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 Kyle
Dryer vent cleaning in Kyle typically runs $150-$280 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are scheduled within a few business days. If your dryer is taking longer than one cycle to finish a load, or if the laundry room feels noticeably humid during operation, the vent run is likely restricted and needs professional attention.
We’re familiar with the homes here. From Plum Creek to Anthem to Six Creeks, Kyle’s rapid growth has produced neighborhoods full of relatively new houses with a shared problem: builder-grade vent systems that were left open to construction debris before anyone moved in. Our crews serve Kyle from our Austin coordination office, and we know the specific failure patterns these homes develop. When you call (323) 918-4345, a live person answers - day or night - and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Kyle’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Kyle families have been calling Morton’s since 2005 because we treat their homes the way we’d want our own treated. Our technicians wear shoe covers and lay drop cloths before stepping past the entryway. We use quieter tools when there’s a toddler napping down the hall. We ask about pets before we choose products, and we work to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values on every single visit.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team arrives in uniform, background-checked, with professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment - not rental shop-vacs. Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right, period. And before our crew leaves, you’ll get a photo of the clean-up so you can see exactly what was removed and how your home was left.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Austin office, but the crews serving Kyle are local. They know the difference between a Plum Creek build from 2008 and an Anthem home from 2022, and they know what each era’s builder-grade vent systems tend to hide.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Kyle
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Kyle addresses a problem most homeowners don’t discover until their dryer starts failing: the vent run that carries hot, moist air to the exterior has become partially or fully blocked. In Kyle’s new-construction neighborhoods, this blockage often starts with construction debris - drywall dust, insulation fibers, sawdust - that entered the flex duct before the home was even occupied. Layer lint from normal use on top of that foundation, and airflow drops steadily until the dryer overheats, cycles longer, or stops drying entirely.
A proper cleaning from Morton’s runs $150-$280 for a standard Kyle home with a single dryer and accessible exterior termination. Homes with longer runs, roof terminations, or multiple bends may run toward the higher end. We always inspect first with a camera when access allows, so you see the restriction before we quote the fix.
Camera Inspection and Source Removal
We don’t guess at what’s inside your vent. Our Nikro inspection cameras show the interior condition in real time, identifying construction debris, lint compaction, or physical damage like a pinched flex run. Then we agitate the debris with a Rotobrush whip system and extract it with high-volume vacuum, not compressed air that could pack the blockage deeper.
Exterior Hood and Termination Check
The outside matters as much as the inside. We verify the vent hood flaps freely, check clearance from landscaping that might impede airflow, and confirm the termination meets current safety standards. In Kyle, we’ve found hoods buried under mulch piles and flaps sealed shut by paint overspray from exterior touch-ups.
Dryer Vent Installation in Kyle
Dryer Vent Installation in Kyle becomes necessary when the original builder-grade run is damaged, improperly routed, or made from unsafe materials like flammable plastic flex duct. We also reinstall vents that were never correctly terminated to the exterior - a surprisingly common find in subdivisions where crews were rushing to meet construction deadlines. A proper installation from Morton’s ranges from $200-$450 depending on routing complexity, wall or roof penetration requirements, and materials.
We use rigid metal ducting where code allows, with proper support straps and sealed joints. Every installation gets a written price before we cut anything, and we protect floors and walls with drop cloths throughout. If your current vent runs through an attic or crawl space, we’ll discuss whether rerouting to an exterior wall makes more sense for long-term safety and efficiency.
Code-Compliant Materials and Routing
Kyle falls under Hays County and city building codes that prohibit certain flexible duct materials for dryer vents. We install to those standards using appropriate metal ducting, proper slope for condensation drainage, and fire-rated penetration seals where the duct passes through rated assemblies.
Bird Guard and Pest Protection
Our standard exterior termination includes a bird guard where local conditions warrant it. Kyle’s Hill Country location means plenty of wildlife interaction, and an unprotected 4-inch vent opening is an invitation. The guard we install uses a design that won’t clog with lint the way cheap screen caps do.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kyle
We carry parts and materials from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, so most Kyle repairs don’t wait on shipping. When we’re installing a new vent termination or replacing a damaged section, we’re not improvising with whatever the hardware store has in stock. That matters in a growing market like Kyle, where getting scheduled already requires planning around your family’s routine. We also stock Rotobrush agitation heads and Nikro vacuum components for our own equipment, so our tools are maintained to factory spec - which means consistent results on your job, not “good enough for now.”
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Kyle Homes
- Construction debris in “new” vents. Because most Kyle homes are builder-grade new construction in phased subdivisions like Plum Creek, Anthem, and Six Creeks, dryer vents here are often routed through long flex runs that were left uncapped during grading and framing - so we routinely pull drywall dust, insulation fibers, and framing sawdust out of a “brand-new” vent line before we ever reach the lint.
- Neighborhood construction layering. Homes in earlier phases of Plum Creek, Anthem, and Six Creeks ran their dryers for years while adjacent lots were being graded and drywalled, layering neighborhood construction particulate over their own post-build debris. A vent that should have been clean at move-in was already compromised.
- Stuck exterior hood flaps. Exterior vent hoods are frequently installed with too little clearance or buried in new landscaping, so the flap sticks closed - the lint pathway backs up and the homeowner blames the dryer. We check this on every visit because it’s so common in Kyle’s maturing subdivisions.
- Cedar season particulate accumulation. Because Kyle sits in the Ashe juniper pollen belt, cedar season from December through February adds a fine, sticky particulate layer to the vent run that a shop-vac at the trap will never reach. This combines with lint to form a dense mat that restricts airflow progressively.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kyle, TX
Most Kyle homeowners pay between $150 and $280 for a complete dryer vent cleaning. A straightforward single-story home with an exterior wall termination and moderate lint accumulation typically falls in the $150-$190 range. Longer runs, roof terminations, significant construction debris removal, or multiple bends that require extra agitation time push toward $220-$280. Dryer vent installation or rerouting runs $200-$450 depending on materials and routing complexity.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kyle
Builder-grade flex duct in Kyle’s phased subdivisions was often left uncapped during framing and drywall, so construction debris enters the run before you ever move in. We regularly find drywall dust, insulation fibers, and sawdust compacted in the first elbow of vents in homes less than five years old. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll camera-inspect to show you exactly what’s in there.
A genuinely clogged vent produces specific symptoms: loads take more than one cycle to dry, the laundry room feels humid during operation, the exterior hood flap doesn’t lift during the cycle, or there’s a burning smell. If your dryer worked fine last year and now doesn’t, the vent is the likely culprit - not the appliance itself. We can verify with a camera inspection and airflow measurement.
Yes. Kyle’s position in the Ashe juniper pollen belt means December through February brings intense cedar pollen that infiltrates homes and settles in duct systems, including dryer vents. The fine, sticky particulate combines with lint to form dense restriction mats that shop-vacs can’t remove. Many Kyle residents schedule vent cleaning in fall specifically to prepare for this season.
We camera-inspect the full run, agitate debris with a Rotobrush mechanical whip, extract it with high-volume Nikro vacuum, verify the exterior hood operates freely, and measure airflow improvement before we leave. You get before-and-after documentation and a photo of the clean-up. The whole process typically takes 60-90 minutes for a standard Kyle home.
Reinstallation makes sense when the existing run uses unsafe flammable materials, has been physically damaged, was never properly terminated to the exterior, or has been cleaned multiple times but restrictions return quickly due to poor routing. We’ll show you the camera footage and explain whether cleaning or replacement is the better long-term value. Written price either way, before any work starts.
