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’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning team that serves Southlake from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, dispatching crews who know the difference between a standard suburban call and the rural-property reality this city still holds. Southlake’s large lots, unpaved driveways, and detached structures create venting challenges you won’t find in tighter developments just north. Our technicians carry the equipment for long runs, outbuilding caps, and the heavy lint-plus-dust loading that comes from open land and black-clay roads.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Fort Worth Is Southlake’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard since 2013, and Southlake homeowners have been part of that record from the start. Our 52,000+ jobs across North Texas include hundreds in the Carillon neighborhood, along Randol Mill Road, and throughout the Timarron area - every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left.
Reviews from Southlake customers consistently cite two things: the before-and-after photos they can show their spouse, and the fact that our crew identified problems they didn’t know existed. One homeowner near Bicentennial Park told us the previous company never mentioned their crushed transition hose behind the dryer. We photographed it, explained it, and fixed it under the same written scope.
Response time to Southlake is typically same-week, with scheduling coordinated from our DFW office. We don’t promise same-day because dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled maintenance job, not an emergency - and we’d rather do the inspection right than rush a crew past the pre-work camera check that Haven Standard Clause 2 requires.
Our local knowledge matters because Southlake’s housing stock is unique. The custom homes built during the 1990s and 2000s boom - many 4,000-8,000+ sq ft with multiple laundry locations - often have vent runs that traverse attics, terminate at detached garages, or serve guest quarters across sprawling lots. A technician who treats every job like a 12-foot through-wall vent will miss the real problem.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Southlake

Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Southlake job starts here. We run a camera through the full lint pathway, from the dryer’s transition connection to the exterior cap, documenting what we find before quoting any work. In Southlake’s older custom homes, we pay particular attention to boot connections where the region’s shrink-swell black clay may have shifted slab foundations enough to separate flex-duct collars - a failure mode hidden inside finished ceilings that can pull attic insulation into the vent stream. The inspection includes airflow measurement at the exterior cap, and the photo record becomes part of your job documentation.

Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning uses agitation tools and source removal under negative pressure - not a shop vacuum pushed into the wall. For Southlake’s longer runs, especially those serving outbuildings or detached garages on large lots near the city’s rural edges, we bring extension-capable equipment that maintains proper suction across 30, 40, or 50 feet of duct. The Rotobrush system we deploy is sized to the run length we measured during inspection. Every cleaning concludes with a post-work airflow test and photo documentation of the cleared pathway.

Lint Removal
Lint removal in Southlake is rarely a simple trap cleaning. The combination of heavy fabric use in large households, rural dust loading from unpaved roads and open pasture, and long vent runs means lint accumulates throughout the pathway - not just at the screen. We’ve found packed lint masses at exterior caps buried behind landscaping or mounted on outbuilding walls where the homeowner never sees them. Our process removes the bulk material mechanically, then extracts fine residue with negative-pressure equipment. We show you the volume removed, photographed, as part of your documented record.

Vent Rerouting
Some Southlake homes were built with vent runs that no longer make sense - too long, too many elbows, or terminated in locations that collect debris. A reroute may be the right solution when cleaning alone won’t achieve safe airflow. We quote rerouting with a written scope and fixed price under Haven Standard Clause 1, using materials and methods that comply with IRC M1502. Every reroute includes the same photo documentation as our cleaning work.

Bird Guard Installation
Southlake’s spread-out properties with exterior caps on outbuildings, detached garages, and guest quarters are prime targets for bird and rodent nesting - especially the screened or flap-style caps that offer easy access. We install Guardsman bird guards designed to block entry while maintaining proper exhaust airflow. At that 4,800 sq ft home in the Carillon neighborhood with a long rear vent run to an outbuilding, our tech ran a camera down the lint pathway and found the flexible transition crushed behind the dryer plus a packed exterior cap screened over with debris. We used agitation tools and source removal under negative pressure, re-clamped the transition, and replaced the cap with a Guardsman bird guard so the rural dust wouldn’t clog it again. The homeowner’s dryer cycle time dropped noticeably and the vent pulled strong on the first test.

