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.

AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Lakeway
Dryer vent cleaning in Lakeway typically runs $189-$349 per vent system, with most homes needing two to three separate runs cleaned and documented. We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning crew that serves Lakeway from our Austin coordination office, and we know the difference between a quick vacuum pass and a job that actually moves the needle on your dryer’s cycle time. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written price before any work starts.
Lakeway’s homes aren’t standard. The custom builds off The Hills Parkway and Flintrock Falls often run 4,000-plus square feet with laundry rooms on separate wings, each with its own vent path to the roof or sidewall. The older Lakeway Drive corridor, where the original resort community took shape in the late 1960s and 1970s, hides original flexible duct behind limestone knee walls that has never seen a camera. We’ve cleaned both. We document both.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander Is Lakeway’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been in this trade since 2013, and Lakeway has been part of our route from the early years. The Hill Country terrain, the cedar canopy, the steep lots that force long vent runs - these aren’t abstract facts on a service page. They’re what our technicians encounter on Tuesday mornings in The Hills of Lakeway and Thursday afternoons near the original Lakeway Marina.
Our reputation here is built on what we can show, not what we say. Every job starts with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1. Every vent run gets photographed before and after with a borescope camera. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed on the invoice, not buried in a website footer. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and you’ll get the technician’s name before arrival.
We answer calls with a live person, 24/7. Scheduling is coordinated from our Austin office, but the truck that pulls into your Lakeway driveway is stocked for the specific conditions we find here: rigid pipe for rerouting collapsed flex duct, Guardsman vent caps for bird guard installation, and Nikro HEPA-collection equipment for safe lint removal.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Lakeway
Dryer Vent Inspection
A proper inspection in Lakeway starts with airflow measurement at the termination cap and a camera run through the full duct path. In the custom homes near The Hills of Lakeway and Flintrock Falls, we regularly find two or three separate dryer vent runs tied to different laundry or utility rooms, and a single-vent check can miss a secondary pathway that’s partially clogged. We treat each run as its own system with separate airflow readings and photo documentation. In the older Lakeway Drive corridor, our camera often reveals original 1970s flex duct that has kinked behind a limestone knee wall or partially collapsed after 40-plus years of heat cycling.
Vent Cleaning and Lint Removal
We use Rotobrush agitation tools with HEPA-negative-pressure collection to remove lint that has bonded to duct walls. This matters in Lakeway because Ashe juniper pollen and fine limestone construction dust, especially prevalent in original construction near Lakeway Drive, coat duct interiors and make lint adhere rather than blow through. A shop vac or rotary brush without source containment stirs that debris into your laundry room and misses the real blockage. Our process captures it. You’ll see the difference in the photo record.
Vent Rerouting
Lakeway’s steep Hill Country lots often force long horizontal runs or roof-jack terminations that exceed the dryer’s equivalent-length limit. When lint settles in a sagging section or a run has too many elbows, cleaning alone won’t fix the physics. We reroute with rigid metal pipe, reducing elbows where possible and ensuring the new path meets manufacturer airflow specs. This is common in multi-level homes near The Hills Parkway, where the original builder ran flex duct through unconditioned attic space that now sags between trusses.
Bird Guard Installation and Vent Cap Replacement
The cedar and live oak canopy around Lake Travis shelters birds, squirrels, and roof rats that treat uncovered vent terminations as ready-made nesting sites. We install Guardsman vent caps with integrated bird guards and replace deteriorated caps that no longer seal properly. A proper cap also blocks wind-driven rain, which is a real factor on Lakeway’s exposed ridges.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Lakeway
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro HEPA-collection negative-pressure machines, and Honeywell airflow measurement tools. We stock Guardsman vent caps and rigid pipe fittings for Lakeway jobs, which means most reroutes and cap replacements finish same visit without a parts run. You can verify each brand independently. We name them because Haven Standard Clause 1 requires transparency about what you’re paying for, and that includes the tools that show up at your door.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Lakeway Homes
- Multiple runs tied to one termination. Large Lakeway homes often have two dryers feeding one exterior cap through a wye fitting. The secondary run can be fully blocked while the primary still flows enough to mask the problem. We see this in The Hills of Lakeway and Flintrock Falls, where the primary laundry vents fine but the secondary utility room dryer overheats.
- Long runs exceeding manufacturer limits. Steep lots force 35-foot-plus horizontal runs or roof-jack paths with multiple elbows. Lint settles in the low points. The dryer labors. Cycle times stretch past an hour. We measure equivalent length against the manufacturer’s spec and reroute when cleaning won’t solve it.
- Cedar pollen and limestone dust bonding lint to duct walls. The Ashe juniper concentration around Lakeway is the densest in the country. That ultra-fine pollen infiltrates every opening, including dryer vents, and combines with construction dust from original builds to form a tacky layer that standard brushes skip right over.
- Collapsed original flex duct in Lakeway Drive corridor homes. The 1970s flex sections have softened, sagged, and in some cases kinked completely shut behind walls where homeowners never look. Our camera finds it. The photo record proves it. Then we fix it.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lakeway
Yes. Each vent run is a separate system with its own airflow path, lint load, and termination point. In Lakeway’s larger custom homes, we regularly find the secondary run completely blocked while the primary still functions, because the homeowner only monitors the main laundry room. We price per system, not per house, and we document each run separately. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written estimate on your specific configuration.
Ashe juniper pollen infiltrates vent terminations during December through February release events, coating duct interiors with ultra-fine particulate that traps lint against walls. This is more aggressive in Lakeway than in Austin proper or northern suburbs because of the dense cedar concentration around Lake Travis. A vent that flowed adequately in November can show 30% airflow loss by March. Post-cedar-season inspection is a practical maintenance step here, not a sales pitch.
Extended dry times almost always mean restricted airflow from lint buildup, a kinked duct section, or a run that exceeds the dryer’s equivalent-length rating. In Lakeway, the added factor is cedar pollen and limestone dust bonding lint to duct walls, plus long horizontal runs on steep lots that create natural settling points. We measure airflow at the termination and camera-inspect the full path to find the actual restriction, not just clean and hope. Call (737) 252-1285 for a diagnostic with documentation.
We follow NADCA guidelines for HVAC system cleaning and apply the same documentation and containment standards to dryer vent work. That means HEPA-negative-pressure collection during agitation, borescope photography before and after, and airflow measurement recorded on your job sheet. The H.A.V.E.N. Standard requires this documentation as a deliverable, not an option.
You should receive four items: a written invoice with the agreed price, borescope photos of every vent run before and after cleaning, airflow readings in CFM at each termination, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. This is standard on every CleanRun job, included in the base price. If a company won’t show you what they found and what they achieved with measured numbers, you’re paying for noise, not work.
We recently worked a 4,200 sq ft home off Lakeway Drive where the homeowner had already replaced the dryer twice because it kept overheating. Our tech ran a camera inspection through the roof-jack vent and found the original 1979 flexible duct kinked behind a limestone knee wall, packed with a decade of lint and Ashe juniper pollen. After source removal with agitation tools and rerouting the run with rigid pipe and a new Guardsman vent cap, the dryer cycled in 28 minutes instead of 70, and the homeowner finally had a clear before-and-after airflow report.
