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 Pflugerville
Dryer vent cleaning in Pflugerville typically costs $145 – $265 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are finished in under two hours. The bigger variable here is the vent run itself. Homes in Windermere, Falcon Pointe, and Highland Park often have dryer vents that stretch 25 to 35 feet with multiple elbows, and that geometry changes how long the job takes and what it should cost. Our team knows Pflugerville’s housing stock well enough to quote you accurately before we arrive. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written price.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Pflugerville’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We built our reputation in Pflugerville on showing the work, not just doing it. Every job includes before-and-after photos of your actual vent pathway, and our technicians walk you through what they found before they leave. That transparency matters in a trade where plenty of crews quote a low teaser price and then hand you a much larger invoice once the van is parked in your driveway.
Our techs carry Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums, not a shop-vac strapped to the back of a truck. We run negative-pressure extraction on every Pflugerville job, which means the loosened lint goes straight into the vacuum instead of drifting back into your laundry room. You know the tech’s name before they knock on your door, and they arrive in uniform with a written price already prepared.
Scheduling is coordinated from our Austin metro office, but the crews serving Pflugerville work these neighborhoods every week. We answer calls with a live person around the clock, and you’ll get a live trackable arrival window when you book. Omar Haddad leads our team, and he holds every technician to the same standard: total visibility from booking to invoice.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pflugerville
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pflugerville tackles a different animal than the residential job. Laundromats, salons, gyms, and multifamily buildings off FM 685 and along Pecan Street run dryers for hours a day, which means lint builds up fast and the fire risk compounds. A commercial dryer vent in Pflugerville typically runs $400 – $900 depending on run length, access, and how many dryer drops are in the system. We clean the full pathway from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, and we provide photo documentation of every section for your records.
Laundromat and Multifamily Vent Systems
These buildings often share a common vent header, which means one clogged drop backs up the whole system. We clean each dryer drop individually and then the main header, using Abatement Technologies containment units to keep lint from recirculating through the building. Property managers in Pflugerville rely on this service to keep their fire inspection paperwork clean.
Restaurant and Salon Dryer Exhaust
Commercial dryers in salons and commercial kitchens push out more than lint: they carry oils, hair product residue, and grease vapor that bonds to the duct walls. That makes the build-up stickier and harder to remove than residential lint. We adjust our agitation approach for these buildings and document everything with photos so you have a maintenance record that holds up to scrutiny.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Pflugerville
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Pflugerville starts with a camera inspection of your vent run before we touch anything. We need to know what we’re dealing with: whether you have a straight side-wall run, a long multi-elbow run through the attic, or a roof-routed vent. That inspection tells us whether it’ll be a standard clean or a multi-stage job, and the price we quote you beforehand reflects that. A typical residential clean here runs $145 – $265.
Lint Removal and Vent Inspection
After the camera inspection, we set up negative pressure at the exterior termination and work the run with agitation tools from both ends. The loosened lint gets pulled straight out into the vacuum. We then inspect the full pathway again with the camera so you can see the before-and-after difference on our screen or in the photos we send you.
Roof Termination and Reroute Work
Newer Pflugerville homes in Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk often route dryer vents up through the roof, which means the exterior flap is harder to see and harder to maintain. We clean these runs from the roof access point and check that the roof cap moves freely. If your vent routing is a problem, we can quote a reroute or vent cap replacement so the system actually performs the way it should.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pflugerville
We service and clean dryer vent systems on every major appliance brand, from Whirlpool and LG to Samsung and Maytag. But the equipment we bring matters more than the dryer you own. Our trucks carry Rotobrush brush systems to agitate compacted lint, Nikro HEPA vacuums to pull it out under negative pressure, and Abatement Technologies containment units on commercial jobs. We keep common vent caps, flaps, and bird guards stocked on our trucks so a simple replacement doesn’t mean a second trip. Aprilaire filtration products are available for homes that want better air quality after the vent is clean.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Pflugerville Homes
- Long, multi-elbow runs packing lint at the bends: Homes built in the 1990s and 2000s across Highland Park, Windermere, and Settlers Ridge often have dryer vents that push 25 to 35 feet with two or three 90-degree elbows. Lint compacts at those elbows where a homeowner’s shop-vac can never reach, so the trap looks clean while the run is a fire hazard.
