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 Sunrise
Dryer vent cleaning in Sunrise, FL typically costs $129 – $249 for a standard single-family home and takes about 60 – 90 minutes from setup to before-and-after photos. Most of the homes we service in Sunrise were built between the 1970s and 2000s, and whether you’re off Nob Hill Road, in Sawgrass Estates, or near the Sawgrass Mills area, our techs know the vent layouts common here. That local knowledge is why Sunrise homeowners call us when their dryer takes two cycles to dry a load, or when the laundry room feels humid and the outside vent flap isn’t opening. We’re backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right, we come back. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written price before any work begins.
Key Takeaways
- Dryer vent cleaning in Sunrise runs $129 – $249 for a typical home, with a written price before we start.
- We inspect with a camera, not just a quick look at the outside flap. Sunrise’s long PVC runs hide lint where you can’t see it.
- Every job includes before-and-after photos of your actual duct interior.
- We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every booking follows The Relay Standard: live trackable arrival, photo proof, and a digital invoice.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Sunrise’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Sunrise homeowners tend to be practical. They want to know who’s showing up, what it costs, and whether the work actually got done. That’s exactly how we operate. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform with professional-grade equipment, not a truck-mounted shop vac. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation and Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for extraction, so loosened lint goes into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up around the clock, not a voicemail loop. That matters when you’ve got a dryer that won’t dry and a weekend full of laundry. Scheduling is coordinated from our South Florida dispatch office, and crews serve Sunrise directly. You’ll get a live arrival window you can track from your phone, a written price before anything gets touched, and a digital invoice you can pay by link when we’re done.
Omar Haddad leads the team, and the standard he holds is simple: total visibility from booking to invoice. No vague estimates. No surprise line items. No wondering whether the tech actually cleaned anything. You see the duct interior with your own eyes before we pack up.
Dryer Vent Installation in Sunrise
Dryer vent installation in Sunrise typically runs $180 – $420, depending on the run length, the number of elbows, and whether we’re replacing rigid metal duct or correcting a code issue with PVC termination. Sunrise’s master-planned communities, particularly older sections of Sawgrass Estates and communities off Sunrise Lakes Boulevard, often have longer dryer runs than the short, straight setups found in older coastal cities. That length matters. You’re looking at more joints, more potential kinks, and more places for lint to gather where you can’t see it.
Rigid Metal Replacement
Flexible foil transition ducts are common in Sunrise homes and they fail often. They crush behind the dryer, snag at elbows, and trap lint by the fistful. We replace them with rigid metal where code allows, and we use sealing tape rated for venting, not duct tape. The difference in airflow is immediate.
Exterior Vent Cap and Bird Guard Installation
Birds and rodents love a warm, unguarded dryer vent in Sunrise. We install bird guards that keep nesting out without restricting airflow, and we replace vent caps when the old one no longer opens fully. A stuck flapper is a lint trap waiting to happen.
Dryer Vent Repair in Sunrise
Dryer vent repair in Sunrise runs $95 – $250, and the most common fix is a crushed or disconnected transition duct behind the dryer. If your dryer was just delivered or you moved a stacked unit recently, that’s the likely culprit. We pull the dryer out carefully, inspect the entire pathway with a camera, and repair what’s broken rather than pushing you into a replacement you don’t need.
Crushed or Disconnected Transition Duct
A dryer pushed too far back crushes the flexible foil behind it, choking airflow to maybe 30 percent of what it should be. A camera inspection shows it in seconds. We repair or replace it the same visit and document the fix with photos.
Loose or Improperly Sealed Joints
Over years, vibration loosens joints and foil tape peels. Warm, moist air leaks into the wall cavity or laundry room. We reseal joints with rated metal tape and ensure the vent pulls full negative pressure with our Nikro HEPA extraction unit before we finish.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
Most Sunrise homes have a dryer from one of a handful of brands, and we service all of them: LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Electrolux, and Speed Queen. The vent behind them gets less attention than the dryer itself, which is exactly the problem. We stock common vent components locally for Sunrise jobs, which means faster turnaround on caps, bird guards, and transition ducts. The tools we carry are professional-grade: Rotobrush brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA vacuums for containment and extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units for jobs where dust control matters. That’s not marketing language, it’s the equipment that separates real source removal from a quick vacuum at the wall.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Long 2-inch PVC runs that look clear from outside but aren’t. Sunrise is one of the few South Florida cities where master-planned communities built by Coral Ridge Properties and G.L. Homes cluster long dryer runs toward outside walls with 2-inch PVC. Lint hides behind elbows where a quick glance at the vent cap shows nothing wrong.
- Crushed foil transition ducts behind newer dryer installations. We see this constantly in Sunrise. The delivery crew pushes the dryer into place, the foil accordion collapses behind it, and the homeowner lives with a dryer that takes two hours per load for months before calling.
- Dryer sheet residue binding with lint into a felt-like mat. Dryer sheets leave a waxy residue that glues lint together. In Sunrise’s humidity, that mat hardens inside the run. A brush or vacuum alone won’t pull it. It takes agitation plus negative-pressure extraction.
- Bird and rodent nests in exterior terminations. Warm exhaust air is an invitation. We pull nests out of Sunrise vents regularly, especially in single-story homes where the vent cap sits close to landscaping.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sunrise
Most Sunrise homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 24 months, depending on laundry volume, dryer sheet use, and whether pets are in the house. Homes in Sunrise’s master-planned communities with longer PVC runs often fall closer to the 12-month mark because lint accumulates differently in those layouts. If your dryer takes more than one cycle to dry a normal load, that’s your signal. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you decide based on your specific set-up.
Our flat price covers the full dryer vent run from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination: camera inspection, source removal with Rotobrush agitation, Nikro HEPA extraction, and before-and-after photos of the duct interior. A written price is handed to you before any work begins, and it includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Any repair we perform carries a written guarantee and a free second visit if it fails.
Yes, every single job. You receive photos of your actual duct interior before we clean and after we finish. If the exterior run is on the roof or inaccessible, we use a camera scope to show the internal condition. You will never be asked to trust that the work happened. The Relay Standard requires photo documentation on every booking, and we hold to it without exception.
Lint accumulation is the leading cause of dryer fires in Sunrise, and the specific risk here is hidden buildup in those long 2-inch PVC runs common in the city’s planned communities. A vent can look clear from the outside while the real blockage sits behind an elbow 15 feet in. Annual inspection with a camera catches it before it becomes a fire hazard. Our techs are trained to flag dangerous conditions and fix them rather than just vacuum and leave.
Yes. The most common repair we perform in Sunrise during a vent cleaning is replacing a crushed or disconnected transition duct. We carry rigid and semi-rigid options on the truck, and we repair or replace it during your scheduled visit at the price we quoted. You won’t wait for a second appointment or a parts order. If the issue was caught after our cleaning, our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the return.
