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 Belleair
Dryer vent cleaning in Belleair runs $149 – $289 for a standard single run, and that price includes a camera inspection, agitation cleaning, HEPA extraction, and a full exterior vent cap check. We know Belleair’s housing stock: older ranch homes and bungalows where dryer vents travel 15 to 25 feet behind walls, through re-roofed additions, and around screened Florida rooms. You’ll get one flat price agreed before any work starts, not a per-vent estimate that balloons once the tech is at your door. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll schedule you from the Miami office and dispatch a local Belleair crew.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Belleair’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Belleair homeowners call us because we run the same professional-grade setup on every job, whether it’s a small bungalow off Indian Rocks Road or a large estate near the Belleair Country Club. Our techs arrive in uniform, background-checked, and they carry Rotobrush agitation tools paired with Nikro HEPA vacuums. That’s the difference between a real cleaning and what some outfits do, which is vacuum the lint trap and call it done.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every job operates under The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photos of your actual vent, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Omar Haddad leads our team, and he’s the one who holds us to the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No fine print, no prorated coverage.
The response time to Belleair is typically next-day or within two business days for most scheduling requests, which lines up well for a town where nobody wants a dryer that takes three cycles to handle towels. We also stock common vent caps, flapper dampers, and bird guards for Belleair homes, so repairs don’t stall waiting on parts.
Dryer Vent Repair in Belleair
Dryer vent repair in Belleair usually happens when a homeowner notices dry times getting longer, a burning smell during a cycle, or an exterior flapper that won’t open. Those symptoms point to crushed runs, disconnected elbows, rusted vent caps, or lint packed behind a wall cavity where you can’t see it. The cost runs $120 – $340 depending on whether we’re replacing a vent cap, reconnecting a separated run, or rerouting a section that was crushed during a re-roof. Every repair comes with a written guarantee, and if that repair fails within 365 days, the second visit is free.
Camera Inspections Before Any Quote
Older Belleair homes hide surprises. Additions and screened enclosures mean vents take odd paths, and a run that looks fine from the dryer side can be completely separated behind a wall. We push a small inspection camera through the run before quoting repair work. That way we know exactly what’s wrong and you never pay for a guess.
Vent Rerouting and Bird Guard Work
When a vent was installed through a soffit or exits too close to a screened enclosure, lint can back up quickly. We reroute short sections where we can, and we install bird guards when a vent cap shows nesting activity. Squirrels and starlings love a warm dryer vent, and their nesting material is a fire load.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Belleair
Dryer vent cleaning company pricing in Belleair is all over the map, and that’s exactly why we publish our range: $149 – $289 for a standard single-run cleaning, with the price locked before we touch anything. What you’re actually paying for is the full lint pathway, not the lint trap. A Rotobrush agitation head loosens the packed debris inside the run, and a Nikro HEPA vacuum extracts it under negative pressure, meaning the lint goes into the machine, not into your laundry room. The whole job usually takes 45 to 90 minutes.
One Flat Price Per System
We do not charge per vent or per opening. In Belleair’s older homes, a dryer vent is a single continuous run from appliance to exterior wall. Charging per vent is a way to inflate an invoice. Our price is for the entire run, no matter how long it is or how many bends it has.
Photo Proof Before and After
You should never wonder whether the work was actually done. Our techs photograph the inside of your vent with the camera scope before we start and again after extraction. You’ll see your own lint gone from your own vent. That’s part of the Relay Visibility Guarantee and it’s standard on every job, not an upsell.
Trusted Brands We Service in Belleair
We service dryers from Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, GE, and Electrolux, and we stock the vent caps and bird guards those units commonly need for Belleair’s specific exterior conditions: salt air, high humidity, and frequent afternoon thunderstorms. On filtration and equipment, we run Nikro HEPA extraction systems, plus Honeywell filtration products and Aprilaire components where a home’s HVAC overlaps with the laundry space. We keep common parts on our trucks, so a vent cap replacement on a home near Belleview Boulevard doesn’t wait a week for shipping.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Belleair Homes
- Long, hidden vent runs behind re-roofed additions. Belleair homes built in the 1950s through 1970s have been added onto repeatedly, and each addition pushes the dryer run further from the exterior wall. Fifteen to twenty-five feet is normal here, and every extra foot holds more lint.
- Crushed or kinked flexible foil at bends. When a screened Florida room gets added, the vent often gets squeezed into a ribbed elbow behind the wall. That kink traps lint fast and goes unnoticed until the dryer stops drying.
- Exterior flappers jammed with lint and salt-air corrosion. Belleair sits on the Intracoastal, so metal vent caps corrode faster than inland. A flapper that won’t open is a lint trap and a direct pathway for humidity back into the wall cavity.
- Bird and squirrel nests in vent caps that don’t close. We pull nesting material out of Belleair vents year-round. Once it’s there, airflow drops and the risk climbs. A properly fitted bird guard stops it.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Belleair, FL
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Belleair runs $149 – $289 for a single run from appliance to exterior wall. That includes the camera inspection, agitation cleaning with Rotobrush, HEPA extraction, and a written report with your before-and-after photos. If your vent needs a cap replacement, bird guard, or a small repair, that’s quoted separately: caps run $40 – $90, bird guards $35 – $75, and vent rerouting or reconnection runs $120 – $340 depending on access. What changes the price most is run length and whether we need to cut an access panel in drywall or work from a ladder on a second-story exterior. We won’t quote you one number on the phone and another at your door. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you the written price before a single tool comes off the truck.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Belleair
One flat price per dryer vent system, not per vent or per opening. We quote the whole run from the dryer to the exterior wall, whether it’s 8 feet or 28 feet with three bends. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Most Belleair homes with longer vent runs should have a cleaning every 12 to 18 months. If your dryer takes two cycles to dry towels or the exterior flapper looks fuzzy, you’re overdue. Homes with short direct runs and newer dryers can sometimes go two years, but salt air and humidity in Belleair compact lint faster than inland.
Yes. Those are the most common configurations in Belleair’s older housing stock. We send a camera through the run first to map the path and spot crushed sections before we start. If access is tight behind a screen enclosure, we work from the exterior or a small interior access panel, and we quote that before cutting anything.
A camera inspection, then a Rotobrush agitation tool through the run to loosen packed lint, with a Nikro HEPA vacuum extracting everything under negative pressure. We finish by checking the exterior cap and flapper, and you get before-and-after photos of your own vent. Most jobs run 45 to 90 minutes.
No. Dryer vent cleaning focuses on the single exhaust run from your dryer to the outside, while air duct cleaning covers the HVAC supply and return ducts throughout the house. We do both, but they’re separate jobs with separate pricing. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you which one you actually need.
