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 Lebanon
A dryer vent cleaning in Lebanon, TN typically costs between $139 and $249 as a flat rate for the full system, and the job runs 45 to 90 minutes depending on how long the lint pathway is. That price covers camera inspection, agitation of the entire duct run, negative-pressure extraction of everything we loosen, and before-and-after photos of your own vent before we leave. We schedule Lebanon appointments Monday through Saturday, and a live person answers when you call (737) 727-2314.
Lebanon’s housing stock makes dryer vent work different from what you’d run into in nearby Metro Nashville. We’re talking short, straight runs behind laundry closets in houses off West Main, and twenty-foot flex-duct mazes behind finished basements in newer subdivisions out toward Highway 109. We plan the job around what your vent actually looks like, not what a dispatcher assumes from a zip code. Scheduling is coordinated through our brand’s Memphis office, but the crew you’ll see at your door is the one serving Lebanon locally with our Lebanon HVAC Cleaning expertise.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Lebanon’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Omar Haddad leads our dryer vent work across Lebanon, and he’s built the local operation around one rule: show the homeowner what we’re doing, charge what we said we’d charge, and stand behind it for a full year. That’s not a slogan. It’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it follows every single booking we take in Lebanon without exception. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and correct it at no charge.
Lebanon homeowners consistently tell us the same thing set them at ease: a written price handed over before a single duct is touched. No flat-rate-per-vent quoting that suddenly grows once the technician sees the actual run. No “while I’m here” upsells. Just one flat price per system, agreed to before the Rotobrush comes off the truck.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every Lebanon booking carries The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo proof, and a digital invoice you can pay from a link. You’ll know the technician’s name before they arrive, and that technician will be background-checked and in uniform. This is how Dryer Vent Cleaning should work, and Lebanon homeowners have made it clear they expect it done this way.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Lebanon
Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning is the dryer vent cleaning company Lebanon homeowners call when a dryer starts taking two cycles to dry a load, when the outside hood stops flapping, or when they simply haven’t had the run cleaned in years. The work involves pulling the dryer, inspecting the entire lint pathway with a camera, agitating the duct walls with rotary brushes, and running a Nikro HEPA vacuum under negative pressure. Negative-pressure extraction means everything we loosen in the duct goes into the vacuum, not into your laundry room or back into your living space.
In Lebanon, dryer vent runs vary more than in almost any mid-state town we serve. A home near the square built in the 1940s might have a six-foot straight shot to an exterior wall. A house off Highway 109 built in the last five years might have a flex-duct run that twists over a finished ceiling and exits through the roof. Neither surprises us anymore. What matters is that we camera it before we clean it, because the right tool for a short rigid run isn’t the same as what a long flex run needs.
Flat-Rate Vent Cleaning
We quote one flat price for the full system before work starts. Most Lebanon dryer vent cleanings fall between $139 and $249. That covers the camera inspection, the full agitation pass, HEPA extraction, and a hood check at the outside termination.
Lint Removal That Goes Beyond the Trap
Pulling the dryer and vacuuming whatever lint is reachable at the connection point isn’t cleaning. That’s what a $59 “special” gets you. The lint that causes fires is deeper in the run, packed against bends and sagging flex sections. We remove the full pathway buildup, and we photograph what we removed so you can see it.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Lebanon
A dryer vent inspection in Lebanon is what we recommend before any cleaning if you’ve moved into a new house, if your dryer’s been acting up, or if you simply don’t know when the vent was last touched. The inspection runs $79 to $129 and covers a camera push through the full lint pathway, a flow-rate check at the outside hood, and an honest read on whether cleaning is needed yet or can wait. If you add a cleaning on the same visit, we apply the inspection fee to the cleaning price.
In Lebanon’s older homes, inspections turn up things cleaning alone won’t fix: crushed elbows behind drywall, disconnected flex sections spewing humid air into wall cavities, bird nests in the hood, rusted dampers that no longer close. We find these and show you the footage. Whether we fix it that day or you decide to wait, you’ll know what the vent actually looks like.
Camera-Verified Lint Pathway
Every inspection includes footage of your vent from the dryer connection to the outside termination. You’ll see the accumulation level, the material condition, and any spots where the run sags or separates. No guesswork, no scare tactics.
