A 312-unit garden-style community across 18 buildings, cleaned over nine days while fully occupied.
Scope of Work
- HVAC supply ducts
- Return ducts
- Dryer vent cleaning
- Exhaust systems
- Coil inspection
- Register cleaning
What We Found
Airflow verification at every unit is the diagnostic step. A unit still restricted after a full-run clean has a physical duct problem, not a lint problem. Here is what the deficiency log recorded:
- Heavy lint accumulation throughout dryer exhaust runs
- Blocked rooftop exhaust terminations
- Dust build-up inside supply trunks
- Multiple disconnected dryer transitions
- Poor airflow in upper-floor units
Results
- Airflow improved by approximately 22%
- Dryer drying times reduced significantly
- Maintenance callouts related to airflow reduced during the following quarter
- Fire risk substantially reduced through lint removal
How It Ran
Crews worked building by building over 9 days with a published sequence, and resident notices issued through the management office. The property remained occupied throughout. Every unit was photographed before and after, and the complete report — per-building photographs, deficiency log with unit locations, airflow verification summary and completion certificate referencing NFPA 211 — was delivered within 48 hours of completion.
Why the Deficiencies Matter More Than the Lint
Lint is the cheap problem. It is removed by cleaning and it comes back on a predictable cycle. The disconnected transitions and blocked terminations found on this project are different: they are physical faults that no amount of cleaning fixes, and they were invisible to the property’s maintenance team because the residents’ dryers appeared to work.
