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 Southlake
Dryer vent cleaning in Southlake, TX typically costs $180-$340 for a standard single-run system, with larger homes and longer vent runs running $280-$520. Most jobs are completed in 90 minutes to two hours, and every visit includes a written price before work starts and a documented photo record of what we found inside your vent.
We serve Southlake from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, and our crews are familiar with the specific challenges these homes present. The large custom builds off Davis Boulevard, the rural properties near the Grapevine border, and the multi-story homes in Timarron all share one thing: vent runs that are longer, more complex, and more heavily loaded with lint and debris than the national average. That matters because a standard shop-vac approach won’t reach the full length of these systems. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses professional-grade agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration to actually clear the pathway, not just make noise at the termination.
If your dryer is taking two cycles, your laundry room smells hot, or you can’t remember the last time the vent was professionally cleaned, call (940) 240-8552. We’ll give you a written estimate before any work starts, and you’ll see the inside of your vent before and after we touch it.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Lewisville Is Southlake’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metro since 2013, and Southlake has become one of our most frequent destinations. The reason is straightforward: these homes need more thorough vent cleaning than smaller, newer construction elsewhere, and homeowners here research before they hire. They want documentation, not promises.
Our reputation in Southlake is built on two things we put in writing on every job. First, Haven Standard Clause 1: a written price delivered before any work begins. No exceptions. Second, a Documented Photo Record of every vent run, before and after, included as standard. When a Timarron homeowner can see the 3-inch lint buildup at the first elbow that was slowing their dryer, they don’t need us to explain why the job mattered.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We don’t subcontract. The equipment on our trucks includes Rotobrush agitation systems and Nikro negative-pressure machines - brands you can look up and verify independently.
Every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. That’s a written guarantee, not a policy subject to manager approval.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Southlake
Dryer Vent Inspection
A proper inspection in Southlake starts with understanding the house. These 4,000-7,000 square foot homes often have laundry rooms on the second floor or in guest wings, with vent runs of 25-40 feet through attics before reaching an exterior wall or roof termination. We run a camera the full length of the vent to locate lint accumulation, sagging sections, disconnected joints, and bird or rodent intrusion. For homes with second laundry rooms or outbuildings - common on the larger rural properties off Davis Boulevard - we inspect every run and document each separately. The inspection report includes photos, a written scope, and a fixed price for any recommended cleaning or repair.
Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning process uses mechanical agitation to break lint free from duct walls, followed by negative-pressure extraction at the truck with HEPA filtration. This matters in Southlake because the long, flexible vent runs in these homes allow lint to compact into dense layers that won’t move with air alone. On a rural property off Davis Boulevard, our tech traced a customer’s slow-drying dryer to a long, sagging dryer vent run that had collected lint and blown-in insulation debris over several years. We ran a camera inspection, used agitation tools to break loose the compacted lint, and pulled everything out under negative pressure with HEPA filtration at the truck. The owner said dry times dropped from two cycles to one and the laundry room no longer smelled hot.
Lint Removal
Lint in Southlake vents isn’t just from the dryer. Properties with unpaved access roads and open land see heavy dust and pollen loading that mixes with lint to form dense, almost felt-like deposits. North Texas mountain cedar (Ashe juniper) pollen from December through February adds another layer. We remove this material completely, not just from the vent but from the transition duct behind the dryer where the first blockage typically forms. The photo record shows you exactly what was removed and where it was located.
Bird Guard Installation
Southlake’s mature trees and greenbelts attract birds that nest in vent terminations, particularly on roof caps and second-story wall outlets. A blocked vent with a nest is a fire hazard and a carbon monoxide risk for gas dryers. We install guardsman-rated bird guards that allow exhaust flow while preventing intrusion. Every installation is photographed and included in your job record.
Vent Rerouting
Some Southlake homes have vent runs that were poorly designed from construction - too long, too many bends, or terminated in locations that trap moisture. We reroute these systems to meet IRC M1502 standards, shortening runs where possible and converting sagging flex duct to rigid metal where it improves airflow. Rerouting jobs include a written scope, fixed price, and before-and-after photo documentation.
Vent Cap Replacement
Damaged or missing vent caps allow water, pests, and debris into the system. We stock replacement caps for common Southlake configurations and install them with proper clearances from soffits and adjacent openings.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Southlake Homes
- Compacted lint in long flex runs. Southlake’s large homes often have 30+ foot vent runs with multiple elbows. Lint packs densely in these configurations, and a shop-vac from the outside leaves most of it in place. We find compacted lint layers 2-3 inches thick on the first camera pass in roughly one-third of the homes we service here.
- Dust and pollen loading from unpaved roads and open land. Rural properties around Southlake pull fine dust and pollen into laundry room intake air. This material mixes with lint and accelerates buildup. The realistic cleaning interval for these homes is every 6-12 months, not the generic annual recommendation.
- Partially disconnected joints at attic plenums. North Texas expansive clay soils cause seasonal foundation movement throughout Southlake. We regularly find flex duct joints that have pulled loose at attic connections, allowing lint to escape into the attic space before reaching the vent termination. This creates both a fire hazard and a source of blown insulation fibers in living spaces.
- Improper terminations and blocked caps. Some 1990s-2000s Southlake construction used terminations too close to soffits or in recessed areas where lint collects. Bird nests in roof caps are also common given the tree canopy in neighborhoods like Timarron.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Southlake
Every 6-12 months, depending on laundry volume and proximity to dust sources. The generic “once a year” advice doesn’t account for Southlake’s rural dust loading or the long vent runs in these large homes. Properties on unpaved roads with heavy laundry use should plan for the 6-month end of that range. Call (940) 240-8552 and we’ll assess your specific setup.
Yes. Runs over 25 feet with multiple elbows require mechanical agitation tools and high-CFM negative-pressure extraction, not a shop-vac or compressed-air wand. Our Rotobrush systems break compacted lint free from duct walls, and our Nikro extractors pull it out under controlled suction with HEPA filtration. Equipment that works on a 10-foot straight run won’t clear a 35-foot Southlake vent with two elbows and a sag.
Because the lint trap catches roughly 60% of lint; the rest enters the vent pathway. In Southlake’s long runs, that escaped lint compacts into dense layers that restrict airflow. A clean lint trap with slow drying almost always means vent blockage, not dryer failure. We verify this with a camera inspection that shows you the obstruction before we quote cleaning.
Yes. North Texas expansive clay soils shift seasonally, and we regularly find partially disconnected flex duct joints at attic plenums in Southlake homes. These gaps let lint escape into the attic and draw unconditioned attic air into the system. The disconnection is usually hidden above insulation and isn’t visible from the laundry room. Our camera inspection finds it.
We inspect and document every vent run, including second laundry rooms, guest house connections, and outbuilding systems. Each run gets a separate camera pass, photo record, and written assessment. For the larger rural properties common in Southlake, this means we may inspect three or more separate systems and deliver a consolidated report with individual pricing for each. Call (940) 240-8552 to schedule.
