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 Camas
Dryer vent cleaning in Camas, WA typically costs $149 – $289 as a flat price per dryer system, not per vent. That price holds from the moment we arrive until the invoice is sent. Most crews serving Camas homeowners complete the full job, including camera inspection and before-and-after photos, in 60 to 90 minutes. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
We work throughout Camas from the Prune Hill slopes to the Lacamas Lake flats, and we know the housing stock here. Older hillside homes off Everett Street hide runs that are 20 feet or longer, sagging between joists where lint settles. Newer construction near Grass Valley pulls from the same Gorge wind patterns. That local knowledge shapes how we clean, what we inspect, and why we never quote a price that shifts once the technician is inside.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Camas’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Omar Haddad leads our Camas-facing crews, and he has built a reputation for showing up with a written price and honoring it. Homeowners near the Camas High School neighborhood and along 38th Avenue tell us the same thing: they wanted a price before the work started, not a “well, let’s see what we find” conversation. That is exactly how we operate. The number we quote is the number you pay. No per-vent surprises.
We answer calls with a live person around the clock. That matters on a Tuesday evening when you notice your dryer taking two cycles to finish a load. You will not get a voicemail loop or a call center script. You will get a real person who can schedule your visit and give you a straight answer on cost.
Every Camas job includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If our work is not right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That is not a limited guarantee on select services. It covers every dryer vent cleaning and inspection we perform in Camas, Washougal, Vancouver, and the surrounding area.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Camas
As a Dryer Vent Cleaning Company serving Camas, we handle the entire lint pathway from the dryer connection to the exterior termination point. The job starts with disconnecting the dryer, then running our Rotobrush agitation system through the full run while a Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum pulls negative pressure at the other end. Negative pressure means the loosened lint goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room. For Camas homes, most standard runs cost $149 – $289 as one flat price per system.
When does a Camas homeowner actually need this? If a load takes longer than one full cycle to dry, if the exterior damper flap does not open when the dryer runs, or if you cannot remember the last cleaning, it is time. Homes with longer runs from a basement laundry to a roof or side-wall termination need more attention than a short main-floor run.
One Flat Price, Not Per-Vent
You will find dryer vent cleaning companies that quote per vent. We do not. Per-vent pricing creates an incentive to skip sections of the run. Our flat price per system means the entire pathway is cleaned, from the dryer connection to the exterior cap. The price is written before any work starts, and it does not change at the door.
Before-and-After Photos of Your Own Duct
You should see proof the work happened. We photograph the interior of your dryer vent before we clean and again after. Those photos go to you the same visit, along with a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. That is the Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, photo documentation, and a written price. No guessing.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Camas
A Dryer Vent Inspection in Camas costs $89 – $149 when booked as a standalone service, and it includes a full camera walk of the run. We feed a camera down the entire vent pathway to look for sagging flexible foil, disconnected joints, packed lint at low points, and failed damper flaps. You see the footage. You get a written summary of what we found and what actually needs doing. If cleaning is not needed, we tell you that plainly and charge only the inspection fee.
Camera Walk of the Lint Pathway
The camera catches what a quick shop-vac at the trap cannot. In Camas hillside homes, older flexible-foil runs sag between joists. Lint settles at the low point, and the trap stays empty while the restriction builds. The camera shows exactly where that low point sits and how much buildup is there.
When an Inspection Is All You Need
If you just bought a home in Camas and do not know the vent’s history, an inspection is the right call. Same if you rent out a property near Lacamas Lake and want documentation that the dryer ventilation is clear for a new tenant. We will not sell you a cleaning you do not need. If the run is clean and the damper works, we say so.
Trusted Brands We Service in Camas
We service and clean dryer vent systems connected to all major dryer brands, and we run professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro on every Camas job. If you have a longer run or a complex crawlspace termination, we bring Abatement Technologies containment units to keep the workspace clean. Parts common to Camas installations, including spring-loaded exterior dampers, vent caps, and bird guards, are stocked on our service vehicles. When a damper flap has sheared off in the Gorge wind, you will not wait a week for a part.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Camas Homes
- Wind-sheared damper flaps on north and west walls. Camas sits on the edge of the Columbia River Gorge, and the pressure swings in spring and fall work damper flaps loose. The flap shears off, and lint that should exit the house blows back toward the crawlspace. You see lint coating the siding. The trap looks clean. The run is packing itself.
- Sagging flexible-foil runs in older hillside homes. Homes off Everett Street, Crown Road, and the Prune Hill slopes frequently have dryer runs that run 14 feet or more through joist bays. The foil sags between supports, lint settles at the low point, and a shop-vac at the trap does nothing for it. Camera inspection finds the restriction every time.
- The empty trap, pulling harder. When the dryer blower motor pulls against a clogged vent, the trap stays empty while the air handler works harder. Homeowners assume the vent is fine because the trap is not filling. The motor runs hot, drying time doubles, and the restriction sits at the transition box upstream.
- Per-vent pricing that skipped the vent. We regularly see Camas homes where a previous cleaning was quoted per vent, the homeowner skipped the dryer vent entirely to save money, and the lint pathway has not been touched in years. One flat price per system removes that decision. The whole run gets cleaned.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Camas, WA
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Camas runs $149 – $289 as a flat price per dryer system. Standalone camera inspections run $89 – $149. Replacing a wind-damaged exterior damper or vent cap typically adds $45 – $90, depending on the part. A longer run, a second-floor laundry with a roof termination, or a heavy lint blockage can push the cleaning to the upper end of the range, but the price is written before we start and it does not change. Estimates are free. Call (737) 727-2314 and you will get a real person on the line, a straight price range, and a booking window you can track from your phone.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Camas
Most Camas homes need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 24 months. Households with long hillside runs, gas dryers, pets, or four or more people doing laundry will land closer to the 12-month mark. You will know it is time when drying takes longer than one full cycle, when the exterior damper will not stay closed between loads, or when the outside of the dryer feels hot during a cycle. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact assessment; camera inspection tells us in minutes whether cleaning is actually due.
We charge one flat price per dryer system, $149 – $289 in Camas. The price is written before any work begins and it does not change. We never quote per vent because that creates a reason to skip sections of the run. The flat price means the entire lint pathway, from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, gets cleaned.
The camera shows the entire interior of the dryer vent run: sagging foil, disconnected joints, packed lint at low points, failed dampers, and bird or rodent activity. On a windy April call in the Prune Hill area, our tech traced a customer’s ‘clean vent’ to a missing exterior damper flap on the north wall, where lint was coating the siding instead of exiting the run. We ran a camera inspection down the 14-foot flexible run, cleared the packed lint pathway with agitation tools, and fitted a new spring-loaded damper. Before-and-after photos of the duct interior went to the homeowner the same visit.
We use Rotobrush brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums on Camas jobs every week. If you have a prior invoice from another company that used this equipment, we can continue with the same professional-grade standard. Our technicians are trained on this exact equipment and arrive in uniform, background-checked, with the tools in the van. You will know the technician’s name before they open the door.
If your dryer vent was just cleaned within the last six months, the camera inspection shows a clear pathway, the damper flap opens and closes freely, and your drying times are normal, you do not need another cleaning yet. We will tell you that plainly and document it. That is the honest answer. If you want the reassurance of a camera check, book the standalone inspection for $89 – $149 and we will only recommend cleaning if the footage shows it is needed. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule.
