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 Lewisville Homeowners
Lewisville Dryer Vent Cleaning typically costs $120-$275 for a standard single-family home and takes 60-90 minutes from arrival to final airflow test. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Lewisville has documented every dryer vent job with before-and-after photos since 2013, and we put a written price on the table before any panel comes off - Haven Standard Clause 1. Call (940) 240-8552 for a free estimate with no obligation to schedule.
We’ve cleaned dryer vents in 52,000+ homes across North Texas, including hundreds in Lewisville neighborhoods like Castle Hills, Valley Vista, and Old Town. The camera doesn’t lie: we regularly find 2-4 inches of packed lint at the first elbow behind the dryer, especially in homes built during the 2015-2020 construction boom where builders often used the cheapest flex-duct available. That buildup restricts airflow, forces the dryer to run longer, and creates the conditions that lead to the 2,900+ dryer fires reported annually in the U.S. Our crews use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
What separates a real dryer vent cleaning from a shop-vac visit is documentation. We photograph the inside of every vent run before and after, deliver those images as part of your standard job record, and back the work with our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right. No manager approval needed. The proof is in the photo record.
What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service Includes
Dryer Vent Inspection
A proper Dryer Vent Inspection starts with airflow measurement at the exterior cap, not a flashlight glance behind the dryer. We use a digital anemometer to record baseline cubic feet per minute, then feed a borescope camera through the entire vent run to locate lint accumulation, crushed duct sections, improper slope, or disconnected joints. In Lewisville’s older neighborhoods like Old Town, we frequently find galvanized steel ducts from the 1980s with internal corrosion that traps lint; in newer construction near The Highlands, we see foil flex-duct sagging between floor joists where it should have been rigid pipe. The inspection produces a written report with photos, a recommended scope of work, and a fixed price - delivered before any cleaning begins.
Vent Cleaning
Our Vent Cleaning method combines negative-pressure extraction with mechanical agitation. A Nikro portable HEPA vacuum generates suction at the exterior cap while a Rotobrush rotary whip system travels the full length of the duct, dislodging packed lint from corrugated walls and elbow joints. This matters because compressed air alone, the method many coupon services use, often blows lint into corners where it re-accumulates within months. We verify results with a second airflow test and camera pass, and we don’t leave until the post-cleaning CFM reading meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications for your dryer’s make and model. The photo record shows the difference between what we found and what we left behind.
Lint Removal
Lint removal addresses the material that escapes the dryer’s internal lint trap and collects throughout the vent system. In Lewisville’s hard-water areas, lint often binds with mineral dust to form dense, felt-like deposits that adhere to duct walls. We remove this material mechanically rather than relying on suction alone, because bonded lint won’t move without physical contact. Our crews also clean the transition duct - the short section between dryer and wall - which is where most fires originate. This component is frequently overlooked by services that clean only from the exterior cap inward. We document the transition duct condition in your photo record and flag any deterioration that warrants replacement.
Vent Rerouting
Vent rerouting becomes necessary when the original duct path is too long, has too many bends, or terminates in a location that violates current building codes. The International Residential Code limits dryer vents to 35 feet equivalent length, with each 90-degree elbow adding 5 feet to that calculation. We’ve rerouted vents in Lewisville homes where a previous owner ran 50+ feet of duct through an attic space, creating a lint trap that no amount of cleaning could keep clear. Our rerouting service includes a written proposal showing the proposed path, material specifications (typically rigid aluminum or galvanized steel per IRC M1502), and a fixed installation price. We pull permits when required by Denton County or the City of Lewisville, and we photograph every joint and support strap for the job record.
Bird Guard Installation
Bird guards prevent nesting in the exterior vent termination, a common problem in Lewisville where starlings and house sparrows seek sheltered cavities. A blocked vent doesn’t just reduce dryer efficiency; it forces exhaust gases including carbon monoxide back into the laundry space. We install Guardsman-brand stainless steel bird guards with 1/2-inch mesh that blocks birds while maintaining adequate airflow for proper dryer operation. The guard is secured with screws, not caulk or friction fit, and we verify that the installation doesn’t increase back-pressure beyond manufacturer limits. This service is often paired with vent cleaning because existing nests must be removed before guard installation.
