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.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Irving
A clogged dryer vent in an Irving home is a real fire hazard, not a minor annoyance. Lint builds up inside the vent run, the dryer runs hotter and longer, and the risk climbs with every load. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team removes the lint plug, clears the full run to the exterior termination, and shows you before-and-after photos of your own vent so you know the job was actually done. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate and a written price before we touch anything.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Irving’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Homeowners across Irving call us because we say exactly what a job costs before the van rolls. No per-vent pricing games, no “discovered” upcharges once the technician is inside. You get one flat price per system, written down, agreed to before work starts. That’s the deal we’ve held to since the Relay Home Co. family launched this brand, and it’s why most of our Irving bookings come from referrals, not ads.
We answer the phone with a live person, 24/7. No voicemail loops. When you book with us, you get The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, a uniformed background-checked technician whose name you know before they knock, before-and-after photo proof, and a digital invoice payable from your phone. That’s how a modern Irving homeowner should be able to book, track, and pay for a dryer vent cleaning.
Omar Haddad leads our Irving crews and he’s built the team around one rule: if the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and make it right. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every single booking without exception. Not select jobs. All of them.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irving
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irving means handling the high-lint-load vent systems that run through restaurants, salons, apartment complexes, laundromats, and any facility with multiple dryers cycling daily. These systems clog faster than residential vents because the volume of dryer loads is relentless, and a lint fire inside a commercial vent run can spread through roof spaces and wall cavities faster than anyone expects. We clean the full run from dryer connection to exterior termination, clear the exhaust damper, and document the finished work with photos.
Multi-Family and Apartment Laundry Rooms
Irving apartment properties in the Las Colinas and Valley Ranch corridors run communal laundry rooms where a single vent often serves multiple dryers. Lint accumulates rapidly in these shared runs, and the property manager rarely knows there’s a problem until a dryer alarm trips or a tenant reports clothing taking two hours to dry. A commercial cleaning for a multi-dryer shared run in Irving typically runs $189 – $349 depending on run length and access.
Restaurant and On-Premise Laundry Operations
Restaurants and hotels in Irving that process linens, towels, and uniforms on-site need a vent cleaned on a schedule, not as an emergency. Lint combined with kitchen grease aerosol creates a dense, sticky accumulation that brushes through a standard vent cleaning in under an hour. We typically charge $249 – $399 for commercial single-run cleanings in Irving, with multi-run facility pricing quoted per run after an on-site assessment. Written price before we start, always.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Irving
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Irving means clearing the entire duct run from the back of your dryer to the exterior vent cap, not just the accessible few feet behind the machine. We run a camera inspection first to see what we’re dealing with, then use professional-grade agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction to pull the loosened lint out. That means the debris goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum, not back into your laundry room.
Full-Run Cleaning With Camera Verification
Most Irving homes we clean have vent runs between 8 and 30 feet, depending on where the laundry room sits in the floor plan. Older ranch homes near the historic downtown core sometimes route vents through the roof, which turns a simple job into one that requires roof access and patience. We clean the entire run and show you camera footage of the clear duct before we pack up. A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Irving runs $139 – $249.
Lint Removal From Wall Cavities and Roof Terminations
When a vent terminates through the roof, like many 1950s and 1960s Irving ranches, the lint plug is often invisible from the ground and the homeowner has no idea how bad it’s gotten. Our techs use Abatement Technologies containment and Nikro HEPA extraction to catch every bit of loosened lint, even when the vent exits through an inconvenient roofline. For longer or harder-to-access runs, expect $189 – $299.
Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
We service every major dryer brand Irving homeowners have in their laundry rooms: LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Electrolux, Speed Queen, and Kenmore. Our techs stock common vent caps, dampers, and bird guards that fit most Irving homes, so we can often complete a cap replacement or bird guard install in the same visit as the cleaning. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems far less often on dryer vents than on air ducts, but when a vent run has compacted lint that won’t yield to standard agitation, that’s the tool we reach for. For HEPA extraction we use Nikro equipment because a shop-vac simply does not catch lint particles that small.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Roof-terminated vents in older ranch homes. Many homes built in the 1950s and 1960s across Irving’s original neighborhoods route dryer exhaust through the roof, so the lint plug is invisible from outside. Homeowners only notice when the dryer starts taking two or three cycles per load.
- Crushed foil transition ducts in tight laundry closets. Irving tract homes from the 1980s and 1990s often have laundry rooms so compact that the flexible foil duct gets crushed behind the dryer. That kink traps lint, raises dryer temperatures, and turns a small issue into a full clog.
- Stuck exterior dampers that trap moisture and lint. The Las Colinas area sees strong wind off the lake and the Trinity floodplain, and that wind can jam a plastic vent flap shut. When the damper can’t open, lint backs up inside the run instead of exhausting outside.
- Years of skipped cleanings in homes with long vent runs. A short, straight vent in a newer Valley Ranch home can genuinely go several years between cleanings. But a long run through a wall cavity or roof needs attention more often, and too many Irving homeowners never get a straight answer on which category they’re in.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irving, TX
What affects the price: the length of the vent run, the termination point (wall, roof, or through a soffit), the accessibility of the termination, and whether a bird guard or cap replacement is needed. We give you that number in writing before we start. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a free estimate based on your home’s actual vent configuration.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irving
Every 12 to 24 months for most Irving homes, but it depends on the vent run. A short, straight vent in a newer home can go two to three years between cleanings. A long roof-terminated run in a 1950s or 1960s ranch near the downtown core should be cleaned annually because those runs accumulate lint faster and dryers overheat more easily. If your dryer now takes two cycles to dry a normal load, the answer is now. Call (737) 727-2314 for an honest assessment.
Per-vent pricing assumes every vent run is similar, and in Irving that’s false. A vent that exits through an exterior wall takes 30 minutes. A vent that runs 25 feet through a wall cavity and out the roof takes two hours and requires roof access. A contractor quoting a low per-vent price over the phone will always “discover” complications once they’re inside. We give you one flat price per system, written, before work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
No, and we’re honest about why: real dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled job, not an emergency. We book a specific arrival window through The Relay Standard so you know exactly when we’ll be there, and we bring the right equipment based on your vent’s configuration. If you’re in a genuine emergency, call us at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you the soonest honest window, not a same-day promise we can’t keep.
We start with a camera inspection down the vent run to see the lint condition and identify the termination point. Then we connect a negative-pressure extraction system to the run, use agitation tools to break up the compacted lint, and pull the debris into a HEPA-filtered NIkro vacuum instead of blowing it into your laundry room. After cleaning, we verify with the camera, clear the exterior damper, and hand you before-and-after photos of your own vent. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule.
If your dryers run longer than they did six months ago, your lint traps fill faster than usual, or tenants and staff complain about heat in the laundry room, the vent is due for cleaning. Commercial vents in Irving apartment buildings and restaurants should be inspected every six months because the lint volume is far higher than in residential use. We’ll inspect your vent run with a camera and show you exactly what’s inside before quoting. Call (737) 727-2314 to book a commercial assessment.
