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.

AfterTrusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Irving Homeowners
Dryer vent cleaning in Irving typically costs $149-$289 for a standard single-family home and takes 60-90 minutes from arrival to documented photo record. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Irving has delivered written prices before work starts on every job since 2013, with a photo record of every vent run included as standard. Call (682) 297-4068 for a free estimate with no obligation.
We’ve served more than 52,000 homes across North Texas, and the pattern we see in Irving is consistent: newer construction in Valley Ranch and Las Colinas often has longer vent runs with multiple elbows that trap lint, while older homes near Irving Boulevard and downtown have galvanized pipes that corrode internally and catch debris. Both situations increase fire risk and extend drying times, but the fix is different, and the price should reflect what is actually there. That’s why every CleanRun visit starts with a camera inspection and ends with a written report showing what we found and what we did.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We operate with professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Abatement Technologies, and every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If you’re comparing estimates, we offer a Free Second Opinion on any written quote from another company. Bring it in; we’ll put our number next to it.
What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service Includes
Dryer Vent Inspection
A Dryer Vent Inspection is the camera-led assessment of the full vent path from the back of your dryer to the exterior cap, identifying blockages, damage, and fire hazards before any cleaning begins. In Irving, we regularly find crushed flex hose behind units in townhomes near MacArthur Boulevard and bird nests in second-story caps in the Cottonwood Creek area. Our technician feeds a high-resolution camera through the vent run (the complete duct path from appliance to exterior) and delivers the footage to you as part of the documented photo record, with a written scope of work and fixed price before any cleaning starts.
Vent Cleaning
Vent Cleaning is the mechanical removal of lint and debris from the entire dryer exhaust system using negative-pressure extraction (suction that pulls contaminants out rather than pushing them deeper into the home). For Irving homes with long horizontal runs common in newer subdivisions, we use Nikro equipment to maintain consistent suction across 25-foot-plus spans without dislodging connections. The work is photographed before and after, and the photo record is delivered with your job documentation under Haven Standard Clause 1: Written Price, Documented Result.
Lint Removal
Lint removal targets the accumulated fabric fibers that bypass your dryer’s internal screen and build up in the vent run, creating the leading cause of residential dryer fires nationwide. In Irving’s humid spring months, we’ve found that lint compacts into dense mats near exterior caps, particularly on north-facing walls that stay shaded and damp. Our technicians use rotating brushes sized to your duct diameter, with vacuum capture at the point of agitation, and the volume of lint removed is photographed and noted in your written job record.
Vent Rerouting
Vent rerouting is the redesign and replacement of an inefficient or unsafe duct path, typically when the current run exceeds 25 feet, has too many elbows (directional changes that restrict airflow), or terminates in an enclosed space like an attic or crawlspace. We’ve rerouted vents in Irving’s Las Colinas high-rises where original construction routed exhaust through interior walls, and in single-family homes near Hackberry Creek where additions extended the run beyond code limits. Every reroute includes a new written price, material specification, and post-installation airflow test with results in your documentation.
Bird Guard Installation
Bird guard installation places a protective screen over the exterior vent cap to prevent nesting while maintaining proper exhaust flow. In Irving, we see this most often in homes near the Trinity River greenbelt and Campion Trail, where starlings and sparrows nest in vent openings during March through August. Our guards are selected for your specific cap type and duct diameter, installed with tamper-resistant fasteners, and photographed as part of the completed job record.
Vent Cap Replacement
Vent cap replacement swaps a damaged, missing, or improperly functioning exterior termination for a code-compliant unit that opens under dryer pressure and seals when idle. Irving’s hail season and summer heat degrade plastic caps quickly; we’ve replaced dozens in the Valley Ranch and Windsor Ridge areas where UV exposure cracked flappers or wind tore hoods loose. The new cap model, installation, and finished photo are documented in your job record with the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Brands We Service for Dryer Vent Cleaning
We service all major dryer manufacturers, with specific expertise on units common to Irving’s housing stock. We’ve cleaned vents connected to hundreds of Whirlpool and Maytag dryers in the 2015-2022 build years prevalent in Grand Prairie’s and Irving’s newer subdivisions, and we stock replacement transition hoses and clamps sized to these models. For higher-end installations in Southlake and Las Colinas, we’ve regularly serviced Bosch, Miele, and LG venting systems with longer-than-standard runs and proprietary connection fittings.
