At Dryer Vent Cleaning Pro, our professional Los Angeles dryer vent cleaning includes ground-level dryer vent cleaning, second-story dryer vent cleaning and dryer vent cleaning on roofs.
From inspection to final airflow tests, the goal of our dryer vent cleaning service is to remove any lint or other debris that may be blocking the vent, as well as to inspect and repair the vent as needed to ensure that it is functioning properly.
If you are experiencing issues with your roof vents, it is important to have them cleaned regularly to ensure they function properly. Our roof dryer vent cleaning in Los Angeles includes:
Our roof-level dryer vent cleaning in Los Angeles involves inspecting, cleaning and disinfecting dryer vent that is located on the roof of a building.
This type of cleaning is typically more challenging than cleaning a dryer vent on the ground, as it involves working at heights and requires extra caution.
For dryer vents that are located on the roof, we will follow these steps:
After completing the first steps, we will clean the entire length of the exterior duct, starting at the back of the dryer and ending beneath the roof vent cover. As we clean from the bottom up, the lint and debris will naturally fall out of the vent.
Next, we will attach the vent to the vacuum using an adapter and use it to remove all excess lint from the vent. We will switch the vacuum to the blowing setting and check for back pressure.
Afterwards, we will thoroughly clean the roof vent cover because the screen on the vent cover poses a fire hazard and is not code-compliant, so we must remove it.
As with the ground-level cleaning process, for second-story vents, we will also begin on the inside, check for damage and clogs to the flex hose, disconnect the dryer and thoroughly clean the flex hose with the rotary brush (we use the brush in most cases).
We will then use the rotary brush to clean the exterior vent past the first elbow and remove some of the lint accumulated in the line. After that, we will connect the vacuum to the exterior vent using the adapter and check for back pressure.
As a professional Los Angeles dryer vent cleaning company, we guarantee you several benefits to cleaning the roof and second-story dryer vents:
Overall, regularly cleaning roof-level or second-story dryer vents will help improve your dryer’s efficiency, safety, and lifespan, as well as the air quality in the home.
Roof and second-story dryer vents prevent different challenges, which we help you handle. The challenges include the following:
Firstly, being located on rooftops, they are hard to access, therefore, are hard to clean and maintain. Roof dryer vents usually have screens in their terminal ends. These create blockages and prevent lint from escaping and thus resulting in excess lint accumulation. Lint accumulation is very dangerous; lint being highly flammable, can easily burst into flames and cause dryer fires.
Secondly, they are ports of disposal of hot moist air; in regions of frequent snowfall, they cause roof leakages by contributing largely to ice dams. When dryers vent through the roof, they melt a bunch of snow. After the snow melts below the vent, it will probably re-freeze farther down on the roof, and this process would continue over time and result in the creation of ice dams and cause roof leakages.
Thirdly, leakages may be formed in the vent for being badly installed. This would interfere with the efficient disposal of the hot moist air and, over time, would hamper the dryer’s performance.
Other issues that can arise with roof vents include:
We recommend regular inspections and proper maintenance of roof vents to ensure that they function properly and address any issues that may arise.
