In a multi-family building, dryer exhaust is a shared-risk system: every suite’s duct carries the same lint load, and a restricted duct in one unit is a problem for the whole building. That’s why strata councils increasingly put dryer vent cleaning on a recurring, building-wide schedule rather than leaving it to individual owners.
The challenge isn’t the cleaning — it’s the coordination. A 150-suite building means 150 access appointments, residents with questions, a handful of suites that can’t be entered on the scheduled day, and rooftop terminations that need to be serviced along with the risers below them.
How our programs run
We plan the schedule with your property manager or council, typically by floor or block of suites. Residents receive notice with clear instructions on access and what to expect. Our technicians work through the building systematically, cleaning each suite’s exhaust run and the associated exterior or rooftop terminations, and servicing booster fans where installed.
Every suite is tracked. Suites we can’t access aren’t silently skipped — they’re recorded, and depending on the program we schedule a catch-up visit or fold them into the next cycle.
The completion report
When the program wraps, council receives a completion summary: suites scheduled and completed, no-access units and their status, deficiencies observed (with photos where useful), and the recommended next service date. It’s the document that lets a council demonstrate the building’s exhaust systems are actually being maintained.
