Why Pittsburgh homeowners need vent cleaning

Pittsburgh's housing stock is among the oldest in the United States. Many homes were built in the early 1900s with ductwork that's been patched, extended, and neglected for decades. Combined with extreme cold winters that keep dryers running constantly, lint buildup in Pittsburgh homes is a real and urgent fire hazard.

  • Oldest housing stock in the country — many Pittsburgh homes have original or aging ductwork that's never been professionally inspected
  • Extreme cold winters — dryers run far more frequently November through March, accelerating lint buildup
  • High fire risk from old vents — outdated vinyl and foil ducts in older homes are a major fire hazard
  • Longer vent runs — many Pittsburgh homes have basements with dryers far from exterior walls, creating long vent paths that trap more lint
