The recent storm on Tuesday, April 29 took a heavy toll on the Pittsburgh area. Fortunately, our community weathered the storm relatively unscathed. There were some fallen branches and a portion of a small crabapple tree was damaged. There were a couple of isolated roof and siding issues.
The Association has been working with an arborist and professional tree trimming company to maintain the many mature trees in the community . This work includes pruning and trimming large trees on a 3-5 year cycle, removing unhealthy trees and professionally planting new trees. Most importantly, steel cabling and wiring were installed on specified trees to limit twisting and to allow the tree to sway as one unit in strong winds.
In addition, the Association's roofing maintenance contractor completed maintenance work on all fifty-one buildings in the weeks prior to the storm. The contractor replaced missing shingles, fixed nail pops, sealed and tightened roof vents, resealed and tightened gutters and made upper siding repairs.
The on-going roof and tree maintenance work done in coordination with our Property Manager helped to minimize the potential damage from the storm. The Association is very appreciative of our contractors and their hard work and dedication to our community.

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.
