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.

What Dryer Vent Cleaning in Argyle Actually Costs
Most standard dryer vent cleanings for Argyle homes run $149 – $289. That’s one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. No per-vent pricing, no bait-and-switch, no “while we’re here” upsell that doubles the invoice. Here’s the honest breakdown of what affects the number:
- Single-story homes with a short, straight vent run (the dryer sits on an exterior wall): $149 – $179. This covers homes where the vent exits within roughly 10 – 15 feet of the dryer.
- Two-story or interior-laundry homes with a 15 – 30 foot run: $199 – $249. Common in Argyle’s larger floor plans where the laundry room sits near the center of the house and the vent travels through the slab or up through an exterior wall.
- Long runs, attic routings, or multiple elbows (30+ feet, common in the large-lot custom homes off Crawford Road and throughout Argyle Farms): $259 – $289. These require more time for access, camera inspection, and thorough agitation.
Argyle is its own market, not a copy of Flower Mound or Denton pricing. Our rates reflect the actual home stock here. You’ll see the written price before a single tool comes off the truck. Call (737) 727-2314 and ask for Omar. He’ll give you a straight answer in about five minutes.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Argyle’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Argyle homeowners don’t have patience for vague estimates or technicians who show up four hours late with no idea what to expect. That’s why every booking with us runs on The Relay Standard: a live, trackable arrival window you can follow from your phone, before-and-after photo proof of the work, and a digital invoice you can pay by link. You know the technician’s name before they open the door. They’re background-checked, uniformed, and they arrive with professional-grade equipment, not a truck-mounted shop vac.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005. Every job is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s not a limited-time offer or a select-jobs-only gimmick. It’s every booking, every time. In Argyle, where word travels fast through neighborhood groups and the school pickup line, that kind of standing matters.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he started this business because he saw too many homeowners getting charged for work that was never actually documented. That’s why every Argyle job ends with before-and-after photos of your own vent interior. You see what we saw. You see what we removed. You see what the duct looked like when we finished. No other Dryer Vent Cleaning in Argyle provider we know of does that consistently.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Argyle
Dryer Vent Inspection in Argyle is a camera-based look inside your vent run, and it’s the right call when your dryer is taking longer than it used to, your laundry room feels humid after a cycle, or you’ve just bought a home and don’t know what the previous owners left behind. We run a small inspection camera down the full length of the vent, show you the live feed, and photograph any blockages, lint accumulation, or damage. In Argyle, where many homes have long concealed runs through slabs or attics, the condition of the middle of the run is usually invisible from either end. The inspection answers what a quick look at the exterior hood never can: exactly how much lint is sitting in there, and where.
Inspection Pricing for Argyle Homes
A standalone Dryer Vent Inspection runs $99, and if you proceed with a full cleaning on the same visit, we credit the inspection fee toward the cleaning. That means you’re not paying twice for the same visit. For a home purchase, some buyers ask for a written inspection summary they can attach to their records, and we provide that at no extra charge.
When an Inspection Turns Into a Cleaning
Roughly 7 out of 10 Argyle homes we inspect need at least a standard cleaning. The rest are either new builds with minimal use or homes where the vent was recently replaced. The inspection tells you which situation you’re in, and the photos prove it. We don’t sell you a cleaning if the camera shows a clear run. That’s the point of the camera.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Argyle
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Argyle covers laundromats, salons, fitness centers, fire stations, and any business running multiple dryers or high-volume laundry. These systems accumulate lint faster than residential vents because they run all day, and the fire risk compounds when multiple dryer exhausts share ducting or terminate near each other. Our crews handle multi-dryer configurations, roof terminations, and runs that exceed typical residential lengths, using the same source-removal method with a Nikro HEPA-recovery vacuum and Abatement Technologies containment where needed.
Pricing for Commercial Systems in Argyle
Commercial pricing starts at $299 for a single-dryer setup and scales with the number of dryers, run length, and access complexity. We never give a commercial price over the phone without seeing the layout first, but we always provide a written quote after an on-site walkthrough, before any work is scheduled. No per-vent pricing, no line items that appear out of nowhere.
Service Plans for Argyle Businesses
Most Argyle businesses with 3 or more dryers schedule cleanings quarterly or twice a year, depending on volume. We offer scheduled service plans with the same flat pricing structure, so you always know the annual cost upfront. If your business is in the retail stretch near the Argyle Square or along Highway 377, we can coordinate after-hours work so you don’t lose operating hours.
Argyle’s Climate and Housing Stock: What It Means for Your Dryer Vent
The dominant housing pattern in Argyle is large-lot homes on private well and septic systems. That means dryer vents often terminate farther from the laundry room than in typical tract subdivisions. A laundry room on the second floor or in the center of a custom floor plan pushes the vent run longer, sometimes 25 to 40 feet. The concealed lint run can be significantly longer than the reachable trap suggests, and that’s exactly why Argyle homes need more than a diligent homeowner cleaning the trap screen. The trap catches maybe 25 – 30% of what your dryer produces. The other 70% travels down the run and settles wherever the airflow slows: at elbows, at sags, and where the run flattens through an exterior wall.
