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 Manor
Dryer vent cleaning in Manor, TX typically costs $149 – $289 for a standard single-dryer home, and most jobs are completed in under two hours. If your dryer is taking longer than one full cycle to dry a normal load, or you can’t remember the last time the vent was cleaned, that’s lint accumulation and it’s a fire risk that gets worse every cycle. Our crews serve Manor neighborhoods from ShadowGlen to Presidential Meadows, and we bring the same professional-grade equipment and flat-rate pricing to every job. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Manor’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Manor homeowners call us because we answer the phone with a live person, show up when we say we will, and hand over a written price before a single tool comes off the truck. That’s rare in this trade, and Manor residents have learned to expect it from us. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and know their way around the specific housing stock here. From older pier-and-beam homes near the downtown rail line to new-build subdivisions east of 130, the approach changes, but the standard doesn’t.
We run Rotobrush rotary agitation tools and Nikro HEPA vacuums on every job, so loosened lint goes straight into a sealed filtration unit rather than back into your laundry room. Our crews also carry camera inspection equipment so you can see the inside of your vent before and after. That camera is what separates us from a guy with a shop vac and a coupon. We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every booking follows The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice payable from your phone. Omar Haddad leads our team, and he’s built the business around one principle: total visibility from booking to invoice.
Dryer Vent Installation in Manor
Dryer Vent Cleaning is what we’re known for, but Dryer Vent Installation in Manor is a core service because so many homes here were built before modern venting codes or have vents that were never routed properly in the first place. A new installation typically runs $220 – $480 depending on run length, access, and whether we’re replacing rigid metal duct or rerouting through a wall or roof. Older homes near Lexington Street and the historic downtown area often have flexible foil or vinyl duct that should have been replaced years ago. Newer subdivisions have their own issues: long runs through unconditioned attics that sag, separate, or get crushed by stored boxes.
When Replacement Beats Cleaning
If your vent is crushed, disconnected, or made of vinyl or foil, no amount of cleaning will make it safe. We replace it with rigid metal duct, properly sealed and supported. On new-build homes in Manor, we frequently find flex duct crushed behind the dryer during installation because builders cared more about closing the wall than routing the vent correctly.
Rerouting and Termination
Some Manor homes vent into the attic or under the house, which is a code violation and a fire hazard. We reroute those runs to terminate outside with a proper hood and bird guard. A full reroute in a two-story Manor home with attic access typically runs $350 – $520, including the new exterior termination.
Dryer Vent Repair in Manor
Dryer Vent Repair in Manor usually means one of three things: replacing a crushed or disconnected section, fixing a failed exterior hood or flap, or correcting improper routing that’s been hiding behind the dryer. Most repairs run $120 – $260, and we always give a written price before we start. If your vent has separated at a joint and lint is blowing into the wall cavity or attic, that’s a repair you should schedule immediately: lint in an enclosed space is combustible insulation waiting for a heat source. Every repair we make carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge, no questions asked.
Vent Cap and Bird Guard Replacement
The exterior hood on a Manor home takes full Texas heat, rain, and the occasional mockingbird looking for a nesting spot. We replace failed hoods and install bird guards that keep nests and rodents out without restricting airflow. A standard cap replacement runs $60 – $110 with the part included.
Crushed Duct Repair
In Manor’s new-build subdivisions, the most common repair we make is fixing flex duct crushed behind the dryer where the builder forced the appliance into a tight cutout. We pull the dryer, repair or replace the damaged section, and run a camera through the full line to confirm it’s clear. Then we test airflow at the exterior hood before we leave.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Manor Homes
- Long attic runs through unconditioned space. In neighborhoods like ShadowGlen and Wildhorse Ranch, dryer vents often run 20 – 40 feet through hot attics. Lint cools and condenses at the midpoint, sticking to the duct walls and building up faster than a short straight run ever would. A single cleaning restores full airflow, but these runs need attention more often.
- Crushed flex duct behind the dryer. New-build homes on Manor’s east side are the worst offenders. The builder pushes the dryer into place, the flex duct folds, and lint packs into the kink where the trap can’t catch it. A camera inspection is the only way to see it without pulling the unit.
- No exterior hood flap or a stuck one. Many Manor homes have damaged hoods that stay open, inviting birds and rodents into the vent line. A stuck flap also backdrafts cold air into the laundry room in winter and lets that Texas heat in during July.
- Vents terminating in the attic. We still find older Manor homes where the dryer vents into the attic or a crawlspace instead of outside. That’s a code violation and a serious fire risk. It’s also a repair we can usually complete in a single visit.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Manor, TX
We charge one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. For a single-dryer home in Manor, standard vent cleaning runs $149 – $289. If the run is unusually long, accessible only from a steep roof, or requires repair work, we’ll tell you the full price before any tools come out. We never quote per vent and we never add fees once the tech is on site. That’s what separates us from the low-ball coupons you see in the mail: the number we hand you is the number you pay. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free, written estimate.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Manor
A standard single-dryer vent cleaning in Manor runs $149 – $289, and that’s one flat price for the whole system, not a per-vent rate that climbs while the tech is already on site. The price is written before we start and doesn’t change. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you an exact quote over the phone based on your home’s layout and vent access.
Most Manor homes should have their dryer vent cleaned every 12 to 24 months. Long attic runs, large households doing daily laundry, and homes with high-efficiency dryers push that interval toward the shorter end. If your dryer takes longer than a full cycle to dry a normal load, that’s your sign.
Yes, our technicians handle two-story homes throughout Manor, including neighborhoods like Presidential Meadows, using roof and attic access when needed. We carry the ladders, safety harnesses, and camera equipment required for elevated work. A two-story vent run often takes longer to clean because of the added access time, but the flat price we give you reflects that before we start.
The trap catches only part of the lint your dryer produces. The rest moves through the vent line and sticks to the duct walls, especially in Manor homes where long attic runs create condensation points. Over one or two years, that accumulation becomes inches thick, restricts airflow, and becomes a real fire hazard. We remove what the trap never sees.
We don’t promise same-day service, because a proper cleaning and camera inspection takes time and we won’t rush the job or bump a scheduled customer. That said, we answer the phone 24/7 and we’ll schedule you for the earliest available slot. If a vent is damaged or disconnected, we’ll prioritize your repair. Call (737) 727-2314 to check current availability.
