The dryer vent is a small but important part of our homes that needs to be cleaned and maintained. In Quail Run, the owner is responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of the dryer vent exhaust duct from the dryer to the outside vent and for the exterior vent cover.
The most important consideration in cleaning the dryer vent is safety. The National Fire Protection Agency reports that 92% of home fires are caused by clothes dryers with 27% of those fires resulting from lint, dust or fiber. Each dryer should be on a regular cleaning schedule. Owners should pay close attention to signs of a dirty dryer. Additional benefits from cleaning a dryer vent system include improved efficiency, extending the lifespan of the dryer, less exposure to carbon monoxide and less potential damage to clothing from lower temperatures and lesser dry times.
The vent cover is an important element in that it keeps rodents out and allows proper air flow while preventing lint build-up. The Association requires that the vent cover match the color of the exterior adjacent trim, which is typically almond. In cases where the vent cover is adjacent to masonry, the vent cover must be a white or almond color.
Local cleaning companies offer dryer cleaning services. Or self-dryer cleaning tools can be purchased on Amazon or local home improvement stores. Please take the time to ensure your dryer vent system is safe for your safety and the safety of your neighbors.
The Association's tree trimming contractor completed work in the community on Sandpiper Lane, Grouse Court, Quail Run Road and Scott Lane. The tree trimming work was planned and coordinated between the contractor's arborist and the Association's Property Manager. The larger trees in the community are trimmed on a 3-5 year cycle. The Association utilizes a professional tree trimming contractor with knowledge and expertise in caring for large trees. This work ensures the continuing health and safety of the large oak, maple, locust and ash trees that add a beautiful and protective aspect to our community.
The Association's tree removal contractor completed work to remove seven (7) trees that were in poor health or no longer manageable. The trees were removed at locations along Scott Lane and Grouse Court. The trees were removed by a contractor specializing in tree removal.
The Association believes the large mature trees in the community are a unique asset that beautify the community and provide energy savings to residents through shade. Where trees must be removed, the Association will work with its landscaping and tree contractors to restore the areas. Planning involves utilizing appropriate plantings and locations. Any questions pertaining to the trees can be directed to the Association office.
The Association recently purchased and installed a new professional-grade pool cover. The new pool cover was installed in consultation with the Association's pool maintenance contractor.
The Association completed extensive renovations to the pool and pool area in 2020, which included a new plaster finish and tile work. The plaster finish requires that water remain in the pool over the fall and winter months to protect the finish. Keeping water in the pool requires a pool cover to keep debris and sunlight out and to keep the water clean.
The Association utilized a low-cost tarp cover with water bag weights over the past three years. These covers were difficult to maintain and subject to tears and holes, which limited their effectiveness and lead to unsightly sagging and openings. In consultation with pool maintenance professionals, the Association decided that a higher-grade, strongly supported mesh cover tied to pinned anchors in the concrete deck was needed to protect the investment in the pool and eliminate potential cover damage and failures.
The new pool cover is an asset to our pool facility that will protect the investment in the pool and maintain an attractive appearance through the off-season months for years to come.
