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.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Hudson’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Hudson sits in Pasco County’s coastal high-humidity zone, and that changes how dryer vents behave. Vents here often terminate through exterior walls that stay damp year-round, which means lint clings to the pipe interior and never dries out enough to blow free the way it does in drier inland towns. That’s not a generic cleaning problem. It’s a Hudson problem, and we treat it like one.
Our techs know the neighborhoods here: Gulf Harbors, Hudson Beach, Sea Pines, and the older homes along Clark Street and Hicks Road. We know which houses have long vent runs through the attic, which have ground-level wall terminations, and which have those awkward roof jacks that half the industry pretends don’t exist. When a Hudson customer calls, we route a background-checked, uniformed technician from our local service area to their door. The tech arrives with professional equipment, including Rotobrush rotary agitation tools and Nikro HEPA vacuum systems, so the job is done right the first time.
Every booking runs on The Relay Standard. That means you get a live trackable arrival window, written pricing before any work starts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. And every job is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge.
Our commitment to customer satisfaction drives our success in Dryer Vent Cleaning; we take pride in every job we complete in Hudson.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hudson
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hudson handles multi-load laundry operations at apartment complexes, salons, gyms, pet boarding facilities, and the small motels along US-19. These systems carry far more lint volume than a single-family vent, and the stakes are higher: a clogged commercial vent shuts down operations, risks fire code violations, and burns out dryers that cost thousands to replace.
A commercial dryer vent cleaning in Hudson runs $349 – $899 depending on run length, access difficulty, and how many dryers tie into the line. We provide a written quote before work starts, no line items added at the door.
Exhaust Run Cleaning and Flow Verification
We clean the full exhaust run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination using rotary brushes and negative-pressure extraction. After cleaning, each run gets a manometer airflow test so you have a number, not a guess.
Multi-Dryer Stack and Laundry Room Systems
For Hudson laundry rooms with multiple dryers on a shared trunk line, poor airflow in one machine means poor airflow for all of them. We isolate each connection, clean the shared run, and provide photographic documentation of the interior afterward. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to commercial work just like residential.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Hudson
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Hudson covers the full vent run, not just the first few feet behind the dryer. A standard cleaning includes disconnecting the dryer, brushing the entire run with a Rotobrush agitation system, pulling debris outward with HEPA-filtered negative pressure, cleaning the exterior termination and flap, verifying airflow with a manometer, and providing before-and-after photos of your own pipe interior.
Residential dryer vent cleaning in Hudson runs $149 – $289 for a single-run system. Longer runs, roof terminations, or heavy buildup can push toward the upper end. You’ll get a flat price before we start, and that price doesn’t change.
Camera Inspection Before and After
We don’t ask you to take our word for it. Every vent gets a camera inspection before and after cleaning, so we can show you exactly where the clog was and what it looks like cleared. This is photography of your pipe, not a stock photo.
Exterior Termination and Flap Service
Hudson’s humidity rusts exterior vent flaps and weather heads faster than you’d expect, and a stuck-open flap invites moisture, birds, and rodents into the run. We replace caps and flaps as part of the job when needed, itemized on your written quote up front.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hudson
We service and clean dryer vents connected to all major dryer makes and models, including LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Electrolux, and Speed Queen. We also carry Guardsman vent caps and Guardsman bird guards that fit the common 4-inch terminations found on Hudson homes, which saves a second trip to a supply yard. Since we’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, every job carries the Relay Visibility Guarantee: live arrival tracking, written pricing, photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay right from your phone.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Hudson Homes
- Coastal moisture makes lint stick. Hudson’s year-round humidity keeps the last few feet of exterior vent pipe damp, so lint mats against the pipe wall instead of blowing through. This is the exact section a lazy cleaning skips.
- Short runs inside the wall called “done.” We see a lot of jobs where someone ran a brush from the laundry room, wiped the connection, and never touched the exterior termination. In Hudson, that’s where most of the problem lives.
- Per-vent quotes that balloon on arrival. Some Hudson homeowners get a low per-vent price over the phone, then the tech adds charges for the outside termination or the roof jack once on site. We quote one flat price per system, always.
- Older homes with convoluted runs. Many Hudson homes built in the 1970s and 1980s along Marlowe Boulevard and Cape Cod Drive have vent runs with multiple elbows. Those bends trap lint, and airflow testing reveals how much restriction is actually there.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hudson, FL
Residential Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hudson runs $149 – $289 for a standard single-run vent, one flat price per system. That includes full brush cleaning, HEPA negative-pressure extraction, exterior termination service, airflow verification, and before-and-after photos. Commercial jobs in Hudson run $349 – $899 depending on run length and dryer count. A newer home with a short, straight wall vent and light use lands at the lower end. An older home with a long attic run and a roof jack lands higher. Either way, you get a written quote before anything is touched, and that quote doesn’t shift at the door.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hudson
Most Hudson households need dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 24 months, not every year. A two-person household with a short, straight wall vent can often go two years. A large family, a long duct run with multiple elbows, or a vent that terminates in a damp shaded spot near the coast may need it sooner. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on what the camera shows, not a push to book a clean on a set interval. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free assessment.
No, a full lint trap means the dryer is working and some lint is being caught. But the lint trap captures only a fraction of what your dryer produces. The rest travels into the vent, and in Hudson’s humid air, much of it sticks to the pipe walls rather than blowing outside. A full lint trap and a clogged vent can coexist, which is why we verify airflow with a manometer before declaring anything healthy.
Never. We charge one flat price per system, agreed before work starts. A per-vent price in Hudson is a red flag because homes here have widely different vent layouts: some have one short wall run, some have long attic runs with a roof jack, and some have ground-level terminations. A per-vent quote invites line items you didn’t agree to. Our written quote covers the full run, top to bottom.
You’ll see before-and-after photos of your own pipe interior, taken with a camera inspection before and after cleaning. You’ll also see the manometer airflow reading, which gives you a number to verify the line is moving air properly. If a company can’t show you either, that’s a reason to be skeptical. Every Cardinal job includes photo documentation and an airflow measurement as standard.
We schedule Hudson appointments on the next available slot, which is often within a few days depending on the season. We don’t promise same-day service because dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled job, not an emergency call, but we do answer calls live 24/7 and can often fit Hudson customers in sooner than expected. Call (737) 727-2314, and we’ll give you an honest window.
