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.

AfterTrusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Pearland Homeowners
Dryer vent cleaning in Pearland typically costs $150-$280 for a standard single-family home and takes 60-90 minutes from arrival to departure. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Pearland has performed this service in more than 52,000 homes since 2013, and every job starts with a written price before any work begins.
We serve homeowners across Pearland, from the newer builds in Shadow Creek Ranch to the established neighborhoods near Old Towne. The climate here doesn’t help: Gulf Coast humidity causes lint to clump and stick to vent walls more aggressively than in drier regions, and the longer vent runs common in two-story Pearland homes built after 2015 create more friction points where debris accumulates. We’ve pulled out compacted lint deposits the size of a football from vents in Silverlake and found bird nests blocking exhaust terminals in Creekside Village. Each time, we documented what we found with before-and-after photos, delivered the written price before touching a tool, and left the customer with a record they could keep.

What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service Includes
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every dryer vent cleaning starts with a full Dryer Vent Inspection of the complete exhaust path, from the back of your dryer to the exterior termination point. In Pearland homes, we regularly find crushed flex duct behind the dryer (often from pushing the unit too close to the wall), improper slope in rigid duct runs that traps moisture, and exterior caps with missing flappers that let in rain and pests. Our technician runs a borescope camera through the entire line when accessible, records the findings, and shows you the footage before proposing any work. The inspection itself is included in your written price, not billed as a separate diagnostic fee.
Vent Cleaning
Vent Cleaning is the core service: removing accumulated lint, debris, and obstruction from the full length of your dryer exhaust system. We use professional-grade equipment, including Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, to dislodge buildup without damaging the ductwork. For the long horizontal runs common in Pearland’s ranch-style homes in areas like Country Place, we may deploy a pneumatic skipper ball to break up compacted lint at elbows and low points. The work concludes with airflow testing to verify the system meets manufacturer specifications, typically 1,500-2,000 feet per minute at the terminal.
Lint Removal
Lint removal addresses the material that escapes your dryer’s internal filter and collects in the vent path over months of use. In Pearland, where many homeowners run multiple loads daily during hurricane season when outdoor drying isn’t practical, we’ve measured lint accumulation rates of 1-2 inches per year in heavily used systems. Our crews use HEPA-contained extraction so no lint enters your home during the process. The lint we remove is bagged and shown to you, not hidden in a vacuum drum, so you can see exactly what was restricting your vent.
Vent Rerouting
Vent rerouting becomes necessary when the original installation path is unsafe, inefficient, or no longer code-compliant. We’ve rerouted vents in Pearland homes where the original builder ran 25 feet of flex duct with three elbows through an unconditioned attic, creating a fire hazard and extending drying times to 90+ minutes per load. Our reroutes use rigid metal duct (never plastic or foil flex in wall cavities), minimize elbows, and terminate with proper clearance from soffits and windows per IRC Section M1502. Every reroute includes a new written price, a revised photo record, and the same 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Bird Guard Installation
Bird guard installation prevents nesting in your exterior vent terminal, a problem we see frequently in Pearland’s greener subdivisions like Sunrise Lakes and Highland Crossing where mature trees attract cavity-nesting species. Our Guardsman-brand bird guards use 1/2-inch mesh that blocks birds and rodents while maintaining proper airflow, unlike the cheap hardware-store versions that clog with lint in six months. Installation takes 15-20 minutes, is photographed before and after, and carries the same written warranty as our cleaning work.
Vent Cap Replacement
Vent cap replacement fixes the exterior termination point, which in Pearland’s coastal environment often corrodes, loses its damper flapper, or gets damaged by lawn equipment. A missing or stuck flapper lets in rain (we’ve found standing water in duct runs after storms), humid outside air that promotes mold growth, and pests. We stock replacement caps in standard 4-inch sizes and can source specialty terminals for high-wind or aesthetic-sensitive installations. The replacement is photographed, the old cap is shown to you, and the new installation is airflow-tested before we leave.

