Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Leander
Dryer vent cleaning in Leander typically costs $95 – $185 and is usually completed the same visit. We work throughout 78641, 78645, and 78646, from Crystal Falls and Travisso to the quieter lake-side pockets near Volente. If your dryer is taking 60-plus minutes per load or the laundry room smells like burnt lint, the vent is telling you something. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll get it cleared.
We’re based in Georgetown, which puts us about 20 minutes from most Leander neighborhoods. That proximity matters when a vent is so packed with lint that every cycle is a fire risk. Brent Calloway built Resolute Chimney Sweep around a simple idea: dryer vents and chimneys share the same stakes. Both handle hot air and combustion exhaust. Both fail quietly until they don’t. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning service exists because most chimney companies won’t touch dryer vents, and most appliance repair outfits don’t understand venting physics. We do both.
Leander’s housing stock makes this work different from what we see in Georgetown or Liberty Hill. The 2000s – 2020s subdivisions that boomed along the 183/183A corridor were built fast, and dryer vents were an afterthought. Builder-grade plastic flex duct, long runs, tight chases. That’s the environment we work in every week.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Leander: What It Costs and What You Get
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Leander runs $95 – $135 for a single-story home with a wall termination. Two-story homes or vents that run to the roof run $135 – $185. If the vent shares a chase with a prefab fireplace flue, which is common in Crystal Falls and Bryson, expect the higher end. We give the exact price before we start, and the estimate is free. No surprise line items.
- Single-story, wall termination: $95 – $135
- Two-story or roof termination: $135 – $185
- Shared chase with fireplace flue (requires extra inspection time): $150 – $185
- Crushed or kinked duct replacement (rigid metal, per linear foot): $18 – $30
- Termination cap replacement (professional-grade, pest-blocking): $35 – $65
What affects the price in Leander specifically? Roof terminations, for one. A lot of the homes off Ronald Reagan Boulevard and around Travisso have roof vents, which require ladder work and take longer. Shared chases with the fireplace flue add inspection time because we check both systems while we’re there. And if the original builder installed plastic flex duct that’s now crushed, we’ll recommend replacing it with rigid metal. That’s a material cost you can see on the invoice, and we’ll show you the damaged section before we swap it.
Call (877) 644-8036 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and we’ll tell you plainly if the vent can wait or needs to be done now.

Why Resolute Chimney Sweep Is the Team Leander Homeowners Call for Dryer Vents
Most chimney companies in central Texas don’t clean dryer vents. Most handymen don’t understand building codes, chase construction, or the physics of lint accumulation in long horizontal runs. We’re not either of those. We’re a chimney and exhaust specialist that handles the full scope of dryer vent work, from a basic clean-out to replacing a crushed run of flex duct with rigid aluminum pipe.
Brent Calloway’s approach to this company was straightforward: use professional-grade materials, do the job to code, and never recommend work the customer can’t verify. That’s why we stock DuraFlex rigid and semi-rigid aluminum vent systems, not whatever rolls are cheapest at the hardware store. When a vent in a Leander home needs replacement, DuraFlex gives the homeowner a product that resists crushing, meets UL 2158A standards, and will outlast the original builder-grade plastic.
We also do something most vent cleaners don’t: we use a camera inspection. Before and after. You see the blockage, we clear it, and then we show you the clean run. If the vent shares a chase with a prefab fireplace flue, we inspect both. That matters in Leander because the shared-chase construction is so common in the 2000s – 2020s homes along 183A.
And the name Resolute means we see it through. If we find a firebox issue during a dryer vent visit, we’re a chimney repair company too. We don’t hand you a phone number for someone else. One call covers the sweep, the vent, and the repair.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Leander
Dryer Vent Cleaning
This is the core service. We connect a rotating brush system to the vent run and pull every bit of lint, debris, and nesting material out through the termination. For Leander homes, especially two-story builds off Bagdad Road or in the Mason Hills area, we typically find two to three pounds of lint even when the dryer seems to be “working fine.” A full clean-out usually takes 45 to 75 minutes depending on run length and access.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Inspection is camera-based and included with every cleaning. We run a scope through the full duct run and look for kinks, separations, gaps, and pest damage. In Leander’s newer subdivisions, the most common finding is a crush point where the builder zip-tied the flex duct too tight inside the wall chase. That pinch point is a lint trap. The camera confirms it, and we show you the image.
Dryer Vent Termination Cap Clearing
The termination cap is where the vent exits the house. In Leander, wasps and birds love these. The original builder cap is usually a basic flap style with no pest screen, and during the long off-season from May to October, wasps build nests inside the opening. We clear the cap, vacuum the dead nest out, and replace the termination with a pest-blocking model from Copperfield or Olympia Chimney when needed. In Crystal Falls, we pulled a termination sealed completely shut by a wasp nest behind the original builder cap. The dryer had been venting into the wall for weeks.
Dryer Vent Duct Replacement
When the original flex duct is beyond saving, we replace it. In Leander, that usually means swapping plastic builder-grade flex for rigid aluminum or DuraFlex semi-rigid metal. We cut out the crushed section and run the new duct with proper support, no sharp bends. For homes where the vent shares a chase with the fireplace flue, we coordinate the replacement so both systems remain separated and code-compliant.

