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 Colleyville
Most dryer vent cleanings in Colleyville run $150 to $260 for a single residential dryer, and the job typically takes 45 to 90 minutes once our technician arrives. We’re not the budget guy with a shop vac, and we’re not the guy who quotes $79 on the phone and hands you a $450 invoice in the driveway. We show up with a camera, a brush system, and a HEPA vacuum, and we give you a written price before a single screw comes off the wall. If you’re tired of a dryer that takes two cycles to finish a load of towels, call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk through what’s going on.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Colleyville’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Colleyville homeowners call us because the houses here make dryer vent work genuinely harder than it looks on paper. Most homes in this city are larger two-story builds with laundry rooms on the second floor, which means the vent run is long, elbow-heavy, and hidden behind finished walls. A short run in a 1,200-square-foot house is a quick job. A 28-foot run with three elbows through a Colleyville second floor is a different animal, and we treat it that way from the first inspection.
Every technician who rolls up to a Colleyville job is background-checked and arrives in uniform, and you’ll know their name before they knock. The equipment is professional grade: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure collection, and Abatement Technologies containment when the job calls for it. No truck-mounted shop vac pretending to be a duct cleaning rig.
Omar Haddad leads the Cardinal team with a simple rule: if the work is not done right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it covers every dryer vent cleaning we book in Colleyville, no fine print and no exceptions.
The truth about this trade is that pricing is where most homeowners get burned. Per-vent quotes, bait-and-switch coupons, a price that mysteriously grows once the tech is inside. Cardinal operates on one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts, and the number does not move at the door. That’s how the Relay Standard works, and it’s how every Colleyville booking runs: a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photos of your own vent, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Colleyville
Dryer Vent Inspection in Colleyville means running a camera through the full interior of the vent line, checking the cap and damper at the exterior exit, and measuring airflow at the dryer connection point. It’s the only way to know whether the lint you can see at the trap is the whole story or whether there’s a packed obstruction at the second elbow behind a finished wall. In Colleyville’s two-story homes, the second scenario is far more common than most people expect.
What the Camera Tells Us
The inspection is not a quick look with a flashlight. We push a flexible camera line through the entire run, from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, and we watch every elbow and seam. That camera footage shows us exactly where lint is building, whether the duct has been crushed or disconnected, and whether the vent cap at the roofline or soffit is damaged or blocked by bird activity. If we recommend a cleaning, it’s because the footage shows us why it’s needed.
Inspection as a Standalone Service
A standalone dryer vent inspection in Colleyville runs $89 to $140, and if you decide to move forward with the cleaning right then, we discount the inspection cost from the cleaning total. That’s useful when you’ve just bought a home and you don’t know the history of the vent run, or when your HOA sends a notice about exterior vent caps and you want documentation of what’s behind the wall before anything gets replaced.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Colleyville
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Colleyville covers apartment complexes, laundromats, salons, gyms, and any business running multiple dryers on a regular schedule. The job is different from residential work because the lint load is higher, the runs are longer, and the stakes include fire code compliance and insurance requirements, not just a dryer that’s slow to finish a load. We quote commercial work on a flat per-system basis, same as residential, with a written price before anything gets touched.
Multi-Dryer Buildings
In multi-dryer buildings, we inspect and clean each vent line individually, then document every run with before-and-after photos and a written summary. Property managers in Colleyville use that documentation for insurance renewals and fire code compliance, and it gives tenants a clear answer when a dryer is underperforming. The scheduling is built around building hours, and we coordinate access with on-site management so we’re not disrupting residents or customers.
Commercial HEPA Standards
We pull commercial-grade negative pressure with Nikro HEPA vacuums on every commercial job, which means the loosened lint goes into the filter bag, not into the laundry room or an adjacent HVAC return. In older Colleyville buildings where the dryer vent shares wall cavities with supply and return ducting, that’s not a preference, it’s the difference between a clean vent and a new air quality problem.
