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 Gladeview
Dryer vent cleaning in Gladeview typically runs $149 – $399 for a complete single-system cleaning, depending on how long the vent run is and where it exits. That’s a flat price for the whole vent pathway, agreed in writing before we touch anything. No per-vent add-ons, no hourly creep. If you live in Gladeview and your dryer has started taking two cycles to finish a load, call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home actually needs.
We work across Gladeview regularly, from the older block homes near NW 27th Avenue to the newer two-story infill going up across the neighborhood. We know the housing stock here because we’re in it every week. That matters more than most people realize when it comes to dryer vents, because the way a Gladeview home was built directly affects where lint accumulates and how hard it is to remove.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Gladeview’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Gladeview homeowners keep calling us back for one reason: we show the work. Every job includes before-and-after photos of your own duct, not a stock image. You see the lint we pulled out, the cap we cleared, and the clean run all the way through. That’s The Relay Standard, and it’s how we’ve operated since our parent company, Relay Home Co., was founded in 2005.
Omar Haddad leads our local crews, and every technician who comes to your Gladeview home is background-checked, uniformed, and carrying professional-grade equipment. We run Rotobrush rotary agitation tools paired with Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum extraction. That combination matters because it means loosened lint goes straight into the vacuum under negative pressure, not back into your laundry room.
When you book with us, you’re not waiting on a four-hour window. You get a live trackable arrival time, a written price before work starts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Calls are answered by a live person day or night. If the work isn’t done right within 365 days, we come back and make it right at no charge. That guarantee covers every job. No exceptions.
Dryer Vent Repair in Gladeview
Dryer Vent Repair in Gladeview usually means one of three things: a crushed or disconnected transition hose behind the dryer, a damaged or stuck exterior cap, or a section of rigid duct that has separated inside a wall or attic chase. Most Gladeview homeowners discover the problem the same way: the dryer runs hot, the load takes forever, or there’s a burning smell that wasn’t there last month. Repair costs here typically run $89 – $220 depending on what’s failed, and every repair comes with a written guarantee plus a free second visit if it fails again.
Transition Hose Replacement
The flexible hose behind your dryer is the most common failure point in Gladeview homes. It gets crushed when the dryer gets pushed back against the wall, and once it’s kinked, airflow drops immediately. We replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid metal connector, not another foil accordion tube. This is a 20-minute fix for us and it restores proper airflow instantly.
Cap and Flapper Repair
The vent cap on your outside wall or roof does the actual work of keeping rain, birds, and debris out of the lint pathway. When the flapper sticks open or the cap cracks, everything from humidity to rodents can get in. We stock replacement caps for the common sizes found on Gladeview homes and can swap a damaged one during the same visit as a cleaning. If you’ve got a roof or gable cap on a two-story home, we handle that too with proper ladder safety.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Gladeview
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Gladeview should do more than brush the hose behind the dryer. The full lint pathway runs from the back of your dryer all the way to the outside termination point, and in many Gladeview homes, that includes a long attic section that most companies never touch. A complete cleaning here runs $149 – $399 as one flat system price, depending on run length and access. You’ll see the before-and-after photos of your own duct before you pay a cent.
Full-Pathway Cleaning
We clean the entire run, not just the first three feet. Our techs feed rotating agitation tools through the full length of the duct while a HEPA-filtered vacuum holds the system under negative pressure. That means loosened debris gets pulled into the collection unit rather than blown into your attic or laundry room. For Gladeview homes with attic-to-gable runs, we use camera inspection before and after so there’s no guessing about what got cleaned.
Lint Removal and Airflow Restoration
Felted lint is the real problem in long Gladeview dryer vent runs. It builds up in layers, especially at bends and at the cap, and eventually chokes the duct down to a fraction of its original diameter. We remove that compacted lint mechanically, not just by vacuuming the loose stuff. The result is a measurable improvement in airflow: dryers that finished in one cycle start finishing in one cycle again.
Trusted Brands We Service in Gladeview
Our equipment and parts come from brands that actually hold up in South Florida’s humidity. We run Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum units for extraction and Abatement Technologies containment equipment when a job calls for it. For filtration products we source from Honeywell and Aprilaire. That’s not a list of names we slapped on a website; it’s what our techs carry into Gladeview homes every week. We keep common cap sizes, connectors, and transition hoses stocked locally so most repairs don’t require a second trip.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Gladeview Homes
- Crushed transition hoses behind dryers. In Gladeview’s older block homes, laundry closets are often tight, and the dryer gets pushed hard against the back wall. The flexible foil hose crushes, airflow drops, and the dryer runs hot. This is the most common problem we fix on a first visit.
- Attic-to-gable runs full of felted lint. Newer two-story infill homes in Gladeview often vent dryers up through the attic to a gable or roof cap. That run is longer, has more bends, and gathers compacted lint that nobody sees until the dryer stops drying. Camera inspection catches this before it becomes a fire hazard.
- Stuck or clogged exterior caps. The cap on the outside wall or roof is supposed to open when the dryer runs and close when it’s off. In Gladeview’s humid climate, dust and lint combine into a paste that can glue the flapper shut. We clean and test every cap as part of the service.
- Bird and rodent intrusion. An open or damaged vent cap in a Gladeview neighborhood with mature trees is an open door for nesting birds and small rodents. We install bird guards and replace worn caps to keep wildlife out of the lint pathway.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gladeview
Yes, we clean the full run from the dryer to the outside termination, including attic and second-story sections. Our techs use camera inspection to see the entire pathway first, then run rotating agitation tools through the full length while a HEPA-filtered vacuum holds the system under negative pressure. We’ve cleaned hundreds of two-story attic runs in Gladeview, including gable caps that hadn’t been touched in years. The cost for a two-story run is $249 – $399 as one flat system price. Call (737) 727-2314 for a quote based on your specific run.
A clean lint trap only catches the lint that comes off the clothes before it enters the duct. A significant amount still passes through and accumulates along the vent walls, especially at bends and near the cap. In Gladeview’s humidity, that lint can felt together into a dense mat that narrows the airflow path even if the trap looks spotless. We regularly pull several pounds of compacted lint out of vents in homes where the owner emptied the trap after every load. The only way to know is a camera inspection, which is included in our cleaning service.
We charge one flat price for the entire dryer vent system, agreed in writing before we start. There is no per-vent pricing, no hourly rate, and no upcharge if the run turns out to be longer than expected. The price you get is based on your home’s specific setup: a short side-wall run runs $149 – $199, while a longer attic-to-gable run runs $249 – $399. That’s the whole price. Calls like yours are why we do it this way; the alternative is a low quote over the phone that balloons once the tech sees the full run. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll quote you honestly over the phone.
For most Gladeview homes, every 12 to 24 months is appropriate. Homes with long attic runs, heavy daily dryer use, or pets that shed may need it more often, around every 9 to 12 months. If your dryer has started taking longer to dry a load or the outside of the dryer gets unusually hot during a cycle, that’s the signal to get it cleaned now rather than waiting for a schedule. We don’t push unnecessary cleanings. If your vent looks clean on camera at the one-year mark, we’ll tell you to wait.
Yes, we handle dryer vent repair in Gladeview as a standard part of our service. That includes replacing crushed or disconnected transition hoses, swapping damaged exterior caps, repairing separated duct sections inside walls or attic chases, and installing bird guards. Most repairs run $89 – $220 depending on what’s failed and what parts are needed. Every repair is backed by a written guarantee, and if a repair fails within the coverage period, we return for a free second visit. Call (737) 727-2314 and describe the issue; we’ll tell you honestly whether it sounds like a repair, a cleaning, or both.
