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 Selma
Dryer vent cleaning in Selma typically runs $149 – $289 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in 60 – 90 minutes once we arrive. That price covers the full lint pathway, not just the trap or the first few feet of pipe. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and we’ve cleaned hundreds of dryer vents throughout Selma’s older downtown blocks, the neighborhoods off Floral Avenue, and the newer builds near the high school. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Selma’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Homeowners along High Street, Rose Avenue, and the blocks around Lincoln Elementary call us because we show up with a written price, a live trackable arrival time, and the right equipment. That’s The Relay Standard, and it applies to every booking we take in Selma. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums, so debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room. No truck-mounted shop-vac shortcuts.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and his name is on the work. Every dryer vent job includes a camera inspection of the full lint pathway before we quote anything, because Selma’s older homes hide blockages in wall cavities where you can’t see them. We’re not the cheapest option in Selma, and we won’t pretend to be. We’re the one that puts the price in writing and stands behind it with the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge.
When you call, a live person answers. When we book, you get a trackable arrival window. When we finish, you get before-and-after photos of your own vent. That’s how Dryer Vent Cleaning should work in Selma.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Selma
A Dryer Vent Inspection in Selma is a camera-and-airflow evaluation of the entire lint pathway, from the back of the dryer to the termination hood outside. We run a specialized camera down the full run, measure static pressure with a manometer, and check every elbow, seam, and connection point. Then we photograph what we find, show it to you on our tablet, and hand you a written price before a single tool touches the vent.
What the camera sees
We’re looking for lint matting, crushed or disconnected elbows, gaps at the wall penetration, bird or rodent debris, and termination hoods that no longer close. Long runs through uninsulated exterior walls are common in Selma’s older housing stock, and cold sheet metal makes lint cling hard. That’s where blockages start before you ever notice a problem at the trap.
Inspection-only pricing
If you want the inspection alone without a full clean, it runs $79 – $129 in Selma. The full clean including inspection starts at $149. Most Selma homeowners take the full clean, because once the camera is in, we almost always find lint worth removing. And if the camera shows a genuinely clear vent, we tell you that honestly and don’t push the clean.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma serves laundromats, apartment complexes, salons, gyms, and any building with multi-dryer setups along Whitson Street, Floral Avenue, and the commercial corridors near Highway 99. Multi-unit dryer systems accumulate lint faster than residential vents because they cycle constantly, and in Selma’s summer heat, neglected runs become a real fire load. We schedule recurring quarterly or bi-annual cleanings for property managers who need documentation for insurance and fire code compliance.
Documentation you can file
Every commercial job includes a full written report with before-and-after photos, airflow readings at each dryer, and a dated service record. Property managers in Selma use this documentation for annual fire inspections and insurance renewals. We also flag replacement needs early, like worn caps or sagging flexible sections, so you’re not surprised mid-season.
Flat per-system commercial pricing
Commercial dryer vent cleaning in Selma starts at $199 per dryer for a typical apartment complex or laundromat setup, with multi-unit pricing capped per system rather than per vent. We don’t charge by the vent, and we don’t tack on surprise line items once we’re already on the roof. The written quote you approve before we start is the price you pay.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
We clean and maintain dryer vents on every major appliance brand found in Selma homes, including Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, and Speed Queen. We also stock replacement termination hoods, backdraft dampers, and Guardsman-style caps locally, so when a vent cap replacement is part of the job, there’s no second trip and no waiting on a warehouse order. We carry Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration products for customers who want to upgrade their indoor air while we’re already on site. Whatever dryer you run in your Selma home, the vent behind it is the same animal, and we service it completely.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Long runs through cold exterior walls: Many homes near downtown Selma and the older blocks around Rose Avenue have dryer vents that travel through uninsulated wall cavities. The sheet metal stays cold in winter, lint condenses and clings, and the run clogs months before the trap shows it.
- Crushed elbows at the wall penetration: When a dryer is pushed tight against the wall, the flexible section behind it folds like a garden hose. We find this in Selma laundry rooms all the time, especially in closets and small utility alcoves where space is tight.
- Plastic or foil duct behind the dryer: Pre-2000s Selma homes often have foil or white plastic transition duct, not rigid metal. These materials trap lint fast, and plastic is a fire hazard. We replace with rigid or semi-rigid metal as needed.
- Bird or rodent nests at the termination: Selma’s almond orchards and open fields mean birds and field mice find exterior vents attractive. A missing flapper is an open invitation. We install proper backdraft dampers and bird guards on nearly every older Selma home we service.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma, CA
A standard single-family dryer vent clean in Selma runs $149 – $289.

If your run is unusually long, buried in a wall, or has never been cleaned, the price may push toward the top of that range, but we tell you exactly why before a tool comes off the truck.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Every 12 to 18 months for most Selma homes. If your vent runs through an uninsulated exterior wall, like many older homes near downtown Selma and Whitson Street, lint condenses on cold metal and blockages form faster, so aim closer to 12 months. Homes with long runs over 15 feet or multiple elbows should also lean annual. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll assess your specific setup, often with a camera inspection on the first visit.
Flat per system, always. A standard dryer vent clean in Selma is one price, $149 – $289 for the whole run, regardless of elbows, length within reason, or how much lint we pull out. We don’t charge per vent, and we don’t quote a low teaser figure that turns into a pile of add-ons. The written price you approve before we begin is the final invoice.
Yes, and many Selma homeowners combine them into a single visit. If your home’s supply ducts are being cleaned, we can clean the dryer vent during the same appointment for a combined flat per-system price, each system priced separately and transparently in writing before we start. This is common when a growing family, recent renovation, or years of skipped maintenance call for a full reset of the indoor air system. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a bundled quote.
An inspection checks the entire lint pathway from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination hood, using a camera, airflow measurement, and visual checks of every connection. We look for lint buildup, crushed elbows, disconnected joints, bird or rodent debris, and flappers that no longer seal. We photograph what we find and show you every image before recommending any work. It’s part of every full clean, or you can book it standalone for $79 – $129.
No, we don’t promise same-day service, and we won’t claim it. We schedule Selma jobs by route efficiency and your availability, and our live trackable arrival window means you’ll know exactly when we’re coming, with the technician’s name and photo before we arrive. What we do deliver is a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your vent. That’s The Relay Standard, and it’s better than rushing a job. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule.
