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 Heathrow
Dryer vent cleaning in Heathrow typically runs $180-$340 for a single system and is completed in two to three hours, with camera-verified documentation provided before our crew leaves. If your home’s dryer takes two cycles to finish a load or the laundry room feels unusually humid, the problem is almost always a blocked vent run - and in Heathrow’s original-build homes, that blockage is rarely where you can see it.
We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning team serves Heathrow from our Miami scheduling office. Paul Adeyemi and our crew know the community’s housing stock intimately: the large executive homes off International Parkway, the two-story builds near Heathrow Country Club, the lake-proximate lots where humidity stays stubbornly high through every season. These aren’t cookie-cutter houses with short, straight vent runs. They’re 25-40-year-old systems with long attic chases, original flex duct that has sagged and collapsed at hanger points, and lint accumulation that standard brushes simply skate past. We don’t quote from the laundry room alone. We inspect the full run with a camera, show you what we find, and give you a written price before any work starts. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Heathrow’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Heathrow homeowners call us back because we treat their homes the way we’d want our own treated. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, with shoe covers and drop cloths already in hand. We work to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values, which means quiet tools during nap hours, pet-safe product choices where available, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave - every single visit.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a slogan we mention when asked. It’s stamped on every job. If something isn’t right, we make it right. Full stop. That matters in a community like Heathrow, where homes are significant investments and residents expect accountability. We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our equipment reflects that longevity: Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro negative-air machines, and inspection cameras that let you see what we see.
A live person answers our phone 24/7. Not a voicemail tree. Not a chatbot. When you’re trying to schedule around school pickup or a dog that needs walking, that matters. And because we coordinate dispatch from our Miami office, we can typically book Heathrow appointments within a few business days - sometimes sooner if there’s a genuine safety concern.
Dryer Vent Installation in Heathrow
Dryer Vent Installation in Heathrow becomes necessary when the original 1980s or 1990s flex run has degraded beyond safe repair, when you’re relocating laundry equipment to a different floor, or when a home addition has extended the vent path beyond code limits. In Heathrow’s large executive homes, we frequently see installations where the previous run was simply too long, too convoluted, or terminated in a location that traps moisture against the home’s exterior. A proper installation here means rigid metal ducting where possible, correct slope for condensation drainage, and a termination cap that keeps Seminole County’s driving rain and wildlife out.
A typical Dryer Vent Installation in Heathrow runs $450-$850 depending on run length, attic accessibility, and whether we need to core through masonry or stucco. We always provide a written price before starting.
Rigid Metal Upgrades for Long Attic Runs
Heathrow’s original-build homes often have flex duct spanning 30-50 feet through attics that reach 140°F in July. We replace these with smooth-wall rigid metal where accessible, reducing friction loss and eliminating the sag points where lint collects. The difference in airflow is measurable - we verify it with a handheld anemometer before we leave.
Code-Compliant Terminations
Many Heathrow homes still terminate through soffits or against walls where moisture damages siding. We relocate terminations to code-compliant exterior positions with proper clearances, using Guardsman caps and bird guards sized for Central Florida’s squirrel and nesting-bird pressure.
Dryer Vent Repair in Heathrow
Dryer Vent Repair in Heathrow addresses the specific failure modes of this community’s vintage housing stock: disconnected joints in attic flex runs, crushed duct behind dryers that have been pushed too close to walls, and damaged termination caps that let rain and pests into the system. Because Heathrow’s homes are large and the vent runs are long, a small disconnect in the attic can vent moist, lint-laden air into your insulation for months before you notice the dryer struggling.
Typical Dryer Vent Repair in Heathrow costs $220-$480, with simpler repairs like cap replacement or reconnection at the lower end, and multi-point repairs in long attic runs at the higher end. We camera-inspect first, show you the damage, and quote in writing.
Attic Chase Reconnection and Support
The flex runs in Heathrow’s two-story homes often pull apart at couplings or collapse at hanger points after decades of thermal cycling. We don’t just reconnect and leave. We add proper support straps, seal joints with foil-backed tape rated for high temperatures, and verify the entire run’s integrity with our inspection camera.
Transition Hose Replacement Behind the Dryer
The short flex hose behind your dryer is the most frequently disturbed component - and the most commonly kinked or crushed. We replace these with fire-resistant, UL-listed transition ducts and leave enough service loop that routine cleaning behind the machine won’t strain the connection.
