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 West Lake Hills
Dryer vent cleaning in West Lake Hills typically runs $149 – $289 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in 60 – 90 minutes. That’s the honest range we quote before we arrive. If you live off Redbud Trail, Bee Cave Road, or along the backs of the Yaupon Drive hills, your vent is likely longer, steeper, and more clog-prone than most Texas homes. Call us at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team works throughout West Lake Hills weekly. We know these lots. We know the limestone walls, the long runs, and the roof terminations. More than that, we give you a written price before any work starts, and before-and-after photos of your own vent so you never have to wonder if the job was real.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is West Lake Hills’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning is part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005 and built around one principle: total visibility from booking to invoice. When you call us, a live person answers. You get a trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard, meaning the technician who shows up is background-checked, in uniform, and their name is sent to your phone before they pull into your driveway.
Our reputation in West Lake Hills comes from the same thing that matters everywhere: we clean what other companies miss. We use Rotobrush rotary agitation tools and Nikro HEPA-filtered negative pressure extraction, not a shop vac taped to the wall. Abatement Technologies containment units keep loosened lint from drifting back into your laundry room. The work is thorough because the equipment is professional-grade, and because we photograph everything.
Every single job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it applies to every booking without exception.
Scheduling to West Lake Hills takes one call. Our dispatch is coordinated from the brand’s Dallas-Fort Worth office, but crews serve West Lake Hills locally and know the streets. You won’t get a four-hour window. You’ll get a live arrival time you can track from your phone.
Dryer Vent Inspection in West Lake Hills
Dryer Vent Inspection in West Lake Hills is a camera-based examination of the entire vent run, from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination point, priced at $89 – $119 when booked as a standalone service. Many West Lake Hills homes have vent runs that climb through limestone walls and terminate on the roof, which means a visual check at the trap tells you almost nothing. Our inspection uses a flexible camera to locate blockages, crushed sections, disconnected joints, and bird or rodent debris anywhere along the run.
Camera Run and Airflow Check
We push a camera down the full length of the duct and record airflow at the termination. If the vent is a louvered roof cap, which is common on steep West Lake Hills lots, we check that the louvers still open and close properly. A 78746 home with a 30-foot run can hide a complete blockage well past where any homeowner could reach. The camera finds it in minutes.
Written Findings and a Flat Price
You get a written report with photos, and if cleaning is needed, you get one flat price per system before any work begins. No per-foot surcharges, no per-vent upgrades. The price quoted is the price you pay. If the vent is clean, we tell you that too, and we won’t sell you a cleaning you don’t need.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Lake Hills
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Lake Hills serves small multi-family buildings, laundry facilities, and businesses along Bee Cave Road and Westlake Drive that run multiple dryers or high-volume loads. Commercial jobs typically run $350 – $750 per system depending on the number of dryers, the length of shared ductwork, and the termination type. West Lake Hills commercial properties often have roof terminations with multiple lint-laden runs feeding into a common stack, which requires containment equipment and more time than a residential job.
Multi-Unit and Shared Stack Cleaning
When several dryers share a common vent, the risk compounds fast. Lint from one unit migrates into the shared trunk and bakes against hot duct walls. We clean from each dryer to the exterior point using Rotobrush agitation and HEPA extraction, then verify airflow at the termination. Property managers in West Lake Hills get before-and-after photo documentation for every run, so there’s a record that the liability was addressed.
Scheduled Maintenance Contracts
For commercial customers, we offer recurring cleaning schedules with written pricing locked in advance. No surprise invoices. If you manage a building in West Lake Hills with multiple laundry points, one phone call gets a flat per-system quote and a live arrival window. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to commercial work exactly as it does to residential.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Lake Hills
We clean and service dryer vent systems built around equipment from Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Maytag, GE, Speed Queen, and Electrolux. More importantly, we keep Guardsman louvered caps and common exterior termination parts on the truck so West Lake Hills customers don’t wait days for a replacement. If your vent cap is cracked, rusted, or caked shut with lint and West Texas pollen, we can usually swap it the same visit. The same goes for bird guards and backdraft dampers. Our technicians run Rotobrush brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums, and those brands matter because they mean the lint is actually extracted from the full run, not just loosened at the opening.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in West Lake Hills Homes
- Limestone-wall vent runs that hide lint far from the trap. On steep 78746 lots, dryer vents often angle through stone exterior walls and then run horizontally to a roof or soffit termination. The blockage that matters can sit 30 feet from the dryer, past any reachable point.
