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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander Is Leander’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Texas homeowners since 2013, and Leander’s rapid growth has put us inside more of its homes than most independent operators in Williamson County. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team has documented photo records from over 52,000 jobs, every one with a written price agreed before the first panel came off.
Leander customers find us because our reputation travels by what we leave behind: a photo record of every duct run, a written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing on every job. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and we identify them by name before they arrive at your door. No exceptions.
Scheduling is coordinated from our Austin office, but our crews live and work in the Leander area, which means we understand the difference between a 2019 D.R. Horton build in Bryson and a rural property off Bagdad Road with a 300-foot service drive. That local knowledge changes what we bring and what we expect to find.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Leander
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every job we do in Leander starts with a camera inspection of the full vent run, from the dryer’s transition duct to the exterior termination. In the rural fringe along CR 279 and CR 280, we regularly find flexible duct crushed behind the dryer or sagging runs that trap lint where the homeowner can’t see it. The camera shows us exactly what’s there: a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, a split flex liner in a 140°F attic, or a vent cap stuck open by cedar pollen and caliche dust. We deliver that footage as part of your documented photo record, included standard on every visit.
Vent Cleaning
Our source removal process uses negative-pressure extraction (a sealed vacuum system that pulls debris out rather than blowing it through your home) combined with mechanical agitation tools that break lint mats free from duct walls. In Leander’s 2005-2022 builder-grade homes, we frequently find lint baked onto flex duct liner by attic temperatures that exceed 140°F for months each summer. Standard trap cleaning and a shop vac won’t touch it. We use professional-grade equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies to remove the material completely, then photograph the cleared run before we close up.
Lint Removal
Lint accumulation in Leander happens faster than the national 12-18 month recommendation suggests, especially in rural properties near open land or unpaved roads. Fine alkaline caliche dust from Williamson County’s limestone soil mixes with lint and, during December through February, with Ashe juniper pollen to form dense mats that restrict airflow and create fire risk. We remove this material with HEPA-filtered containment, so nothing recirculates into your home. The photo record shows the volume and composition of what came out, not just our word that it was dirty.
Bird Guard Installation
Leander’s mix of open Hill Country land and newer construction means birds and small animals frequently nest in unprotected vent terminations. We install Guardsman vent caps with integrated bird guards on properties from Travisso to the rural stretches near San Gabriel Parkway, using hardware rated for Central Texas wind and temperature extremes. The guard allows proper exhaust airflow while blocking entry. We photograph the installation and include it in your job record.
Vent Rerouting
When a dryer vent run was poorly designed from the start, cleaning alone won’t solve the problem. We reroute rigid duct to eliminate sag points, reduce elbows, and shorten the overall run where possible. In Leander’s production-built homes, we often find vent runs that exceed 25 feet with multiple turns, or flexible transition ducts crushed against the wall by the dryer’s position. Our rerouting work is photographed before and after, with a written scope under Haven Standard Clause 1: Written Price Before Work Starts.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Leander
We carry professional-grade equipment from Honeywell, Nikro, and Guardsman on every Leander job, and we stock common vent caps, bird guards, and rigid duct fittings for fast turnaround when a replacement is needed. These are trade-recognized brands you can look up independently, not proprietary tools with unverifiable claims. Our technicians train on manufacturer specifications for each piece of equipment, and we maintain that gear to those same standards. If your Leander home has a specific vent configuration or appliance brand, we match our approach to what’s actually installed, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Leander Homes
- Rural properties on unpaved or graded roads pull fine alkaline caliche dust and juniper pollen through the exterior vent termination. This material combines with lint to form dense mats that standard trap cleaning never reaches. We find these mats packed 14 feet into the run on properties off CR 279, where the vent exits near open ground and the same December-February cedar pollen that triggers allergies also clogs the exhaust pathway.
- Outbuilding dryer setups on longer service drives often use undersized flex duct with multiple elbows. The airflow restriction causes lint accumulation that surface cleaning misses entirely. Our camera inspection identifies these configurations before we quote, and our agitation tools reach what a basic vent brush cannot.
- Builder-grade homes from 2005-2022 frequently route dryer vents through unconditioned attic space. In Leander, those attic spaces hit 140-150°F for months each summer, baking lint onto flex duct liner and accelerating material degradation. The result is a fire hazard that looks clean from the laundry room.
- Mountain Cedar pollen season delivers one of the densest biological loads in North America. From December through February, Leander’s Ashe juniper belt releases pollen that enters dryer vents through stuck or missing caps, compounding lint buildup and creating musty backdraft smells that homeowners notice before they see a problem.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Leander
Every 8-12 months, not the standard 12-18 month recommendation. The combination of caliche dust from unpaved roads, Ashe juniper pollen from December through February, and longer service drives that delay service calls means lint mats form faster in rural Leander than in master-planned subdivisions like Crystal Falls or Travisso. Properties with propane or wood heat also see more variable humidity that affects lint adhesion. Call (737) 252-1285 and we’ll put a written maintenance interval in your job record based on what we actually find.
Because “new” in Leander often means construction debris was locked inside from day one. Production builders installed flex ductwork before drywall was finished and left vents unsealed, trapping caliche dust and drywall particulate. In active-phase subdivisions like Bryson’s newer sections, we’ve found ducts in 2-3 year old homes already coated with fine white caliche dust blown from adjacent graded lots. The 140-150°F attic heat then bakes that material onto duct walls. A camera inspection shows you exactly what’s there, and we deliver the footage as part of your documented photo record.
Yes. We regularly service rural Leander properties where the vent terminates near barns, workshops, or open Hill Country land. These setups require longer hoses, portable negative-pressure units, and HEPA containment to prevent dust recirculation near the structure. We bring the right equipment for the access challenge and photograph the full run, including the exterior termination, as part of your standard job record. The written price accounts for access time before we start.
Leander sits in the densest Ashe juniper belt in North America, and pollen counts during this period are among the highest recorded anywhere. When vent caps are stuck open, missing, or poorly sealed, cedar pollen enters the exhaust pathway and combines with lint and caliche dust to form dense, mat-like blockages. We find these in rural properties along CR 279 and CR 280 where the vent termination sits near open ground with no windbreak. A Guardsman vent cap with bird guard installed by our crew blocks pollen entry while maintaining proper airflow.
Camera inspection of the full run from dryer to termination, source removal with negative-pressure extraction and mechanical agitation, HEPA-filtered containment, airflow verification after cleaning, and a Documented Photo Record of before-and-after conditions delivered to you as a standard deliverable. If we find crushed flex duct, sagging runs, or missing hardware, we quote rerouting or replacement in writing before proceeding. Every job ends with the 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing.
