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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning The Woodlands Is West University Place’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve worked in West University Place since 2013, and the pattern is unmistakable: this city has a split personality in its housing stock. One block holds a 2022 custom rebuild with pristine flex duct; the next holds a 1954 ranch on Wakeforest with original fiberglass-lined sheet metal that hasn’t seen a professional in decades. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team knows how to read both.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We don’t send subcontractors. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, not as a verbal assurance that disappears when the truck pulls away.
We answer calls with a live person, 24/7. Scheduling to West University Place is coordinated from our Houston office, and we don’t play dispatch games. You’ll get a window we keep.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in West University Place
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every CleanRun dryer vent job in West University Place starts with a camera inspection of the full lint pathway, from the back of your dryer to the roof or wall cap. In original West U homes - the 1940s-1960s survivors between the teardowns - we frequently find attic flex duct connections knocked loose by adjacent construction crews. A visual check from the laundry room won’t catch this. The camera shows us where conditioned air and lint-laden moisture are dumping into your attic insulation instead of exiting the vent. We document what we find before quoting any work. Haven Standard Clause 1: Written Price Before Any Work Starts.
Vent Cleaning and Lint Removal
Source removal is what actually protects your home. We use agitation tools under negative-pressure extraction to dislodge lint buildup, particularly in sagging flex runs where West University Place’s Gulf Coast humidity has created packed, moisture-laden mats. Compressed-air wands alone miss these low spots. Our Nikro equipment pulls dislodged debris out of the system rather than pushing it deeper. After source removal, we photograph every section of the cleaned vent run. You’ll see the difference between what we delivered and what a shop-vac pass would have left behind.
Vent Rerouting
Some West University Place homes - especially the post-WWII bungalows near Academy Street - have dryer vent runs that were routed through walls or soffits in ways that create unnecessary elbows and horizontal sags. Each bend traps lint; each sag pools condensation in Houston’s 75% average relative humidity. When rerouting reduces total run length and eliminates low points, we’ll show you the proposed path on camera and quote it in writing before cutting anything.
Vent Cap Replacement and Bird Guard Installation
West U’s mature oak canopy and original roof lines attract birds and squirrels. A missing or damaged vent cap lets nesting material block the lint pathway entirely, or worse, lets rain enter and saturate the duct. We stock replacement caps with integrated bird guards sized for West University Place’s common roof pitches, and we install them as part of the standard job when needed. No separate trip charge.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in West University Place Homes
- Lint pathway breaches from teardown-crew foot traffic. In original West U homes, attic flex duct connections to the dryer vent run get knocked loose by adjacent construction, so lint and moisture vent into the attic rather than outside. A visual dryer-vent check from the laundry room won’t catch this. Camera inspection does.
- Fogging “sanitiser” upsells sold in place of source removal. With Gulf Coast dewpoints in the low-to-mid 70s, chemical fogging temporarily masks odors but leaves the wet lint mat and microbial growth in the vent run. It re-colonizes within weeks. Source removal with agitation tools is what actually extracts the material.
- Skipped camera inspection on long, sagging flex runs. Original West U homes often have attic-mounted flex duct that sags and pools moisture, trapping lint in low spots. Compressed-air wands miss these without camera-guided agitation tools.
- Vent caps without bird guards on older roofs. West U’s mature tree canopy and original roof lines attract birds and squirrels. A missing or damaged cap lets nesting material block the lint pathway entirely, creating a hidden fire risk.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in West University Place, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in West University Place runs $180-$240 for a single-story home with a straight run under 15 feet. Two-story homes with roof-termination caps, or jobs requiring vent rerouting, typically fall in the $260-$340 range. Vent cap replacement with bird guard installation adds $45-$85 depending on roof access.
What moves the price: length of the vent run, number of elbows, roof versus wall termination, and whether camera inspection reveals dislodged attic connections requiring reconnection work. We deliver a written price before any work starts, every time, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing, no coupon bait-and-switch.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in West University Place
West University Place’s older homes - the 1940s-1960s stock between teardowns - often have longer, more convoluted vent runs with multiple elbows and sagging flex duct in attics that reach 130-150°F. That heat plus Houston’s 75% average humidity bakes lint into dense mats. Katy master-planned communities typically have shorter, straighter runs in newer construction. The fix is camera-guided source removal, not more frequent surface cleaning. Call (346) 248-1474 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes. We regularly find attic flex duct connections dislodged by construction crew foot traffic in surviving original homes. The camera inspection reveals whether your lint pathway is intact or dumping into the attic. It’s a 15-minute check that prevents a hidden fire and mold risk. Call (346) 248-1474 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
No. Fogging deposits chemical mist on surfaces but does not remove lint buildup or microbial colonies. In West University Place’s Gulf Coast humidity, the remaining wet lint mat re-colonizes within weeks. Source removal with agitation tools under negative pressure is what extracts the material. We document before and after with photos so you can verify what was actually removed. Call (346) 248-1474 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Most West University Place homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12-18 months. Homes with original ductwork, heavy laundry usage, or adjacent teardown activity should consider annual inspection. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs our work in writing if anything isn’t right. Call (346) 248-1474 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes. Original fiberglass-lined sheet metal and early flex duct runs are more fragile and more likely to have sag-induced low points where lint and moisture collect. We adjust our agitation approach and always run camera verification first. The documented photo record shows you exactly what condition your original system is in. Call (346) 248-1474 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
