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 Cibolo
Dryer vent cleaning in Cibolo typically costs $129 – $269 depending on vent length, access, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Most homes here fall into two very different categories: newer two-story builds with long vent runs through attic space, and older single-story homes with shorter exterior wall terminations. That spread matters because a 25-foot run with three elbows holds far more lint than a six-foot straight shot. We schedule Cibolo jobs throughout the week and our techs know the subdivisions, the housing stock, and where vents tend to hide. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate and a written price before any work starts.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Cibolo’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning is part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every independently owned location operates under The Relay Visibility Guarantee. For Cibolo homeowners that means a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation of the actual duct interior, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone before the tech leaves your driveway. No four-hour arrival windows. No wondering whether the work was actually done.
Our techs are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know your technician’s name before they knock. The equipment is professional grade: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuums for negative-pressure extraction – meaning loosened lint goes straight into the sealed vacuum, not back into your laundry room – and Abatement Technologies containment units when a job gets into wall cavities or attic spaces. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every Cibolo job: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and make it right at no charge.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and the standard is simple: a written price is handed to you before a single duct is touched, and that number does not change at the door. Homeowners in Cibolo’s Steelwood Park, Turning Stone, and Bentwood Ranch communities have trusted our Dryer Vent Cleaning team because the invoice matches the quote and the photos match the promise.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Cibolo
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Cibolo means a full-length cleaning of the vent run from the dryer’s transition duct to the exterior termination – not a quick blow-through with a leaf blower. We start with a camera inspection so you see exactly what’s inside the vent before we touch it. Then we agitate the lint with a rotating brush, extract it under negative pressure with a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and run a second camera pass at the end so you can compare before and after. Every Cibolo job includes those before-and-after photos. No exceptions.
Camera Inspection First
The camera is the most important step, and most companies skip it. Without seeing inside the run, a tech cannot tell whether the vent is actually clean or whether a clog is still sitting at an elbow 18 feet in. In Cibolo’s two-story homes where vents run through unconditioned attic space, lint packs hard at elbows and compresses into a felt-like mass that air alone will never move. We show you the before photo, we show you the after photo, and you know the job was done.
HEPA Extraction, Not Blow-Out
A straight blow-out pushes loose lint toward the exterior cap but leaves compacted buildup adhered to the vent walls, especially at every 90-degree elbow. Our setup pairs a rotary brush with negative pressure so the loosened debris is pulled backward into the sealed vacuum, not dispersed through the attic. For Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cibolo homes with 20-plus foot runs, this is the difference between a cosmetic pass and a genuinely clear vent.
Dryer Vent Installation in Cibolo
Dryer Vent Installation in Cibolo covers new vent runs, replacement of damaged or undersized ducting, and rerouting of poorly designed existing runs. Many Cibolo homes built during the 2000s boom have flexible foil or vinyl transition ducts behind the dryer that sag, crimp, and trap lint at the first elbow. Those materials no longer meet code and we replace them with rigid metal ducting that maintains proper airflow. New runs and replacements in Cibolo typically run $180 – $420 depending on length, access, and whether we’re working in attic space or through an exterior wall.
Rigid Metal Reroutes
When a run has too many elbows or sags through unconditioned attic space, rerouting is often cheaper over the life of the home than cleaning it every eight months. We install smooth-wall rigid metal duct with minimal bends, support it properly, and seal every joint so lint accelerates to the exterior instead of settling mid-run. The goal is a vent that stays cleaner longer and dries your clothes faster.
Termination and Bird Guard Work
Exterior terminations crack, flap assemblies fail, and birds find vent caps irresistible. We install bird guards, replace damaged caps, and when Cibolo’s clay-heavy soil shifts and cracks a termination set in the siding or foundation, we repair the penetration and get the exhaust back outside where it belongs. A cracked vent termination can leak lint into the wall cavity silently for years.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cibolo
Our equipment fleet includes Rotobrush brush systems, Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units – professional-grade tools that most dryer vent services do not carry. For filtration and air quality hardware, we stock and service Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman products. If your Cibolo home already has an Aprilaire filtration setup or a Guardsman vent cap, our techs are familiar with the hardware and can typically source replacement parts locally without a second visit. For dryer vents specifically, the parts that matter most are rigid metal duct sections, proper termination caps, and bird guards – and our trucks carry them into every Cibolo job.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Cibolo Homes
- Long attic runs in two-story plans. Cibolo’s newer master-planned subdivisions like Turning Stone and Bentwood Ranch often have vent runs pushing 25 feet or more with multiple elbows through unconditioned attic space. Lint accumulates fastest at those elbows, where it compacts under heat and becomes almost impossible to remove without physical agitation and a camera to confirm the result.
- Sagging or crimped flexible transition ducts. Homes built during Cibolo’s 2000s growth spurt commonly have foil or vinyl transition ducts behind the dryer. These sag under their own weight, pinch at the first bend, and trap lint that a simple air blow-out will leave in place. We replace them with rigid metal.
- Failing exterior terminations. Cibolo’s clay-heavy soil expands and contracts seasonally. Exterior vent terminations set in the foundation or siding can crack or separate over time, which lets lint exhaust into the wall cavity instead of outside. It’s invisible from the laundry room and only shows up on a camera or a physical inspection of the exterior termination.
- The clean-lint-trap false security. Homeowners in Cibolo’s newer subdivisions assume a clean lint trap means a clean vent. The trap catches only a fraction of what accumulates in a long run. A vent can be 70% blocked while the trap looks fine, and the first warning sign is usually a dryer that suddenly takes two full cycles.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cibolo
Every 12 to 18 months for most Cibolo homes, and every 8 to 12 months for two-story homes with long attic runs or households that run the dryer daily with large loads. Newer subdivisions with extended runs need more frequent attention than older single-story homes with short direct terminations. If your clothes are taking longer than one full cycle to dry, that’s the signal to call (737) 727-2314 rather than waiting for a schedule reminder.
The three most reliable signs are: clothes taking longer than one cycle to dry, the exterior vent flap barely moving during a cycle, or a burning smell when the dryer runs. None of those require the dryer to stop working. A camera inspection confirms it in minutes, and we include that inspection as part of every Cibolo cleaning. If the vent tests clear, we’ll tell you and you won’t pay for an unnecessary cleaning – but in our experience, Cibolo homes with long attic runs rarely test clean once symptoms appear.
Flat price for the whole system, always. No per-vent pricing, no add-on at the door. The price you get on the phone or before work starts is the price on the invoice. For Cibolo homes, that means $129 – $269 for a full cleaning, camera inspection, agitation, HEPA extraction, and before-and-after photos. Dryer vent installation and rerouting runs $180 – $420. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote – no cost, no obligation.
No. A real cleaning starts with a camera inspection to see the lint load and locate every elbow. Then we agitate the vent walls with a rotating brush, extract the loosened debris under negative pressure with a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and finish with a second camera pass to confirm the vent is clear end to end. You get before-and-after photos of your actual vent. Blowing air alone leaves compacted lint at the elbows, and Cibolo’s long attic runs are exactly where that lint hides.
Yes. We install new rigid metal vent runs, replace sagging or crimped foil transition ducts, and reroute inefficient designs with too many elbows or unnecessary length. In Cibolo, many 2000s-era homes were built with flexible ducts that should have been upgraded years ago. A proper rigid metal installation runs $180 – $420, and the job includes sealing, support, and a final airflow check. A badly routed vent costs more in repeated cleanings than a one-time reroute. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
