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 Colleyville
Dryer vent cleaning in Colleyville typically runs $180-$340 for a standard single-vent system, with most jobs completed in 90 minutes to two hours and documented with before-and-after photos of the full lint pathway. If your Colleyville home sits near Cheek-Sparger Road or John McCain Road, where DFW approach corridor exhaust deposits a distinctive carbon-rich film on exterior vent caps, you’ll want a crew that recognizes that sooty buildup for what it is - not mold, but combustion particulate that accelerates clogging. Call (817) 520-8797 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1.
Our crews serve Colleyville from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, with scheduling coordinated for local routes through Bedford, Southlake, and Grapevine. We’ve worked the large custom homes in the 76034 zip since 2013, and we know the difference between a 15-foot straight run in a 1980s ranch and a 42-foot multi-elbow path through a 6,000-square-foot home with three HVAC zones. That local familiarity means we arrive with the right equipment - Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro negative-pressure HEPA extractors - and we don’t waste your time figuring out your floor plan.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Fort Worth Is Colleyville’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Colleyville homeowners research before they call. We built our company around that fact.
Our reputation here rests on documentation, not promises. Every dryer vent cleaning in Colleyville concludes with a photo record of the interior duct walls before and after - delivered as a standard job record, not an upsell. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies in writing on every job: if the work isn’t right, we make it right. No manager approval required. That’s Haven Standard Clause 5.
We’ve served more than 52,000 homes since 2013, every one with a written price agreed before a panel came off. Colleyville customers specifically cite that transparency in their feedback - the absence of a “call for pricing” runaround, the exact number on paper before the truck rolls. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they’re identified by name before arrival.
Response times to Colleyville neighborhoods are typically next-day or two-day, sometimes same-week depending on route density through Southlake and Grapevine. We don’t manufacture urgency. Dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled maintenance job, and we’d rather do it right than do it rushed.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Colleyville
Dryer Vent Inspection
A proper inspection in Colleyville starts with a camera. In homes above 3,500 square feet - common here - the dryer vent run can stretch 35 to 45 feet with multiple elbows, often sharing a chase with HVAC returns. We feed a scope through the full lint pathway and photograph every turn, every sag in flex duct, and every accumulation point. The camera showed a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow in a Cheek-Sparger Road home last month; the homeowner had no idea because the dryer still worked, just slower. That inspection takes 20-30 minutes and produces images you can see before deciding on cleaning.
Vent Cleaning
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses source-removal methods: mechanical agitation with Rotobrush tools to dislodge lint and particulate, followed by Nikro negative-pressure HEPA extraction to pull it out of the system rather than pushing it deeper. In Colleyville’s larger homes, this matters more. A 150-foot duct run with degraded liner from the 1990s construction boom can’t handle aggressive compressed-air methods without risking liner tear. We match the tool to the duct condition we documented in inspection.
Lint Removal
Lint in Colleyville vents isn’t just fabric fiber. In the flight path corridors, we regularly find a dense felt-like plug of lint mixed with carbon particulate - black, oily, and more stubborn than standard household lint. High-pressure agitation alone won’t break it free. We combine mechanical brushing with controlled airflow to extract the full plug without leaving residue on duct walls. The lint we remove is collected in a sealed HEPA drum, not your laundry room floor.
Vent Rerouting
Some Colleyville homes, particularly the deep custom builds off John McCain Road, were designed with dryer vents routed through inaccessible attic spaces or behind finished basement ceilings. When the run exceeds 35 feet or has more than two 90-degree turns, rerouting to a shorter exterior wall often improves drying performance more than cleaning ever could. We map the new path, quote it in writing, and pull permits if the route crosses fire-rated assemblies.
Bird Guard Installation
Exterior vent caps in Colleyville need protection from starlings and sparrows, especially in neighborhoods with mature oak canopy. We install Guardsman-rated bird guards that maintain airflow while blocking nesting material. In the DFW corridor areas, we pair this with vent caps designed to shed sooty film buildup rather than trapping it against the mesh.