Whether you have a basic builder-grade unit in Carrollton or a stacked installation in a Grapevine townhome, we can help. Our equipment roster includes adapters and brush sizes for every common duct diameter, and if your vent configuration is unusual, we document the approach and any custom materials in your written scope before work begins. Home owners across North Texas rely on this same process.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning Right Now
- Clothes take more than one cycle to dry. This is the most common symptom we hear from Irving homeowners, and it means your vent is restricting airflow enough to defeat the dryer’s heating element. The appliance runs longer, wears out faster, and costs more to operate, usually for a problem that costs less than two months of excess utility bills to fix.
- The laundry room feels unusually hot or humid during dryer use. When a vent is blocked, moist exhaust air backs up into the room instead of exiting the house. In Irving’s summer, this adds load to your air conditioning and can promote mold growth in wall cavities near the dryer location.
- You smell burning or mustiness near the dryer. Lint is highly flammable, and a burning odor means it is overheating somewhere in the system. Mustiness indicates trapped moisture, which degrades duct materials and can wick into surrounding structure. Both require immediate inspection.
- Visible lint accumulation around the exterior vent cap or inside the dryer door seal. If lint is escaping at these points, it is because the vent run is too full to carry it out properly. The exterior cap should show steady airflow during dryer operation, not intermittent puffs or visible lint buildup on the ground below.
- It has been more than 12 months since your last professional cleaning. The U.S. Fire Administration recommends annual dryer vent cleaning for single-family homes, and more frequently for households with multiple loads per day, pets that shed, or fabric types that produce fine lint. In Irving’s hard-water areas, mineral dust from line-dried items can also accelerate buildup.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process - Step by Step
- 1
Arrival and verification. Your technician arrives in a marked CleanRun vehicle, uniformed and identified by name under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We confirm the scope you were quoted, inspect the dryer location for access, and lay protective flooring before touching any equipment.
- 2
Camera inspection and written scope. We feed a high-resolution inspection camera through the full vent run from the exterior cap inward, or from the interior connection outward depending on configuration. You see what we see: lint volume, blockages, corrosion, improper materials, or pest intrusion. The technician documents findings and delivers a written price for your approval before any cleaning begins. Haven Standard Clause 1: no work without a written price.
- 3
Mechanical cleaning with negative-pressure extraction. Using equipment from Nikro or Abatement Technologies matched to your duct size and material, we agitate lint and debris with rotating brushes while capturing it at the source with high-volume vacuum. For rigid metal ducts, we use stiffer brushes; for flex hose, softer bristles and lower RPM to prevent damage. The process is repeated until the camera shows clean duct walls.
- 4
Airflow verification and component check. We measure exhaust velocity at the exterior cap with an anemometer (a wind-speed meter calibrated in feet per minute) and compare it to manufacturer specifications for your dryer model. The transition hose behind the unit is inspected for kinks, holes, or improper material, and the interior lint screen housing is vacuumed.
- 5
Documented photo record delivery and written warranty. Before-and-after photos of the vent run interior, the exterior cap, and any components replaced are compiled into your job record. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is included in writing. Payment is processed only after you review and approve the documentation.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Irving?
A standard Dryer Vent Cleaning - Irving runs $149-$189 for a single-story home with a straight vent run of 15 feet or less and ground-level exterior access. Two-story homes with roof or second-story cap access, typically found in Valley Ranch and the University Hills area, range $189-$239 due to ladder work and extended hose requirements. Vent rerouting, bird guard installation, or cap replacement are priced separately and quoted in writing after inspection: rerouting generally falls between $289-$450 depending on materials and linear feet, guards and caps between $75-$150 installed.
