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 Cloverleaf
Dryer vent cleaning in Cloverleaf, TX typically runs $180-$340 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in under two hours and a written price delivered before any work starts. If your home took on water during Hurricane Harvey or sits in one of the older neighborhoods off Beltway 8 East, your vent run may carry hidden bayou silt beneath the lint layer that standard brushing won’t touch. Call (346) 248-1474 for a free written estimate.
We serve Cloverleaf from our Houston office, with crews running daily routes through the 77015 ZIP and surrounding Harris County corridors. Our technicians know the difference between a routine lint extraction and a post-flood vent run that needs documented replacement, and we carry the inspection cameras to prove it on the spot.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning The Woodlands Is Cloverleaf’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve worked Cloverleaf homes since 2013, and the pattern is consistent: post-war ranches and split-levels off Wallisville Road and Woodforest Boulevard with original 1960s and 1970s flexible ductwork that has sagged, kinked, or taken on moisture in the decades since. Our Cloverleaf customers aren’t looking for a quick vacuum job. They want to see what was inside their vent before anyone touches it.
Our documented photo record, included on every visit, shows the interior of every duct run before and after work. No manager approval needed. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is written on every job, not just stated in marketing copy. If the work isn’t right, we make it right.
All technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. The license number is published on this page, not buried in a footer. We don’t do “call for a quote” - Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before any work starts, every time, no exceptions.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Cloverleaf
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Cloverleaf job begins with a camera inspection, not a guess. We run a Nikro video scope through the full vent run, documenting what we find before quoting any work. In Harvey-impacted homes near Greens Bayou or the eastern tributaries, this step is non-negotiable: metallic vent runs can look clean on the exterior while carrying a hidden film of contaminated silt that only the camera reveals. The inspection footage becomes part of your documented job record, timestamped and delivered with your invoice. If you’re filing or supplementing an insurance claim, this documentation gives your adjuster dated evidence of pre-existing contamination versus new damage.
Vent Cleaning & Lint Removal
Standard lint removal in Cloverleaf uses Rotobrush agitation tools under negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration - not a shop vac pushed into the wall. The negative-pressure system, also called suction-based cleaning, pulls dislodged debris toward the collection unit rather than blowing it into your laundry room or attic. For post-flood homes, we pair this with moisture meters at the flex joints: if the insulation batting surrounding the duct tests above 16% moisture content, we flag that section for replacement rather than cleaning. You’ll see the meter readings and the camera footage before we proceed. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team has extracted fibrous mats of lint mixed with dried bayou silt that reduced airflow by more than 60% - the homeowner’s dryer had been running 90-minute cycles for months without realizing the blockage wasn’t ordinary lint.
Vent Rerouting
Cloverleaf’s low-lying terrain and post-Harvey reconstruction created a specific rerouting problem: new vent runs installed through attic or crawl-space sections that flooded but were never fully remediated. The flex duct insulation soaked up contaminated water and dried in place, leaving a mold substrate that continues to off-gas. We see this in homes near the San Jacinto River tributaries and in the older subdivisions south of Uvalde Road. Our rerouting protocol includes replacing any water-damaged flex insulation in the path, not just the exposed duct section. We photograph the old run, the new materials, and the completed installation. If your original vent was crushed by post-Harvey reconstruction work or rerouted improperly by a previous contractor, we document the code violation and the correction for your records.
Bird Guard Installation & Vent Cap Replacement
Cloverleaf’s humid attic environment - Houston’s coastal subtropical humidity among the highest of any major U.S. metro - causes condensation on vent exteriors that standard bird guards don’t account for. Lint clumps with moisture at the cap and blocks airflow within a single cooling season. We install Guardsman vent caps with corrosion-resistant hardware and proper clearance specifications for high-humidity zones, and we document the installation angle and clearance with photos. Cap replacement runs $85-$140 including hardware and labor.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Cloverleaf Homes
- Hidden flood silt in post-Harvey flex runs. Homeowners and some technicians skip camera inspection on post-Harvey homes, so silt-contaminated flex runs get surface-cleaned but continue shedding mold spores into the laundry area. The exterior duct looks clean; the interior tells a different story.
- Lint clumping from humid attic condensation. Bird guards installed without accounting for Cloverleaf’s humid attic condensation cause lint to clump and block the vent cap within a single cooling season. We measure airflow before and after to confirm the fix.
- Crushed or kinked flex in 1960s-1970s housing stock. Cloverleaf’s working-class single-family homes from the post-war eastern expansion often have original flexible duct that has sagged at ceiling penetrations or been crushed by stored items in attics. A kinked 4-inch flex run performs like a 2-inch pipe.
- Improper rerouting through unremediated flood zones. Vent rerouting through low attic sections that flooded during Harvey is sometimes done without replacing the water-damaged flex insulation, leaving a mold substrate that recontaminates the new run within months.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cloverleaf
You probably can’t without a camera inspection. The exterior vent cap and first few feet of duct often look normal, but a Nikro video scope reveals the fibrous mat of lint mixed with dried bayou silt that standard brushing misses. If your home took on water during Harvey and the ductwork was never fully replaced, we recommend starting with a documented inspection before any cleaning quote. Call (346) 248-1474 to schedule - estimates are free.
Yes. Cloverleaf sits directly downwind of Ship Channel refineries and petrochemical plants, and residential systems here pull in elevated concentrations of industrial particulates that suburban Houston neighborhoods to the west don’t face at the same level. These particulates mix with lint and create denser, more adhesive buildup. We recommend annual inspection for Cloverleaf homes, with cleaning intervals based on what the camera shows rather than a fixed calendar.
Sometimes, but not always. If the flex duct insulation surrounding the run soaked up contaminated water and dried in place, cleaning the interior surface leaves the mold substrate intact. We test with moisture meters and visual inspection; if the insulation batting tests above 16% moisture or shows visible mold, we document the finding and recommend section replacement. The before/after photo record goes to you and, if needed, your insurer.
We install Guardsman vent caps and bird guards with corrosion-resistant hardware specified for high-humidity coastal zones. The installation includes documented photos of cap angle, clearance, and airflow test results. Guardsman components are stocked locally for Cloverleaf jobs.
Every job produces a timestamped photo record: camera footage of the interior before work, meter readings if moisture or contamination is found, photos of any replaced sections with old materials visible, and airflow measurements before and after. This documentation package is delivered with your invoice and can be submitted directly to your adjuster. We’ve supported Cloverleaf homeowners in supplementing claims where post-Harvey vent contamination was initially overlooked.
