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 Chamblee
Dryer vent cleaning in Chamblee typically costs $110 – $185 for a full system cleaning, and the work usually takes 45 – 75 minutes once our technician arrives. That price covers the entire dryer vent pathway from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination, and we agree to it in writing before a single tool comes off the truck. No per-vent pricing. No surprise surcharge for the transition or the roof cap. You’ll know the number before we start, and you’ll see before-and-after photos of your own vent when we’re done.
Chamblee’s mix of mid-century ranch homes and high-rise condos means no two dryer vent systems are alike. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team has worked runs of every shape and length across the city, from short, straight exits on brick ranches off Chamblee Dunwoody Road to 20-foot flex-duct chases inside condo buildings near the MARTA station. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate, and a live person will answer. That’s not a recorded message – it’s us, every time.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Chamblee’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Chamblee homeowners keep calling us back because we do one thing that most dryer vent companies won’t: we show you the work. Every visit ends with before-and-after photos of your dryer vent run, so you’re not taking our word for it. You’re seeing the lint we pulled out and the clear pipe we left behind. Omar Haddad built Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning inside the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and he holds every tech to one standard – if the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge.
We work throughout Chamblee, including neighborhoods like Huntley Hills, Clairmont Park, and the condo clusters around Peachtree Boulevard. Our techs know that a 1960s ranch on a crawlspace usually has a short, rigid vent run that clogs at the exterior flap, while a three-story condo chase often hides lint 15 feet in, where nobody can see it without a camera. That local knowledge shapes how we quote and how we clean. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know the technician’s name before they walk through your door.
Every booking through the Relay Standard includes a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No four-hour windows. No paper receipts you lose. Just the whole job, visible from first tap to final payment.
Dryer Vent Installation in Chamblee
Dryer Vent Installation in Chamblee means replacing an old or unsafe vent run with new, properly sized ducting that meets current fire code standards and moves lint efficiently out of the home. You need this when the existing run is torn, crushed, leaking, or made of vinyl or thin white flex that shouldn’t be in a dryer exhaust system at all. In most Chamblee homes, a full installation runs $185 – $320, depending on whether you need a straightforward transition replacement or a complete run from the dryer to the exterior cap.
Transition Replacement
The transition is the length of duct behind the dryer, and in Chamblee’s older ranches it’s often a crushed piece of silver flex that was never right. We replace it with a smooth, rigid or semi-rigid transition that won’t trap lint at the bend. This is a common fix on Chamblee Dunwoody Road homes where the dryer sits in a tight laundry closet and the transition gets kinked every time someone pushes the machine back.
Full Run Replacement
Longer runs, like those found in condo chases or installations that exit through the roof, often need full replacement when the existing pipe is too small, too long, or the wrong material. Chamblee code requires metal ducting for dryer exhausts – foil-covered flex and vinyl are both fire hazards. We quote one flat price for the entire run before the job starts, and that number doesn’t change at the door.
Dryer Vent Repair in Chamblee
Dryer Vent Repair in Chamblee is the work of fixing what’s broken without replacing what still works – reconnecting a disconnected pipe, repairing a crushed section, or replacing a failed vent cap or damper. Most repairs in Chamblee run $95 – $220, and we hand you a written price before we touch the vent. The most common repair we see in Chamblee is a vent flap that no longer opens because a bird built a nest inside, or a section of flex duct in a crawlspace that a rodent chewed through.
Vent Cap and Damper Repair
Chamblee’s tree canopy is beautiful, but it also means leaves, pine needles, and birds are a constant issue for exterior vent terminations. When a flap sticks shut or a bird guard is missing, the dryer works harder and lint stays in the run. We replace caps and install guards in one visit, for one written price.
Crushed or Disconnected Runs
On ranch homes with crawlspace access, we regularly find vent runs pulled apart by animals or crushed by stored boxes. The dryer keeps running, but the lint exhausts into the crawlspace instead of outside. That’s a fire risk and a moisture problem. We reconnect or replace the damaged section, then we run a camera through the full line to confirm the entire path is clear.
