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 East Hemet
Dryer vent cleaning in East Hemet typically runs $129 – $219 for a standard single-dryer home, takes about 45 – 90 minutes, and should be scheduled every 12 – 18 months given how fast lint accumulates here. We work throughout East Hemet from the San Jacinto foothills down to the flats near Valle Vista, and our technicians know exactly what the decomposed granite soil and triple-digit summer heat do to vent runs in this area. Call us at (737) 727-2314 and you’ll talk to a live person who can quote a flat price over the phone, not a call center script.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is East Hemet’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every East Hemet job runs on the same standard: a written price handed to you before we touch a single vent, background-checked technicians in uniform, and before-and-after photos of your actual ducts. No guessing games. Omar Haddad leads our team with one rule: if the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it covers every dryer vent cleaning we do in East Hemet, no exceptions.
Homeowners off Stetson Avenue, Mayberry Avenue, and up in the hills near Soboba Road call us for the same reasons. They want a real number before we arrive, they want to know who’s showing up, and they want proof the lint is actually gone. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with Nikro HEPA vacuum extraction, so the debris gets pulled out of the vent run, not blown into your laundry room. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7. You’ll know your technician’s name before they ring the bell.
Dryer Vent Inspection in East Hemet
A dryer vent inspection in East Hemet is a camera-scoped look down the full length of your vent run to find blockages, crushed sections, disconnected joints, and lint crust that a quick termination check misses. We charge $79 for a standalone inspection, and if you book a full cleaning in the same visit, the inspection fee rolls into the cleaning price. In East Hemet’s ranch-style and manufactured homes, vent runs often run horizontal through attics or crawl spaces with multiple elbows, and that’s where lint hides. The camera tells us what we’re dealing with before any brush goes in.
When to Book One
Book an inspection if your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load, if the exterior flap barely moves when the dryer runs, or if you just bought a home in East Hemet and don’t know the vent run’s condition. A burning smell near the laundry area is urgent. East Hemet’s high fire-hazard zone along the San Jacinto foothills makes an inspection cheap insurance against a lint fire.
What You Get
You get a written inspection report with photos from the camera feed, a measurement of the vent run length, and an honest recommendation. If the vent is clear, we tell you that. We don’t sell cleaning on a clean vent, and that bluntness is why East Hemet homeowners trust us.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in East Hemet
Commercial dryer vent cleaning in East Hemet serves apartment complexes, mobile home parks, laundromats, and any property along Florida Avenue or Highway 74 corridor with multi-unit dryer banks. Commercial pricing runs $89 – $149 per dryer drop for recurring multi-unit contracts, and a first-time deep clean of an unmaintained commercial vent run runs $249 – $449 depending on length and access. We coordinate with property managers to schedule cleanings during low-use hours so tenants aren’t waiting on machines.
Routine Contracts
Multi-unit properties in East Hemet are full of residents drying dusty work clothes and towels, and decomposed granite dust finds its way into everything. We set quarterly or semiannual cleaning schedules with a flat contract rate and before-and-after photo documentation for every dryer drop. Your maintenance log gets a clean record for insurance and code compliance.
One-Off Commercial Jobs
We also take single commercial jobs: a laundromat, a small gym, a salon with one heavy-use dryer. Written quote before we start, same 365-Day Done Right Promise, same photo proof. East Hemet doesn’t have a lot of commercial cleaning options that actually scope the vent with a camera; we do, every time.
Trusted Brands We Service in East Hemet
We clean and maintain dryer vents connected to every major dryer brand: Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Electrolux, Speed Queen, and Kenmore. We also work on commercial gas dryers and stack units common in East Hemet apartments. For filtration and air quality upgrades on laundry rooms, we carry Honeywell and Aprilaire products so a homeowner can pair a vent cleaning with better indoor air. We keep common vent caps, bird guards, and 4-inch rigid duct sections on our trucks, so most East Hemet repair work is done in one visit. No “we’ll order that part and come back in two weeks.”
