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
Dryer vent cleaning in Palmetto, GA typically runs $149 – $289 for a standard single-dryer home, and most jobs are completed in 60 – 90 minutes. That price covers the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior cap, not a quick blow-out at one end. Palmetto sits at the junction of US-29 and SR-154 in old railroad country, and the housing stock here has a lot of ranch homes and mid-century builds where dryers sit against interior walls with long horizontal vent runs through hot attics. Those runs collect lint faster than people expect, and when they clog, drying times stretch and fire risk climbs. We know these homes because we work in them every week. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work starts.
Whether your dryer backs up to an exterior wall off Collinsworth Road or you’re running a vent through the attic near Ramah Church Road, the job starts with an honest look at what’s actually in the duct. We serve all of Palmetto, from the Historic Downtown district off Main Street to the newer subdivisions around Bethlehem Road and out toward I-85.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Palmetto’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team works in Palmetto homes where attics routinely push past 120 degrees in July and August. That heat is the enemy of flexible foil and vinyl transition ducts. It sags them, crimps them, and creates lint traps that a standard exterior shop-vac pass will never reach. We bring camera inspection equipment into every job because we know what Palmetto’s attics do to ductwork.
Every Palmetto booking runs on The Relay Standard, which means you get a live trackable arrival time, a written price before any tool comes off the truck, and before-and-after photos of your own duct run when the work is done. Omar Haddad leads our team, and every technician who shows up at a Palmetto door is background-checked, uniformed, and carrying professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. No subcontractor roulette, no mystery crew.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and we back every dryer vent cleaning with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Palmetto
Dryer Vent Inspection in Palmetto is a camera walkthrough of your entire vent run, and it’s the one service we recommend for every home here that hasn’t had its dryer vent looked at in the last two years. A typical inspection in Palmetto runs $79 – $129, and it tells you exactly what’s inside the duct before you spend a dollar on cleaning. For homes with hot attic runs, the inspection usually reveals a problem the homeowner couldn’t see from either end: a crimped transition, a disconnected joint, or a bird nest at the cap.
What the Camera Sees
Our tech runs a small camera from the dryer connection all the way to the exterior cap. You see the same footage we see. If there’s a crushed foil duct behind the dryer or lint caked along the top of a sagging attic run, you’ll know it in real time.
When to Book One
If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load, the vent feels warm to the touch while running, or you smell a musty odor when the dryer’s on, book an inspection. In Palmetto’s summer heat, these symptoms show up faster than they do in cooler climates.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto covers laundromats, salons, daycares, apartment complexes, and any business on US-29 or SR-154 that runs one or more dryers on a daily basis. Commercial jobs in Palmetto typically run $299 – $599 per dryer run depending on run length, accessibility, and the number of dryers. We clean multi-stack runs, roof vents, and commercial-grade ducting with the same flat-price standard we use on homes.
Multi-Dryer Systems
Multiple dryers feeding a common duct need coordinated cleaning. We clean the full shared run plus each individual drop, and we document every section with photos so you can see lint removal at the roof cap, not just at the dryer.
Compliance and Documentation
For Palmetto businesses, we provide written documentation of the cleaning with before-and-after photos. That paper trail matters when insurance inspections come around or when a lease requires annual dryer vent maintenance.
Trusted Brands We Service in Palmetto
We work on dryers and vent systems from every major manufacturer, and we stock common transition ducts, caps, and bird guards on our trucks so Palmetto customers don’t wait on a parts order. Our crews run Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for negative-pressure extraction and Abatement Technologies containment units where needed. If your dryer is a Maytag, LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, GE, or Speed Queen, we know the vent configuration and common failure points. If your vent cap is a Lambro, Dundas Jafine, or Deflecto, we carry replacements. The goal is one visit, one flat price, done right.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Palmetto Homes
- Crushed foil transition ducts in hot attics. Palmetto’s attic temperatures above 120 degrees cause flexible vinyl and foil transitions to soften, sag, and crimp. Lint piles up behind the crimp and the dryer starts overheating. A camera inspection catches this in minutes.
- Long horizontal runs on ranch homes. Many Palmetto ranches have dryers sitting against interior walls with 15 to 25 feet of vent run to the exterior. The longer the run, the more lint settles out before it leaves the cap. These homes need cleaning more often than a two-story with a short wall exit.
- Bird and rodent nests at the cap. The warm, lint-filled cap is a perfect nesting site. We see starlings and sparrows building into vent caps around Palmetto’s older neighborhoods, especially off Carlton Road and near the railroad corridor.
- Per-vent pricing that skipped the real problem. We’ve followed other companies’ work and found a single vent section cleaned while the rest of the run stayed packed. That’s what happens when the price depends on how many vents you have. Our flat price covers the entire run.

We ran a dryer vent cleaning in the Historic Downtown Palmetto area off Main Street, where a client’s dryer was taking two full cycles to dry a load. Our tech pulled the transition behind the dryer and found a crushed foil duct sagging into a hot attic run, then used a Rotobrush agitation tool under negative pressure with final HEPA filtration to pull the lint out of the full run, and showed the homeowner before-and-after photographs of their own duct. The dryer was back to a single normal cycle.
That’s what flat-price, full-run cleaning looks like in Palmetto. We don’t blow out one section and call it done. We clean the entire lint pathway from dryer to cap, and we prove it with your own photos.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto
Most Palmetto homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months. The hot attic runs common in our ranch and mid-century housing stock cause lint to accumulate faster than it does in cooler climates, so if you haven’t had your vent cleaned in over two years, it’s likely overdue. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you decide based on your home’s run length and dryer usage.
We charge one flat price per system, never per vent. Your written quote covers the full dryer vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, including any transition duct inside the house. No per-vent add-ons, no price that shifts once we’re in the attic.
Palmetto’s summertime attic temperatures regularly exceed 120 degrees, which softens flexible foil and vinyl transition ducts and causes them to sag and crimp. These crimps trap lint and reduce airflow, making your dryer work harder and increasing fire risk. Our camera inspections specifically look for heat-related duct damage that a simple exterior cleaning would miss.
