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 Cheval
Dryer vent cleaning in Cheval typically runs $180 – $340 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs take 90 minutes to two hours from arrival to cleanup. If your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load or you notice a burnt-lint smell from the laundry room, the vent run is likely restricted. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
We’ve worked in Cheval long enough to know the layout: the golf-front homes along Cheval Boulevard and Royal Oaks Drive, the townhome clusters near the community entrances, and the deed-restricted standards that govern what can and can’t show from the street. Our crews are dispatched from our Miami office, but we serve Cheval directly. That means we understand why a vertical 22-foot run through a garage chase fails differently than a short through-wall vent, and we know that negative-air containment matters here because your neighbors on the fairway will see (and the HOA will hear about) any crew who vents lint onto the driveway.
The Garrison Standard governs how we work: arrive inside the quoted window, price in writing, complete the job by the book, leave the site clean. No exceptions.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Cheval’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Cheval homeowners aren’t looking for the lowest coupon price. They’re looking for a crew that shows up uniformed, explains what they found, and documents it. We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail loop or callback queue.
We price every job in writing before touching equipment. The figure on the estimate is the figure on the invoice. In a market where some outfits advertise a low teaser rate then add per-vent charges at the door, we quote one flat price per system and stick to it.
Local knowledge matters in Cheval. A technician who doesn’t know that most dryer vents here run through second-floor mechanical closets or garage chases won’t bring the right equipment for a vertical pull. We do.
Dryer Vent Repair in Cheval
Dryer Vent Repair in Cheval addresses the crushed flex transitions, disconnected runs, and failed terminations that accumulate in homes built between the mid-1980s and mid-2000s. Most Cheval laundry rooms sit against garage walls or second-floor mechanical chases, and the original foil or plastic flex hose behind the dryer gets kinked during every appliance swap. A restricted vent doesn’t just slow drying; it overheats the element and creates a legitimate fire hazard. Repair costs in Cheval typically range from $220 – $480 depending on whether we’re replacing a transition section, rerouting a crushed run, or installing a new roof or wall termination.
Crushed Transitions and Kinked Flex Hose
The flex hose behind your dryer is the most failure-prone piece of the system. In Cheval’s older homes, these are often original foil or thin plastic that collapses when the dryer is pushed back against the wall. We replace them with rigid aluminum where possible, which maintains airflow and won’t sag or kink over time.
Vertical Runs and Garage-Chase Terminations
Many Cheval homes route dryer vents up through garage chases to avoid visible rooftop terminations along the golf frontage. These vertical runs let lint settle at elbows and the termination hood. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning crew uses a Nikro rotary brush under negative pressure to pull lint from the full length of the run, not just the accessible sections.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Cheval
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company work in Cheval means more than vacuuming the lint trap, and our Air Duct Cleaning in Cheval follows the same thorough standards. It means addressing the long lateral and vertical runs that trap lint faster than standard short wall vents, and doing so under the containment standards that deed-restricted golf communities require. A typical cleaning for a Cheval single-family home runs $180 – $340; homes with two-story vertical runs or garage-chase terminations may fall at the higher end. We clean with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, capture lint with HEPA filtration, and provide before/after photos of the vent interior.
What the Cleaning Process Covers
We inspect the full run from dryer to termination, clean the transition hose and interior duct, clear the termination hood, and test airflow before and after. If we find damage or code issues, we note them in writing with repair options and prices. Nothing gets done without your approval.
Documentation for Buyers and Sellers
In Cheval’s resale-heavy market, documentation matters. We provide written reports with photos that satisfy sellers closing on 1990s-era golf-front homes and buyers who want proof the system was cleared before move-in. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheval includes this documentation as standard.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cheval
We work with the equipment already installed in Cheval homes and stock parts from manufacturers that match what builders used here from the 1980s through the 2000s. Our service roster includes Aprilaire filtration components, Abatement Technologies HEPA systems, and Guardsman containment products. For cleaning, we deploy Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, the same tools commercial crews use. If your vent termination, transition hose, or wall cap needs replacement, we carry standard sizes and can source specialty fittings without the multi-week wait you’d get from a general contractor.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Cheval Homes
- Crushed original flex behind the dryer. The foil or plastic transition hose installed when the home was built has been compressed by repeated appliance moves. Airflow drops by half, lint backs up into the dryer cabinet, and the thermal fuse eventually fails. We find this in roughly half the Cheval homes we service.
- Long vertical runs packed with felted lint. Cheval’s two-story golf-front plans often send vents up 20-plus feet through garage chases. Lint compacts at elbows and the termination hood into a dense mat that a homeowner’s shop vacuum won’t touch. Our rotary brush system breaks it loose and negative air pulls it out.
- Moisture damage from Gulf-coast humidity. Cheval’s year-round cooling season means duct surfaces stay damp. Lint clings to wet metal and flex duct, accelerating buildup. We see this especially in vent runs through unconditioned attic or garage spaces.
- Improper terminations venting into garage or attic chases. Some prior crews, avoiding visible exterior work under deed restrictions, terminated dryer exhaust into the garage or a mechanical closet instead of outside. This recirculates lint and moisture back into the home, creating mold conditions and a fire risk. We reroute to proper exterior terminations.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheval
Yes. Vertical runs require a rotary brush system with sufficient torque to climb the duct and negative-air containment to capture lint at the top rather than letting it fall back down. In Cheval, these runs often extend 20-plus feet through garage chases or attic spaces, so we bring our Nikro negative-air machine and HEPA filtration to contain everything. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll assess your specific run length and access points.
Ask for a video or photo inspection of the full run. In Cheval, where long-term occupancy is common and systems ran 11 months a year, we regularly find vents that look fine from the termination but are packed behind the first elbow. We provide before/after photos of the duct interior and a written report documenting airflow readings. Schedule a pre-move-in inspection at (361) 326-5060.
Absolutely. Our negative-air method pulls lint into a contained HEPA-filtered collector, not out the termination hood. In Cheval’s deed-restricted community, where work is visible from the fairway and neighbors notice, this containment is standard for our crews. No leaf-blower-style flushing. No lint on the driveway or landscaping.
Because the restriction is in the vent run, not the trap. Cheval’s humidity makes lint cling to duct walls, and long vertical runs compound the problem by giving lint more surface area to accumulate. A clean trap only addresses the first six inches. The rest of the run needs mechanical cleaning with rotary brushes and airflow testing to confirm restoration.
Yes. We work with standard builder-grade installations from the 1980s through 2000s and stock replacement caps, transitions, and guards that match common Cheval configurations. If you have a specialty termination or high-end dryer with proprietary venting, we’ll identify it during inspection and source the correct parts. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your setup.
