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 Converse
Dryer vent cleaning in Converse typically costs $150-$275 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in 90 minutes to two hours. Our crews serve Converse from our San Antonio dispatch office, and we’re familiar with the ranch-style homes near JBSA-Randolph, the older subdivisions off FM 78, and the neighborhoods stretching toward Cibolo. If your dryer is taking longer than 45 minutes per load or the laundry room feels unusually warm, that’s worth a call to (323) 918-4345.
We’ve worked in Converse long enough to know the pattern: a family moves into a rental near the base, notices the dryer isn’t performing well, and eventually realizes the vent run hasn’t been touched in years. Sometimes decades. That’s not a scare tactic; it’s what we find in the field. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses camera inspection and professional agitation equipment to see what’s actually inside the run, not just guess from the outside.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Converse’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Converse homeowners call us back because we treat their houses like we would our own. Our technicians wear shoe covers and lay drop cloths before stepping past the entryway, work quietly when there’s a napping toddler down the hall, and choose pet-safe products wherever the job allows. Every visit starts with a written price agreed before any work begins, and ends with a photo of the clean-up sent before the crew leaves.
We’re part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned companies, and we’ve held ourselves to the Cedarwell Care Promise since Morton’s was founded in 2005. That means background-checked, uniformed technicians working to C.A.R.E. values: Communication, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence. In Converse specifically, our crews understand the older housing stock, the clay-soil foundation shifts that stress duct joints, and the rental-market turnover that leaves maintenance undone. We’re not learning Converse on your dime.
A live person answers our phone 24/7. Not a chatbot, not a callback queue. When you schedule Dryer Vent Cleaning in Converse, you get a real arrival window and a crew that shows up prepared for what these homes actually contain.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Converse
Dryer Vent Inspection in Converse is often the most important step we perform, because the visible symptoms, a warm laundry room, long dry times, can hide problems that basic airflow tests completely miss. In our market, a standard residential inspection runs $89-$125, and we recommend it before any cleaning when a home’s service history is unknown. That’s the norm for most Converse rentals.
Our inspection protocol includes a full visual of the exterior termination, airflow and back-pressure readings, and a camera run through the duct when we suspect hidden blockage. In Converse’s 1970s-1990s ranch homes, we frequently find flex duct with collapsed inner liners, sagging mid-span sections, and lint that has hardened into a felt-like mass against the duct wall. These conditions don’t always trigger high back-pressure readings, which is why the camera matters.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Book an inspection if you’ve just moved into a Converse rental and don’t know when the vent was last serviced, if your dry time has crept past 50 minutes, or if you notice burning smells or excessive heat. We also inspect before listing a home for sale; it’s a small investment that prevents surprises during buyer inspections.
What the Camera Reveals
Our camera system lets us show you exactly what we’re seeing: disconnected collars, rodent debris, or that dense lint plug we pulled from a Rocket Lane home last month. No guessing, no selling based on fear. You see it, we explain it, you decide.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Converse
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Converse serves a different set of buildings than our residential work: multi-unit apartment complexes near FM 78, laundromats, assisted living facilities, and the occasional on-base housing contractor. Pricing for commercial systems starts around $350 and scales with the number of runs, termination height, and access complexity. We provide written quotes on-site before any work begins.
Commercial dryers in Converse face the same lint accumulation as residential units, but at higher volume and with longer duty cycles. Apartment buildings with shared vent manifolds are especially prone to cross-contamination and fire-code violations. Our crews document before-and-after conditions with photos, and we can schedule recurring maintenance to keep properties compliant and insurance-friendly.
Multi-Unit and Property Management
We work with Converse property managers to schedule cleanings between tenant turnovers, minimizing disruption and ensuring each unit starts fresh. Our written pricing and photo documentation simplify expense reporting and liability protection.
