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.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Seguin
Dryer vent cleaning in Seguin costs $149 – $289 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are done in about an hour to ninety minutes. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a towel, the vent is almost certainly the problem, not the dryer. We work in Seguin every week, from the historic riverside bungalows near downtown to the newer subdivisions off I-10 and FM 46. Call (980) 447-2498 and a live person will walk you through exactly what we’ll do and what it costs before you commit to anything.
You know your home better than anyone. You know where the dryer sits, how long the vent run is, and whether it has been cleaned in the past decade. What you may not know is what is actually inside that vent. That’s the part we see every week across Seguin: lint mats so dense they block two-thirds of the opening, crushed flex runs flattened under pier-and-beam floors, and vents that were never routed correctly in the first place. This is not a quick vacuum at the lint trap. This is a real mechanical cleaning of the entire run, from the back of the dryer to the termination cap outside.
We are Dryer Vent Cleaning specialists serving Seguin, and we are glad to tell you exactly what we’ll do, what we’ll charge, and who will be at your door before you schedule. No pressure. No vague promises. Just a clear plan and a fair price.
Why Linden Air Duct Cleaning Is Seguin’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Seguin homeowners have a specific set of concerns when someone is coming into the house. You want to know who is walking through the door. You want the price in writing before the work starts. And you want to know what happens if something is not right afterward. We answer all three of those before you ever hand over a key or a check.
Every technician who arrives at a Seguin home is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard. You get the tech’s name and photo before the visit, and they show a photo ID badge at the door. That is not a courtesy. It is how we have operated since 2004, and we do not make exceptions. The price is written down before any work begins, and every repair carries a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the repair fails within a year, we come back and fix it. No charge.

We serve the whole Seguin area, and when you call (980) 447-2498, a live person answers. No phone trees. No voicemail loops. A human being, every time.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Seguin
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Seguin handles the heavier runs you find in laundromats, apartment complexes, and multifamily properties along Court Street, Austin Street, and the I-10 corridor. These systems move far more lint than a residential dryer, and the runs are longer, with more bends and shared duct sections. We clean them with professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, using negative-pressure extraction so lint is pulled out of the run rather than pushed into the building.
Multifamily and Laundromat Vent Cleaning
Apartment and laundromat dryer vents in Seguin often serve multiple dryers through a common riser or manifold, which means lint accumulates at the junction points where the runs meet. We inspect each leg with a camera, identify blockages, and clean the full path to the exterior termination. Written documentation of the clean is provided for property managers who need records for insurance or code compliance.
Large-Run Single-Family Systems
Some newer Seguin homes along the FM 46 growth corridor have dryer vents that run 25 feet or more from the laundry room to an exterior wall, often with several elbows. Those long runs are a fire risk when they are not cleaned, and they are also the reason your dryer runs hot and slow. We clean the entire length, not just the first few feet at the trap.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Seguin
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Seguin is a complete cleaning of the vent run that connects your dryer to the outside, including the lint trap housing, the interior ductwork, and the exterior vent cap. We do not just vacuum the area behind the dryer and call it done. We push a rotating brush through the full run, pull the loosened lint back with negative pressure, and then verify the airflow at both ends.
Full-Run Cleaning with Verification
Most Seguin homes we clean have not had their dryer vent touched since the dryer was installed. The lint trap catches maybe 20 to 25 percent of what a dryer produces. The rest moves into the vent, where it settles in bends, joints, and low spots. We clean all of it, then run a camera through the line so you can see the result. You get before-and-after photos of your own vent, not stock images.
Airflow Testing and Vent Cap Service
After the clean, we test the airflow at the exterior termination. If the vent cap is damaged, we replace it. If birds have nested in the opening, we remove the nest and install a bird guard. These are common findings in Seguin, especially in older homes near the river where vent caps have been in place for decades.
Trusted Brands We Service in Seguin
We work on all major dryer brands and vent configurations, and we stock common replacement parts for Seguin customers, including vent caps, backdraft dampers, and rigid metal duct in standard sizes. Our equipment includes Rotobrush and Nikro systems, and when the job calls for air-quality improvements, we use products from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. That means we are not waiting on a part shipment from Dallas when your vent cap is broken. We carry what we need on the truck, and we can usually complete the repair in the same visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Seguin Homes
Here is what we actually find when we open dryer vents in Seguin. The list is specific to this area, not copied from a national template.
- Moldy lint mats in river-corridor homes. In the older neighborhoods near the Guadalupe River, ambient humidity keeps lint inside pier-and-beam crawlspaces damp, and that damp lint clumps into a moldy mat that blocks airflow. We have pulled lint mats from riverside homes that were wet to the touch in July.
- Crushed or disconnected flex runs. Flexible aluminum vent from the original install gets flattened under crawlspace beams or pulled apart at the joints. When the run is crushed, the dryer is working against a blocked pipe, and the heat has nowhere to go.
