Dryer Vent Cleaning
in Dripping Springs, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Dripping Springs, 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 Dripping Springs Homes
Need a Dryer Vent Cleaning
Larger Hill Country houses put the laundry wherever the plan allowed, which usually means a long run and a roof termination. Long plus vertical is the combination that traps lint fastest.
A roof cap also collects cedar debris from above. We check what is sitting on top of the cap as well as what is inside the line, because half the restriction is often outside the pipe.
In Dripping Springs that shows up across homes on acreage and custom-built residential properties alike.
Our Dripping Springs
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.
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.
Brush and air the whole line
A rotating brush the diameter of the duct, driven the full length, with air pushing the debris out of the termination rather than into the room.
Check the flap and the hood
A flap that does not open is as bad as a blocked line. We show you whether it moves and whether the screen behind it is the wrong kind.
Reconnect and test
The dryer goes back with a proper clamp, a run is started and the airflow at the cap is checked with you standing there.

What We Find in
Dripping Springs Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Dripping Springs inspections. If one of them sounds like your house, the inspection is free and the fix is priced in writing.
Thin or Uneven Attic Insulation
Bare spots, settled blown-in and unsealed can lights are the reason upstairs rooms never cool. We measure the depth on every attic visit.
Lint Packed in the Dryer Vent
Clothes take two cycles, the top of the dryer runs hot and the outside flap barely opens. That run gets cleared from the dryer to the cap.
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.
Creosote and Cracked Flue Tiles
A fireplace that smokes back or has not been swept in years. We sweep, inspect and photograph the flue before the first cold front.
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.
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.

BeforeAfterLocal Rules and Paperwork
in Dripping Springs
Things Dripping Springs 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.
Selling in Hays County
The TREC inspection report has its own lines for the fireplace, the flue and the dryer exhaust. On a house with a wood-burning fireplace that gets used, a pre-listing sweep with photos is the cheapest item on the list to clear.
Propane gas logs
Outside the gas mains most fireplaces here run on propane from a yard tank. Those need the same annual look as natural gas, and the parts the inspection covers are the flue, the screen, the burner and the pilot assembly, not the log set.
Wells, septic and rainwater collection
None of that touches the ducts, but it does mean the house has systems a general inspector will flag. We stay in our lane, photograph what we find in the air path and say plainly when something is outside our work.
HOA approval in Belterra, Headwaters and Caliterra
Anything visible from the street, a new cap or a vent hood included, goes through architectural review first. We hand you the spec and a photo for the form.
Getting to Dripping Springs
From Marble Falls
We come down US-281 south to Johnson City and take US-290 east into Dripping Springs, roughly 55 miles and an hour. Johnson City, Blanco and Wimberley sit on the same run, so a Dripping Springs booking often shares a day with one of them, and the crew carries the extra hose length for acreage properties as a matter of course.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dripping Springs
Questions
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.
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
Once a year for a normal household, more often with a long run, a family that does laundry daily, or a house with pets. We measure the run and tell you what interval it actually needs.
Is a blocked dryer vent really a fire risk?
It is the most common laundry-room fire cause there is. Lint is fuel, the dryer element is heat, and a blocked line holds both together. It is also the cheapest thing on our price list to fix.
Do you clean the vent from the roof?
Where the run terminates on the roof, yes, and we say so in the quote because roof type changes the work. Tile and metal roofs need more care and that is written down before we go up.
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.
Do you serve all of Dripping Springs?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. We come down US-281 south to Johnson City and take US-290 east into Dripping Springs, roughly 55 miles and an hour. Johnson City, Blanco and Wimberley sit on the same run, so a Dripping Springs booking often shares a day with one of them, and the crew carries the extra hose length for acreage properties as a matter of course.
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 Dripping Springs and one written quote.
