Has your strata been hiring a company to clean from the Exterior Only? Here are some potential issues that could be missed with this method:
-
Fire hazards inside of the dryer.
-
Dryers not functioning properly / blowers not working.
-
Crushed or damaged transition hoses.
-
Disconnections in the wall or ceiling/attic.
-
Blockages in the vent.
-
Can't test the airflow from the exterior of the vent.
There are very good reasons why we always send a technician inside. Although exterior cleaning seems more convenient, it is not a proper job. At Clean Air Force, we actually care about your safety and the safety of those around you!

After almost a decade in business, Clean Air Force is becoming the trusted name for strata dryer vent cleaning. Over the past several years we have discovered countless fire hazards and other problems that had previously never been addressed because the strata had been using an "exterior only" cleaning option. It has become industry standard practice on Vancouver Island for companies to clean dryer vents from the exterior only but to us this makes no sense. After all, dryers catch fire not dryer vents.
We realize that inside access can be hard to co-ordinate, and an exterior only cleaning option seems convenient. This leaves your home, family and neighbours at risk of a potential dangerous fire. We accommodate schedules the best we can.
We will require inside access to all units as we do not offer an exterior only cleaning option.
Dryer vents should never be cleaned from the exterior only. This could potentially leave units with major fire hazards that have not been addressed. Over recent years we have been discovering some major fire hazards that had never previously been addressed because the Strata had been choosing an "exterior only" cleaning option for many years. It has become standard industry practice on Vancouver Island for companies to clean dryer vents from the exterior only, but to us this makes no sense. After all, dryers catch fire not dryer vents.
Essential Dryer Vent Cleaning
We do not move the dryer.
Scope of Work: Includes cleaning out the dryer lint trap crevice to make sure the blower is clear of debris. A visual inspection of the dryer for fire hazards, as well as a visual inspection of the flex transition hose to ensure it is in good condition and connected securely. Each occupant is responsible for the maintenance of their own flex hose. We then clean the entire run of the vent from the exterior using high-powered compressed air. Finally, we test the airflow from the exterior to verify the dryer is exhausting properly. We use a net to catch most of the lint so the mess will be very minimal.

This option is available to dryers which can be easily pulled out.

We then pull out the dryer and clean out the transition flex hose, as well as the back of the dryer with a shop vac. We also vacuum and clean out behind the dryer. After reconnecting the dryer, we then clean the entire run of the vent from the exterior using high-powered compressed air. For the final step, we test the airflow from the exterior to verify the dryer is exhausting properly. We use a net to catch most of the lint so the mess will be very minimal.
