Ensuring Competent Dryer Vent Cleaning Services

By Mark Hughes


Many homes today use washing machines as well as clothes dryers. This makes the process of doing laundry easy and fast. It is beneficial to homes that have many residents or whose occupants lead busy lifestyles and do not have ample time to manually clean laundry. The clothes dryer is used sometimes up to seven times in a week. If the vents are not cleaned, damages and blockages can cause fire outbreaks. This is due to the buildup of lint in the systems, blocked exhausts leading outside, bird nests and animal droppings that accumulate in the ventilation systems. Hence, the need for dryer vent cleaning services.

Damages to the vent can cause overheating and fire outbreaks. This can go unnoticed for a long time because often owners only think of cleaning the vent screen occasionally when clothes are loaded. This leaves those that lead outside neglected. To ensure efficiency and safety, it is important to hire cleaning services every year or twice a year. Several factors need to be considered while looking for contractors in San Diego, CA.

One of the first things every contractor does is to do a thorough inspection of the whole system. This allows them to find out if there are any blockages and damages as well as what is causing them. A written and oral report is handed over to the owner. They can then ask any questions and follow up on any matters they might have. Asbestos and mold are two common culprits that require expert attention.

The report allows the owner to know the exact extent of the damage to the system, plus how much blockage exists. This allows them to know the cost of the whole cleaning process. Additionally, a good contractor will be able to provide the owner with a price catalogue and subsequent overall cost expected after inspection is completed. This is very important, as it will enable the owner to know whether they can afford the services.

The cleaning crew should respect and protect all the contents of the home they are servicing. This is very important to avoid inconveniencing the owner after work is completed. The vacuuming system used should be well managed and all the dirt contained. No debris and dirt should be blown into the house or compound. A good professional will allow the owner to watch the work in action and learn a few things in the process.

It is vital that one asks for some recommendations before hiring a company. Good recommendations can come from colleagues, family members, friends and neighbors. It allows one to find a competent choice. Additionally, it is best to ask the potential choices for their references to find out their service quality.

The contractor should have liability insurance. This protects the home of the particular owner from damages caused by work done by the employees. Insurance covers the costs of repair. Compensation for workers is also important as it removes any liability from the owner if injuries occur in their property.

Upon completion, make sure to inspect not only the system for damages but also the entire areas of the compound that the crew had access to. Look for chemical damages on walls and ceilings and see how the system runs after cleaning.
