Trusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Houston Homeowners
Dryer vent cleaning in Houston typically costs between $149 and $289 for a standard single-family home, takes about 45 to 90 minutes, and should be done every 12 to 18 months. If your dryer takes longer than one cycle to dry a load, or the laundry room feels humid while the dryer runs, the vent is usually the culprit. At Morton’s Air Duct Houston, Paul Adeyemi and our background-checked technicians arrive with Rotobrush equipment, a written price before any work starts, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on every job. Call (940) 314-5008 and a real person answers, day or night.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Service removes the compacted lint, dust, and debris that builds up inside the duct run from your dryer to the outside vent cap. We need it done when drying times creep past 45 minutes, the outside flap barely opens when the dryer runs, or the laundry room starts feeling warmer than the rest of the house. Morton’s Air Duct Houston charges a flat, written price before we start; most Houston homes run $149 to $229 depending on vent length and access. The price you sign is the price you pay, nothing added on the invoice after the fact.
What We Clean
We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection at the wall all the way to the exterior termination point. That includes the transition hose, the interior duct, any elbows, and the outside vent hood. Our Rotobrush system uses rotating brushes and a high-powered vacuum running simultaneously, so lint gets pulled out as it is loosened, not blown into your laundry room.
Pet Hair and Houston Humidity
Houston homes with dogs and cats see vents clog faster because pet hair finds its way into every load of laundry and then every foot of vent pipe. Add our Gulf Coast humidity and lint that would normally blow through instead sticks to the duct walls. We see this pattern in neighborhoods from Katy to Kingwood, and we plan for it with longer brush passes on every job.

Dryer Vent Installation
A Dryer Vent Installation is a new vent run installed when a home has no existing vent, or the current one is so crushed, disconnected, or improperly routed that replacing it is safer and cheaper than repairing it. You need this service when a home inspection flags the vent, when the dryer was moved to a new wall and the old duct no longer reaches, or when we find foil or vinyl piping that should be rigid metal. Morton’s Air Duct Houston installs rigid metal dryer vent systems at $180 to $340 for typical runs, with the full written price confirmed before we cut or mount anything.
When Replacement Beats Repair
Plastic and foil ducting should not carry a dryer exhaust. It traps lint, tears easily, and can sag into kinks that catch heat. When we find this material instead of solid metal, we always show the homeowner what we are seeing before recommending replacement, and we provide the exact cost difference up front.
Runs Through Attics and Crawl Spaces
Long vent runs through attics or under floors change the scope of an installation. We check the total length, count the elbows, and plan the route before quoting so you know whether the job is a straight $220 run or a more involved one. Shoe covers and drop cloths come out before we go up or under, every single time.
Dryer Vent Repair
Dryer Vent Repair fixes a vent that is still structurally sound but has a problem at a specific point: a disconnected joint, a torn flex section, a crushed pipe behind the dryer, or a vent cap that no longer opens and closes. When the outside louver is stuck open, Houston’s humidity and heat pour into the vent and birds or rodents will find their way in. Morton’s Air Duct Houston handles repairs from $129 to $249 depending on the part and access, with the written price confirmed before any work begins.
Common Repairs Around Houston Homes
We repair vent runs crushed by the dryer itself when it gets pushed too close to the wall, which is one of the most common issues we find in laundry rooms all over the city. We also replace broken exterior caps and reseal joints that have come loose. If the run has more than one point of failure or runs over 15 feet, we will tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the smarter long-term choice.
How We Work During Nap Time
If someone in the house is sleeping, tell us when we arrive. We run quiet tools wherever possible, we keep the work contained to the laundry area, and we do not bang duct sections around. Paul Adeyemi trains every technician to read the room before touching the vent, and that is part of the Cedarwell Care Promise, not an add-on.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Company is who you call when the lint trap is not enough and the vent behind the wall has become a real fire hazard and an efficiency drain. You choose Morton’s Air Duct Houston because we have been doing this work since 2005, our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and every visit includes a written price and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Standard cleaning in Houston runs $149 to $229, and we never surprise anyone with a higher number once the van is in the driveway.
Why Families Come Back to Us
Most of our Houston customers have kids and pets, which means the laundry room is high-traffic and the crew has to work around real life happening in the next room. We put down drop cloths from the door to the dryer, wear shoe covers, and make sure pet-safe product choices are used where available. When we are done, the laundry room looks the way it did before we arrived, minus the lint.
Written Price, Every Time
No one should find out the real cost of a service after the work is done. At Morton’s, the price is written down and given to you before we start, and it will not change unless the scope changes and you agree to it in writing. That has been our rule since 2005 and it is part of why families in Houston keep our number handy.
Dryer Vent Inspection
A Dryer Vent Inspection is a full check of the dryer exhaust path from the back of the machine to the outside termination, looking for blockages, disconnects, improper material, poor routing, and fire risk. We recommend an inspection when a home is newly purchased, when a dryer is installed or moved, or when you smell a burning odor during a cycle. Morton’s Air Duct Houston performs inspections from $89 to $149, and if cleaning is needed at the same visit, the inspection fee is credited toward that work.
What We Look For
We check the duct material, every connection point, the total run length, the number and angle of elbows, and the condition of the exterior cap. We also test airflow at the outside vent with the dryer running. We will show you what we find, with photos, and explain what matters versus what can wait.
For New Homeowners
A lot of the inspections we do in Houston come right after closing. The previous owner may not have cleaned the vent in years, and a home inspection only checks what is visible. We have found vents packed solid with lint in homes that looked pristine everywhere else, in neighborhoods from Jersey Village to Pasadena. Knowing the vent is clear before you run your first load is worth the small fee.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning
Commercial Vent Cleaning is the scheduled cleaning and inspection of dryer exhaust systems in laundromats, apartment complexes, hotels, gyms, salons, and any facility running multiple dryers or high daily volume. These systems collect lint much faster than a home vent and need service anywhere from twice a year to every quarter depending on usage. Morton’s Air Duct Houston provides commercial vent cleaning with a written proposal and project price, typically ranging from $400 to $1,200 per building depending on the number of dryers and vent runs.
Apartments and Property Management
We work with property managers across Houston who need the same standard of care in every unit without having to chase a different contractor for each building. Our technicians log every vent cleaned, note any repair needs, and leave documentation you can file. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to commercial work too, so if a vent is not right, we come back and make it right.
What We Ask Before We Quote
We need to know the number of dryers, whether they are stacked or side-by-side, where the vents terminate, and how many floors the run travels. That lets us give you a real number instead of a guess. Call (940) 314-5008 and we will ask the right questions, then send a written quote before anything is booked.
Brands We Service
Our technicians work on dryers and vent systems made by every major manufacturer, and we are especially familiar with the vent configurations used by Rotobrush cleaning equipment, which we also run ourselves. The same attention we give to a Rotobrush unit, we bring to Nikro and Honeywell equipment we encounter in commercial settings. We know how each brand routes exhaust, where lint tends to collect, and what parts fail first after years of Houston humidity.
We also regularly work in homes with Aprilaire ventilation components tied into the laundry area, and we understand how those systems interact with dryer exhaust. Whether you have one of those brands or any other make, we can help. The vent path matters more than the badge on the dryer, and we know vent paths.

