Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterTrusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Dallas Homeowners
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dallas typically costs $149-$289 for a standard single-family home and takes 60-90 minutes from arrival to photo documentation. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Dallas has performed this service in more than 52,000 homes since 2013, every one with a written price agreed before work started and a documented photo record delivered afterward. In Dallas neighborhoods from Lakewood to Preston Hollow, we regularly find vents restricted by lint compaction, bird nesting, and the fine construction dust that settles in new builds between 2015 and 2025. Call (469) 405-6133 for a free written estimate with no obligation to book.
We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, led by Tomas Reyes. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, not as a verbal assurance that disappears with the technician.
What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service Includes
Dryer Vent Inspection
A proper Dryer Vent Inspection starts before any tool touches your vent. We run a borescope camera through the full duct run (the continuous pathway from your dryer’s transition hose to the exterior termination point) to record what we find: lint depth, moisture damage, improper slope, or structural compromise. In Dallas, we often see vents in newer homes in neighborhoods like Bishop Arts and the Design District routed with too many elbows to accommodate tight framing, which traps lint at each turn. You’ll receive these images as part of your documented photo record, with a written scope of work and price before we proceed.
Vent Cleaning
Vent Cleaning is the mechanical removal of lint and debris from the full length of your dryer exhaust system using negative-pressure extraction (a sealed suction method that pulls debris out without releasing it into your home). We use professional-grade equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies, selected based on your vent’s length, material, and degree of restriction. A typical Dallas home with a 15-25 foot rigid metal vent run requires 45-60 minutes of active cleaning. The camera goes back in afterward to verify the passage is clear, and those after photos are delivered with your job record.
Lint Removal
Lint removal addresses the accumulated fiber that escapes your dryer’s lint trap and compacts in the ductwork over months of use. In Dallas, where cotton and synthetic blends dominate local laundry loads, we regularly measure lint build-up exceeding 2 inches at the first elbow. This material is highly combustible; the U.S. Fire Administration identifies it as the leading cause of residential dryer fires. Our crews remove this material completely, not just dislodge it, and the photo record shows the difference between what was there and what remains.
Vent Rerouting
Vent rerouting becomes necessary when the original duct path is structurally unsound, improperly sloped, or terminated in a location that violates current code. We’ve rerouted vents in Dallas homes where previous owners or builders ran flexible transition hose through attics or crawl spaces, creating sag points where lint collects and moisture condenses. A reroute involves designing a new path with proper slope (minimum 1/4 inch per foot toward the termination), rigid metal duct where accessible, and a written price for the full scope before any demolition begins. Haven Standard Clause 1 applies: no work starts without a written price.
Bird Guard Installation
Bird guard installation prevents avian nesting and rodent entry at your vent’s exterior termination. In Dallas, chimney swifts, sparrows, and starlings commonly enter uncapped vents, building nests that completely block airflow and create fire hazards. We install guards from Guardsman and other trade-recognized manufacturers sized to your vent diameter, with mesh fine enough to exclude animals but engineered to allow proper lint and moisture exhaust. This is a permanent solution, not a temporary screen that will clog or corrode.
Vent Cap Replacement
Vent cap replacement addresses damaged, missing, or improperly spec’d termination covers that allow backdraft, pest entry, or lint accumulation at the exit point. Dallas weather takes a toll: summer UV degrades plastic caps, and spring storms damage lightweight flapper-style covers. We stock and install caps from Honeywell and Aprilaire designed for your specific vent type, with proper backdraft dampers that close when the dryer is not running. Like every CleanRun service, the replacement is photographed before and after, with a written price agreed in advance.

Brands We Service for Dryer Vent Cleaning
We’ve serviced and cleaned venting systems connected to dryers from every major manufacturer in Dallas homes. For Whirlpool and Maytag units, which represent a significant share of installations in neighborhoods like Frisco and McKinney, we stock OEM transition hoses and termination kits that match factory specifications. LG and Samsung vent configurations, common in newer Dallas builds, often require specialized adapters due to their unique exhaust port geometries; our crews carry these on every truck. We’ve also worked extensively with Bosch, GE, Speed Queen, and Electrolux systems, documenting the specific vent dimensions and clearances each requires.
Whether your dryer is a premium Miele installation in a Highland Park renovation or a standard builder-grade unit in a Rowlett subdivision, we can service the venting that supports it. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman tools, all named so you can verify their specifications independently. The brand of your dryer does not restrict our ability to clean, inspect, or repair its vent pathway.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning Right Now
- Clothes take more than one cycle to dry. This is the most common symptom Dallas homeowners report, and it indicates restricted airflow that forces your dryer to work harder while delivering poorer results. In homes near White Rock Lake and the Trinity River corridor, where humidity already extends dry times, a clogged vent can add 30-40 minutes per load.
- The dryer exterior or laundry room feels unusually hot during operation. Excess heat means your dryer’s exhaust is not escaping efficiently; instead, it’s radiating back into the appliance and the surrounding space. This accelerates wear on heating elements and creates a measurable fire risk that a borescope inspection can quantify.
- You smell burning or musty odors from the dryer or vent area. A burning odor typically indicates lint contacting the heating element or electrical components; mustiness suggests moisture trapped in a restricted vent, which promotes microbial growth in the duct material. Both conditions warrant immediate inspection.
- Visible lint accumulates around the exterior vent termination. If lint is escaping at the cap, it’s because the duct is too full to carry it further, or the cap is damaged. In Dallas neighborhoods with mature trees, we also see exterior lint combined with leaf debris that compounds the blockage.
