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 Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Aldine’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our Aldine customers come back because we treat their homes like our own. Our technicians wear shoe covers and lay drop cloths from the moment they walk in, and they’re trained to work quietly around napping kids and skittish pets. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise, stamped on the invoice, not offered only when you ask.
A live person answers our phone 24/7, no voicemail maze. We dispatch to Aldine regularly, so we know the area’s housing stock, the long vent runs common in slab-foundation homes, and the unique problems left behind by Hurricane Harvey’s floodwaters. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, not rental shop gear, and we provide a written price before any work starts, every single time.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Aldine
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Aldine means more than pulling lint from the trap. We inspect the full lint pathway from the dryer back to the exterior cap, using camera inspection and agitation tools to remove blockages that standard brushing misses. Most Aldine homes need this every 12-18 months, though properties on unpaved roads or near open land may need it sooner due to heavier dust and pollen loading.
A typical Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Aldine runs $150-$220 for a straightforward single-story home with a short vent run. Longer runs, second-story vents, or significant blockage removal can push that to $250-$280. We always inspect first and give you a written price before we start.
Camera Inspection and Source Removal
We feed a small camera through the vent to show you what’s actually in there. In Aldine’s older neighborhoods near Greens Bayou, we regularly find hardened deposits of lint mixed with fine silt, a residue from past flooding that standard cleaning brushes can’t dislodge. Our Nikro HEPA-filtered negative pressure system captures that debris instead of blowing it into your laundry room.
Exterior Cap and Bird Guard Check
We inspect and clean the exterior termination point, checking for damaged flappers, missing screens, or bird nests. If your cap is cracked or the wrong type for Aldine’s high humidity, we’ll note it and give you options. We don’t upsell, but we do tell you what we see.
Dryer Vent Installation in Aldine
Dryer Vent Installation in Aldine addresses the problems we see in homes built during the 1960s-1980s tract-home boom: long, convoluted vent runs through attics, flexible ductwork damaged by years of 140°F summer heat, and improper terminations that trap moisture. A proper installation shortens the path, uses rigid metal ducting where code allows, and places the exterior cap where it can actually vent.
Dryer Vent Installation in Aldine typically costs $280-$450 for a standard reroute or replacement, depending on the length of run, attic access, and whether we’re replacing damaged flex duct with rigid metal. Complex jobs involving multiple stories or significant drywall repair can reach $500-$650. We measure, show you the plan, and give you a written price before we cut anything.
Vent Rerouting for Slab-Foundation Homes
Many Aldine slab homes were built with dryers pushed against interior walls, forcing vent runs of 25 feet or more through hot attics. We reroute these to shorter, more direct paths where possible, improving drying efficiency and reducing fire risk. Our crews know how to work in Aldine’s tight attic spaces without damaging your ceiling.
Bird Guard and Cap Replacement
We install proper vent caps with bird guards that meet local code and stand up to Harris County’s humidity. Cheap caps corrode and stick open or closed; we use quality hardware that lasts. If you’re hearing birds in your vent or seeing lint blowback into the laundry room, this is likely what you need.
Trusted Brands We Service in Aldine
Our crews arrive with professional equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, brands we’ve trusted for years because they hold up to daily use in tough conditions. For Aldine’s unique challenges, Harvey sediment and humidity-hardened lint, we rely on Rotobrush’s agitation systems and Nikro’s HEPA-filtered extractors to do source removal without contaminating your home. We stock common caps, bird guards, and rigid duct fittings locally, so most Aldine installations don’t require a second trip. That means your laundry room gets back to normal faster, and you’re not waiting on parts while wet clothes pile up.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Aldine Homes
- Long vent runs accumulating lint and road dust. Aldine’s unincorporated tract homes on slab foundations often have dryer vents stretching 25 feet or more through attics. That length, combined with dust from unpaved roads and open land, creates blockages that standard cleaning misses and that force your dryer to work harder.
- Harvey sediment mixed with lint in low-lying ducts. In neighborhoods near Greens Bayou, we regularly find a crusty mat of lint and dried silty sediment inside low vent runs, residue from 2017 floodwater that homeowners never knew entered the system. It restricts airflow and creates a genuine fire hazard.
- Attic heat damaging flex ductwork. Aldine’s attic temperatures regularly exceed 140°F in summer, cracking the flexible duct liners used in older homes. Those cracks shed insulation fibers that migrate into the dryer vent, mixing with lint and reducing airflow while increasing fire risk.
- Humidity-hardened lint deposits. Harris County’s 80-90% overnight humidity means damp lint clings to duct walls instead of blowing through. Over time it hardens into a shell that requires agitation tools and camera inspection to remove, not just a brush and a prayer.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Aldine
Every 12-18 months for most homes, but every 9-12 months if you’re on an unpaved road or near open land where dust and pollen loading is heavier. The rural dust around Aldine combines with lint faster than in fully developed suburbs, and longer vent runs in slab-foundation homes compound the problem. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll help you set a schedule that matches your property.
Restricted airflow from lint blockage is almost always the cause, and in Aldine it’s often worse than elsewhere due to long vent runs and humidity-hardened deposits. We recently serviced a home off Aldine Mail Route near Greens Bayou where the dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load. A camera inspection revealed a thick mat of lint and dried silt inside the low-lying duct run, likely left by Hurricane Harvey floodwater. Using agitation tools and negative pressure with HEPA filtration, we performed source removal and restored proper airflow, cutting drying time back to a single cycle. If your dryer’s struggling, call us for an inspection.
Yes, especially in low-lying neighborhoods near Greens Bayou where floodwater entered homes in 2017. That fine silty sediment dries inside duct runs, mixes with lint, and forms a crusty blockage that standard cleaning brushes can’t remove. We’ve found this in homes where the visible water damage was repaired years ago, but the ductwork was never properly inspected. Our camera inspection will show you what’s actually in there.
We use professional-grade Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro HEPA-filtered negative pressure extractors, and Guardsman protective products. These aren’t rental-shop tools, they’re built for daily commercial use and hold up to Aldine’s tough conditions, Harvey sediment, humidity-hardened lint, and long vent runs. We maintain our equipment rigorously because a broken tool in your home means a return trip, and we don’t waste your time.
Absolutely. Harris County’s 80-90% overnight humidity means damp lint clings to duct walls instead of blowing through, forming hardened deposits that require more than basic brushing. High humidity also corrodes exterior vent caps faster and can cause moisture blowback into the laundry room if the termination point is poorly designed. We factor this into our Aldine inspections and recommend proper metal caps with functioning flappers, not the cheap plastic versions that stick open or closed.