Brands We Service for Dryer Vent Cleaning
We clean and service dryer vents connected to all major appliance brands. For Whirlpool and Maytag systems, common in the production homes built across Pearland from 2015-2022, we’ve developed specific protocols for their high-capacity vent paths and stock the transition duct adapters their installers often omit. Samsung and LG vent configurations, increasingly common in the custom builds of Westwood and Lakes of Highland Glen, frequently require longer brush extensions due to their rear-center exhaust placements, which we carry standard on every truck.
Whether your dryer is a GE, Bosch, Speed Queen, or any other make, we can service the vent path. The vent system operates independently of the appliance brand, and our inspection process identifies the specific configuration, materials, and condition of your exhaust run before we propose any work. If your dryer itself needs repair, we’ll tell you honestly, document what we found, and you can decide whether to call an appliance technician or replace the unit.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning Right Now
- Clothes take longer than one cycle to dry. A load of towels that previously dried in 45 minutes now needs 70 minutes or a second cycle. This happens because restricted airflow can’t carry away moisture efficiently. In Pearland’s humid climate, the problem accelerates as lint traps atmospheric moisture, further reducing throughput.
- The dryer exterior or laundry room feels unusually hot. The dryer’s designed to exhaust hot, moist air through the vent. When that path is blocked, heat radiates backward into the room. We’ve measured laundry room temperatures of 95°F+ in Pearland homes with severely clogged vents, and that excess heat stresses the dryer’s thermostat and heating element.
- You smell burning or mustiness when the dryer runs. Lint is highly flammable; the Consumer Product Safety Commission attributes approximately 2,900 residential dryer fires annually to lint ignition. A musty smell usually means moisture is trapped in the vent, promoting microbial growth in the duct walls. Both require immediate attention.
- Visible lint accumulates around the exterior vent cap. If lint is blowing out around the cap edges or the damper flapper is stuck open with debris, the vent is backing up. In Pearland neighborhoods with HOA maintenance requirements, like those in Shadow Creek Ranch, this visible accumulation can also trigger compliance notices.
- It’s been more than 12 months since your last cleaning. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual dryer vent cleaning for typical residential use. Households with multiple loads daily, pet owners (pet hair combines with lint to form dense mats), and homes with long vent runs should consider shorter intervals. We date-stamp every photo record so you know exactly when you were last serviced.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process - Step by Step
- 1
Arrival and scope confirmation. Our technician arrives in a marked CleanRun vehicle, introduces themselves by name, and confirms the work described in your written estimate. We verify dryer location, vent path routing, and any access constraints before touching equipment. Haven Standard Clause 3 requires verified crews, and you’ll see the same uniform and ID badge on every visit.
- 2
Pre-service inspection and photo documentation. We disconnect the dryer from the wall transition duct, insert a borescope camera when the duct geometry allows, and photograph the interior condition of the vent path from both ends. These images become the “before” portion of your Documented Photo Record. We also test baseline airflow with an anemometer to establish a quantitative benchmark.
- 3
Mechanical cleaning with professional equipment. Using Rotobrush rotary brushes sized to your duct diameter, we agitate and dislodge lint deposits from the full length of the run. For rigid metal duct, we may add pneumatic skipper balls at elbows where brush contact is limited. Nikro negative-air HEPA extractors capture all dislodged material at the point of generation, so no lint enters your home’s air.
- 4
Post-cleaning verification and photo documentation. We re-run the camera and photograph the cleaned duct interior for your “after” record. Airflow is retested at the exterior terminal; we expect minimum 50% improvement over baseline, and typically see 100-300% increases in severely clogged systems. The technician shows you both photo sets and the airflow numbers before requesting final approval.
- 5
Written completion, warranty delivery, and reassembly. You receive a printed job record with the before-and-after photos, airflow test results, scope of work performed, and your 365-Day Done Right Promise documentation. We reconnect your dryer, verify proper operation, and leave the work area as we found it. The entire process typically takes 60-90 minutes for a standard single-family home in Pearland.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Pearland?
