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 Crowley
Dryer vent cleaning in Crowley, TX typically runs $135 – $275 for a standard single-dryer home, and most jobs are completed the same week you call. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay: one flat rate per system, written down before any work starts. That matters because a clogged dryer vent is a fire risk first and an appliance problem second. Every year, lint buildup causes thousands of house fires in North Texas, and Crowley’s hot, dry summers only make that lint more flammable. If your dryer’s been taking 60+ minutes to dry a load, the vent is telling you something. Call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll inspect it properly.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Crowley’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Crowley homeowners call us because we document the work. Every dryer vent cleaning includes before-and-after photos of the actual vent run, not a stock image of someone else’s ducts. You see the lint we pulled out. You see the airflow at the exterior hood after we’re done. That’s the Relay Standard, and it’s non-negotiable on every job we run in Crowley.
Our technicians carry professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems to agitate caked lint off the vent walls, and Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuums to pull debris out under negative pressure, which means the lint goes into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room. These aren’t truck-mounted shop vacs or a brush on a drill. They’re the same tooling commercial properties require.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, which means every booking comes with a live trackable arrival window, a written price before work begins, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. You’ll know your technician’s name before they knock. And they’ll be in uniform, background-checked, and ready to explain exactly what they’re doing and why.
Omar Haddad, who leads our Crowley team, put it plainly: a dryer vent cleaning should never end with the homeowner wondering whether anything actually happened. Our crews operate on that standard. You get photo proof, a written report of what we found, and airflow verification at the exterior hood before we leave.
Dryer Vent Installation in Crowley
Dryer Vent Installation in Crowley means more than mounting a new cap on the wall. It’s the full replacement of the vent run, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination point, done to current fire code, with ridged or rigid metal duct where the structure allows. A standard full installation in Crowley runs $350 – $650 depending on the run length and whether the vent goes through a wall or up through the roof. Every installation includes a written price before any materials are cut and a warranty in writing. Period.
New Construction and Renovation Runs
If you’re building or gut-renovating a home in one of the newer Crowley subdivisions off FM 1187, call us before the drywall goes up. We’ll map the shortest, straightest vent path possible. Short runs with minimal elbows mean less lint accumulation and fewer cleanings over the life of the home. It costs far less to get the run right at framing stage than to re-route a bad one after the walls are closed.
Replacing Crushed or Foil Duct
Builders in the 1990s and early 2000s often used flexible foil duct, which is exactly what it sounds like: thin, crushable, and prone to sagging. If your Crowley home still has it, replacing it with rigid pipe usually pays for itself within a couple of cleanings. We’ll show you photos of what your current run looks like before recommending a replacement. No upselling. Just the facts.
Dryer Vent Repair in Crowley
Dryer Vent Repair in Crowley is what happens when the vent is leaking, disconnected, crushed, or terminated incorrectly. Most repairs in older Crowley homes run $150 – $400, depending on access and what’s broken. A disconnected vent in a wall cavity isn’t just inefficient; it’s pumping humid air and lint into your framing. If you smell laundry detergent in an interior wall or the dryer has started leaving clothes hot and damp, call us. We’ll camera-inspect the run and show you exactly what’s wrong before quoting a fix.
Loose Joints and Disconnections
The most common repair we make in Crowley is a joint that pulled apart at an elbow, usually right behind the dryer or where the run crosses through the floor framing. If a previous appliance delivery pushed the dryer back too hard, the segment can separate and you’ll see lint building up in strange places. We reconnect, seal, and re-secure the run, then verify airflow at the exterior hood.
Vent Rerouting and Code Corrections
Some older Crowley houses have vents that terminate in the soffit, the garage, or just short of the roof line, all of which are code failures now. Vent rerouting runs $450 – $850 depending on structural access and run length. We handle the full correction: new termination point, rigid duct where required, exterior hood with a backdraft damper, and before-and-after photo documentation of the new path.
