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 Calabasas
Dryer vent cleaning in Calabasas typically costs $149 – $279 for a standard single-family home and takes 60 – 90 minutes from setup to final camera verification. We work across the entire Calabasas area, from the gated communities off Mulholland Highway to the hillside homes along Las Virgenes Road, and we bring professional-grade equipment to every job. Omar Haddad leads our Calabasas team, and we’ve built our reputation on one thing: showing you exactly what’s in your vent before we start and exactly what’s gone when we finish. Call (737) 727-2314 for a flat per-system quote.
What makes Calabasas different from other cities we work in is the housing stock itself. Many homes here sit on hillsides or canyon lots where dryer vents run 20, 30, sometimes 40 feet through attic spaces and wall cavities before they reach the exterior. That’s a lot of concealed pipe where lint can pack in at every elbow and joint. A quick trap clean-out doesn’t touch that. Our job is to verify the entire lint pathway, not just the first three feet.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Calabasas’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Calabasas homeowners call us because we actually show up when we say we will and we show them proof of the work. Our booking system gives you a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard, so you’re not sitting at home guessing whether anyone’s coming. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and they carry commercial equipment: Rotobrush rotary agitation tools and Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuums that pull loosened lint straight out of the duct rather than blowing it back into your laundry room.
We’ve handled dryer vents in every part of Calabasas, from the newer builds near Calabasas Lake to the older hillside properties in Saratoga Hills and the custom homes along Piuma Road. What we’ve learned: no two vent runs are alike here. Some homes have short, direct exterior wall terminations. Others have vents that snake through the attic and exit through the roof, sometimes under or around solar panels. We inspect before we clean, every time. That’s non-negotiable for us.
Every job includes a written price before work begins, a written guarantee on any repair, and before-and-after photos of your own vent interior. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise. It’s not a marketing line; it’s the standard we’re held to as part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calabasas
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calabasas covers multi-unit laundry rooms, salon and spa towel services, fitness centers, and any business running one or more dryers daily. These systems carry far more lint volume than residential dryers, and the runs are longer, often rising through concealed shafts to rooftop terminations. A commercial dryer vent cleaning for a single dryer in Calabasas typically runs $249 – $449 depending on run length and access. Multi-dryer buildings are quoted per system before any work begins.
For Calabasas businesses, the stakes are operational. A restricted commercial vent slows drying times, drives up gas or electric costs, and in the worst case triggers the dryer’s high-limit safety switch, which shuts the machine down mid-cycle. That’s lost revenue for a salon or fitness center. We work around business hours to minimize disruption.
Multi-Unit and Property Management Work
We service apartment and condo buildings throughout Calabasas, including properties near The Commons and along Calabasas Road. Property managers appreciate that we provide written documentation for every vent cleaned: before-and-after photos, camera verification of clear airflow, and a digital invoice payable by link. That paperwork matters for liability and for tenant turnover inspections.
High-Volume Laundry Operations
Fitness centers, pet groomers, spas, and hospitality businesses in Calabasas run dryers continuously. We schedule recurring maintenance on a quarterly or semi-annual basis and keep records so you can show compliance with insurance requirements. A scheduled maintenance plan is cheaper than emergency repair work after a thermal event.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Calabasas
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Calabasas means a full-path cleaning of your dryer’s exhaust system, from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination hood. Our standard residential service in Calabasas runs $149 – $279 per system, and that price is set before we arrive. You’ll know the exact number before any equipment comes off the truck. We don’t charge per vent or per foot. One system, one flat price.
The process starts with a camera inspection. We disconnect the dryer, run a scope down the vent, and show you what we see on our tablet. Then we use Rotobrush agitation tools to break up caked lint, paired with a Nikro HEPA vacuum running negative-pressure extraction. That means the debris goes straight into the vacuum cannister, not into the air in your laundry room. We finish by re-scoping the vent to verify clearance and showing you the before-and-after photos side by side.
Long Vent Runs and Attic Pathways
Many Calabasas homes built into hillsides have vents that travel through the attic, sometimes branching through multiple elbows. Lint collects at every bend, and over years it can reduce airflow enough that your dryer works harder and runs longer. Our camera inspection pinpoints exactly where the blockage is, so we know where to focus the agitation and extraction. We don’t guess.
