Laundry Dryer Duct Cleaning
When a commercial dryer vent is clogged, airflow is reduced and commercial dryers are forced to work harder.
This means the air travelling through the ductwork and vents gets hotter and does not dry effectively, which
can cause:
Potential for lint to ignite as the heated air moves slower and temperature intensifies.
Accelerated thermostat and internal sensor failure.
Reduction in the lifespan of your appliance.
Higher energy consumption.
Most commercial dryers come with lint traps, or filters, designed to capture the lint, yet only 30-40% is
typically collected. The remainder sticks to the duct work and piping. Lint and other debris builds up over time
so it is not ever safe to assume that emptying the filter regularly is enough to protect your property from a
dryer vent fire.
Some of the signs you need commercial dryer vent cleaning:
There is an accumulation of lint or debris on the external vent.
The dryer is hot to the touch indicating it is overheating.
It takes more than one drying cycle to dry one load.
The laundered items smell “musty” after being in the dryer.
Laundry Dryer Duct Cleaning Procedure
The formal process for all our projects remain the same as it has been stated above for the HVAC system
cleaning process.
Kitchen Exhaust Duct Cleaning
Grease from the kitchen travels into the hood, through the vent hood filters, into ductwork that leads to the
exhaust fan on the roof. Grease is a fuel that can ignite with a simple spark from the kitchen cooking line and
spread throughout the attic and onto the roof in seconds causing severe damage and potential loss of life. The
owner of the exhaust system has the ultimate responsibility to ensure the exhaust system is safe.
AIRTECH cleans your kitchen exhaust system from cook-top to roof-top to ensure that your exhaust system is
completely cleaned to the NFPA Standard-96. Many of our competitors clean only where you can see and
don’t spend time on the areas you can’t. We clean the hood, the entire duct work and the blower fan. We
even prove it through our Picture Verification System which we provide on every clean!
Having your exhaust system cleaned regularly is not only for the safety of your customer, employees, and your
building; it’s mandated by law that you have it done.
Kitchen Exhaust System Inspection & Cleaning Schedule
It is very typical for a municipality to adopt the standard written by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) as the local law or code for building and cleaning commercial kitchen grease hoods. The NFPA is an
independent organization, not an arm of the government. The standard that the NFPA has written concerning