Vent Cap Replacement
Exterior vent caps in Southlake take a beating from UV exposure, wind-driven black-clay dust, and the physical impact of repeated cleaning. A damaged cap - cracked flapper, missing screen, or improper backdraft damper - compromises the entire system. We stock replacement caps suited to Southlake’s conditions, including low-profile designs that resist debris accumulation and proper termination heights for flood-prone areas near Grapevine Lake tributaries.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Southlake
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro negative-pressure extractors, and Guardsman vent protection products - brands you can look up independently before agreeing to any work. We stock Guardsman bird guards and common vent cap sizes locally, so Southlake customers aren’t waiting on parts for standard replacements. For specialized components in older Southlake homes, our Dallas-Fort Worth office maintains supplier relationships that typically turn around non-stock items in 24-48 hours. We name our equipment because Haven Standard Clause 4 - Transparent Methods - requires it, and because a homeowner researching before they call deserves to know what will be running inside their walls.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Southlake Homes

- Long exterior runs on large rural lots sag and collect lint. A 35-foot run to a detached garage or outbuilding loses airflow velocity at every low point, creating lint dams that only a camera inspection reveals. The homeowner cleans the trap religiously and still gets slow drying because the bulk of the pathway is blocked past the first elbow.
- Rural dust and cedar pollen caking the exterior vent cap. Southlake’s unpaved roads and open land generate fine black-clay dust that combines with December-through-February cedar pollen to form a dense mat on exterior screens. The cap looks fine from ground level on a spread-out property, but airflow is choked to a fraction of specification.
- Screened or flap-style caps that birds and rodents nest in. These caps are often mounted on outbuildings or detached garages the homeowner rarely approaches. A partial nest reduces airflow gradually; a complete blockage forces lint back into the laundry room and creates a genuine fire hazard.
- Crushed or kinked flexible transitions behind the dryer. In Southlake’s large homes, dryers are sometimes pushed tight against walls to maximize floor space, pinching the transition hose into an oval or complete collapse. The dryer works harder, runs hotter, and the homeowner assumes the vent needs cleaning when it actually needs proper reconnection.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Southlake, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Southlake - single-family home, through-wall run under 15 feet, one story - runs $180-$240. Longer runs, multi-story vertical vents, or detached-structure terminations add complexity: these typically fall in the $290-$380 range. Vent rerouting, cap replacement, or bird guard installation are quoted separately with written prices before work starts, usually $150-$280 for the component work.
What moves a Southlake job toward the higher end: run length over 25 feet, multiple elbows, roof or outbuilding termination requiring ladder or extended access, significant lint compaction requiring extended agitation time, or transition hose replacement. We don’t quote per-vent or per-foot pricing - Haven Standard Clause 1 requires one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any panel comes off.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Southlake

Every 12-18 months for Southlake properties on large lots with unpaved access roads or open land, versus the 24-month interval that suffices for tighter suburban lots. The combination of longer vent runs, heavier dust loading from black-clay roads, and exterior caps on outbuildings that don’t get daily visual inspection means lint and debris accumulate faster here than in Trophy Club or Westlake. Call (817) 520-8797 to schedule - estimates are free.
Restricted airflow is the cause in 90% of cases we see in Southlake. The restriction is usually lint accumulation past the trap, a crushed transition hose behind the dryer, or a debris-choked exterior cap - often on a detached garage or outbuilding the homeowner rarely inspects. Longer vent runs common in Southlake’s large-lot homes compound the problem because they have lower airflow velocity to begin with. A camera inspection finds the exact location. Call (817) 520-8797 for a written quote.
Yes, if they have their own dryer and vent run. Many Southlake homes have pool houses, guest quarters, or workshop buildings with independent laundry facilities, and those vents are typically longer and more exposed to the elements than the main-house run. We clean and document each system separately, with its own written price and photo record. Call (817) 520-8797 to discuss your property’s specific layout.
Yes, and we recommend it for most Southlake properties with exterior caps on outbuildings or detached structures. We install Guardsman bird guards designed to block nesting while maintaining proper exhaust airflow. The guard is quoted with a written price before installation and photographed as part of your job record. Call (817) 520-8797 to add this to your service.
Yes, because Southlake’s rural edges and large-lot custom homes create conditions most standard suburban calls don’t match: longer runs, outbuilding terminations, heavier dust and pollen loading, and caps that aren’t visible from the house. Our crews bring extension equipment and plan extra time for the inspection phase. The Haven Standard protocol is the same, but the field execution is adapted to what we actually find on Southlake properties. Call (817) 520-8797 - we’ll ask the right questions when you call and confirm what equipment to dispatch.
