For Chicago Property Managers
Per-Unit Dryer Vent Compliance for Chicago Property Portfolios
Stop relying on a vendor who hands you a one-line invoice. We deliver per-unit PDF reports with airflow measurements, borescope photos, and CO readings — the documentation your owners, insurers, and city inspectors actually accept.

Why generic vent companies fail you
No paper trail per unit
Most cleaners give you one invoice for 40 units. When a fire marshal or insurer asks for unit 3B's last service, you're guessing.
No measurements, just labor
Without pre/post airflow in FPM, you cannot prove the vent was actually restored — only that someone showed up with a brush.
Code blind spots
Chicago 18-28-504 and IRC M1502 require <35 ft equivalent length, rigid metal, and a working backdraft damper. Routine cleaners rarely check, let alone document.
What you receive
Every visit produces a defensible paper trail — not a verbal "looks good."
- One PDF audit report per unit with unit number, address, and date stamped on every page
- Pre-clean and post-clean anemometer readings (FPM) at the exterior hood
- Manometer back-pressure reading (in. w.c.) — proves restored airflow, not just visible lint
- Borescope photos of the duct interior at 4 ft, midpoint, and termination
- Carbon monoxide reading at the vent outlet for every gas dryer
- IRC M1502 + Chicago 18-28-504 compliance checklist with Pass / Caution / Fail verdict
- Annual portfolio rollup spreadsheet for board meetings and insurance renewals
- Single point of contact, scheduled access windows, and tenant-facing notices on request
Built on Chicago 18-28-504 and IRC M1502.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer volume pricing for portfolios over 20 units?+
Yes. Pricing scales with unit count and access logistics. Send us your portfolio size and we will return a per-unit rate within one business day.
Can you coordinate tenant access notices?+
Yes. We provide a 48-hour notice template you can send through your tenant portal, and we work in scheduled blocks to minimize disruption.
What if a unit fails the inspection?+
The audit report flags it Caution or Fail with specific code references and photos. You get a remediation scope and quote. We do not upsell repairs we cannot document a need for.
Do you handle high-rise rooftop terminations?+
Yes. We carry harness/PPE for rooftop work and document hood condition, screen presence, and damper function with photos.
Can you bill the building, not the tenant?+
Yes. Standard for property management contracts. We invoice per portfolio cycle with a line item per unit.
