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 Longwood
Dryer vent cleaning in Longwood, FL typically costs $149 – $289 for a standard single-dryer home, depending on vent run length and how packed the lint column is. Most jobs take 60 – 90 minutes, and you get before-and-after photos of your own ducts before we leave the driveway. Call (737) 727-2314 for a straight answer on your vent, not a sales pitch.
We work throughout Longwood every week, from the ranch homes off Wekiva Springs Road to the two-story subdivisions near the 32750 corridor. Our techs know the housing stock here: 1970s – 1990s builds where the dryer hugs an exterior wall and the vent run snakes through multiple 90-degree elbows before it ever sees daylight. That’s where your lint hides, and that’s where we go after it.
If you’re in Longwood and your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load, the problem isn’t your dryer. It’s the vent run behind it. Let’s fix that.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Longwood’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Longwood homeowners call us because we do one thing well: we clean the entire vent run, not just the first twelve inches. Our techs run a camera inspection on every Dryer Vent Cleaning job before touching anything, so you see the blockage we see. Then we use Rotobrush agitation tools under negative pressure with Nikro HEPA filtration to pull the lint out without blowing it back into your laundry room. That’s the professional-grade difference, and it matters in Longwood’s older ranch homes where the runs are longest.
Omar Haddad leads our crew, and he’s built the team around a simple standard: the price quoted is the price you pay, written down before work starts. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job. If the vent isn’t right within a full year, we come back and correct it at no charge. That’s not a limited-time offer. It’s how we’ve always worked.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every Longwood booking comes with The Relay Standard: a live arrival window you can track from your phone, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay by link. No four-hour windows. No vague estimates. No tech you don’t know the name of before they knock.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Longwood
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Longwood should do more than shove a brush up the pipe and call it done. We’re also the team to call for our HVAC Cleaning in Longwood. We’re the only one in this area that combines camera inspection, negative-pressure extraction, and before-and-after photos as standard on every single job. For a typical Longwood home with a vent run under 25 feet, you’re looking at $149 – $229. Longer runs with multiple elbows, like the ones in Sanlando Springs ranch homes and the 1970s subdivisions off Lake Mary Boulevard, run $229 – $289. You’ll know your exact price in writing before a single tool comes off the truck.
What the Work Actually Involves
We start at the dryer, disconnect the transition duct, and inspect it. Foil transition tubing is common in Longwood homes and it’s a lint trap waiting to happen. We replace it with rigid pipe when needed. Then we run a camera down the vent to find exactly where the blockage sits before we agitate it loose under negative pressure with HEPA filtration. The debris goes into a containment unit, not back into your home.
What You See When We’re Done
Photos. Real photos of your vent, before and after, taken from the camera feed. You’re not taking our word for it. You’re looking at your own ductwork, clear end to end, with the lint column we pulled out documented in the job report. Omar Haddad and the Cardinal team insist on this because a vent that looks clear from the outside often isn’t, and you deserve proof.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Longwood
Dryer Vent Inspection in Longwood is $89 when booked as a standalone service, and that fee rolls into the cleaning if you decide to move forward the same visit. We use the camera feed to check every elbow in the run, look for separation at joints, verify the termination point has proper airflow, and confirm the vent cap opens and closes correctly. For Longwood’s older ranch homes with long, elbow-rich runs, this is how we find lint packing at the second or third bend, far from where the trap collects it.
When Longwood’s Climate Makes Inspection Non-Negotiable
Longwood’s humid summers keep dryers running year-round. Multiple loads a day, week after week, push lint deeper into the run because the warm, moist air never really dries out. That humid lint compacts against the pipe walls and sticks. A visual check at the trap tells you nothing about what’s packed behind the second 90-degree bend. Camera inspection does.
