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.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Lakeway
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Lakeway job begins with a camera inspection of the full vent run, not just the wall termination. In the 1978-1985 resort-era homes common around The Hills of Lakeway and Live Oak Golf Course, we regularly find flex duct that looks intact at the wall but has collapsed or separated in the attic. Our camera shows the actual condition: heat-degraded liner, lint accumulation density, and any sag points where the 150°F+ attic temperatures have caused the duct to belly. The inspection report includes dated photos of every foot of the run, delivered as part of the standard job record.
Vent Cleaning and Lint Removal
We use Rotobrush agitation tools paired with Nikro negative-pressure source removal to extract lint, not push it deeper. This matters in Lakeway because the debris here isn’t just lint. Rural properties on unpaved roads and open Hill Country land pull in heavy loads of alkaline limestone dust and Ashe juniper pollen. These fine particles mix with lint inside the vent run and create dense, felted blockages that ordinary brush kits miss. We recently worked a 1978 resort-era home near Lakeway Boulevard where the homeowner reported a damp, musty smell in the laundry room and a dryer that needed two cycles. A camera inspection of the dryer vent showed the old aluminum flex run heavily packed with felted lint and cedar pollen; we used agitation tools and negative-pressure source removal to clear the lint pathway, replaced the crushed vent cap, and the homeowner reported the dryer finishing in a single cycle.
Vent Rerouting
Original Lakeway homes were often built with dryer vent runs that exceed modern manufacturer length limits, or with flex duct routed through attics in ways that create multiple sag points and collection spots. Newer multi-story homes in Lakeway Highlands sometimes have dryers installed on interior walls with no direct exterior access, requiring extended runs through ceiling assemblies. We reroute to solid metal ducting where possible, reducing friction loss and eliminating the flex-duct failure points that dominate service calls in this market. Every reroute proposal includes a written scope and fixed price before work starts.
Vent Cap Replacement and Bird Guard Installation
The vent cap is the most overlooked component in most systems we inspect around Lakeway. Cedar pollen season here, peaking December through February, loads up standard flapper-style caps with a paste of pollen and lint that prevents proper closure. Bird guards with finer mesh help, but they require more frequent maintenance. We stock replacement caps and guards sized for the extended runs common on rural Lakeway properties, and we photograph the before and after condition of the termination point as part of the documented photo record.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Lakeway
CleanRun crews carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire. We don’t use shop-vacs or consumer-grade brush kits. The Rotobrush system we deploy for Lakeway agitation work is the same unit specified by commercial duct contractors; the Nikro extractors we pair it with are rated for the extended static pressure of long vent runs. For vent cap replacements and bird guard installations, we source components that hold up to Hill Country UV exposure and pollen loading, not the thin-gauge hardware-store stock that warps in Lakeway attic heat.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Lakeway Homes
- Collapsed flex duct in original resort-era attics. In the 1970s-1980s Lakeway homes, dryer vent runs were often flex duct routed through attics that routinely exceed 150°F in summer. Heat degradation and lint buildup collapse the inner liner, leaving a hidden restriction that a surface-level cleaning won’t fix. Our camera inspection finds these before we quote.
- Felted lint-pollen blockages in rural properties. Properties on unpaved roads and open Hill Country land pull in heavy loads of alkaline limestone dust and Ashe juniper pollen. These fine particles mix with lint inside the vent run and create dense, felted blockages that ordinary brush kits miss. Agitation plus negative-pressure extraction is required.
- Clogged bird guards on extended runs. Longer service drives and outbuildings mean many Lakeway dryers are vented through complex, extended runs that terminate in bird-guard-equipped caps. Cedar pollen and lint accumulate in the mesh, creating back-pressure that extends dry times. We see this pattern far less in Austin’s flat, close-in suburbs.
- Crushed or missing vent caps from wildlife contact. Raccoons and squirrels are active throughout the Lakeway Hill Country interface. Damaged caps allow nest material directly into the vent line, and we’ve pulled complete squirrel nests from runs near undeveloped parcels.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lakeway, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Lakeway runs $180-$340. This covers a single-family home with a through-wall or short attic run, full camera inspection, agitation cleaning with negative-pressure extraction, and the documented photo record delivered after the job.
Rural properties with extended runs, outbuilding dryers, or complex attic pathways typically fall in the $320-$580 range. Vent rerouting, cap replacement, or bird guard installation are quoted separately with a written scope and fixed price before any work begins. We do not charge per vent or offer teaser rates that change once we’re on site. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the written price be delivered and acknowledged before work starts, every time.
Factors that move Lakeway jobs toward the higher end: original 1970s flex duct requiring camera navigation, multiple story runs in newer custom homes, and rural properties with limestone dust loading that requires extended agitation time. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free estimate. We’ll inspect the run, show you what we found, and put the price in writing.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lakeway
Lakeway homeowners with rural properties on open land or unpaved roads should schedule dryer vent cleaning every 12-18 months, not the 2-3 year interval typical of flat, suburban areas. The combination of Ashe juniper pollen, limestone dust, and extended dry seasons here creates felted blockages faster than in Austin’s eastern suburbs. Homes with original 1970s-1980s flex duct in hot attics may need annual inspection regardless of visible lint trap performance. Call (737) 259-5752 to schedule a camera inspection and we’ll recommend an interval based on what we actually find in your run.
A dryer that needs two cycles almost always indicates a restricted vent run, not a failing appliance. In Lakeway, the restriction is often hidden deep in an attic flex duct that has partially collapsed or packed with felted lint and cedar pollen, not at the wall where most homeowners look. The lint trap catches only the material that makes it past the drum; the vent run handles everything else. We verify the actual restriction with a camera inspection, then clear it with agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction. Call (737) 259-5752 for a free estimate.
Yes. Cedar pollen particles are microscopic and pass through standard screens; limestone dust from unpaved roads and caliche soil is equally fine. In Lakeway, both enter the dryer intake during the dry, windy stretches between pollen seasons, then mix with lint in the vent run to form dense, felted mats that brush kits alone won’t remove. We’ve extracted blockages that reduced airflow by 70% with no visible lint at the wall termination. Our agitation and negative-pressure system is specifically designed for this debris profile.
Yes. We regularly clean dryer vents on rural Lakeway properties with extended runs, outbuilding installations, and multiple termination points. These jobs require longer scope times and sometimes vent rerouting to bring runs within manufacturer length limits. Every rural job gets the same written price before work starts and documented photo record on completion. Call (737) 259-5752 to describe your setup and we’ll schedule an on-site evaluation.
We install vent caps, bird guards, and replacement ducting from trade-recognized manufacturers including Honeywell and Aprilaire, with solid metal ducting sourced to spec for each job. We do not use thin-gauge hardware-store components that fail in Hill Country attic heat. Every replacement is photographed before and after, and covered under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (737) 259-5752 for component questions or to schedule installation.
