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 Loomis
Dryer vent cleaning in Loomis typically runs $145 to $285 for a standard single-dryer home, and takes about 60 to 90 minutes from arrival to final photo. We work throughout the Loomis Basin, up the Penryn Road corridor, and into the newer subdivisions off King Road and Horseshoe Bar Road. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a load or the laundry room smells like burnt dust, call us at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the schedule with a written price before any work starts.
Loomis sits in Placer County’s wildfire-prone foothills, which changes how dryer vents actually behave compared to a flat Sacramento Valley subdivision. We’ll get into that below. First, the basics: what this job involves, what it costs, and why we do it the way we do.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Loomis’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning team that Loomis homeowners call when they want the work done once, priced honestly, and documented with photos. Omar Haddad leads our crews, and he’s set one standard: every job gets a camera inspection, a written flat price per system, and before-and-after photos of the actual vent run. No per-vent pricing. No “we’ll see when we get there” pricing games.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and you’ll know the tech’s name before they park in your driveway. We run Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA vacuums under negative pressure, which means the lint we loosen goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room. That matters in Loomis, where wildfire smoke has made a lot of us far more aware of what’s moving through the air inside our homes.
Every booking through Loomis gets the Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job we do here. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Loomis
As a Dryer Vent Cleaning Company serving Loomis, we start every job the same way: a camera inspection of the full vent run, from the dryer connection to the outside termination. Most Loomis homes have vent runs between 8 and 25 feet, depending on whether the dryer sits on an interior wall or an exterior wall. The inspection tells us what’s actually in there before we touch anything, which is why we can give a flat per-system price instead of an estimate that balloons once the tech is inside.
A standard cleaning in a Loomis home costs between $145 and $285 for one dryer. If you have a second-story laundry room or a long run that terminates through the roof, expect to be toward the upper end. We’ll confirm the price in writing before we start, and that price does not change at the door.
The Cleaning Process We Use
We run rotary agitation tools through the full length of the vent while a HEPA vacuum pulls negative pressure from the outside termination. That loosens packed lint and debris and carries it straight into the vacuum. After the run is clear, we check the exterior flapper and cap, then photograph the interior of the vent so you can see the before and after yourself.
When Loomis Homeowners Should Call
If a full dryer load takes more than one cycle to dry, or your laundry room gets humid while the dryer runs, or you can’t remember the last time the vent was cleaned, it’s time. Most homes in Loomis need dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 24 months, depending on laundry volume and vent length.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Loomis
A Dryer Vent Inspection in Loomis is the starting point for any vent we work on. We run a small camera from the exterior termination inward, which shows us crushed flex duct, bird screens left by previous owners, deep lint packing, and flappers that no longer seal. The inspection is included with every cleaning we do here, and it’s also available on its own for $89.
An inspection-only visit is the right call if you’ve just bought a home in Loomis and don’t know the condition of the vent run, or if you suspect a bird or rodent has nested in the exterior cap. We’ll give you a clear written summary of what we found and a flat price if cleaning or repair is needed.
What the Camera Shows
The camera reveals things a visual check at the dryer can’t. We regularly find foil flex runs that were crushed when a previous owner pushed the dryer back against the wall, or plastic bird screens that collect lint like a net. In Loomis foothill homes, long second-story runs are common, and those hold more buildup than a short straight shot through an exterior wall.
Bird Guards and Caps
Loomis sits close to open oak woodland and pasture, and birds trying to nest in dryer vent terminations is a recurring issue. If we find a bird guard that’s clogged with lint or a flapper that won’t close, we’ll show you on the camera and replace the cap as part of the same visit. A working exterior flapper is what keeps wildfire smoke from backdrafting into your laundry room during bad air days.
Trusted Brands We Service in Loomis
We service and clean dryer vents on all major dryer brands without bias, and we install replacement caps and flappers that hold up to Loomis’s hot dry summers. Because we work here regularly, our trucks carry the common cap sizes and termination styles found on Loomis homes, which means most vent cap replacements happen same-visit rather than as a follow-up. We also run our own cleaning equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies, which means we’re never dragging a shop-vac through your house. The difference is real: professional negative-pressure extraction doesn’t blow lint dust back into the laundry room.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Loomis Homes
- Crushed flex runs behind the dryer. When the dryer gets pushed back toward the wall, the accordion-style foil duct collapses and chokes airflow. A crushed run makes the dryer work harder and packs lint fast. We see this most often in Loomis homes where the laundry closet is tight and the dryer has been in place for years.
- Bird screens and guards choking the exterior cap. Loomis’s oak-studded lots mean more birds looking for a dry place to nest. A screen added by a previous owner becomes a lint trap, and the vent can’t exhaust properly. We remove these and replace the termination with a proper flapper.
- Long roof-terminating runs with heavy buildup. Many two-story Loomis homes vent the dryer through the roof, which means a 15 to 25 foot run with a lot of surface area for lint to cling to. These runs clog faster than a short wall termination and they need cleaning more often.
- Wildfire-season backdrafting through a failed flapper. When Loomis homes are buttoned up against smoke and the exterior vent flapper is stuck open or partially jammed with lint, exterior air can pull back through the dryer vent into the laundry room. A clean vent with a working flapper stops that.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Loomis, CA
Here’s the honest math for Loomis. A standard single-dryer vent cleaning runs $145 to $285, with the final number confirmed by camera inspection before we start. Longer runs, roof terminations, and second-story laundry rooms land at the higher end. A standalone dryer vent inspection is $89, and if we find something during a cleaning that needs replacement, like a vent cap or flapper, we’ll quote that as a separate line item in writing before touching it. You approve every dollar before we spend it.
We don’t do per-vent pricing, and we don’t run a teaser coupon that turns into a $600 invoice once the tech is in your driveway. One flat price per system, agreed before work begins, with before-and-after photos of your own vent run as proof the work happened. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate over the phone.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Loomis
Most Loomis homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 24 months. Homes with long roof runs, two-story laundry rooms, or heavy daily laundry use should lean toward annual cleaning. If your dryer is already taking two cycles per load, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you scheduled before the vent gets worse.
A full cleaning includes a camera inspection of the entire vent run, rotary agitation with a Rotobrush tool, negative-pressure HEPA extraction from the exterior termination, an exterior cap and flapper check, and before-and-after photos of the interior of your vent. The price is flat per system and agreed in writing before we start.
We price by the system, not the vent. A standard single-dryer Loomis home runs $145 to $285, with roof runs and second-story laundry rooms at the higher end. You get a written price before any work starts, and that number does not change at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free phone estimate.
No, and honestly, a same-day promise usually means a rushed job with no camera inspection. We schedule dry vent cleaning in Loomis within a few days, and you’ll get a live trackable arrival window through the Relay Standard so you’re not sitting around wondering when we’ll show up.
Loomis sits in wildfire country, and the habit of sealing homes up tight against summer smoke means a dryer vent with a stuck or clogged flapper can pull exterior air and smoke back into the laundry room instead of exhausting it. A clean vent with a working exterior flapper keeps the air moving one direction: out. Call (737) 727-2314 to get yours checked.
Our crew was called to a two-story home in the Loomis Basin area where the homeowner reported the dryer taking two full cycles to dry a load and the laundry room smelling like burnt dust. We ran a camera inspection from the outside termination and found the flexible foil run crushed behind the dryer, packed solid with lint, and a bird nest screen the previous owner had added. We cleared the run with agitation tools under negative pressure and replaced the flapper. After the cleanout, the dryer dried a normal load in one cycle, and the homeowner had before-and-after photos of the interior run to confirm every foot of it was clear.
