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.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Johns Creek’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Johns Creek homeowners call us because we show up when we say we will, and because the price on the written estimate is the price on the invoice. Our Johns Creek customers live in large, well-built homes where a clogged dryer vent isn’t obvious until dry times climb or the dryer starts cycling on and off. We know the floor plans in developments like Seven Oaks, Medlock Bridge, and St. Ives: laundry rooms tucked mid-level or upstairs, vent runs with long horizontal stretches, and termination hoods buried behind landscaping where pollen and debris build up.
Every technician we send to a Johns Creek home is background-checked, in uniform, and carrying commercial equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. That’s not a branding point. It means the work gets done without a mess we can’t contain and without a shop-vac pretending to do a professional job. Omar Haddad, who leads our team, built the process around one principle that matters in Johns Creek specifically: showing the homeowner real before-and-after photos of their own vent run, not a stock image. You’ll see the lint that was inside your walls, and you’ll see the clean metal after we’re done. That’s the Dryer Vent Cleaning standard we hold across every job.
Johns Creek homeowners tell us the same thing after the work is done: they didn’t realize how much lint was sitting in a 20-foot run with two elbows. We see it on camera, every time, and we show you before we clean it and after it’s done. That level of proof is why people recommend us to their neighbors.
Dryer Vent Repair in Johns Creek
Dryer Vent Repair in Johns Creek usually means one of three things: a crushed flexible transition duct behind the dryer, a broken or flapping exterior hood, or a vent run that was never supported properly and has sagged, trapping lint at the low point. In Johns Creek’s 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, the flexible foil or plastic transition is a common failure point. It sags, gets pinched behind the dryer, and creates a lint trap right where the airflow should be strongest. We cut out the damaged section, replace it with rigid metal duct, and secure it properly.
Repair pricing that’s agreed before work starts
A simple transition-duct replacement in Johns Creek runs $85 – $140. Replacing a damaged exterior hood or screen assembly runs $65 – $110. If the whole vent run is compromised and needs to be re-routed or rebuilt, the job runs $225 – $450 depending on access and the length of the run. The written price is handed to you before a single panel comes off the dryer.
What we repair on a Johns Creek Dryer Vent
We replace crushed or sagging transition duct, install rigid metal where flexible foil was used by the original builder, replace exterior hoods and bird guards, and reroute vent runs when the original path is too long or has too many elbows. We don’t repair a dryer’s internal motor or electrical components. That’s not our trade. We repair the vent path, and that’s where the lint problem actually lives.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Johns Creek
As a Dryer Vent Cleaning Company serving Johns Creek, our core work is removing built-up lint from the entire vent path, from the point where the dryer connects to the wall all the way to the exterior hood. In a two-story Johns Creek home, the vent run can travel 20 to 30 feet with two 90-degree elbows along the way. That’s a lot of distance for lint to pack down, and a short brush from a hardware store won’t reach it. We use a Rotobrush rotary whip to agitate the lint loose and a Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum creating negative pressure at the other end, so the debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room.
Cleaning for second-floor laundry rooms
Second-floor and mid-level laundry rooms are standard in Johns Creek subdivision plans. The vent run often goes down a wall chase and across a floor cavity before it exits. That’s where lint compacts against elbows and low points. Our agitation tools reach the full run, and the camera shows us exactly where the load was heaviest before we finish.
Exterior hood service and bird guard installation
Johns Creek homes sit among mature trees, and the exterior dryer hood is where pollen, dirt, and bird activity cause blockages even when the run itself is fairly clean. We clear the hood, replace damaged flap assemblies, and install a bird guard when birds have built or attempted to build in the vent termination. A standard hood cleaning with the full-system service adds no cost. A replacement or new bird guard runs $65 – $110.
