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 North Fort Myers
Dryer vent cleaning in North Fort Myers typically costs $149 – $249 for a standard single-story home with a straight or single-elbow run. If you’re on a second floor or your vent snakes through a block wall with multiple turns, expect $229 – $349. We’ll give you one flat price per system before we start, not a per-vent menu that grows once the tech is in your laundry room. Call (737) 727-2314 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
We work throughout North Fort Myers every week. You’ll see our vans along Bayshore Road, through the neighborhoods off Pine Island Road, and down by the Caloosahatchee. Dryer Vent Cleaning is one of the three services we specialize in, and when we say we know North Fort Myers homes, we mean the actual houses: the 1970s and 80s block construction, the long vent runs punched through exterior walls, and the humid air that turns lint into a damp, stubborn mat instead of loose dust.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is North Fort Myers’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We don’t ask you to take our word on anything. Every North Fort Myers customer gets the same thing: a written price before any work begins, a live arrival window you can track from your phone, and before-and-after photos of your own vent run. That’s the Relay Standard, named for the Relay Home Co. family we’re part of, and it applies to every booking without exception.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he holds every tech to the same bar: background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the equipment they actually carry. We run Rotobrush rotary agitation systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums, not a truck-mounted shop vac with a marketing budget. When we pull lint out of your vent, it goes into a sealed HEPA filter, not back into your laundry room.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every job we do in North Fort Myers. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no pro-rated refund, no argument. We also put a written guarantee on every repair, plus a free second visit if that repair fails. That’s the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it’s why homeowners from North Fort Myers keep our number saved.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in North Fort Myers
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in North Fort Myers starts with a camera inspection of the full run, from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination. Most houses here have vents that travel through concrete block walls with at least one elbow, and that’s where lint packs tight and stays damp. We then run rotary agitation tools to break the mat loose, extract everything under negative pressure with a HEPA vacuum, and confirm the exterior termination is clear and venting properly. Standard pricing runs $149 – $249 for a typical single-story home; two-story or multi-elbow runs fall between $229 and $349.
Camera Inspection First
You can’t clean what you can’t see. We push a small camera through the entire vent run before and after cleaning so you see the actual condition, not a technician’s estimate. That matters in North Fort Myers because so many homes share the same weak point: the second elbow inside the block wall, where damp lint compresses into a dense mat.
Negative-Pressure Extraction
Here’s the trade term decoded: negative-pressure extraction means the vacuum pulls air through the vent while we agitate, so loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA filter instead of blowing back into your laundry room. It’s the difference between actually cleaning the vent and just relocating the lint.
Dryer Vent Installation in North Fort Myers
Dryer Vent Installation in North Fort Myers covers replacing old flexible foil runs with smooth rigid venting, rerouting a vent that takes too long a path, or installing a proper exterior termination cap when the old one is clogged, rusted, or missing. We also handle bird guard installation and vent cap replacement. A standard rigid vent replacement runs $189 – $329 depending on run length and access; a full reroute through block construction runs $329 – $549.
Replacing Foil With Rigid
Flexible foil is a lint trap by design: the ribs catch every particle, and in North Fort Myers humidity, those particles stick and build. We recommend replacing foil with smooth rigid venting. The airflow improves immediately, lint has nowhere to grip, and the run meets the same modern code we’d want in our own homes.
When Rerouting Makes Sense
Some North Fort Myers homes have vents that travel 20 to 30 feet with three or more elbows, which means the dryer works harder to push air out. If your drying times keep creeping up and the vent is older, a shorter, smoother run may solve the problem permanently. We’ll show you the route and agree on the price in writing before cutting begins.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Fort Myers
We work with everything from Kenmore, Whirlpool, LG, and Samsung dryers to the venting materials and filtration brands we carry on the van. For North Fort Myers jobs we stock Guardsman exterior terminations and bird guards, plus rigid vent sections and caps sized for block-wall penetrations. Parts arrive with the tech, not three days later. If your vent cap is cracked or clogged, we typically replace it on the same visit using inventory from our local stock, which keeps turnaround fast and means you’re not waiting on a second appointment.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in North Fort Myers Homes
- Damp lint mats at the elbows. The humid subtropical air keeps lint from blowing clear. Instead, it packs against the first and second elbows inside the block wall, and it has to be physically broken up, not vacuumed from the outside.
- Foil runs that should have been replaced years ago. Homes built in the 1970s and 80s often still have their original flexible venting. It’s a lint trap by design, and in North Fort Myers it’s usually the reason drying times double.
- Exterior terminations clogged or missing. Birds, wasps, and years of weather take a toll on the cap outside. A blocked termination backs up the entire run, no matter how clean the first few feet look.
- Long runs through block walls. The distance and the material matter. A 25-foot run through concrete block with three elbows cannot be effectively cleaned with a quick blast from outside. It needs agitation tools and a camera to confirm the result.
Our tech was out on a job off Bayshore Road in North Fort Myers where the homeowner’s dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load and the laundry room smelled warm and sweet. We pulled the flexible foil run, found a damp mat of lint packed at the second elbow in the block wall, ran agitation tools and a HEPA vacuum under negative pressure, then reinstalled a smooth rigid run with a proper exterior termination and showed the homeowner before-and-after photographs of the lint build-up before we left.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Fort Myers
Every 12 to 18 months for most North Fort Myers homes. If you have a long run through an exterior block wall or a flexible foil vent, lean toward 12 months. The humid air here keeps lint damp, and damp lint packs faster than dry dust. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you an honest recommendation based on your vent, not a calendar.
One flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. We don’t quote a low per-vent number on the phone and then add for elbows, length, or a second story once the tech is inside. You’ll see the full price before any work begins, and it does not change at the door.
Camera inspection of the full run, rotary agitation to break up packed lint, negative-pressure HEPA extraction, and confirmation of the exterior termination. The lint trap catches maybe 25% of what passes through. The rest is in the elbows and the vent wall, and that’s what we clean.
Yes. We specialize in all three: air duct cleaning, HVAC cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning. If you want both done, we’ll quote one combined price in writing. Many North Fort Myers homeowners bundle the two because the equipment and the access are already set up.
If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load, the laundry room feels warm and humid after a cycle, or you can’t remember the last cleaning, call us. Those are the same warning signs we see before we pull packed lint from elbows in North Fort Myers block walls. Lint is combustible. A clogged vent is the leading cause of dryer fires, and this is the cheapest insurance you can buy for a home. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll inspect yours.