Vent Cap Replacement
Vent caps degrade from UV exposure, physical impact, and repeated temperature cycling. A damaged cap allows rain infiltration, pest entry, and lint dispersion onto siding - we’ve seen moisture damage to LP SmartSide and fiber-cement cladding in Lewisville homes where missing flappers went unreplaced for months. We stock replacement caps from major manufacturers and match the new unit to your duct diameter and wall construction. Installation includes sealing the penetration with appropriate flashing and verifying proper damper operation. The old cap and new installation are photographed for your job record.

Brands We Service for Dryer Vent Cleaning
We’ve serviced and cleaned venting for dryers from every major manufacturer installed in Lewisville homes. For Whirlpool and Maytag units, which represent a significant share of the market in 2015-2020 construction, we stock transition ducts and termination kits that match OEM specifications - critical because these brands specify maximum back-pressure limits that generic hardware often exceeds. Our crews are familiar with the vent configurations common to Whirlpool’s long-vent models, which require more frequent cleaning due to extended duct runs.
LG and Samsung vented dryers, increasingly common in newer Lewisville homes, have specific requirements for elbow radius and duct material that we verify during inspection. We’ve documented cases where improper original installation - typically a tight 90-degree bend behind the unit - caused premature lint buildup that the homeowner attributed to dryer malfunction. Whether you have a basic Hotpoint or a premium Miele heat-pump dryer, we can inspect, clean, and document the vent system. If your venting connects to a Honeywell or Aprilaire whole-house ventilation component, we coordinate our work with those system specifications to maintain balanced airflow.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning Right Now
- Clothes take more than one cycle to dry. A properly vented dryer should dry a standard load in 45-55 minutes. If you’re running 70+ minutes or restarting the cycle, restricted airflow is the likely cause. We measure actual CFM against manufacturer specs to confirm, rather than guessing.
- The dryer exterior or laundry room feels unusually hot. Exhaust temperature should exit through the cap, not radiate from the machine. Excess heat indicates trapped exhaust, which accelerates wear on heating elements and creates fire risk. We’ve recorded surface temperatures 40°F above normal in Lewisville homes with completely blocked vents.
- You smell burning or musty odors during dryer operation. Lint is highly combustible; a burning smell means it’s overheating somewhere in the system. Musty odors suggest moisture accumulation from poor airflow, often in a sagging flex-duct section. Both conditions warrant immediate inspection.
- Visible lint accumulates around the exterior cap or inside the transition duct. Lint escaping the system means the vent is at or beyond capacity. We frequently find the transition duct packed solid while the homeowner only noticed surface lint - the camera reveals what the eye cannot see.
- It’s been over 12 months since your last professional cleaning. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual dryer vent inspection and cleaning for single-family homes, more frequently for households with high laundry volume. In Lewisville’s clay-soil areas, foundation movement can shift duct alignments between inspections, making annual verification particularly worthwhile.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process - Step by Step
- 1
Arrival and verification. Our technician arrives in a marked CleanRun vehicle, introduces themselves by name, and confirms the scope of work against your written estimate. Haven Standard Clause 3 requires verified crew identification before any home entry. We protect flooring and adjacent surfaces with drop cloths before moving the dryer.
- 2
Baseline testing and camera inspection. We measure airflow at the exterior cap with a digital anemometer, then feed a borescope through the full duct run to document lint distribution, duct condition, and any construction defects. These images become the “before” portion of your photo record.
- 3
Mechanical cleaning with negative-pressure extraction. Using Rotobrush rotary whips and Nikro HEPA vacuum systems, we dislodge and remove lint from the entire vent path. The vacuum operates at the exterior cap to prevent lint release into your home. For particularly dense buildup, we make multiple passes and verify progress with camera checks.
- 4
Post-cleaning verification. We repeat the airflow measurement and camera inspection to confirm results. The post-cleaning CFM reading is recorded on your job documentation, and the “after” photos are added to your record. If airflow doesn’t meet manufacturer specifications, we continue working at no additional charge until it does - Haven Standard Clause 1 pricing applies to the agreed scope, not a time limit.
