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 Jacksonville
Dryer vent cleaning in Jacksonville costs $89 – $179 for a standard single-family home with a short, accessible vent run. Longer runs that snake through attics or crawlspaces, common in older Jacksonville neighborhoods like Riverside and Avondale, typically run $150 – $279. We’ll give you one flat price per system in writing before any work starts, never a per-vent figure that grows once the technician is on site. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Jacksonville’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Jacksonville homeowners call us because we do one thing well: we clean the entire lint pathway, not just the first few feet behind the dryer. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team works with Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA vacuums, running negative-pressure extraction so loosened lint goes straight into the vacuum rather than back into your laundry room. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform with the equipment for the specific vent run on your home, whether it’s a short straight shot in a Riverside bungalow or a 30-foot attic run in Mandarin.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every booking includes The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photos of your duct interior, and a digital invoice payable from your phone. Omar Haddad leads the Jacksonville team, and he holds every job to the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the vent isn’t cleaned correctly within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s not a sales pitch. It’s the promise on every booking, no exceptions.
Dryer Vent Installation in Jacksonville
Dryer Vent Installation in Jacksonville covers replacing old, crushed, or improperly routed vent runs throughout the city. We install rigid metal duct where building codes allow, route vents to the shortest practical exterior exit, and seal every joint with foil tape, never duct tape. Jacksonville’s mix of 1940s wood-frame homes in Avondale and newer tightly sealed construction in Bartram Park means every install starts with an assessment of your home’s framing, attic access, and exterior wall material.
A standard installation with a short straight run and one exterior cap runs $150 – $275. Longer reroutes through attics or crawlspaces, which we often handle in Arlington and over near Orange Park, run $250 – $450 depending on the number of elbows and the total duct length. We give you the exact price before any materials are cut.
Vent Rerouting and Code Compliance
Many Jacksonville homes have dryer vents that terminate in the attic, in a crawlspace, or against a soffit vent. That’s a fire risk and a code violation. We reroute those runs to an exterior wall or roof cap, following Florida Building Code for termination distances and materials.
Bird Guard and Exterior Cap Installation
Jacksonville’s bird population, especially around the St. Johns River and marsh areas, loves a warm dryer exhaust. We install galvanized steel bird guards and louvered caps that keep nests out without restricting airflow. A cap replacement runs $45 – $90 for the part, plus the service call.
Dryer Vent Repair in Jacksonville
Dryer Vent Repair in Jacksonville means we fix what’s broken: crushed flexible duct behind the dryer, disconnected joints in attics, rusted exterior hoods, and clogs that resist ordinary brushing. We see plenty of crushed foil duct in older Jacksonville homes where the dryer was pushed too far back against the wall, kinking the run flat. That one issue is responsible for a large share of the long dry times homeowners report in Riverside, San Marco, and Murray Hill.
Repairs run $89 – $189 for a standard fix like replacing a crushed section or reattaching a joint. Full vent replacement with new rigid duct runs $175 – $325. The price is written down and handed to you before the first tool comes off the truck.
Camera Inspection Before Repair
For any repair involving a long or hidden vent run, we use a camera to look at the duct interior first. That’s the only reliable way to confirm whether the problem is a clog, a separation, or a crushed section in a wall cavity or attic. You see the footage, so you’re never paying for a repair you can’t verify.
Trusted Brands We Service in Jacksonville
Jacksonville homes use a mix of dryer vent brands, and we stock local parts for fast turnaround. We service and replace Guardsman hoods and caps, Abatement Technologies containment units for indoor remodels and inspections, and Aprilaire filtration products where dryer exhaust ties into broader home air systems. If your current vent components are this brand or something else entirely, we’ll match what’s already in your wall rather than forcing a mismatched cap or duct. We keep common Guardsman hoods and louvered caps on hand at the Jacksonville office, so a standard repair doesn’t wait on a part shipment.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Jacksonville Homes
- Long attic and crawlspace runs in older homes. Many homes in Arlington, Riverside, and the Beaches were built when dryer vent routing wasn’t a priority. Runs of 25 to 40 feet with multiple elbows are common, and they collect lint fast.
- Crushed flexible duct behind newer dryers. Newer dryers are deeper, and when they’re pushed against the wall, the foil duct folds flat. We see this weekly across Mandarin and Southside.
- High humidity accelerating lint adherence. Jacksonville’s summer humidity, regularly 80 – 95%, makes lint stick to the duct walls rather than blow through. A vent that’s fine in a dry climate clogs here in half the time.
- Bird and rodent nests in exterior caps. Starlings and sparrows build in warm, unprotected exhausts, particularly near the St. Johns River and marsh communities. We remove nests and install guards that keep them out.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Jacksonville
Every 12 to 18 months for most Jacksonville homes, though homes with long attic runs or high humidity exposure may need it annually. If your dryer takes more than one cycle to fully dry a load, or the exterior flap doesn’t open when the dryer runs, schedule a cleaning sooner. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you an honest assessment for your vent length and home style.
Flat price, always. One written price per system before work starts. We do not do per-vent pricing, and we won’t arrive with a low teaser figure that becomes a larger invoice once the technician is inside. The price you approve is the price you pay.
We run a camera through the vent first to see the full pathway. Then we use a Rotobrush rotary brush with Nikro HEPA vacuum extraction under negative pressure, meaning loosened lint goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room. After the cleaning, we run the camera again and show you before-and-after photos of your actual duct interior. Exterior cap and hood cleaning is included.
Yes. We repair crushed sections, reroute vents that terminate in attics or crawlspaces, and install complete new runs using rigid metal duct where code allows. Every repair includes a written guarantee and a free second visit if the repair fails within the 365-Day Done Right Promise period. Call (737) 727-2314 to describe your vent and get an exact price.
Jacksonville’s humidity and housing stock combine to make lint buildup faster and more dangerous than in drier markets. Wood-frame homes with crawlspaces, which you’ll find across Riverside and Avondale, often have vents installed decades ago that were never properly routed. Combined with coastal humidity, that means more frequent clogs. Cleaning is the straightforward fix.
