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 Hornsby Bend
Dryer vent cleaning in Hornsby Bend typically runs $150-$275 for a standard single-family system, and most jobs are completed in under two hours with the home left exactly as we found it. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews serve Hornsby Bend from our Austin coordination office, carrying Rotobrush and Nikro equipment built for the longer runs and heavier particulate loads common on rural and semi-rural properties here. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free written estimate before any work starts.
Hornsby Bend isn’t like the neighborhoods closer to downtown Austin. Properties sit on acreage off FM 973 and FM 969, with manufactured homes on piers, outbuilding laundry setups, and ranch-style houses heated partly by wood stoves in winter. The dryer vents here work harder and clog faster than most homeowners expect. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team knows the area because we drive it regularly, not just on the occasional dispatch.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Hornsby Bend’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our reputation in Hornsby Bend has grown through repeat calls from families who’ve learned they can trust the price we write down before we start. Paul Adeyemi leads our operations, and every technician who crosses the Colorado River floodplain to reach a Hornsby Bend home is background-checked, uniformed, and working to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values. That means shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we step inside, quieter tools during nap hours, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave.
Scheduling is coordinated from our Austin office, but the crews are local and know the area. They understand that a call from a property off Loyola Lane might mean a quarter-mile driveway, or that a manufactured home near the biosolids plant needs extra attention to flex runs beneath the floor. We don’t rush. We don’t surprise you with a higher bill. And our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we make it right, full stop.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Hornsby Bend
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company service in Hornsby Bend means more than pushing a brush through a wall cap. The lint here carries wood-heat ash, unpaved-road dust, and fine organic particulates from the nearby Austin Water Hornsby Bend Biosolids Management Plant, a combination that builds faster and carries more microbial load than standard Central Texas lint. Our crews use Rotobrush agitation tools with HEPA-contained negative pressure to pull that material out completely, not just dislodge it. A typical residential cleaning in Hornsby Bend runs $150-$225; manufactured homes with long flex runs or outbuilding systems range $200-$275.
Most Hornsby Bend homes need annual service. Only low-use households with short, hard-piped runs can stretch to two years. The floodplain humidity here, higher than upland Austin, means lint trapped in flex ducts absorbs moisture and can support mold colonization. That’s not a scare tactic. It’s what we find when we camera-inspect runs that haven’t been opened in three or four years.
What We Clean on Every Visit
We pull the dryer out, disconnect the transition duct, and clean the full run from lint trap to termination hood with agitation and negative pressure. The lint trap housing, transition duct, and exterior vent flap all get attention. On properties near the biosolids plant, we often find the termination hood packed with dark organic residue that looks like soil but isn’t. We clear it.
Protecting Your Home During Service
Drop cloths go down before equipment comes in. Shoe covers stay on until we leave. If there’s a dog on the floor or a toddler down the hall, our techs work accordingly. The Cedarwell Care Promise isn’t a slogan. It’s a system.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Hornsby Bend
Dryer Vent Inspection in Hornsby Bend should happen before you buy a property, after any floodplain water intrusion, and whenever drying times start creeping up. Our camera inspection runs $85-$125 as a standalone service, or it’s included with full cleaning when we find reason to scope the run. The inspection reveals crushed flex, disconnected joints, improper slope, and the organic residue buildup that’s distinctive to this area.
We recently handled a dryer vent cleaning on a manufactured home off FM 973 near the Colorado River floodplain, where the homeowner reported clothes taking two full cycles to dry. Our tech found a crushed, lint-packed flex run under the floor, cleared it with agitation tools under negative pressure and HEPA filtration, then scoped the lint pathway with a camera inspection. Air flow through the Guardsman-style termination hood returned to normal and drying time dropped back to a single cycle.
When to Schedule an Inspection
New homeowners in Hornsby Bend should know what they’re inheriting. Manufactured homes especially often have DIY modifications, stapled flex runs, and terminations that don’t meet current code. An inspection gives you a written report and a clear picture of what’s safe and what needs work.
