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 San Antonio
Dryer vent cleaning in San Antonio typically costs $110 – $195 for a standard single-story home with a straight vent run, and most jobs are completed in under an hour. If your dryer takes two full cycles to dry towels, or you can’t remember the last time the vent was touched, it’s time. We serve San Antonio neighborhoods including Deerfield, Mirada, and Winthrop Village with written pricing before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
We’re not a call-center operation. Omar Haddad leads our Dryer Vent Cleaning team, and every job gets a live arrival window you can track, before-and-after photos of your own vent, and a digital invoice payable by link. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies in San Antonio just like everywhere else we work.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is San Antonio’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Homeowners in San Antonio know their climate is a little different from the rest of Florida. High humidity year-round means lint doesn’t dry out and blow through easily. It clumps. It sticks. It seals itself to the duct walls. That’s why our technicians arrive with Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA vacuums rather than a leaf blower and a prayer.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every location is independently owned but held to the same standard: written price before work begins, background-checked uniformed techs, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no exceptions.
Our San Antonio customers call us back because the process is predictable. You’ll know your technician’s name before they arrive. You’ll see the live arrival window update as they drive. And when the job is done, you’ll have photos of the inside of your vent, not just a receipt.
Dryer Vent Inspection in San Antonio
Dryer Vent Inspection in San Antonio is a full look at the entire vent run, not a glance at the outside flap. That distinction matters. A vent can look fine from the exterior while the middle of the run, maybe through the attic of a ranch home off Curley Road, is packed with lint. We run a camera down the full length, check airflow at the termination point, and show you what we find.
Most inspections cost $59 – $99 when done as a standalone service, and the fee is applied toward the cleaning if you book it the same visit. Realistically, if the home hasn’t had its vent serviced in three or more years, an inspection usually turns into a cleaning 15 minutes later. We’ll show you the camera feed and let you decide.
When a San Antonio Home Needs an Inspection
You’re noticing longer drying times but the lint screen is clean. The outdoor flap barely moves when the dryer runs. There’s a faint musty smell in the laundry room. Any of those is a reason to have the run inspected before it becomes an emergency.
What the Inspection Covers
We measure static pressure at the termination, scope the full interior with a camera, check every seam and connection between the dryer and the exit point, and confirm the termination cap opens and closes correctly. You get a plain-English summary of what’s clean, what’s borderline, and what needs attention right now.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Antonio
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Antonio is a different animal from residential work, and it’s where a lot of companies in this area fall short. Laundromats on State Road 52, salons, fitness centers, and apartment complexes run dryers far harder than any home ever will. Lint builds faster, runs go farther, and the code requirements are stricter.
Most commercial jobs in San Antonio run $195 – $450 per dryer stack depending on run length, access, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. We’ll give you that number in writing before we touch the first connection. For multi-unit properties, we schedule during off-hours so tenants aren’t losing machines during the day.
Multi-Unit and Property Management Accounts
We work with property managers across San Antonio who need documented cleaning on a regular cadence. Every job includes a digital report with before-and-after photos, airflow measurements, and a signed service record. That’s the kind of documentation insurance carriers and inspectors want to see.
Restaurant and Salon Dryer Systems
These are the grimiest vents in San Antonio, hands down. Heat, moisture, product residue, and constant use turn lint into a dense mat that static pressure alone won’t move. We use Rotobrush agitation with negative-pressure extraction to pull the debris out rather than pushing it deeper into the run.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Antonio
We clean and maintain dryer vent systems on every major appliance brand you’ll find in San Antonio homes, including Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, GE, and Speed Queen. Our techs stock the common replacement parts San Antonio homeowners need most: termination caps, bird guards, flex duct transitions, and foil tape rated for dryer exhaust. We carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and for homes with compromised indoor air quality we can recommend Guardsman filtration products. If your vent cap is crushed, rusted out, or missing entirely, we’ll usually have the right replacement on the truck.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in San Antonio Homes
- Sticky lint mats in long attic runs. San Antonio’s humidity causes lint to retain moisture and adhere to duct walls. A 20-foot horizontal run through a hot attic turns into a solid clog faster than you’d think, and a leaf blower will never move it.
- The false reassurance of a wiggling outside flap. Lint can pack the middle of the run while the termination flap still swings freely. If you’re checking the flap and calling it good, you’re missing the clog. A camera doesn’t miss it.
- Flex duct that’s crushed or disconnected behind the dryer. We see this constantly, especially in Deerfield and Mirada homes where dryers get pushed back after cleaning the lint screen. If the flex run is kinked, airflow collapses no matter how clean the rest of the vent is.
- Vent terminations that are too close to a soffit or covered by a screen. San Antonio’s newer construction sometimes places terminations in spots that collect lint and debris fast. We’ll reroute or replace when it’s warranted, and install a bird guard when it’s not.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Antonio, FL
Let’s talk actual numbers for San Antonio. A standard single-family home with a straightforward vent run costs $110 – $195. If your dryer sits on an exterior wall with a short direct run, you’re at the low end. If the run travels through the attic or a crawl space and it hasn’t been cleaned in years, you’re at the higher end. Multi-story homes run higher still because access takes longer.
That’s the whole-system price. We don’t charge per vent, we don’t add a “deep cleaning” surcharge when we’re already inside, and the number we hand you before work starts is the number you pay. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll quote your specific layout in about five minutes.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Antonio
Once every 12 to 18 months for a typical San Antonio household. If you have a large family, run the dryer daily, or have a long attic run, every 12 months is the safer interval. Humidity accelerates lint accumulation here, so the national “every two years” advice runs too long for this climate.
San Antonio’s humid subtropical climate keeps moisture in the air year-round, and that moisture transfers to the lint in your dryer exhaust. Damp lint sticks to duct walls instead of blowing through, building dense clogs that resist low-pressure cleaning methods. Call (737) 727-2314 if this sounds familiar, and we’ll walk you through an inspection.
We start with a camera inspection to see what’s in the run, then use Rotobrush agitation to break the lint loose while a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulls it out under negative pressure. Nothing gets pushed into the attic or blown into the termination cap. Afterward, we verify airflow with a meter and show you before-and-after photos.
One flat price per system, quoted in writing before we touch the dryer. We don’t charge per vent, per foot, or per level. The price Omar Haddad or his team hands you is the final invoice.
It’s necessary when the vent is actually clogged. It’s not necessary if a camera inspection shows a clear run. That’s the honest answer, and it’s why we inspect first and recommend cleaning only when the footage warrants it. Sometimes we talk ourselves out of a job, and we’re fine with that. If you’d like a straight answer about your own vent, call (737) 727-2314.
