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.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Banning’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Banning homeowners call us because we treat the job like it matters, and we prove the work with before-and-after photos of your own vent. Omar Haddad leads our team, and he’s built a reputation for straight answers on pricing and process. The most common thing we hear from Banning customers is that the price we quoted over the phone matched the invoice exactly.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means a live trackable arrival time, a written price before we start, photo documentation, and a digital invoice payable from a link. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they run professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation and Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction. That means loosened lint goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room.
Dryer Vent Installation in Banning
Dryer vent installation in Banning usually means replacing an old foil or sagging flexible duct with rigid metal, and the cost runs $180 – $420 depending on run length, wall thickness, and termination type. Stucco walls common across Banning add a step because the exterior penetration must be sealed correctly to keep moisture out. We install rigid metal venting that meets code, with the shortest practical run and the fewest elbows.
Long Horizontal Runs Through Stucco
Banning’s older housing stock along the I-10 corridor, including tracts near the Banning Municipal Airport and the historic downtown, frequently has dryer vents with long horizontal runs and multiple elbows that vent through stucco walls. Those runs trap lint far more aggressively than the short vertical runs common in newer Inland Empire subdivisions. When we install in these homes, we plan the routing to reduce elbows and ensure the run slopes slightly toward the exterior so condensation cannot pool.
Bird Guard and Termination Hood Replacement
We install bird guards and MERV-rated termination hoods to keep Banning’s sparrows and starlings from nesting in the vent opening. A clogged cap with nesting material blocks airflow as effectively as a lint plug. We stock common cap sizes on our trucks, so most replacements happen in the same visit.
Dryer Vent Repair in Banning
Dryer vent repair in Banning typically runs $95 – $260, covering everything from replacing a crushed duct section to resealing a loose wall penetration. If your dryer is suddenly taking two cycles to dry a load or the laundry room feels warm while the dryer runs, the vent is a likely culprit. We diagnose with a camera inspection, so you see the actual problem before we touch anything.
Crushed and Disconnected Runs
In Banning homes built before the 1990s, we regularly find foil ducts pinched behind the dryer or pulled loose at the wall connection. A sagged section between two elbows becomes a lint shelf that a homeowner’s shop vac cannot reach. We cut out the damaged section and splice in rigid metal with proper foil tape, never drywall screws or duct tape.
Transition Duct Replacement
The transition duct, the short piece running from the dryer exhaust to the wall, gets compressed every time the dryer is pushed back into place. We replace it with UL-listed semi-rigid aluminum and verify the connection with a camera before we leave. This section carries the hottest, lintiest air in the whole system, so it fails first.
Trusted Brands We Service in Banning
Our Banning crews work on all major dryer brands, but we also bring familiarity with the venting materials themselves. We stock Guardsman termination hoods and caps for same-day replacement, and we use Abatement Technologies containment where needed on larger cleaning jobs. Whether your home has a Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, or a builder-grade unit from the 1980s, the vent side of the equation is what we fix. If you need a part we don’t carry, we can usually have it in hand within a day or two through our local supply network.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Banning Homes
- Long stucco wall runs: Homes near Banning Municipal Airport and the older downtown blocks often have vents that run ten to twenty feet horizontally through exterior walls, with two or three elbows. Each elbow is a lint trap, and the long run means a shop vac at the trap only gets the first few feet.
- Foil duct failures: Flexible foil ducts from the 1970s and 1980s sag between supports and are not rated for dryer exhaust under current code. We replace them with rigid metal whenever we find them during a cleaning.
- Roof terminations: Some older Banning homes vent through the roof, which adds vertical rise and makes lint accumulation worse. Roof terminations need cleaning more often than wall exits because gravity works against the airflow.
- Bird and rodent entry: Missing or damaged vent caps let Banning’s birds and occasionally rodents into the vent. We remove nesting material during cleaning and install guards to keep it from happening again.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Banning, CA
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Banning runs $129 – $249 for a single-dryer home with a wall termination and a run under 20 feet. Roof terminations, runs over 20 feet, or vents with multiple elbows add $40 – $80 because the work takes longer and requires more agitation passes. If you need a vent cap or bird guard replaced, that’s an additional $30 – $70 for parts and installation. If we recommend a repair we show you the camera footage first, and we hand you a written price before any repair starts. One flat price per system, no per-vent pricing, and no change at the door.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Banning
Every 12 to 18 months for most Banning homes, and closer to every 12 months if your vent has a long horizontal run through a stucco wall or terminates on the roof. Homes near Banning Municipal Airport or the older downtown tracts with multiple elbows collect lint faster. If your dryer is taking longer than one cycle to dry a load, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll inspect it.
We charge one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons at the door. A standard Banning single-dryer home runs $129 – $249. If we find a repair needed during the cleaning, we show you the camera footage and quote the repair separately before doing it.
We treat it as a longer job and quote accordingly, typically $40 – $80 more than a standard run. The run is cleaned with rotary brush agitation followed by negative-pressure extraction, and we camera-verify that the entire length is clear. Long runs through stucco are the exact situation where a homeowner’s shop vac falls short, so we spend the extra time to do it right. Call (737) 727-2314 for a precise quote.
We install, repair, reroute, and clean dryer vents in Banning. Installation typically runs $180 – $420, and repairs start around $95. Whether you need a replacement foil duct swapped to rigid metal, a new bird guard, or a complete new run through a stucco wall, we quote it as a flat fixed price before work begins.
Because the lint trap only catches about 25% of the lint your dryer produces. The rest passes through and deposits along the vent walls, especially at elbows and horizontal runs. In Banning homes with long stucco-wall runs, that buildup can become a fire hazard and a drying-time problem within a single year. Cleaning the trap is necessary; cleaning the vent is what actually protects your home. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule.