Inspection Finds Hidden Problems
Long flex runs under manufactured homes sag, collect lint at low points, and trap floodplain moisture. Camera inspection shows us what a brush alone cannot. We document everything and explain it before quoting any repair.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hornsby Bend
Our trucks carry professional equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, brands chosen because they hold up to the heavy particulate loads and longer duct runs common in Hornsby Bend’s rural housing stock. Rotobrush cable systems handle the agitation and HEPA extraction for main runs. Nikro portable vacuums and camera systems let us inspect and clean flex ducts in tight crawl spaces under manufactured homes. Guardsman termination hoods and vent caps are what we install when replacements are needed, because the hinged design resists the organic particulate packing that jams cheaper flaps. We stock common parts so Hornsby Bend customers aren’t waiting on a second trip.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Hornsby Bend Homes
- Crushed flex under manufactured homes. Stapled beneath the floor or through unconditioned crawl spaces, these runs sag, collapse, and trap lint mixed with floodplain moisture. The result is a mold-colonized clog, not just a slow dryer.
- Organic residue packing the termination hood. Windborne particulates from the biosolids plant coat exterior vent flaps with dark, fine-grained material that looks like soil. Homeowners clean the lint trap religiously but never think to check the wall cap.
- Wood-heat ash passing through standard traps. Fine ash particles from wood stoves slip past lint screens and build up in the full run, combining with road dust and compost-origin material to form a dense, layered clog.
- Outbuilding and detached laundry setups. Barns, shop buildings, and guest-house laundry rooms often have long, uninsulated runs with improper slope. They freeze in rare cold snaps and cook in summer heat, accelerating flex deterioration and lint adhesion.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hornsby Bend, TX
Most Hornsby Bend homeowners pay $150-$225 for a standard dryer vent cleaning on a single-family home with a hard-piped or moderate-length flex run. Manufactured homes with long under-floor flex, outbuilding systems, or runs requiring camera inspection and antimicrobial treatment typically fall in the $200-$275 range. Bird guard installation runs $75-$125. Vent cap replacement with a Guardsman hinged hood is $85-$150 installed. Vent rerouting, when a run is improperly sloped or dangerously configured, is quoted individually after inspection.
What moves the price? Length of run, accessibility, condition of existing materials, and whether we find the organic-microbial buildup common near the biosolids plant that warrants antimicrobial treatment. We give you one flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any work starts. No per-vent pricing. No coupon that balloons once the van is in your driveway. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll talk through your setup.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hornsby Bend
Annually, for most homes here. The combination of unpaved-road dust, wood-heat ash, and biosolids-plant particulates builds faster than standard Central Texas lint, and floodplain humidity turns trapped lint into a mold risk in flex runs. Only low-use households with short, hard-piped runs can go two years. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.
Yes. Manufactured homes here typically use long flex duct stapled beneath the floor or through crawl spaces, which sag, crush, and trap moisture from the high-humidity floodplain environment. We camera-inspect these runs as standard practice and often find mold-colonized clogs, not just lint. The cleaning requires specialized agitation tools and HEPA-contained negative pressure.
Hornsby Bend’s rural environment adds three particulate sources Austin homes don’t face: unpaved-road dust, wood-heat ash in winter, and windborne organic material from the biosolids management plant. That material passes through standard lint traps, builds faster, and carries elevated microbial loads. Your vent isn’t failing. It’s working in a harder environment.
Yes. We regularly service barns, shop buildings, and guest-house laundry setups on Hornsby Bend acreage. These runs are often longer, uninsulated, and improperly sloped, so we start with a camera inspection to assess condition before quoting cleaning or rerouting. The same written upfront price applies.
Our standard service includes full-run cleaning from lint trap to termination hood, plus inspection of the transition duct and exterior vent flap. In Hornsby Bend, we often find the organic residue from biosolids-plant drift warrants antimicrobial treatment, which we offer as a standard recommendation, not a hidden upsell. We also check for proper airflow, correct any minor disconnections, and leave a photo of the clean-up.
