Common questions
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Peterborough?
Yes. Condo boards in Peterborough typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
Do you need a permit for dryer vent cleaning in Peterborough?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Peterborough. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day dryer vent cleaning in Peterborough?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Peterborough for most standard scopes.
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost in Peterborough?

What warranty do you offer on dryer vent cleaning in Peterborough?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
Is dryer vent cleaning covered by home insurance in Peterborough?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
