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 Addison
Dryer vent cleaning in Addison typically runs $149 – $289 for a single-family home and $249 – $599 for commercial or multifamily stacks, depending on run length and termination access. Most residential jobs in Addison take 60 – 90 minutes; commercial work along the Dallas North Tollway corridor often runs longer because those vents terminate on rooftops. If you own or manage property anywhere from Addison Circle to the restaurant rows near Belt Line Road, call us at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Addison’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Addison is a small town by square mileage but dense with restaurants, hotels, and mid-rise apartments. That shapes how we work here. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team has spent enough time on Addison roofs and in Addison laundry rooms to know which buildings hide long lateral runs and which ones terminate straight up through a rooftop cap. Property managers near Quorum Drive and the Addison Conference Centre call us because we scope by camera first, quote one flat price per system, and hand over before-and-after photos on the spot.
Omar Haddad runs our crews with a simple rule: no technician quotes a job until they’ve seen the actual vent pathway. That matters in Addison specifically because a restaurant stack venting from a back-of-house laundry can run 40 feet or more, with multiple elbows and a screened termination cap that acts like a lint trap. We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every booking here carries The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live trackable arrival window, photo documentation, and a written price before a single tool comes off the truck.
When you book with us, you’ll know your tech’s name before they arrive, and they’ll show up in uniform with a Rotobrush system and Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum, not a shop vac and a leaf blower.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Addison
Dryer Vent Inspection in Addison is where every job starts, and in this town it’s not a formality. A typical inspection here costs $89 – $149 when booked as a standalone service, and it’s rolled into the cleaning price when you book both together. We run a camera from the dryer connection to the termination point, measuring run length, counting elbows, and checking for the kind of lint compaction that builds up fast in Addison’s humid, hot summers.
What the Camera Tells Us
Long runs with multiple turns are common in Addison apartment buildings and restaurants, and those are exactly where lint packs tightest. The camera shows us transition points, damaged duct sections, and whether the termination cap is actually opening or just sitting there sealed with lint felt. That’s what determines your flat price.
Rooftop and Strapside Terminations
A lot of Addison commercial properties vent upward through the roof, which means we’re checking the cap, the screen, and the first six feet of duct from above. If a cap is screened or sealed, lint backs up fast and the blower motor strains. An inspection catches that before it becomes a fire load.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Addison
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Addison is a different animal from residential work, and we treat it that way. Addison’s density along the Dallas North Tollway means hotels, restaurants, and apartment buildings all share the same small footprint, and most of those laundry stacks see far more cycles per day than any single-family dryer ever will. A typical commercial cleaning here runs $249 – $599, with the final number set only after we inspect the run length, diameter, and roof access.
Restaurant and Hotel Laundry Stacks
A restaurant running linens and uniforms daily can pack a vent solid with lint in under a year. We scope it by camera first, then quote one flat price per system, not per vent. No per-vent pricing. If the run terminates on a roof near Belt Line Road or Quorum Drive, roof access and safety rigging are already included in that price.
Multifamily and Shared-Laundry Runs
Apartment complexes in Addison often run 30 to 50 feet of duct from a shared laundry room to a roof or exterior wall. Those longer runs need agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, not a shop vac pushing lint deeper. We use Rotobrush rotary brushes and Nikro HEPA vacuums so the lint comes out, not further in.
Trusted Brands We Service in Addison
We work on dryers from Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Maytag, and Speed Queen, and we stock common replacement caps, transition ducts, and bird guards for Addison properties. Our containment and filtration setup uses Abatement Technologies units for commercial jobs, and we carry Rotobrush brush systems for standard runs. Whether you’re maintaining a hotel laundry near the Addison Conference Centre or a restaurant stack off Belt Line Road, we can typically complete the work in a single visit because the parts are already on the truck.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Addison Homes
- Long lateral runs in apartment buildings: Shared laundry rooms in Addison apartments often vent 30+ feet with multiple elbows. Lint packs hard in those bends, and we see blower motors burning out early because no one cleaned the full run.
- Screened or sealed rooftop caps on commercial stacks: Addison restaurants and hotels frequently have screened terminations that trap lint until the system backs up. On a Tuesday run near the Addison Conference Centre, our tech pulled a residential-style dryer vent on a restaurant’s back-of-house stack and found the lint pathway packed solid from the termination cap back nearly six feet.
- Humidity-driven lint adhesion: Addison’s hot, humid summers cause lint to cling to duct walls instead of blowing through. That felted layer builds faster than homeowners expect, and it’s the reason we recommend camera inspection at least once a year.
- Bird and rodent intrusion at exterior caps: Exterior terminations near Addison Circle and residential streets off Arapaho Road attract birds and squirrels. We install bird guards and solid caps so the vent stays clear between cleanings.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Addison, TX

That’s the whole-system price, not a per-vent figure, and it includes camera inspection, the cleaning itself, and before-and-after photos of your actual vent. Commercial stacks, shared-laundry runs, and rooftop terminations run $249 – $599 because they require roof access, longer run times, and HEPA containment. We don’t quote a teaser price and then pad the invoice once we’re on site. The price we write down before work starts is the price you pay.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Addison
Most commercial dryer vents in Addison need cleaning every 3 to 6 months, depending on cycle volume and run length. A restaurant doing daily linen loads can pack a vent solid in under a year; a hotel laundry on the Dallas North Tollway corridor may need quarterly service. We’ll scope yours with a camera and give you a realistic interval. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection.
Per-vent pricing is how this trade hides cost. You get a low number, then the tech counts vents and adds length, elbows, and access fees until the invoice doubles. We quote one flat price per system after we inspect it, agreed before we start. In Addison, that’s $149 – $289 for residential and $249 – $599 for commercial. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote.
Yes. Rooftop terminations are standard across Addison’s commercial strips, and we handle roof access, safety rigging, and the cap inspection as part of the flat price. We use negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration so lint comes out through the termination, not back down into the building. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll scope the roof first.
No, we don’t promise same-day service. Dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled job, and doing it right means camera inspection, roof access coordination, and written pricing before work starts. Most Addison appointments are booked within 2 to 4 business days. Call (737) 727-2314 to find the next available window.
A dryer vent inspection includes a camera run from the dryer connection to the termination point, a check of the transition duct, elbows, cap, and screen, and a written report of what we found. In Addison, that’s $89 – $149 as a standalone service, waived when you book cleaning at the same time. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule one.
