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.

Call (737) 252-1285 for a free estimate with no obligation.
We’ve been dispatching crews to Lago Vista from our Austin office since 2013, and we know the local housing stock well: the original 1960s lake cabins off Lohmans Crossing Road, the custom builds on the steep limestone lots above Lake Travis, and the newer exurb homes in developments like Highland Lake Estates and The Hollows. The terrain here creates specific dryer vent problems you won’t find in flatter suburbs. Hot attics, long runs through cedar-covered hills, and the vacation-home cycle of sitting empty then running hard all produce lint blockages and flex-duct failures that need more than a shop-vac and a coupon.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team arrives with professional-grade equipment - Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro negative-pressure extractors, and camera inspection tools - and every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander Is Lago Vista’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve served Lago Vista homeowners since 2013, and our reputation here is built on documentation, not promises. Every job starts with a written price and ends with before-and-after photos of the inside of your vent run. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every invoice - if the work is not right, we make it right.
Lago Vista customers specifically mention our photo records in reviews. They can see the 3-inch lint buildup at the crushed elbow, the sagging flex section in the attic, the difference between a vent that moves air and one that doesn’t. That evidence matters in a market flooded with $79 coupons that buy you 20 minutes of vacuum noise and no proof the blockage was removed.
Response time to Lago Vista is typically 3-5 business days for standard scheduling, with pre-holiday and pre-Memorial Day slots filling earlier due to the vacation-home pattern here. We coordinate dispatch from our Austin office, and crews carry common vent cap sizes, bird guard models, and smooth metal duct sections sized for the longer runs typical in Lago Vista’s hillside homes.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Lago Vista
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Lago Vista job starts with a camera inspection of the full vent run, from the dryer’s transition duct to the exterior termination. In homes above Lake Travis - particularly the 2000s-2020s builds on steep lots in The Hollows and Highland Lake Estates - we regularly find crushed elbows, sagging flex sections, and lint baked onto duct walls from attic temperatures exceeding 140°F. The camera shows you exactly what we found before we quote a price. Haven Standard Clause 1: Written Price Before Any Work Starts. No exceptions.
Vent Cleaning
We use Rotobrush agitation tools with Nikro negative-pressure extraction (HEPA-filtered vacuum collection that pulls dislodged debris out of the duct without releasing it into your home) to remove lint buildup from the full length of the run. For Lago Vista’s longer multi-elbow systems, this matters - a shop-vac at the vent cap only cleans the last 3 feet. We’ve cleaned vent runs over 35 feet through hot attics in lakeside homes where the builder used foil flex instead of smooth metal, and the agitation tools are the only way to reach packed lint at the low spots where sagging flex collects debris.
Lint Removal
Lint in Lago Vista vents is often more than just dryer fibers. The cedar pollen season here - December through February - produces some of the densest allergen loads in the United States, and that pollen draws moisture, packs densely, and bakes onto duct walls in hot attic runs. We remove the full blockage, not just the loose material. After cleaning, we photograph the cleared run so you can verify the work. The photo record is included as a standard deliverable on every visit, a practice we’ve held since our first job in 2013.
Vent Rerouting
Many Lago Vista homes, especially the custom builds from the 2000s-2020s boom, have dryer vents routed through attics with multiple elbows and excessive flex duct. The steep limestone lots make direct exterior termination difficult, so builders often took the path of least resistance. We reroute with smooth metal duct where possible, reducing elbows and eliminating sag points. This is permanent infrastructure work - it changes how your vent performs for the life of the home - and we quote it with a written scope and price before touching a single section.
Bird Guard Installation
Lago Vista’s cedar-covered hills attract nesting birds, and an unprotected vent cap is an invitation. We install Guardsman bird guards (stainless steel, no mesh that clogs with lint) at the exterior termination to prevent nesting while maintaining airflow. This is standard on most reroutes and recommended on any roof-terminated or wall-terminated vent in the Hill Country.
Vent Cap Replacement
Broken flappers, missing screens, and UV-degraded plastic caps are common on Lago Vista homes where the vent termination faces afternoon sun. We stock replacement caps sized for the longer runs and higher static pressures typical here, and we verify proper operation before leaving.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Lago Vista Homes
- Vacation-home lint baking. Lago Vista properties sit empty for weeks, then get run hard when owners arrive for December holidays or Memorial Day weekend. Lint bakes onto the inside of the vent run during those peak-use bursts, and a quick trap clean misses the real blockage. We find packed lint pathways in homes that “just had the trap cleaned.”
