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 Citrus Park
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Citrus Park runs $129 – $249 for a typical single-family home, and the job takes about 60 to 90 minutes from start to finish. The price you’re quoted before we begin is the price you pay. No per-vent math, no add-ons once the ladder’s up. If you live near Citrus Park Drive, Fawn Ridge, or Countryway Boulevard, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the schedule with a written quote first.
We know this area’s housing stock, and we know the vent runs that come with it. Most Citrus Park homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s, and a large share of them route the dryer exhaust through the garage wall rather than straight out the back of the house. That means longer runs, more elbows, and more places for lint to pack in. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team works those runs daily, with camera inspection before and after so you see exactly what we cleared.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Citrus Park’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Citrus Park homeowners call us because we treat a vent cleaning like the fire-safety service it actually is. A clogged dryer vent is a leading cause of house fires in Florida, and in this neighborhood the risk runs higher than average simply because of how the ductwork travels. Omar Haddad leads our team with one standing rule: every job gets a written price before we start, and every customer gets before-and-after photos of their own vent. Not a stock photo. Their vent.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every booking is held to The Relay Standard. That means a live trackable arrival window, a tech whose name you know before the door opens, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they run Rotobrush agitation systems with Nikro HEPA extraction. When our van pulls up in Citrus Park, you already know who’s on it and what it costs.
Customers in the Fawn Ridge and Countryway areas appreciate that we don’t send a rotating cast of subcontractors. The person who answers your questions on the phone is backed by the same crew that shows up. And if something isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and correct it at no charge for a full year after the original job.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Citrus Park
Dryer Vent Inspection in Citrus Park is how you find out whether the vent actually needs cleaning without paying for work that isn’t necessary yet. We camera the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, document the lint load at each elbow, and tell you plainly if it’s time to clean or if the vent can safely wait another year. A dryer vent inspection here runs $79 – $129, and if we find a blockage during the inspection, you can apply the inspection fee toward the cleaning.
What the inspection covers
We check airflow at the termination point, look for gaps or disconnections along the run, and confirm the damper opens and closes properly. In Citrus Park’s 80s and 90s construction, the elbows are usually the failure point, so we pay close attention to every bend. You get a written summary and camera stills of anything we flag.
When to schedule one
If your dryer has started taking noticeably longer to dry a load, or the laundry room feels warm while the machine runs, book an inspection. Homeowners who bought a resale in Citrus Park often call us because nobody can tell them when the vent was last checked. A quick camera pass answers that.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus Park
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus Park serves the apartments, laundromats, and property-management buildings that run multiple dryers on shared duct runs. Commercial jobs here typically run $250 – $600 per stack or per system depending on run length and access, and we always price the system as a whole before any work happens. Proximity to the Westchase business corridor and the rental communities off Sheldon Road means property managers in Citrus Park need a crew that can work around tenant schedules and document everything for insurance records.
Apartments and multi-unit buildings
Multi-unit dryer runs collect lint faster because they cycle more often, and a blockage in one shared run can back up every unit on the line. We clean entire stacks in one visit, with before-and-after camera documentation for each termination point. Property managers get a digital report they can file, not a handwritten note.
Laundromats off Gunn Highway
Laundromat owners near Gunn Highway and Citrus Park Drive deal with heavy daily throughput, which means quarterly cleanings make far more sense than annual ones. We set up recurring schedules, price each visit upfront, and confirm every run with camera inspection. The goal is zero downtime and zero surprises on your operating budget.
Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus Park
We service every major dryer brand found in Citrus Park homes: Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Electrolux, and Kenmore. We also carry Guardsman vent guards and replacement caps in our vans, so when we find a broken damper or a missing bird guard during a cleaning off Countryway Boulevard, we can usually replace it on the spot. No ordering, no second visit, no extra trip charge. For vent reroutes and cap replacements, we stock common sizes locally so the turnaround is as fast as the cleaning itself.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Citrus Park Homes
- Garage-routed runs with extra elbows. Citrus Park’s 1980s and 1990s homes often route the dryer exhaust through the garage wall, which means the duct picks up length and turns before it exits. Lint packs at every elbow, and crews who only vacuum the first few feet leave the real blockage untouched.
- Crushed flex duct behind the dryer. We regularly find semi-rigid foil duct that’s been crushed when homeowners pushed the dryer back against the wall. That restriction doubles drying time and holds heat in the run, which is exactly what starts lint fires.
- Missing or damaged exterior caps. The dampers on exterior terminations rust out fast in Florida humidity, and once the flap breaks, birds and rodents move in. A missing cap on a Citrus Park home off Sheldon Road means nests inside the run within a season.
- Per-vent pricing surprises. Homeowners here get quoted a low per-vent figure over the phone, then told the job “actually needs” double or triple once the crew starts counting vents. Our model is one flat price per system agreed before work begins, so the invoice matches the quote.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus Park
Most Citrus Park homes need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months, but homes with garage-routed runs and multiple elbows may need it every 9 to 12 months. The honest answer depends on run length, how often you dry laundry, and what type of duct is installed. We’ll camera the run and tell you if it needs work now or can safely wait. Call (737) 727-2314 to book an inspection and get a straight answer.

Yes, it usually means a longer run with more elbows, which collects lint faster and takes a bit more time to clean thoroughly. We inspect every bend with camera, not just the first few feet, because that’s where Citrus Park garage-routed runs block up. The flat price you’re quoted accounts for the real run length. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll camera your vent to see what you’re actually dealing with.
