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 Five Corners
Dryer vent cleaning in Five Corners typically runs $149 – $289 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in under 90 minutes. That is the honest range, and it’s what you’ll see on the written estimate before any work starts. At Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, we’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning team that shows up with professional-grade equipment, documented proof of the work, and a flat price per system rather than a per-vent mystery. If you live off NE 119th Street, near NE 72nd Avenue, or anywhere in the unincorporated Clark County stretch we serve, call Omar’s team at (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Five Corners’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Five Corners sits in an unusual spot. It’s unincorporated Clark County, northeast of Vancouver, with larger lots and septic systems rather than municipal sewer lines. That changes how homes are built here, and it changes how dryer vents behave here. Homeowners in Five Corners call us because we know this already, and we plan the job accordingly.
Omar Haddad runs the crew with a rule that sounds simple but is rare in this trade: nothing gets started until the homeowner has a written price in hand. No per-vent pricing games, no add-ons once the van is parked. The price you approve is the price you pay, and that applies to every job on every street from NE 99th Street down to the Orchards area line.
Our techs carry Rotobrush brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums, which matters more than most people realize. A shop-vac bolted to a truck cannot maintain negative pressure on a long horizontal vent run, and that’s exactly what so many Five Corners homes have. We can. And after every single job, you receive before-and-after photographs of your own ducts, not a stock photo or a fuzzy description.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Five Corners
Dryer Vent Inspection in Five Corners is a camera-based look at the full lint pathway from the dryer cabinet to the exterior termination cap, and it costs $89 as a standalone service. For homes with exterior-wall laundry rooms, which are common in this area because of septic lot layouts, the inspection is where the real risk shows up. The lint trap screen catches maybe a quarter of what your dryer produces. The rest travels down the run and stalls on elbows, low points, and horizontal sections.
What the Camera Sees
We run a small camera down the full vent pathway. Homeowners off NE 119th Street often tell us they clean the trap every load, and they mean it. Then the camera shows a lint mat packed into a low horizontal run eight or ten feet from the dryer. That’s the fire risk the trap never catches.
When to Book an Inspection
If your dryer is running hot, clothes are taking two cycles to dry, or the exterior vent cap does not open fully when the dryer runs, book an inspection before you pay for an expensive service call on the appliance. The dryer is usually fine. The vent is not.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Five Corners
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Five Corners covers the coin-op and multi-load setups found in small apartment buildings, the laundromat on the commercial stretch near NE Fourth Plain, and any property running more than one dryer off a shared vent stack. These systems accumulate lint faster than residential runs because the volume of cycles is higher and the vent length is often longer. Pricing starts at $289 for a single commercial dryer and rises based on stack count, vent length, and roof access, with the written price confirmed before any equipment comes off the truck.
Properties We Handle
Four-plex and small apartment buildings in the unincorporated county often route dryer exhaust through interior wall cavities to a roof cap. That’s a long run. We document the full clean with photos so a property owner or manager can prove the work was done, which matters for insurance and tenant safety.
Shared Vent Stacks
When multiple dryers share a stack, one clogged run backs up into all of them. We clean the full stack rather than just the accessible section, using HEPA filtration to keep fine lint particles from circulating back into the laundry room during the job.
Trusted Brands We Service in Five Corners
We work on dryers and vent runs across all major manufacturers including Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, and Speed Queen, and we stock the common vent caps, bird guards, and transition hoses needed to finish a job without a second visit. For filtration-sensitive setups, we carry Aprilaire and Guardsman products. The point is simple: when a Five Corners job needs a part on the spot, we usually have it in the van.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Five Corners Homes
- Exterior-wall laundry rooms with long horizontal runs: Because many Five Corners properties sit on septic lots, laundry rooms are placed on outside walls rather than near a central stack. A 12-to-20-foot horizontal run collects lint exactly where the trap screen cannot help.
- Vents terminating mid-yard or at a wall cap with no visible opening: On larger lots, the termination point is sometimes tucked behind landscaping or a deck. Homeowners don’t see the cap, assume the vent is fine, and the clog builds silently.
- Bird and rodent nests at the termination cap, especially near treed lots off NE 72nd Avenue: A missing or damaged cap is an invitation. We install bird guards and replacement caps as part of the vent cleaning when needed.
- Flammable lint accumulation where the run elbows behind the dryer: The 90-degree elbow directly behind the appliance is the single most common ignition point in residential dryer fires nationwide. It’s also the spot a register-count cleaning never reaches.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Five Corners
For most Five Corners households, once every 12 to 18 months is right. Homes with exterior-wall laundry rooms and long horizontal runs, common here because of septic-lot layouts, should lean toward the 12-month mark. Households with large dogs, frequent laundry loads, or a vent that terminates mid-yard may need service more often. Call (737) 727-2314 if your dryer has not been cleaned in over two years, and we’ll help you schedule.
We give one flat price per dryer system before any work starts. No per-vent charges, no surprise line items once the technician is inside. The price you read on the written estimate is the price you pay, every time. That’s the standard, not an offer.
Yes. Every job includes before-and-after photographs of your actual ducts, taken from your actual home, not a sample photo. If you are paying to remove lint you cannot see, you should be able to see the result. The photos are part of The Relay Standard on every Cardinal job in Five Corners.
It changes the length and shape of the run, and it usually means more horizontal flue, which is exactly where lint stalls. Exterior-wall laundry rooms on septic lots are common in Five Corners, and the clean often takes a little longer as a result. The flat price accounts for that from the start; we do not charge extra for a longer run discovered mid-job.
We schedule every job with a live trackable arrival window, but we do not promise same-day service. Dryer vent cleaning is booked like any careful, documented service. When you call, you’ll get the next available slot and a written price before the crew arrives. Call (737) 727-2314 to get on the schedule.
If your Five Corners dryer has been running hot, taking two cycles per load, or the vent cap hasn’t been checked in years, call Omar and the Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning team at (737) 727-2314. We’ll schedule the inspection, give you a written price, and show you exactly what came out of your vent.
