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.

Every booking runs on The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo proof, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone.

Broadview Heights sits on some of the highest ground in Cuyahoga County, and that changes how dryer vents behave here. Homes along the Brecksville Reservation ridge line often have second-floor laundry closets with long, mostly vertical vent runs that collect lint in ways a basement-level vent never will. We know those runs because we have inspected them, cleaned them, and filmed them across this city.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Broadview Heights’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We built our name in this area by doing exactly what this page says we do. The dryer vent work here is not a side service bolted onto a general handyman business. It is one of three specialties, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning team runs professional-grade equipment every day: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units where needed.
Broadview Heights homeowners see the difference before we even start. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and you learn their name before they arrive. That matters when someone is walking through your laundry room and up to your roof or side wall. Omar Haddad leads this location, and the standard here is simple: do the job correctly, show proof of the work, and stand behind it for a full year.
Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That is not a promotional hook. It is the standing offer on every booking, including dryer vent cleaning in Broadview Heights and the surrounding Cuyahoga County suburbs.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Broadview Heights
A Dryer Vent Inspection in Broadview Heights starts with a camera pushed through the full length of the vent, from the dryer connection to the outside termination point. We record what we find, show you the footage on the spot, and flag any blockage, sag, loose joint, or termination cover that is failing. Inspection is included with every cleaning we perform, never sold separately as an add-on.
You need this inspection when your dryer takes more than one full cycle to dry a normal load, when the exterior flap won’t open during operation, or when you have just bought a home and have no record of the vent ever being cleaned. In Broadview Heights, that last one comes up regularly because the housing stock mixes late-1990s builds with older split-levels. A dryer may look fine and still have hidden lint packed at a mid-run elbow.
What the Camera Shows You
Most homeowners have never seen the inside of their own dryer vent. The camera inspection changes that in about five minutes. You see exactly where the lint sits, how much of the diameter is blocked, and what the termination looks like from inside. After cleaning, we run the camera again so you see the difference with your own eyes.
That before-and-after footage is yours. We don’t show you a stock photo of a dirty vent from some other house. We show your vent, your run length, your termination point, and the exact same camera angles after we finish.
Inspection-Only Pricing
If you just want the inspection without a full cleaning, most Broadview Heights inspections run $89 to $129 depending on access. But there is an honest caveat: once we see the blockage on camera, almost everyone schedules the cleaning. That’s why we roll the inspection cost into the cleaning price when you book both in one visit.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Broadview Heights
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Broadview Heights covers the coin-op laundry rooms, apartment building laundry closets, salons, and fitness facilities that operate multiple dryers through shared or long vent runs. These systems need cleaning on a more frequent schedule than a single-family home, and the pricing reflects run access, dryer count, and how much lint the operation generates per week.
Most commercial dryer vent cleanings in Broadview Heights run between $199 and $449 per system, with multi-dryer facilities priced after a walkthrough and camera inspection. The written price you get before work begins is the price you pay. That matters on commercial jobs where downtime costs money and the invoice should never be a surprise.
Multi-Dryer Facilities
A building with six dryers sharing a common vent trunk is not six times harder to clean. It’s a different job. The shared trunk collects lint from every appliance, and the trunk’s diameter and slope determine how fast it loads up. We film the trunk before we clean it, then document every connection point after.
Property managers in Broadview Heights use our reports to schedule recurring cleanings before lint becomes a fire or airflow problem. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to commercial work the same as it does for a single-family home.
Recurring Maintenance Schedules
High-volume facilities typically need cleaning every three to six months. We set a schedule, remind you when it is due, and maintain an inspection record for each vent run so you can show compliance if your insurer or lender asks. The documentation includes camera stills and airflow readings from each visit.
