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 Fort Worth
Dryer vent cleaning in Fort Worth typically costs $150-$280 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs take 60 to 90 minutes from arrival to cleanup. We dispatch crews daily from our Dallas-Fort Worth office to homes across Fort Worth, from the established ranch neighborhoods of Wedgwood and Ridglea Hills to the new construction corridors near Alliance Airport. If your dryer is taking two cycles to finish a load, or if you smell burning lint when you open the door, the vent path is likely obstructed. Call us at (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
We’re familiar with the specific headaches Fort Worth homeowners face. The Blackland Prairie clay beneath your slab doesn’t care about your builder’s warranty period. It expands when it rains, contracts when it doesn’t, and that constant motion shifts exterior walls, crushes vent runs, and pulls connections loose. In new builds especially, we’ve learned to check what the builder missed.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Fort Worth’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Worth crews have worked in enough local homes to know the difference between a Wedgwood ranch built in 1972 and an Alliance corridor new build handed over last month. That matters because the failure modes are completely different, and treating them the same wastes your time and money.
Paul Adeyemi leads our operations with a simple standard: every technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values. Shoe covers and drop cloths are on every visit, included without asking. We use quieter tools when we know there’s a toddler napping down the hall, and we keep pets in mind when we set up our Nikro and Rotobrush equipment. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail tree.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job. If something isn’t right, we make it right. Full stop. We also leave a photo of the clean-up before we go, so you can see your laundry room, garage, or exterior wall left better than we found it. The written price you agree to is the price on the invoice. No exceptions.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Fort Worth
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Fort Worth addresses the complete lint pathway from your dryer’s transition duct to the exterior termination point. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses professional-grade equipment to remove accumulated lint, construction debris, and any blockages that restrict airflow and create fire risk. Most Fort Worth homeowners schedule this service when they notice extended drying times, a hot dryer exterior, or visible lint accumulation around the wall cap. A typical cleaning runs $150-$220 for a standard through-wall termination, while longer runs or roof terminations requiring ladder work range $200-$280.
Camera Inspection and Lint Pathway Mapping
We start with a visual camera inspection whenever access allows. In Fort Worth’s newer homes, this often reveals the real problem immediately: a crushed flex duct where the slab settled, or a termination buried in a soffit cavity packed with lint. The camera lets us show you exactly what we’re dealing with before we quote the work.
Agitation Cleaning Under Negative Pressure
Our Nikro and Rotobrush tools loosen lint from duct walls while simultaneous vacuum extraction captures it before it enters your home. This matters in Fort Worth’s tight new construction, where laundry rooms often sit in interior hallways with no exterior window for natural ventilation.
Dryer Vent Installation in Fort Worth
Dryer Vent Installation in Fort Worth corrects builder shortcuts and brings older homes up to current safety standards. We replace crushed or improper flex duct with semi-rigid or rigid metal pipe, relocate terminations to code-compliant exterior positions, and ensure the total equivalent run length stays within safe limits. New installation or complete rerouting typically runs $280-$450 depending on material length, wall penetration complexity, and whether we need to access an attic or crawlspace. Simple cap replacements or bird guard installations range $85-$140.
Code-Compliant Termination Corrections
Fort Worth’s municipal code and IRC standards require dryer vents to terminate outdoors with proper clearance from soffits, windows, and air intakes. We frequently find new homes where the builder tucked the termination under a vinyl soffit to save exterior wall penetration cost. We fix that properly.
Slab-Safe Rigid Pipe Conversion
Where Blackland Prairie clay movement has crushed flex duct against the foundation, we switch to semi-rigid or fully rigid pipe with proper support and clearance from the slab edge. This prevents the same failure from recurring in the next drought-rain cycle.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Worth
We stock replacement components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Carrier in Fort Worth for local customers, which means faster turnaround on cap replacements, bird guard installations, and transition duct upgrades. Our Nikro and Rotobrush cleaning systems are professional-grade units, not rental-store equipment, and our technicians train on them specifically. When we need a specialized part for an older Ridglea Hills home or a newer Alliance build, we source it quickly through our Dallas-Fort Worth supply chain rather than making you wait for a second visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Fort Worth Homes
- Crushed flex duct from slab settlement. In Alliance corridor new builds, we regularly find builder-grade flex duct flattened where the exterior wall shifted against the slab within the first two years. The dryer still runs, but airflow is restricted to a fraction of design capacity.
- Soffit-terminated vents packed with lint. Builders in north Fort Worth frequently terminate dryer vents under vinyl soffits less than 8 inches from the roofline, violating clearance requirements and creating a lint reservoir that feeds back into attic space.
- Attic-venting in 1960s-1980s ranch homes. Many west-side Fort Worth homes exhaust dryer vents into the attic or crawlspace rather than outdoors, recirculating lint and moisture into the air handler. We find this on camera inspection in Wedgwood and Meadowbrook regularly.
- Over-length runs cooked hard by attic heat. Fort Worth’s 100°F+ summer attic temperatures bake residual lint into a glazed, almost ceramic coating on duct walls, especially in runs exceeding 25 equivalent feet with multiple elbows. Standard brushes won’t touch it; we use more aggressive agitation tools.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Worth, TX
Most Fort Worth homeowners pay between $150 and $280 for complete dryer vent cleaning, with the majority falling in the $180-$220 range for standard through-wall terminations in single-story homes. Roof-access terminations, longer runs, or significant blockage removal push toward the higher end. New installation or complete rerouting runs $280-$450. Bird guard installation or cap replacement alone is typically $85-$140.
What moves the price: the termination location (wall vs. roof vs. soffit), total duct length and number of elbows, whether we need to replace damaged flex with rigid pipe, and accessibility. We give you one flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any work begins. No per-foot add-ons, no surprise charges when we find the builder’s shortcut. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate. We’ll ask a few questions about your home’s age, location in Fort Worth, and what you’re experiencing, then give you a firm range.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Worth
Builder-grade dryer vent installations in Fort Worth’s new construction frequently leave drywall dust, construction debris, and improperly supported flex duct that crushes when the Blackland Prairie clay shifts your slab. We recommend inspection within the first year, before your builder’s warranty expires. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule - estimates are free.
The expansive Blackland Prairie clay beneath Fort Worth heaves and contracts with every rain-drought cycle, physically shifting slab foundations and exterior walls. This crushes unsupported flex duct at slab penetrations and pulls connections loose at termination points, creating blockages and lint leaks into wall cavities. Rigid pipe with proper clearance prevents this.
IRC code specifies 25 feet maximum equivalent length, with each 90-degree elbow adding 5 equivalent feet and each 45-degree elbow adding 2.5 feet. Fort Worth’s extreme attic heat makes over-length runs even more problematic, as lint bakes onto duct walls and becomes nearly impossible to remove with standard cleaning. We measure your actual run during inspection and recommend rerouting if you’re over limit.
In Fort Worth’s 1960s-1980s ranch homes, particularly in Wedgwood, Ridglea Hills, and Meadowbrook, original construction often exhausted dryer vents into the attic or crawlspace to avoid exterior wall penetration. This dumps moisture and lint into your home’s air system. We relocate these to proper exterior terminations as part of our installation service.
Annual cleaning is the safe standard for most Fort Worth homes, though homes with multiple laundry loads daily, long duct runs, or soffit terminations may need more frequent attention. New construction should be inspected within the first year due to builder debris and settlement-related crush damage. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll recommend an interval based on your specific setup.
