Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning


Are your dryer vents a potential fire hazard?

  • Dryer lint is highly flammable, and according to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, accounts for over 15,000 dryer vent fires a year!


  • Many commercial dryers are gas-powered. If the vent is plugged with lint, an animal nest or other debris, deadly carbon monoxide problems may result.


  • Lint build-up results in dryers that require more energy (money) to operate. Your employee or tenant will be frustrated and let you know it takes three drying cycles instead of one!

Dryer Vent Checklist:

  • Laundry load should dry in one cycle.


  • Dryer duct must be at least as large in diameter as the dryer outlet.


  • Use metal seam tape to secure dryer vent. Don’t use rivets or screws (they collect lint).


  • Any “concealed” ducting should be rigid aluminum or galvanized pipe.


  • Use flexible or rigid metal pipe between dryer and duct. Don’t use plastic vent.


  • Always vent dryer to outside. Don’t vent into basement or chimney.


  • Outside termination should have back draft/animal guard.


  • Keep vent as short and straight as possible. Maximum length should be (2) 90 degree elbows and 15’ of straight pipe unless otherwise permitted by dryer manufacturer.


  • Clean lint filter after every dryer load.