Hood and Termination Check
We check the outside hood for bird activity, damaged dampers, and blocked louvers. Lebanon’s older neighborhoods have real bird pressure, and a hood missing its flap in spring is an open door to nesting.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lebanon
We service and clean every dryer vent regardless of the dryer brand connected to it: Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Speed Queen, and the older Kenmore units still running in Lebanon’s mill-era houses. Our trucks carry Guardsman hoods and replacement caps, and we keep common vent hardware stocked for same-visit fixes when a hood is rusted through or a damper has seized. Our cleaning equipment is professional grade: Rotobrush rotary agitation systems for the duct walls, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment when we’re working in a finished Lebanon home where airborne lint needs to stay contained.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Lebanon Homes
- Long flex-duct runs behind finished walls. Lebanon’s newer subdivisions out past Highway 109 favor flex duct routed through enclosed cavities and out the roof. These runs accumulate lint faster than rigid duct, and they’re the easiest to crush during installation. We camera every inch to find the kinks.
- Crushed or disconnected elbows behind the dryer. We ran a dryer vent job off Coles Ferry Pike where the homeowner’s dryer had started taking two cycles to dry a load. Our tech pulled the flex duct behind the unit, found a crushed elbow packed with lint, and ran agitation tools through the full run under negative pressure. By the time we finished, airflow at the outside hood was strong and the homeowner had before-and-after photos of their own lint pathway.
- Bird and rodent activity in the outside hood. Lebanon’s tree canopy near the square and around Cedars of Lebanon State Park means active bird pressure on exterior terminations. We find nests in hoods regularly, especially in homes where the original flap damper has rusted away.
- Hoods that don’t close in summer. A missing or rusted damper lets conditioned air pour out of your laundry room all summer. Lebanon gets real heat from June through August, and a broken hood flap is a small fix with an outsized effect on your electric bill.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lebanon, TN
A full Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lebanon runs $139 to $249, flat, for the entire system before work starts. That’s the price we agree to before a duct is touched, and it doesn’t change at the door. A standalone dryer vent inspection runs $79 to $129, credited toward cleaning if you add it the same day. Hood replacement or bird guard installation adds $45 to $120 depending on the hardware and access, quoted before we start any of it.
What shifts a Lebanon job within that range is the run length, the accessibility of the dryer, and whether we’re working on an interior laundry closet or a garage setup. A short, straight, easily accessed run lands at the low end. A long flex run through a finished wall, or a roof termination requiring ladder work, lands higher. You’ll always know your number before we begin.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lebanon
Most Lebanon homes need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months, but the honest answer depends on what your vent looks like. A short, straight run with a four-inch rigid duct and a clean hood might go two years or more between cleanings. A long flex run through a finished wall, or a household running multiple loads daily, will need it annually. We’ll tell you after a camera inspection whether yours is due or can wait, and we won’t upsell a cleaning you don’t need. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection first.
Flat. One price for the entire system, quoted before we start, with no per-vent upcharging. Most Lebanon cleanings run $139 to $249 depending on run length and access. Per-vent pricing is where the trap lives: a quote that sounds cheap for “up to five vents” suddenly isn’t when the technician decides your house has eight. We don’t play that game. You’ll know the full number before the Rotobrush comes off the truck.
A camera push from the dryer connection to the outside hood, a flow-rate check at the termination, a visual on the hood and damper condition, and a plain-language read on whether cleaning is needed now or can wait. You get the footage, and if you add cleaning the same day, the inspection fee applies to the cleaning price. In Lebanon’s older homes around the square, the inspection often finds things cleaning alone wouldn’t address, like crushed ducts or disconnected runs.
No. Dryer vent cleaning in Lebanon is a scheduled job, and we book real appointment windows, not rush promises that leave you sitting at home wondering when anyone will show. What you will get is The Relay Standard: a live, trackable arrival window so you know exactly when your technician is coming, and a text when they’re en route. If you call (737) 727-2314, a live person answers and gives you the next available window, not a voicemail loop.
You’ll see it. Every job ends with before-and-after photos of your own lint pathway, not stock images. Airflow at the outside hood gets tested and recorded. And every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and correct it at no charge, under Omar Haddad’s direct oversight. That’s the standard, written into every booking.
