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 New Port Richey
Dryer vent cleaning in New Port Richey costs $129 – $249 for most single-story ranch homes, and the job takes roughly 60 – 90 minutes from arrival to before-and-after photos. That’s the honest range, and it’s the number you’ll see on the written price before any tool comes off the truck. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we work throughout New Port Richey, FL, from Gulf Harbors to Seven Springs. If your dryer has started taking two cycles to finish a load, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through what’s actually going on in that vent run.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is New Port Richey’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
New Port Richey homeowners call us because we do the full run, not the easy ten feet near the dryer. Most houses here were built between 1960 and 1985, and the dryer vent runs are long, sometimes 15 to 25 feet, terminating through a soffit or a low roof jack. The handyman specials and low-ball coupons skip those runs entirely. Our technicians run a Rotobrush or Nikro HEPA system the full length, every time, and we show you the before-and-after photos of your own ducts before we leave. Not stock photos. Yours.
Every technician who arrives at your door in New Port Richey is background-checked, uniformed, and you’ll know their name before they ring the bell. The price is written and handed to you before work starts. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every job we book in New Port Richey, no exceptions.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he holds every New Port Richey booking to the Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. A live person answers our calls 24/7, so when you call (737) 727-2314, you get a human, not a voicemail tree.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in New Port Richey
As a Dryer Vent Cleaning Company serving New Port Richey, our job is straightforward: remove every bit of lint and debris from the interior dryer vent run, from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination point. In New Port Richey, that often means running an auger and HEPA vacuum through 15 to 25 feet of ductwork that snakes through an attic or a soffit. We don’t do surface passes. We clean the entire run.
Most New Port Richey homes need a full Dryer Vent Cleaning once every 12 to 24 months. If you have a long run, a gas dryer, or a household that runs multiple loads daily, aim closer to every 12 months. A typical full-length cleaning in New Port Richey runs $129 – $249, depending on run length and access. Some older homes with rooftop terminations and steep roof pitches take a bit longer, and that’s reflected in the written quote you get before we begin.
Lint Removal and Bird Guard Installation
We pull accumulated lint, pet hair, and whatever else has collected in the run. In New Port Richey’s salt-air climate, exterior vent flaps corrode and stick open, which invites birds, rodents, and humid air into the run. We check the exterior hood on every job and can install a bird guard or replace a corroded vent cap so the run stays clear after we leave.
Vent Rerouting When the Run Is Wrong
Some New Port Richey homes have dryer vents that were routed badly from the start, often through a soffit with too many bends or through flexible foil that’s crushed behind an appliance. We can reroute a run with rigid metal duct and re-secure the hood so airflow is actually correct, not just temporarily clear.
Dryer Vent Inspection in New Port Richey
A Dryer Vent Inspection in New Port Richey is for homeowners who want to know exactly what’s inside the run before committing to a cleaning, or who have a recurring problem and want a real diagnosis. We run a camera down the full vent run and show you the footage. The inspection runs $79 – $129 and takes about 45 minutes.
New Port Richey homeowners call for inspections when a dryer suddenly starts running hot, when laundry smells scorched, or when the home just changed hands and nobody knows the last time the vent was touched. An inspection tells you whether you need a full cleaning, a repair, a reroute, or nothing at all. If you need a cleaning and the inspection finds a blockage, we apply the inspection fee toward your cleaning that same visit.
What the Camera Shows
We look for crushed duct, separated joints, foil that’s collapsed, oversized runs, pest intrusion, and how much lint is actually packed inside. You’ll see the photos and video with your own eyes before any cleaning work is scheduled.
When You’re Not Sure You Need a Cleaning
If your dryer is new, the run is short and rigid, and airflow at the exterior hood feels strong, you may not need a cleaning this year. We’ll tell you that plainly. New Port Richey’s older housing stock means long, aging runs are common, but we don’t sell a cleaning where the camera shows a healthy vent.
Trusted Brands We Service in New Port Richey
We work on every major dryer brand homeowners have in New Port Richey: Samsung, LG, Maytag, Whirlpool, GE, Kenmore, Electrolux. We also stock common replacement parts locally so a corroded hood or a failed vent cap doesn’t mean a second trip. Our equipment is professional grade, not a truck-mounted shop vac: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units for larger jobs. You’ll see the tools on the truck and know what’s being used inside your home.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in New Port Richey Homes
- Long soffit runs that never get fully cleaned. Most New Port Richey ranches have dryer vents terminating through a soffit or low roof jack, 15 to 25 feet from the dryer. Crews with short hoses clean the first few feet and leave the rest packed with lint.
- Crushed flexible foil duct behind appliances. In the 1960s and 1970s homes around Gulf Harbors and Beacon Square, we regularly find foil duct pinched flat behind a water heater or washer. Lint packs solid against that pinch point and the dryer overheats silently.
- Corroded exterior hoods from salt air. Living this close to the Gulf means exterior vent flaps rust and stick open within a few years. That lets humid air, rain, and pests into the run, and the dryer fights that moisture every cycle.
- Per-vent pricing games. We hear from New Port Richey homeowners who booked a low flat-rate cleaning and watched the price climb once the tech mentioned “extra vents” or “additional runs.” We don’t do that. One flat price per system, written before we start.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in New Port Richey
Every 12 to 18 months for most New Port Richey homes. If your vent run is longer than 15 feet, if you have a gas dryer, or if you run multiple loads every day, clean it every 12 months. The long soffit runs common in New Port Richey’s 1960s – 1980s ranch homes collect lint faster than short exterior-wall terminations. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you figure out the right schedule for your specific run.
If the run is short, made of rigid metal, and the airflow at the exterior hood feels strong, an inspection might show a healthy vent that doesn’t need cleaning yet. New homes with code-compliant short runs can sometimes go two years or more. We’ll tell you plainly if the camera shows a clean run. We don’t sell cleanings that aren’t needed.
New Port Richey’s housing stock is dominated by 1960s – 1980s single-story ranch homes with long vent runs, often 15 to 25 feet, terminating through a soffit or low roof jack. Those runs collect lint faster than short exterior-wall terminations, and they’re exactly the runs that budget crews skip. Add the salt-air corrosion on exterior hoods and the humid Gulf climate, and New Port Richey dryers work harder than dryers in newer inland subdivisions. That’s why the full run matters here.
We arrive with a live-trackable arrival window, you know the technician’s name, and you get a written price before any tool comes off the truck. We run a camera down the full run, then clean the entire length with a rotary brush and HEPA-rated vacuum, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination. We check the hood for corrosion and pest access, and we show you before-and-after photos of the inside of your own vent before we leave. You can call (737) 727-2314 to book.
By the job. One flat price per system, written before we start, and it doesn’t change at the door. New Port Richey homeowners tell us about crews quoting a low flat rate and then adding per-vent surcharges once they’re on site. We don’t do per-vent pricing, ever. The price you see on the written quote is the price you pay. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote, and we’ll put it in writing before any work begins.
