COIT is one of South Jersey’s leading companies for carpet, flooring and upholstery cleaning, air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning and for providing restoration services.
As we know, disaster can strike unexpectedly at any time, and that’s when COIT’s restoration team steps in quickly and reliably.
“Our trained and certified technicians are great problem solvers,” says Lori Topiel, co-owner of COIT. “In the case of water damage, for example, it’s tricky because sometimes water looks like it’s just a quarter of the basement, but really, it’s behind the woodwork and behind the walls or under furniture. The extent of the damage is not always known upon first glance.”
The COIT team knows there is more at stake than a financial loss. Severe damage to one’s home such as fire, smoke, water, mold and other types of related disaster damage takes an emotional toll, too. COIT can work with insurance companies to ensure the claims are getting processed and questions are being answered.
“We keep you in the loop during the restoration process and provide documentation of our progress along the way. We make it our mission to get homes back to pre-loss condition as quickly and efficiently as possible,” says Topiel.
Another important factor that can cause a disaster is clogged dry vents. “Homeowners may think if they clean the lint tray after each use they are safe; however, it’s the vents connected to your dryer that can get clogged with lint and cause a fire. Clothes dryers are a leading cause of home fires in the United States and should be cleaned once a year,” Topiel says.
In fact, 2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated five deaths, 100 injuries and $35 million in property loss. Every time the dryer runs, vents collect direct, dander, dust and other contaminants.
Vents collect direct, dander, dust and other contaminants each time you run your dryer. People often don’t recognize or ignore the signs of a clogged dryer vent, which can have disastrous results.
One call to COIT can help secure the health and safety of your home. Our trained technicians use the same exclusive HEPA-Aire™ vacuum and Aire-Sweep™ compressor system employed in our air duct cleaning service to clean the lint and debris from your dryer vents. A dryer vent cleaning does not take long and the result: a home safer from fire, shorter dryer running times and lower energy bills
Whether you need emergency services, cleaning services or the peace of mind that your dryer vent is safe, one call to COIT can help ensure your home is restored back to normal, clean and protected.
