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 League City
Dryer vent cleaning in League City typically runs $150 – $260 for a standard single-dryer home, and most jobs take 60 – 90 minutes from setup to final camera check. We work the full length of the vent run, not just the trap. If you live off FM 518, along Clear Creek, or tucked into one of the newer west-side subdivisions, our crews know how League City homes are actually built, including the roof-jack terminations that older houses around Clear Lake share. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll talk to a live person, get a written price before we start, and see before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not a stock image.

No bait pricing, no per-vent math, no mystery. Just one flat price per system, agreed before a single tool comes off the truck.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is League City’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Most dryer vent companies in League City work the trap and call it done. We work the entire run. That distinction matters here because a large share of League City homes from the 1970s and 1980s, especially the Clear Lake-adjacent subdivisions and neighborhoods near Walker Street, terminate their dryer vents through roof jacks rather than side-wall outlets. Lint collects behind the foil transition those older homes were built with, and a quick trap clean never touches it. We run a camera the full length before we sign off.
Omar Haddad leads our operation, and the standard he set is simple: the customer sees everything. That’s why we run Rotobrush brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums, and why every tech is background-checked, uniformed, and known by name before they ring the bell. League City homeowners tell us the same thing: the estimate was the price, the tech showed up in the window, and the photos proved the work. That’s the Relay Standard, and we don’t book a job without it.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from the brand’s Houston office, but the crews serving League City work locally and know the housing stock. From Kemah to Friendswood, Webster to Dickinson, we’re moving through these neighborhoods daily.
Dryer Vent Inspection in League City
A Dryer Vent Inspection is the right first step when a League City dryer is taking two cycles to finish a load, the outside vent flap isn’t opening fully, or there’s a scorch smell near the laundry room. We run a camera through the entire vent path, identify crush points, measure lint buildup at every turn, and check whether the termination is performing correctly at the roof jack or side wall. An inspection-only visit in League City typically runs $75 – $120, and if you proceed with a cleaning, we credit that toward the full service.
Roof-Jack Camera Inspection
Homes in League City’s older Clear Lake-area subdivisions often vent dryers vertically through the roof. We snake a camera through the entire run and look specifically at the transition point behind the dryer, where builder-grade foil tends to collapse and trap lint. That’s the spot a visible trap check misses every time.
After-Repair Verification
If you’ve had a new roof, a vent reroute, or a dryer replacement in League City, we can verify the full run before you run the first load. We check for crushed sections, disconnected joints, and improper screen covers. You see the same footage we do, on the spot.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in League City
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning for a League City laundromat, apartment complex, salon, or fitness center is a different job than residential work, and we treat it that way. Multi-dryer runs, long common ducts, and roof penetrations over commercial flat roofs need heavier extraction equipment and a more methodical schedule. Commercial pricing in League City typically runs $400 – $900 per system depending on run length, number of dryers served, and accessibility, and we always provide a written flat price before scheduling.
Multi-Unit and Laundromat Runs
Laundromats along FM 518 and Dickinson Avenue run their dryers all day, which means lint loads build fast. We schedule recurring cleanings on a 90-day or 180-day cycle and document every visit with before-and-after photos so property managers can show compliance and due diligence.
Restaurant and Salon Lint Management
Commercial kitchens and salons in League City produce lint-plus-grease and lint-plus-hair combinations that a standard residential service won’t touch. We use Abatement Technologies containment units where needed and map the full run so nothing re-enters the occupied space.
Trusted Brands We Service in League City
We work on all major dryer and vent equipment brands across League City, including Honeywell, Aprilaire, Guardsman, and Rotobrush systems already installed in local homes. Since we carry common transition elbows, covers, bird guards, and semi-rigid duct sections on the truck, most small repair and replacement items get handled the same visit without a second trip. If your home has one of those older Honeywell or Aprilaire venting configurations common in Clear Lake-area builds, we know those models and how they route.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in League City Homes
- Roof-jack lint buildup on older east-side homes. League City houses built in the 1970s and 1980s, particularly near Walker Street and the Clear Creek core, often vent vertically. Lint sits in the transition and the upper run, where no visible trap check will find it.
- Builder-grade foil collapse behind the dryer. Cheap flexible foil was standard on many League City homes from that era. It crushes, sags, and catches lint at exactly the point where airflow should be cleanest. We replace it with semi-rigid elbows when the run allows.
- Humidity-driven lint clumping. League City’s Gulf humidity doesn’t just make lint sticky. It turns loose dust into a dense mat that clings to duct walls and reduces airflow far faster than dry-climate homes. Runs need checking more frequently here than in drier parts of Texas.
- Bird and wasp nests at exterior terminations. Unused or poorly screened vent caps around League City’s newer west-side and master-planned communities attract nesting. A bird guard install solves it cleanly, and we keep guards on the truck.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in League City, TX
A standard single-dryer Dryer Vent Cleaning in League City runs $150 – $260 and covers the full run: trap, transition, interior duct, and termination, with camera verification and before-and-after photos. Two-dryer homes or long commercial-style runs fall in the $260 – $400 range. Roof-jack runs take a little longer because of roof access and ladder work, and that is built into the quote up front, not added at the door.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in League City
Every 12 months for a household that runs 4+ loads per week, and every 6 months if you have pets, long roof-jack runs, or notice clothes taking longer to dry. Homes in League City’s humid Gulf climate tend to form dense, sticky lint mats faster than dry-climate homes, so the annual mark is the honest baseline here. Call (737) 727-2314 if you’re unsure whether you need it, and we’ll tell you straight.
It covers the complete dryer vent system for one dryer: the trap, the transition, the full duct run, and the exterior termination, plus camera verification and before-and-after photos. There’s no per-vent or per-linear-foot pricing, and the written price we give before we start is the price on the invoice. For a home with two dryers, that’s a second system priced up front the same way.
Builders in League City’s 1970s and 1980s subdivisions, especially those around Clear Lake and Walker Street, frequently routed dryer vents through roof jacks to keep exterior walls clean. A roof-jack run is longer, harder to inspect, and more likely to hold hidden lint behind the foil transition. We camera-inspect the full run on every roof-jack vent so nothing gets missed.