Vent Cap Replacement
The standard plastic vent cap degrades in Texas UV within 5-7 years. We stock metal replacement caps with integrated dampers that close positively when the dryer shuts off - a detail that matters in Colleyville’s longer cooling season, when conditioned air escaping through a stuck-open flap wastes measurable energy.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Colleyville Homes
- Assuming a single vent run: Colleyville homes with multi-zone systems and long flex-duct runs often have dryer vents that share a chase with HVAC returns. A partial clean misses lint trapped behind shared elbows, and the dryer keeps working harder while the hidden buildup becomes a fire risk.
- Ignoring the exterior cap: The sooty film from DFW approach exhaust can clog bird guards and vent flaps on Cheek-Sparger and John McCain corridors faster than in neighborhoods even a mile north. Homeowners clean the lint screen religiously and never think to check the exterior.
- Relying on visual inspection only: In 150-foot-plus duct runs common to 3,500-7,000 sq ft Colleyville homes, a camera inspection is required to see the full lint pathway. Short-sighted cleans leave dangerous buildup near the air handler where the run terminates.
- Missing the flex-duct degradation: Colleyville’s housing stock from the 1990s-2000s is hitting the 20-30 year mark where flex-duct liner degrades, sags, and traps lint in low spots. Cleaning without inspecting liner condition is temporary relief at best.

What moves a Colleyville job toward the higher end: run length over 35 feet, multiple elbows, shared chases with HVAC returns that require access panel removal, and liner degradation needing section replacement. We quote by the system, not by the vent. A home with three laundry areas gets three written prices, not a per-vent multiplier that balloons at checkout.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Colleyville
Most Colleyville homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months. Homes near Cheek-Sparger Road or John McCain Road, under the DFW approach corridors, often see faster exterior cap clogging from sooty particulate and benefit from annual inspection even if full cleaning isn’t always required. Call (817) 520-8797 and we’ll put you on a schedule that matches your actual buildup rate, not a calendar scare tactic.
It’s probably not mold. In Colleyville’s flight path corridors, we regularly find a dark, carbon-laden film on exterior vent caps and bird guards - combustion particulate from aircraft exhaust that accumulates faster than in neighborhoods a mile north of the runways. It reappears after cleaning, which distinguishes it from mold growth that would need moisture and organic substrate. We document this with photos so you know what you’re looking at. If you’re seeing this pattern, call (817) 520-8797 for a camera inspection that’ll show you the interior condition too.
It can. Large Colleyville homes with multi-zone systems often have dryer vents routed through shared chases with HVAC returns, or with flex-duct runs that exceed 35 feet to reach the nearest exterior wall. More systems usually means more square footage, more elbows, and more places for lint to accumulate out of sight. We price by the vent system, not a flat house rate, and we inspect every run with a camera before quoting. The written price covers the full pathway to the exterior wall - no per-vent add-ons after we arrive.
Source removal through the full run, not just the accessible section. A homeowner with a brush kit can reach maybe 10 feet from the laundry room; in Colleyville’s typical 35-foot runs with multiple elbows, that leaves two-thirds of the lint pathway untouched. We use mechanical agitation and negative-pressure HEPA extraction to pull debris out without pushing it deeper, and we photograph the before and after so you can verify the work. We also inspect flex-duct liner condition and exterior cap function - both common failure points in 1990s-2000s Colleyville homes. For safety: dryer vents involve no high-tension components, but working in attic chases and on ladders to reach exterior caps carries fall risk; our crews are equipped and insured for it under Haven Standard Clause 3.
Yes. We regularly reroute dryer vents in Colleyville’s deeper custom homes where the original path runs through finished basement ceilings or inaccessible attic spaces, often exceeding 35 feet with too many elbows. We map a shorter route to an exterior wall, quote it in writing, and handle any permit requirements for fire-rated assemblies. Rerouting typically runs $450-$780 in Colleyville, depending on path length and wall construction. Call (817) 520-8797 to schedule a routing assessment with your next inspection.
