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 Alafaya
Dryer vent cleaning in Alafaya typically runs $150-$275 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in 60 to 90 minutes with the dryer back in service the same day. If your dryer is taking longer than one cycle to dry a load, or if the laundry room feels unusually warm, that’s the most common sign the vent run is restricted.
We’ve been working in Alafaya’s master-planned communities since 2005, and our crews know the difference between a Waterford Lakes two-story with a roof-jack termination and a Stoneybrook East ranch with a long horizontal run to a screened wall box. Our scheduling is coordinated from our Miami office, but the technicians who arrive at your door live and work in the Orlando metro area. They know Alafaya Trail at rush hour, they know which Avalon Park phases have the interior laundry walls that force those 25-foot vent runs, and they carry the right agitation tools and camera equipment for the job.

Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Alafaya’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Alafaya homeowners call us back because we treat the house like it’s our own. Our technicians wear shoe covers and lay drop cloths from the front door to the laundry room before touching anything. We give you a written price before any work starts, every single time, and we use quieter tools when we know there’s a toddler napping or a dog who’s nervous about strangers.
Our reviews from Alafaya customers consistently mention the same things: the technician explained exactly what they’d found before showing the camera footage, the invoice matched the written estimate, and the crew left a photo of the clean-up on the counter before they left. That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise in action, and it’s how we’ve built our reputation across Orange County.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Alafaya
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Alafaya addresses a problem most homeowners don’t notice until it’s already costing them money: restricted airflow through vent runs that are longer, more complex, and more debris-prone than the short side-wall vents found in older Orlando neighborhoods. Our process starts with a camera inspection of the full vent line, followed by mechanical agitation under negative pressure to dislodge lint buildup, then a final airflow verification at the exterior termination. A typical Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Alafaya runs $150-$275 depending on run length, termination type, and whether the transition hose behind the dryer also needs replacement.
Camera Inspection and Lint Removal
We feed a lighted camera through the vent run before we touch anything. In Alafaya’s 1990s and 2000s-era homes, we regularly find lint packed solid at the first elbow of a 20-to-30-foot run, or a flex transition hose crushed to a slit behind the dryer where the builder wedged it against the wall. Seeing the problem before we quote it means no surprises on the invoice.
Roof Jack and Exterior Termination Clearing
Many Alafaya homes terminate at a second-story roof jack or a screened wall box that catches Florida debris as well as lint. We clear these from the outside and verify the flap opens fully under dryer airflow. If the screen is damaged or the cap is missing, we’ll note it in the written report.
Dryer Vent Installation in Alafaya
Dryer Vent Installation in Alafaya is most often needed when a homeowner replaces an aging flex-duct run with rigid metal, relocates the laundry room during a remodel, or corrects a builder installation that never met code for run length or support spacing. A proper Dryer Vent Installation in Alafaya uses smooth-wall rigid aluminum, limits elbows to what’s actually necessary, and secures the line with proper strapping so it doesn’t sag and collect lint in the low spots. Typical Dryer Vent Installation in Alafaya ranges from $350-$650 for a standard reroute or replacement, and up to $900-$1,400 if we’re cutting new penetrations or running a long vertical to a new roof jack.
Rigid Metal Upgrades from Flex Duct
The flex transition hose behind most Alafaya dryers is a lint trap waiting to happen. We replace it with smooth-wall rigid pipe where possible, or a UL-listed semi-rigid transition if space is tight. The difference in airflow is immediate and measurable.
Vent Rerouting for Remodels and Additions
Moving the laundry room to an interior wall? We can design a new run that meets IRC code for maximum length and elbow count, with proper support and slope for condensation drainage. We pull permits when required and coordinate with your contractor’s schedule.
