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.

Hapeville’s homes aren’t like the sprawling new construction you’ll find further south. Most of the housing stock here was built between 1945 and 1965 for the Ford assembly plant workforce, which means long vent runs, tight crawlspaces, and lint traps that haven’t been upgraded in decades. We know where these vents terminate because we’ve been through them. That local familiarity means we get to the actual problem faster, without the guesswork.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Hapeville’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Cardinal is part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every Hapeville booking is held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That’s not a slogan. It means you get a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photo proof of the work, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Our technicians arrive in uniform with their name on the booking, so you know exactly who’s at the door before you open it.
Hapeville homeowners call us because we don’t do bait-and-switch pricing. The written price you approve is the price you pay. It includes the full lint pathway from dryer tail to outside hood, not just what’s reachable from the trap. We also stock common vent components in our Atlanta dispatch fleet, so when we find a crushed flex tail or a missing backdraft damper in a Hapeville bungalow, we’re usually able to complete the repair on the spot rather than scheduling a second visit.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he built the company’s standard around one idea: total visibility from booking to invoice. That’s why every Hapeville job includes photo documentation and a written guarantee on any repair. If something isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no exclusions.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Hapeville
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Hapeville is a full-pathway cleaning, not a shop-vac swipe at the lint trap. We disconnect the dryer, run a camera inspection through the entire vent run to find the actual termination point, then use agitation tools on a Rotobrush line to break up packed lint while a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulls debris out under negative pressure. The debris goes into the vacuum. Not your laundry room. Most single-run Hapeville homes run $140 to $220 depending on run length and access.
Camera Inspection First
In Hapeville’s older homes, the vent run is rarely a straight shot. We run a camera down the full lint pathway before we clean, so we can see the elbows, the low spots, and the actual termination point. That’s the difference between a surface wipe and source removal.
Full-Pathway Lint Removal
We don’t clean just the trap and the outside hood and call it done. We clean the entire run, including the horizontal elbows where lint actually packs in mid-century mill-village housing. If the run is 20 feet with two 90-degree turns, we clean all 20 feet, not the first 6.
Dryer Vent Installation in Hapeville
Dryer Vent Installation in Hapeville is for vent runs that are beyond cleaning, whether the pipe is crushed, corroded, or the wrong material to begin with. Many original Hapeville bungalows still have foil flex connectors that sag and trap lint within the first year. Replacing a short run with smooth semi-rigid duct typically runs $190 to $320 including materials, and a full replacement for a longer crawlspace-terminated run runs $280 to $500. We give you the written price before we cut a single section of pipe.
Rerouting a Bad Run
Some older homes near Central Ave have dryer vents that terminate under the house or inside a soffit, which is both a fire risk and a mold invitation. We can reroute the run to a proper sidewall hood, which usually runs $250 to $450 depending on how much pipe and wall penetration is involved.
Vent Cap and Bird Guard Replacement
Hapeville’s tree canopy means birds nest in exterior hoods more than you’d think. If your flapper is jammed open or a starling has built a nest inside, we replace the cap and install a bird guard. Cap replacement runs $60 to $120, bird guard included on most standard 4-inch hoods.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hapeville
We clean and service dryer vents for every major brand you’ll find in Hapeville homes: Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, and Speed Queen. Our equipment is professional-grade, not truck-mounted shop-vac shortcuts. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment when the job calls for it. We also stock Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration products for customers who want to address the air quality side of the equation. Parts for common vent components are carried in our fleet, so most Hapeville repairs are finished the same day we arrive.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Hapeville Homes
- Packed first elbow on long, low-clearance runs. Mid-century mill-village bungalows were built with long horizontal vent runs that terminate at crawlspaces or sidewall vents. Lint hits the first 90-degree elbow and stops moving. The trap looks clean, but the real blockage is 8 feet down the pipe.
- Crushed foil flex connectors behind the dryer. The original flex tails on 1950s and 1960s homes sag under heat and weight. When the flex crimps, airflow drops immediately, and dry times climb to 45 minutes per load or worse.
- Missing or rusted backdraft dampers. Hapeville’s humidity means exterior hoods corrode. A rusted flapper that won’t close lets humid outside air back into the run, which makes lint sticky and more likely to pack in place.
- Bird nests in exterior hoods. With the tree cover along Sylvan and South Central, we pull starlings and sparrows out of hoods regularly. A blocked hood with a nest means the lint has nowhere to go, and the system backs up all the way to the dryer.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hapeville, GA
Most Hapeville dryer vent cleanings run $140 to $260 for a single-run system. What moves the price is run length, not our mood. A short 6-foot run straight through an exterior wall is on the low end. A 25-foot crawlspace run with two elbows and a buried termination point is on the high end. Vent cap replacement adds $60 to $120. A new semi-rigid flex tail adds $40 to $80. We do not charge per vent or per opening for dryer vent work. A dryer vent is one continuous system with one lint pathway, and that’s how we price it. Every estimate is free, and the price you approve in writing is the price you pay. Call (737) 727-2314 for a quote and you’ll speak with a person, not a call center menu.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hapeville
Every 12 to 18 months for most Hapeville homes, and closer to every 12 months if your vent run is long, has multiple elbows, or terminates at a crawlspace. The older bungalows off Central Ave and Sylvan often have 20-foot runs with two 90-degree bends, and those pack lint faster than a short straight pipe. If your dry times have climbed past 40 minutes per load, it’s time to call us at (737) 727-2314 for a camera inspection and a written quote.
No. We charge one flat price for the entire dryer vent system. A dryer vent is one continuous lint pathway from the dryer tail to the outside hood. Per-vent pricing on a dryer vent job is how homeowners get nickel-and-dimed for a service that should be straightforward. Your written quote covers the full run, every elbow, and the exterior hood. That’s the whole point: the price you approve before we start is the price you pay when we finish.
Because lint is fuel, and a blocked vent turns your dryer into a slow-burning firebox. The National Fire Protection Association consistently identifies dryer vents as a leading cause of residential appliance fires, and Hapeville’s older bungalows with long, crooked vent runs pack lint faster than newer homes with short straight runs. Cleaning the full pathway removes the fuel. That’s not maintenance. That’s protecting your home from a fire that smolders inside a wall or crawlspace where you can’t see it. If your vent hasn’t been inspected in over a year, call (737) 727-2314 and schedule a camera inspection. It’s the cheapest insurance you’ll ever buy.
We don’t promise same-day service, and here’s the honest reason. A proper dryer vent cleaning in a Hapeville bungalow involves a camera inspection, full-pathway agitation, negative-pressure extraction, and often a repair like replacing a crushed flex tail or a rusted hood. That’s not a job we rush to squeeze into a two-hour window. What we do promise is a scheduled arrival time with live tracking through The Relay Visibility Guarantee, so you know exactly when we’ll be there and who’s coming. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the schedule at a time that works, not a vague four-hour window.
We start by finding the actual termination point, not the trap. In a 1950s bungalow off Central Ave, that might mean a sidewall hood behind a screen or a crawlspace exit you haven’t seen since you bought the house. Then we disconnect the dryer, run a camera down the full lint pathway to see exactly where the packing is, and clean the entire run with Rotobrush agitation while a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulls debris out under negative pressure. We replaced a 20-foot rigid pipe on a home near the old Atlanta Assembly site where lint had packed the first elbow into a near-solid plug. The homeowner sent us a photo two loads later: dry time back under 30 minutes. That’s what a real dryer vent cleaning in Hapeville is supposed to do. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through the same process for your home.