- Louvered roof caps packed shut with lint and pollen. West Lake Hills has heavy oak and juniper canopy. Pollen mixes with lint at the termination, glues the louvers shut, and forces the dryer to run hot and slow. Interior-only cleaning misses this entirely.
- Bird and rodent nesting at roof and soffit exits. The steep, wooded character of the area means birds and squirrels see a warm vent as real estate. We regularly pull nest material out of West Lake Hills terminations, especially in spring.
- DIY shop-vac attempts that leave the real blockage untouched. A homeowner can clear a bend at the back of the dryer. That’s rarely where the fire-feeding lint actually sits. Without camera verification, the vent still isn’t clean and the dryer still works too hard.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Lake Hills, TX
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in West Lake Hills runs $149 – $289 per system as one flat price agreed before work starts. That includes camera inspection before and after, full-run mechanical agitation, HEPA extraction, and verification of airflow at the exterior termination. If your vent is a long roof run over 30 feet, has a packed roof cap, or needs bird guard installation, the quote adjusts to reflect the work, but you’ll see the number in writing before we touch a single vent. Dryer vent inspection alone runs $89 – $119. Bird guard installation adds $45 – $85 depending on the cap size. Commercial systems run $350 – $750. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate. The price we quote is the price you pay.
We’ll never bid by the foot or by the vent on a West Lake Hills home. Your limestone-walled run could be 8 feet or 38 feet, and per-foot pricing is built to inflate. One flat price. Written down. That’s the only way Cardinal quotes.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Lake Hills
Once a year for most West Lake Hills homes, and twice a year if your vent exits through a long limestone run or terminates on the roof. The 78746 housing stock has longer and more concealed runs than typical Texas suburbs, so lint accumulates out of sight. If your dryer takes longer than 45 minutes on a towel load or the exterior louvers don’t move when the dryer is running, the vent is overdue. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule a camera inspection first, so you only pay for cleaning if cleaning is actually needed.
Because per-foot and per-vent pricing is built to expand once the tech is already on site and the run turns out to be long or difficult. West Lake Hills homes have wildly variable vent lengths because of the limestone and steep lots, so per-foot quotes are a trap by design. We quote one flat price per system before work begins, based on the camera inspection, and it does not change at the door. That’s part of the written price you get through The Relay Standard, and it’s non-negotiable on every job.
Yes, and the main differences are scale, containment, and documentation. A commercial system in West Lake Hills, like a multi-unit building or laundry facility on Bee Cave Road, often has shared duct trunks and roof terminations that require containment equipment and longer cleaning passes. Prices run $350 – $750 per system as a flat quote. You get the same 365-Day Done Right Promise and the same before-and-after photo proof of every run, which matters a lot when tenants, insurance, or a property manager need a record. Call (737) 727-2314 and tell us how many dryers are connected and where the terminations sit.
No, and we want to be direct about why. Dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled trade, and doing it right means bringing Rotobrush agitation tools, Nikro HEPA extraction units, and a camera system to document the full run. A rushed, same-day promise usually means a tech with a shop vac and a short snake, and that misses the lint that actually causes fires. We’ll get you scheduled at the next honest available slot with a live arrival window you can track, not a vague promise. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll find the first real opening.
Yes. Every job includes before-and-after photos of your own vent run, taken with our camera, along with a written airflow verification at the exterior termination. That means you see the lint-packed section we cleared, see the clean duct after, and see your roof cap or louvered termination functioning. The proof is part of the Relay Standard booking experience. If anything isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. Call (737) 727-2314 to book with proof included.