Trusted Brands We Service in Alafaya
Our trucks carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, not the rental-shop vacuums some competitors show up with. For Alafaya homeowners, that means we can handle everything from a standard lint clearing to a full vent replacement with the right fittings on the truck already. We stock common termination caps, roof jacks, and wall boxes for the Alafaya market, so most jobs don’t wait on parts. The agitation tools we use are designed specifically for dryer vent work, with soft enough bristles to protect smooth-wall duct and enough torque to break up packed lint at the elbows where Alafaya’s long runs tend to clog.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Alafaya Homes
- Crushed flex transition behind the dryer. In Alafaya’s slab-on-grade homes with interior laundry walls, the builder often left just enough gap between the dryer and the wall to kink the transition hose flat. That chokes airflow before lint even reaches the main vent run, and it’s invisible unless you pull the dryer out completely.
- Lint wall at the first elbow of a long run. Waterford Lakes and Stoneybrook East homes commonly have 24-to-30-foot vent runs with two or three elbows. The first 90° bend is where we find the densest buildup, a felt-like mat that no homeowner can reach with a shop vac or leaf blower.
- Screened exterior boxes and roof jacks clogged with debris. Florida’s pollen seasons and storm events pack lint and organic matter into the screens and flaps at the termination point. The flap can’t open fully, so the dryer blower works against back-pressure and the high-limit thermostat starts tripping.
- Apartment and rental units near UCF with years of deferred maintenance. In the dense rental corridors along University Boulevard and Alafaya Trail, we open vents that haven’t been touched in five or more years despite near-continuous tenant turnover. The combination of pet dander, fabric softener residue, and construction dust from unit renovations creates a fire-risk buildup that a fresh filter at move-in can’t address.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alafaya, FL
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Alafaya runs $150-$275 for most single-family homes, with apartment and townhome units typically at the lower end of that range. Dryer vent installation or rerouting starts around $350 and ranges up to $1,400 for complex jobs involving new roof penetrations or long vertical runs.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alafaya
The builder’s dryer vent installation in 2004-era Alafaya homes often used a long flex-duct run with minimal support, and the transition hose behind the dryer was frequently crushed during final appliance placement. That original installation, plus 15-20 years of normal lint accumulation in a 25-foot run with multiple elbows, means even a relatively new house can have severe airflow restriction. In Avalon Park specifically, we’ve found that the interior laundry wall configuration forces a longer vent run than the dryer was really designed for, accelerating the problem. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll camera-inspect it at no charge.
Walk outside while the dryer is running on high heat and listen for airflow at the exterior wall near the laundry room; if you don’t feel warm, forceful air, the vent likely runs to a roof jack. In Alafaya’s two-story homes in Waterford Lakes and Stoneybrook East, roof terminations are more common because the laundry room is on an interior wall with no direct exterior access. Roof jacks are harder to inspect and clean yourself, which is why most homeowners call us once they notice drying times stretching past one cycle.
Yes. A crushed transition hose can reduce airflow by 50% or more, forcing the dryer to run longer, overheat, and trip the high-limit thermostat. In Alafaya’s long-run homes, that crushed hose is often the primary restriction, not the main vent line at all. We check it first on every job, and we carry replacement semi-rigid or rigid transitions on the truck. The fix is usually under $50 parts and labor if we’re already there for the cleaning.
In the rental corridors along Alafaya Trail and University Boulevard, we routinely open vents that haven’t been cleaned in five to ten years despite constant tenant turnover. Expect significant lint buildup, possibly a damaged or missing exterior screen, and sometimes a flex transition that’s been crushed by multiple tenant moves. We work with tenants and landlords, provide a written report with photos, and can bill either party depending on your lease terms. The cleaning itself takes 60-90 minutes and the dryer will run noticeably cooler and faster afterward.
Yes, and we recommend it. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team can coordinate the work in the same visit, which saves you a second appointment and often reduces the combined price. The same negative-pressure equipment and camera system we use for ductwork applies to dryer vents, and since both systems share the same air handler environment in many Alafaya homes, addressing them together gives you a complete picture of your home’s airflow health. Ask about bundled pricing when you call (323) 918-4345.