Trusted Brands We Service in Crowley
The dryer vent isn’t a standalone system, so the brands we work with matter. We install and service vent runs connected to Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, and GE dryers, and we keep compatible hoods, dampers, and rigid duct materials in stock for Crowley jobs to avoid delays. When filtration matters, we work with Aprilaire and Honeywell products. If the vent run itself needs containment or negative-pressure work, we bring Abatement Technologies units so the job stays clean. You won’t wait on a special-order part from somewhere else. We show up ready to work.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Crowley Homes
- Long vertical runs through two-story interior walls. Older blocks near downtown Crowley often route the dryer vent up through an interior chase to the roof. Those runs hold more lint than horizontal ones because gravity works against you, and they’re harder to clean without proper rotary brush tooling.
- Crushed flexible foil duct behind the dryer. We see this constantly, especially in homes where the laundry is in a closet and the dryer gets shoved back against the wall. The first elbow collapses, lint packs solid, and the dryer starts tripping its high-limit thermostat.
- Plastic or foil exterior hoods with weak dampers. Crowley sits in a high-wind corridor, and cheap exterior terminations let dust and debris blow back into the vent. A proper louvered hood with a strong damper stops that, and it’s a $40 – $75 fix.
- Improperly supported runs that came apart. We’ve pulled drywall off and found a vent segment that detached fifteen years ago, quietly dumping lint and humid air into a floor cavity. If the dryer has always worked poorly, the vent was never right to begin with.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Crowley, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Crowley costs $135 – $275 for a standard single-dryer home. That’s one flat price per system, not a per-vent price that climbs after the technician arrives. What moves the number: the vent run length, the roof pitch if it terminates through the roof, and whether the dryer is on an exterior wall or buried in an interior closet. Condos and apartments with shared or concealed runs may run higher because access takes longer. Every quote includes a camera inspection, mechanical agitation of the full run, HEPA-filtered extraction, airflow verification at the hood, and before-and-after photos. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote, and you’ll get a written price before any work is scheduled. If the lower end of that range is what you need, say so: we’ll tell you honestly whether your home qualifies.
Some companies quote $49 or $79 for a dryer vent cleaning and then arrive with a vacuum and a drill brush, spend fifteen minutes on the first few feet, and hand you an invoice that’s twice the advertised price once they “discover” how long the run is. A Crowley homeowner asked us why our quote was higher than a coupon he’d received. We showed him a photo of another local vent clogged solid at the first elbow and asked: do you want the first elbow cleaned, or the whole run? We clean the whole run, every time, for one price. No per-vent add-ons. No surprise charges at the door.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Crowley
Every 12 – 24 months for most Crowley homes. If your dryer vent routes up through a roof it’s on the shorter side of that range, because vertical runs trap more lint. If you dry 5+ loads a week, have a long-haired pet, or still have flexible foil duct, annual is smarter. If the dryer takes 60+ minutes to dry a towel, you’re already past due. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll camera-check the run before recommending a schedule.
One flat price per system. Not per vent, not per register, not per foot. You get a written price for the entire dryer vent run before we start, and it doesn’t change. If we find significant damage that needs repair, we show you photos, explain the fix, and give you a separate written price for the repair. You decide. We don’t start repair work without your approval.
We run a camera from both the dryer connection and the exterior termination to map the full vent path. Then we mechanically agitate the run with rotary brush tooling to break lint free from the vent walls. A HEPA-filtered vacuum runs in parallel under negative pressure, so loosened debris exits into the vacuum, not your laundry room. We verify airflow at the exterior hood, re-run the camera, and show you before-and-after photos. For full respiratory protection on heavy buildup jobs, we use Abatement Technologies containment and air-scrubbing units. That’s the whole job.
Yes. Interior closets in Crowley almost always mean a vertical run through the wall and often through the roof. Those runs need more aggressive rotary tooling, and they can be more expensive to clean because access from both ends is harder. The cleanup takes longer too. The flat-price model covers that: your quote already accounts for interior access, so there’s no surprise when we’re on site. What it does mean is that you should schedule more regularly, because vertical runs pack lint faster.
Yes. We handle full dryer vent installation, repair, rerouting, cap replacement, and bird guard installation in Crowley. If we find crushed foil duct, a disconnected joint, or a vent that terminates somewhere it shouldn’t, we’ll show you photo evidence and quote the fix in writing. Installation typically runs $350 – $650 and repair $150 – $400. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate and a written quote before you commit.
