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 Palmetto Bay
Dryer vent cleaning in Palmetto Bay typically costs $149 – $289 for a standard single-family home, and Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning books most jobs within a few days, not weeks. If you’re in Palmetto Bay and your dryer takes two cycles to dry towels, that’s the first sign of a lint-restricted vent. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
We know Palmetto Bay’s homes because we work them. Canal-front properties off Old Cutler Road, the 70s-era ranch houses near Coral Reef Park, the newer builds east of US-1 around the Village of Palmetto Bay: each has its own vent-run quirks. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning crew carries camera inspection gear on every truck, so you see exactly what we see before and after.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Palmetto Bay’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Palmetto Bay homeowners call us back because we show the work. Every job includes before-and-after camera photos of your vent run, so you’re not taking someone’s word that the lint is gone. That matters in a village where a lot of homes share the same built environment: concrete block construction on slab foundations, with vent runs that snake through attics, walls, or under-slab channels. We’ve cleaned enough of them to know where the blockages hide.
Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform with professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment where needed. You know the tech’s name before the door opens.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005. That means every Palmetto Bay booking runs on The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. A written price is handed to you before a single duct is touched, and it does not change at the door.
And if the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise. It covers every job, not select ones. Omar Haddad, who leads our crew, signs off on that standard for every Palmetto Bay home we service.
Dryer Vent Repair in Palmetto Bay
Dryer Vent Repair in Palmetto Bay usually means one of three things: a collapsed or crushed section of duct, a corroded metal run, or a damaged vent cap. Canal-front and irrigated-lot homes near Deering Estate see more corrosion than inland houses because salt air eats at foil and galvanized duct joints. A crushed foil run behind a dryer in a Palmetto Bay laundry room can cut airflow by half before you notice anything beyond longer dry times. Repairs here typically run $89 – $220 depending on what’s damaged. When we replace foil with rigid duct, we check static pressure at the blower motor afterward to confirm the system is moving air the way it should.
Camera Inspection Before Any Repair
We don’t guess. A camera inspection reveals exactly where the run is collapsed, clogged, or corroded, and we show you the footage. In older canal-front homes, we often find foil sections that look fine from the outside but are pinched or degraded inside the wall or attic chase.
Rigid Duct Replacement and Cap Work
Where foil has collapsed or salt has corroded the run, we replace it with rigid duct that won’t crush. We also replace damaged vent caps and can reroute a run that was poorly routed originally, so lint doesn’t settle in a low spot you’ll be cleaning again in six months.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Palmetto Bay
As a Dryer Vent Cleaning Company serving Palmetto Bay specifically, Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning does source removal, not surface brushing. That means the lint cake stuck to the duct walls comes out, not just the loose stuff in the first three feet. A standard cleaning in Palmetto Bay runs $149 – $289 for a single-family home, depending on run length and access. If your vent is caked with damp, salt-laced lint, the job takes longer, and we’ll tell you the price before we start.
Full-Run Cleaning, Not Just the Trap
We clean the entire pathway from the dryer connection to the exterior vent. In Palmetto Bay slab homes, part of that run often passes below the floor or through the attic, and that’s where lint packs. If we only cleaned what’s easy to reach, we’d leave you the exact section that causes fires.
Camera-Verified Before We Leave
After cleaning, the camera goes back in. You see the before and after on the spot. No fog, no mystery, no “trust us.” The work is documented, and you keep the photos.
Trusted Brands We Service in Palmetto Bay
Our crews service dryer vent systems on residential laundry setups across Palmetto Bay, and we stock common replacement parts locally, which means we’re not waiting on a warehouse in another county. We work with professional equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and we install filtration products from Aprilaire and Guardsman where a homeowner wants improved air quality. We also carry Abatement Technologies containment for jobs that need it. If you know the brand of your dryer or vent cap, mention it when you call: it helps us bring the right materials the first time.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Palmetto Bay Homes
- Damp, clumped lint from canal humidity. Palmetto Bay’s canal-front and irrigated-lot homes pull humidity into vent runs. Lint absorbs that moisture and mats against duct walls, which restricts airflow faster than dry lint. We find this most often in homes off Old Cutler Road and around the Deering Estate area.
- Collapsed foil runs in older ranch homes. Many 1970s-era homes around Coral Reef Park and east of US-1 still have original foil vent runs. Foil crushes easily behind the dryer or inside wall cavities, and the homeowner sees longer dry times without knowing why.
- Salt-corroded vent caps and metal sections. Coastal air corrodes vent caps and duct joints over time. A corroded cap can stick shut or let rain in, and a corroded metal run can develop rough spots that catch lint faster. We see this in canal-front properties more than inland homes.
- Bird screens and guards packed with lint. Exterior vent openings in Palmetto Bay collect lint, leaves, and debris. A clogged screen backs up the entire run. We replace or repair screens during a cleaning when they’ve gone too far.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto Bay
Palmetto Bay dryer vents clog faster because of humidity and salt air from the canals and irrigated lots. That moisture makes lint clump and stick inside the vent run instead of blowing through. Homes near the Deering Estate and along Old Cutler Road see this earlier than inland Miami-Dade houses. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact assessment.
No, a fogging sanitizer does not remove lint. It masks odors at best and does nothing to the caked lint that causes dryer fires. The only thing that actually cleans a dryer vent is source removal: agitating the lint off the duct walls and extracting it with a HEPA vacuum. We camera-verify the run after cleaning so you can see the difference for yourself.
Most Palmetto Bay homes should have dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months. Canal-front and irrigated-lot homes with higher humidity often need it annually. If your dryer takes longer than one cycle to dry a normal load, that’s the signal to book a cleaning now.
