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 Granville
Dryer vent cleaning in Granville, OH typically costs $165 – $285 for a standard single-dryer home, and the job usually takes 60 – 90 minutes from setup to final photo documentation. That price covers camera inspection of the full lint pathway, source removal with professional-grade equipment, and before-and-after photos of your own vent run. Granville’s split between older in-town homes near Denison University and newer township builds means dryer vent conditions vary wildly from house to house, so we price one flat rate per system before any work starts. You’ll never get a per-vent quote from us, and the written price you approve won’t change when the tech arrives. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule, and a live person answers around the clock.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Granville’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Homeowners in Granville call us because we show the work, not just talk about it. Every job ends with before-and-after photos of your actual vent interior, so you see exactly what was removed. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies to every booking without exception. Our techs arrive in uniform with their names on file, you get a live trackable arrival window on your phone, and the invoice is digital and payable by link before they even pack up the van.
Omar Haddad leads our crews, and he’s built the team around a simple principle: no homeowner should ever wonder what happened behind the dryer. We run Rotobrush whip systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums on Granville jobs, not truck-mounted shop-vac shortcuts. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every cleaning, every repair, and every installation. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it’s not a limited-time offer. It’s just how we operate here in Granville.
Dryer Vent Installation in Granville
Dryer Vent Installation in Granville is a job we take on regularly, especially for homeowners in older in-town properties where the existing run was never properly sized or routed. Many pre-war homes near the Denison campus have dryer vents that snake through masonry walls with too many elbows, which is a fire risk and a constant clog source. When we install a new vent in Granville, we first camera-inspect the existing pathway to understand what’s already in the wall. Then we route the new run with the fewest possible bends, use rigid or semi-rigid metal duct (never foil flex), and terminate it with a proper exterior hood that keeps birds and weather out while letting air flow freely.
New Run Routing and Masonry Penetration
For Granville homes with stone or brick foundations, we cut clean masonry penetrations and seal them properly so you don’t get moisture intrusion. The goal is a run that’s as short and straight as the house allows, with accessible cleanouts where needed. A properly installed dryer vent in Granville should move air freely at the exterior hood, and we test that before we leave.
Vent Cap and Hood Replacement
Old vent caps with missing louvers or broken flappers do more than look bad. They let lint backdraft, invite birds and rodents in, and restrict airflow. We stock replacement caps and hoods for Granville homes, including pest-resistant options with fine mesh backing. Installation is included in the flat price we quote before work begins.
Dryer Vent Repair in Granville
Dryer Vent Repair in Granville often means fixing what previous contractors left behind. We see crushed runs behind walls, disconnected joints where lint has been filling wall cavities for years, and exterior hoods that are painted shut or completely missing their dampers. Omar Haddad’s technicians start every repair in Granville with a camera inspection so we know exactly what’s wrong before cutting into anything. The written quote you approve covers the full repair, and any repair we make is backed by a written guarantee plus a free second visit if the fix fails.
Disconnected and Separated Runs
When dryer vent sections separate inside a wall or ceiling cavity, lint doesn’t just stay in the pipe. It accumulates around the break, which is a fire hazard and a hidden source of moisture and mold. We re-connect runs with proper mechanical fasteners, seal joints with metal tape (never duct tape), and photograph the repaired section so you can see the fix.
Bird Guard and Lint Screen Installations
Granville’s tree canopy and older housing stock mean bird nests in dryer vents are a regular call for us. We remove nests, clean the run, and install bird guards with the right mesh size to keep pests out without creating a new lint trap. If your exterior hood is damaged or outdated, we’ll replace it in the same visit.
Trusted Brands We Service in Granville
Our Granville crews work on dryer vents connected to every major laundry brand, including Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Speed Queen, and Electrolux. We don’t just clean; we understand how each manufacturer’s dryer interacts with its vent run, which matters when diagnosing airflow problems that look like appliance failures but are actually vent failures. We carry common replacement parts and vent caps on the truck for Granville jobs, so most repairs are completed in a single visit. Our equipment fleet includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units when a Granville home needs it.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Granville Homes
- Long, multi-elbow runs in pre-war in-town homes. Houses near the Denison campus and along Broadway often have dryer vents that travel 20 – 30 feet with three or four elbows before terminating through stone or brick. These runs look fine from the laundry room but pack solid with lint near the exterior hood, which is why we camera-inspect every Granville job before cleaning.
- Masonry terminations with deteriorating caps or missing dampers. Older Granville homes with stone foundations frequently have vent exits that haven’t been touched since the house was built. Broken dampers let cold air, birds, and insects into the run, and painted-shut caps trap lint behind them.
- Foil flex duct that’s crushed or kinked. We find this constantly in Granville’s newer township builds where builders cut corners on the final dryer connection. Foil flex traps lint at every ridge and crushes easily, which is why we replace it with rigid or semi-rigid metal whenever we repair or install.
- Signs of moisture and mold at the exterior termination. When a dryer vent in Granville doesn’t move air properly, condensation builds inside the run, especially in the humid Ohio summers. You’ll see staining or mildew near the exterior hood. The fix starts with cleaning and often requires a hood replacement.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Granville, OH
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Granville runs $165 – $285 for a single-dryer home with an accessible exterior termination. That’s one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we touch anything. It includes camera inspection, source removal with Rotobrush agitation and Nikro HEPA negative-pressure extraction, and before-and-after photos of your vent run. If your Granville home has a long multi-elbow run through masonry, the price may land at the upper end of that range because the job takes longer. Bird guard installation, vent cap replacement, or a full reroute adds to the quote, but you’ll see that number in writing before work starts. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Granville
Most Granville homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12 – 24 months, but that honest answer depends on your run length and household laundry volume. In-town homes near Denison with 20 – 30 foot multi-elbow runs through stone foundations should lean toward every 12 months. Newer township builds with short, straight runs can often go 24 months. The real answer comes from the camera inspection, which shows whether lint is actually building up or not. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you straight what your vent needs.
We charge one flat price per dryer vent system, never per vent. Your quote covers the entire lint pathway from the dryer connection to the exterior hood, including camera inspection and before-and-after photos. The written price you approve before work starts is the price you pay. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate on your Granville home.
The answer usually comes down to run geometry. In-town Granville homes with long runs and multiple elbows through masonry walls clog far faster than the short, straight runs in newer township builds. Run length, number of bends, the type of duct material, and how often you run the dryer all contribute. A camera inspection will show exactly what’s happening in your specific vent.
We start with a camera inspection of the full lint pathway so we know what we’re dealing with before cleaning begins. Then we run a Rotobrush agitation tool through the vent to break lint loose, while a Nikro HEPA vacuum creates negative pressure so the loosened debris goes straight into containment rather than back into your laundry room. Finally we photograph the interior before and after, and you see the proof. No mystery, no shortcuts.
Yes. We handle full dryer vent installation and repair in Granville, including reroutes through masonry walls, vent cap and hood replacement, bird guard installation, and fixing disconnected or crushed runs. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if the fix fails, the second visit is free. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule or get a quote.
Start With a Camera Inspection, Not a Guess
If you live in Granville and haven’t had your dryer vent looked at recently, don’t assume it’s fine because the dryer still works. The lint packed inside your vent is hiding behind walls and inside masonry, and the only way to know the truth is to look. We start every job with a camera inspection, clean with professional-grade equipment, and hand you photo proof of your own vent before we leave. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate from Omar Haddad and the Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning team serving Granville.
