The first step of the process is to turn on the dryer and check the air flow at the output of the vent. If there is no air flow whatsoever, and we feel there is a disconnected vent, we will notify the owner before the cleaning begins.

If there is air flow, we will then start the cleaning process as described below: In most cases the dryer will be disconnected from the vent and moved away from the work area. Once the dryer is moved away from the vent, we then vacuum inside the dryer exhaust as well as the back of the dryer and the floor under it’s original location. A HEPA vacuum is then attached to the duct work at the output to keep air flow and dust moving away from the source. While the duct work is under a vacuum, we employ tools that will dislodge and push any debris through the duct work to the outside HEPA vacuum. These tools will “snake” through the vent from the dryer to the outside of the building. After the duct work is clean, the dryer will be reconnected and turned on, so that we can check the air flow at the output of the vent. If the air flow is sufficient, the dryer will be put back to the original location. If the air flow is not, we will repeat the process.
