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.

If you live in Thompson’s Station, you already know the rhythm here: a mix of newer subdivisions off Columbia Pike, larger rural properties near Critz Lane, and everything in between. That mix matters for dryer vents. Longer runs, crushed flex pipe, and vents that haven’t been opened in years are things we see in this area more than homeowners expect. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning team knows how Thompson’s Station homes are built. Local familiarity means we show up with the right tools for the right vent run, whether it’s a 12-foot straight shot or a 40-foot run turning twice through an exterior wall.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Thompson’s Station’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Homeowners in Thompson’s Station keep calling us for the same reasons. We give a written price before any work starts, and that number doesn’t change when the tech is standing in your laundry room. That’s unusual in this trade, and people notice. We run a camera down the vent before we clean so we know exactly what we’re dealing with. We use Rotobrush agitation systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums, not a shop vac taped to a hose. And every job, including dryer vent cleaning, falls under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we come back and correct it at no charge.
Being part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, means every booking follows The Relay Standard: a live arrival window you can track from your phone, background-checked and uniformed technicians, and a digital invoice payable by link. You’ll know your tech’s name before they ring the bell. For Thompson’s Station residents, that visibility matters, especially when you’re letting someone into your home to work on a system that, if neglected, is a fire risk.
Dryer Vent Repair in Thompson’s Station
Dryer Vent Repair in Thompson’s Station is often the difference between a dryer that works and one that takes two cycles per load. When a vent gets crushed behind the dryer, disconnected at a joint, or blocked with hardened lint, airflow drops. The dryer runs hotter, clothes take forever, and the risk of a lint fire climbs. In Thompson’s Station’s larger rural-lot homes off roads like Thompson’s Station Road West, dryer vent runs frequently exceed the 25-foot maximum that manufacturers recommend for flex duct. Longer runs mean more joints, more turns, and more spots where something can go wrong. Repair typically runs $120 – $220 for a section of crushed or disconnected duct replacement, with the final quote written before we start.
Crushed Duct Replacement
We see crushed flex pipe often in newer and older Thompson’s Station homes alike. The dryer gets pushed back against the wall, the flexible duct kinks, and airflow drops to nearly nothing. We replace the crushed section with smooth rigid pipe where possible, which is code-friendlier and resists future crushing.
Disconnected Vent Reattachment
A duct can pull apart at a joint behind the wall or above the dryer, blowing hot, lint-laden air into your wall cavity or attic. A camera inspection finds it fast. We reconnect the run, seal the joint, and retest airflow with the dryer running.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Thompson’s Station
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Thompson’s Station should give you a flat price for the whole vent run, not a per-vent menu that balloons once the tech is inside. We clean the entire pathway, from the dryer connection to the exterior vent cap, for one price: $150 – $290 for a standard home. That price is written and handed to you before a single tool comes off the truck. If your vent is longer, second-story, or heavily packed, we’ll tell you the exact figure upfront, then you decide. No surprise add-ons.
Camera Inspection Included
Every dryer vent cleaning includes a camera inspection before and after. The before view shows us blockages, crushed sections, bird nests, or disconnected joints. The after view proves the vent is clear. You get copies of both images with your before-and-after photo documentation.
Negative-Pressure Extraction
We use negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened lint is pulled straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum rather than being blown into your laundry room. It’s the same method commercial kitchens use for exhaust systems, and it keeps the mess off your floor.
Trusted Brands We Service in Thompson’s Station
We clean and repair dryer vents regardless of the dryer brand you own: Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, Maytag, Speed Queen, you name it. We also install and maintain Guardsman vent caps and bird guards, which are common upgrades in Thompson’s Station where roof and exterior-wall vents attract starlings and sparrows. If you have an older Aprilaire or Honeywell whole-home system that shares a wall with your dryer vent, we can inspect both pathways in the same visit. For Thompson’s Station customers, it usually saves a second trip.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Thompson’s Station Homes
- Overlong runs on rural lots. Homes on larger acreage near Critz Lane or Duplex Road often push the dryer to an exterior wall far from the laundry area. Runs over 25 feet collect more lint and need more frequent cleaning.
- Crushed flex pipe behind the dryer. Tight laundry closets and stacked units in Thompson’s Station’s newer builds force the dryer against the wall, kinking the duct. This is one of the most common airflow killers we repair.
- Bird nests in the vent cap. Exterior vent caps without guards invite sparrows and starlings, especially on two-story homes. A nest can block the vent completely and force hot air back into the dryer.
- Lint-packed turns in the wall. Where a vent turns 90 degrees inside the wall, lint accumulates at the elbow. We clean these turns thoroughly, not just the straight sections a homeowner can see.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Thompson’s Station
Most Thompson’s Station homes need a dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 24 months. If your vent run is longer than 25 feet, which is common on larger lots here, aim for every 12 months. You’ll know it’s time when clothes take more than one cycle to dry or when the laundry room feels warmer than usual after a load. Call (737) 727-2314 for a camera inspection if you’re not sure whether you’re due.
No. We charge one flat price for the whole vent run, agreed in writing before we start. If a company quotes you per vent or per foot, the final number on the invoice rarely matches the number on the quote. Our $150 – $290 range covers the entire pathway from the dryer to the exterior cap.
We run a camera down the vent to see the blockage, then use a rotary brush under negative pressure to loosen and extract the lint. The vacuum pulls everything into a HEPA filter, not into your laundry room. We finish with another camera pass and hand you before-and-after photos of your own vent. The whole job typically takes under two hours.
Thompson’s Station has a real mix of housing stock: tight laundry closets in newer subdivisions and long exterior-wall runs on larger lots. Both configurations crush or clog vents faster than the average home. And because this area gets humid summers, lint that would stay dry elsewhere can mat and harden against the duct walls, reducing airflow further. Lint buildup is the leading cause of dryer-related house fires, and the fix is a $150 – $290 cleaning.
Yes. We repair crushed flex duct, reattach disconnected joints, replace damaged vent caps, and reroute vents where needed. Repair work typically runs $120 – $220 per section, and the price is written before we begin. Every repair is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, so if the fix doesn’t hold within a year, we return at no charge.
If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a load, or your laundry room smells hot after the dryer runs, call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314. We’ll give you a written flat price, a live arrival window, and before-and-after photos of your vent. That’s what an honest dryer vent cleaning in Thompson’s Station looks like.