Several factors affect your specific price. Duct material matters: rigid aluminum or galvanized steel cleans more quickly than damaged flex hose that must be replaced. Run length and elbow count reduce airflow efficiency and increase cleaning time. Accessibility affects labor: a cap buried in foundation landscaping or a dryer wedged in a closet with 6 inches of clearance adds time that templated pricing ignores and we account for upfront. Pest blockages requiring removal and guard installation are quoted only after camera confirmation.
To avoid overpaying, reject any quote that cannot explain what is included. The $79 coupon model typically covers a cursory vacuuming of the lint screen area, not the full vent run. Ask whether the price includes the exterior cap, whether before-and-after documentation is provided, and whether the quote is fixed or “subject to conditions.” At CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Irving, the price we write is the price you pay, and the photo record proves what was done. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Euless and Dryer Vent Cleaning in Grapevine follow the same structure.

Frequently Asked Questions - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irving
Dryer vent cleaning is the professional removal of lint and debris from the complete exhaust path between your clothes dryer and the exterior of your home, performed with mechanical brushes and negative-pressure extraction to restore airflow and reduce fire risk. You need it because lint bypasses your dryer’s screen, accumulates in the vent run, and creates the leading cause of residential dryer fires, while also forcing your dryer to work harder, run longer, and fail prematurely. In Irving’s climate, seasonal humidity can compound the problem by causing lint to compact and stick to duct walls. Call (682) 297-4068 for a free estimate with written pricing.
A standard dryer vent cleaning takes 60-90 minutes from technician arrival to final airflow test and documentation delivery. Complex jobs involving rerouting, multi-story access, or pest removal may extend to 2-3 hours, but the written price is fixed before work begins regardless of time required. We do not charge hourly. Your technician will confirm the expected duration when presenting the written scope.
Most Irving homeowners pay between $149 and $239 for complete dryer vent cleaning, depending on home height, vent length, and accessibility; see our Dryer Vent Cleaning cost guide for full details. Two-story homes, roof-terminating vents, or runs exceeding 25 feet fall at the higher end; single-story homes with ground-level caps and straight runs fall at the lower. Additional services like bird guard installation ($75-$150) or vent rerouting ($289-$450) are quoted separately after camera inspection. Every price is written and approved before work starts. Call (682) 297-4068 for your specific estimate.
Yes. We clean the venting connected to all major dryer brands, including Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, Bosch, Miele, GE, and Electrolux, with no difference in service approach or pricing based on brand. The vent system is largely standardized by duct diameter and material, not appliance manufacturer. If your installation uses proprietary fittings or an unusual configuration, we document this during inspection and include any needed adapters in the written scope.
We do not advertise same-day or emergency dispatch for dryer vent cleaning because it is a scheduled maintenance service, not an emergency response category. However, we prioritize situations involving burning odors, complete airflow blockage, or visible smoke, and we answer calls with a live person 24 hours a day to assess urgency and schedule accordingly. For true emergencies involving active fire or gas smell, we direct callers to 911 and schedule follow-up inspection once the immediate hazard is cleared.
Every dryer vent cleaning is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right, CleanRun makes it right, documented in writing on every job record, not subject to manager approval or claim filing. Haven Standard Clause 5: Accountable Work. This covers workmanship, materials we install, and the documented result. It does not cover new lint accumulation from normal use, which is why we recommend annual maintenance.
Clear a 3-foot workspace around your dryer and remove any items stored on top or immediately adjacent; the technician needs access to the rear connection and room to lay protective flooring and equipment. Do not run the dryer for 2 hours before arrival, as hot ductwork cannot be safely camera-inspected. If your exterior cap is behind landscaping or fencing, ensure access is available or note any obstacles when scheduling. The technician will handle everything else, including moving the dryer if it is on wheels and within safe weight limits.
