Dryer Vent Cleaning
in Austin, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Austin, TX: the full run from the dryer to the outside cap, not just the first three feet. From $165 standard, from $275 for a run that has never been cleared, inspection free.
Why Austin Homes
Need a Dryer Vent Cleaning
City housing puts laundry rooms in the middle of the floor plan, so runs are long and often shared with a wall cavity nobody wants opened. That is exactly where lint accumulates out of sight.
In the older stock we also find the original metal pipe crushed behind a machine that has been pushed back too far. We photograph it rather than describe it, because a crushed run is a repair and not a cleaning.
In Austin that shows up across older central neighbourhoods with retrofitted systems and post-war ranch houses in the north and south alike.
Our Austin
Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
Every visit starts with the free inspection. You see the photographs before you see a price, and the price is written down before anything is touched.
Photographs of both ends
Before and after at the machine and at the termination, so the difference is a picture and not a claim.
Camera down the line where it earns its place
On a long or suspect run the camera goes in first, so the quote is based on what is actually in the pipe rather than on how the outside looks.
Check the transition hose
The flexible piece behind the machine crushes when the dryer is pushed back. It is the cheapest part of the whole system and the one most often kinked.
Look at the lint trap housing
Lint that gets past the screen collects in the housing under it. Clearing the duct and leaving that full only buys you a few months.
Measure the run first
How long it is, how many bends, where it terminates and what the cap is. That decides whether this is a standard clean or a deep one, and we tell you before we start.
Open both ends
The dryer is pulled out and disconnected, and the outside hood is opened. Cleaning from one end only is why lint comes back in a month.
What a Dryer Vent Cleaning
Costs in Austin
From $165, deep clean from $275
The standard clean covers the full run from the dryer to the outside cap, with the routing and the flap checked and before-and-after photographs. Long, blocked or never-cleared runs get the deep clean from $275, with a camera down the line.
The inspection is free and there is no call-out fee. If the honest answer is that nothing needs doing, you get that in writing and pay nothing.

What We Find in
Austin Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Austin inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
Odors From the Vents at Start-Up
A musty or stale smell for the first minute of a cycle usually lives on the coil or in the return, not in the room. We photograph it.
Unsealed Can Lights and Ceiling Penetrations
Every unsealed fixture is a hole between the house and the attic. We seal them while the insulation is open rather than blowing over the top of them.
A Return Pulling Air From the Attic
An unsealed return plenum draws hot attic air and everything in it straight past the filter. Sealing it is usually cheaper than cleaning the system twice a year.
Flex Duct Gone Brittle at the Joints
Old flex tears where it is banded and cannot be cleaned back into service. We photograph the tear and price the repair as its own line.
Disconnected or Crushed Attic Ducts
A supply line blowing into the attic or a flattened flex run behind the water heater. Found on the inspection, sealed or replaced on the spot.
Dust That Comes Back a Week After Cleaning
Grey fuzz on the registers and the furniture again. The supply lines and the return plenum are holding what the filter never caught.

in Austin
Things Austin homeowners ask about that have nothing to do with the work itself, and everything to do with selling, insuring or getting an association form approved.
Flex duct that has torn or been crushed
A torn run cannot be cleaned back into service. We photograph it and price the replacement separately so nothing is sold twice.
Attics that people have worked in
Solar, cabling and insulation crews all walk attics. Crushed runs behind a water heater are common and easy to miss from the register.
Traffic and access
We book an early window for Austin so the crew is not spending your slot on the highway, and we check parking and attic access before the visit.
Selling the house
The inspection report a buyer orders has separate lines for the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust, and the duct system gets looked at along with the equipment. A written report with photos before you list keeps all of that out of the negotiation.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin
Questions
How long does it take?
A standard run is under an hour. A deep clean on a long or blocked line takes longer because both ends come off and the camera goes in.
Will you move the dryer?
Yes. The machine comes out, the line is cleared from the back of it, and it goes back with a proper clamp rather than tape.
What if the vent needs rerouting?
That is a repair, not a cleaning, and it gets its own written line with photographs. Roof type and run length decide the price and both are measured before you are quoted.
How much is dryer vent cleaning in Austin?
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Austin starts at $165. If the run is long, has several bends, is blocked or has never been cleared, the deep clean starts at $275 and includes a camera run down the line. Which one you need is decided on the free inspection, not on the phone.
How do I know the vent needs cleaning?
Clothes take two cycles, the top of the dryer runs hot, the laundry room smells warm, or the flap outside barely moves when the dryer runs. Any one of those is enough of a reason to look.
Do you serve all of Austin?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. Austin is forty-eight miles from the office by TX 71 and US 281, about an hour depending on traffic. We plan Austin work around the traffic rather than against it, which usually means an early window.
Can you do this on the same visit as the ducts?
Yes, and most people do. The same crew handles ducts, dryer vents, chimneys and attic insulation, so it is one trip to Austin and one written quote.