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in East Hemet Homes
- Decomposed granite crusted inside the vent run. East Hemet’s soil is crushed granite from the San Jacinto Mountains, and it blows into vent terminations constantly. It mixes with lint to form a hard crust that a shop vac cannot pull loose, which is exactly why we use rotary agitation brushes, not a truck-mounted shop-vac shortcut.
- Long horizontal runs with multiple elbows. Ranch-style homes from the 1960s and 1970s dominate East Hemet, and many have dryer vents running 10 – 20 feet horizontally through attics with three or more 90-degree bends. Lint settles in every low spot and the blower motor strains. We measure airflow before and after so you see the difference in numbers.
- Crushed flexible foil transitions behind the dryer. In East Hemet’s tight laundry closets, the foil duct behind the dryer gets crushed when the machine gets pushed back against the wall. That restriction builds heat fast in a 120°F attic. We replace crushed foil with rigid 4-inch duct and check the entire run with the camera.
- Missing or damaged vent caps. The wind along the San Jacinto foothills tears off flimsy vent caps routinely. Birds move in, nest material blocks the exit, and the dryer heat has nowhere to go. We install proper louvered caps with bird guards so the problem doesn’t repeat next spring.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in East Hemet, CA
One flat price per dryer vent system, not per vent. A standard single-family dryer vent cleaning in East Hemet runs $129 – $219. That covers the full camera inspection, rotary brush cleaning with HEPA vacuum extraction, exterior termination check, and before-and-after photos. Longer runs over 25 feet, multi-elbow rooftop terminations, or heavily crusted vents from decomposed granite run $219 – $349. That price is written and handed to you before work begins. We don’t do per-vent pricing because it creates a reason to inflate the invoice once we’re on site. If your vent needs a new cap, bird guard, or a section of rigid duct replaced, the repair cost is quoted separately and approved by you before we do it. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and a human picks up the phone.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in East Hemet
Every 12 – 18 months for most East Hemet homes, and more often if you live near the foothills where decomposed granite dust blows in constantly or if you run multiple loads daily. Homes with long horizontal vent runs or rooftop terminations should be inspected annually. The honest answer is that your dryer’s dry time is the best signal: two cycles to dry a standard load means the vent is telling you it’s time. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll scope it with a camera before recommending anything.
One flat price per dryer vent system, agreed in writing before we start. No per-vent add-ons. A standard East Hemet single-dryer home runs $129 – $219 for the full cleaning, and if the camera finds a longer or more complicated run, we quote the higher range up front. You’ll never see a price change at the door. Estimate is free, and the number on the written quote is the number on the invoice.
An inspection is a $79 camera scope of the full vent run that tells you exactly what’s inside and whether cleaning is actually needed. A full cleaning is the rotary brush and HEPA vacuum extraction that removes the lint, dust, and crust. If you book the inspection and the camera shows the vent is blocked, we roll the inspection fee into the cleaning price. No double charge. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule either.
Yes, we clean commercial dryer vent systems throughout East Hemet, including apartment complexes off Florida Avenue, mobile home parks, laundromats, and any multi-unit building. Commercial pricing runs $89 – $149 per dryer drop for recurring contracts and $249 – $449 for a first-time deep clean of a neglected system. We work with property managers on scheduling and provide photo documentation for every drop on the contract. Call (737) 727-2314 and ask for Omar on commercial work.
East Hemet sits against the San Jacinto foothills on decomposed granite soil, and that dust gets drawn into the dryer ventilation constantly. Summer attic temperatures routinely exceed 120°F, which bakes the lint-and-dust mix onto the vent run’s interior walls into a hard crust. A standard shop-vac cleaning pulls off the loose surface lint and leaves the crust behind, which is why our equipment uses rotary agitation plus negative-pressure extraction to break that layer free. The result is a vent that actually flows, proven with before-and-after airflow measurements and photos.
