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 Kendale Lakes
Dryer vent cleaning in Kendale Lakes costs between $145 and $275 for a standard single-family home when you work with a company that prices by the system, not by the vent. We serve the whole Kendale Lakes area, from the homes along Kendale Lakes Boulevard to the quieter streets near Miccosukee Golf & Country Club. Omar Haddad leads our local crews, and you’ll reach a live person at (737) 727-2314 every time you call. If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load or the utility room feels damp when the machine runs, the vent is almost certainly the problem.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We understand the homes here because we work on them every week. Kendale Lakes was built as a 1970s master-planned community, which means most houses are CBS block construction with original single-story utility rooms. That design creates a specific problem: dryer vents in these homes often run through long, bend-heavy ductwork to the outside wall instead of a short straight run. Lint packs into the first elbow and stays there. We look for that on every single inspection because it is the single most common failure point in this neighborhood’s housing stock.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and arrive with professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units when the job calls for it. You know the tech’s name before they open your door. You get a written price before a single duct is touched. And every job falls under the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That is the Relay Standard, named for the Relay Home Co. family we’re part of, and it applies to every booking without exception.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Kendale Lakes
A Dryer Vent Inspection in Kendale Lakes runs $89 as a standalone service, and we waive that fee when you book a full cleaning with us. The inspection starts with a camera run through the entire lint pathway from the dryer connection to the exterior termination. You see exactly what we see. We check for crushed flexible foil duct, lint packed at the first 90-degree turn, obstructions at the exterior flapper, and any sign of wind-driven rain or debris blocking the vent termination. Most Kendale Lakes homeowners only call us when dry times double or the laundry room feels like a sauna. By that point, the vent has been failing for months.
What the Camera Shows
The camera inspection reveals what a visual check of the exterior flapper never can. We routinely find flexible foil duct that was crushed behind the dryer during installation or a move. We find vents where the first elbow inside the wall is packed solid while the exterior opening looks completely clear. You get to see all of it in real time, and we save the footage for your records.
When a Kendale Lakes Homeowner Should Book
Book an inspection if your dryer takes longer than one cycle to dry a normal load. Book one if the utility room feels humid when the dryer runs, if you smell a musty or burning odor, or if you bought the home and have no record of the vent ever being cleaned. Any of those signals in a 1970s CBS block home means the vent is working against a bend-heavy run, and the lint is accumulating somewhere you cannot see.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendale Lakes
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendale Lakes serves the small laundromats, apartment laundry rooms, and townhome complexes scattered through the area around Southwest 88th Street and Kendall Drive. These systems run many more cycles per day than a residential vent, which means lint builds faster and the risk of a vent fire climbs with every load. A standard commercial dryer vent cleaning in Kendale Lakes runs $250 to $425 depending on the length of the run, the number of dryer connections, and how long it has been since the last service. We price the whole system upfront, never per vent.
Multi-Unit and Laundry Room Systems
Apartment and condo laundry rooms in Kendale Lakes typically share common vent stacks that snake through walls and across ceilings. When one unit’s vent is clogged, the whole stack backs up. Our teams use Abatement Technologies containment equipment to keep lint from migrating into shared corridors while we work, and we provide before-and-after photo documentation so the property manager can show residents the work was actually completed. The Relay Standard applies to commercial jobs too: written price first, live arrival window, digital invoice by link.
Why Commercial Vents Fail Faster Here
The same 1970s construction that affects Kendale Lakes homes affects Kendale Lakes commercial buildings. Long horizontal runs, multiple elbows, and exterior terminations exposed to South Florida wind and rain all accelerate lint accumulation. A commercial vent that has not been cleaned in a year or more is almost certainly carrying several pounds of compacted lint and debris. We handle that with HEPA filtration at the exhaust so nothing blows back into the laundry room.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes
We service and replace components from the brands Kendale Lakes homeowners already have in their utility rooms. That includes Aprilaire filtration products, Guardsman vent caps and bird guards, and Rotobrush equipment we run ourselves. We keep common replacement parts in our trucks: rigid pipe sections, vent caps, bird guards, and elbow fittings sized for the duct runs typical in this area’s 1970s construction. If your vent needs a new cap or a crushed section of duct replaced, we usually have the part on board and finish the job in one visit. No special ordering, no second trip. Omar Haddad’s crews are equipped for the housing stock here because they see it every day.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Crushed flexible foil duct behind the dryer. In original 1970s Kendale Lakes homes, the flexible foil duct between the dryer and the wall often gets crushed when someone pushes the machine back into place. Lint then packs at the first bend inside the wall and never reaches the exterior flapper. You won’t know until dry times double.
