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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Round Rock Is Round Rock’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve served Round Rock since our first jobs in 2013, and the documented photo record we deliver on every visit - before and after, inside every vent run - is the reason homeowners here refer us to neighbors. Tomas Reyes built CleanRun on the principle that a customer should see what was in their ductwork before deciding whether the work mattered. That hasn’t changed.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and we publish our license number on every page so you can verify credentials independently. We don’t do “call for a quote.” Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before any work starts, every time, with no exceptions. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team carries professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Abatement Technologies - brands you can look up yourself before we arrive.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in writing, not as a policy subject to manager approval. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. And our Free Second Opinion means you can bring any competitor’s written estimate; we’ll put our number next to it, also in writing, at no cost.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Round Rock
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every job starts with a camera inspection of the full vent run, from the dryer transition duct to the exterior termination. In Round Rock’s Dell-boom subdivisions - particularly homes built 1998-2008 in the Walsh Ranch and Forest Creek areas - we regularly find flex duct that has partially collapsed or pulled loose at boot connections after years of thermal cycling in attics that hit 140°F+ from May through September. The camera shows you exactly what we’re looking at before we quote a written price. No guesswork. No “we think it might need this.”
Vent Cleaning
We clean with negative-pressure extraction (a vacuum system that pulls debris out of the duct rather than blowing it around) combined with mechanical agitation tools that break caked lint free from ribbed flex-duct walls. Round Rock’s position on the eastern edge of the Balcones Escarpment puts it in the nation’s densest Ashe juniper pollen corridor, so December-February “cedar fever” season drives an unusually heavy fine biological load into homes here, including laundry rooms and dryer vent runs, that neighboring Georgetown and Pflugerville simply don’t see at the same intensity. That pollen mixes with lint and hardens in the duct. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush and Nikro systems designed for this exact contamination profile.
Lint Removal
Lint is the visible problem, but in Round Rock it’s rarely just lint. In the Forest Creek subdivision off the east side, our tech pulled a dryer out of a 2004-built tract home and ran a camera inspection down the vent run - the flex duct had partially collapsed where it crossed the superheated attic and a bird guard on the exterior cap was packed solid with lint and cedar pollen. We switched to negative pressure with HEPA filtration, used agitation tools to break the caked lint loose from the ribbed walls, replaced the crushed section with rigid pipe, and capped the run with a new Guardsman vent cap; airflow at the exterior termination went from a trickle to a full, steady exhaust. That’s the standard we apply to every lint removal job.
Vent Rerouting
Some Round Rock homes, especially rural properties and those with garage or detached shop laundries, were built with vent runs that are too long, have too many elbows, or sag below the dryer’s exit point. A low spot in a flex-duct run becomes a lint trap. We reroute to rigid pipe where possible, eliminate unnecessary turns, and ensure positive slope back to the dryer or adequate rise to the exterior cap. Every reroute gets a written scope and a photo record of the new configuration.
Bird Guard Installation
Round Rock’s mix of established neighborhoods and open land means birds, wasps, and rodents frequently nest in unprotected vent terminations. We install Guardsman vent caps with integrated bird guards sized for the exhaust volume of your dryer. This is standard on every cap replacement we do in the area, and we stock them so there’s no delay ordering parts.
Vent Cap Replacement
Cracked, missing, or improperly screened caps are the entry point for most vent contamination. We replace with metal, not plastic, caps rated for Central Texas UV exposure and heat cycling. The cap is photographed before removal and after installation as part of your documented job record.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Round Rock Homes
- Unpaved-road dust loading on rural and edge-of-city properties. Homes on or near unpaved ranch roads around Round Rock’s periphery see their dryer vent cap screens clog with fine limestone dust and cedar pollen faster than paved-subdivision homes. The homeowner notices drying times slipping but rarely connects it to the exterior cap.
- Long flex-duct runs in detached shops and garage laundries. Wood heat and rural outbuilding laundries mean dryer runs in detached shops and garages are often long, flex-duct runs with sagging low spots that trap lint. A lint pathway that never gets the annual attention a main-house short run does.
- Collapsed flex duct in Dell-boom attics. In Dell-boom tract homes built roughly 1998-2008, the vent run crosses an attic that hits 140°F+, and the builder-grade flex duct there has often pulled loose at the boot or collapsed, hiding a large secondary lint reservoir behind a dryer that still seems to work.
- Cedar pollen hardening inside duct walls. Round Rock’s mountain cedar season deposits fine, oily pollen that binds with lint into a dense, crusted layer on flex-duct ribbing. Standard brushing often won’t break it free; agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction are required.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Round Rock
Every 8-12 months for rural and edge-of-city properties on or near unpaved roads, compared to the 12-18 month interval typical for paved-subdivision homes. The fine dust loading from limestone road base and the concentrated cedar pollen from Round Rock’s position in the Balcones Escarpment corridor clog exterior cap screens and interior duct walls faster than in-town properties. Homes with detached shop or garage laundries should also inspect the full run annually, as those longer flex-duct configurations have more sag points where lint accumulates. Call (737) 259-5752 and we’ll put a written maintenance interval in your job record.
Extended drying time almost always means restricted airflow, and in Round Rock the culprit is usually one of three things: a packed exterior cap screen (especially after cedar season), a partially collapsed flex-duct section in a superheated attic, or lint buildup at a low spot in a long run. The dryer itself is rarely the problem. We verify with a camera inspection and airflow measurement before quoting any work. Call (737) 259-5752 for a written estimate - the inspection itself is part of the standard service call.
Yes. These runs are typically longer, use more flex duct, and pass through unconditioned spaces where temperature swings cause expansion and contraction at joints. Sagging low spots trap lint that a short, straight main-house run would never accumulate. We inspect the full length with a camera, check slope and support, and replace sagging flex with rigid pipe where accessible. The documented photo record shows you exactly what was found in the shop run versus the house run. Schedule at (737) 259-5752.
Yes. Round Rock’s mix of mature neighborhoods and open land creates ideal nesting habitat. Unguarded vent terminations are common entry points, and we’ve found active nests, wasp colonies, and rodent debris in caps missing their screens. We install Guardsman caps with integrated bird guards as standard on every replacement, and we can add them to existing caps that are otherwise sound. The guard doesn’t restrict exhaust airflow when properly sized. Call (737) 259-5752 to inspect your current cap.
Yes. This is a routine failure mode for homes built 1998-2008 in Round Rock’s east and northeast growth corridors. The builder-grade flex duct thermally degrades, pulls loose at boots, or collapses entirely after 15-25 years of 140°F+ attic cycling. We replace the damaged section with rigid metal pipe where code and access allow, resecure connections with proper supports, and verify airflow at the exterior termination. The before-and-after photo record documents the collapsed section and the new installation. Written price before work starts, as always. Call (737) 259-5752.