Trusted Brands We Service in Chamblee
We don’t play favorites with dryer brands. Our techs clean and repair vents on Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, GE, Electrolux, and Speed Queen machines, including full-size and stacked units common in Chamblee condos. We run professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush for rotary agitation and Nikro for HEPA-rated negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum instead of back into your laundry room. For Chamblee homeowners who want better indoor air after the vent is clean, we stock Guardsman filtration options and can add them the same day. We keep the common transition sizes and cap types on the truck, so most Chamblee installs and repairs finish in a single visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Chamblee Homes
- Lint clogged long chases in condos near the MARTA station. Short, straight runs in older homes show lint at the flap. Long chases hide it 12 to 20 feet inside the wall. We send a camera through the full run on every Chamblee condo clean, so nothing gets left behind.
- Crushed silver flex behind the dryer. Older Chamblee ranch homes often have tight laundry closets. Every time the dryer gets pushed back, the transition kinks. A five-foot crush can hold more lint than the rest of the run combined.
- Stuck exterior flaps from nesting birds and tree debris. Chamblee’s mature tree canopy, especially around Clairmont Park and Huntley Hills, keeps our technicians busy replacing flaps that can’t open. When the flap sticks shut, the dryer’s moisture and lint stay in the home.
- Per-vent pricing tricks from bait-and-switch companies. A Chamblee homeowner gets quoted one number on the phone, then the tech arrives and charges extra for the transition or the roof termination. We don’t work that way. One flat price for the system, agreed before we start.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Chamblee, GA
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Chamblee runs $110 – $185, and that’s the whole system: transition, full run, and exterior termination. If your home needs repair work, expect $95 – $220 for typical fixes like a new cap or a crushed section replacement. A full Dryer Vent Installation runs $185 – $320. The biggest variable in Chamblee is length – an 8-foot rigid run on a ranch is quick, while a 25-foot condo chase needs more time and agitation passes. We quote one flat price per system before we start, never per vent, and if we find a problem that requires extra work, you’ll approve the number first. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Chamblee
Every 12 to 24 months for most Chamblee households. If you have a long condo chase, run the dryer more than four loads a week, or live in an older ranch with a short, lint-prone run, you may need it annually. But here’s the honest part: if you have a short, straight rigid vent and you clean the lint trap every load, you might genuinely go two years between cleanings. We won’t sell you a service you don’t need. When your clothes start taking more than one cycle to dry or the exterior flap barely moves, that’s the signal. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll talk through your situation before you book anything.
Per system, always. We quote one flat price for the entire dryer vent pathway – dryer transition, full run length, and exterior termination – before any work starts. We don’t charge per vent, and we never quote a low teaser number on the phone and then add fees for the transition or the roof cap once the truck is parked. The per-vent pricing model is exactly the kind of bait-and-switch that’s common in this industry, and it’s why Chamblee homeowners trust us. One number. Written down. No changes.
No, and we won’t fake it. Dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled job with a real process – agitation, negative-pressure extraction, camera inspection, and photo documentation. Rushing that doesn’t help you. We book Chamblee appointments on a timeline that gives us room to do the job right, and we give you a live trackable arrival time through the Relay Standard so you’re never stuck wondering when we’ll show up. Honest scheduling beats an empty same-day promise every time.
We clean the entire run from both ends, starting with the dryer transition, then the full chase through the walls, and finally the exterior termination. For long condo chases near the MARTA station, lint packs deep inside – often 15 feet or more from the dryer – so we run rotary agitation tools through the full length under negative pressure, then send a camera down the line to verify every section is clear. The visible lint trap cleaning you can do yourself doesn’t touch what’s in the chase. Our process does.
We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation and Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for negative-pressure extraction. That means the debris we loosen goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room. For containment on heavy jobs, we use Abatement Technologies units. Every tech is background-checked and uniformed, and every Chamblee job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a year, we return and make it right at no charge.
