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 Pearland
Dryer vent cleaning in Pearland typically runs $149-$289 for a standard single-family home, and every job starts with a written price before any work begins. We’re familiar with the long attic flex runs that define Pearland’s slab-built homes in Shadow Creek Ranch, Silverlake, and Southdown, and we schedule crews daily from our Houston office to serve the area. Call (346) 251-8919 for a free written estimate.
Pearland’s master-planned communities went up fast between 2000 and 2020, and most homeowners don’t realize what that construction timeline left behind in their walls. Drywall dust, wood shavings, and trade debris routinely sit inside dryer vent runs from the day of handover. A home built in 2018 isn’t “too new” for a vent cleaning. It’s often the exact age where the first serious blockage forms.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Houston Is Pearland’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve served Pearland since the first wave of Shadow Creek Ranch build-outs, and our crews know the difference between a quick trap cleaning and a real vent run restoration. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team documents every job with before-and-after photos inside the duct, delivered as part of the standard job record. No other company in the Pearland market makes that a default practice.
Pearland homeowners have left us detailed reviews citing the photo records specifically, the written upfront pricing under Haven Standard Clause 1, and technicians who arrived in uniform with background verification already completed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We don’t ask you to trust a promise on a website. We show you the inside of your own ductwork.
Scheduling runs from our Houston office, and we route crews to Pearland daily. Most appointments book within 2-4 business days, not weeks. Tomas Reyes, who leads CleanRun, established the company in 2013 with the documented-photo requirement as a non-negotiable standard, and that practice has held across 52,000+ homes served.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Pearland
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Pearland job starts here. We run a camera through the full vent path, including the attic flex run that most homeowners never see. In a typical Silverlake or Southdown home, the camera reveals construction debris still lodged at the first elbow from original build, or heat-fused lint baked into a hard shell by 130°F attic temperatures. The inspection produces a written scope with photos, and you see the blockage before we quote a dollar figure. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires that written price before any work starts.
Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning uses professional-grade agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction (vacuum force applied at the duct opening to pull loosened debris outward without blowing it into your home). For Pearland’s long attic runs, we often deploy Rotobrush systems with flexible rods that navigate the multiple elbows common in master-planned homes. The process removes baked lint, construction dust, and any mold colonies that formed where Gulf Coast humidity condensed inside the duct. We verify clearance with a post-cleaning camera pass, and both photo sets go into your job record.
Lint Removal
Lint in Pearland doesn’t just collect. It transforms. The combination of fine fabric fibers, Beaumont Clay dust from dry-season ground disturbance, and 130°F attic heat creates a dense, hardened mass that standard vacuum attachments won’t dislodge. We see this in Shadow Creek Ranch homes built 2015-2019 regularly. Our lint removal protocol includes mechanical agitation to break the shell, followed by negative-pressure extraction. The lint trap being clean means nothing if the attic run is choked solid.
Vent Rerouting
Some Pearland homes were built with dryer runs that exceed 25 feet or include more than two 90-degree turns, both of which violate dryer manufacturer specifications and create inevitable blockage points. In these cases, cleaning becomes a temporary fix. We evaluate whether rerouting through a shorter path, or converting to rigid metal duct where code allows, would solve the recurring problem permanently. Rerouting quotes include full material and labor, with no per-foot add-ons after the written price is delivered.
Vent Cap Replacement
The exterior cap on a Pearland home takes direct Gulf Coast sun, driving rain, and the occasional tropical storm. Flappers stick, screens clog, and cheap builder-grade caps fail within 5-7 years. We stock replacement caps from Guardsman and Honeywell, selected for the hinged-flapper design that resists humidity warping. A failed cap is often the first symptom homeowners notice, but it’s usually the last link in a chain of attic-run problems we find on inspection.
Bird Guard Installation
Bird guards prevent nesting in the exterior vent opening, but an incorrectly specified guard blocks airflow and creates a new lint trap. We size guards to the duct diameter and dryer CFM rating, never slapping a generic screen over the opening. For Pearland homes near Mary’s Creek or Hickory Slough corridors, where bird activity runs higher, proper guard specification matters more than in inland suburbs.

