CDET helps credibility; repair changes scope

Dryer vent cleaning is low-cost and has a real fire-safety reason for customers to care. The business question is density: a few close stops or property-manager accounts can work, while paid one-off leads across town can erase the ticket. The first helper or second vehicle should wait until the route is visible.

Before you lean on it

Do not oversell the certificate or outrun the map. Build dense repeat accounts first, then check local rules before moving into repair, install, duct, or HVAC work.