- Hot attic flex-duct failure. Attic runs on steep cedar-covered limestone lots regularly exceed 140°F in summer. That heat breaks down flex-duct insulation and adhesive seams, letting cedar debris and rodent nesting material pack into the lint pathway. The camera shows the breach; the photo record documents the repair.
- Long multi-elbow runs with sagging foil flex. Many 2000s-2020s exurb homes here have 25- to 35-foot vent runs through hot attics with three or more elbows. Builders often used foil flex instead of smooth metal. That sagging flex creates low spots where lint and moisture collect into dense blockages that restrict airflow by 60% or more.
- Roof-terminated vents with crushed or disconnected boots. The hillside architecture in Lago Vista pushes many vents through the roof, and the flexible boot at the roof penetration degrades in attic heat. We find disconnected boots dumping lint into the attic space, creating fire risk and indoor air quality problems.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lago Vista, TX
A standard single-system dryer vent cleaning in Lago Vista runs $180-$240. Homes with two dryers or longer multi-elbow runs through attics typically fall in the $260-$340 range. Vent rerouting with smooth metal duct replacement, bird guard installation, or roof-boot repair adds $140-$280 depending on materials and access difficulty. Multi-system vacation homes with three or more dryers - common in the larger lake houses off Lohmans Crossing Road and in The Hollows - are quoted per system with a whole-property discount, typically $320-$580 total.
What affects cost: length of the vent run, number of elbows, accessibility (crawl space vs. walkable attic), whether rerouting or repair is needed, and whether the vent terminates at the wall, soffit, or roof. Every price is written and agreed before work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons after the truck arrives.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lago Vista
Every 12-18 months for a vacation home that sits empty for weeks then runs hard during peak arrivals. The pre-arrival burst use in December and June packs lint densely, and hot attic runs bake it onto duct walls. Schedule before the cedar season or Memorial Day weekend. Call (737) 252-1285 to book a pre-arrival cleaning.
Restricted airflow from lint buildup in a long, multi-elbow vent run is the most common cause in Lago Vista homes. The hot attic degrades flex duct, creating sag points where lint collects, and vacation-home use patterns let that lint bake into dense blockages. A camera inspection shows exactly where the restriction is. Call (737) 252-1285 for a free inspection and written estimate.
Yes. The December-February cedar pollen season draws dense allergen loads into your home’s air system, and that pollen can enter the dryer vent intake or accumulate in compromised ductwork. While the primary dryer vent concern is lint blockage, the same hot attic conditions that degrade flex duct also let cedar debris and dust enter through seam failures. Cleaning removes the mixed debris and inspection identifies where the duct envelope is failing.
A technician arrives in uniform, identified by name, and begins with a camera inspection of the full vent run. You’ll see the blockage on screen before we quote a written price. After you approve, we clean with agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction, then photograph the cleared run. You receive the photo record as part of the standard job documentation. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies in writing. Most single-system jobs take 60-90 minutes.
Yes. Roof-terminated vents are common in Lago Vista due to steep lots and exterior design constraints. We access from the roof with proper fall protection, inspect and clean the full run, and verify the roof boot and flapper are intact. If the boot is degraded from attic heat, we quote replacement with a written price before proceeding. Call (737) 252-1285 to schedule.
We were called to a lakeside home off Lohmans Crossing Road where the homeowner complained that the dryer took two cycles to dry towels and the laundry room smelled like scorched dust. Our tech ran a camera inspection through the roof-terminated run, found a packed lint pathway past a crushed elbow, and used agitation tools with negative pressure to pull the debris into HEPA filtration. After rerouting the flex section with smooth metal duct and installing a Guardsman bird guard, the homeowner’s dryer cycle dropped back to normal and the cedar-season dust load at the vent cap was gone.
Lago Vista’s vacation-home rhythm means dryer vent cleaning requests spike just before the December cedar season and Memorial Day weekend, because homes that sit unoccupied for weeks get run hard exactly when cedar pollen and summer heat peak. The steep limestone lots here also push many dryer vents through hot attics where flex duct can sag and lint can bake onto the wall of the run. This isn’t a generic annual chore in Lago Vista - it’s a pre-arrival task tied to a specific local use pattern, and the documentation matters because you weren’t there to see what accumulated while the house sat empty.
