Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning Baton Rouge
Preventing a Preventable Fire
It might be tempting to think that your commercial dryer vent system is equipped to function well enough without your oversight; but the lint that accumulates inside can present an unknown danger to your business's bottom line and your customers' safety. A clogged commercial dryer ventilation system can cause clothes to not properly be dried, mold and other allergens to build up inside and around the machines, and deadly fires. Thankfully, you can make sure that your clients' safety and belongings are properly managed by having your commercial dryer vents professionally cleaned by the HVAC experts at Duct Doctor!
Proven Process
We use a safe and proven, 3-Step approach, to removing dryer vent debris:
- We inspect the vent prior to cleaning. This allows us to see where the vent is running, and it allows the homeowner to view the amount of buildup inside the vent.
- After the inspection, we begin the cleaning process. We use up to 200psi of high compressed air to agitate and remove the debris from the dryer vent. This buildup is often a combination of dust and lint, however, we have also cleaned out several bird nests!
- Finally, we perform a final inspection to ensure there are no blockages remaining, and that all debris has been removed from the dryer vent.
Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning
The importance of professional dryer vent cleaning in Baton Rouge
During the drying process, a commercial dryer's lint catcher will accumulate most of the lint produced. Although these catchers have been designed with industrial use in mind, it's still a matter of time before some will start to slip through the fine crevices and build up in areas of the dryer where they shouldn't be. Thousands of businesses, whether dedicated laundering services or companies that use industrial dryers in a secondary service capacity, experience accidental fires every year. If your commercial dryer vents are dented, obstructed, or otherwise damaged, then the process of dangerous heat levels building up inside the system during use is only expedited. Rather than letting that tinder morph into a raging bonfire, rely on Duct Doctor to service your commercial ventilation system in Baton Rouge regularly so that this risk is eliminated.
