Lint removed from the full length of the dryer vent to cut drying time and reduce fire risk.
Dryer Vent Cleaning for Kendall buildings
Forty-year-old attic ducts in Kendall are often grey flex duct with a brittle outer jacket, or duct board with failed tape at every joint. Air lost in the attic never reaches the bedrooms at the end of the run. We pressure-test the duct system and show you the leakage figure before recommending sealing or replacement.
Lint that gets past the dryer's filter collects in the vent pipe. A restricted vent makes the dryer run hotter and longer, and lint is highly flammable. Fire safety agencies attribute thousands of house fires each year to dryers, with failure to clean as the leading cause.
Vents in condos and townhomes are often long, with several bends or a rooftop outlet, and need professional equipment to clean properly.
Signs the vent is blocked
- Clothes need more than one cycle to dry
- The dryer or laundry room is very hot
- A burning smell during a cycle
- The outside vent flap barely opens
- It has been more than a year since the last cleaning
What we do
- We measure airflow at the vent outlet.
- We clean the full run with rotary brushes and a vacuum.
- We clear the outlet hood and check the transition hose behind the dryer.
- We measure airflow again to confirm the improvement.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendall: questions
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Once a year for a typical household, and more often for large families or long vent runs.
Is a permit required for HVAC work in Kendall?
Installing or replacing air conditioning equipment in Kendall requires a mechanical permit and a final inspection. Permits here are issued by Miami-Dade County, since Kendall is unincorporated and has no city building department. Repairs, maintenance and cleaning do not need one. We file the paperwork and attend the inspection.
Who issues AC permits in Kendall?
Kendall is an unincorporated community, so mechanical permits come from Miami-Dade County's permitting office instead of a city building department. We file the permit, schedule the county inspection and meet the inspector on site.
Why are the back bedrooms in my Kendall house always warmer?
On single-storey Kendall homes the bedrooms are usually at the end of the longest duct runs. Leaky or crushed attic ducts and an undersized return are the usual causes. We measure airflow at each register and fix the duct problem, which is often cheaper than replacing the air conditioner.
