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.

We’ve been working the Arlington market since 2013, and our crews know the local housing stock cold. The city was built out almost entirely during the 1965-1995 suburban boom as a bedroom community between Dallas and Fort Worth, leaving an unusually dense concentration of slab-on-grade tract homes whose ductwork runs through unconditioned attics now 30-55 years old. With attic temperatures routinely exceeding 150°F through a six-plus-month cooling season, those original flex-duct dryer vent runs are degrading, sagging, and trapping lint in ways that standard cleaning alone won’t fix. That’s the difference between a shop-vac pass and the documented, photographed work our Dryer Vent Cleaning team delivers under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Arlington
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Arlington job starts with a camera inspection. We run a scope down the full length of the vent run, from the transition hose behind the dryer through the attic flex or rigid pipe to the exterior termination. In Arlington’s 1963-1993 tract homes, we’re looking for specific failure modes: foil jackets cracked from years of 150°F attic heat, fiberglass batting collapsed inward to form lint dams, and improper terminations under the house or into soffits that dump moisture and lint into the structure. The camera doesn’t guess. It shows.
Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning uses professional-grade negative-pressure extraction equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies, not a shop-vac with a brush kit. For Arlington homes with intact flex runs, we agitate and extract the lint load while protecting the duct integrity. But we’re honest when the duct itself has failed. Heat-damaged flex duct in Arlington attics often needs replacement, not just cleaning, and we’ll show you the camera footage and write the price for both options before you decide.
Lint Removal
Lint in Arlington dryer vents isn’t just soft fuzz. In those superheated attic runs, it bakes into dense mats that standard equipment can’t dislodge. We document the buildup depth and location in the photo record, then select the right agitation tool for the material, whether it’s a soft-bristle rotary brush for intact metal pipe or pneumatic whipping for hardened lint in collapsed flex sections.
Vent Rerouting
This is where Arlington’s housing stock really shows its age. Original dryer vent runs in east Arlington neighborhoods along corridors like Arkansas Lane and Collins Street were often flex-duct shortcuts through the attic, and decades of extreme heat have destroyed them. We reroute with rigid metal pipe where possible, proper slope for condensation drainage, and code-compliant exterior termination with a bird guard. The work is photographed, priced in writing beforehand, and backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Bird Guard Installation
Arlington’s mature tree canopy and proximity to River Legacy Parks and other green corridors mean birds, squirrels, and wasps routinely nest in unprotected vent terminations. A bird guard is a mesh screen that maintains airflow while blocking entry. We install guards sized to the vent diameter, verify proper backdraft damper function, and photograph the finished termination. It’s a small addition that prevents a major blockage.
Vent Cap Replacement
Broken flappers, missing screens, and cracked plastic caps are common on Arlington homes where the original cap has baked in attic heat for 30-plus years. We stock replacement caps in common sizes and verify proper seal and operation before leaving.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Arlington Homes
- Crushed transition hoses in tight laundry closets. Arlington’s 1970s-80s ranch homes were built with laundry closets barely deep enough for the appliance, and the transition hose gets flattened against the wall the first time someone pushes the dryer back. This chokes airflow right at the start and forces lint backward into the machine.
- Heat-collapsed attic flex runs. The foil jacket cracks. The fiberglass batting collapses inward. A solid lint dam forms that no surface cleaning touches. We find this repeatedly in older east Arlington neighborhoods, and it requires cutting out the failed section and rerouting with rigid pipe.
- Improper terminations under the house or into soffits. A routing shortcut common in slab-on-grade Arlington homes dumps lint and moisture directly into the structure, promoting mold and wood rot. We reroute to code-compliant wall or roof termination with proper clearances.
- Baked lint mats in long horizontal runs. Arlington’s sprawling ranch layouts often mean 20-plus-foot vent runs with minimal slope. Lint accumulates at low points and cooks into dense, hardened deposits that need pneumatic or mechanical agitation to remove.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Arlington runs $180-$340 for a single-family home with accessible attic or crawl space and an intact duct run. Vent rerouting with rigid pipe replacement adds $250-$550 depending on length and access difficulty. Bird guard installation is $85-$150. Vent cap replacement, when done as part of a cleaning, runs $45-$95.
What moves the price: attic accessibility (blown insulation vs. walkable decking), duct material condition (cleanable flex vs. heat-damaged replacement), termination location (wall vs. roof), and whether the run includes multiple elbows or a long horizontal section. We inspect with a camera first, show you what we found, and deliver a written price before any work starts. Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions.

Low quotes usually mean a shop-vac pass of the accessible duct only, with no camera inspection, no attic access, and no documentation. In Arlington’s heat-damaged flex-duct systems, that leaves the actual blockage untouched. We price the full scope, show you the camera footage, and photograph every run before and after.
Every job includes a Documented Photo Record of every vent run, before and after, delivered as part of the standard job record. You’ll see the lint load, the heat damage, the finished pipe, and the verified airflow reading. Evidence, not assurance.
A bird guard blocks nesting birds, squirrels, and wasps from entering the vent while maintaining proper airflow. A properly functioning vent cap with intact flapper prevents backdraft, keeps out rain, and stops conditioned air escape. In Arlington’s mature neighborhoods near parks and greenbelts, unprotected vents are nest sites waiting to happen. We install guards and caps sized to your vent diameter, verify operation, and photograph the finished work.
