Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in NYC and the Hudson Valley

What is commercial dryer vent cleaning?

Commercial dryer vent cleaning is clearing the lint out of the vents of dryers that run far more than a household's: laundromats, laundry rooms in apartment buildings, and other businesses and buildings with several dryers. Every load sends lint into the vent, so a dryer that runs all day fills its vent many times faster than a home dryer. Your Neighbor's Air Care clears every run from the machine to the outside, with photographs before and after.

Your Neighbor's Air Care cleans the vents. It does not repair or service the dryers themselves, and it does not work on gas lines or electrical supplies.

Which businesses need commercial dryer vent cleaning?

Your Neighbor's Air Care cleans dryer vents for:

• Laundromats
• Laundry rooms in apartment buildings, co-ops and condos
• Other businesses and buildings with several dryers

In Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island, a building laundry room is often in the basement, where the vent runs can be long before they reach the outside.

Why do commercial dryer vents clog so much faster?

Lint builds up with every load, and a commercial dryer runs many loads a day, every day. The vents are often longer than in a house, because the machines sit in a basement or the middle of a building, and several dryers may connect to one main run. The National Fire Protection Association's tip sheet says to clean lint out of the vent pipe once a year, or more often if drying takes longer than normal. For a machine that runs all day, more often is the rule, not the exception. A run that comes out packed with lint is a sign it needs cleaning more often than it has been.

How does Your Neighbor's Air Care clean commercial dryer vents?

Each machine gets the same order of work:

• The dryer pulled out where it can be, and the connection behind it checked
• The run brushed with a rotary brush while a vacuum pulls the lint out, from the machine to the outside
• Every vent run cleared of lint to the outside
• The lint trap and the housing it slides into cleared
• The outside hood and its flap cleared and checked
• The airflow checked before and after
• Photographs of the lint that came out and of the clean run, sent to the owner or manager

If a run is crushed, torn or disconnected, the crew photographs it and quotes the dryer vent repair separately.

Can the cleaning be planned around opening hours?

Yes. Your Neighbor's Air Care works seven days a week between nine in the morning and nine at night, and the visit is booked inside those hours at a quiet time for the business. Say on the first call when the quiet hours are.

What does the business get at the end?

Your Neighbor's Air Care hands back records the business can keep:

• Before and after photographs of the dryer vent runs, including the lint that came out
• Photographs of any run that is crushed, torn or disconnected
• Proof of the cleaning for a landlord, an insurer or the building's records
