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.

Orlando’s climate and housing stock make dryer vents work harder here than almost anywhere else in Florida, which is why regular Orlando HVAC Cleaning matters. Long runs, rogue seasonal renters, salty humid air – it all adds up. We’re a local crew that treats your vent like it’s our own, with camera inspections and before-and-after photos on every job.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Orlando’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Omar Haddad and the Cardinal team have built a reputation in Orlando on one principle: show the work. When a technician arrives at your home in Baldwin Park, Metrowest, or Thornton Park, they hand you a written price before any equipment leaves the van. No re-quoting at the door, no add-on pitch. The number on that sheet is the number on your invoice.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every location runs under The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means you get a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photos of your own vent run, and a digital invoice you can pay from a link. No four-hour waiting windows. No mystery. Just a background-checked, uniformed tech who told you their name before they knocked.
Orlando homeowners call us because we bring professional-grade equipment to every job: Nikro HEPA vacuums and Rotobrush agitation tools, not a shop-vac and a prayer. You see the lint we pull out. You see the vent after we’re done. We serve Orlando from our metro office, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning team handles everything from single-family homes to 40-unit multifamily properties.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Orlando
Commercial dryer vent cleaning in Orlando covers laundromats, apartment complexes, hotels, and any property with shared laundry facilities. These systems run far more cycles than a residential vent, often six to ten loads a day per machine, and they fail faster. A commercial cleaning in Orlando typically runs $399 – $899 depending on the number of dryers, vent length, and accessibility. The first sentence of your quote sheet explains exactly what that covers.
We clean the full run from dryer connection to exterior cap, removing lint, debris, and any bird or rodent nesting. After cleaning, we camera-inspect the line and document it before and after. Property managers in areas like I-Drive and downtown Orlando trust us to keep their buildings safe and their dryers running at full efficiency, because a clogged commercial vent is a fire and liability risk, not just a slow dryer.
What the Commercial Service Includes
Every commercial job starts with a full vent system inspection and airflow test. We map the run, identify blockages or crushed sections, and quote a flat system price. Cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, so loosened lint goes into our containment unit, not into your laundry room. We also inspect lint screens, transition ducts, and exterior caps, and we recommend any needed repairs in the written report you receive.
When Orlando Property Managers Schedule Us
Most multifamily and commercial properties in Orlando schedule dryer vent cleaning on a six-to-twelve-month rotation. High-volume properties near tourist corridors often need quarterly service during peak season. If a dryer in your facility is taking two cycles to dry a load, or the exterior cap barely moves air, call us for a camera inspection and a quote. We’ll tell you honestly whether the vent needs cleaning now, or can wait.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Orlando
Dryer vent cleaning service in Orlando means a full-run cleaning, not a quick vacuum at the wall. We clean the entire vent path from the back of your dryer to the exterior cap, including long attic runs and roof terminations common in older Orlando homes. A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Orlando runs $149 – $289, one flat rate per system. That includes the full cleaning, camera inspection, and before-and-after photos.
Most Orlando dryer vents haven’t been professionally cleaned in years, if ever. Lint builds up in low spots along the run and near the cap, where a standard vacuum never reaches. Our process uses negative-pressure extraction with Nikro HEPA filtration, so the debris we loosen goes into our containment unit, not back into your laundry room. We finish with a camera inspection so you see the vent is clear, not just hear us say it.
Signs You Need This Service Now
If your dryer takes longer than 45 minutes to dry a regular load, if the exterior flap barely moves when the dryer runs, or if the laundry room feels humid after a cycle, your vent is likely restricted. A burning smell while drying is a sign to stop using the dryer and call a professional immediately. The lint you see at the trap is a fraction of what’s in the run.
What We’ll Check on Every Visit
We inspect the entire vent path with a camera, including the transition duct behind the dryer. We check for crushed or kinked sections, foil or vinyl duct that should be replaced with rigid metal, and any bird or rodent activity. We clean the full run and cap, then run an airflow test to confirm it’s moving at the right velocity for your dryer model.
Trusted Brands We Service in Orlando
We clean and service dryer vent systems connected to every major residential and commercial dryer brand, including Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, GE, Speed Queen, Electrolux, and Kenmore. We stock replacement caps, transition ducts, and bird guards for fast turnaround for Orlando customers. Our filtration and containment equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies meets the standard required for commercial work. Whether your dryer is a ten-year-old Kenmore in Conway or a Speed Queen stack in a Lake Buena Vista property, our team knows the vent configuration and failure points.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Orlando Homes
- Long vent runs that climb to the roofline. Much of Orlando’s housing stock – from 1950s College Park bungalows to 1980s ranch homes in Pine Hills – was built with dryer vent runs that terminate at the roof or a distant side wall. Lint settles in the low points and the last few feet near the cap, which is exactly where our camera inspection finds the worst buildup.
- Crushed or kinked transition ducts. The foil or vinyl hose behind the dryer gets crushed when a machine is pushed back against the wall, especially after a move. That kink becomes a lint trap right at the connection point, and it’s invisible unless you pull the dryer out or camera-inspect the run.
- Short-term rental cycles accelerating buildup. Orlando’s vacation rental market means some dryers run far more loads per year than a typical owner-occupied home. A unit in a short-term rental near the attractions sees in a month what most dryers see in a quarter, and that accelerated lint accumulation catches property managers by surprise.
- Birds and rodents in the exterior cap. Unprotected caps let birds, squirrels, and roof rats build nests inside the vent. A nest blocks airflow and can be a fire hazard. Our bird guard installation keeps the cap open and the critters out, and we see this issue constantly across Orlando neighborhoods from Audubon Park to Azalea Park.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Orlando, FL
In Orlando, a standard single-family home dryer vent cleaning runs $149 – $289. The price depends on three things: the length of the vent run, the number of floors or roof penetrations, and the level of buildup found during the camera inspection. A short back-wall vent in a newer Lake Nona home will be toward the low end. A long attic run to a roof cap in a 1960s College Park ranch will be higher.
Our price is a flat rate per system, agreed to in writing before any work begins. It does not change at the door. It includes the full cleaning with negative-pressure extraction and HEPA filtration, camera inspection, and before-and-after photos. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate on your specific vent run. We’ll tell you exactly what it costs, no trip charge for the quote.
