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 Angleton
Dryer vent cleaning in Angleton typically costs $149 – $289 for a standard single-story home with a measured vent run up to 20 feet, and most jobs are completed in 60 – 90 minutes. Longer attic runs, crushed flex duct, or animal nests push that range toward $329 – $449 because the work takes more time and often requires a repair, not just a cleaning. That’s the honest spread you’ll see from us before we touch anything. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through what your specific Angleton home needs.
We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning team knows Angleton houses differently than a crew that just punches the city into a GPS. The ranch homes off Highway 35, the two-story builds near the fairgrounds, the older frame houses by the hospital on North Velasco – we see the same lint patterns, the same crushed attic runs, the same disconnected flex duct under raised foundations. That local repetition means we diagnose faster and quote accurately the first time.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Angleton’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Angleton homeowners call us because we answer the phone, give a written price before work starts, and send a background-checked tech in uniform who shows before-and-after photos of the actual duct. Omar Haddad, who runs our Angleton service area, holds every job to that standard. You won’t get a low teaser quote that balloons once we’re in your laundry room. You get one flat price for the whole vent system, agreed before a single tool comes off the van.
The long, single-story vent runs through unconditioned attics in Angleton’s 1960s – 1980s ranch housing stock are the most common thing we work on. These runs are often two or three times longer than what a homeowner assumes based on the short visible hose behind the dryer. We measure the full run before quoting because guessing at length is how bait-and-switch pricing happens, and we won’t do that to you.
Our response time to Angleton is straightforward. We schedule within a few business days for most cleanings, and we confirm a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard. You’ll know the tech’s name before they ring the bell, and you can watch their arrival in real time from your phone.
Dryer Vent Repair in Angleton
Dryer Vent Repair in Angleton is what we do when a cleaning alone won’t fix the problem – crushed flex duct in an attic, a disconnected joint under a pier-and-beam home, a bird’s nest blocking the exterior hood, or a vent cap that’s rusted through from Gulf humidity. The repair typically runs $89 – $189 for a cap replacement and $120 – $260 for a section of crushed or disconnected duct replacement, depending on access and run length.
Crushed or Disconnected Attic Runs
Angleton’s humidity swings between thick Gulf air and dry summer heat, and that cycle works flex duct loose over time. We see sagged, pinched runs in attics near the fairgrounds regularly. If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load and the laundry room smells faintly scorched, the problem is usually mid-run, not at the hood.
We camera-inspect before quoting a repair. If the duct is crushed but intact, we may be able to pull it straight. If it’s torn or disconnected, we replace the section with rigid or semi-rigid duct and re-seal the joints so lint can’t escape into your attic.
Vent Cap and Bird Guard Replacement
Exterior hoods in Angleton take a beating from coastal air and the occasional storm. A rusted flapper won’t close, and then birds, wasps, and humid air get in. We replace caps with standard or pest-resistant models and add bird guards where needed. A new cap plus guard typically runs $89 – $149 installed.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Angleton
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Angleton means something specific to us: a local crew running professional gear – Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums – not a truck-mounted shop vac and a leaf blower. A standard cleaning includes negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened lint goes directly into the vacuum instead of back into your living room, plus a camera inspection before and after. Standard cleanings run $149 – $289 for a measured run up to 20 feet; longer runs and heavy buildup go to $329 – $449.
Source Removal, Not Just Hood Cleaning
Some companies wipe the outside vent, snap a photo, and call it done. That does nothing for the several pounds of compacted lint sitting mid-run in your attic. We remove the lint at its source with a rotary brush, then vacuum the entire run under negative pressure so nothing recirculates into your house.
Camera Inspection and Photo Proof
Before we quote a cleaning, we measure the full vent run and camera it. After we clean, we camera it again and show you the before-and-after photos of your own duct. You’ll see exactly what we removed and what the run looks like clear. That’s the same standard for every Angleton job, no exceptions.
Trusted Brands We Service in Angleton
We work on all major dryer makes and vent configurations, and we stock common replacement parts for Angleton’s housing stock – long flex runs, rigid duct sections, standard and pest-resistant caps. Our techs run Rotobrush brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums because cheap equipment can’t handle a 30-foot attic run packed with lint. If your system needs filtration or air quality work beyond the vent, we carry Aprilaire and Abatement Technologies products, and we also offer our HVAC Cleaning in Angleton. No matter the brand of dryer you own, the vent itself gets the same measured, photographed, flat-price treatment.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Angleton Homes
- Long attic runs through unconditioned space. Many Angleton ranches built between 1960 and 1985 route dryer exhaust through attics that trap heat and humidity. Lint settles faster in these long horizontal runs, and the visible hose behind the dryer gives homeowners a false sense of how short the run actually is.
- Crushed or sagging flex duct. The humid Gulf air softens flex duct over time, and then a hot August softens it more. We regularly find pinch points where a 20-foot run has folded under its own weight, cutting airflow by half or more.
- Disconnected joints under pier-and-beam homes. Many Angleton homes sit on raised foundations, and the vent run passes through the crawlspace. A slipped joint down there dumps lint and humid exhaust into the subfloor – you’ll smell it before you see it.
- Bird nests and rodent activity at the exterior hood. A rusted or missing flapper invites birds and squirrels in. We’ve pulled full nests out of hoods on North Velasco and around the fairgrounds area, often with several pounds of lint packed behind them.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Angleton
We price by the measured length of your vent run and the condition of the duct, not by the number of vents. A standard Angleton home with a vent run up to 20 feet and normal lint buildup runs $149 – $289. We measure the full run, camera it before and after, and give you one written price before any work starts. That price does not change. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote on your system.
For most Angleton homes with long attic runs through unconditioned space, every 12 – 18 months is realistic. The humidity swings and extra run length mean lint compacts faster than the national average suggests. If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load or the laundry room feels humid after a cycle, you’re due now regardless of the calendar. If the run is short and you dry two loads a week, every 24 months may be enough. We’ll tell you honestly after a camera inspection.
Photos of the duct itself, from the inside. We run a camera through the full vent run before cleaning and again after, and you see both. We don’t consider a vent cleaned unless we can show you the before-and-after of your own duct, not just a wiped-down exterior hood. That photo proof is included in every Angleton job and sent to you digitally.
Yes. Pier-and-beam foundations are common in Angleton, and we routinely replace crushed or disconnected runs in crawlspaces. We camera the run to find the exact failure point, then replace the damaged section with rigid or semi-rigid duct and re-seal the joints. Repairs run $120 – $260 for a typical section, and we show you photos of the work when it’s done. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll schedule a look.
No. We schedule within a few business days for most Angleton cleanings, and we’d rather be honest about that than promise a same-day slot we can’t keep. What you do get is a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard, a background-checked tech by name, and a written price before any work starts. If your dryer vent is backed up and you need us sooner, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll see what’s open.