Trusted Brands We Service in Johns Creek
We clean and service dryer vents behind every major dryer brand you’ll find in Johns Creek homes: Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Maytag, GE, Electrolux, and Kenmore. The vent path doesn’t care what name is on the dryer. What matters is the duct behind it, and we carry the common termination hoods, transition ducts, and bird guards that match the local building conventions, so we can repair what we find without sending you to a supply house or scheduling a second visit. When a Johns Creek homeowner has a dryer that’s taking two cycles or a hood that won’t seal, the fix is usually the vent, not the dryer. We show you why on camera.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Johns Creek Homes
- The long hidden run behind the wall. Two-story Johns Creek plans commonly route a dryer vent 20+ feet with two 90-degree elbows. Lint packs hardest at those bends, out of sight and out of reach from the laundry room side without professional agitation tools.
- Crushed flexible transition behind the dryer. The foil or vinyl connector used in many 1990s and 2000s builds here gets pushed back against the wall and collapses. The dryer still runs, but the airflow is strangled, and the blower motor works against a clog.
- Pollen and debris jammed in the exterior hood. Johns Creek’s tree-lined neighborhoods produce heavy pollen in spring, and that material finds its way into the termination hood along with lint. A stuck flap or screened hood backs up the whole run, and the homeowner thinks the dryer is failing.
- Second-floor runs that were never cleaned since construction. We regularly service homes where the original vent run from the 1990s builder is still in place and has never been touched. In St. Ives, our tech found a run so packed that the dryer’s blower was cycling on thermal overload. Replacing the crushed transition and cleaning the full run restored a one-cycle dry time.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Johns Creek, GA
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Johns Creek runs $149 – $289 for the full system, and that’s one flat price per system, not a per-vent fee. It includes the complete vent run, the transition duct inspection, and the exterior hood. If the run is especially long or there’s a repair needed, we quote the repair separately and hand you the written price before we touch anything. The final invoice matches the quote. It always does.
We don’t run coupon games where the $49 special turns into a $400 invoice once a technician is on the driveway. That’s the reputation duct cleaning has, and it’s exactly the reputation we refuse to feed. A comparable job in Sandy Springs or Roswell might cost within $20 of the same range, but Johns Creek’s long second-floor runs occasionally push a job toward the upper end because there’s more distance to clean and more elbows to navigate. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote. It’s free, and the price won’t shift when we arrive.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Johns Creek
You need cleaning if your clothes are taking two full cycles to dry, the dryer is hot to the touch, the exterior flap isn’t opening while it runs, or it’s been more than 18 months since the last cleaning in a two-story home with a long run. If none of those apply and the vent was cleaned recently, you probably don’t need it. We’ll show you camera footage from inside the run before we start, so you can see the actual condition. If it’s clear, we’ll tell you it’s clear. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you figure out whether a cleaning is actually warranted.
Yes, it changes the length and the access, but not the price structure. Second-floor runs in Johns Creek typically travel 20 to 30 feet through wall chases and floor cavities, with at least two 90-degree elbows. That’s a substantially longer path than a main-floor laundry in a ranch. We bring equipment sized for that run and clean the full length, not just the first few feet. The flat per-system price covers it. Call (737) 727-2314 to confirm your specific setup.
For most Johns Creek households, once every 12 to 18 months is realistic. If you run the dryer daily and your vent path is long with multiple elbows, lean toward 12 months. If the laundry is used lightly and the exterior hood stays clear year-round, 18 to 24 months is usually fine. More often than that is rarely necessary. We’ll give you an honest recommendation after we see the run. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll schedule it without pushing a service you don’t need.
Per system. One flat price for the entire dryer vent run, agreed in writing before we start. There is no per-vent pricing, no upcharge when we find an extra elbow, and no surprise fee when we reach the exterior hood. That’s the whole point of the way we quote. If you want the exact number for your home, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give it to you over the phone.
Both. If we find a crushed transition, a sagging section of the run, or a broken exterior hood, we show you the camera image and quote the repair right there. You approve the number before we do anything. Common repairs in Johns Creek include replacing flexible foil with rigid metal, swapping damaged hoods, and fitting bird guards. The cleaning and the repair happen in the same visit so you’re not waiting on a second appointment. Call (737) 727-2314 if you suspect your vent has damage beyond clogging.
