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.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Brushy Creek
Dryer vent cleaning in Brushy Creek typically runs $180-$340 for a standard single-family home, and every job starts with a camera inspection so you see what we’re seeing before any work begins. We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning team at CleanRun, and we’ve been driving out to Brushy Creek from our Austin office since we started taking calls here in 2013. Crews are usually on-site within a day or two, and we carry the full equipment roster - Nikro negative-pressure extractors, Rotobrush agitation tools, and Honeywell HEPA filtration - so we’re not making a second trip for parts. Call (737) 252-1285 and a live person will pick up, 24/7.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander Is Brushy Creek’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Brushy Creek one documented job at a time. Homeowners here tend to research before they call - they want written prices, verifiable credentials, and proof the work happened. That’s exactly what we deliver.
Our reviews from Brushy Creek customers consistently mention two things: the photo record showing what came out of their vents, and the written price that didn’t change once the crew arrived. No one likes a van-pull-up surprise.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Austin office, but crews serve Brushy Creek locally and know the area - from the older sections near Brushy Creek Road to the newer builds off Parmer Lane. We’re familiar with the 1990s-2000s housing stock, the overheated attics, and the cedar pollen load that makes vent work here specific to this corridor.
Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews means every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. Tomas Reyes established that protocol in 2013 and it’s never been optional.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Brushy Creek

Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Brushy Creek job starts here. We run a camera through the full vent run - from the back of your dryer to the exterior cap - because what you can’t see in a Brushy Creek attic is usually what matters. The 1990s-2000s builder-grade flex duct common in this area was run through unconditioned attics that hit 130-150°F each summer, so dryer vents in these homes often share the same overheated chase and suffer crushed, kinked runs that only show up on camera inspection. That attic heat profile - and the cedar pollen load that follows it - is what makes vent work here different from newer Austin builds with conditioned or ventilated utility spaces. The inspection includes a written scope and price before any cleaning begins. Haven Standard Clause 1: Written Price Before Work Starts.

Vent Cleaning
We use agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction (a vacuum system that pulls debris out under suction, rather than blowing it around your laundry room) to clear lint pathways without dislodging material into your home. In Brushy Creek, we’re often pulling out compacted lint mixed with fine cedar pollen residue - the yellow-green coating that bypasses clogged filters during January cedar season. The work concludes with a Documented Photo Record of every section cleaned, delivered as part of your standard job record. That’s been our practice since 2013.

Lint Removal
Lint buildup in Brushy Creek homes isn’t just in the obvious places. We regularly find hidden accumulation behind the dryer and inside wall cavities, masked by cedar pollen residue that coats the vent cap and makes homeowners think the filter is doing its job. The camera shows the truth: a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, or a packed transition duct that’s been reducing airflow for years. We remove it completely, photograph the result, and show you the difference between what was there and what’s left.

Vent Rerouting
Some Brushy Creek homes have dryer vent runs that were never optimal - too long, too many turns, or routed through that overheated attic chase where summer heat and winter cold create expansion-contraction cycles that loosen joints. When the camera shows a run that can’t be cleaned effectively or safely due to design, we’ll reroute using solid metal duct where code allows, with proper slope and support. The new run gets the same photo documentation as a cleaning job.

Vent Cap Replacement
Brushy Creek’s cedar season hits vent caps hard. We replace damaged or inadequate caps with proper models that include functioning dampers and, where requested, bird guards. The caps we install are rated for the pollen and debris load this area sees, and we photograph the before and after as part of your job record.

Bird Guard Installation
We were called to a two-story home off Avery Ranch Boulevard after the homeowner noticed the dryer taking two cycles to dry a load; our tech ran a camera inspection and found the original builder-grade flex run crushed behind the attic air handler, packed with compacted lint and cedar pollen debris. Using agitation tools and negative pressure with HEPA filtration, we pulled the lint pathway clear, replaced the crushed section, and installed a new vent cap with a bird guard. The dryer cycle time dropped back to normal that same afternoon. Bird guards are standard on our cap replacements in Brushy Creek because the area’s mature trees and greenbelts attract nesting birds that can block vents entirely.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Brushy Creek Homes

- Crushed or disconnected flex duct runs behind the attic air handler. Common in Brushy Creek’s 1990s-2000s builder-grade installs where the dryer vent shares the same overheated chase as the HVAC runs. The camera finds these; the homeowner rarely knows until we show them.
- Lint buildup hidden behind the dryer and inside the wall cavity. Masked by cedar pollen residue that coats the vent cap and makes homeowners think the filter is doing its job. The real blockage is often two feet inside the wall where the transition duct connects.
- Vent caps clogged with cedar pollen and nesting debris during January cedar season. This causes backdrafts that push lint and moisture back into the laundry room. We see this annually in Brushy Creek, and it’s why we check the cap on every inspection.
- Original builder-grade flex duct degraded by a decade-plus of 130-150°F attic heat. The material becomes brittle, develops micro-tears, and separates at joints - creating interior surfaces that trap lint and restrict airflow even when the visible sections look clear.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brushy Creek, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Brushy Creek runs $180-$240 for a single-story home with accessible exterior cap and straight run under 15 feet.

Vent cap replacement with bird guard installation adds $85-$140 depending on roof access and cap type.
What moves the number: length of run, number of turns, accessibility (crawl space vs. accessible attic), whether the run is solid metal or degraded flex, and whether we find crushed sections requiring replacement.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brushy Creek

The January cedar season coats vent caps with fine pollen debris that restricts airflow, and colder outside air creates more condensation inside the vent run, causing lint to clump and stick. We see this every winter in Brushy Creek homes. Call (737) 252-1285 for an inspection - estimates are free.
Every 12-18 months for homes with original builder-grade flex duct, and annually if you dry heavy loads frequently or have pets that contribute additional lint and dander. The degraded duct liner in Brushy Creek’s 1990s-2000s stock traps material more aggressively than newer solid-metal runs. Call (737) 252-1285 to schedule.
Yes, and we recommend it. The camera inspection for your HVAC ductwork and dryer vent can be combined in one visit, with one written price covering both systems. Many Brushy Creek homeowners schedule them together to avoid a second trip charge. Call (737) 252-1285 for a combined quote.
It looks like a flattened or kinked flex duct section, often behind the air handler where the HVAC chase narrows, with visible lint packed into the crease and sometimes cedar pollen staining on the exterior. Our camera shows this clearly - the image goes into your photo record. Call (737) 252-1285 if your dryer’s taking longer than it used to.
Yes, we install both as part of our standard service offering. Every cap replacement includes a functioning damper and optional bird guard rated for the debris load this area sees. The work is photographed and covered under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (737) 252-1285 to book.
