Before Booking Please Read
- The Client is hiring David Osborn aka David's Dryer Vent Cleaning Service, for the task of clothes dryer exhaust vent duct lint, debris and/or nest removal.
- Payment is due immediately upon completion of the job.. Checks by mail is not an accepted method of payment.
- Please be prepared ahead of time. Prior to your appointment please have laundry area clean and free of any laundry, ironing boards, cat boxes and other obstacles. Any wall hangings around the washer/dryer must be removed to prevent them from falling or hindering the work process. This helps me do my job quickly and efficiently.
- I provide a specialized cleaning service for clothes dryer exhaust vent duct lint, debris and/or nest removal only. The purpose of this service is to improve the performance of the clothes dryer, lower energy use and help prevent a dryer fire. Often I will make recommendations to prevent future problems. If the client ignores a recommendation, I cannot be held liable for any consequences.
- I do not make appliance repairs. I do not make home repairs or alter a building in an manner and do not do house cleaning. Repairing damaged ducts and outlets should be done only buy an insured and appropriate trade contractor, not a cleaning company.
- I am not responsible for preexisting conditions, damaged floors, walls, drip pans, disconnected or damaged ducts or outlet covers.
- Dryer exhaust vent ducts which exit through the roof of a building and have a damper, box type outlet cover, have problems with the damper sticking closed when clogged with wet lint. When this happens, the outlet cover must be repaired or replaced by a roofer or the property owner. DUE TO SAFETY AND INSURANCE ISSUES, I do not go on rooftops or under buildings.
- There are a vast number of homes with dryer vents on second story tile roofs, many with solar panels. I can only clean the duct and cannot clean or repair damaged vent outlet covers. Only after cleaning the vent, can I check the air flow to determine if the outlet is functioning properly. If a rooftop outlet cover is damaged or clogged to the point that it cannot be cleared from inside, it must be removed, repaired and/or replaced by a roofer or other qualified, and appropriately insured professional.
- In most cases, I require access to the connections on the back of the dryer. I am not responsible for damages which occur when MOVING WASHERS and/or DRYERS, this includes floors and drip pans.
- If it is necessary to move a stacked dryer to gain access to the vent connection, it is the customer's responsibility to have it moved PRIOR to the appointment. Again, before your appointment, have all items clear from the top, sides and above he washer and dryer. Also for outlets, remove any obstructions around the exhaust outlet, such as trash cans, plants or toys.
- Recommendations: I frequently make recommendations to help the client maintain a safe and healthy environment. This is helpful and sometimes required information meant to help conserve energy, help prevent a dryer fire and/or carbon monoxide poisoning. Often, conditions exist where aesthetics must be sacrificed for safety. For example, if a dryer must not be pushed back against the wall to prevent crushing the connection duct. It may not line up evenly with the washer, therefor many get upset because it doesn't look even. Do you want it to be even and not work properly, possibly causing a fire? Or make appliance safety a preference? I will not try to sell you anything. However, I may recommend repairs or modifications be made by outside, qualified contractors of which I am not affiliated with. My recommendations are not to make money but for your convenience and/or safety.
