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 Bardmoor’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Bardmoor homeowners don’t need a generic duct outfit. They need someone who knows that this community’s original dryer vents were short, foil-flex runs poked straight through the exterior wall, and that forty-plus years of Florida humidity and lint have done real damage to a lot of them. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team has worked on enough Bardmoor laundry closets to know before we even pull the dryer out what we’re likely to find behind it.
Every job here gets the same treatment: a camera inspection of the full lint pathway, not just the section behind the machine. We check the exterior damper. We verify airflow actually exits the wall. We photograph the run before and after. That’s the kind of detail that matters when you live in Bardmoor, where a sagging flex run hidden behind drywall can go unaddressed for decades because nobody ever looked at it.
Omar Haddad runs our Bardmoor-area crews, and he holds every technician to the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print on that.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Bardmoor
A professional Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Bardmoor starts with the simple truth that most of this community’s vents were never designed for decades of use. We begin every job with a camera inspection of the entire lint pathway, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination. In Bardmoor’s 1970s and 80s homes, that usually means a short foil-flex run through the wall, often crushed, sagging, or half-blocked with packed lint. Our techs use agitation tools to break up caked lint, then negative-pressure extraction to pull it out. Negative pressure means the loosened debris goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum, not back into your laundry room.
Camera Inspection First
We don’t clean blind. Before any brush touches the vent, we run a camera down the full run and look at what’s actually there. In Bardmoor specifically, that’s important because the original flex runs installed in the 70s and 80s were thin, and many have collapsed behind the wall. Cleaning a collapsed run without knowing it’s collapsed just pushes lint around.
The Cleaning Itself
Once the run is inspected, we clean the full pathway with rotary agitation tools and a professional HEPA vacuum, not a shop-vac. We clear the lint from the dryer itself, the vent run, and the exterior damper at the wall. You get before-and-after photos of your own duct before we leave.
Dryer Vent Installation in Bardmoor
A Dryer Vent Installation in Bardmoor usually means replacing an original foil-flex run that should have come out twenty years ago. If your house was built between 1970 and 1985 and still has the original vent, the metal is likely thin, the foil is tearing, and the inner surface has caught enough lint to become a permanent restriction. We remove the old run, install a rigid metal vent where possible, reseat or replace the exterior damper, and confirm airflow at the outside wall. A typical full replacement in Bardmoor runs $190 – $340 depending on the run’s length and access.
Rigid Metal Rerouting
When the original flex run sags or snakes through a wall, we reroute it with rigid metal ducting. Rigid metal has a smooth interior, so lint moves through it instead of catching on corrugated foil. For Bardmoor’s short wall runs, that’s often a straightforward job done the same day.
Damper and Cap Replacement
The exterior damper is the flapper on the outside wall that keeps rain and birds out. On older Bardmoor homes, it’s frequently jammed open or rusted shut. We replace it as standard part of a vent installation, and can add a bird guard if you’ve had nesting issues near the vent, which happens a lot in this neighborhood’s mature landscape.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bardmoor
We service and work with every major dryer brand you’ll find in Bardmoor laundry rooms: Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Speed Queen, and Kenmore. We also offer our HVAC Cleaning in Bardmoor for complete home air system care. For the vent itself, we install and recommend quality components from Guardsman and Aprilaire, and our cleaning truck carries professional Rotobrush brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums. That matters in Bardmoor because these older homes need professional extraction on short wall runs, not the DIY kit from a hardware store. We keep common damper sizes and vent components stocked for quick turnaround on local jobs, so you’re not waiting a week for a part to ship for a 1978 dryer closet.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Bardmoor Homes
- Collapsed foil-flex runs behind the wall. The original thin foil vents from the 70s and 80s sag over time, and in Bardmoor’s humidity, they can tear or crush. Your dryer still runs, but the airflow is blocked somewhere you can’t see.
- Jammed exterior dampers. Florida heat and rain do a number on the plastic and metal dampers on the outside wall. When the flapper doesn’t open, heat builds inside the wall cavity. When it doesn’t close, birds and geckos move in.
- Lint packed into short wall runs. Bardmoor’s original vents are short, but short doesn’t mean safe. A five-foot run can pack solid with lint if the dryer has been used daily for forty years without a vent cleaning.
- Laundry closets with no airflow clearance. Many Bardmoor floor plans place the dryer in a tight interior closet. Without a properly vented run, the heat and moisture from that closet just recirculate into the home.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bardmoor
Most Bardmoor homes need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 24 months, depending on how often the dryer runs. If your house was built in the 1970s or 80s and still has the original flex vent, or if you dry laundry daily for a family, lean toward yearly. A good camera inspection will tell you straight what’s needed, and that’s included in our standard clean. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through it.
One flat price for the entire dryer vent system, quoted in writing before any work starts. We don’t charge per vent, per room, or per section of duct. A standard Bardmoor cleaning runs $129 – $189 for the full system, and that number does not change at the door.
Yes. Every job includes before-and-after photographs of your own lint pathway, taken with our camera system during the inspection and after the clean. You’ll see the packed lint, then you’ll see the clear run. You can also get a digital copy of the photos with your invoice. Call (737) 727-2314 and ask about it.
In most cases, yes. The original foil-flex runs in 1970s Bardmoor homes were thin from the start, and after forty-plus years in Florida humidity they’re often sagging, torn, or crushed behind the wall. If a camera inspection shows the run is collapsed or the inner surface is shredded, cleaning won’t fix it. A rigid metal replacement runs $190 – $340 and it’s the actual fix for the actual problem.
We don’t promise same-day service, and we’ll be straight about why: a proper Bardmoor vent job includes a camera inspection, full-path cleaning, damper check, and photo documentation. Rushing that process is how lint gets left behind and dampers get skipped. We’ll schedule you for the next available slot, give you a live trackable arrival window, and finish the job correctly in one visit. Call (737) 727-2314 to see what our schedule looks like this week.
