Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Houston
Dryer vent cleaning in Houston typically runs $129 – $249 for a standard single-family home, and the job usually takes 60 – 90 minutes from arrival to final photo. We work a full schedule across Houston every weekday, from Clear Lake up to Cypress, and our techs know which 1990s tract homes are going to have crushed attic runs before they even climb the ladder. If your dryer is taking two cycles to finish a load, or the laundry room feels humid when the dryer runs, call (940) 314-5008 and we’ll walk you through what we’d check first.
Paul Adeyemi leads our Houston crew, and he insists every visit starts the same way: a written price before any work begins, shoe covers on at the door, and a camera inspection so you see exactly what we see. No vague promises. No surprise invoice. Just a clear plan and a clean vent.
Why Mortons Air Duct Houston Is Houston’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Houston homeowners call us because we talk like tradespeople, not sales scripts. When a 2004 two-story in Katy came to us with a dryer that ran two cycles per load, Paul’s team found the real problem in 20 minutes. A 22-foot flex run in the attic had crushed where it bent over a truss, and the lint pathway was packed solid for six feet. We pulled out the crushed section, replaced it with rigid metal, sealed the joints, and used negative pressure with agitation tools to clear the remaining buildup. The homeowner texted us that evening: a full load dried in 45 minutes.
That’s the kind of repair our Dryer Vent Cleaning team does every week in this city. We’re not a franchise that flies a tech in from Dallas. Our techs live in Houston, they know that attic heat here bakes flexible ductwork until it sags, and they carry the rigid metal fittings to fix it on the spot.
Every completed job ends with a photo of the cleaned vent and the work area, sent to you before the van leaves your driveway. We answer the phone with a real person, any hour, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise means that if something isn’t right, we make it right. In writing, on every invoice, every time.
Styles & brands we work with
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston covers apartment complexes, laundromats, salons, gyms, and any property with multiple dryer units or long multi-story vent runs. Houston’s building stock runs from 1970s garden apartments in Sharpstown to new mid-rise builds in Midtown, and commercial venting in these properties is usually longer, shared, or routed through fire-rated chases that require careful access. That changes both the equipment needed and the cost.
Multi-Unit and Long-Run Systems
In a Houston apartment building or laundromat, dryer vents often run 30 feet or more before they terminate, sometimes joining a common riser. We clean these with high-torque rotary brushes driven through access points, and we camera-inspect every section before and after. Pricing for commercial multi-unit vent cleaning typically starts around $300 per stack and climbs with run length and access difficulty.
Restaurants, Salons, and Care Facilities
Restaurants in the Heights and salons across Montrose run dryers daily in humidity that never quits. Lint here cakes onto vent walls quickly, and kitchen grease in the air makes it worse. Commercial cleanings for these Houston businesses run $200 – $500 depending on run length and access. We schedule around operating hours where possible, and we keep equipment volume low during business hours.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Houston
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Houston is our core residential offering, and it’s built for the way homes here are actually constructed. Most houses we visit are single-family suburban builds from the 1970s onward, slab-on-grade, with central HVAC and a dryer vent that runs through the attic. That attic run is where Houston’s climate does its damage.
Standard Single-Family Vent Cleaning
For a typical Houston home with a vent run under 20 feet, we charge $129 – $189. The job includes a camera inspection, one flat price before work begins, the full cleaning with agitation and negative pressure, and a post-clean photo. Most jobs finish in under 90 minutes.
Long Runs, Roof Terminations, and Two-Story Access
Homes in Sugar Land, Katy, and Clear Lake often have runs over 25 feet, roofline terminations, or second-story access that needs a taller ladder and more setup time. These jobs run $189 – $249 and may include joint sealing or a vent cap replacement if we find damage. We tell you the exact number before any work starts, in writing. No per-vent surprise pricing, ever.
Trusted Brands We Service in Houston
We clean and service dryer vents and the equipment around them from every major brand Houston homes actually use, including Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Samsung, GE, and Speed Queen in commercial settings. Our techs stock common Houston failure parts on the truck: rigid metal vent sections, foil tape, clamps, and vent caps from trusted suppliers like Rotobrush and Nikro. If your vent needs a section replaced or a cap swapped, we usually do it the same visit without a second trip. That saves Houston families a second scheduling headache and a second afternoon off work.

AfterCommon Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Houston Homes
- Sagging flex runs in hot attics. Flexible foil or plastic vent runs sag between trusses in Houston’s attic heat. Low spots trap lint, and within a couple of years the vent is functionally blocked even though the outside cap looks clear.
- Humidity-clumped lint sticking to vent walls. Houston’s humidity is relentless, and it changes how lint behaves. Instead of staying dry and powdery, lint clumps and adheres to the vent interior. This speeds up blockages and raises the fire risk, especially in older homes with longer runs.
- Builder shortcuts from the 1990s suburban boom. In neighborhoods across Katy, Sugar Land, and the Energy Corridor, builders often terminated dryer vents under soffits or into attics. Hot moist air blows back into the structure, and mold forms around the termination. We reroute these vents to terminate outside properly.
- Crushed sections over trusses and roof framing. Long flex runs bend over attic framing, and after years of heat exposure the aluminum weakens and collapses. A crushed section can cut airflow by 80% while looking fine from the outside. Our camera inspection finds these in minutes.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston
Every 12 to 18 months. A long attic run in Houston heat sags and collects lint faster than a short wall vent, and the humidity makes that lint stubborn. If your dryer vent runs more than 15 feet through the attic, an annual cleaning is the realistic number. Call (940) 314-5008 and we’ll inspect yours and tell you what it actually needs.
We do, and these are often the most straightforward jobs. A 1930s bungalow in the Heights or Montrose usually has a short, direct wall vent with no attic run. Cleaning is faster, pricing stays at the low end of the $129 – $189 range, and we can usually complete the job in under an hour. The issues we watch for in these homes are old, corroded caps and lint packed tight right at the wall exit.
We replace the crushed section with rigid metal, seal the joints, and clean the full run. The repair itself typically costs $80 – $150 in materials and labor on top of the cleaning, depending on how much flex run needs to come out. Rigid metal won’t sag or crush the way the original builder flex did, and in Houston’s attic heat that’s the only fix that lasts. We show you the camera footage before and after.
Yes. Houston’s humidity is the difference-maker. Lint that would stay dry and blow through in a drier climate clumps onto the vent walls here. You can clean the trap religiously and still end up with a packed vent in 18 months. That’s why we recommend a camera inspection once a year for Houston homes, even if the dryer seems to be working.
We access the vent from both ends, roof termination and dryer connection, using a taller ladder and roof-safe harness procedures, then run agitation and negative pressure through the full run. Two-story roof terminations add setup time, which is why these jobs sit at the $189 – $249 end of the Houston pricing range. The final step is always a camera pass so you can see the inside of the vent is clean. Call (940) 314-5008 for a quote on your roofline setup.