We recently serviced a home in the Argyle Farms area where the homeowner reported that their dryer, a unit using a Guardsman vent kit, was taking three cycles to dry a load and the laundry room was noticeably humid. Using a camera inspection and agitation tools, we found a dense lint blockage deep in the horizontal run and cleared it to restore proper airflow. Before-and-after photographs of the duct interior showed the homeowner exactly where the obstruction had been. That’s the kind of visibility we give every Argyle job, no exceptions.
Homes along Crawford Road, Copper Canyon, and the newer sections near Harvest all have their own patterns. Older custom builds tend toward slab-routed vents with multiple changes in direction. Newer builds off FM 407 often route vents through unconditioned attics where the temperature swings make lint stick to the duct walls faster. Every one of these layouts changes how we approach the clean. That’s why a template-based approach from a national chain doesn’t work out here. We work from what your specific vent actually is.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Argyle Homes
- Attic-routed vents with poor pitch. When the vent runs through an unconditioned attic, warm moist air hits cold duct walls and condensation forms. Lint sticks instead of blowing through. Over a year or two, the run narrows until airflow drops enough that your dryer starts running two or three cycles per load.
- Long horizontal runs with multiple elbows. Many Argyle homes have 25 – 40 foot runs with two or three 90-degree turns. Each elbow is a collection point. Homeowners clean the trap faithfully and still end up with a clog, because the trap was never the problem in the first place.
- Handyman shop-vac jobs that made things worse. We see vents where someone used a leaf blower or shop vac from the exterior hood. That pushes lint backward into the elbows and compresses it. Proper source removal with negative pressure and HEPA filtration actually removes the material instead of relocating it.
- Bird nests and rodent debris in the termination hood. The exterior hood on an Argyle home is exposed to everything that lives in the Post Oak and cedar stands around the area. Birds and rodents find the warm exhaust appealing. Nests block airflow and create a fire hazard, and no amount of trap cleaning addresses it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Argyle
We service dryers and vent systems from every major manufacturer, and we stock common replacement parts for Argyle customers so a broken vent cap or damaged hood doesn’t mean waiting a week for a backorder. Our equipment fleet includes Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum extraction units (the same standard commercial restoration crews rely on), Abatement Technologies containment units for jobs with hazardous debris, and Guardsman vent kits and components. For filtration and indoor air quality work, we also offer our HVAC Cleaning in Argyle, and we install Honeywell and Aprilaire products. When we quote a vent cap replacement or a reroute, we use the same brands we’d put in our own homes. If your dryer vent passes through a garage or utility room with limited clearance, ask about the Guardsman vent kit options, they’re a common solution for Argyle’s larger custom laundry rooms.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Argyle
A dryer vent in Argyle should be cleaned every 12 – 24 months for an average household. Homes with longer vent runs (25 feet or more, common in the large-lot and custom builds throughout Argyle) lean toward the 12-month side, because lint accumulates faster and blockages form sooner. Homes with short, straight runs and light laundry use can go 24 months. If your dryer takes longer than one cycle to dry a full load, or the laundry room feels humid after a load runs, that’s the signal to call us at (737) 727-2314 for an inspection, not to wait for the two-year mark.
Yes. We clean commercial dryer vents at laundromats, salons, fitness centers, fire stations, and multi-family properties throughout Argyle, including commercial spaces along Highway 377 and near the town square. Commercial pricing starts at $299 for a single-dryer setup and scales with system size and access. We schedule after-hours work when needed so your business keeps running. For a commercial quote, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll schedule a walkthrough.
Yes, attic-routed dryer vents are one of the most common configurations we clean in Argyle, especially in newer builds where laundry rooms sit near the center of the home. These runs are longer and have slower airflow, which means they need more frequent cleaning. We access the vent from both the appliance end and the exterior termination, use a camera to navigate the full route, and run agitation tools plus negative-pressure extraction to pull the loosened lint out of the run without pushing it deeper. Before-and-after photos document the full run. Call (737) 727-2314 for a quote on your specific layout.
Yes. Every dryer vent cleaning in Argyle ends with before-and-after photographs of the vent interior, plus photos of the exterior termination after we’re done. You get them as part of the job, not as an add-on. If we find a bird nest, rodent debris, or a failed vent cap, those photos show exactly what we removed and what the area looked like after the work. This is the Relay Standard, and it’s how we prove the work was actually done. If you’ve had a previous cleaning and never saw a single photo of the inside of your vent, you may not have gotten what you paid for.
Dryer vent cleaning focuses on the single exhaust duct that carries hot, lint-filled air from your dryer to the outside. Air duct cleaning covers the HVAC supply and return ductwork throughout your home. They’re different systems with different problems, different tools, and different pricing. We do both, but every job is quoted separately. If you’re interested in air duct cleaning for your Argyle home, we can quote both during the same visit and give you one flat price per system. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll sort out exactly what you need.
