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.

We serve Hunters Creek Village from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, with crews routing through the Memorial Villages corridor daily. Our technicians know the area’s estate lots off Beinhorn Road, the teardown-rebuilds along Voss Road, and the semi-custom homes from the 1970s and 1980s that dominate the local housing stock. If you live here, you already know your laundry room is probably farther from your exterior wall than the dryer manufacturer’s 25-foot maximum recommends. That distance matters. The flexible foil duct running through your 140°F attic matters. And whether a post-Harvey contractor replaced your roof jack or just patched around it matters more than most homeowners realize until a load of towels takes three cycles to dry.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Katy Is Hunters Creek Village’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been documenting dryer vent conditions in Hunters Creek Village since 2013. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team has photographed crushed flex duct, painted-shut vent caps, and four-pound lint deposits in attics from Memorial Drive to Buffalo Bayou’s edge. Every one of those 52,000+ homes received a written price before a tool came out of the truck.
Our Hunters Creek Village customers are specific about what they want: evidence they can see, a price they can hold in writing, and accountability after the fact. The 365-Day Done Right Promise, backed in writing on every job, gives that accountability. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the written price. Haven Standard Clause 3 means background-checked, uniformed technicians identified by name before arrival. The photo record, delivered as part of the standard job record, shows what was in the duct before we touched it and what remained after.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but crews serve Hunters Creek Village locally and understand the neighborhood’s conditions: the mature oak canopy that drops debris into sidewall caps year-round, the post-2017 rebuilds that left original terminations in place, and the 30-50 foot attic runs that defeat every shop-vac and coupon service.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Hunters Creek Village
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every job in Hunters Creek Village starts here. We run a camera through the full vent run, from the transition hose behind your dryer to the termination cap at the roof jack or sidewall. In a 6,000 sq ft home off Voss Road, that run might stretch 42 feet through the attic, cross two trusses, and terminate under a canopy where the flapper hasn’t moved freely since 2019. The camera shows us where the flex duct has crushed flat, where lint has packed behind a sag, and whether the previous contractor installed a proper bird guard or left the opening exposed. You see the same footage we do before any work is priced. This is not a courtesy look-around. It is the basis of the written scope and the written price that follows.
Vent Cleaning and Lint Removal
Our crews use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment for mechanical agitation and negative-pressure extraction, pulling lint through the duct rather than pushing it deeper. On Hunters Creek Village’s long runs, pushing lint toward a partially blocked roof jack would pack the obstruction tighter. Negative-pressure extraction, paired with HEPA filtration at the collection point, removes the material without redistributing it into your laundry room or attic. We weigh what we remove. On that Beinhorn Road job, the scale showed over four pounds of compacted lint from a single run. The customer had replaced their heating element twice, assuming the appliance was failing. The appliance was fine. The vent was not.
Vent Rerouting
When a dryer vent run exceeds manufacturer specifications or routes through an attic where 140°F ambient temperatures have degraded the duct material, rerouting is often the correct fix. We terminate to a sidewall when structurally feasible, using rigid galvanized pipe with sealed joints rather than flexible foil. Rerouting in Hunters Creek Village typically runs $450-$780 depending on linear feet, wall penetration requirements, and whether the existing termination can be adapted. Every reroute includes a new bird guard, a documented photo record of the full new run, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the new configuration does not perform as specified, we make it right.
Bird Guard Installation and Vent Cap Replacement
The dense tree canopy around Buffalo Bayou means year-round debris and active bird nesting in unprotected terminations. We install Guardsman bird guards with mesh sizing that blocks nesting material without restricting airflow. When the existing cap has been painted shut, corroded through, or improperly flashed during a roof replacement, we replace it with a code-compliant termination matched to your duct diameter.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Hunters Creek Village
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush mechanical brushing systems, Nikro negative-pressure collectors, and Honeywell airflow verification tools. We stock Guardsman vent caps and bird guards for common Hunters Creek Village configurations, including the 4-inch galvanized terminations used on most rigid-pipe reroutes. These are not proprietary items. You can look up each manufacturer independently, verify specifications, and compare against what other contractors bring to your door. We name the brands because the equipment matters, and because a customer who researches before calling deserves that transparency.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Hunters Creek Village Homes
- Post-Harvey roof jacks left in place. Rebuilds between 2017 and 2019 often replaced interior flex runs while leaving original galvanized or cast-iron roof jacks. Those terminations corrode, trap humidity behind sheathing, and create a lint anchor point that shop-vac services never reach. The homeowner sees slow drying; the camera shows a degraded termination holding moisture against wood.