- Blocked exterior terminations on long or roof-mounted runs. Many CBS block homes here have roof-mounted or long horizontal vent terminations. Wind-driven rain and debris block the flapper, so even a freshly cleaned vent still fails because the exterior termination was never inspected. We always check the termination point, not just the interior duct.
- Lint migrating into the air handler intake. The damp utility-room air that feeds a Kendale Lakes dryer often feeds the air handler intake in an attached closet. Lint and dust from a clogged dryer vent migrate into the blower motor and the supply and return ducts. A dryer vent job done without looking at the adjacent air handler misses half the problem.
- Sagging duct runs inside walls. Original 1970s Kendale Lakes construction sometimes buried flexible foil duct inside walls, where it sags and develops low spots. Lint collects in those pockets and compacts until the vent is fully blocked. This is a camera-inspection job; a quick exterior look will not catch it.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendale Lakes, FL
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Kendale Lakes runs $145 to $275. The price depends on the length of the vent run, the number of bends, whether the vent terminates at the roof or a long horizontal run, and how long it has been since the last cleaning. A Dryer Vent Inspection alone is $89, and we waive that fee when you book a full cleaning. Commercial systems run $250 to $425. We give you one flat price per system in writing before any work starts. That price does not change at the door, and it never turns into a per-vent upcharge. No teaser coupon pricing either. You’ll know the exact cost before we touch a single duct. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate on your Kendale Lakes home.
Our tech was called to a home near Kendale Lakes Elementary where the customer’s dryer had started taking two cycles to dry towels and the utility room felt humid. Camera inspection of the lint pathway showed the flexible foil duct had been crushed behind the dryer and packed solid at the first 90-degree turn in the wall. We put the run under negative pressure with HEPA filtration at the exhaust, used agitation tools to break up the packed lint, replaced the crushed section with rigid pipe, and showed the customer before-and-after photos of their own duct before we packed up.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendale Lakes
Your dryer vent needs cleaning if a normal load takes more than one full cycle to dry, if the utility room feels humid while the dryer runs, or if you notice a burning smell. In original 1970s Kendale Lakes homes, the bend-heavy vent runs mean lint packs at the first elbow long before you see any sign at the exterior flapper. If you have lived in the home for more than a year and have no record of a vent cleaning, it is time. We recommend an inspection at a minimum, and in most homes we see, an inspection turns into a cleaning because the camera reveals exactly what has been building inside the wall. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule a camera inspection; the fee is $89, waived with a full cleaning.
We price per system, never per vent. You get one flat price in writing before any work starts, and that price covers the entire lint pathway from the dryer connection to the exterior termination. There is no bait-and-switch, no per-vent upcharge, no price that changes once our technician is inside your Kendale Lakes home. The written price is part of The Relay Standard and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. A typical residential system runs $145 to $275. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Yes. We handle commercial dryer vent cleaning for laundromats, apartment laundry rooms, and small complexes throughout Kendale Lakes, including buildings along Southwest 88th Street and Kendall Drive. Commercial systems run $250 to $425 depending on run length and the number of dryer connections. We use Abatement Technologies containment units to keep lint out of shared corridors, provide before-and-after photo documentation, and give property managers a written price before work begins. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule a commercial estimate.
Yes. Every job includes before-and-after photos of your own ductwork, and we walk you through exactly what the camera saw before and after cleaning. You’ll see the packed lint at the first elbow, the cleared pathway after we finish, and the exterior termination inspected and clean. That photo documentation is part of The Relay Standard and is included on every booking. No other dryer vent company in Kendale Lakes gives you that level of proof as a standard part of the job. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule.
We do not promise same-day service because dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled job, and you should be wary of any company that promises it. Proper cleaning involves camera inspection, agitation, negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, and documentation; that takes a scheduled appointment. We book quickly, usually within a day or two for Kendale Lakes homes, and we give you a live trackable arrival window so you’re never waiting on a four-hour window. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person will schedule your appointment.
