Apartments, condos, assisted living, etc.
Multiple-unit dwellings often consist of shared dryer vent lines that handle greater volume than those in single-family homes, and for this reason they're prone to some record-setting clogs. Salons, clinics, and laundromats have clothes dryers that tend to operate in overdrive and therefore also require regular cleaning to function optimally and prevent breakdowns. Commercial settings in which we provide dryer vent cleaning include the following:
- Apartment complexes
- Townhomes and condominiums
- Assisted living facilities
- Salons and spas
- Health clubs
- Clinics
- Laundromats
Results achieved with use of a reverse-blowing spinning skipper ball. Job site in Minneapolis, MN.
How we do it
During the estimate phase of the project, our commercial project manager will meet with the site's maintenance or management, survey the property, and determine the project scope. He'll prepare an estimate that includes the number of vent lines to be cleaned, the price, and the method to be utilized.
In multi-unit dwellings such as apartments, the service can usually be performed from the outside only (starting from the outside exhaust vent through to the back of the dryer itself) so that tenants are not inconvenienced.
Our weapon of choice against dryer lint in commercial settings is the reverse-blowing spinning skipper ball, attached to a 50-foot air hose, which is capable of reaching several stories down from the roof if necessary. The technician feeds the tool from the outside exhaust vent through the vent line as far as necessary to the back of the dryer. Once the tool is engaged, the skipper ball simultaneously spins and spits air through tiny holes on its surface. As the tech pulls the line back toward him, lint is expelled with great force from the vent opening. He repeats this process as many times as necessary until perfect airflow is established.

Commercial dryer vent lines can be dozens of feet in length and often require disassembly at a few key points to ensure a thorough cleaning. Results achieved with a reverse-blowing spinning skipper ball. Job site is an assisted living facility in St. Paul, MN.