- 5
Written documentation and departure. You receive a printed or electronic job record including before-and-after photos, airflow readings, technician notes, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. We reposition the dryer, remove protective materials, and review the documentation with you before departure. Payment is processed only after your approval of the completed work.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Lewisville?
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Lewisville runs $120-$175 for a single-story home with a direct vent path of 15 feet or less (see our Dryer Vent Cleaning cost guide for full details). This covers the full inspection, mechanical cleaning, airflow testing, and documented photo record. Two-story homes with roof or extended wall terminations typically fall in the $175-$225 range due to additional access requirements and longer duct runs. Vent rerouting, bird guard installation, or cap replacement are quoted separately with written prices before work begins - no surprises.
Several factors affect where your job falls in these ranges. Duct material matters: rigid metal cleans more efficiently than foil flex-duct, which often requires replacement rather than cleaning if it has sagged or torn. Accessibility affects labor time; vents terminating on a second-story gable end or beneath a deck require additional setup. The severity of lint accumulation determines whether one pass suffices or multiple agitation cycles are needed. We assess all of these during the free inspection and present a single, fixed price.
To avoid overpaying, reject any quote that won’t commit to a number in writing before work starts. The $79 coupon model typically covers a cursory vacuuming of the transition duct, not the full vent run. Ask specifically whether the price includes camera inspection, airflow measurement, and photo documentation - services we include as standard, not upgrades. Our written estimate itemizes exactly what you’ll receive and what the total will be. If you have a competitor’s written quote, we provide a free second opinion with our number beside it.
Every estimate is free and carries no obligation to schedule. The price we write is the price you pay - Haven Standard Clause 1.

Frequently Asked Questions - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lewisville
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint and debris from the entire exhaust path between your dryer and the exterior termination, including the transition duct, wall duct, elbows, and cap. Cleaning the lint trap only captures material from the drum; 25-35% of lint bypasses the trap and accumulates in the vent system, where it restricts airflow and creates fire risk. Our service includes camera inspection of the full run, mechanical agitation cleaning, and airflow verification - none of which is possible from the lint trap alone.
A standard dryer vent cleaning takes 60-90 minutes from arrival to final documentation. Complex jobs involving vent rerouting, multiple story access, or severe lint accumulation may extend to 2 hours. We don’t charge by the hour - Haven Standard Clause 1 means your written price covers the agreed scope regardless of time required. You’ll know the expected duration before we start.
Most Lewisville homeowners pay $120-$175 for a standard single-story vent cleaning with full documentation. Two-story homes or extended duct runs typically range $175-$225. We provide a written, fixed-price estimate after inspection and before any work begins - no per-vent pricing, no add-on surprises. Call (940) 240-8552 for a free estimate with exact numbers for your home.
We clean venting for all major dryer brands including Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, Bosch, and Miele. The vent system is largely independent of dryer brand - what matters is duct configuration, material, and condition. If your vent connects to a Honeywell or Aprilaire whole-house ventilation component, we coordinate our cleaning to maintain system balance. Our inspection identifies any brand-specific requirements before work begins.
We don’t promise same-day dispatch because proper dryer vent cleaning requires scheduled time for inspection, mechanical cleaning, and documentation. However, we do answer calls 24/7 through our live answering service, and we prioritize appointments for situations involving burning smells or complete airflow blockage. For genuine emergencies where fire risk is immediate, we advise calling the Lewisville Fire Department first, then contacting us for follow-up inspection and cleaning.
Every dryer vent cleaning is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work is not right, we make it right with no manager approval required. This covers workmanship, documentation accuracy, and airflow performance. The promise is a written guarantee delivered with your job record, not a website policy subject to interpretation. Haven Standard Clause 5: Accountable Work.
Clear a path to your dryer and remove items stored on or immediately around it. Ensure we can access both the dryer location and the exterior vent termination without obstruction. Don’t run the dryer immediately before our arrival - a hot drum complicates handling. We’ll move the dryer, protect your flooring, and reposition everything before departure. No other preparation is needed; we bring all equipment, drop cloths, and documentation tools.
