Though it’s not that common, some homes in and around King County do have the laundry room situated on the second floor. If this is the case, the home likely has a rooftop dryer vent. This makes maintenance more challenging.

Rooftop Dryer Vent Inspections Near King County

Maintaining a dryer vent on a rooftop is more or less the same as when the unit is at ground level. However, more precautions are required. After all, the inspector has to get and move around the roof. This is why we advise against DIY cleaning.

The contractor scales the roof and evaluates the vent. This is done by running the unit on air-only and verifying all connections are in good order. If there are blockages, then the air shuttling out of the rooftop vent is drastically inhibited.

The Cleaning Process

One of our methodologies includes using a reverse-blowing air ball that we apply into the duct. Employing an air trigger, the air ball cleans the vent interior lining, including the damper and hood. This blows out the lint in hard-to-reach spots like the inner hood surrounding the damper. The lint often becomes lodged as it hardens upon exposure to cold weather. Once the lint loosens, swaths of lint balls begin discharging and fall to the floor, which you can then easily sweep up.

For a complete cleaning, a professional cleaner needs to access the roof. From the ground, you can only remove some amount of lint and certainly not all of it.

Called Aurora Edmonds Furnace Cleaning to get the exhaust for our Oil Furance and Dryer vent cleaned. Spoke with someone promptly and they got me scheduled quickly. Cleaners arrived on time, explained what they were doing, and were very thorough in their cleaning.

I needed to get the ducts and the fan cleaned. In the vents Jay found stuff my teengage kids played with when they were babies which tells me that the previos company I hired didn't do a good job. Everything is clean, I had a lot of questions and everything got answered. Other than cleaning the fan and ducts, Jay fixed the grid, the datached vents - thank you for helping me to keep my home clean! In my opinion this a much better quality work than most other companies out here.

Mike and Andrew cleaned out my dryer vent. We had never moved the dryer before to realize there was a hole in our vent duct that was leaking lint into our wall. They also cleaned out the wall cavity and applied metal duct tape to seal the vent until a replacement duct can be installed. Their thoughtfulness and above and beyond work helped save our home from a potential and hidden fire-danger. Thank you!

I called so many different companies and none of them would clean my dryer vent because of its odd location. I found AEF and they where able to come out the next day to find the problem with my vent. The technicians where super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will be calling AEF again in the future.

Great and timely service in a friendly but professional manner. I called a month after the service with a question and the owner dropped by personally to make sure everything was working properly. Beer impressive!
