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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Katy Is Four Corners’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Fort Bend County since 2013, and Four Corners has become one of our most frequent stops. The housing stock here is remarkably consistent - almost every home was built during the 2000s-2010s boom with builder-grade flex duct routed through unconditioned attics. That repetition means our technicians know what to look for before they climb the ladder.
Our reviews from Four Corners customers consistently mention the photo record. One homeowner near the intersection of FM 1093 and Peden Road wrote that she finally understood why her dryer had been underperforming for three years once she saw the before-and-after images of a lint plug the size of a softball packed at a sagging elbow. Another in the Grand Mission subdivision noted that our technician found a bird’s nest inside a heat-warped cap that two previous service visits had missed entirely.
Scheduling runs from our Houston office, and we typically book Four Corners appointments within two to four business days. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. You’ll know who’s coming and when.
We don’t do urgency theatre. We do documented work with a written price, a photo record, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing on every job.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Four Corners
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Four Corners home we visit gets a camera inspection of the full dryer run before we quote any work. We feed a lighted scope through the duct from the laundry room to the exterior cap, documenting sagging sections, joint separations, lint accumulation depth, and cap condition. In Four Corners’s slab-on-grade homes with attic-routed flex duct, we regularly find the first elbow packed with baked lint that the homeowner had no way to see. The inspection takes 15-20 minutes and produces dated, labeled images we review with you before presenting a written price.
Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning process uses agitation tools under negative-pressure extraction - mechanical brushes and compressed-air whips that dislodge lint while a vacuum collector captures it before it enters your home. For Four Corners’s typical 15-25 foot flex runs through 140°F+ attics, we size the equipment to the duct diameter and material. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, including the transition hose behind the unit. Every cleaned run is photographed after completion, and those images are delivered as part of your standard job record.
Lint Removal
Lint in Four Corners homes doesn’t accumulate evenly. It packs at low points where flex duct sags between joists, bakes into hardened plugs near the attic entry where temperatures peak, and layers thickly behind dryers where the transition hose makes a sharp bend. We remove lint mechanically - no shop-vac noise without extraction, no blowing it deeper into the run. For severe blockages, we may need to cut an access point in the attic, remove the plug, and seal the repair with code-compliant materials. The work is photographed, and the access is documented in your job record.
Vent Rerouting
Some Four Corners dryer runs were never routed well. The original builder may have sized the duct for a different floor plan, added elbows to reach a relocated laundry room, or run 25 feet of flex through a 140°F attic when 8 feet of rigid metal through an exterior wall would have worked. We reroute these systems when the existing path is beyond effective cleaning or when a shorter, straighter run will permanently solve repeat clogging. Rerouting a Four Corners slab-on-grade home typically involves running new rigid metal duct through a soffit or exterior wall, capping the old attic run, and installing a proper termination cap. We quote this work in writing before cutting anything, and the new run is photographed and pressure-tested.

Parts availability means we finish most jobs in a single visit, with before-and-after photos delivered before we leave.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Four Corners Homes
- Builder-grade flex duct sagging in attic heat. The flexible plastic duct installed during original construction softens in Four Corners’s 140°F+ attics, drooping between joists and creating low points where lint accumulates. These sags aren’t visible from the laundry room, and they trap lint into hardened plugs that only camera inspection reveals.
- Heat-warped exterior caps and stuck dampers. Original plastic flapper hoods and thin-metal caps degrade quickly in Fort Bend County’s sun and attic heat cycling. We regularly find caps in Four Corners with dampers stuck open (inviting birds and wasps) or stuck closed (trapping moisture and lint inside the run).
- Overlong, multi-elbow attic runs. Many Four Corners homes have dryer vents routed 20+ feet through two or three elbows to reach a distant gable end, when the dryer sits on an exterior wall. The airflow never reaches rated velocity, lint settles at each turn, and the dryer blower motor overheats trying to push against static pressure.
- Post-Harvey moisture in “remediated” ductwork. After August 2017, many Four Corners homes received surface-level cleanup that never addressed attic-routed flex duct. We still find active mildew on duct lining in these homes, often mistaken by residents as a dryer malfunction when it’s actually biological growth restricting airflow and producing musty exhaust.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Four Corners, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Four Corners runs $150-$220 for a single straight run up to 15 feet, and $200-$280 for longer or multi-elbow attic runs that require additional access work. Vent rerouting, when needed, typically ranges from $350-$650 depending on the new path length, wall or soffit penetration, and materials. Cap replacement adds $45-$85. Every price is written and agreed before work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1 - with no per-foot add-ons or post-work surprises.
Factors that affect your specific price: run length and elbow count, whether the duct is accessible from the attic or requires soffit cutting, severity of lint blockage, and whether the exterior cap needs replacement. We don’t do $79 coupons that become $400 invoices. We inspect, we photograph, we write the price, and you approve it. Free estimates are available at (346) 666-7165.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Four Corners
Restricted airflow from lint blockage is the cause in nearly every case we see. In Four Corners’s builder-grade flex runs through 140°F+ attics, lint bakes into hardened plugs at sagging elbows while heat-warped caps trap moist exhaust. Your dryer senses the backed-up humidity and extends cycle time automatically. Call (346) 666-7165 for a camera inspection - estimates are free, and we’ll show you the blockage before quoting any work.
Every 12-18 months for a typical Four Corners household doing 4-6 loads weekly. Homes with pets, large families, or long attic runs should schedule annually. The subtropical humidity and year-round AC operation in Fort Bend County keep attic ductwork in constant thermal cycling, which accelerates flex duct degradation and lint adhesion compared to drier climates. We note the recommended next service date on your written job record.
Yes, in homes that took moisture during August 2017 and received surface remediation without duct inspection. We find active mildew on flex duct lining in these homes during routine cleanings - growth that restricts airflow and produces musty exhaust odors residents attribute to the dryer itself. A camera inspection reveals whether your ductwork was among the post-Harvey blind spots. If we find biological growth, we’ll document it and quote appropriate cleaning or replacement.
Yes. Most Four Corners slab homes have laundry rooms on exterior walls, which often allows a short rigid metal run through the wall or soffit rather than the original 20+ foot flex path through the attic. We cut the new path, install code-compliant rigid metal duct, cap the old attic run, and pressure-test the new system. Rerouting typically costs $350-$650 in Four Corners, quoted in writing before any cutting begins. The result is a shorter, straighter, cooler run that stays cleaner longer.
A full camera run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, with dated, labeled images of the duct interior, joints, sagging sections, lint depth, and cap condition. We review these images with you on-site, explain what we found in plain language, and deliver a written price for any recommended work. The inspection itself takes 15-20 minutes and is included in our standard service call. You’ll receive the photo record as part of your job documentation whether or not you proceed with cleaning.
On a Four Corners slab-on-grade home with attic-routed builder-grade flex duct, we ran a camera inspection down the dryer run and found it sagging between joists with lint packed at the first elbow and the exterior cap’s damper stuck open from heat warp. We pulled the lint with agitation tools under negative pressure, replaced the cap, and rerouted the sagging section so the lint pathway stays short and uphill-free. The homeowner had been running two cycles per load for a month; after the work, one cycle dried a full load.
Four Corners was built almost entirely during Fort Bend County’s 2000s-2010s tract-home boom, so its dryer vents are builder-grade flex runs through 140°F+ attics rather than the short rigid metal runs found in older Houston neighborhoods - which means clogs here build up faster and vent caps fail sooner. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team addresses this with camera inspection, mechanical agitation under negative pressure, and rerouting to rigid metal where the original path is beyond saving. Every job is documented, every price is written, and every customer gets the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
