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.

We know Renton’s housing stock. We’re in and out of Kennydale, the Renton Highlands, Fairwood, Cascade, and the neighborhoods around Benson Hill every week. If your dryer run snakes through a garage or crawlspace in a 1970s split-level, we’ve seen it before and we know what to look for. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team runs professional-grade equipment, not a shop vac, and you’ll know your technician’s name before the door opens.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Renton’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Renton homeowners call us because we show up with a written price, do the work, and hand you photo proof of the run before we leave. No bait-and-switch, no invented upsells. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s not a limited-time offer. It’s how every booking works.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they carry Rotobrush rotary brush systems with Nikro HEPA vacuums. That matters in Renton because so many homes here have long, semi-rigid flexible ducts that hold lint deep beyond the trap. A quick exterior hood vacuum won’t clear those. We use negative pressure extraction – meaning loosened debris goes straight into the sealed vacuum, not back into your laundry room.
Part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, we’re held to The Relay Standard: a live arrival window you can track on your phone, before-and-after photos, and a digital invoice payable by link. You get a written price before a single tool comes off the truck. It does not change at the door.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Renton
A Dryer Vent Inspection in Renton is a camera-based look at the entire run, from the dryer connection to the exterior hood, and it costs $79 – $129 as a standalone service. It’s the right call when a dryer starts taking two cycles to dry a load, when you smell a musty or burning odor near the dryer, or when you’ve just bought an older Renton home and don’t know what’s inside the vent line. We run a flexible camera through the duct, show you the footage in real time, and tell you honestly whether cleaning is needed or whether the run is still clear.
When Renton Homes Need It
Mid-century and 1970s-era Renton homes often have dryer runs that bend through unconditioned crawlspaces or garages. Those long runs collect lint differently than a short straight pipe out the back of a newer house. An inspection catches packing before it becomes a fire risk or a dryer motor failure.
Camera Verification After Cleaning
Every cleaning ends with a second camera pass through the run. You see the before and after with your own eyes, on your phone, before we leave the driveway. No guessing whether the vent is actually clear.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Renton
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Renton covers multi-family buildings, laundromats, assisted living facilities, and any property with shared laundry rooms or stacked dryers. Pricing runs $199 – $499 per dryer run depending on access, run length, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Larger buildings with multiple drops get a per-property flat quote after a walkthrough, always in writing before we start.
Multi-Family Properties
In Renton apartment buildings and condo associations, dryer vents in upper-floor units often run 20 to 40 feet before exiting through the roof or sidewall. Those runs are shared fire risks. We schedule whole-building cleanings, document every run with labeled photos, and provide the property manager with a complete record for compliance. Our HEPA filtration units keep lint inside the vacuum, not drifting into common areas or tenants’ units.
Shared Laundry Rooms
Coin-op and shared laundry rooms in Renton run dryers hard, sometimes 10 to 15 cycles a day. Lint builds fast. A quarterly or semi-annual cleaning schedule keeps runs clear, dryers efficient, and gas or electric consumption lower. We’ll set up a recurring schedule with a flat per-visit price so there’s no re-quoting every time.
Trusted Brands We Service in Renton
We clean dryer vents for every major brand Renton homeowners run: Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Electrolux, Speed Queen, and Kenmore. For commercial accounts, we regularly service Huebsch, Maytag Commercial, Dexter, and Speed Queen stacks. We also install and replace Aprilaire and Honeywell filtration components when a home’s HVAC or dryer setup calls for our HVAC Cleaning in Renton. Need a vent cap swapped on a roof-vented run in the Renton Highlands? We carry common sizes and parts on the truck, so most replacements happen the same visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Renton Homes
- Long semi-rigid runs through crawlspaces. Renton’s 1970s and 1980s splits and ramblers often have flexible duct that runs 20 feet or more before exiting. Lint packs into the low points, and a standard trap cleaning never touches it.
- Roof-vented runs with bird or rodent nesting. Wet, cool Renton weather pushes birds and rodents toward warm exhaust hoods. We pull nests out of exterior hoods regularly in Fairwood and the Highlands, then install bird guards to keep them out.
- Dryers taking two cycles to dry. This is the number one symptom Renton homeowners call about. It’s almost never the dryer. It’s a restricted vent run starving the appliance of airflow.
- Crushed or kinked flexible duct behind the wall. In older Renton homes, foil duct gets bent during renovations or appliance changes. Crushed sections trap lint even in a short run. Our camera inspection finds them fast.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Renton, WA
A standard Dryer Vent Cleaning in Renton runs $149 – $289 for a single-family home. That’s one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start, based on run length, access, and vent type. A two-story home with a roof-vented run costs more than a single-story with a short sidewall exhaust because we need roof access and more line. Commercial and multi-family runs run $199 – $499 per dryer. We do not quote per vent or per foot and then change the number once we’re inside. You’ll know your price before the work begins.