- Roof-routed vents in newer builds going neglected: Tight-build homes in Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk often route the dryer vent up through the roof with a short, mostly straight run. That gives a false sense of “nothing to clean,” so homeowners skip the service for years until the exterior flap stops opening and the dryer starts tripping its high-limit thermostat.
- Crushed or sagging flexible foil runs: We frequently find the original foil flex duct pinched behind the dryer or sagging across the attic floor. The restriction traps lint and moisture, and no amount of cleaning fixes it until the run is corrected. We flag this in our inspection and quote the fix separately.
- Bird and rodent nests at the exterior termination: Pflugerville’s greenbelts along Gilleland Creek and Lake Pflugerville mean plenty of birds and squirrels near homes. A missing flapper on a dryer vent cap is an open invitation. We install bird guards and replace vent caps so the system stays clear after we leave.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pflugerville, TX
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Pflugerville runs $145 – $265, and that is one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. We don’t charge per vent or per opening, and we don’t surprise you with a upsell after the fact. The main factors that push the price toward the top of that range are the length of your vent run, how many elbows it has, and whether it terminates on the roof instead of a side wall. Commercial jobs run $400 – $900 depending on system size and access. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a written price for your specific home before any work begins.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pflugerville
For most Pflugerville homes, every 12 to 18 months is realistic, and homes with long multi-elbow runs or roof-routed vents should lean toward the 12-month side. If your dryer takes more than one cycle to dry a normal load, the laundry room runs hot, or the exterior flap isn’t opening, it’s time now. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll inspect it with a camera before recommending any work.
We charge one flat price per system, never per vent or per opening. The written price you receive before we start is the price you pay when we finish. There’s no bait-and-switch when our tech is already standing in your laundry room, and no surprise upsell for supply and return ducts you never asked about.
Yes. Every job includes camera documentation of your vent pathway before we start and after we finish. You’ll see the lint we pulled out of your specific run, not a stock photo of someone else’s vent. That’s the Relay Standard, and it’s non-negotiable on every booking.
Yes. We clean commercial dryer vent systems at laundromats, gyms, salons, and multifamily properties throughout Pflugerville, including buildings near FM 685 and the commercial stretch along Pecan Street. These jobs typically run $400 – $900 and include photo documentation for your maintenance records. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule a commercial estimate.
Roof-routed vents, common in newer Pflugerville homes in Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk, are harder to clean because the entire run is harder to access. The exterior flap sits on your roof where you can’t see it, the run passes through conditioned attic space, and any blockage near the roof cap means working from the roof itself. We climb, inspect, and clean these runs properly rather than skipping the hard part.
What Pflugerville Homeowners Actually Ask Us
“Is my dryer vent actually clogged, or is it something else?”
We don’t guess. Every job starts with a camera inspection that shows you the inside of your vent run. If it’s packed with lint, you’ll see it on the screen before we ever put a tool in the wall. If the problem is a failing dryer thermostat or a crushed flex line, we’ll tell you that instead and point you in the right direction. No cleaning you don’t need.
“The last company quoted me $59 and then found ‘problems.’ What’s different here?”
That $59 quote is the bait. The real invoice gets built once the tech is inside and the fear is high. We don’t do that. We give you a written price for your specific system before any work starts, and that price includes the entire job. If we find something genuinely wrong that needs a repair, we’ll show you a photo of it and give you a separate written quote. You decide. No pressure, no scare tactics.
“How do I know the work was actually done?”
You’ll see it. We run the camera before and after, and you get the photos. We also show you the lint we pulled out of your vent. If the exterior flap needed a new cap or a bird guard, you’ll see that change too. Most Pflugerville homeowners are surprised by how much came out of a vent they thought was fine.