We also install and service commercial-grade vent caps, bird guards, and booster fans where long commercial runs need help maintaining correct airflow. If you manage or own a commercial laundry facility in Colleyville, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll schedule a camera inspection and written quote.
Trusted Brands We Service in Colleyville
We work on dryers and vent systems from every major manufacturer found in Colleyville homes, including Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Maytag, Electrolux, and GE. The vent side is brand-neutral by design: a 4-inch rigid duct is a 4-inch rigid duct, and the cleaning process doesn’t change because the dryer badge says Samsung. What changes is the access, the run length, and the condition of the existing ductwork, which is why we carry Guardsman replacement caps and guards in the truck along with rigid duct sections and connectors sized for Colleyville’s common vent exits at the roofline, soffit, and side wall.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Colleyville Homes
- Long second-floor runs packed at the second or third elbow. Colleyville’s two-story layouts push vent runs into the 20-to-35-foot range with multiple direction changes. The lint that’s visible at the trap is never the whole picture, and the real blockage is usually sitting behind a finished wall where only a camera can see it.
- Bird and squirrel activity at the exterior cap. Colleyville’s oak-heavy neighborhoods mean nesting animals find vent caps fast. A missing or cheap cap invites birds to build inside the duct, and once a nest blocks airflow, the dryer overheats and the lint packs harder with every cycle.
- Foil or flexible duct that has crushed behind the dryer or inside the wall. A lot of Colleyville homes were built or renovated with flexible foil runs, and those crush easily when a dryer is pushed back into position. A crushed run cuts airflow and makes every load take longer.
- HOA and exterior modification restrictions. Many Colleyville neighborhoods have strict rules about what can be installed on the exterior of the home. We’re familiar with the local HOA expectations and choose vent caps and guards that keep the exterior clean without triggering a compliance letter.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Colleyville
How often does a dryer vent in a Colleyville two-story home actually need cleaning?
Most Colleyville homeowners need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months, and the longer second-floor runs in this city’s two-story homes push that closer to the 12-month mark. If your laundry room is on the second floor and the vent exits through the roofline, the run is longer and more lint gets trapped at the elbows. A good rule: if your dryer takes two cycles to dry towels or the exterior vent flap isn’t pushing open forcefully when the dryer runs, schedule a camera inspection.
Do you charge per vent or a flat price for dryer vent cleaning in Colleyville?
We charge one flat price per dryer vent system, not per vent or per elbow. That’s a deliberate choice, because per-vent pricing is exactly how Colleyville homeowners end up with a $79 coupon that turns into a $400 invoice once the tech sees a second-floor run and starts adding fees. Our flat price covers the full system from dryer connection to exterior cap, and you approve the written number before we start. Call (737) 727-2314 for a quote on your specific vent run.
What does a dryer vent inspection include, and is it separate from the cleaning?
A dryer vent inspection includes a full camera run of the interior of the duct, airflow measurement at the dryer, and a physical check of the exterior cap and damper. It’s a separate service at $89 to $140, and it’s the right choice when you’ve just moved into a Colleyville home or when you suspect a problem but aren’t sure a cleaning is needed. If you decide to move forward with the cleaning on the same visit, we discount the inspection fee from the cleaning total.
Can you clean a commercial dryer vent in Colleyville, and do you follow NADCA standards?
Yes, we clean commercial dryer vents throughout Colleyville for apartments, laundromats, salons, and gyms, and our process follows NADCA standards for source removal and containment. Commercial work is quoted per vent line after a camera inspection, and we provide before-and-after photo documentation that building owners use for insurance and fire code compliance. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule a commercial walkthrough.
Will you show me before-and-after photos of my own dryer vent?
Yes. Every Colleyville dryer vent cleaning includes before-and-after photos of your own duct, taken with our camera system and delivered with your digital invoice. That’s part of The Relay Standard we operate under: live trackable arrival, photo proof of the work, and a written price before anything starts. If the photos don’t show a clear improvement, the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies, and we’ll return and correct it at no charge.
