Dryer Vent Cleaning
in Lakeway, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Lakeway, 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 Lakeway 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 Lakeway that shows up across rough Hollow and Lakeway Highlands and flintrock Falls and The Hills alike.
Our Lakeway
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.

Costs in Lakeway
From $165, deep clean from $275

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
Lakeway Homes
Six things the crew photographs most often on Lakeway 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.
Cedar Pollen Held in the Return
Between December and February the pollen that got past the filter sits in the return and comes back into the room at every start-up. Cleaning does not stop what is outside, it stops the house recirculating it.
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.

BeforeAfterLocal Rules and Paperwork
in Lakeway
Things Lakeway 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 on the lake
The TREC inspection covers fireplaces, chimneys and dryer vents, and buyers of larger Lakeway homes commonly request a Level 2 chimney inspection with a camera. We provide the report and the photos.
HOA rules in Rough Hollow, The Hills and Flintrock
Exterior caps, roof penetrations and anything visible from the street need architectural review. We match finishes and supply the documentation.
Gas fireplaces
Many Lakeway homes have gas logs or sealed gas inserts rather than wood. Those still need an annual inspection of the vent and the burner; the failure mode is different from a wood fireplace but the risk is not smaller.
Insurance after a chimney fire
Texas carriers generally require a Level 2 inspection and a sweep certificate before reinstating coverage. Our owner is a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep and issues both.

Questions
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 Lakeway?
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Lakeway 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.
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 serve all of Lakeway?
Yes, the whole town and the country around it. From Marble Falls we take US-281 south to TX-71 east, then RM 620 into Lakeway, about 30 miles and 40 minutes. Bee Cave, Spicewood and the west side of Austin are on the same run, so Lakeway jobs are grouped with them.
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 Lakeway and one written quote.