- Clothes take more than one full cycle to dry. When a load that used to dry in 40 minutes now takes 70, the air is not moving. That trapped air keeps moisture in the drum and forces the dryer to run longer, which adds wear and raises your electric bill.
- The dryer or laundry room feels hot while the machine runs. Heat should leave through the vent, not radiate into the room. If the dryer body feels unusually hot or the laundry room gets stuffy during a cycle, the exhaust path is restricted somewhere past the lint screen.
- You notice a burning smell during a cycle. That smell is usually lint heating up against the heating element or inside the duct. It does not mean a fire is imminent, but it does mean the vent needs attention before the situation gets worse. Turn the dryer off and call us.
- The outside vent flap does not open when the dryer is on. Walk outside while the dryer runs and check the exhaust hood. If the little louvered flap is not pushed open by the airflow, the vent is blocked enough to stop the air from escaping. That is a building pressure problem in the duct.
- You cannot remember the last time the vent was cleaned. If it has been more than two years, or you moved into the home and have no record of a prior cleaning, schedule one. Houston’s climate means lint builds faster here than in drier parts of Texas, and vent cleaning is far cheaper than a dryer repair.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
We arrive and protect your home. Shoe covers go on at the door, drop cloths go down from the entry to the laundry room, and we take a few minutes to understand the layout of your vent run before touching anything. This is part of the Cedarwell Care Promise on every job.
- 2
We test and inspect the full vent run. We run the dryer briefly to check airflow at the outside termination, then inspect the vent material, connections, and cap condition. If we find problems like crushed pipe or broken louvers, we show you with photos and give you options with prices.
- 3
We clean the vent with professional equipment. Using our Rotobrush system, we send rotating brushes through the entire duct run while a HEPA-filtered vacuum runs concurrently. Lint, pet hair, and debris are collected at the source rather than scattered into the house.
- 4
We finish the outside and clean up. The exterior vent hood is cleaned and checked for proper flap operation. Inside, we vacuum any lint that escaped, remove drop cloths, and take a photo of the clean-up before we leave. You see exactly how the laundry area looked when we finished.
- 5
We walk you through what we did and what comes next. Before leaving, we review the condition of your vent, note any concerns for the future, and give you a recommended service interval. You get a record of the visit and the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies from that day forward.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Houston?
A typical dryer vent cleaning in Houston runs $149 to $229 for a single-family home with a standard vent run under 15 feet. If the run is longer than 15 feet, passes through a second story, or requires roof access, the price typically falls between $229 and $289. Installations run $180 to $340 depending on run length and access, and repairs run $129 to $249 depending on the part and location. Inspections are $89 to $149, credited toward any cleaning done the same day.
The main factors that affect your price are the length of the vent run, the number of elbows, access difficulty (roof, crawl space, second floor), and whether any repairs are needed to make the vent safe. Homes in older Houston neighborhoods like the Heights or Montrose often have shorter, older runs that may need cap replacement, while newer construction in suburbs like Tomball or Richmond tends to have longer runs that take more time.
To avoid overpaying, get the price in writing before anyone starts, ask whether the quote includes the full run to the exterior, and find out whether repairs cost extra. A free estimate from Morton’s Air Duct Houston includes the exact work plan, the full written price, and no obligation. Call (940) 314-5008 and we will walk you through it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston
Dryer vent cleaning is the removal of lint, dust, and debris from the duct that carries hot exhaust air from your dryer to the outside of your home. At Morton’s Air Duct Houston, we clean the entire run from the dryer connection to the exterior vent cap using Rotobrush equipment and a simultaneous vacuum. The process takes under 90 minutes for most Houston homes and leaves your dryer running efficiently with less fire risk.
Most single-family dryer vent cleanings in Houston take between 45 and 90 minutes from arrival to final walkthrough. Runs over 15 feet, roof access, or repairs needed during the visit can add time, and we will tell you that before we start. We work around nap schedules and keep the process contained to the laundry area. Call (940) 314-5008 to schedule a time that works for your household.

Yes, we service vents for every dryer brand on the market, and we are especially experienced with vent configurations on Rotobrush and Nikro commercial equipment.