- Crushed flex duct at truss crossings. Long attic runs require support every few feet. When unsupported, the duct sags across trusses or gets compressed during insulation work. The resulting flat section reduces airflow by half or more. Lint packs behind the restriction. A dryer heating element runs longer, hotter, and closer to ignition temperature.
- Painted-shut or debris-blocked sidewall caps. Roofers, painters, and landscapers routinely seal vent caps without recognizing them. In Hunters Creek Village’s wooded lots, oak catkins, pine needles, and bird nests compound the blockage. The homeowner blames the dryer. The real problem is a cap that hasn’t opened in years.
- Vinyl transition hoses behind the dryer. The three-foot connection between your dryer and the wall duct is often vinyl or thin foil, neither of which meets current code. In a 140°F attic, these materials harden, crack, and separate. We replace them with rigid or semi-rigid metal transition duct as part of standard service.

These are actual Hunters Creek Village market ranges, not teaser figures. What moves a job toward the higher end: runs exceeding 35 feet, roof-jack terminations requiring ladder access, post-Harvey conditions requiring remediation documentation, or multi-system homes where each dryer needs independent service. What does not affect price: the neighborhood you live in, the age of your home, or whether you’ve called us before. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-vent pricing. No add-ons after the truck arrives.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hunters Creek Village
Yes. Dryer manufacturers publish a 25-foot maximum for most residential units, and every 90-degree elbow reduces that effective length by about five feet. A 42-foot run with two elbows performs as if it were 52 feet. In Hunters Creek Village’s estate homes, we regularly measure runs of 30-50 feet through 140°F attics where flexible foil duct has collapsed or sagged. Longer runs require larger diameter duct, rigid material, and proper support spacing. If your run exceeds manufacturer specs, rerouting to a closer termination is often the safer long-term fix. Call (346) 666-7165 and we’ll measure it, camera it, and put the options in writing.
It is a significant problem. Post-Harvey remediation in the Memorial Villages focused on visible water damage, not the dryer vent termination hidden under sheathing. Original roof jacks from the 1970s or 1980s were left in place while interior flex was replaced. Those old terminations corrode, trap humidity, and create lint accumulation points that a general duct cleaning does not address. If your home was remediated between 2017 and 2019 and the dryer vent was not specifically inspected, it almost certainly needs attention now. The camera will show the condition.
You receive a Documented Photo Record of every foot of the run, before and after, as part of the standard job record. We also weigh collected lint and verify airflow with a Honeywell anemometer at the termination, comparing pre-service and post-service readings in writing. If the numbers do not improve, the work is not complete. Haven Standard Clause 1 and Clause 5 require both the documentation and the verification. You do not take our word for it. You take the photo file and the airflow readings.
The combination of long attic runs, original flexible foil duct, and post-Harvey moisture degradation. Lint is combustible. A 140°F attic with a partially blocked vent creates sustained high temperature at the restriction point. The 1980s semi-custom homes in this area often have vinyl transition hoses that have hardened and cracked, exposing lint to the dryer’s ignition source. The fire starts where you cannot see it, in the attic or the wall cavity, not in the laundry room. Annual inspection and proper material replacement are the preventive measures.
Both. We use Nikro negative-pressure extraction so lint is pulled toward the collection point, not pushed toward a potentially blocked termination. HEPA filtration at the collector captures particles down to 0.3 microns. On a multi-system estate home with three or four dryers, each run is isolated and cleaned independently. The negative-pressure system prevents cross-contamination between runs. The HEPA filtration prevents redistribution into the home’s air. Both are standard on every job, not upgrades.
