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 Fountainebleau
Dryer vent cleaning in Fountainebleau typically costs $149 – $289 for a standard single-family home, and the work usually takes 60 – 90 minutes from setup to final photo documentation. That’s the honest range we quote before we arrive, because by the time we ring the bell on Fontainebleau Boulevard, you already know your price. Fountainebleau’s mid-century concrete-block homes hide a particular problem: long horizontal vent runs that trap lint where you can’t see it. We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning team Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning sends into this neighborhood, and we bring camera inspection, professional agitation tools, and a written price before a single vent is touched. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll get a live person who can schedule you.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Fountainebleau’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Fountainebleau homeowners keep our number because we show up dressed like we belong on the property, tell you our tech’s name before they arrive, and never turn a $149 vent cleaning into a $600 invoice at the door. Omar Haddad runs our crew with a single rule: the price written on your quote is the price you pay. That rule holds on Fontainebleau Boulevard, along NW 7th Street, and through every garden apartment complex off NW 107th Avenue.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and we’re held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee on every job. That means you get a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo proof of your own ducts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No four-hour windows. No “the tech will call when he’s close.” You watch us coming, you see what we pulled out, and you pay from the same screen.
Every technician is background-checked and in uniform. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, which means if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the longest-standing satisfaction window in the trade, and it applies to dryer vent cleaning in Fountainebleau without exception. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail tree, any hour of the day.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Fountainebleau
Dryer Vent Inspection in Fountainebleau is a camera-based look at the full length of your vent run, and in this neighborhood it’s the single most useful service we offer. Most Fountainebleau homes built between the 1950s and 1970s route dryer exhaust through concrete-block walls along long horizontal paths. Lint doesn’t fall back to the trap in those runs; it packs into the pipe past the first elbow. A visual inspection of the trap tells you almost nothing. A camera inspection shows exactly how much is built up and where.
We charge $89 for a standalone dryer vent inspection in Fountainebleau. If you book a cleaning, the inspection is included as part of the job. Either way, you see the footage.
Camera Run and Measurement
Our tech runs a small camera down the vent from the dryer connection to the exterior cap. You’ll see the actual diameter of your run, the material, and any sagging or separation. If your run is 20 feet or longer, which is common in Fountainebleau’s single-story layouts, we’ll tell you whether that length is even serviceable or if a reroute makes more sense.
Exterior Cap Check
We finish by checking the exhaust point outside your home. Fountainebleau’s humid, salty air accelerates rust on metal caps, and a corroded cap with a stuck flap is a common source of poor airflow even when the run itself is clean. We’ll note the cap’s condition and give you a replacement price if it’s failing.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fountainebleau
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fountainebleau handles the coin-op laundry rooms, apartment complex common areas, and small commercial facilities along Fontainebleau Boulevard and the surrounding blocks. These systems run harder than residential units. A 12-unit garden apartment’s common laundry room might cycle eight dryers daily through a shared duct, and that lint accumulates fast. Property managers in Fountainebleau call us because a blocked commercial vent isn’t just a fire risk, it’s a liability and a tenant complaint generator.
Commercial jobs in Fountainebleau typically run $299 – $699 depending on the run length, the number of dryers connected, and roof or wall access. We quote a flat price for the system, not per vent, and that written price is in your hand before equipment comes off the truck.
Multi-Unit Laundry Rooms
We schedule around tenant laundry hours to minimize disruption, typically working mid-morning on weekdays. The process uses negative-pressure extraction so loosened lint goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum, not back into the laundry room air.
Restaurant and Fitness Facility Lint Loads
Towels and linens produce dramatically more lint than residential loads. A fitness center or restaurant in the Fountainebleau area running three to five loads daily through a single dryer can fill a vent in six months. We recommend these facilities book a semi-annual cleaning, and we’ll document every job with before-and-after photos you can file.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fountainebleau
We maintain, clean, and repair dryer vents on every major brand you’ll find in Fountainebleau homes: Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, GE, Kenmore, and Speed Queen. Our techs know the specific lint-sensor and airflow quirks of each manufacturer, and we keep common replacement parts stocked locally so a bad cap or a crushed transition hose doesn’t mean a second appointment. For the actual cleaning, we run professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro; no truck-mounted shop-vac shortcuts. When filtration or air quality is part of the conversation, we install Aprilaire products. This is equipment built for the job you’re paying for.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Fountainebleau Homes
- Long horizontal runs through concrete block. Most Fountainebleau homes push dryer exhaust sideways through the wall rather than up through the roof. Lint packs into the pipe because gravity isn’t pulling it toward the trap. A visible trap can look clean while the run behind the wall is 80% blocked.
- Crushed or sagging flexible transition hose. The silver foil hose behind the dryer gets pushed against the wall, kinks, and becomes a lint trap itself. We see this on nearly every first visit in Fountainebleau, especially in tighter laundry closets common to garden apartments.
- Rusted exterior caps from salt air. Fountainebleau sits close enough to the Atlantic that exterior metal takes a beating. A rusted cap with a stuck flap chokes airflow even after a cleaning, so we check and often replace the cap on the same visit.
- Bird and rodent nesting at the exhaust point. The warm, sheltered exterior vent is a nesting spot. We clean out nests, sanitize the area, and can install a bird guard cap that keeps it from happening again without restricting airflow.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fountainebleau, FL
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Fountainebleau runs $149 – $289. The range is driven by run length, access difficulty, and whether the system is a single run or a shared duct. A garden apartment unit with a 10-foot run sits at the low end; a single-family home with a 25-foot run through block wall and a roof cap sits at the high end. You’ll know your exact number before we start. That’s the whole point.
We price by the system, not by the vent. There is no per-register count, no mystery add-ons, no “while we’re here” upsell. The written price we hand you before work starts is the price on your invoice. If the work isn’t done right within 365 days, we come back and make it right at no charge.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fountainebleau
Most Fountainebleau homes need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 – 18 months. Households that run the dryer daily, dry heavy towels or bedding, have pets, or live in one of the area’s long-run concrete block homes lean closer to the 12-month mark. If your clothes consistently need two cycles to dry, book an inspection now; that’s the clearest signal the run is loading up. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
Because in Fountainebleau’s long horizontal vent runs, the lint you can reach at the trap is a small fraction of what’s packed past the first elbow. Concrete block construction forces runs sideways, and lint doesn’t fall back toward you; it stays in the pipe and builds. The only way to know what’s actually in there is a camera inspection, which we include with every cleaning.
One flat price for the system, agreed in writing before we start. We never count vents or registers to build your bill, and we never add a charge once we’re on site. The price we quote on the phone or in your written estimate is the price you pay, on every dryer vent cleaning in Fountainebleau. Call (737) 727-2314 for a quote that won’t move.
We start with a camera inspection to see the run’s condition, then clean using rotary agitation tools under negative pressure; that means loosened lint is pulled straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum rather than pushed back into your laundry room. We finish by checking airflow at the exterior cap and replacing the cap if it’s rusted or stuck. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts before we leave.
Yes. Every dryer vent cleaning in Fountainebleau includes before-and-after photo documentation of your actual run, not a stock photo. Under The Relay Standard, the photos are part of your digital invoice, so you can see exactly what we pulled out and what the run looks like after. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and correct it at no charge.
