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 Palm Beach
Dryer vent cleaning in West Palm Beach typically costs $139 – $269 for a standard single-family home and takes about 60 – 90 minutes from setup to before-and-after photo documentation. The real issue here isn’t just lint volume, it’s what the salt air does to it. We run Rotobrush agitation tools paired with Nikro HEPA filtration so the loosened debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and we operate under The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means a live trackable arrival window before we show up, before-and-after photos of your actual vent run, and a written price handed to you before a single tool comes off the truck. No bait pricing, no fogging upsell pitch. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and you’ll know the tech’s name before they open the door.
West Palm Beach homeowners call us because we understand this specific coastal climate. Homes along Flagler Drive, El Cid, and Flamingo Park deal with salt-crusted vent hoods and damp, matted lint that inland towns like Royal Palm Beach simply don’t see at the same rate. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team carries replacement vent caps, bird guards, and rigid duct transitions on the truck, so most jobs are completed in a single visit. Omar Haddad set the standard for this crew: show up on time, name the price, do the work, prove it with photos.
Dryer Vent Inspection in West Palm Beach
Dryer Vent Inspection in West Palm Beach is a camera-scoped look at the full vent run, from the dryer’s flex transition to the exterior hood, and it costs $89 when booked as a standalone service. Coastal homes off South Dixie Highway and near the Intracoastal often have corrosion at the hood that a visual check from outside misses entirely. We snake a camera through the run and show you what it sees on the spot.
What the camera actually looks for
We check the flex transition for crush points, the rigid run for lint accumulation and moisture staining, and the exterior hood for salt corrosion or a seized flap. A crushed foil elbow behind the dryer is the single most common airflow killer in West Palm Beach homes, especially in older 1950s and 1960s ranch builds where the laundry closet was never sized for modern dryer depths.
When an inspection saves you money
If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a normal load, or the laundry room feels humid while the machine runs, an inspection tells you whether you need a cleaning or a repair. Paying for a full cleaning when the real problem is a collapsed transition is wasted money. We tell you which one you actually need.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Palm Beach
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Palm Beach covers laundromats, condo association laundry rooms, multi-family buildings, and hotel laundry facilities. Pricing for commercial runs starts around $329 and scales with the number of dryer units, the length of the vent run, and roof access requirements. Buildings along Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard and in the Northwood area run multiple dryers off shared riser stacks, which means lint from every unit accumulates in common ductwork.
Condo and HOA laundry rooms
For condo boards and property managers, documentation matters. We provide photo evidence of the entire run before and after, plus a written report, so the association has a compliance record for insurance and fire-safety requirements. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to commercial work as well, if the vent clogs again within a year we return and correct it at no charge.
Laundromat stack cleaning
Multi-dryer stacks create lint volume far beyond a residential build-up. We use Abatement Technologies containment units to keep the lint we’re extracting from spreading through the facility, and Nikro HEPA vacuums to capture it at the extraction point. A fogging service cannot touch this kind of accumulation; it needs source removal, which is exactly what we do.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We service every major dryer brand you’ll find in West Palm Beach laundry rooms, including LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Electrolux, and Speed Queen, whether it’s a home unit off Belvedere Road or a commercial stack in a laundromat. The brand of dryer doesn’t change the vent physics, but the transition length and hood design often do. We stock common replacement parts for West Palm Beach jobs on the truck, so a corroded hood or collapsed foil elbow gets fixed the same visit instead of turning into a second appointment. For filtration upgrades we carry Honeywell and Aprilaire products where a homeowner wants either media filtration or a better hood assembly than the builder-grade flap they have now.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Damp, salt-packed lint felt. West Palm Beach sits between the Atlantic and the Lake Worth Lagoon, so dryer vents pull humid, salt-laden air through the lint pathway every cycle. Lint mats into a dense, damp felt far faster than the dry, fluffy lint seen inland, and it hardens against the duct walls like cheap carpet padding.
- Crushed flex transitions behind the dryer. Older homes in neighborhoods like Grandview Heights and Sunshine Park were built for smaller dryers. Modern machines jam against the wall and crush the foil or vinyl transition, cutting airflow by more than half before the lint even reaches the main run.
- Salt-corroded exterior hoods. The metal flap on the outside vent gets pitted and seized by salt air, especially on Flagler Drive and anywhere within a quarter mile of the Intracoastal. A stuck flap means hot, humid outside air never stops flowing back into the vent, which makes the lint inside wetter and stickier.
- Bird and rodent nests at the hood or mid-run. A missing or broken vent cap off Okeechobee Boulevard invites birds and squirrels into the warm exhaust path. Nests don’t just block airflow, they’re a direct fire fuel sitting in the hottest part of the run.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Palm Beach
Because your vent is pulling in salt-laden air from the Atlantic and the Lake Worth Lagoon. That moisture makes lint stick to the duct walls and mat into a dense felt, while salt accelerates corrosion on the hood and flex transition. Inland homes get dry, fluffy lint that slides further down the run before settling. Your friend will also need a cleaning eventually, but you’ll see the warning signs sooner. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll scope it and tell you exactly how bad it is.
No. A fogging sanitiser is not source removal and it does nothing to clear the lint, felt, or nesting material from inside the run. It’s an add-on service that some companies pitch as a cleaning alternative, but the fire risk and airflow blockage remain untouched. What actually works is mechanical agitation with a rotary brush plus negative-pressure extraction, which pulls the loosened debris straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum, not back into your laundry room. If someone offers you a fog instead of a clean, the lint is still in the wall.
Empty the lint trap and run one cycle. If a normal load still isn’t dry in one go, the problem is beyond the trap. The trap catches a fraction of what builds up, the damp, salt-packed felt deep in the run never makes it there, so it just accumulates. Other warning signs: the dryer feels hot to the touch on top, the laundry room gets humid while the machine runs, or the exterior hood flap doesn’t open when it’s spinning. We can put a camera in the run and show you in 30 seconds whether it’s clean or clogged.
Yes. We clean commercial dryer vent runs in laundromats, condo laundry rooms, and multi-family buildings across West Palm Beach. Pricing starts at $329 and depends on the number of dryers, the run length, and roof access. We use Abatement Technologies containment and Nikro HEPA extraction so the lint doesn’t spread through the facility, and we document the entire run with before-and-after photos for the property manager or HOA board. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers commercial jobs without exception.
We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units on commercial work. For filtration and hood upgrades we stock Honeywell and Aprilaire products, and we carry replacement vent caps and bird guards on the truck. We were called to a home on Flagler Drive where the homeowner complained clothes took two cycles in a 6-year-old dryer; our tech pulled the flex transition off the wall and found damp, salt-crusted felt plus a collapsed foil elbow, then ran a camera down the full run and cleared it with agitation tools and negative pressure to a HEPA unit. Dry time dropped back to one cycle and the exterior hood flap finally opened freely. The equipment does the work; the technician proves it with photos.
