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.

AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Bulverde
Dryer vent cleaning in Bulverde typically costs $140 – $280 for a single-dryer home, and the whole job usually takes 60 to 90 minutes once our tech is set up. Most Bulverde homes can be scheduled within a few business days. If you live off Bulverde Road, up around Johnson Ranch, or back on an acreage lot near Cibolo Creek, you already know the drill: longer runs, roof terminations, and lint that packs itself into places a vacuum attachment never reaches. That’s exactly why we work the way we do. One flat price per system, quoted in writing before we touch a single clamp, and camera-verified before-and-after photos so you see what got cleared. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through it.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Bulverde’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning is part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and we operate on a standard most Bulverde homeowners tell us they’ve never seen from a vent cleaner: total visibility. That means a live trackable arrival window, a written price before work starts, and photo documentation of your own vent run when we’re finished. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they show up with professional-grade equipment, not a shop vac and a prayer.
Bulverde customers consistently mention two things in reviews: the flat pricing and the before-and-after photos. Nobody likes the bait-and-switch where a $49 dryer vent coupon becomes a $400 invoice once the tech is on the driveway. We don’t do per-vent pricing, we don’t add line items mid-job, and we don’t leave a mess behind. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every booking without exception. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge.
Our team knows Bulverde’s housing stock: ranch-style homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, newer two-story homes in subdivisions like Johnson Ranch, and custom homes on acreage where the dryer vent terminates through the roof or runs 25-plus feet horizontally. Local knowledge matters because a roof-terminated dryer vent in Bulverde is a completely different job than a short wall thimble in a dense metro suburb.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Bulverde
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Bulverde should understand one thing about this area before quoting anything: many homes here have dryer vent runs that are far longer and more convoluted than the national average. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team pulls the transition duct behind the dryer, runs a camera through the full lint pathway, agitates the walls of the run to break up packed debris, and uses negative-pressure extraction so loosened lint goes into our HEPA vacuum, not back into your laundry room. For most Bulverde homes the job runs $140 – $280 and takes under two hours.
Camera-Verified Source Removal
We don’t clean what we can’t see. On Bulverde’s longer runs, especially roof terminations, there are elbows and dips where lint hides that a brush alone will miss. Our camera goes in first, shows the blockage, and then confirms the clear run afterward. You get those photos.
Roof and Long Horizontal Runs
A roof-terminated dryer vent on a two-story Bulverde home collects lint differently than a short wall vent. Moisture, heat, and lint form a dense mat at the termination point. We clean the full length, from the wall behind the dryer to the roof cap, and inspect the cap itself for damage or blockage.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Bulverde
A Dryer Vent Inspection in Bulverde is what every homeowner should book before paying for a full cleaning, or after buying a home where the previous owner’s dryer habits are a mystery. We run a high-resolution camera through the entire vent run and show you exactly what’s in there. In Bulverde, where many homes have roofline terminations and long horizontal sections, an inspection frequently reveals packed lint, bird nesting material near the cap, or kinked transition duct behind the dryer that no amount of filter cleaning will fix. Inspection-only service runs $75 – $120 when booked on its own, and if you proceed with a cleaning on the same visit, the inspection fee rolls into the flat cleaning price.
After the Sale, Before the Fire
Buying a home in Bulverde? The previous owner may not have cleaned the dryer vent in a decade. An inspection during escrow or right after closing tells you whether that “great price” includes a lint fire waiting to happen. We document everything with photos you can keep.
Roof Cap and Termination Checks
Bulverde’s wind, hail, and occasional ice can damage roof caps and let birds or rodents into the vent. During inspection we check the cap, the flap, and the screen. If the cap is cracked or the flap is stuck open, we’ll tell you before it becomes a bigger problem.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Bulverde Homes
- Roof-terminated vents on newer two-story builds. These runs can be 20 to 35 feet long with multiple elbows, which means lint accumulates faster and packs tighter than in a short wall-vent. A camera inspection is the only way to see what’s actually in there.
- Horizontal runs on ranch homes that stretch across an attic. Many Bulverde ranch homes have a dryer on an interior wall with a vent that runs 15 to 25 feet through the attic before exiting a soffit or gable end. That length is a lint trap by design.
- Bird and rodent activity around vent caps. Bulverde sits in Hill Country where birds constantly look for warm, sheltered cavities in spring. We regularly pull nesting material out of uncapped or damaged vent terminations.
- Foil transition duct that’s kinked or crushed. The flexible duct behind the dryer gets shoved, bent, and pinched. Even a clean vent run won’t perform if that transition section is collapsing. We replace it with proper rigid or semi-rigid duct when needed.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bulverde
How often does a Bulverde dryer vent actually need cleaning?
Most Bulverde homes need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months, but homes with roof terminations or runs longer than 15 feet may need it every 9 to 12 months. The rule is straightforward: if a full load of towels takes more than one cycle to dry, or if the dryer exterior gets hot during a cycle, the vent is telling you it’s time. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection if you’re unsure.
What does dryer vent cleaning cost in Bulverde?
A standard single-dryer cleaning in Bulverde runs $140 – $280. Roof-terminated runs, longer horizontal sections, and two-dryer homes land on the higher end. You’ll get a written flat price per system before we start, and it does not change at the door.
Do you promise same-day dryer vent service in Bulverde?
No. Dryer vent cleaning in Bulverde is a scheduled job, not an emergency dispatch. We book a live trackable arrival window and usually get Bulverde homes on the schedule within a few business days. If you have an urgent concern, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll talk through what’s happening and when we can get there.
How do I know the job was done right?
You’ll see it. We run a camera through the full vent run before and after the cleaning and give you photographs of both. If a blockage was cleared or a damaged cap was replaced, the photos show it. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work isn’t right within a year, we come back and correct it at no charge.
What is the leading cause of dryer fires, and does it apply on longer Bulverde runs?
According to the National Fire Protection Association, failure to clean the dryer vent is the leading cause of dryer fires, and longer runs like the roof-terminated setups common in Bulverde amplify the risk because lint accumulates faster and runs get hotter. A packed roof run on a two-story Bulverde home is a far bigger fire risk than a short wall-vent in a metro suburb. If you haven’t had your vent inspected in over a year, call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