What an Inspection Catches Before It Becomes a Fire Hazard
Lint is flammable. It’s not a maintenance annoyance. Packed lint inside a hot vent run, inches from your dryer’s heating element, is how house fires start. Our inspection also catches bird nests at the exterior termination, damaged vent caps, and corroded pipe from Longwood’s summer humidity. You’ll get a clear report on what we found, what your range is for addressing it, and a written price if you want it fixed.
Trusted Brands We Service in Longwood
We service and clean vent runs on every major dryer brand you’ll find in Longwood homes: Whirlpool, Kenmore, LG, Maytag, GE, Samsung, and Speed Queen. Our techs stock rigid transition duct, replacement vent caps, and bird guards on the truck, so if we find a problem during inspection we can usually resolve it the same visit. We run Rotobrush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA vacuums for extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment so no lint escapes the work area. That’s the difference between a professional-grade job and a guy with a shop vac.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Longwood Homes
- Long, elbow-heavy vent runs in 1970s – 1990s ranch homes. The dryer sits against an exterior wall, so the run makes two or three 90-degree turns before terminating. Lint packs at each bend, and the deepest one is invisible from the trap. We’ve pulled lint columns over six feet long from Sanlando Springs runs that looked fine at the wall.
- Foil transition duct that should have been replaced years ago. Foil is ribbed inside, which catches lint like a filter. In Longwood’s humid summers, that lint stays damp and sticky. We replace it with rigid pipe on most jobs because it’s a fire hazard waiting for a spark.
- Bird and rodent nests at the termination point. Longwood’s tree canopy, especially in the neighborhoods along Markham Woods Road and Wekiva Springs Road, means birds regularly build nests right at the vent cap. That blocks airflow and forces lint to back up into the run.
- Crushed or sagging pipe from attic runs. Many two-story Longwood homes route the dryer vent up and out through the attic, where insulation, stored boxes, and construction traffic crush the flex pipe. That cuts the airflow cross-section and traps lint at the pinch point. Only camera inspection catches this reliably.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Longwood
Every 12 to 18 months for most Longwood homes, and every 6 to 12 months if you run multiple loads daily, have a long vent run, or live in a home from the 1970s – 1990s housing stock that dominates this area. Longwood’s humid summers mean lint stays damp and sticky, so it compacts faster than it does in drier climates. If you notice clothes taking longer to dry or the dryer exterior running excessively hot, get it inspected now, not next year. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you an honest recommendation for your specific home.
No, we never do. We charge one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. The reason we avoid per-vent and per-foot pricing is exactly what makes other providers so unpredictable: the longer and more complicated your vent run, the more you’d pay, and you have no way to verify whether the meter they quoted is honest. Our Longwood pricing is $149 – $289 for a standard dryer vent, full stop. That’s the number you approve, and it doesn’t change. For an exact quote on your home, call (737) 727-2314.
We disconnect the dryer, inspect the transition duct, run a camera through the full run to locate the blockage, then agitate the lint loose using Rotobrush tools while a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulls everything out under negative pressure. That means the loosened debris goes straight into the containment unit, not back into your laundry room. We finish by reconnecting everything, verifying airflow at the termination point, and showing you before-and-after photos of your own vent. The whole job takes 60 – 90 minutes for most Longwood homes.
No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled service that requires the right equipment and enough time to do the job correctly, including camera inspection and photo documentation. We book Longwood appointments with a live arrival window you can track, and we call if anything shifts. What we can promise is that the job gets done right the first time, with proof, at the price we quoted. Call (737) 727-2314 to find the next available slot for your area.
Lint is fuel, and a clogged dryer vent is how house fires start. Longwood’s humid climate makes lint heavier and more likely to compact inside the run, especially in the long elbow-rich vent paths common in this area’s 1970s – 1990s ranch homes. You can’t see the blockage at the deepest elbow, and that’s where the fire risk lives. Cleaning the lint trap you can reach does not address the vent run you can’t. Call (737) 727-2314 for a camera inspection, and we’ll show you exactly what’s inside your vent.
