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.

Dryer vent cleaning in Prosper, TX typically costs $165 – $285 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs wrap up in under two hours.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Prosper’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Homeowners across Prosper keep calling us back because we show our work. Every dryer vent cleaning includes a camera inspection before and after, so you see the lint we pulled out of your own run, not a stock photo from someone else’s house. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and their name is sent to your phone before they pull into the driveway.
Prosper has grown fast north of US 380, and with that growth came a wave of builder-installed dryer vents that were never quite right. We know the long attic runs in Whitley Place, the flex-foil duct still hiding in older sections of Windsong Ranch, and the wall-vent setups common in Star Trail. That local familiarity means we arrive knowing what we’re likely to find, which keeps the job moving.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he set one rule from the start: a written price before any work begins, and it does not change at the door. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job we do in Prosper. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and make it right at no charge.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Prosper
Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning is the Dryer Vent Cleaning Company Prosper homeowners call when they want the job done without a bait-and-switch price tag. We run professional-grade Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuum extraction, which means the loosened lint goes straight into a sealed vacuum, not back into your laundry room. No per-vent pricing. No per-foot games. One flat price per system, agreed before we touch anything.
Most dryer vent cleanings in Prosper run $165 – $285 depending on run length and accessibility. That includes the camera inspection, the brush work through the full run to the termination hood, and before-and-after photos you can keep.
What a full cleaning actually covers
We start at the dryer, disconnect the transition hose, and brush the entire vent run from the laundry wall to the exterior hood. Then we run the camera through to confirm the run is clear end to end. Finally, we reattach everything, test airflow at the hood, and leave the work area clean.
When a Prosper homeowner actually needs this
If your clothes take longer than 45 minutes to dry, or the dryer feels hot to the touch on top, or you notice a burning smell when it runs, the vent needs attention now. If you haven’t had the vent cleaned since you moved in, it’s overdue.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Prosper
A Dryer Vent Inspection in Prosper is a camera-based look at the entire run, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination hood, and it’s the honest starting point we recommend before any cleaning is booked. We use it to see whether the vent is actually clogged, crushed, sagging, or full of moisture-damaged lint before quoting a cleaning. In Prosper, where many vents run through attics or across long interior walls, a visual check from the outside cannot tell you what’s happening in the middle of the run.
A standalone dryer vent inspection in Prosper typically runs $75 – $125. If you then book a cleaning, we apply that inspection fee toward the cleaning price, so you’re never paying twice to see the same vent.
Camera inspection before any work
We don’t clean blind. The camera shows us kinks, crushed foil, bird nests, or disconnects before the brush goes in. That step matters in Prosper because so many early-2000s and newer homes were built with flexible foil duct that sags over time. You will see the footage yourself on our screen.
When an inspection is the smarter first move
If your dryer has always run a little slow since day one, or you just bought a resale home in Prosper and don’t know the vent’s history, start with an inspection. It’s cheaper than a cleaning and gives you a straight answer about whether the run is actually restricted or just long.
Trusted Brands We Service in Prosper
We work on dryers and vent systems from every major manufacturer you’ll find in Prosper homes, including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, and Electrolux. We also stock common vent caps, bird guards, and rigid metal replacement duct for quick turnaround when a run needs repair. If your build has a Honeywell or Aprilaire whole-home air system, our team can coordinate dryer vent work with a broader air quality assessment so you’re not paying for two separate visits. For containment on tougher jobs, we use Abatement Technologies units, the same professional-grade equipment used in larger commercial work.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Prosper Homes
- Long attic runs gone untouched since move-in. In neighborhoods like Whitley Place and Star Trail, builders routed dryer vents up through the attic and across to a gable or soffit, creating runs of 20 feet or more with multiple elbows. Lint settles at every turn, and the homeowner never sees it because the trap looks clean.
- Flexible foil duct that’s crushed or sagging. In the older sections of Windsong Ranch and other subdivisions built before rigid metal became standard, the original flex duct has often collapsed under its own weight. That restriction makes the dryer work harder and leaves dense lint packed at the low point.
- Birds nesting in the exterior hood. Prosper’s open lots and nearby creeks bring birds that find dryer vent hoods an inviting place to build. A nest blocks airflow and traps lint inside the run, and it’s a problem that a simple outside wipe-down won’t solve.
- Dryers throwing error codes or stopping mid-cycle. Many modern dryers in Prosper homes have moisture and temperature sensors that trigger a fault code when airflow drops. The homeowner thinks the dryer is broken, but the code often clears after the vent is actually cleaned to the termination hood.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Prosper, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Prosper runs $165 – $285 for a single-family home with an accessible vent run.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Prosper
Most Prosper homes need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 24 months, depending on household size and how often the dryer runs. A family of four doing five or more loads a week should lean toward yearly. The honest answer is some vents can go two years without a real restriction, but if your dryer has never been cleaned since you moved in, book an inspection first. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you straight whether the run is actually clogged before quoting a cleaning.
We charge one flat price per dryer vent system, not per vent and not per foot. The written price you get before work starts is the price you pay. That matters in Prosper because so many homes have long, multi-elbow runs through the attic, and a per-foot crew has every incentive to stop at the first clean section instead of clearing the termination hood. Call (737) 727-2314 for a transparent quote on your specific run length.
We disconnect the dryer, run the camera through the full vent run to document what’s there, then brush the entire run with a Rotobrush rotary system while a Nikro HEPA vacuum collects the loosened lint at the source. After the brush, we run the camera again so you see the clear run, reattach the dryer, and test airflow at the exterior hood. You get before-and-after photos of your own vent. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule.
Yes, absolutely. The lint trap only catches a fraction of what passes through, and in Prosper homes with long attic runs, the rest of that lint settles in the vent itself. A clean trap gives a false all-clear. The lint that accumulates deep in the run is what creates the fire risk, and you cannot see it from the laundry room. An inspection with our camera shows you exactly what’s back there. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Yes. We access attic runs from the termination hood or the laundry room connection, and in homes like those in Whitley Place where the run crosses the attic, our equipment is designed for exactly that. We’ve replaced crushed flex-foil runs in Prosper attics with rigid metal duct when the original install was never right. The replacement is part of the flat-price quote, not a surprise add-on. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll walk through what your home’s run looks like.