Trusted Brands We Service in Broadview Heights
We stock common parts and replacement vents for the brands most Broadview Heights homes actually have. That includes Guardsman vent caps and termination hoods, Aprilaire filtration components, and equipment from Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies. When a vent cap has cracked in a Northeast Ohio winter or a bird guard has pulled loose at the roof line, we typically replace it on the same visit rather than ordering a part and coming back another day. Our vans carry the termination covers and guards we use most often here so the job finishes in one trip.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Broadview Heights Homes
- Vertical runs from second-floor laundry closets. Homes along the ridge line near the Brecksville Reservation often send dryer exhaust up through the roof instead of out a wall. Lint settles at the mid-point elbow where the run changes direction, and the lint trap stays clean while the vent itself chokes down to a fraction of its diameter.
- Old foil or vinyl flex duct behind the dryer. Many Broadview Heights split-levels from the 1970s and 1980s still have thin, flexible duct that tears when agitated incorrectly. We identify the termination type first, then choose tools that clean without shredding the run.
- Sagging horizontal sections near the air handler closet. Because build era varies from street to street, some vents terminate at a side wall and some at the roof. Crews that assume one pattern miss the sag where a horizontal section droops and traps lint like a dam.
- Bird and rodent debris at the roof termination. A dryer vent that ends on the roof is an open door for starlings and mice in Cuyahoga County. We find nests, droppings, and packed lint at roof-level terminations throughout the warmer months, and we install or replace guards when the cap is damaged.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Broadview Heights, OH
A standard single-family dryer vent cleaning in Broadview Heights runs $149 to $289, flat per system, including the camera inspection and before-and-after photo documentation. Longer vertical runs, roof terminations requiring ladder access, or heavy blockage add to the quoted price, but you always see that written number before we start. We do not charge per vent. You are not billed by the foot. The price we hand you is the price on the invoice.
For comparison, a roof-terminated second-floor vent on the ridge line usually lands around $229 to $289 because accessing the roof termination safely takes time. A short basement horizontal vent in a ranch typically lands closer to $149. Commercial systems start at $199 and go up based on dryer count and access. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate with a written quote before scheduling.
In a Broadview Heights subdivision off Royalton Road, our tech pulled camera footage of a second-floor laundry closet venting up through the roof. The run was almost entirely vertical and roughly 22 feet, packed solid at the mid-point elbow while the lint trap looked clean. Using agitation tools and negative pressure, we pulled the lint out through a sealed connection, confirmed flow at the roof termination, and showed the homeowner before-and-after photos of their own vent. Not a stock image. Their actual duct.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Broadview Heights
Every 12 to 18 months for most Broadview Heights homes. Households with second-floor vertical runs, gas dryers, or more than two loads per day should lean toward every 12 months. The ridge-line subdivisions near the Brecksville Reservation tend to need attention sooner because vertical runs hold lint at elbows the homeowner can never see from the trap. If your clothes take more than one cycle to dry, book a camera inspection first. Call (737) 727-2314 and we will help you figure out whether your vent actually needs work or not.
We identify the vent termination point first, then run a camera through the full length to see the condition and location of any blockage. Next we use rotary agitation and negative-pressure extraction, which means loosened lint goes straight into the HEPA vacuum instead of back into your laundry room. Finally, we confirm airflow at the termination and show you before-and-after photos of your own vent. The same visit can include a cap or guard replacement if the existing one is cracked or missing. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule; estimates are free.
We charge one flat price per system, never per vent. The written quote you get before work begins covers the entire dryer vent run, the inspection, the cleaning, and the photo documentation. There is no per-vent add-on, no foot-by-foot pricing, and no price change once our tech is at your house. That is the whole point of The Relay Standard.
No. Dryer vent cleaning targets the duct that carries hot exhaust from your dryer to the outside, while air duct cleaning covers the HVAC supply and return ducts that move heated and cooled air through your home. If you are looking for Broadview Heights HVAC Cleaning, that is a separate service. Different systems, different equipment settings, different risks. If you need both, we schedule them separately and price each one separately. Ask us when you call and we will tell you which one your home actually needs.
We run local routes through Broadview Heights every week, and we often have same-week availability, but we do not promise same-day service. Dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled job with a specific inspection process, and we would rather give you an honest arrival window you can track than a same-day promise the crew cannot keep. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person will give you the next available slot and a trackable arrival window.
