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.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Irving
Dryer vent cleaning in Irving typically runs $150 – $275 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in under two hours with the dryer back in service the same day. If you’re in a multi-family building with a shared stack, expect $200 – $350 depending on roof-access requirements and how many branch runs need clearing. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve been sending crews to Irving from our Dallas-Fort Worth office long enough to know the local building stock inside and out. From the 1960s ranch homes in South Irving with their original galvanized steel ductwork to the high-rise condos off MacArthur Boulevard in Las Colinas, we’ve cleared dryer vents in just about every configuration this city throws at us. Our technicians arrive uniformed, background-checked, and equipped with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines, the same tools commercial crews use on larger jobs. When you schedule Dryer Vent Cleaning with Hollis, you get a written price before we touch anything and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backing the work.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Irving
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Irving means more than pulling lint from the trap. We inspect the full exhaust pathway from the dryer’s internal housing through the transition duct, the wall run, and the exterior termination. In a standard single-family home near Valley Ranch or Plymouth Park, that run is usually 8 – 15 feet of rigid or semi-rigid duct ending at a side-wall or roof cap. In South Irving’s older ranches or Las Colinas townhomes, we often find galvanized steel connectors original to the 1960s – 70s build, corroded at the joints and leaking lint into wall cavities where you can’t see it.
Our process starts with airflow measurement and visual inspection. We use a borescope camera when the run is long or the blockage location isn’t obvious. For the cleaning itself, we deploy a Rotobrush rotary brush system that physically agitates lint and debris off duct walls, paired with Nikro negative-air HEPA filtration to capture it at the source. Nothing gets blown into your laundry room or attic. The job ends with a second airflow reading so you know the improvement is real, not guessed at.
Shared Stack and Multi-Family Cleaning
In Irving’s denser neighborhoods, particularly Las Colinas and older South Irving apartment conversions, multiple dryer exhausts often merge into one shared vertical chase terminating at a single roof cap. A technician who only cleans your unit’s accessible duct from inside the apartment leaves the actual blockage untouched in the shared stack. We carry ladder-safe roof access equipment and camera systems to inspect and clear these chases properly, coordinating with property management when needed.
Lint Removal and Fire Prevention
The U.S. Fire Administration lists clothes dryer fires as a leading cause of residential blazes, and lint accumulation is the primary fuel. In Irving’s near-year-round heat, dryers run harder and longer than in cooler climates, accelerating buildup. Our lint removal service pulls accumulation from the entire pathway, not just the trap and the first few feet. We document before-and-after conditions with photos you can keep.
Dryer Vent Installation in Irving
Dryer Vent Installation in Irving becomes necessary when the existing run is damaged, improperly routed, or no longer meets current building standards. We see this most often in two situations: older South Irving homes where original galvanized connectors have rusted through or disconnected, and Las Colinas renovations where a relocated laundry room needs a new exhaust pathway through a different wall or floor assembly.
A proper installation starts with measuring the shortest safe route to exterior termination, accounting for Irving’s wind patterns and the need to avoid terminating under eaves or near intake vents. We use rigid aluminum ducting for straight runs, transitioning to semi-rigid only where flexibility is required for dryer connection. Every joint is sealed with foil tape, not screws that catch lint. Roof terminations get a Guardsman-style cap with a functioning backdraft damper. Side-wall terminations include a bird guard where trees or nesting pressure exists.
Vent Rerouting and Code Compliance
Some Irving homes, especially those with slab foundations and interior laundry closets, were originally vented through crawl spaces or into garages against current code. We reroute these to proper exterior terminations, often through a gable end or dedicated soffit vent. The work includes patching the old penetration and documenting the new route for your records.
Bird Guard and Cap Replacement
Missing or damaged termination caps let birds, rodents, and insects enter the duct, and they allow wind-driven rain into the run. In Irving, where occasional heavy storms roll through from the southwest, a failed backdraft damper can soak lint into a solid mass. We stock replacement caps and Guardsman-style guards sized for standard 4-inch ductwork, installing them with proper clearances from siding and soffits.
Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
Hollis crews work with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, and we stock filtration and termination products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. For Irving customers, this means replacement parts and specialized fittings are on the truck, not on a two-day order. A Rotobrush rotary head sized for flexible ducting, a Nikro HEPA vacuum collar for negative-air containment, a Guardsman termination cap with a stuck damper, we’ve got it. That inventory translates to faster completion and fewer return trips, which matters when you’re coordinating access in a Las Colinas high-rise with a narrow service window.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Shared vertical stacks clogging at branch junctions. In Irving’s multi-family buildings, particularly off Nursery Road and in Las Colinas townhome rows, several units’ dryer exhausts merge into one roof-terminating chase. Lint accumulates where the second-floor run joins the stack, backing up into multiple units. A single-unit interior clean won’t touch it.
- Galvanized connector deterioration in South Irving ranches. Homes built in the 1960s and 70s often have original steel dryer connectors that rust from the inside out. Pinhole leaks and separated joints dump lint into wall cavities instead of pushing it outside. The dryer still runs, but the exhaust pathway is effectively broken.
- Restricted equipment access in dense developments. Las Colinas high-rises and townhome clusters frequently lack ground-level parking for a service van near the exterior vent location. Some competitors skip the roof-cap and stack cleaning entirely, running only a partial interior pass and billing for a “complete” job. We carry portable HEPA equipment for these situations and coordinate roof access through property management.
- Humidity-compacted lint in near-year-round heat. Irving’s long summers keep dryers cycling heavily, and the humid subtropical climate can let moisture into poorly sealed termination caps. Wet lint mats into dense columns that standard brushing won’t dislodge. We address this with agitation tools and negative-air extraction, not just blowing compressed air through the run.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irving, TX
A standard single-family dryer vent cleaning in Irving runs $150 – $275. That covers inspection, full-pathway cleaning with rotary brush and negative-air containment, airflow testing before and after, and a written report with photos. Multi-family units with shared stacks or roof-access requirements run $200 – $350, depending on how many branch runs serve the chase and whether property management needs to coordinate roof entry.
Dryer vent installation or rerouting in Irving typically falls between $300 – $650 for a straightforward replacement run, and $500 – $1,200 for complex reroutes through multiple wall assemblies or slab-penetration work. Bird guard or cap replacement is usually $75 – $150 when done as part of a cleaning, or $125 – $225 as a standalone call.
What moves the price: length of run, number of elbows, access difficulty (crawl space, attic, roof), and whether the existing duct is damaged or disconnected. We give you one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No per-foot add-ons, no surprises at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irving
No, and any company that says otherwise is leaving the actual blockage in place. In Irving’s shared-stack buildings, lint accumulates at the branch-to-chase junction and in the vertical stack itself, not in your individual run. We inspect and clear the shared chase from the roof cap or access panel, then verify airflow at each branch. Call (361) 326-5060 to schedule a proper multi-unit assessment.
Extended dry times usually mean restricted airflow from lint buildup, a damaged exhaust pathway, or both. In Irving’s climate, near-continuous dryer operation accelerates lint accumulation, and the extreme heat means your dryer is already working harder to reach target temperatures. A partially blocked vent forces it to run even longer, overheating clothes and wasting energy. We measure airflow and inspect the full run to find the restriction. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate.
Not directly. The fine black soot and jet exhaust particles we find in Irving HVAC ductwork near flight paths are drawn in through the air handler’s return side, not the dryer’s exhaust. However, the same environmental conditions, high particulate load, near-constant system operation, mean your dryer vent is working harder and clogging faster than in cleaner-air climates. We address the distinct problems separately: HVAC duct cleaning for the soot, dryer vent cleaning for the lint.
Yes. We carry portable negative-air HEPA equipment that doesn’t require truck staging at the exterior vent location. For roof-terminated stacks, we coordinate building access and ladder-safe roof work. For side-wall terminations with balcony access restrictions, we use extended-reach tools and camera verification. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies regardless of building type. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your building’s specific access situation.
Every 12 – 18 months for shared-stack multi-family units in Irving, and every 1 – 2 years for single-family homes. Shared stacks accumulate lint from multiple dryers simultaneously, so they clog faster than independent runs. If your unit’s dryer is taking longer than one normal cycle to dry a standard load, or if the exterior termination flap isn’t opening during operation, schedule an inspection regardless of the calendar. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