Trusted Brands We Service in Heathrow
Our trucks carry parts and materials from Rotobrush, Nikro, Aprilaire, and Guardsman - brands we chose because they hold up in Central Florida’s punishing attic conditions. For Heathrow homeowners, that means faster repairs without waiting for special orders. When we find a damaged termination cap on a Saturday morning, we likely have the replacement in the van. When a flex run needs full replacement, we’re not improvising with hardware-store materials that will fail in two years. The equipment we use for cleaning - Rotobrush agitation whips and Nikro HEPA-filtered negative air machines - is professional-grade, not rental-grade. That distinction matters when you’re working in a 5,000 square foot home where any escaped lint gets pulled into three separate return systems.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Heathrow Homes
- Collapsed flex runs at attic hanger points. In Heathrow’s original-build two-story homes, the dryer’s lint pathway often shares its long attic chase with sagging horizontal flex-duct runs that have collapsed at hanger points, meaning a dryer vent cleaning that only addresses the visible run leaves decades of lint trapped in one of the longest, hottest attic runs in Seminole County.
- Lint dams behind roof terminations. The long vertical rises common in Heathrow’s executive homes create natural collection points where lint compacts into dense, airflow-blocking masses - especially where the original builder used undersized duct or excessive elbows.
- Moisture-saturated lint from high humidity. Heathrow’s lake-dense geography keeps ambient humidity persistently high, and that moisture condenses inside cool vent runs when the dryer cycles off. Wet lint sticks to duct walls instead of blowing through, accelerating buildup far faster than in drier inland communities.
- Bird and rodent nesting in damaged caps. The mature landscaping around Heathrow’s established lots provides cover for wildlife, and a missing or damaged termination cap is an open invitation. We’ve pulled complete nests from runs that the homeowner thought were “just a little slow.”
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Heathrow, FL
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Heathrow runs $180-$340 for a single system. Homes with multiple laundry setups - increasingly common as original owners have finished basements or added pool-house utilities - are priced per system, with the second and third runs typically at reduced rates when done together. Dryer Vent Repair in Heathrow generally falls between $220-$480, and full Dryer Vent Installation in Heathrow ranges $450-$850.
What moves you within these ranges? Run length and accessibility are the biggest factors. A straight, short run to an exterior wall is straightforward. A 40-foot flex run through a 140°F attic with two collapsed hanger points takes longer, requires more specialized equipment, and demands camera verification that the job is complete. We don’t guess. We inspect, we show you, we quote in writing, and that price doesn’t change once work begins.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Heathrow
The most common cause is a partially blocked vent run, and in Heathrow’s original-build two-story homes, that blockage is almost always in the long attic flex run rather than the visible section behind the dryer. The 25-40-year-old flex duct in these homes has typically sagged or collapsed at hanger points, creating lint dams that restrict airflow to the point where moist air can’t escape efficiently. We camera-inspect the full run to locate the exact restriction, clear it with agitation tools and negative pressure, and verify improved airflow before we leave. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free inspection.
No. Dryer vent cleaning and air duct cleaning are separate services with separate equipment and pricing. However, because Heathrow’s original-build homes often have the dryer chase and HVAC ductwork sharing long, hot attic runs, we frequently recommend inspecting both while we’re on site. If your return ducts are pulling lint and moisture from a compromised laundry area, you’ll see the same symptoms - longer dry times, musty odors, uneven temperatures - from a completely different cause. We can quote both, but we never bundle them without your explicit approval.
You should demand documentation you can see. At Morton’s, that means before-and-after photos from our inspection camera, a handheld anemometer reading showing measurable airflow improvement, and a written report on the condition of any remaining original ductwork. After a 1990s two-story on Heathrow Country Club’s wetland side, our tech pulled the dryer and found the flex run had collapsed at two attic hanger points, forming a lint dam our camera inspection caught before we quoted. We used agitation tools and negative pressure to clear the full lint pathway to the roof termination, then verified airflow with a handheld anemometer and gave the homeowner before/after photos plus a written report on the remaining run condition. The blower pulls clearly quieter now, and the homeowner knows exactly what’s still in the chase. Anything less is just trusting a stranger with a brush.
The trap catches perhaps 25% of lint produced. The rest enters the vent run, and in Heathrow’s specific conditions - high humidity that wets lint and makes it stick, long attic runs that cool and condense moisture, and 25-40-year-old flex duct with internal roughness - that lint accumulates faster than in newer or drier communities. Cleaning the trap is necessary but not sufficient. Annual professional cleaning is the standard recommendation for homes with heavy dryer use, and bi-annual if you have a large household or pets that generate bedding and towel laundry.
No. Dryer vent pricing is based on the number of dryer vent systems, not HVAC zones. However, there’s an important connection: in Heathrow’s large executive homes, the long attic runs for your three AC systems often share chase space with the dryer vent, and the same humidity and degradation conditions affect all of them. If we’re already in your attic with our camera and negative-air equipment, inspecting the HVAC ductwork while we’re there is efficient and may reveal issues - like collapsed return ducts pulling laundry-room air into your system - that explain persistent odors or uneven cooling. We price each service separately and only perform what you approve.
