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 know these homes. Meadows Place incorporated in 1983 specifically to preserve its character as a single-use residential enclave, and nearly every one of its roughly 1,500 homes was built within the same 1975-1985 construction window. That means virtually the entire city’s dryer vent infrastructure is now 40-50 years old simultaneously. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team has worked this exact housing stock long enough to know where the failures hide before we pull the first panel.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Katy Is Meadows Place’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
CleanRun has held the same practice since 2013: written price before work starts, documented photo record when we leave. Meadows Place homeowners have responded to that transparency. Our reviews from this city consistently cite the before-and-after images and the fact that our technicians explain what they found in plain language.
We don’t dispatch to Meadows Place from a satellite office three counties away. Scheduling and crew routing are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth operations center, which means Meadows Place jobs get local crew assignment with direct accountability, not a third-party contractor network. Haven Standard Clause 3, Verified Crews, requires background-checked, uniformed technicians identified by name before arrival. That’s the standard on every Meadows Place visit.
Our response time to Meadows Place is typically next-business-day for non-urgent scheduling, with same-week availability for most routine dryer vent cleaning requests. We don’t manufacture urgency. We do show up when we say we will, with the equipment and pricing already confirmed in writing.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Meadows Place
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Meadows Place job begins with camera inspection of the full lint pathway, from the dryer connection to the exterior wall cap. In a city where nearly every home was built between 1975 and 1985, we expect to find original 4-inch flex runs, unsealed attic chases, and wall caps that have been missing or broken for years. The camera shows us exactly what we’re dealing with before we quote a dollar figure. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires that written price; we don’t deviate from it.
Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning process uses agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction to remove lint buildup without pushing debris into wall cavities. In Meadows Place, the buildup is often extraordinary. Houston’s Gulf Coast humidity belt, with annual average relative humidity near 75% and AC running from roughly March through November, means moist lint compacts and hardens in these aging runs. We’ve extracted vent pathways packed solid with decades of material. The photo record shows the difference between our work and what a shop vac leaves behind.
Lint Removal
Lint removal in Meadows Place homes frequently reveals more than lint. The original fiberglass duct board and early flex-duct in these homes shares attic space with dryer vents, and we’ve found cases where a compromised dryer vent has been pulling attic air and lint back into the HVAC supply system. That’s not a dryer problem anymore. It’s an indoor air quality problem. We document what we find, quote the scope to fix it, and photograph every run before and after.
Vent Rerouting
When slab movement or a poorly designed original route has crushed or disconnected a vent run, cleaning alone won’t solve it. Houston’s notorious expansive clay soils cause ongoing slab movement in these older Meadows Place homes, and we regularly find partially separated or fully disconnected duct joints in attic runs. Vent rerouting relocates the pathway to a stable, accessible route with proper slope and support. We quote this work in writing, with a clear explanation of why rerouting beats repeated cleaning of a failed path.
Vent Cap Replacement
Original wall caps on Meadows Place homes are typically corroded, missing louvers, or gone entirely. A missing cap invites birds, wasps, and rain directly into the lint pathway. We stock replacement caps sized for standard 4-inch terminations and install them as part of the documented scope. No add-on surprise. The price includes the cap, the installation, and the photo showing it sealed.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Meadows Place Homes
- Forty years of compacted lint in original flex runs. The 1975-1985 construction window means most Meadows Place dryer vents have never been fully cleaned. Moist Gulf Coast humidity hardens lint into a dense mat that restricts airflow and extends drying cycles.
- Slab-shifted vent runs crushed or disconnected by expansive clay soil. Houston’s clay soils shift continuously, and we’ve found vent runs pinched in joist bays or separated at slab exits. The dryer still runs, but moist, lint-laden air leaks into wall cavities instead of exiting the home.
- Missing or broken wall caps allowing pest intrusion and water entry. Original caps have decades of sun and rain exposure. Birds nest in the termination. Wasps build paper colonies inside the louvered housing. The homeowner notices only when drying times double.
- Dryer vents pulling attic air and debris into HVAC ductwork. In these homes, the dryer vent and supply ducts share unsealed attic chases. A compromised vent connection becomes a return air path, circulating insulation fibers and attic contaminants through the living space.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Meadows Place, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Meadows Place runs $180-$240 for a single-story home with accessible termination and intact wall cap. Vent rerouting, cap replacement, or extensive lint extraction from a long-neglected run pushes the range to $280-$340. We quote the exact figure in writing before starting, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing, no coupon bait, no invoice inflation once the truck is in your driveway.
Factors that affect your specific price: length of the vent run, accessibility of the termination point, condition of the wall cap, and whether slab movement has crushed or disconnected the pathway. We inspect first, quote second, and work third. Estimates are free. Call (346) 666-7165 for yours.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Meadows Place
The most reliable indicator is extended drying time combined with a laundry room that feels unusually humid during cycles. Our camera inspection confirms it. We feed a scope through the lint pathway and look for pinched flex, separated joints, or lint accumulation where airflow has stalled. Call (346) 666-7165 to schedule an inspection; estimates are free.
Yes, and the risk increases with the age of the vent and the density of lint accumulation. The U.S. Fire Administration identifies clothes dryer fires as a leading residential fire cause, with failure to clean as the primary factor. In Meadows Place, where original vents are now 40-plus years old, we routinely find lint packed to near-total obstruction. Our vent cleaning service removes the material and documents the condition of the run, cap, and connections. We quote any needed repairs in writing before proceeding.
It affects the vent structure, which determines whether cleaning alone is sufficient. Houston’s expansive clay soils shift the slab, which shifts joist bays, which crushes or disconnects vent runs that were never designed to accommodate movement. We find this on a significant share of Meadows Place inspections. When slab movement has damaged the pathway, we explain that in the written quote and recommend vent rerouting as the durable fix.
Yes, and we often recommend it. The same 1975-1985 construction window that aged your dryer vent aged your HVAC ductwork. Our crews carry Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies equipment for both services, and combining visits avoids a second trip charge. We quote each scope separately in writing so you see exactly what each system needs. Call (346) 666-7165 to discuss bundling.
Camera inspection of the full run, written quote under Haven Standard Clause 1, agitation cleaning with negative-pressure extraction, wall cap inspection and replacement if needed, and a Documented Photo Record delivered as part of the standard job file.