- Retrofit vents hidden in walls. Many of Seguin’s historic downtown homes had dryers added decades after the house was built. The vent run was often snaked through a wall cavity or along the exterior, hidden behind plaster or beadboard, and never cleaned because no one could see it.
- Builder-grade flex in 1980s – 2000s subdivisions. The tract home era along I-10 and FM 46 produced thousands of homes with low-cost flexible dryer vent that is now degrading. Joints fail, lint escapes into wall cavities, and the visible lint at the trap is a small fraction of what has accumulated in the run.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Seguin, TX
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Seguin runs $149 to $289. That price includes the full-run brush cleaning, negative-pressure extraction, airflow testing, and before-and-after photos. If we find crushed or disconnected sections that need repair, the additional cost is quoted in writing before we do the work. A vent cap replacement typically adds $45 to $95 depending on the cap. A bird guard install is $35 to $75. A complete vent reroute, which is common in older Seguin homes where the existing run is unsafe or non-compliant, runs $350 to $700 depending on the run length and access.
The factors that move the price are the length of the vent run, the number of elbows, the access difficulty, and whether repairs are needed. What does not move the price is the condition of your dryer or whether you have a coupon. We give you the price in writing before we start, and that is the price you pay.

Why Seguin’s River Corridor Changes the Job
There is a reason dryer vent cleaning in Seguin is a different job than in New Braunfels or Schertz. The Guadalupe River cuts right through the center of town, and homes within a half-mile of the river, especially those in the historic districts near downtown, sit in a permanent humidity corridor. Add in slab construction with minimal vapor barriers in the older housing stock, and you get interior relative humidity that stays high enough to convert a dirty dryer vent into a damp, moldy structure. We see mold growth at supply registers and around the dryer vent termination even in homes that are otherwise well maintained. The lint inside the vent becomes a mat that holds water, and that water feeds mold all summer long.
The pecan pollen load in spring and the mountain cedar blast from December through February are serious, but they are not what makes dryer vents fail in Seguin. The humidity does that. The river is the variable. It is why we run cameras through every vent we clean here, and why we often recommend sealing the vent path and replacing flex with rigid metal when the home’s original routing runs through a crawlspace that stays damp.
We were called to a 1920s bungalow near downtown Seguin where the homeowner said the dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load. Using camera inspection, we found the original 4-inch aluminum flex run had been snaked through a pier-and-beam crawlspace and was crushed flat in two places, packed with a lint mat that was damp to the touch from river-corridor humidity. We removed the failed flex, sealed a new rigid metal lint pathway with proper slope and a backdraft damper, and the homeowner’s dry time dropped back to one cycle. That is the Seguin job in a nutshell: the vent was never the problem, but the vent was the problem. That is what we fix.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Seguin
The most common reason is a vent that is partially blocked with lint, and in Seguin that lint often gets damp from river-corridor humidity and clumps into a mat that restricts airflow. When the moist, hot air from the dryer cannot escape, the dryer runs longer just to move the same amount of moisture. Cleaning the vent usually restores dry time to one cycle. Call (980) 447-2498 and we will inspect your vent and tell you exactly what we find.
In Seguin, we recommend a cleaning every 12 months for most homes, and every 6 months for homes near the river or with long vent runs. The humidity from the Guadalupe River means lint holds moisture and becomes more resistant to airflow, so the same vent run in Schertz might go 18 to 24 months between cleanings, but in Seguin it needs attention more often. If your home has a crawlspace vent run, lean toward the shorter interval.
Yes, we clean commercial dryer vents throughout Seguin, including laundromats, apartment complexes, and multifamily properties. These jobs involve longer runs, shared ducts, and higher lint volumes, and we document the cleaning with camera footage and written records. For property managers who need compliance documentation, we provide a written report after each clean. Call (980) 447-2498 to schedule a site inspection.
No, we clean the entire vent run from the back of the dryer to the exterior cap, not just the lint trap. The process includes a rotating brush through the full run, negative-pressure extraction to pull loosened lint out, a camera inspection to verify the line is clear, and an airflow test at the exterior termination. You get before-and-after photos of your own vent. Call (980) 447-2498 for an exact quote.
Yes. We work on historic Seguin homes regularly, and we are familiar with the retrofit vent runs common in the late-1800s and early-1900s housing stock, where the dryer was added decades after the house was built and the vent was snaked through a wall or crawlspace. We camera-inspect the run to map its path, then clean it from the accessible end. If the run is crushed or disconnected, we will show you on camera and quote the repair in writing before we proceed.
If you are in Seguin and your dryer is running long, running hot, or leaving the laundry room humid, call (980) 447-2498. We will give you a straight answer, a written price, and the name and photo of the technician before the visit. No pressure. Just a clean vent and a dryer that works like it should.
