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.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Murphy’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Murphy homeowners keep calling us back for a simple reason: we show up when we say we will, we charge what we quoted, and we prove the work was actually done. Every booking runs through the Relay Standard, which means you get a live trackable arrival window on your phone, a written price before work starts, before-and-after photos of your own vent run, and a digital invoice you can pay by link. You’ll know your technician’s name before they knock, and they’ll arrive in uniform with a background check already cleared.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s not a selective guarantee – it applies to every booking without exception. And when you call, a live person answers, 24/7. No voicemail loops, no phone tag. Omar Haddad leads our Murphy service area, and he holds every crew to the same standard: clean the entire vent run, not just the first few feet.
Our reputation in Murphy has been built one vent at a time. Homeowners here know each other, and word travels fast when a contractor does what they promised. We’ve cleaned vents in Maxwell Creek, in the neighborhoods behind Murphy City Hall, and along the FM 544 corridor. We know this town’s homes – and we know exactly where the lint hides in them.
Dryer Vent Installation in Murphy
Dryer Vent Installation in Murphy is a specialty of ours because this town’s housing stock demands it. The early-2000s two-story builds along FM 544 put laundry rooms on the second floor, which means the vent run travels up through unconditioned attic space before it terminates at the roof or soffit. That’s a long run with elbows, and it needs to be installed correctly the first time or lint collects at every bend. A typical dryer vent installation in Murphy runs $185 – $320 depending on run length, attic access, and termination type.
We stock the parts Murphy homes actually need, including rigid metal duct sections, proper termination hoods, and bird guards. No flex duct run through an attic, ever. Flex is for the short transition behind the dryer, period.
Rooftop and Soffit Terminations
In Murphy, a lot of dryer vents terminate at the roof or in the soffit rather than through a side wall. That termination point matters more than most homeowners realize. A poorly flashed roof boot leaks into the attic. A soffit termination without a proper hood pulls moist dryer exhaust right back into the attic, where it condenses and feeds mold. We install the right hood for the location, and we seal every penetration properly.
Vent Rerouting for Shorter Runs
Sometimes the cleanest fix is a shorter route. When a Murphy laundry room backs up to an exterior wall but the existing vent takes a 25-foot detour through the attic, rerouting can cut drying time permanently. We’ll show you the options with a camera inspection first, then quote a reroute with one flat price before any work begins. You’ll see the route on your phone before you approve it.
Dryer Vent Repair in Murphy
Dryer Vent Repair in Murphy usually comes down to one of three things: a crushed transition hose behind the dryer, a damaged or clogged termination hood, or a vent run that has come apart in the attic. Each one restricts airflow enough to make your dryer work harder and get hotter than it should. Basic repairs in Murphy run $95 – $180, and if we’re already out for a cleaning, the repair is usually quick and included in a single flat quote.
We repair what’s actually broken. No upselling, no “while we’re here” add-ons. You’ll see the problem on camera before we touch it, and we’ll tell you exactly what it costs to fix.
Crushed Transition Replacement
Behind nearly every dryer in a Murphy laundry closet, there’s a length of flexible duct that connects the machine to the wall. In tight spaces, that hose gets shoved, kinked, and crushed flat against the wall. It restricts airflow just as badly as a lint clog, and it’s the first thing we check. Most Murphy homes built in the early 2000s have the original transition hose still in place, crushed beyond saving. We replace it while you watch, with rigid or semi-rigid metal on request.
Termination Hood and Bird Guard Repair
Murphy’s older neighborhoods near Maxwell Creek have mature trees and a healthy bird population. Birds find soffit terminations inviting, and once they nest in or around the hood, the vent stops exhausting properly. We remove nests, clean out the hood, repair or replace damaged flaps, and install bird guards when needed. This is one repair homeowners rarely see coming because it’s all happening at roofline, out of sight.
Trusted Brands We Service in Murphy
We service all major dryer brands in Murphy: LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Kenmore, Electrolux, and the front-loaders that fill most two-story laundry rooms here. What matters more than the dryer brand is the vent itself, and we spec parts that last in Texas heat. For filtration and air quality work, we carry Nikro HEPA vacuums and Abatement Technologies containment units on our trucks. For dryer vent jobs specifically, we stock metal transition hoses, rigid duct, hoods, guards, and all the fittings Murphy’s attic-routed runs need. When you call, we’ll have your parts on the truck the same visit – no waiting on a second trip from a supplier.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Murphy Homes
- Attic-routed runs that only get surface-cleaned. A lot of Murphy two-story homes get a “cleaning” that just clears the first few feet at the wall. The felted lint deeper inside the attic run stays put, and the problem comes back in months. Our camera inspection shows the whole run, not just the entry point.
- Crushed flex hose behind the dryer. Murphy laundry closets are tight, and the original transition hose usually ends up kinked or crushed against the back wall. It looks like a clogged vent, but it’s actually a crushed hose – and the fix takes ten minutes.
- Hidden roof or soffit termination blockages. When the vent exits at the roofline, you can’t see it from the ground. A clogged screen or packed lint hood looks clear from every angle you can check. We inspect with a camera and clear it from the inside out.
- Bird nests in termination hoods. Older Murphy neighborhoods with mature trees have more bird pressure around rooflines. Nests inside the hood or vent opening restrict airflow and create a fire hazard. We remove them safely and add guards when the homeowner wants them.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Murphy, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Murphy typically runs $135 – $235 for a standard single-family home. A two-story home with a long attic run and rooftop termination runs toward the higher end, while a single-story home with a short direct wall vent runs toward the lower end. We charge one flat price per system, not per vent, and that price is in writing before we begin. No bait-and-switch, no “add-ons” discovered mid-job. If your vent run needs a repair during the cleaning, we’ll show you the camera footage and quote the fix separately before touching anything.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Murphy
Every 12 to 18 months for most Murphy two-story homes, though it depends on how often you dry and whether your vent terminates at the roofline. The long attic runs in Murphy’s early-2000s builds collect lint faster than short wall vents, so a once-a-year cleaning is reasonable for heavier-use households. If your dryer is taking longer than one cycle to dry a load of towels, that’s your signal to call us sooner at (737) 727-2314 and get a realistic assessment over the phone.
Because the parts you can’t see are exactly where Murphy vents fail. The vent run up through the attic and out the roof can’t be inspected from the wall or the ground, and that’s where felted lint packs tight. Our camera inspection pushes through the entire run and shows you what’s actually inside, so we clean the whole system instead of pretending the first three feet are the whole job.
Per system, always. You get one flat price for the entire vent run from the back of your dryer to the termination point outside your Murphy home. No per-vent pricing, no fees for elbows, no upcharges for attic access. The number we quote before the work starts is the number on your invoice. That’s the Cardinal standard.
Same-day scheduling depends on the day’s route and crew availability, so we won’t promise what we can’t guarantee.
