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 Westlake
Dryer vent cleaning in Westlake typically costs $129 – $249 for a standard single-dryer home, and most jobs are completed in under two hours. If your dryer has been taking longer to dry towels, the vent hood outside isn’t opening when the machine runs, or you can smell a faint burnt edge on clothes, the lint pathway inside your wall is likely the culprit. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, and our local crews know the Westlake housing stock well enough to spot the problem fast. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Westlake’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Westlake homeowners keep calling us back for one reason: we tell them the price before we touch the vent. No per-vent charges, no per-elbow add-ons, no surprise line items after the van is parked in your driveway. The Dryer Vent Cleaning process we run in Westlake starts with a camera inspection, moves to professional-grade extraction with Nikro HEPA vacuums and Rotobrush rotary brushes, and ends with before-and-after photos of your own duct run handed to you on the spot. That’s The Relay Standard we’re held to, and it’s how every booking works.
Omar Haddad, who leads our team, insists on one thing above all: the customer sees what we see. That means when we pull lint out of a Westlake dryer vent, you get photographic proof of the before and after. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no partial warranty. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, with their names on the booking so you know exactly who’s walking through the door.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from the brand’s Dallas-Fort Worth office, while our crews serve Westlake directly. A live person answers calls 24/7, so when you call (737) 727-2314, you’re talking to a human, not a voicemail tree.
Dryer Vent Repair in Westlake
Dryer Vent Repair in Westlake often starts with a vent that isn’t moving air properly and ends with a lint pathway that’s either crushed, disconnected, or blocked behind a wall. In our experience across Westlake, the most common repair issue is a vent run that was never properly connected at the elbow joints in the first place, leaving gaps where lint spills into the wall cavity. We assess it with a camera, show you what we found, and quote one flat price to put it right.
Camera Inspection Before Every Repair
We don’t guess where the problem is. Our technicians run a camera through the full dryer vent pathway, from the back of your dryer to the exterior hood. That tells us if the airflow issue is a crushed pipe, a disconnected joint, a bird nest, or plain old lint compaction. You see the footage yourself, so the repair recommendation is never a mystery.
Written Guarantee on Every Repair
Cardinal backs every repair with a written guarantee. If that repair fails within 365 days, we’re back for a free second visit under the Done Right Promise. We don’t do verbal assurances. You get it on the invoice.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Westlake
As a dedicated Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Westlake, we see a distinct pattern in homes along the 44145 corridor. Builders in the 1980s and 1990s commonly placed laundry rooms in the interior of two-story floor plans, which means the dryer vent pipe runs long distances through walls and floors before it ever reaches the outside. That long pathway is a lint trap by design. A 14-foot run with two or three elbow turns will accumulate far more debris than the short straight-through setup you’d see in a garage laundry.
What a Standard Westlake Cleaning Includes
A typical job starts with our camera inspection, then we run a Rotobrush rotary brush through the full vent length while a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulls debris out at negative pressure. That means loosened lint goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your laundry room. Finally, we confirm airflow at the exterior hood and photograph the interior of the vent, not just the outside of the wall.
One Flat Price Per System, Agreed Before We Start
We don’t charge by the vent, by the elbow, or by the foot. You get one written price for the entire dryer vent system before a single tool is picked up. That price does not change once the technician is inside, and it covers the full run from dryer to exterior hood, no matter how many turns are in your Westlake vent pipe.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westlake
We service vents attached to every major dryer brand, and we’re comfortable working with the filtration and ventilation products Westlake homeowners already have in their homes. That includes Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration units, plus Guardsman vent kits. If your vent run includes a Guardsman kit or an Aprilaire accessory, our techs know the setup and carry matching parts for repairs and replacements. Because we maintain a local parts inventory for Westlake jobs, you’re not waiting on a shipped component. We’ll tell you during the quote if a replacement part is needed, what it costs, and whether we can pull it from our local stock that same week.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Westlake Homes
- Long interior-wall vent runs in 1980s – 2000s two-story builds. Many Westlake homes along Dover Center Road and Bradley Road were built with laundry rooms in the middle of the floor plan. The vent pipe travels far with multiple elbows, and lint packs solid well beyond what you can see from the laundry room.
- Vent hoods that never open because of caked lint. If the exterior hood flap isn’t moving when the dryer runs, airflow is already critically low. This is one of the first signs we check on Westlake calls.
- Birds nesting in exterior vent hoods. Westlake’s older vent hoods without proper bird guards are a common nesting spot for sparrows and starlings. We clear the nest during cleaning and can install a bird guard in the same visit.
- Crushed or disconnected flex pipe behind the dryer. When the dryer gets pushed back against the wall after a move or a flooring install, the semi-rigid flex pipe behind it can crush or pop off its connect. That sends hot, lint-laden air into the wall instead of outside.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westlake, TX
For a standard single-dryer home in Westlake, expect to pay between $129 and $249 for a full dryer vent cleaning. That includes the camera inspection, the complete rotary brush cleaning, HEPA extraction, and before-and-after photos of your vent run. If your vent is unusually long, buried in interior walls, or heavily compacted, the price may reach the higher end of that range, but you’ll know the exact figure before we start. The key difference with Cardinal: there’s no per-vent or per-elbow line item waiting on the invoice. One dryervent system, one flat price.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westlake
For most Westlake homes, once every 12 to 18 months is the honest answer. Homes with longer interior-wall vent runs, like the 1980s – 2000s two-story builds common along the 44145 corridor, tend to sit closer to the 12-month end of that range. If your dryer has been working harder than usual, get it inspected. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll quote you a flat price on the phone.
No. We charge one flat price per dryer vent system, no matter how many elbows, turns, or feet of pipe are involved. Per-elbow pricing is exactly the kind of surprise billing that makes people distrust duct cleaners, and it’s the opposite of how Cardinal works. Your written price is set before any work starts and it doesn’t change at the door.
We start with a camera inspection of the full vent length, from dryer to exterior hood. Then we run a Rotobrush rotary brush through the pipe while a Nikro HEPA vacuum extracts loosened lint at the source. We verify airflow at the hood, photograph your own vent run before and after, and hand you a digital copy of everything. It’s a two-part verification: airflow confirmed, photos provided.
If the dryer is drying normally, the exterior vent hood opens with every cycle, and the laundry room doesn’t smell musty or burnt, you may not need a cleaning yet. That’s rare for Westlake homes with long interior vent runs, but we’ll tell you straight if your vent is clean. We don’t upsell work you don’t need. Book an inspection at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll let the camera decide.
We don’t promise same-day service, and we’ll tell you why. A proper dryer vent cleaning with camera inspection and before-and-after photo documentation takes time to do right. Rushing it defeats the entire point. We’ll give you the next available scheduling window when you call, and you’ll get a live trackable arrival time through The Relay Standard so you know exactly when we’re coming.
