We provide independent Aprilaire dryer vent cleaning in Round Rock, with most jobs completed in a single scheduled visit and a written price delivered before any work begins. A standard Aprilaire dryer vent cleaning runs $180 to $320 depending on duct length, accessibility, and whether the vent needs rerouting past a known problem spot.

How Aprilaire Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Aprilaire 3500 Series: lint compaction at the secondary lint screen housing. The 3500’s dual-screen design traps fine particles that bypass the dryer’s primary filter, and in Round Rock’s hard-water environment, those particles calcify into a dense mat. We remove the housing, run a borescope to confirm the blockage depth, and clear it with negative-pressure extraction (suction that pulls debris out rather than pushing it deeper). If the screen frame is warped from heat cycling, we source an OEM replacement or a Guardsman equivalent that meets the same mesh spec.
• Aprilaire 4200 Series: flexible duct sag at the horizontal mid-run. The 4200 ships with a lighter-gauge flexible duct that droops over time, creating a lint trap at the low point. In Teravista homes with longer vent runs to exterior walls, we’ve measured 3-inch debris build-ups at that sag point. We replace the flexible section with rigid aluminum where code allows, or install a support strap system every 4 feet if rigid isn’t feasible. The camera goes in first. Then we talk.
• Aprilaire 5500 Series: bird guard mesh corrosion. The 5500’s factory bird guard uses a galvanized mesh that degrades faster than expected in Central Texas humidity, especially where cedar pollen mixes with moisture to form an acidic film. We document the corrosion grade, replace with a stainless Guardsman guard rated for our climate, and note the swap in your job record for warranty reference.
• Aprilaire 6500 Series: control board moisture intrusion in vented crawl spaces. The 6500’s humidity-sensing control board sits in a housing that can weep condensation when Round Rock’s spring humidity spikes. We don’t touch electronics without written owner approval, but we will photograph the housing condition, seal the penetration point with code-rated mastic, and recommend a board evaluation if corrosion is visible on the terminal block.
• Aprilaire universal retrofit kits: incompatible duct diameter transitions. Homeowners who bought Aprilaire retrofit kits online sometimes find the 4-to-6-inch adapter doesn’t seat properly against existing ductwork in pre-2010 Round Rock builds. We measure the actual duct ID with a caliper, fabricate a proper transition on-site if needed, and photograph the seal before closing up. No guesswork, no “it should fit.”

Our Aprilaire Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

1. 1
   Call intake and scheduling. A live person answers, confirms your Aprilaire model if you know it, and schedules a visit. No automated queue.
2. 2
   Camera inspection and written price. Tomas Reyes or a Haven Standard Clause 1 technician runs a borescope through the full duct run, shows you the feed on a tablet, and delivers a written price before any work starts. Haven Standard Clause 1: Written Price Before Work Begins.
3. 3
   Parts decision documented. If a component needs replacement, we note OEM versus quality aftermarket options (Guardsman, Abatement Technologies) with part numbers you can verify, and the price difference in writing.
4. 4
   Cleaning and repair with photo record. We use Rotobrush or Nikro equipment matched to your duct material, clean the full run, and photograph every section before and after. The photo record is delivered as a standard job deliverable, not an upsell.
5. 5
   Flow test and sign-off. We measure exhaust velocity with an anemometer at the exterior cap, compare to manufacturer spec, and show you the number. If it’s below 1,000 FPM on a standard Aprilaire system, we find out why before we leave.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. The guarantee is printed, signed, and left with you. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. No manager approval required.
