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 Cloverleaf
Dryer vent cleaning in Cloverleaf typically runs $150-$280 for a standard residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few days of your call. We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning team at Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve been working the east Harris County corridor since 2005. Our scheduling desk is at our Houston office, but our crews live and work in the communities they serve, including the ranch-style neighborhoods off Greens Bayou and the pier-and-beam homes near the San Jacinto River floodplain. We know the difference between a vent that’s merely clogged and one that’s been compromised by floodwater or petroleum residue from the Ship Channel corridor, and we document everything so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Cloverleaf’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Cloverleaf by showing up prepared for conditions most duct cleaners outside east Harris County rarely encounter. Our technicians carry camera inspection equipment on every truck because a vent that feels clear to a rodding tool can still be lined with the dark, tacky petroleum film we find on west-facing Cloverleaf homes downwind of the refineries.
Cloverleaf families tell us the same thing after every visit: they appreciate that we lay down drop cloths and wear shoe covers before stepping past the threshold, that we keep tools quiet during nap hours, and that we send a photo of the clean-up before we leave. It’s part of the Cedarwell Care Promise, and it’s how we’ve worked since Paul Adeyemi founded Morton’s in 2005.
Our response time to Cloverleaf is typically two to four business days for standard scheduling, though we always keep slots open for water-damage assessments when a recent storm or high-water event has moved through the area. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Cloverleaf
Dryer Vent Inspection in Cloverleaf is where we always start, because this community’s combination of aging pier-and-beam housing stock, subtropical humidity, and proximity to industrial particulate means the visible lint trap tells almost none of the real story. Our inspection runs $89-$129 and includes a full camera pass from the dryer connection through the exterior hood, airflow measurement at the termination point, and a written condition report with photos you can keep for your records or forward to your insurer.
Camera Inspection from Trap to Hood
We feed a lighted camera through the entire vent run, not just the first few feet. In Cloverleaf homes near the Ship Channel, we’re looking for the dark petroleum film that coats duct walls without forming a solid blockage, and in post-flood properties we’re checking for silt deposits and mold growth inside flex duct that looks dry from the outside. The camera doesn’t guess; it shows us exactly what’s there.
Airflow Verification and Documentation
After any cleaning or inspection, we measure airflow at the exterior hood with a calibrated anemometer and record the reading. If we’re documenting water damage for an insurance claim, this number becomes part of your file, along with before-and-after photos and a written statement of whether the duct is salvageable or requires replacement. No ambiguity, no hand-waving.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cloverleaf
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cloverleaf serves the laundromats, multi-family housing, and light industrial facilities that keep this community running, with pricing typically between $280-$550 per system depending on run length, access difficulty, and whether the vent serves multiple units. We schedule commercial work during off-peak hours to minimize disruption, and every job includes the same written upfront price, photo documentation, and 365-Day Done Right Promise that our residential customers receive.
Multi-Unit and Apartment Complex Protocols
Cloverleaf’s older apartment stock, much of it built during the 1960s and 1970s industrial boom, often has dryer vents that share chase space with supply and return ductwork. We never clean these without negative pressure containment and HEPA filtration, because loosened lint and mold spores would otherwise redistribute directly into neighboring units. Our Nikro portable HEPA systems capture particulate at the source.
Post-Flood Commercial Assessment
After any significant water event, commercial dryer vents in Cloverleaf’s low-lying areas need inspection before they’re put back in service. We document moisture intrusion, structural damage to the vent run, and contamination levels with photos and written reports formatted for insurance adjusters. If the duct is compromised, we’ll tell you plainly and quote replacement separately from cleaning.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cloverleaf
Our trucks carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, not the rental-grade tools you’ll find at the big-box store. For Cloverleaf homes dealing with petroleum-derived residue or post-flood mold contamination, that distinction matters. Rotobrush agitation brushes break the bond between oily film and duct wall without damaging aging flex duct. Nikro HEPA negative air machines keep loosened particulate from entering your living space during cleaning. Guardsman antimicrobial treatments, where appropriate, address mold and mildew without introducing harsh chemicals into homes with kids and pets. We stock common vent caps, hoods, and transition fittings for the 1950s-1970s housing stock prevalent in Cloverleaf, so most repairs don’t require a return visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Cloverleaf Homes
- Petroleum residue buildup on west-facing homes. Dryer vents on the Ship Channel side of Cloverleaf collect a dark, oily particulate film that clings to lint and duct walls. A standard rodding pass skates right past it, leaving the vent restricted even when the lint pathway appears clear. We only confirm airflow after camera inspection and source removal.
