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 Farragut
Dryer vent cleaning in Farragut typically costs $135 – $225 for a single vent on most homes, and most jobs are finished in under two hours. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a load or the laundry room feels humid when the machine runs, the vent is usually the culprit. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family that’s been doing this since 2005, and we know Farragut homes better than most. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, any hour.
Farragut homes have a specific problem we’ll get into below, but it starts with this: the vent you see behind the dryer is only a few feet of the story. The rest runs through walls, crawl spaces, and sometimes the roof. We inspect the whole thing, clean it with professional equipment, and hand you a written price before we touch a single screw.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Farragut’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We built our reputation in Farragut one vent at a time. The neighborhoods here – Fox Run, Village Green, Concord Hills – are full of homes we know well, including their laundry layouts and the trouble spots that come with them. That local knowledge means we walk in understanding what we’re likely to find before the camera goes down the vent.
Every Farragut booking runs through the same standard. You get a written price before work starts, and that price does not change at the door. The tech who shows up is background-checked, in uniform, and you’ll know their name before they arrive. We bring Rotobrush rotary agitation tools and Nikro HEPA vacuums on every job, and we document everything with before-and-after photos of your actual vent, not a stock image.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team works under The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That’s a live trackable arrival window, photo proof of the completed work, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. We also back every job with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the vent isn’t right within a year, we return and make it right at no charge. Omar Haddad leads our team, and he holds every tech to that standard.
Farragut residents call us because we answer the phone and we show up when we say we will. No four-hour windows. No voicemail loops.
Dryer Vent Repair in Farragut
Dryer Vent Repair in Farragut usually means replacing a crushed, sagging, or improperly routed section of duct that no amount of cleaning will fix. In Farragut homes, we regularly find accordion-style foil or vinyl duct from the original build that has sagged in a low spot behind a finished basement wall or above a drop ceiling, trapping lint no matter how recently the vent was cleaned.
Repair work in Farragut typically runs $180 – $310 depending on the length of duct being replaced and whether we need to open drywall to reach it. We’ll show you the camera footage so you can see exactly what we’re seeing, then quote the repair as a flat price before any cutting starts.
Repair And Rerouting Work
We carry rigid galvanized pipe and Guardsman vent kits on the truck, so most repairs in Farragut are completed the same visit. When we replace a crushed foil run, we do it right: rigid pipe, sealed joints, and a clear camera pass before we pack up.
Vent Terminations And Cap Problems
Roof terminations are common on Farragut’s two-story homes, and a damaged roof cap lets rain, birds, and cold air into the vent line. We replace clogged or missing caps and can add a bird guard so nesting doesn’t become an annual problem.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Farragut
As a Dryer Vent Cleaning Company serving Farragut, we do the work most homeowners expect but rarely get: full-run cleaning with a camera verification, not just a quick vacuum at the wall. In Farragut homes with long interior runs, that difference matters. A surface-only cleaning leaves lint packed in the low spots and bends, and the dryer keeps overheating.
Cleaning a single dryer vent in Farragut runs $135 – $225. If you have a second vent or the run is exceptionally long – and many in Farragut are – we’ll quote the whole job as one flat price before we start. You’ll never see a per-vent upcharge at the door.
Lint Removal And Camera Inspection
We push a camera down the entire vent before and after cleaning. That’s how we know the run is clear and how we find blockages a brush alone won’t dislodge. You see the photos when we’re done. Your vent, your walls, your proof.
Vent Cap Replacement Services
An old louvered cap or a capped-off bird screen can restrict airflow more than lint does. We replace worn caps and screens as part of our standard cleaning, and we’ll point out any cap design that’s choking your dryer’s exhaust.
Trusted Brands We Service in Farragut
We work on every major dryer vent setup in Farragut, from standard 4-inch rigid runs to long interior vents that need real attention. Our trucks carry Nikro HEPA vacuum systems for negative-pressure extraction – that means loosened lint goes into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room – plus Abatement Technologies containment equipment for jobs where we need to open a wall or ceiling. We also stock Honeywell and Guardsman filtration and vent replacement parts so most repair work in Farragut doesn’t require a second visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Farragut Homes
- Long interior vent runs. Farragut’s floor plans often put the laundry room in the middle of the house, which means the vent travels 20 feet or more through finished basements or crawl spaces before it exits. More run, more lint, more clogging.
- Roof-terminated vents. Two-story Farragut builds frequently run the dryer vent to the roof, where homeowners never see it. These clog from the top down and can go years without inspection.
- Original foil or vinyl duct. Builders used cheap flexible duct in many Farragut homes, and it sags over time, trapping lint in low spots that a surface-only cleaning can’t reach. This is the most common reason a “cleaned” vent still overheats.
- Vent placement near HVAC intakes. Some Farragut homes have the dryer vent terminating within a few feet of a heat pump or return air intake, pulling lint and moisture into the HVAC system. That layout needs rerouting, not just repeated cleaning.
One field vignette from Concord Hills: a homeowner’s dryer kept tripping its thermal cutoff after a single cycle. Our tech pulled the Guardsman vent kit, ran a camera inspection down the lint pathway, and found a compressed accordion section crushed behind the finished basement wall blocking roughly 60 percent of the airflow. We replaced that section with rigid pipe, cleared the remaining run with agitation tools under negative pressure, and the dryer ran a full heavy-load cycle without overheating. That’s the kind of problem you can’t see from the laundry room – and the reason we always camera-inspect first.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Farragut, TN
Here’s what you can expect to pay in Farragut. A standard single-vent cleaning runs $135 – $225 for most homes. Dryer vent repair that involves replacing a section of duct typically runs $180 – $310. Adding a bird guard or replacing a damaged vent cap adds $45 – $95. If your vent is roof-terminated or extends past 20 feet, we may quote slightly more, and we’ll explain exactly why before any work begins.
What affects cost in Farragut is mostly run length and access. A long interior run through a finished basement takes longer to inspect and clean than a short direct wall exit. We price the system, not the number of vents, so you get one flat number before we start. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through what your home needs.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Farragut
For most Farragut homes, once a year is right, especially if your laundry room sits in the center of the house and the vent runs 20 feet or more. Homes with short direct wall exits can sometimes go 18 to 24 months. If your dryer takes longer than 45 minutes to dry a normal load, you’re overdue regardless of the calendar. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll inspect it honestly.
Yes, often more than you’d think. The lint trap catches only about 60 to 70 percent of what your dryer produces. The rest moves into the vent, and in Farragut homes with long interior runs, it accumulates in bends and low spots where you can’t see it. An empty lint trap tells you the trap works; it says nothing about the 20 feet of duct behind the wall. We camera-inspect every vent so you know what’s actually in there.
We start with a camera inspection to see the full run, including any crushed sections or blockages. Then we run a rotary agitation brush through the vent under negative pressure – that’s a HEPA vacuum pulling air backward so loosened lint goes into the collection canister, not into your laundry room. After cleaning, we run the camera again and show you the before-and-after photos. The whole job is usually done in under two hours.
In most cases, yes. We stock rigid pipe and Guardsman vent replacement parts on the truck, and we can replace a crushed foil or sagging vinyl section the same visit. If the damaged section is behind a finished wall, we’ll show you the camera footage, give you a flat repair price, and schedule the fix. We don’t leave a vent half-fixed.
We don’t promise same-day service because every job includes a camera inspection and full-run cleaning, and we schedule enough time to do it right. What we can tell you is that a live person answers the phone 24/7, and we’ll give you a straight answer about the soonest real opening for your Farragut home. Call (737) 727-2314 to check today’s schedule.
