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 Rockville
Dryer vent cleaning in Rockville, CT typically runs $149 to $289 for a standard single-dryer home, and the job takes about 60 to 90 minutes from setup to final camera check. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a towel, the problem is rarely the dryer. In Rockville’s Hockanum River valley homes, the vent run itself is usually the culprit, and we fix that with professional-grade equipment and a flat price agreed before we touch a single duct. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Rockville’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Rockville homeowners call us because we do the job the way it should be done, with a camera inspection before and after, a written price before work starts, and before-and-after photos of the homeowner’s own duct, not a stock photo. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team works with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA-rated extraction units, so the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum and never back into your laundry room. Omar Haddad leads the team with a simple rule: if the work isn’t done right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That is the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every booking without exception.
We know Rockville’s housing stock. Split-levels off Route 74, capes near Henry Park, ranches tucked into the hills above the Hockanum, and older Colonials along Grove Street all have different vent-run geometry. A tech who knows the difference between a short vertical run and a 22-foot horizontal valley-basement run is the difference between a real cleaning and a shop-vac wave at the first few feet of pipe.
Dryer Vent Repair in Rockville
Dryer Vent Repair in Rockville usually means one of three things: a crushed or sagging transition hose behind the dryer, a broken or stuck backdraft damper at the exterior hood, or a separated joint somewhere along a long horizontal run that is leaking lint into the basement. We see all three regularly in Rockville homes, especially in finished-basement houses where the duct disappears behind drywall and nobody has looked at it in ten years. A repair visit starts with a camera inspection to find the actual failure point, then we quote the repair as a flat price per system, handed to you in writing before any work begins. Rockville homeowners pay between $120 and $410 for most dryer vent repairs, depending on whether we are replacing a transition hose, a vent cap, or repairing a section of rigid duct.
Vent Cap Replacement and Bird Guards
Rockville sits in a heavily treed river valley, and that means birds, squirrels, and wasps find exterior vent hoods quickly. A missing or damaged louvered cap lets in nests, rain, and cold air, and in winter a flapping plastic damper freezes open on some north-facing walls. We install proper metal louvered caps and bird guards, and we stock common sizes locally so the fix is usually done in one visit.
Vent Rerouting for Long Rockville Runs
When a dryer run in a Rockville finished basement goes 20 feet with three elbows and dumps out a side wall, it is working against physics. We can reroute rigid duct to shorten the path, reduce elbows, or reposition the exit to a better wall, which cuts cycle times and makes future cleanings far easier. Rerouting jobs are priced as their own flat per-system quote after we map the current run.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Rockville
As a Dryer Vent Cleaning Company serving Rockville, we operate on the Relay Standard: a live arrival window you can track from your phone, a background-checked uniformed technician whose name you know before they knock, and a digital invoice you can pay with a link. We do not sell per-vent pricing. A flat price per system is handed to you in writing before any work starts, and it does not change at the door. Most Rockville dryer vent cleanings run $149 to $289 for a typical single-dryer home, with the final number set by run length and elbow count, which we confirm during a walkthrough, not after the fact.
Omar Haddad and the crew work section by section rather than ramming a snake through once and calling it clean. We pull the brush through, extract with the Nikro HEPA vacuum at negative pressure, then camera the full run and show you what came out. That is what total visibility means.
The No-Per-Vent Pricing Difference
Cheap per-vent pricing breaks down in Rockville because the cost driver is not the number of vents. It is how long and twisted the runway behind the wall actually is. A short vertical stack and a 22-foot valley-basement run are not the same job, and quoting the same price for both means one customer overpays and the other gets a shortcut.
Camera Inspection on Every Job
We never clean blind. The camera tells us where the packed lint sits, whether the duct is damaged, and whether the run has a low spot where moisture and lint are caking together. After cleaning, we camera again so you see the full diameter restored and the hood flowing. It is proof of work, not a promise of work.
Trusted Brands We Service in Rockville
We clean and repair vents connected to every major dryer brand found in Rockville homes: LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Electrolux, and Speed Queen. Whether your machine is a gas or electric model, the vent path gets the same camera inspection and the same flat per-system price. We also carry Guardsman filtration products for homeowners who want dryer exhaust filtration where a full exterior reroute is not practical.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Rockville Homes
- Long horizontal runs under finished basements. The Hockanum River valley’s wet-basement pattern pushed many Rockville laundry rooms into finished lower levels, which means long horizontal runs with multiple elbows. Lint settles in the low spots instead of falling back to the trap, and cycle times climb.
- Side-wall hoods that get blocked by snow and ice. Rockville winters put side-wall vents at risk of frozen dampers and ice-blocked hoods, especially on the north side of a house. A blocked hood forces hot moist air back into the run, where it cakes lint into a hard layer.
- Nesting animals in uncapped vents. Birds and squirrels in the tree-heavy neighborhoods around Henry Park and the Hockanum gorge find uncapped or damaged vent hoods quickly. We remove nests and install metal guards on the same visit.
- Crushed transition hoses behind the dryer. In Rockville’s split-levels and ranches, the laundry closet is often tight, and the flexible hose behind the machine gets crushed against the wall. That kink alone can cut airflow by more than half before the duct even starts.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rockville, CT
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Rockville runs $149 to $289 for most single-dryer homes. Vent repairs like cap or bird guard replacement run $120 to $410 depending on the failure. Rerouting a long run is quoted per system after we map the current path. What moves your price is run length, elbow count, and accessibility. A short vertical run through an exterior wall costs less than a 22-foot horizontal run under a finished basement ceiling. We hand you a written price before any work starts, and it does not change.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rockville
Most standard single-dryer vent cleanings in Rockville cost between $149 and $289. The number is set by run length, elbow count, and accessibility, and we confirm it with a written price before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate specific to your home.
Most Rockville homes need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 24 months, with the shorter interval applying to long horizontal runs, finished-basement laundry rooms, or households that dry heavily every day. If your run is short and straight and you clean the lint trap with every load, two years is realistic. If your dryer is taking two cycles, clean the vent before you replace the dryer.
In Rockville’s valley homes, the usual cause is a long horizontal vent run with packed lint that never reaches the trap. The dryer itself is fine; the airway is choked. A camera inspection will show exactly where the blockage sits and how much diameter remains. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule a cleaning and camera check.
Yes, we repair dryer vents in Rockville, including crushed transition hoses, broken dampers, vent cap replacement, bird guard installation, and full rerouting of long runs. Repairs are quoted as a flat per-system price after the camera inspection, and every repair carries a written guarantee plus a free second visit if it fails.
Yes. On a recent call off Grove Street in Rockville, our tech pulled a Rotobrush rotary brush through a 22-foot dryer run that dropped under a finished basement ceiling, then climbed out a side wall. A camera inspection showed the line was down to roughly a third of its diameter in packed lint. We worked it in sections, verified airflow at the hood, and showed the homeowner before-and-after photos of their own duct, not a stock picture. Every Cardinal job includes before-and-after photo proof, and the photos are yours to keep. Call (737) 727-2314 to book.