- Flood-damaged flex duct in pier-and-beam crawlspaces. After high-water events, flex dryer venting under Cloverleaf’s ranch-style homes often holds silt and mold that isn’t visible from either end. The exterior feels dry. The interior doesn’t. Camera inspection is the only way to know whether cleaning is sufficient or replacement is necessary.
- Shared plenum contamination without containment. When a dryer vent runs through the same chase as supply and return ducts, cleaning without negative pressure and HEPA filtration redistributes lint and mold spores into the air your family breathes. We see this frequently in Cloverleaf’s older, unpermitted retrofits.
- Condensation-driven lint compaction in humid crawlspaces. Cloverleaf’s combination of subtropical humidity and poor crawlspace ventilation means lint absorbs moisture, compacts, and adheres to duct walls more aggressively than in drier climates. Annual inspection catches this before it becomes a hard blockage.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cloverleaf, TX
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Cloverleaf runs $150-$280. Dryer Vent Inspection alone is $89-$129. Commercial systems start at $280 and typically reach $550 for multi-unit or extended-run configurations. Vent rerouting, bird guard installation, or cap replacement are quoted separately after inspection, with written prices provided before any work begins.
What moves a job toward the higher end? Longer vent runs common in pier-and-beam homes, access through cramped crawlspaces, significant petroleum residue requiring extended agitation time, or post-flood conditions demanding HEPA containment and documentation for insurance. What doesn’t affect our price: the number of laundry loads you run, the brand of your dryer, or whether we find something unexpected once we’re inside the duct. The price we write down before we start is the price on your invoice. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cloverleaf
Floodwater that reached your dryer vent flex almost certainly compromised it, even if the exterior looks dry. Silt and mold colonize the interior wall of flex duct where you can’t see them, and running the dryer without inspection risks spore release and fire hazard from lint compaction. We camera-inspect every flood-affected vent, document the findings with photos, and give you a written statement of whether cleaning will suffice or replacement is the only safe option. That documentation is formatted for insurance submission. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule a post-flood assessment.
You’re seeing petroleum-derived particulate from the Houston Ship Channel refinery corridor, which deposits a dark, oily film on west-facing Cloverleaf homes. This residue binds with lint to form a tacky coating that standard cleaning methods often miss. Our Rotobrush agitation tools break that bond under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and we verify removal with camera inspection and airflow measurement at the hood. Call (323) 918-4345 if your lint has changed color or texture.
Most Cloverleaf homes need dryer vent inspection annually and full cleaning every one to two years, though homes on the Ship Channel side or with pier-and-beam crawlspaces often benefit from yearly cleaning due to accelerated lint compaction from humidity and petroleum residue. If your dryer needs longer cycles, emits a musty odor, or if you’ve had any water intrusion, schedule sooner. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll put you on a reminder cycle so you don’t have to track it.
Aging flex duct is more fragile and requires gentler agitation tools, but it doesn’t prevent effective cleaning. The bigger concern is flood damage and poor original installation, common in Cloverleaf’s unincorporated-era housing stock where code enforcement was inconsistent. We inspect for structural integrity before cleaning and will recommend replacement if the flex is torn, sagging, or mold-compromised. You’ll get a written price for either option before we proceed. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.
Yes. We provide dated photos, airflow measurements, camera inspection video stills, and a written statement of whether the duct is salvageable or requires replacement. This documentation has been accepted by insurers handling Cloverleaf flood claims, and we format it to match adjuster expectations. The inspection fee is $89-$129, and if cleaning or replacement is needed, we provide a separate written quote. Call (323) 918-4345 to arrange documentation after any water event.
