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 Pflugerville
Dryer vent cleaning in Pflugerville typically runs $180-$340 for a standard single-run system, and every job starts with a written price before we touch a single panel. We’re the Pflugerville crew from CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Austin, and we know the flex-duct runs in your attic because we’ve documented hundreds of them with before-and-after photos since 2013. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Austin office, but our trucks are in Pflugerville neighborhoods like Avalon, Settlers Ridge, and Bohls Place every week. Call (737) 243-9544 for a free estimate with a written price delivered before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Austin Is Pflugerville’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve served Pflugerville homeowners with Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville since the brand was established in 2013, and our documented photo record on every visit means you see what we found, not just hear about it. Our 52,000+ homes served includes thousands in the Pflugerville area, and our reviews consistently mention the same thing: the technician showed the photo before explaining the fix.
Response time to Pflugerville is typically same-week, with most appointments scheduled within 3-5 business days. We don’t do urgency theatre because dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled maintenance job, not an emergency dispatch service. What matters is that we arrive when promised, in a marked truck, with a background-checked, uniformed technician who identifies himself by name before knocking.
Our local knowledge runs deeper than GPS. We know that homes along the SH 130 corridor in Pflugerville deal with construction dust that older suburbs don’t face. We know that flex duct in superheated attics sags differently in July than in January. And we know that a dryer taking two cycles to dry in a 2008-built D.R. Horton home in Settlers Ridge usually means a specific failure pattern we’ve photographed dozens of times.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Pflugerville
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Dryer Vent Cleaning job we do in Pflugerville starts with a camera inspection of the full run, from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination. The camera shows what the trap doesn’t: sagging sections, disconnected joints, and the packed lint-and-dust deposits that collect at low points in flex duct. In Pflugerville’s 2000-2015 tract homes, we regularly find that the original builder run was installed with minimal support straps, so the duct has dropped in the superheated attic space and pulled apart at couplings. The inspection takes 15-20 minutes, and you see the feed live. We document the findings with photos, included in your job record at no extra charge.
Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning process uses negative-pressure extraction - suction applied at the termination point to pull debris backward through the run - combined with mechanical agitation tools from Rotobrush and Nikro that dislodge packed lint without damaging the duct. For Pflugerville homes, this matters because the debris isn’t just lint. The Ashe juniper pollen season from December through February drives ultra-fine particles into laundry room vents, and ongoing construction along SH 130 and SH 45 adds drywall dust and caliche particulate that bonds with lint into dense, airflow-blocking deposits. We clean the full run, not just the accessible sections, and we photograph every foot.
Lint Removal
The lint you clean from the trap after each load is maybe 25% of what enters the vent system. The rest travels into the run, where it catches on screw protrusions, joint gaps, and sagging low points. In Pflugerville homes with original flex duct, we often find lint packed 2-3 inches deep at the first elbow or sag point, sometimes hard enough to require mechanical breaking before extraction. Our lint removal service includes the full run, the transition duct behind the dryer, and the exterior termination. We use HEPA-filtered collection so the debris doesn’t recirculate into your home.
Vent Rerouting
This is where we differ from coupon services. In Pflugerville’s older tract homes, the original dryer vent run was often a long, indirect flex path through the attic - sometimes 25-35 feet with multiple turns - because the builder prioritized speed over efficiency. Those runs sag, disconnect, and create fire hazards. Our vent rerouting service replaces the failed flex run with rigid metal ductwork (where code allows), shortens the path where possible, and secures it with proper support straps. Rerouting in Pflugerville typically runs $340-$580 depending on attic access and run length, and we quote it in writing before starting. The result is a vent that dries faster, runs cooler, and meets current safety standards.
Bird Guard Installation
Pflugerville’s original builder-grade plastic vent caps rarely include bird guards, which means starlings and sparrows can nest directly in the termination. We install Guardsman vent caps with integrated bird guards that block nesting while maintaining proper airflow. This is standard on every reroute we do, and available as an add-on to any cleaning.
Vent Cap Replacement
The plastic caps installed by volume builders crack in Texas heat and often don’t seal properly against the siding. We replace them with metal caps that include a proper damper, bird guard, and sealant integration.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Pflugerville Homes
- Sagging flex duct in superheated attics. The flex runs in Pflugerville’s 2000-2015 homes were installed with minimal support and sit in unconditioned attic spaces that reach 140°F+ in summer. The duct sags, joints pull apart, and lint plus construction dust from nearby SH 130 buildout collects at the low points. Restricted airflow means longer dry times and elevated fire risk.
- Crushed or disconnected sections hidden above the ceiling. We find these with the camera on roughly 30% of Pflugerville inspections. The homeowner knows only that the dryer “takes forever.” The camera shows a duct that’s been crushed by a storage box, pulled apart at a coupling, or flattened where it crosses a truss.
- Bird nests in unguarded terminations. Original plastic caps without bird guards invite nesting, especially in Pflugerville subdivisions with mature trees like Settlers Ridge. The nest blocks exhaust, lint backs up into the run, and moisture condenses in the duct.
- Homeowners who clean the trap and think the job is done. The lint trap catches the easy stuff. The real problem is in the run, where years of accumulation create a fire hazard that a shop vac can’t reach. We show you the difference on camera.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pflugerville, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Pflugerville runs $180-$240 for a single straight run with accessible termination. Rerouting a failed flex run with rigid metal ductwork typically runs $340-$580. Bird guard installation with vent cap replacement adds $85-$140. Every price is written and agreed before work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1, no exceptions.
What moves the price: run length, attic access difficulty, whether the duct is rigid or flex, and whether we find disconnected sections that require repair before cleaning can be effective. Homes in Avalon and Bohls Place backing up to active construction sometimes need more extensive source removal due to heavier particulate loads.
We do not quote per-vent or per-foot pricing because it’s a bait-and-switch setup. You get one flat price per system, in writing, before we start. Free estimates are available at (737) 243-9544.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pflugerville
Pflugerville’s 2000-2015 homes were built with long flex-duct runs through superheated attics, and ongoing construction along SH 130 and SH 45 adds drywall dust and caliche particulate that bonds with lint into dense deposits. Newer builds typically use shorter rigid metal runs with better support. Call (737) 243-9544 for a free estimate - we’ll show you what your specific run looks like on camera.
Yes, in most Pflugerville homes we access the run from the exterior termination and the dryer connection point, using mechanical agitation and negative-pressure extraction without drywall damage. If the camera shows a crushed or disconnected section inside the wall, we’ll explain the repair option and quote it in writing before any cutting occurs. Call (737) 243-9544 to schedule an inspection.
It looks like a duct that’s flattened, separated at a coupling, or sagging into a U-shape with packed lint visible at the low point - often gray with construction dust, not just the pale lint from the trap. We show you the live feed, then include the stills in your documented photo record. Call (737) 243-9544 for an inspection.
Yes, if the home still has the original builder-grade plastic cap without a guard. We find bird nesting in unguarded terminations regularly in both subdivisions, particularly homes with mature tree cover. Our standard reroute includes a Guardsman cap with integrated bird guard. Call (737) 243-9544 and we’ll check your termination type during the free estimate.
Every 12-18 months for a typical family of 3-4 doing 5-8 loads weekly. Homes with longer original flex runs, pets that shed, or heavy dryer use should schedule annually. The Ashe juniper season and ongoing construction dust in Pflugerville can accelerate buildup, so we recommend a camera inspection if dry times increase even slightly. Call (737) 243-9544 to schedule.
