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.

What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service Includes
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every job starts with a full visual and camera Dryer Vent Inspection of the vent run - the path from your dryer’s exhaust port to the exterior termination cap. In Leander’s newer subdivisions like Travisso and Crystal Falls, we regularly find improper initial installations: too many elbows, runs exceeding 25 feet without a booster fan, or flexible foil transition ducts crammed behind units where they kink and trap lint. Our technician runs a borescope camera through the entire line, and you’ll see what we see before we quote any work. The inspection itself is included in the service price, not billed separately.
Vent Cleaning
This is the core Vent Cleaning service: mechanical removal of lint accumulation from the full length of the vent run using professional-grade equipment. We use Rotobrush and Nikro systems - negative-pressure extraction tools that agitate debris while simultaneously pulling it out of the line, so nothing blows back into your laundry room. In Leander’s older homes near Bagdad Road and the original downtown corridor, we’ve found vent runs packed with years of compacted lint that a shop vacuum simply cannot dislodge. The difference between a cleaned vent and a partially cleared one shows up in your dryer’s cycle time and your electric bill.
Lint Removal
Lint removal addresses the material that escapes the dryer’s lint trap and builds up in the transition duct, elbows, and vertical risers. This isn’t surface dust - it’s a dense, highly flammable mat that reduces airflow and forces your dryer to run hotter and longer. In Leander’s hard water areas, lint often binds with mineral residue from evaporated moisture, forming almost cement-like blockages at the first elbow. We remove this mechanically, then verify airflow with an anemometer - a device that measures cubic feet per minute - to confirm the vent performs to manufacturer specification before we leave.
Vent Rerouting
Sometimes the vent run itself is the problem. If your dryer was relocated during a renovation, or if the original builder routed the vent through an unconditioned attic space in Leander’s summer heat, condensation and lint accumulation accelerate dramatically. Rerouting means designing a new, shorter, straighter path to the exterior, using rigid metal ducting rather than flexible material. We quote this in writing before cutting anything, and we photograph the existing routing so you can see why the change is necessary. All rerouting work complies with IRC Section M1502 and local amendments adopted by the City of Leander.
Bird Guard Installation
The exterior vent termination is an entry point for birds, rodents, and wasps - especially in Leander’s hill country interface zones where new construction pushes against undeveloped land. A bird guard is a metal or UV-resistant plastic screen that covers the vent cap without restricting airflow. We measure your termination style and install a guard rated for your vent diameter and CFM requirements. This is a small addition that prevents large problems: a blocked vent from a nest can force carbon monoxide back into the home on gas dryers, or create the exact fire hazard you’re trying to avoid.
Vent Cap Replacement
Vent caps degrade. The flapper sticks open, inviting pests and conditioned air loss; or sticks shut, trapping moisture and lint. In Leander’s intense sun exposure, plastic caps become brittle in 3-5 years. We stock and install metal caps with magnetic or gravity-operated dampers that close positively when the dryer cycles off. Like every other component we touch, the cap is photographed before and after, and the replacement price is written on your estimate before installation begins.

