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 Reedley
A dryer vent cleaning in Reedley typically runs $140 – $280 for a standard single-system home, and the job usually takes 60 to 90 minutes once our technician arrives. That price includes camera inspection, full-length lint removal, and before-and-after photos of your own vent run. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and we serve Reedley homeowners with a written price before any work starts and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Reedley’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Reedley homeowners call us because we treat a dryer vent as a system, not a quick trap cleaning. The older homes along Manning Avenue and the tree-lined streets near downtown often have long vent runs with multiple elbows, and a simple vacuum at the wall won’t reach the hardened lint past the second bend. Our technicians run a camera down the full pathway, agitate the entire run with Rotobrush tools under negative pressure, and pull the debris into a Nikro HEPA vacuum. Nothing blows back into your laundry room.
Every booking comes with The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, a uniformed and background-checked technician whose name you know before they knock, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Omar Haddad leads our team, and every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That applies to every booking, no exceptions.
Dryer Vent Repair in Reedley
Dryer Vent Repair in Reedley usually means fixing what happens before or after the cleaning itself: a crushed foil transition duct, a broken vent cap, a run that slopes the wrong way and traps condensation, or a separation at a joint that’s been leaking lint into the wall cavity. In Reedley’s older housing stock, we see these issues regularly. A basic repair like replacing a crushed transition with a solid Guardsman elbow adds $45 – $90 to the cleaning job. A full vent reroute or bird guard installation runs $120 – $220 depending on the run length and attic access. Every repair comes with a written guarantee, and if a repair fails within 365 days, the second visit is free.
What We Find in Older Reedley Homes
Houses built in the 1950s and 60s around the downtown core often have foil ducts that were installed decades ago. Foil crushes easily, snags lint, and can’t be cleaned with agitation tools without tearing. We replace it with solid metal.
Vent Caps and Bird Guards
Reedley’s roof lines and eave terminations attract nesting birds. A missing or broken vent cap lets birds, rodents, and Reedley’s summer dust straight into the run. We install solid metal caps and guards that keep the pathway clear.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Reedley
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Reedley should be able to show you exactly what’s inside your vents before and after the job. Ours does. We send a camera down the full run, identify every bend and blockage, and document it. Then we clean the entire pathway: from the dryer connection, through the elbows, to the outside termination. The price you get upfront is the price you pay. No per-foot charges, no per-vent add-ons, no surprise invoice once the tech is already in your laundry room.
One Flat Price Per System
We quote one number for the whole dryer vent system, agreed before we start. $140 – $280 covers most Reedley homes. That includes the camera work, the cleaning, the before-and-after photos, and a written report of anything we found.
Photo Proof of the Work
You’ll receive before-and-after photos of your own duct run, taken with the camera we use for the inspection. You can see the lint wall we removed and the clear pathway we left. If you ever question whether the work was done, the photos answer it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Reedley
Our crews work with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, and we install filtration and ventilation components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. When a Reedley home needs a replacement vent cap, a solid metal elbow, or a new exterior termination, we carry the common sizes on the truck so the job doesn’t stall waiting on a parts run. We service all major dryer brands, and we never push a replacement part that isn’t needed. If the existing cap is sound, we clean it and tell you so.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Reedley Homes
- Long horizontal runs through uninsulated attics. Reedley summers push attic temperatures past 120°F, and lint bakes into a hard, crusted layer that a standard shop vac cannot remove. Full-length agitation is the only way to break it loose.
- Crushed foil transition ducts. These are common in homes built before the 1990s, especially behind dryers that get pushed hard against the wall. A crushed duct restricts airflow and makes drying times climb.
- Bird and rodent entry at the termination. Open or broken vent caps along the roofline invite nesting. We regularly pull nests, twigs, and droppings out of Reedley vent runs.
- Improper vent slope trapping condensation. A run that dips instead of sloping toward the outside collects moisture, which mixes with lint and hardens into a block that mimics a clog. Camera inspection identifies it fast.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Reedley
Most Reedley homes need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months. If you dry more than four loads a week, have pets, or live in an older home with a long vent run, aim for every 12 months. If your dryer still dries in one normal cycle and the vent cap opens freely when the dryer runs, you can safely wait. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you figure out if it’s actually time.
No. We charge one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. A dryer vent is one system, not a collection of vents or feet. $140 – $280 covers the full cleaning for most Reedley homes. You’ll never see a per-foot or per-vent line item from us. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free quote.
We inspect the full run with a camera, agitate the lint pathway with Rotobrush tools under negative pressure, extract everything into a Nikro HEPA vacuum, and document the before-and-after with photos. If we find a crushed section, a broken cap, or a bird nest, we show you and quote the repair separately in writing before doing it. You get a clear report and a dry vent that actually dries clothes.
We don’t promise same-day service, because half the jobs in Reedley’s older homes need a repair before the cleaning can be done right. What we do promise is a live trackable arrival window, a written price before work starts, and a job done properly the first visit. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you scheduled quickly.
Reedley summer attics regularly exceed 120°F, and that heat bakes accumulated lint into a hard, flammable crust. A clogged vent also makes the dryer run hotter and longer, which strains the heating element and increases fire risk. In cooler climates, lint stays soft and fluffy; in Reedley, it becomes a different material entirely. That’s why we use full-length agitation instead of a quick trap vacuum. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection.
