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 Greatwood
Dryer vent cleaning in Greatwood, TX typically costs $180-$340 for a standard single-family home, with condo and townhome stacks running $220-$400 depending on shared-duct complexity. 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 when we leave. Call (346) 666-7165 to schedule.
We serve Greatwood’s master-planned neighborhoods from scheduling coordinated through our Houston office. Our crews know the tight cul-de-sacs off FM 762, the shared parking courts in Riverpark’s townhome clusters, and the long attic chases that run through Greatwood’s two-story homes built between the late 1980s and early 2000s. That era of construction means something specific for your dryer vent: flex-duct materials now 25-35 years old, exposed to Fort Bend County attic heat that regularly exceeds 140°F, with inner liners that crack and sag into low spots where lint collects out of sight.
CleanRun has held Haven Standard Clause 1 since 2013: written price before any work starts, every time, no exceptions. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team arrives with Rotobrush agitation tools, Nikro HEPA-negative-pressure extractors, and a camera to show you what we found before we clear it.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Katy Is Greatwood’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve documented the inside of dryer vent runs in Greatwood since our first jobs here in 2013. The photo records from those early visits - showing flex duct delaminated by attic heat cycling, lint compressed behind wall cavities in shared chases - are part of why Greatwood homeowners refer us to neighbors in the same development phase facing identical aging-duct problems.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes identifies each technician by name before arrival, and every job concludes with a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing. If the work is not right, we make it right.
Response to Greatwood is scheduled from our Houston dispatch office, with routing that accounts for the community’s restricted access points and narrow driveways. We do not promise same-day dispatch - dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled safety service, not an emergency - but we do answer every call with a live person, 24/7, and book the next available slot that works for your calendar.
Our local reputation rests on what we can show you: the written price, the before-and-after photos, the equipment brands you can look up yourself. That is the Haven Standard.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Greatwood
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every CleanRun visit to Greatwood starts with a camera inspection of the full duct run, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination. In Greatwood’s two-story homes with attic-routed flex duct, we’re looking specifically for sagging low spots created by decades of heat cycling, cracks in the mylar liner, and compression in the outer insulation wrap - failure modes that are invisible from the laundry room but obvious on camera. The inspection includes a written scope and photo documentation before any cleaning begins. Price range: $89-$140, credited toward cleaning if you proceed.
Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning in Greatwood uses agitation tools under negative-pressure extraction - we disturb the lint mat so the Nikro HEPA system pulls it out rather than pushing it deeper into the duct. This matters especially in Greatwood’s shared stacks, where compressed lint behind one unit’s wall can migrate into neighboring runs. Surface vacuuming from the termination end leaves that debris in place. We clean the full run, photograph the result, and deliver the photo record as a standard deliverable. Typical range for Greatwood single-family homes: $180-$280; shared-condo stacks: $220-$340.
Lint Removal
Lint removal in Greatwood is rarely a simple trap cleaning. The subtropical dew points above 70°F for five-plus months per year mean moisture from oversized AC cycling condenses in attic ductwork, binding lint into dense mats that standard equipment won’t dislodge. On a two-story home in Greatwood’s Riverpark section, our tech used a camera inspection and found the dryer vent run was routed through an unconditioned attic chase shared with the neighboring unit’s stack; lint had compressed into a dense mat behind the outer wall, tripping the dryer’s high-limit thermostat. We pulled the run, cleared the lint pathway with agitation tools under negative pressure, and installed a new Guardsman vent cap and bird guard - the dryer cycle dropped back to normal and the homeowner avoided a service call on the appliance.
Vent Rerouting
When Greatwood’s aging flex duct has cracked or delaminated beyond cleaning, we reroute with rigid metal duct where code allows, eliminating the sag points where lint accumulates. Rerouting in Greatwood often requires navigating tight attic spaces above two-story homes with 2,500-4,500 square feet of conditioned space - long runs through unconditioned voids that demand proper slope and support. We quote rerouting in writing before cutting any material. Typical range: $340-$620 depending on run length and attic access.
Bird Guard Installation
Greatwood’s mature tree canopy and proximity to the Brazos River corridor attract nesting birds to vent terminations. A bird guard stops the blockage before it starts. We install Guardsman vent caps with integrated bird guards, sized to your duct diameter, with a written warranty. Typical range: $120-$180 installed.
Vent Cap Replacement
Broken flappers, missing screens, and UV-degraded plastic caps are standard finds on Greatwood homes built in the 1990s. We stock replacement caps for common configurations and install with a proper seal to prevent backdraft and pest entry. Range: $95-$150.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Greatwood
CleanRun crews arrive with professional-grade equipment from trade-recognized brands: Rotobrush agitation systems for dislodging compressed lint, Nikro HEPA-negative-pressure extractors for containing debris during cleaning, and Honeywell and Aprilaire components where vent integration touches HVAC controls. We stock Guardsman vent caps and bird guards for same-visit installation on most Greatwood jobs, so you’re not waiting on a parts order while lint continues accumulating in a shared stack. Every brand named here can be verified independently - that is Haven Standard Clause 2: Disclosed Equipment.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Greatwood Homes
- Shared-stack lint migration in townhome clusters. Because Greatwood’s two-story homes were built in tight phases, many share the same stacked dryer-vent chase, so when the duct run is clogged, lint and moisture can back up into multiple units’ laundry rooms at once. Cleaning only your visible trap leaves the shared blockage in place.
- Attic heat sag in 1980s-2000s flex duct. Attic-routed dryer ducts in Greatwood homes flex and sag under 140°F+ summer attic heat, creating low spots where lint accumulates even after a surface vacuuming. The camera shows what the eye cannot.
- Moisture-bound lint mats from Fort Bend humidity. Dew points above 70°F for five or more months per year drive condensation inside attic ductwork, binding lint into dense mats that require agitation tools under negative pressure - not a shop vac from the termination end.
- Restricted equipment access in denser sections. Narrow driveways and limited street parking in Greatwood’s tighter clusters often force longer hose runs from the truck, reducing negative pressure at the vent without a proper HEPA filtration setup. Our Nikro systems are specified for these conditions.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Greatwood
Every 12-18 months for shared stacks in Greatwood’s townhome and condo clusters, versus 18-24 months for standalone single-family runs. The shared chase means lint from one unit affects neighbors, and the 25-35-year-old flex duct in most Greatwood homes creates more accumulation points than newer rigid-metal installations. Call (346) 666-7165 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
The combination of aging flex-duct materials, 140°F+ attic heat cycling, and shared-stack configurations unique to Greatwood’s phased construction creates more lint traps per linear foot of duct than rigid-metal systems in newer builds. The inner mylar liner cracks; the outer wrap compresses; low spots form where lint and moisture collect. Call (346) 666-7165 for an exact quote - estimates are free.

Flex duct from the late 1980s with cracked inner liners and compressed outer insulation - runs still nominally connected but moving almost no air, a failure mode driven by decades of Fort Bend attic heat. Homeowners notice longer dry times and assume the appliance is failing; the real problem is a duct run delivering less than half its designed airflow. Call (346) 666-7165 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes. We install Guardsman vent caps with integrated bird guards, sized to your duct diameter, with a written warranty. This is standard on most Greatwood jobs where the existing cap is UV-degraded or missing its screen. Call (346) 666-7165 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
