In 2006, there were an estimated 17,700 reported U.S.  structure fires involving clothes dryers or washing machines (including combination washer/dryers) resulting in an estimated:

  • 15 civilian deaths
  • 360 civilian injuries
  • $194 million in direct property damage

Though these statistics are true and backed by the U.S. Fire Administration National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) we here at Ark HMC don't believe in scare tactics and this is not one.  We believe that one can make a good decision on having all of the facts in front of them.  These are the facts.  All of these fires could have been avoided by the simple regular maintenance cleaning of your dryer venting and filter system.  Most people don't think much to keep this proper maintenance going and the results can be deadly.  Those who think to clean their venting and filtration systems often don't usually clean them properly, leaving a mess of loose and more flammable debris in the wake of their cleaning.

We here at Ark HMC offer fast, convenient and professional service to make sure your vents and filtration system are free and clear of these dangers.  When we visit you first for your evaluation we will run a video feed into your system to evaluate the need for a cleaning.  Though our customers are not required to be present for this inspection we find that most want to be so they can see for themselves the degree of cleaning needed to properly assure the safe functionality of their dryer vent and dryer filtration system.  After the initial FREE EVALUATION we will then let you know what we can do for you.  We will explain what needs to be done and how much the cost will be at that time.  Once acceptance of the estimate is made we will then set a time to come back to your home and perform the cleaning for you.

Once arriving at your home to perform the work we will always wear debris protection on our feet once entering the home.  We like to start at the dryer side of the line and clean out the lint trap area first.  Once done with that we will then move outside and clean the line from the outside of the home in.  We use all OSHA approved cleaning methods and tools to perform the process.  After the line has been initially cleared using our specialized tools we will then clean the system out with a vacuum system to assure all remaining loose debris is cleared.  The final step of the process is to run the camera system again to assure you that the job was done properly.

Conveniently located in Cornelius, Oregon we service the entire Portland/Metro area from Portland to as far south as Salem, as far west as the north west Oregon Coast, to as far east as Sandy and Troutdale.  And being a licensed and insured company you know that you are in good hands with our little company.  So give us a call or shoot us an email today to receive your FREE/NO-OBLIGATION evaluation and estimate.  Make sure you and your family are safe from the potential harm and loss associated with an uncleaned and unmaintained dryer venting system.  Hope to hear from you soon!
