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 Pecan Grove
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Pecan Grove typically runs $129 – $229 depending on the length and configuration of your vent run. Most jobs are completed in 60 – 90 minutes, and you’ll receive before-and-after photos of your own vent before we leave the driveway. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a load or the laundry room feels warm while the dryer runs, call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk you through what’s likely happening inside that vent.
Pecan Grove homes aren’t like the rest of the Houston suburbs. Many were built with long, multi-elbow dryer vent runs that climb through two stories and terminate at the roofline. That’s a very different animal from the short, straight wall vent common in newer subdivisions nearby. We know exactly what those extended runs look like from the inside, because we’ve camera-inspected hundreds of them in this community. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team brings Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA vacuums to every job here, not a truck-mounted shop vac.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Pecan Grove’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and every Cardinal location is held to the Relay Visibility Guarantee. For you, that means a live, trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo proof of the work, and a written price handed to you before any tool comes off the truck. The price we quote is the price you pay. No per-vent add-ons, no surprise charges when the technician discovers your vent terminates two stories up.
Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and you’ll know their name before they ring the bell. We answer the phone with a live person around the clock, so if you’re doing laundry at 6:30 a.m. and the dryer won’t cooperate, you won’t hit a voicemail loop. Omar Haddad leads our team, and he holds every job in Pecan Grove to a single standard: if it isn’t done right within 365 days, we come back and correct it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it covers every booking without exception.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Pecan Grove
Dryer Vent Inspection in Pecan Grove is a camera-based evaluation of the entire lint pathway, from the dryer connection at the wall through every elbow and vertical run to the exterior termination point. In homes around The Orchard at Pecan Grove, Harvest Green, and parts of the 77406 zip code, we regularly find lint packed at the third elbow of a two-story vertical run, where a standard trap-level vacuum never reaches. An inspection runs $79 – $129 as a standalone service, and it’s credited back to you when you proceed with a full cleaning on the same visit.
The difference between a visual peek and a proper camera inspection matters in this community. If your vent terminates at the roofline, you cannot see the failure points from the ground. A camera shows exactly where lint is collecting, whether any joint has separated, and whether the run is even the right diameter for your dryer’s airflow.
When to Schedule One
If your dryer has never been inspected since you moved in, or if the vent run goes up through the second story, you’re overdue. We also recommend an inspection before you list your Pecan Grove home for sale, because a clogged dryer vent is one of the most common findings on home inspection reports in this area.
What You Receive
You get dated photographs of the inside of your vent, a plain-language summary of what we found, and a written quote if work is needed. No scare tactics. Just a clear picture of the actual condition.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pecan Grove
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pecan Grove serves the laundry operations at salons, veterinary clinics, fitness facilities, and small multi-tenant properties along Highway 90 and FM 359. Commercial dryers move a lot more air and generate a lot more lint than residential units, and code requirements for commercial vent runs are stricter. A commercial cleaning in this area typically runs $250 – $550 depending on the length of the run, the number of dryers, and the access points involved.
We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, removing lint by source removal, not just blowing air through. That means agitation tools break the lint free, and a HEPA-filtered vacuum pulls it out under negative pressure so it does not re-enter the building.
Documentation for Property Managers
We provide written proof of cleaning with before-and-after photos for every commercial job, which is what your insurance and facility records want. The written quote is delivered before work begins, so you can approve the number with a clear head.
Repeated Schedule Options
Businesses with daily dryer use benefit from a scheduled maintenance program. We’ll set a cleaning cadence based on the actual load volume, then call you when it’s time. No guesswork on your side.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pecan Grove
We work on dryer vents connected to every major dryer brand you’ll find in Pecan Grove homes: LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Electrolux, and Speed Queen. More important than the dryer itself is the equipment we bring to the vent. Our technicians run Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units. That equipment matters on long Pecan Grove runs where a shop vac attachment simply cannot reach the packed lint at a third elbow. We carry common cap replacements, bird guards, and foil transition hoses on the truck, so most vent cap replacements and bird guard installations are completed on the first visit without a second trip back to a supply house.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Pecan Grove Homes
- Lint packed at mid-run elbows. Homes with two-story vertical runs hide lint at the second and third elbows, far beyond the reach of a standard vacuum. We find this on nearly every multi-elbow run we inspect. The fix is agitation under negative pressure, not more air.
- Birds and rodents nesting at the roof cap. Warm air from the vent attracts birds, and once a nest starts, the blockage accelerates quickly. A bird guard installed at the cap stops the cycle without restricting airflow when it’s sized correctly.
- Crushed or kinked transition hoses behind the dryer. The flexible foil hose behind the dryer is often bent too sharply or crushed against the wall, cutting airflow in half before the vent run even starts. We replace these with a proper rigid elbow when the space allows.
- Dryers still scoring normal cycles on a timer while pushing zero airflow past a blockage. Many dryers will happily run a full cycle while the vent is completely clogged. That’s why “the dryer still seems fine” is not a reliable indicator of vent health.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pecan Grove, TX
A standard single-family dryer vent cleaning in Pecan Grove runs $129 – $229 for most homes. The exact number depends on the length of the run, how many elbows are in it, and where it terminates. A roof-terminating two-story run costs more than a short wall vent because it requires roof access equipment and more time. Standalone camera inspections run $79 – $129, credited back if you clean the same day. Bird guard installation and vent cap replacement are quoted separately based on the cap style and roof access. Every quote is a written flat price per system, agreed before we start. No per-vent pricing, no per-elbow surprises. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate on your specific home.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pecan Grove
Most Pecan Grove homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12 – 18 months. Homes with long rooftop runs, multi-elbow chases, or large families doing daily laundry should lean toward the 12-month side. If we clean your vent and document its exact condition, we’ll tell you honestly whether you can stretch it longer. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll talk through your specific setup.
A camera inspection shows what is actually inside your vent run, not just what’s visible at the wall or the exterior cap. In Pecan Grove, where many vents climb two stories to a rooftop cap, the failure points are invisible from the ground. The camera finds packed lint at mid-run elbows, separated joints, and bird nests before they become a fire risk. It’s the difference between cleaning blind and cleaning with proof.
We charge one flat price per system, agreed before any work starts. There is no per-vent add-on and no per-elbow charge. If your Pecan Grove home has a long rooftop run, the quote reflects that from the beginning. The written price we hand you is the price on your invoice. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free, written estimate.
Yes. Every dryer vent cleaning in Pecan Grove includes before-and-after photographs of your own vent, taken at the points that matter: the wall connection, any visible elbows, and the exterior termination cap. You’ll see exactly what we pulled out and what the run looks like afterward. That’s part of the Relay Visibility Guarantee, not an upsell.
No. A clogged dryer vent can be completely blocked while the dryer still runs a full cycle, because the dryer’s timer doesn’t know the air isn’t moving. The heat builds up inside the drum and the vent, which is exactly the condition that leads to dryer fires. If your drying time has crept up quietly, that’s the vent telling you something. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you figure it out over the phone.