Code and Safety Documentation
Commercial properties need records. We provide dated photo logs, airflow readings, and condition reports that satisfy most insurance and fire-marshal requirements. If your Converse property hasn’t had professional vent maintenance in two years, it’s worth a conversation.
Trusted Brands We Service in Converse
We don’t show up with rental-shop vacuums and crossed fingers. Our Converse crews carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, brands that technicians actually trust for duct and vent work. Rotobrush’s flexible-shaft agitation systems handle the tight turns and long runs common in Converse’s older ranch homes. Nikro’s negative-air and HEPA collection units keep lint contained during cleaning, not blown through your laundry room. Guardsman products protect finishes where we need surface contact. We stock common replacement caps, collars, and transition hoses, so most Converse jobs don’t wait on parts.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Converse Homes
- Felted lint blockages from years of neglect. Because Converse’s rental churn near JBSA-Randolph means dryer vent runs often go a decade or more between cleanings, our techs routinely pull dense, felted lint from full vertical runs and exterior terminations that still pass basic airflow tests. In stable owner-occupied suburbs like Schertz and Live Oak, that level of block is far less common.
- Collapsed flex duct liners hidden mid-run. The original flex duct in 1970s-1990s Converse ranch homes degrades from age and negative pressure, with inner liners that partially collapse and trap lint where standard inspections never look. Camera inspection finds it; airflow tests often don’t.
- Damaged or inaccessible roof terminations. Roof-mounted vent caps on these older homes crack from UV exposure or get buried under insulation in attics. Previous service crews sometimes skip them entirely, leaving the lint pathway blocked at the most critical point.
- Foundation-shifted duct joints. Bexar County’s expansive clay soils shift foundations over decades, pulling apart collar joints and creating lint leaks into wall cavities or crawl spaces. We find these during camera inspection and can reseal or reroute as needed.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Converse
Older vent runs in Converse’s 1970s-1990s ranch homes are typically longer, with more elbows and flex duct sections that trap lint. Decades of rental turnover near JBSA-Randolph means many of these systems were never properly maintained, so accumulation compounds. Newer subdivisions usually have shorter, straighter runs with better access for cleaning. If you’re noticing faster clogging since moving to Converse, the vent configuration and history are likely the culprits. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll inspect to confirm.
We run a camera inspection through the full vent length, looking for collapsed flex liner, felted lint adhered to duct walls, and partial restrictions that don’t register on airflow gauges. On that 1980s ranch off Rocket Lane west of Converse Road near the base perimeter, a family had been drying clothes for over an hour per load. Our tech ran a camera inspection down the exterior termination and found the run packed nearly solid-lint had felted against the duct wall and was restricting the lint pathway. We used agitation tools through the roof jack and pulled a dense plug of lint out of the termination hood, cutting dry time back to a normal cycle. Camera inspection is the only way to see what’s actually in there.
Yes, and we clean roof terminations on Converse homes regularly. These are common on the area’s older ranch-style houses. We access the vent from the roof jack when safe conditions allow, or work from inside with long-reach agitation tools and camera verification. If the roof cap is damaged, we can replace it with a proper termination that resists weather and pest intrusion. We do not recommend homeowners attempt roof access themselves; our crews are equipped and insured for height work.
The risk is genuine and well-documented: lint is highly combustible, and restricted airflow causes overheating. In Converse’s older rentals, the combination of decade-old lint accumulation, degraded flex duct, and outdated terminations creates conditions that basic use can ignite. That said, we don’t use alarm to sell service. We use camera evidence and clear explanation so you understand your specific situation. Most Converse homes we inspect are not imminent hazards; they’re simply overdue for maintenance that reduces risk and restores performance. Call for an inspection and we’ll show you exactly what you have.
Yes. We clean commercial dryer vent systems throughout Converse, including multi-unit housing, laundromats, and institutional facilities. Commercial pricing starts around $350 and is quoted on-site after we assess run count, termination access, and system configuration. We provide photo documentation and condition reports for property managers and compliance officers. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule a commercial estimate.