- It’s been more than 12 months since your last professional cleaning. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection and cleaning of dryer vents; for households with heavy laundry loads, pet hair, or multiple residents, every 6-8 months is prudent. Your documented photo record from CleanRun includes a date stamp so you know exactly when service is due.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process - Step by Step
- 1
Arrival and system assessment. Your technician introduces themselves by name, confirms the written scope, and inspects your dryer’s current installation: transition hose type, vent path, and exterior termination. We photograph the setup as-found for your record.
- 2
Borescope camera inspection. We feed a lighted camera through the full duct run to identify lint depth, structural damage, improper slope, or pest intrusion. You see what we see on a handheld display, and these images become the “before” portion of your documented photo record.
- 3
Mechanical cleaning with negative-pressure extraction. Using equipment from Nikro or Abatement Technologies matched to your vent’s specifications, we dislodge and remove all lint and debris. The sealed suction system contains particulates; nothing is blown into your laundry space or attic.
- 4
Post-cleaning verification and airflow test. The borescope goes back in to confirm the duct is clear from dryer to termination. We measure airflow at the exterior cap to verify it meets manufacturer specifications for your dryer’s capacity.
- 5
Documentation delivery and written guarantee. You receive your complete photo record, including before images, after images, and airflow measurements, along with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Payment is processed only after you’ve reviewed and approved the documentation.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Dallas?
A standard Dryer Vent Cleaning cost guide shows Dallas runs $149-$189 for a single-family home with a vent length of 15-25 feet, accessible termination, and no structural modifications needed. Homes in neighborhoods like Preston Hollow or Lakewood with longer vent runs (30-50 feet through finished attics or crawl spaces) typically fall in the $210-$289 range due to additional access requirements and extended cleaning time. Vent rerouting, when necessary, is quoted as a separate scope with its own written price, usually $340-$580 depending on materials and labor hours.
Several factors affect where your job falls in these ranges. Vent length and number of elbows increase cleaning time and equipment needs. Accessibility matters: a termination on a second-story exterior wall requires different setup than a ground-level cap. The degree of restriction affects how long mechanical cleaning takes; a lightly used vent with annual maintenance cleans faster than one clogged with years of compacted lint and bird nesting. We assess all of this during your free estimate, with no charge for the visit and no obligation to book.
How to avoid overpaying: be wary of any quote that seems designed to get a van in your driveway rather than describe actual work. The $79 coupon model common in Dallas typically covers a cursory vacuuming of the transition hose only, not the full duct run. Ask specifically whether the price includes borescope inspection, full-length cleaning, photo documentation, and airflow verification. At CleanRun, every one of those elements is standard, and the written price you receive before work starts is the price you pay.
What’s included in your free estimate: a technician arrives at your scheduled time, inspects your vent system with a borescope, explains what they found in plain language, and delivers a written price for the recommended scope. You can accept it on the spot, schedule for later, or decline with no charge. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate from another company; bring their quote and we’ll put our number next to it, also in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dallas
Dryer vent cleaning is the complete mechanical removal of lint, debris, and obstructions from the exhaust pathway that carries hot air and moisture from your dryer to the outside of your home. It matters because restricted airflow forces your dryer to run longer, wear faster, and operate at temperatures that can ignite accumulated lint; the U.S. Fire Administration reports approximately 2,900 residential dryer fires annually, with failure to clean as the leading factor. CleanRun performs this service with documented photo verification of the full duct run, not just the accessible portions.
A standard dryer vent cleaning takes 60-90 minutes from technician arrival to final documentation delivery, including the borescope inspection, mechanical cleaning, airflow verification, and photo record compilation. Complex jobs involving vent rerouting, multiple story access, or severe restriction may extend to 2-3 hours; your written price accounts for this before work begins. Call (469) 405-6133 for an exact time estimate based on your specific installation.
Most Dallas homeowners pay $149-$189 for standard dryer vent cleaning, with longer or more complex installations ranging to $289; vent rerouting, when needed, typically runs $340-$580. Your exact price depends on vent length, accessibility, degree of restriction, and any additional services like bird guard or cap replacement. CleanRun provides a free written estimate with no obligation to book, and we honor our Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written quote.
Yes. We clean the venting system, not the dryer’s internal components, so brand is rarely a limiting factor; we’ve serviced venting connected to Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, Bosch, GE, Speed Queen, Electrolux, Miele, and every other major manufacturer in Dallas homes. Our crews carry adapters for non-standard exhaust port configurations common in European and premium brands. If your vent path is structurally sound, we can clean it regardless of dryer make.
We do not advertise emergency or same-day dispatch for dryer vent cleaning because this is a scheduled maintenance service, not an emergency response category. However, we maintain flexible scheduling and can often accommodate urgent requests within 24-48 hours when safety concerns are present, such as confirmed burning odors or complete airflow blockage. All calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, who can assess your situation and schedule appropriately; call (469) 405-6133 to discuss timing.
Every dryer vent cleaning is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right, CleanRun makes it right, documented in writing on every job record, not subject to manager approval or discretionary policy. Haven Standard Clause 4 governs this guarantee specifically. Additionally, your documented photo record serves as permanent proof of the work performed and the condition of your vent at service completion.
Clear a path to your dryer and ensure the appliance is cool from recent use, not hot; remove items from the top and front of the unit so the technician can access the transition hose and electrical connection. If your dryer is in a tight closet, removing nearby storage items speeds the setup process. You do not need to move the dryer yourself; our crews handle repositioning as part of standard service. The technician will confirm these details when calling before arrival.
