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.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Kendall
Dryer vent cleaning in Kendall typically runs $180-$340 for a standard residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few business days. If your dryer is taking two cycles to finish a load or the laundry room feels unusually hot, the blockage is almost certainly past the trap, in the attic run you can’t see.
We’ve been working in Kendall since Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning was founded in 2005, and our crews know the local housing stock inside out. The concrete-block-and-stucco tract homes built from the mid-1960s through the early 2000s, the attic-mounted flex duct baking at 140°F-plus through eight months of South Florida heat, the way western subdivisions like The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes pull in that heavy Everglades moisture. Our scheduling is coordinated from our Miami office, but the technicians who arrive at your door live and work in South Florida. They know SW 137th Avenue from SW 147th Avenue, and they know what they’ll find in a 1983 CBS home versus a 1998 build. Call us at (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate, or read on to understand why Kendall’s climate and housing age make this job different here than almost anywhere else.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Kendall’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Families in Kendall call us back because we treat the house like it’s our own. Shoe covers and drop cloths go down before any tool comes out. We work around nap schedules when there’s a toddler down the hall, and we keep the noise down around pet areas. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform, working to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values that govern how we move through your home.
Before we touch anything, you get a written price. No exceptions. That price covers the full system, not a per-foot teaser that balloons once we’re on the ladder. After the job, we send you a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves, so you can see the work was done and your home was left better than we found it. And if something isn’t right, our 365-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right. Full stop.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and other industry-trusted brands, not rental shop vacs that can’t handle what Kendall attics throw at them. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a chatbot or voicemail maze.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Kendall
Dryer Vent Inspection in Kendall starts with a camera run through the full vent pathway, from the back of your dryer to the exterior termination, because the real problem is almost never where you can reach it. In Kendall’s 1970s-1990s suburban buildout, original flex runs were routed through attics that now exceed 140°F for months at a stretch. That heat bakes lint into a hardened, resin-like mat that a standard brush kit simply rides over. A camera shows us exactly where the mat forms, whether the run is crushed behind the attic air handler, and whether the vent is actually terminating outside or dumping into your attic space. A typical Dryer Vent Inspection in Kendall runs $120-$180, and if you proceed with cleaning, we apply that inspection fee toward the work.
What the Camera Reveals
Most Kendall homeowners assume the vent is clear because they clean the trap. The camera usually tells a different story. We regularly find blockages 5-15 feet past the trap, in the attic flex where decades of lint have compacted into a solid mass. We also find disconnected runs that terminate into the attic itself, blowing hot, humid, lint-laden air directly into the space your AC is trying to cool and dehumidify.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Call for an inspection if your dry time has crept up over the past year, if the laundry room smells hot during operation, or if you’ve never had the vent professionally inspected since buying the home. In Kendall’s older subdivisions, original runs from the 1980s are now 40-plus years old. The flex cracks, sags, and separates. An inspection gives you the full picture before a small annoyance becomes a real problem.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendall
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendall serves the multi-unit buildings, property management portfolios, and commercial laundry operations that keep this community running. Kendall’s commercial stock includes 1970s-era condo associations along Kendall Drive, newer townhome developments near Dadeland, and service businesses with on-site laundry. These systems accumulate lint faster than single-family homes because of higher cycle volumes, and the liability exposure is greater. A typical commercial dryer vent cleaning in Kendall runs $280-$550 per system depending on run length, access difficulty, and whether the vent serves multiple units. We schedule these jobs to minimize disruption to residents and operations, and we provide written documentation for property managers who need records for insurance or association requirements.
Multi-Unit and HOA Properties
Condo associations in Kendall often have shared vent stacks or extended horizontal runs that individual owners can’t maintain. We work with property managers to map the full system, identify which units share common pathways, and clean without entering individual residences unless necessary. Our crew brings enough drop cloths and protective gear to work cleanly through occupied hallways and common areas.
Documentation and Compliance
Every commercial job includes before-and-after photos and a written summary of the vent condition. If we find crushed or disconnected runs, we flag them for repair and provide a separate written quote. Property managers in Kendall use our documentation for insurance renewals, fire safety inspections, and association records.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We carry parts and fittings from Rotobrush, Nikro, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, so most repairs don’t require a second trip. When we find a crushed flex run in a Kendall attic, we can often replace it with rigid metal pipe same-day because the right materials are on the van. That matters in a market where the heat and humidity don’t give you time to wait. We also stock Guardsman protective products for floor and surface protection during the job. If your vent cap is damaged or missing, we carry replacement caps that match South Florida wind-load requirements, which are stricter than what you’ll find at a big-box store.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Hardened lint mats in attic runs. At Kendall’s Everglades fringe, the 140°F-plus attic heat bakes lint into a resin-like mass that standard brushes can’t dislodge. We remove it with agitation tools under negative pressure, not shop vacs.
- Crushed or disconnected flex behind the air handler. Original 1970s-80s flex runs were often pinched during AC installations or have sagged and separated over decades. The vent terminates into the attic, not outside, and no amount of surface cleaning fixes that.
- Disconnected runs feeding attic moisture back into ducts. When a vent separates in the attic, hot humid lint-laden air dumps into the same space that houses your AC return plenum. The system pulls that contamination back through your registers.
- Roof caps clogged with baked debris. Kendall’s intense sun and rain cycles degrade plastic caps faster than inland climates. We replace them with metal caps that vent properly and keep birds and rodents out.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendall, FL
Most residential dryer vent cleanings in Kendall fall between $180 and $340. Here’s how that breaks down:
- Standard residential dryer vent cleaning: $180-$240
- Vent cleaning with moderate blockage or extended run: $240-$290
- Cleaning with section replacement (crushed or disconnected flex): $290-$340
- Dryer Vent Inspection (camera run, written report): $120-$180
- Commercial dryer vent cleaning: $280-$550 per system
- Bird guard or vent cap replacement: $85-$140
- Vent rerouting (rigid metal replacement of damaged flex): $340-$520
What moves you up or down in these ranges? Run length matters. A short through-wall vent costs less than a 25-foot attic run to a roof cap. Access difficulty matters. Some Kendall attics have tight scuttle holes or HVAC equipment blocking the path. And the condition of the blockage matters. Loose lint is faster to remove than a hardened mat that’s been baking since the Reagan administration.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kendall
Restricted airflow from a blocked vent is the cause in nearly every case we see. In Kendall, the blockage is usually a hardened lint mat 5-15 feet past your trap, in the attic flex run where the 140°F heat has baked it solid. A camera inspection finds the exact location. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll show you what’s in there.
Cleaning alone won’t fix a crushed or disconnected run. We cut out the damaged section and re-run rigid metal pipe to the exterior cap, then clean the intact portions. We give you a written price for the full repair before starting. Most section replacements in Kendall run $290-$340 total.
Yes. Kendall’s western subdivisions pull in higher ambient moisture than coastal Miami-Dade neighborhoods. That humidity condenses inside cool vent runs, causing lint to clump and stick. Combined with attic heat that hardens those clumps, you get blockages that don’t form the same way in drier climates.
It is. Lint is highly combustible, and a restricted vent forces the dryer to run hotter and longer. In Kendall’s older homes with original 1970s-80s flex runs, the added risk is a disconnected vent dumping hot lint into the attic near electrical equipment. Annual inspection and cleaning removes the fuel source.
We do. Multi-unit properties, HOA-managed buildings, and commercial laundry operations throughout Kendall are part of our regular schedule. We provide written documentation for property managers and schedule around resident hours. Commercial systems in Kendall typically run $280-$550 depending on configuration.