When a Silverlake homeowner needs a Vent Cap Replacement after a spring storm, we typically have the matching hardware on the truck.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Pearland Homes
- Construction debris left from build. Drywall dust and wood particulate from 2015-2020 construction sits undisturbed in the vent run until heat and humidity cement it into the duct wall. New Pearland owners are often the second or third family to discover this.
- Heat-baked lint in attic flex runs. Pearland’s slab construction routes dryer vents through 130°F-plus attics. Lint fuses to the duct interior and shears off in sheets. A surface cleaning misses it entirely.
- Humidity-matted lint at flex joints. Gulf Coast moisture plus short-cycling oversized AC units leaves damp patches inside the duct. Lint mats here, hardens, and partially blocks airflow while reading “dry” at the trap.
- Post-Harvey mold colonization in adjacent ductwork. While this page focuses on dryer vents, we regularly find mold in the main HVAC flex runs of Harvey-affected homes along Mary’s Creek. The same humidity dynamics stress dryer vent systems, and combined service is often appropriate.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pearland, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Pearland runs $149-$189 for a single-story home with a straightforward vent path under 15 feet. Two-story homes with long attic flex runs, common in Shadow Creek Ranch and Southdown, typically fall in the $199-$249 range. Vent rerouting, if needed, runs $289-$449 depending on material length and access difficulty. Vent cap replacement with hardware is $89-$139 when done as part of a cleaning, or $149-$199 as a standalone call.
What moves a job to the higher end: multiple 90-degree elbows, rigid-metal conversion requests, bird guard installation, or significant construction debris removal requiring extended agitation time. What doesn’t affect price: number of laundry loads you run, home square footage, or how long it’s been since last cleaning. We quote by the actual vent configuration, not by a coupon formula.
Every price is written and agreed before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1. Estimates are free. Call (346) 251-8919.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pearland
Yes, and possibly overdue. Homes built in Pearland’s 2015-2020 construction wave commonly contain drywall dust, wood shavings, and trade debris in the vent run from original construction. The 130°F attic heat bakes this material onto the duct wall within the first 2-3 years. We inspect 2018-built homes regularly and find significant blockage that the owner had no way to detect. Call (346) 251-8919 for a free camera inspection and written estimate.
The lint trap catches surface fibers; the blockage is almost always in the attic flex run where you can’t see it. In Pearland’s slab-built homes, that run sits in 130°F-plus attic space where lint fuses into a hard shell and restricts airflow. The dryer compensates with longer cycles until the thermal cutoff trips. A camera inspection reveals the actual restriction. We quote the cleaning in writing before starting, and verify airflow restoration with a post-job measurement.
They do. Pearland’s universal slab construction means longer attic vent runs than crawlspace cities like parts of Friendswood or Pasadena. The 130°F attic peak bakes lint solid, and year-round 75-85% humidity creates condensation at flex joints that mats lint into dense blockages. Sugar Land and The Woodlands have different construction eras and foundation types; Pearland’s master-planned uniformity creates a predictable failure pattern we’ve documented across thousands of local jobs.
We service all Pearland neighborhoods including Shadow Creek Ranch, Silverlake, and Southdown, plus the older standalone homes near Old Townsite and along Broadway. Master-planned community or not, the construction type is what matters, and Pearland’s stock is remarkably consistent: slab foundation, attic duct routing, long flex runs. Our crews are equipped for the access patterns specific to these neighborhoods.
Possibly. Bird guards installed without CFM-matching create airflow restriction that lint then compounds. We’ve removed improperly specified guards in Pearland homes where the screen mesh was too fine for the dryer’s exhaust volume. Our inspection determines whether the guard is correctly sized, clogged with lint, or the wrong specification entirely. We replace with proper hardware when needed, quoted in writing before installation.