Weather and Lint in Calabasas
Calabasas sits in a wildfire-prone zone, and Santa Ana wind events push dry air through the canyons for days at a time. A clogged dryer vent isn’t just an efficiency issue here; it’s a legitimate fire hazard. Lint is highly combustible, and when a hot dryer exhausts into a lint-packed run, the combination is dangerous. This is the single most important reason we recommend camera verification after every cleaning in this area.
Trusted Brands We Service in Calabasas
We clean and service dryer vents on every major appliance brand, including LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, Electrolux, GE, and Speed Queen. Because Calabasas homes run the range from spec-built to custom, our vans carry the common fittings and replacement parts for most vent terminations and transition ducts. That means when we find a crushed or damaged transition hose during a cleaning, we usually have the right part on hand and can replace it on the spot. We also use Abatement Technologies containment units when we’re working in high-end Calabasas homes where dust control matters as much as the cleaning itself. The process stays clean, contained, and professional from start to finish.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Calabasas Homes
- Long concealed runs through hillside foundations: Homes built into slopes off Stunt Road or along Cold Canyon often route dryer vents through foundation walls or crawl spaces where the run can exceed 30 feet. Lint packs in at the low points and elbows, far beyond the reach of a homeowner’s brush kit.
- Roof terminations blocked by solar arrays: Thousands of Calabasas homes have solar panels on south-facing roof planes, which is also where many dryer vents terminate. Some crews skip the roof end entirely because access is awkward. We don’t skip it. We bring the right ladder setup and inspection gear to reach it safely.
- Older homes with original vent work: Calabasas has pockets of homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, particularly near Old Topanga Canyon Road, where original flexible duct has sagged or separated at the seams. Lint escapes into the wall cavity, which reduces airflow and creates a hidden fire hazard. Camera inspection catches this.
- Bird and rodent nests at the termination hood: The native oak and chaparral landscape around Calabasas means birds and small animals frequently build nests in dryer vent terminations. A blocked termination hood pushes lint back into the system and reduces airflow dramatically. We install bird guards when needed.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calabasas
If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load, the laundry room feels warmer than it should, or you notice a burning smell when the dryer runs, you likely have a restriction deeper in the vent run, not just in the lint trap. In Calabasas hillside homes with long concealed runs through attics or crawl spaces, the blockage is often 10 to 20 feet from the dryer itself. The only way to know for certain is a camera inspection. We perform that inspection as part of every visit and show you what we find before any cleaning begins. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection.
No. We charge one flat price per system, and that price is written and agreed before we start. The Calabasas market has contractors who quote low per-vent prices and then inflate the invoice once they’re on site by counting every elbow, joint, and transition. We don’t work that way. Your written quote covers the full lint pathway from dryer to exterior termination, including camera verification and before-and-after photos. One system, one price.
Yes. Every dryer vent cleaning in Calabasas includes camera documentation of the vent interior before we start and after we finish. You’ll see exactly what we saw: the lint accumulation, the condition of the duct, and the clear airflow at the end. This is part of The Relay Standard, the booking and documentation standard we follow as part of the Relay Home Co. family. If a contractor can’t show you photos of your own vent, ask yourself what they’re actually hiding.
For most Calabasas households, every 12 to 24 months is the honest answer. Homes with long runs through attics or wall cavities, or homes with pets and heavy dryer use, skew toward the 12-month end. A lightly used vacation home where the dryer runs once a week might go several years between cleanings. The camera inspection tells us the truth. We’ll tell you if your vent doesn’t need cleaning yet, even if that means we drive back without a job. Call (737) 727-2314 for an honest assessment.
Yes. Our Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning service covers Calabasas businesses including salons, fitness centers, pet groomers, multi-family laundry rooms, and hospitality operations. We schedule around your business hours, document every vent cleaned with photos and camera verification, and provide digital invoices payable by link. Multi-dryer facilities get a per-system written quote before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 to discuss your building’s layout and schedule.
