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 Dunedin
Dryer vent cleaning in Dunedin typically runs $130 – $180 for a standard single-dryer home with a short, straight run to an exterior wall. If your vent travels through the attic, roof, or a long crawlspace path, expect $180 – $260 because the run length and routing change how long the job takes and what tools are needed. That’s the honest answer most Dunedin homeowners never get. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a flat price before any work starts, not a per-vent teaser that rises when the tech sees your roof line.
We work in Dunedin weekly, so we know what lives in these vent lines: the 1920s bungalows off Main Street with their narrow attics, the 1980s ranches near Curlew Creek with roof terminations, the condos along Bayshore Boulevard with shared chase spaces. Every house is different, and the vent run is where problems hide. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning techs carry camera inspection gear on every job, which is the only way to see what’s actually inside the pipe before quoting a price.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Dunedin’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We show up in uniform, with a name you know before the door opens, and we hand you a written price before a single tool comes off the truck. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies to every Dunedin booking. No vague estimates, no price that shifts once the attic ladder comes down. Part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, we’re held to a visibility promise: live trackable arrival, before-and-after photos, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone.
Omar Haddad leads the team, and his name is on the guarantee. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the vent cleaning isn’t done right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. Not a 30-day window, not select jobs. Every single one. Dunedin homeowners hear that and ask why every trade doesn’t work this way. We don’t have a good answer for them. We just keep doing it.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dunedin
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dunedin covers multi-unit laundry rooms, salon and spa dryers, pet grooming facilities, and the small motels and rental properties along alternate 19 and the side streets off Main Street. These are not residential jobs with a bigger bill: they require different containment, often a lift or ladder work to reach roof terminations, and a scheduling plan that doesn’t interrupt your tenants or customers. A small commercial dryer vent job in Dunedin generally runs $220 – $350, while stacked multi-dryer systems run $350 – $600 depending on how many runs terminate where.
What the Job Involves
We map every dryer’s vent run first, then clean each line with rotary agitation under negative pressure. For commercial buildings, that means a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulling the loosened lint out of the building instead of letting it drift back into a laundry room where people are still working. Roof and parapet terminations get the damper checked and freed if it is stuck, which is common in Dunedin’s salt air.
Who Needs It
Any Dunedin property with shared laundry, tenant turnover, or a dryer that runs daily at volume should be cleaned every 6 to 12 months. A vacation rental with high-season turnover stacks up lint faster than a single-family home. If your building’s dryers are pushing more heat and taking longer to finish, the vent is the first place to look.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Dunedin
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Dunedin should never begin with an air wand and a prayer. Ours begins with a camera inspection of the entire lint pathway, from the dryer collar to the exterior termination. That tells us the run length, the material, the number of bends, and whether the damper is still functioning. Then we quote one flat price per system. A standard Dunedin home with a straight exterior wall termination runs $130 – $180, and you’ll know exactly which bracket you are in before we start.
Inspection and Lint Removal
We use rotary brush agitation coupled with a negative-pressure vacuum. Negative-pressure extraction means the loosened debris is pulled straight into the HEPA unit, not blown out into your laundry room or pushed further into the run. After the run is clear, we inspect the damper and the termination cap, and we show you the before-and-after camera photos of your own vent.
Rerouting and Cap Replacement
Many Dunedin bungalows have dryer vents that were never routed well to begin with: flexible foil sagging through an attic, or a run that ends under an eave where lint backs up fast. We can reroute those to a short rigid metal run with a proper exterior cap, and we’ll quote that as a separate line item before any work starts. No hidden part insertions, no surprise charges.
Trusted Brands We Service in Dunedin
We work on every major dryer brand and the vent systems that connect them. Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, Speed Queen, GE, Electrolux, and Kenmore appear constantly in Dunedin laundry rooms, and our techs are trained on their vent collars and internal airflow paths. We also stock common termination caps, dampers, and rigid metal duct sections for Dunedin homes, so a cap replacement or damper repair usually happens the same visit rather than a callback a week later. The filtration side of the house runs on Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies products when a homeowner wants combustion air or filtration work done alongside the vent cleaning.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Dunedin Homes
- Long, kinked runs through attics and crawlspaces. The 1920s bungalows off Main Street and the ranch homes near Curlew Creek often have flex duct that sags, kinks, or pools lint at every bend, which shortens dryer life and pushes dry times up.
- Stuck or corroded exterior dampers from salt air. Dunedin’s coastal air is rough on metal. We regularly find flapper dampers frozen halfway open, which lets humidity, pests, and hot outdoor air back into the run.
- Roof terminations with packed lint at the cap. Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s around the Dunedin Causeway area frequently terminate on the roof, and the cap screens clog so badly that airflow drops to near zero. This is a fire hazard, not just an efficiency problem.
- Chimney-style or long shared runs in older multi-family buildings. The condo and duplex stock along Bayshore Boulevard and down side streets near the Pinellas Trail can share or extend runs far beyond code intent, which is why camera inspection matters more than blowing air through and hoping.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dunedin, FL
A straight shot from dryer to exterior wall in Dunedin runs $130 – $180. A roof termination or long attic run runs $180 – $260. Rerouting a crushed or sagging flex duct into rigid metal pipe adds $90 – $180 depending on how much of the run we are replacing and whether we need to cut a new exterior penetration. A new damper or termination cap runs $25 – $60 installed and is often worth doing the same day we find the old one failed. These are whole-system flat prices, not per-vent figures that look small on a flyer and triple once the technician is on site. Call (737) 727-2314 and we will walk the run with you, show you the camera footage, and hand you a written price.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dunedin
Every 12 months for a standard single-family home in Dunedin, and every 6 months if your vent runs through the roof, the run is longer than 15 feet, or you run laundry daily for a big household. Clothes that take two cycles to dry mean the vent is already restricted and you are paying for it on your FPL bill. Call (737) 727-2314 and we can tell you from a camera inspection whether you are due or not.
No. A dryer has one vent run, not a grid of vents, so per-vent pricing does not even apply to this service. We quote one flat price per system based on run length, routing, damper condition, and what the camera shows, and that price is written down before we touch the equipment.
Yes, roof-terminated runs are a large share of our Dunedin work. We treat the run from the dryer upward, clean the full length with the rotary brush and negative-pressure vacuum, and clear the cap screen at the roof line. We inspect the damper the same visit. Roof runs usually add to the job length, which is already included in the $180 – $260 bracket.
Air duct cleaning covers the HVAC distribution system: supply and return ducts, registers, the air handler, and the plenum. Dryer vent cleaning is a separate, single-purpose line that carries hot, lint-heavy exhaust from your dryer to the outdoors. Different tools, different risks, and a different job. We do both, but we will always tell you which one you actually need. For a full HVAC cleaning, call us at (737) 727-2314 and we will quote both jobs separately.
Yes, without exception. Our camera gear captures the inside of your vent run before and after cleaning, and those photos are part of your final job packet under the Relay Standard. You see the same evidence we saw: the packed lint, the damper state, and the clean pipe after the work is done. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate and a straight answer on your vent.
