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.

Dryer vent cleaning in Bloomington, CA typically costs $150 – $280 for a standard residential system and takes about 60 – 90 minutes when the vent run is accessible.

No per-vent games, no surprise add-ons.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team works throughout Bloomington every week, and we know these homes. We know which 1950s and 60s builds have short exterior-wall vent runs, and we know which newer subdivisions south of the 10 have longer attic chases that collect lint differently. That local knowledge means we arrive prepared, diagnose fast, and finish the job in one visit most of the time.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Bloomington’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Bloomington homeowners call us because we’re direct about what dryer vent work actually involves and what it costs. Our owner, Omar Haddad, built Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning on a simple standard: written pricing up front, background-checked uniformed technicians, and before-and-after photos of your own duct. We don’t ask you to trust that the work was done. We show you.
Our Bloomington customers see the same crew standards on every visit: professional-grade Rotobrush agitation tools, Nikro HEPA vacuums running negative-pressure extraction, and a camera inspection before we wrap up. A live person answers our phone 24/7, which matters when your dryer suddenly stops drying and you want to know what a fix will cost without leaving a voicemail.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and we’re held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Every job is also covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge.
Dryer Vent Repair in Bloomington
Dryer Vent Repair in Bloomington is often needed on older ranch homes where the original vent hood has cracked from decades of sun and the interior transition duct has sagged at an elbow. We repair or replace damaged hood flaps, crushed transition duct, disconnected runs, and corroded caps at the exterior wall. A typical repair in Bloomington runs $95 – $190 when the access is straightforward, and we give you that price in writing before touching anything.
Exterior Hood and Cap Replacement
On Bloomington’s older homes, especially the 1950s and 60s ranches off Cedar Avenue and Valley Boulevard, the white plastic hood flap is usually the first thing to fail. High desert sun turns the plastic brittle, the flap stops opening, and lint packs the opening shut. We replace those with metal louvered hoods, then run a camera check to confirm the full run is clear.
Transition Duct Repair
The flexible foil duct that connects the dryer to the wall is the most common repair point in Bloomington laundry rooms. Foil goes too easily, sagging between the back of the dryer and the wall. We replace it with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct that holds its shape, and we stock the parts locally so we don’t have to reschedule you while something ships.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Bloomington
As a Dryer Vent Cleaning Company serving Bloomington, we don’t just blow compressed air through your vent line and call it done. We run rotary agitation through the entire run, pull the loosened lint out under negative pressure, and inspect with a camera so you can see the before-and-after. A standard dryer vent cleaning in Bloomington runs $150 – $280 for a whole system, one flat price, agreed before work starts.
Camera Inspection Before and After
We run a camera through your vent run at the start and again when we finish. On a 1960s ranch off Valley Boulevard near Cedar Avenue, our tech pulled a Nikro vacuum hose and agitation tools through a 12-foot straight vent run behind the dryer, then ran a camera inspection and found the flexible foil duct had sagged and collected lint at the last elbow. After source removal with negative pressure and a final exterior-hood check, the homeowner’s dryer cycle dropped noticeably in time and the white plastic hood flap finally opened freely. We took before-and-after photographs of both the duct interior and the hood so the homeowner could see exactly what came out.
That’s our standard on every Bloomington job. If you’re near Bloomington High School or in a subdivision off Slover Avenue, you get the same camera proof and the same flat per-system price.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Bloomington Homes
- Brittle exterior hood flapping shut. On Bloomington’s older ranch homes with short exterior-wall vent runs, the plastic hood flap degrades from the outside in. Sun and moisture freeze the flap closed, and lint packs behind it until the dryer can’t push air out at all.
- Sagging foil transition duct. The 1950s and 60s laundry alcoves pressed against exterior walls often still have original foil duct behind the dryer. It sags at the last elbow near the wall and collects lint there even when the rest of the run is open.
- Lint built up at the last elbow before the hood. Because many Bloomington vent runs are short and straight, homeowners assume they’re fine. But the sharp elbow right before the exterior hood is exactly where we find the densest packing.
- Bird or rodent nests at the termination. Bloomington’s mix of open fields and older neighborhoods means exterior hoods without guards get frequent bird nesting in spring. A nest at the termination compounds every other vent problem.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bloomington, CA
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Bloomington runs $150 – $280 for a whole system. Shorter, accessible runs near the exterior wall, like most central Bloomington ranch homes, land at the lower end of that range. Longer attic chases in newer subdivisions south of the 10 run higher because they take more time and more agitation passes. Repairs like hood replacement or transition duct swap run $95 – $190 when access is normal. We never quote per vent and we never raise the price once we’re at your door. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bloomington
Once every 12 to 18 months for most Bloomington households. If you run the dryer daily with a large household or dry heavy work clothes from outdoor jobs, schedule annually. If your vent run is short and straight and you rarely notice longer dry cycles, every 18 months is honest. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you straight whether you need it yet.
One flat price per system. We quote the whole job, from dryer to exterior hood, and we don’t price per vent or add on charges once we’re in the laundry room. You get a written price before we start, and that price doesn’t change at the door.
No. We run rotary agitation through the liner, then pull loosened lint out under negative pressure so it goes into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room. We camera-inspect the full run before and after, and we photograph both the interior and the exterior hood. You see exactly what came out.
Shorter runs are easier to clean and less likely to clog mid-run, but they still fail at the exterior hood. On Bloomington’s older rental stock with shallow-wall terminations, the hood flap is frequently the actual blockage. We check that first, then the duct behind the dryer. Call (737) 727-2314 for an honest assessment.
We repair and replace. Damaged hood flaps, crushed or sagging transition duct, disconnected runs, and corroded caps are all in-scope. We’ll quote the repair separately and in writing, and it’s covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair fails within a year, we return and correct it at no charge.
