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 Dallas
Dryer vent cleaning in Dallas typically costs $180-$340 for a standard single-family home, and every CleanRun job starts with a written price before we touch a single panel. We’re familiar with the long, attic-routed vent runs that define Dallas’s slab-on-grade housing stock, from Lake Highlands ranch homes to the tract builds of Garland and Mesquite. Our crews dispatch from the Dallas-Fort Worth office and carry rigid metal duct, Guardsman vent caps, and professional-grade extraction equipment so we can reroute failed flex duct and clear hardened lint blockages in one visit. Call (469) 452-7766 for a written estimate.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Plano Is Dallas’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve served Dallas homeowners since 2013 with a simple standard: a written price before work starts, a documented photo record when we leave, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing on every job. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and we haven’t waived it once in 52,000 homes.
Our Dallas customers tend to find us after a bad experience with a coupon service - a $79 visit that ended with a $600 upsell, or a shop-vac run through the trap that left the attic duct untouched. We answer those calls with something different: Tomas Reyes built CleanRun on documented evidence, not urgency theatre. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
Dispatch and scheduling run from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, so crews reach Dallas neighborhoods without the delay of out-of-market routing. We know which Lake Highlands homes have the original 1970s foil flex duct buried under blown-in insulation, and which Preston Hollow renovations have dryers relocated to second-floor closets with runs that terminate at the roofline. That local knowledge means we arrive with the right materials and don’t burn daylight on supply runs.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Dallas
Dryer Vent Inspection
A proper inspection in Dallas means checking the entire lint pathway, not just the trap and the exterior cap. Our techs run a camera through the duct run - the full length of pipe or flex from the dryer connection to the termination point - to locate collapsed sections, separation at elbows, and lint deposits that have cured hard against hot attic walls. In Dallas’s slab-on-grade construction, that run often travels 15 to 25 feet through attic space that exceeds 140°F from May through September, so we pay particular attention to flex duct that has softened, sagged, or pulled loose from its connections. The inspection concludes with a written scope and a photo record of what the camera found, delivered before any cleaning or repair work is proposed.
Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction - a vacuum system that pulls debris from the duct interior rather than blowing it around - combined with mechanical agitation tools sized to the duct diameter. In Dallas, this matters more than in cooler markets. The attic heat bakes lint into a dense, brittle felt that a surface vacuum or brush won’t dislodge. We use Nikro and Rotobrush equipment to break that material free and extract it at the source. The job ends with airflow measurement at the exterior cap to verify the dryer is operating within manufacturer spec. Every run is photographed before and after, and those images are part of your standard job record.
Lint Removal
Lint removal in Dallas homes often means addressing the hidden accumulation behind the dryer, inside wall cavities, and at the roof or soffit termination. Homeowners who clean their trap religiously are sometimes shocked by what has built up downstream. In garages and utility closets across Oak Cliff and Richardson, we’ve found lint packed so densely at the first elbow that airflow was reduced by more than half. We remove that material mechanically and extract it with sealed vacuum systems, not shop vacs that recirculate fine particles into the living space. The work is messy by nature; we contain it.
Vent Rerouting
When the original vent run is too long, too convoluted, or terminated in a location that invites blockage, we reroute with rigid metal duct sized to the dryer’s CFM rating. This is common in Dallas slab homes where the dryer sits far from an exterior wall and the builder used foil flex duct to bridge the gap across a hot attic. Rigid metal holds its shape, resists sagging, and provides a smoother interior surface that lint can’t cling to as easily. We terminate with a Guardsman vent cap selected for the exposure - roof, wall, or soffit - and seal all joints with foil tape rated for the temperature range. Haven Standard Clause 1 applies: the written price covers the complete reroute, not a per-foot surprise.

CleanRun stocks vent caps, rigid duct, and transition fittings from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Dallas jobs, with common sizes carried on every truck. We don’t order parts after we arrive. Our equipment roster includes Nikro negative-pressure extractors and Rotobrush mechanical agitation systems - brands you can look up independently to verify specifications. For Dallas homeowners, this means the job completes in one visit, the materials match what was specified in the written scope, and there’s no gap between diagnosis and repair while we wait on a supplier.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Dallas Homes
- Baked lint blockages in attic runs. Dallas’s slab-on-grade construction forces dryer vents through attics that hit 140-160°F in summer. That ambient heat cures lint into a hard, brittle felt that a surface vacuum won’t remove. The lint pathway clogs faster than in shorter, basement-routed runs common in northern markets.
- Critter-damaged roof and soffit caps. Roof or soffit vent terminations on Dallas homes are often screened, and those screens get damaged by birds, wasps, and squirrels. We regularly find nests built inside the cap that cut airflow without the homeowner noticing until the dryer overheats or the auto-shutoff triggers.
- Collapsed original flex duct beneath attic insulation. In Garland, Mesquite, and east Dallas slab homes from the 1970s, we uncover original flex duct that has collapsed or fully separated at trunk-line connections beneath decades of blown-in insulation. It looks intact from the access hatch but has been venting conditioned air straight into a 150°F attic, sometimes for years.
- Ignored downstream sections in garage and closet installations. Because so many Dallas dryers sit in unconditioned garages or utility closets, the hidden portion of the duct behind drywall or insulation gets ignored. The homeowner cleans the trap and assumes the run is clear. The bulk of the lint is farther downstream, baked against hot duct walls where it can’t be seen.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dallas
Most Dallas homes need dryer vent cleaning annually, and some need it more frequently. The combination of long attic runs, extreme summer heat, and heavy pollen loading that infiltrates through soffit vents means lint accumulates faster here than in cooler, basement-duct markets. Homes with multiple laundry loads per week, roof terminations, or dryers in unconditioned garages should schedule every 10 to 12 months. Call (469) 452-7766 and we’ll assess your specific run and usage.
Your vent likely runs through attic space that exceeds 140°F for months at a time, which bakes lint into a hard mat that narrows the duct diameter and traps new lint behind it. Dallas’s slab-on-grade construction creates longer runs than basement or crawlspace cities, and roof terminations with damaged screens let in pollen, insulation fibers, and nesting material. The dryer works harder, produces more lint, and the cycle accelerates. A camera inspection will show you exactly where the bottleneck is.
We inspect the full lint pathway with a camera: the transition duct behind the dryer, the entire run to the termination cap, and the cap itself. We’re looking for collapsed flex duct, separation at elbows, lint density, airflow restriction, and critter intrusion. In Dallas, we also check for heat damage to flex duct and proper support spacing to prevent sagging in hot attics. You receive the photo record and a written scope before any work is proposed.
Yes. Lint is highly combustible, and a restricted vent forces the dryer to run hotter and longer. The U.S. Fire Administration reports thousands of dryer fires annually, with failure to clean as the leading factor. In Dallas, the added risk is attic-routed duct that passes through 140°F+ space - already near ignition-adjacent temperatures before the dryer adds its own heat. We don’t recommend DIY cleaning of attic runs; the flex duct is easily damaged and the fire risk is real. Our techs are trained to clear the blockage without compromising the duct integrity.
Yes. Rerouting is one of our most common services in Dallas, particularly for slab homes where the original builder used foil flex duct across a long attic span. We replace it with rigid metal duct, properly supported, with a termination point that minimizes lint accumulation and critter access. The written price covers the complete reroute, and the job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (469) 452-7766 for a written estimate on your specific layout.