A standard Dryer Vent Cleaning - Pearland runs $150-$220 for a single-story home with a straightforward vent path of 15 feet or less. Two-story homes with longer runs, typically found in newer Pearland subdivisions like Lakes of Highland Glen and Westwood, range from $200-$280 due to additional access requirements and extended cleaning time. Vent rerouting, when needed, starts at $350 and is quoted separately after inspection. Bird guard installation is $75-$125 depending on terminal type and roof access requirements.
Several factors affect your specific price: total vent length, number of elbows (each 90-degree bend reduces effective airflow and complicates cleaning), whether the run is accessible from a crawl space or requires attic access, and the condition of existing materials (crushed or deteriorated duct may need replacement). Homes in Pearland’s older sections near Old Towne sometimes have original installations that don’t meet current code and require more extensive work than a simple cleaning.
What your price includes: the full inspection, mechanical cleaning of the complete vent path, airflow testing before and after, your Documented Photo Record, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. There is no per-foot surcharge, no “disposal fee,” no separate trip charge. The price we write is the price you pay.
How to avoid overpaying: be wary of $79-$99 coupon offers that arrive as postcards. These typically cover only a superficial cleaning of the first few feet of duct, with upsells for “deep cleaning” or “system sanitizing” once the technician is in your home. CleanRun’s Haven Standard Clause 1 prohibits this practice; our written price covers the complete job, and we photograph every foot of duct to prove it was done.

Frequently Asked Questions - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pearland
Dryer vent cleaning is the mechanical removal of lint and debris from the complete exhaust path between your clothes dryer and the outside of your home. You need it because lint accumulation restricts airflow, forces your dryer to work harder and longer, increases energy costs, and creates a documented fire hazard. In Pearland’s humid climate, the risk compounds because moisture-laden lint adheres more stubbornly to duct walls and can support microbial growth.
A standard dryer vent cleaning takes 60-90 minutes from the technician’s arrival to departure. Complex jobs, such as two-story homes with attic-accessible vents or systems requiring partial disassembly for access, may extend to two hours. We schedule appointments with sufficient buffer so the crew is never rushing to the next job, and we confirm the expected duration when we deliver your written price.
Most Pearland homeowners pay $150-$280 for complete dryer vent cleaning, depending on vent length, accessibility, and configuration. See our Dryer Vent Cleaning cost guide for full pricing details. Single-story homes with short, straight runs fall at the lower end; two-story homes with extended ductwork or multiple elbows fall at the higher end. We deliver a written, itemized price before any work begins, and that price does not change unless you authorize additional scope. Call (346) 253-1822 for your specific estimate.
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning addresses the exhaust path, not the appliance itself, so all brands are serviceable. We regularly clean vents connected to Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, GE, Bosch, and Speed Queen units in Pearland homes. If our inspection reveals a problem with the dryer rather than the vent, we’ll document what we found and recommend whether an appliance repair technician would be more appropriate for your situation.
We do not advertise same-day or emergency dispatch for dryer vent cleaning. This is a scheduled maintenance service, and our booking typically runs 3-5 business days. If your dryer is completely non-functional due to a blocked vent, call us and we’ll prioritize your appointment within our available slots. For active fire or carbon monoxide concerns, evacuate and call emergency services first.
Every dryer vent cleaning is backed by CleanRun’s 365-Day Done Right Promise, documented in writing on your job record. If airflow tests below the post-cleaning benchmark within 12 months, or if you experience any problem attributable to our workmanship, we return and correct it at no charge. Haven Standard Clause 6 governs warranty claims, and there is no manager approval required, the promise is a written contractual obligation.
Clear a path to your dryer and remove any items stored on or immediately around it. The technician needs approximately 3 feet of working space on all sides. If your dryer is in a tight closet, you may need to temporarily relocate nearby items. Do not run a load immediately before our arrival, the duct should be cool for safe handling. We’ll handle all disconnection, reconnection, and cleanup. Call (346) 253-1822 when you’re ready to schedule.
