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 Bloomingdale’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Most of the Bloomingdale homeowners we hear from have been burned once already. Either a technician quoted a low teaser price and added per-vent charges on site, or the cleaning was done so quickly that nobody could tell if anything was actually removed. We operate differently, and Bloomingdale customers tend to notice. Every job starts with a written price for the entire vent system, not a per-vent estimate that swells once the tech is inside. That includes our HVAC Cleaning in Bloomingdale, where the same flat-rate standard applies. That price does not change at the door. Omar Haddad, who leads our team, set that standard years ago, and it’s held up across every job we run in this area.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every Bloomingdale booking is held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means a live, trackable arrival window, background-checked and uniformed technicians whose names you’ll know before they knock, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team runs professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, not a truck-mounted shop vac. And because Bloomingdale sits in a humid climate where lint behaves differently, we inspect the full run, not just the first few feet.
Dryer Vent Installation in Bloomingdale
Dryer Vent Installation in Bloomingdale is a different job than what most handyman services offer. Here, the exterior termination often sits high on a gable or soffit, which means the run is longer, takes more elbows, and loses airflow fast if the hood is installed wrong. We see installs off Bloomingdale Avenue and the streets running south toward the Little Manatee River where vents terminate through screened soffits, and the problem is always the same: an undersized or poorly sealed hood that traps lint from day one. A proper Bloomingdale install uses rigid metal duct where possible, with the shortest approved run and a hood that opens fully, not one of those cheap flap covers that sticks shut in humid air.
Homeowners usually call us for installation when a renovation adds a laundry room, an old flex duct collapses, or a home inspection flags an improper vent. In Bloomingdale, a full dryer vent installation with a new metal run and exterior hood generally runs $180 – $400 depending on run length and access. You get the written price before we cut anything open.
What a Correct Bloomingdale Install Includes
We confirm airflow with a blower motor reading at the vent, not by feel. The vent system gets a camera inspection so you can see the full pathway before and after. If we’re replacing an old hood, we’ll show you the difference in airflow so you know the job actually solved something.
When an Install Becomes an Upgrade
If your current vent runs too long or takes too many turns, rerouting is often the better call. We’ll price the reroute as part of the same flat system quote, not as a surprise add-on. If you want a bird guard or a wider hood for easier cleaning, we’ll tell you what that costs up front.
Dryer Vent Repair in Bloomingdale
Dryer Vent Repair in Bloomingdale usually means one of three things: a crushed or separated flex duct behind the wall, a stuck or damanged exterior hood, or a run that was never sized right for the dryer’s output. The humid air here accelerates every one of those problems. A stuck hood flap that would dry out and work fine in a drier climate stays swollen shut here, trapping wet air inside. A separated duct pushes lint into a wall cavity or attic, which is both a fire hazard and a mold invitation. Most repairs we quote in Bloomingdale fall between $120 and $300, depending on whether we can resecure and reseal the existing run or need to replace a section.
Every repair we do carries a written guarantee. If the repair fails within 365 days, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every repair, every time, without exception.
Damnaged Hoods and Soffit Vents
In Bloomingdale’s heat and humidity, exterior vent hoods degrade fast. Plastic hoods crack, flaps warp, screens rust. We replace them with weather-rated metal hoods and, where birds or rodents are a problem, install a guard that doesn’t restrict airflow the way a screen does.
Rerouting a Bad Vent Run
When a vent was originally run through a soffit with no clearance for a proper hood, repair means rerouting. We’ll map the shortest code-compliant path, price it as one flat number, and show you the airflow reading when it’s done.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bloomingdale
We work on every dryer make and model, and we stock Guardsman vent kits, Guardsman hoods, and other common replacement parts for quick turnaround on Bloomingdale jobs. Our trucks carry Rotobrush rotary brush heads, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment equipment, so a cleaning or repair isn’t held up waiting on a part. That’s particularly useful when a Bloomingdale homeowner has a high-shouldered roofline or a second-story soffit vent that’s hard to reach. We plan the job around your home, not around what’s in the truck.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Bloomingdale Homes
- Matted lint plugs behind exterior screens: Bloomingdale’s humid air turns loose lint into a dense, felt-like plug that a lint trap never catches. This is the dominant failure pattern here, and it’s why we camera-inspect the full run rather than just brushing the first few feet.
- Long, flex-heavy runs through humid attics: Many Bloomingdale homes route dryer vents through unconditioned attic space. In this climate, that means condensation inside the duct, which glues lint to the walls and shrinks the effective diameter fast.
- Stuck flap hoods from humidity: When the exterior flap won’t open, the dryer pushes moist air back into the laundry room, and run times climb. We replace stuck plastic hoods with weather-rated metal, often the same visit.
- Bird and rodent damage to soffit vents: Bloomingdale’s treed streets and river-adjacent neighborhoods mean nests in and around exterior hoods. We install bird guards that keep the opening clear without choking airflow.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bloomingdale
A Bloomingdale dryer vent should be cleaned every 12 to 18 months for a typical household. The humid air here causes lint to mat against the duct walls and exterior screen, and a run the same length in a drier city might go two years between cleanings. Here, we see real airflow loss within a year on most homes. If the dryer is taking longer than one normal cycle, that’s your sign. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll schedule a camera inspection to check the run before you pay for a full cleaning.
We charge one flat price per system. A dryer vent system is one run, and we price it as one run. We do not quote a low base price and then add per-vent charges once the technician arrives. You get the written number before any work starts, and it does not change at the door.
Because the warm, humid air keeps the lint damp. Lint that would stay loose and blow out as dust in a drier climate instead mats into a felt-like plug, especially when the vent passes through unconditioned attic space or terminates behind a screen. That plug is the fire risk most people don’t see. A camera inspection shows you exactly what’s sitting in your line. Call us for a free camera check and quote.
Yes. Every Bloomingdale cleaning includes before-and-after photos of your own vent, taken with our camera head before we brush and again after extraction. You see exactly what came out, and you see the airflow reading at the vent when we’re done. If you want, we’ll walk you through the photos on our tablet before we leave. That proof is part of The Relay Standard, and it’s not optional.
We don’t promise same-day service. Dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled job, not an emergency, and doing it right means running the camera, brushing the full path, extracting with HEPA filtration, and confirming airflow at the termination point. That takes a planned visit, not a rushed one. We do keep Bloomingdale coverage areas pretty open during the week, so call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you the earliest available slot with a live arrival window you can track from your phone.
If your dryer is running hot, taking two cycles, or sending a lint smell through the laundry room, the vent is the first thing to check. We’ll camera the line, show you what’s in it, quote one flat price, and send before-and-after photos when the job’s done.