Brands We Service for Dryer Vent Cleaning
We’ve cleaned and inspected vent systems connected to every major dryer manufacturer installed in Leander homes. For Whirlpool and Maytag units - which dominate the 2015-2020 build years in neighborhoods like Bryson and Bar W Ranch - we’ve serviced hundreds of installations and stock common replacement transition ducts and elbows that match their rear-exhaust configurations. LG and Samsung vent systems, common in newer construction and owner upgrades, often feature compact duct adapters that require specific clearances; we carry the fittings and document the installation geometry so warranty coverage isn’t compromised by improper venting.
Whether you have a basic builder-grade dryer or a premium heat-pump model, the vent system itself operates on the same physics: hot, moist air needs an unobstructed path out of the house. We clean and verify vent performance for all makes. If your vent system needs repair or modification beyond cleaning, we quote that in writing before proceeding - no exceptions.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning Right Now
- Your dryer needs two cycles to dry a normal load. This is the most common symptom we hear from Leander homeowners, and it almost always indicates restricted airflow from lint accumulation. A dryer that can’t exhaust moist air efficiently keeps running, wasting electricity and accelerating wear on heating elements and drum seals.
- The laundry room feels unusually humid or smells like burning lint. That odor is lint overheating somewhere in the vent run, often at a blockage point or where the transition duct has disconnected slightly. In Leander’s summer heat, this condition worsens dramatically because the vent system’s temperature differential with ambient air is smaller, reducing natural convection.
- Visible lint collects around the exterior vent cap or the indoor transition duct. If lint is escaping the system, air is escaping with it - or the vent is so blocked that pressure is forcing lint backward. Either way, the system isn’t containing and exhausting debris as designed.
- The dryer exterior or clothes are too hot to touch at cycle end. Manufacturers design dryers to reach specific surface temperatures; exceeding them indicates the heating element is cycling longer than intended because exhaust airflow is insufficient. This stresses thermal fuses and creates genuine fire risk.
- It’s been over a year since the last cleaning, and you run 4+ loads weekly. The NFPA recommends annual inspection and cleaning for typical residential use. In Leander’s new construction with larger homes and bigger households, we see many clients who exceed that laundry volume and benefit from more frequent service.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process - Step by Step
- 1
Arrival and protection. Our technician arrives in a marked vehicle, introduces themselves by name, and lays protective covering from the entry to your laundry area. Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews means you’ll know who’s in your home.
- 2
Inspection with camera documentation. We disconnect the transition duct, insert a borescope camera, and record the condition of the full vent run - including elbows, vertical risers, and the termination cap. You see this footage before we quote any work. This is the first half of your Documented Photo Record.
- 3
Written price delivered. Based on what the camera showed, we provide a single, flat price for the cleaning. No per-foot add-ons, no “it depends on what we find” language. Haven Standard Clause 1: written price before any work starts, every time. You approve it in writing, or we leave - no charge for the inspection.
- 4
Mechanical cleaning and airflow verification. Using Rotobrush or Nikro negative-pressure extraction equipment, we clean the full vent run. We then measure exhaust airflow with an anemometer and compare it to your dryer’s manufacturer specification. The vent doesn’t pass until it meets or exceeds that number.
- 5
Reassembly, final documentation, and deliverables. We reconnect everything, test the dryer on a heated cycle, and capture after-cleaning photos of the vent interior. You receive the complete photo record, the written scope of work, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise - all before we leave. If anything isn’t right, we make it right.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Leander?
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Leander runs $150-$220 for a single-story home (see our Dryer Vent Cleaning cost guide) with a straight vent run of 15 feet or less. Two-story homes with vertical risers, or runs with multiple elbows, typically fall in the $200-$280 range because the cleaning time and equipment setup increase. Vent rerouting, if needed, starts at $350 and is quoted separately after inspection.
Several factors move the price within these ranges. The length and complexity of the vent run matters most: a straight shot through an exterior wall is quick; a run up through an attic to a roof termination takes longer and requires additional safety equipment. The degree of blockage affects time on site - we’ve extracted enough lint from neglected vents to fill a five-gallon bucket, and that level of accumulation requires more passes with the extraction tool. Accessibility of the laundry area and exterior termination also play a role; cramped closets or steep roof pitches add time.
What you won’t see on our estimates: per-vent pricing (dryers have one vent), teaser rates that balloon on arrival, or “service fees” that appear after you’ve agreed. Our price is flat per system, agreed in writing, and includes the inspection, cleaning, airflow verification, photo documentation, and warranty. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, bring it - Haven Standard Clause 7 is our Free Second Opinion, and we’ll put our number next to theirs with no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Leander
Dryer vent cleaning is the mechanical removal of lint and debris from the exhaust path between your dryer and the outside of your home.

CleanRun provides a written price before starting and photographs your vent before and after so you can see the difference. Call (737) 252-1285 for a free estimate.
