Commercial And Industrial Dryer Vent Inspection and Cleaning Tucson, AZ

Cleaning your Commercial or Industrial Dryer Vent may not seem like an important service that needs to be done. But you’d be surprised that by having your system cleaned by a professional will save money on your utility bill and most importantly reduce the risk of your facility having a dryer vent fire. It is recommended the dryer vent system be inspected at least once a year, by a certified company. Having it cleaned as required can improve functionality and will create a safer laundry area. When the dryer vents become full of dryer lint it will not ventilate the air from the dryer this causes the drying time to double. Commercial and Industrial Dryers will over heat; this will cause the dryer to stop working and need repairs. You could be replacing equipment; when all you needed to do was clean the dryer vent, regularly.

Basic Dryer Vent Cleaning

1.      Power Off – Unplug the dryer (For gas-powered dryers you must also disconnect the gas line.)

2.      Move the Dryer (if possible) you will want to move the dryer out from the wall.  Most Commercial and Industrial Dryers are typically moveable. Hopefully this space is enough for you to access behind the dryer and get to the vent.

3.      Remove the Dryer Vent (ductwork/pipe) and all dryer vent access doors – Inspect the entire dryer vent duct from the dryer to the exit point. There should be no cracks or restrictions. The vent should be air tight from the dryer to end of the discharge vent

4.      Remove the Lint – Lint should be removed from both the vent and the back of the dryer. You can reach in and pull out the lint but for a more thorough cleaning use a vacuum hose. CRC has multiple flex rods and specialized dryer vent cleaning equipment. Even small amounts of lint build up can create a safety hazard. Lint can also be backed up in the dryer itself. A professional needs to remove that back panel of the dryer to clean the inside.
