Commercial Air Duct and Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Louis, MO
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning
Did you know that the same dirt, pollen, and contaminants deposited in the carpeting can also be collected and distributed by your commercial facility’s HVAC mechanical system? The HVAC system is at the heart of your facility, affecting indoor air quality and climate control.
If your air ducts remain clogged for too long, they will work harder to circulate air and your HVAC system will run longer throughout the day, shortening its lifespan. Removing the health hazards at the source can improve the health of your employees, visitors, tenants, and customers, as well as increase the efficiency of your HVAC system, saving you money and maintenance.
Indoor air quality can be compromised by dirty air ducts. Everyday occupancy of a building produces contaminants and air pollutants, like dander, dust, and chemicals. These are recirculated many times a day through the HVAC system. The contaminants also build up in the ductwork over time.
If the building experiences a catastrophe, like fire, floods, water damage, or mold, all the residual smoke, debris, and other air contaminants will further affect the air ducts. It’s important to have the ducts cleaned as soon as possible if you experience such a disastrous event. If left to accumulate, these pollutants can contribute to health issues, especially for people with respiratory issues, autoimmune disorders, or environmental allergies.
Another disadvantage of dirty air ducts is the increased energy used. The contaminants in the HVAC system cause the system to work harder and will shorten the life of the system. Cleaning the ducts will improve the efficiency of the system, reducing energy use, thus costs to heat or cool the building.

Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning
Countless structural fires take place every year from clothes dryers with clogged or dirty dry vents. It is estimated that those fires sustain more than $100,000,000 of property loss each year-- in addition to associated deaths and injuries. The most common cause of clothes dryer fires is a clogged-up dryer vent. This issue can be totally prevented with proper and routine maintenance and cleaning.
What Is Dryer Vent Cleaning?
Every business owner or property manager who provides in-house laundry services needs to be aware of the last time their clothes dryer vent was cleaned out. When you hire St. Louis Cleaning & Restoration to look after your clothes dryer vent cleaning, you can rest assured that we will get rid of the lint and other particles that could become jammed in the venting system and lead to fires.
While you may be able to clean up and maintain some areas of your clothes dryer vents yourself, such as the lint catcher and tailpipe, professional attention to other locations of your clothes dryer's venting system (e.g., pipelines going through walls or ceilings) is highly advised.
Even if you try to clean your lint traps regularly, not all the lint from your laundry is eliminated. Only about 25 percent of the lint from your clothing is gathered by the lint trap you move out of the front of your clothes dryer. That means the rest is developing in the dryer vent system, restricting air flow, and triggering your clothes dryer to work more difficult.