Trusted Brands We Service in Leander
We don’t install parts from retail shelves. Our vent replacements use DuraFlex and Copperfield products, the same components specified in professional chimney and venting supply catalogs. When a termination cap needs replacing, we use pest-blocking models built for central Texas weather, not the cheap plastic caps that crack in the first hard freeze. We keep common sizes on the truck, which means most Leander replacements happen the same day, not after a week wait for a special order.
Common Dryer Vent Problems We See in Leander Homes
Leander’s housing stock is specific, and the problems repeat. Here’s what we find most often:
- Crushed plastic flex duct in the wall chase. Builders in the 2000s – 2020s ran cheap plastic duct and then closed up the wall. In many Leander homes, that duct was kinked or flattened during construction. The dryer still works, but lint builds at the pinch point until airflow drops. We see this in Crystal Falls, Bryson, and Travisso regularly.
- Wasp and bird nests in the termination cap. The long hot season means caps sit unbothered for months. Wasps move in. By the time winter arrives and the dryer is running heavy loads, the vent is partially or fully blocked. We clear the nest, vacuum the run, and replace the cap with a screened model.
- Shared chase with the prefab fireplace flue. Many Leander homes run the dryer vent and the fireplace flue through the same frame chase. If the vent duct has separated at a joint, lint blows into the firebox side. That’s a fire hazard we address while we’re already inside the access panel.
- Sticky lint film from cedar pollen and humidity. Central Texas humidity plus cedar season creates a paste that coats the inside of the duct. This film grabs lint more aggressively than dry dust. It’s a big reason Leander vents clog faster than vents in, say, Lubbock or Amarillo.

AfterPricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Leander, TX
To state it plainly: a typical dryer vent cleaning in Leander costs $95 – $185. The spread depends on the house. A single-story ranch home around 78645 with a short wall vent is at the bottom. A two-story Travisso home with a roof termination and a shared fireplace chase is at the top. Replacement duct work adds $18 – $30 per linear foot for rigid metal, and a new pest-blocking termination cap runs $35 – $65.
We quote the full price before starting. You know the number, we know the number, and the estimate is free. If we find something beyond the vent, like a firebox issue in the shared chase, we’ll show you camera footage and give you a separate quote for the repair. Nothing is recommended without proof you can see.
Call (877) 644-8036 for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your home’s age, where the dryer sits, and whether the vent runs to the wall or roof, then give you a firm price range before we arrive.
The Shared Chase Problem: A Leander-Specific Vent Hazard
Here’s something most dryer vent pages won’t tell you, and it’s the reason we know Leander homes so well. In the 2000s – 2020s subdivisions built along the 183/183A corridor, builders often ran the dryer vent duct and the prefab fireplace flue through the same framed chase. It saves space and keeps the exterior clean. But if the dryer vent separates at a joint inside that chase, hot lint-laden air blows into the firebox side of the flue. Lint is essentially kindling. Pile it against a warm gas-log firebox and you’ve created a condition that should never exist.
This is why the annual NFPA 211 chimney inspection still applies in Leander, even when the dryer vent is clean. The two systems influence each other when they share a chase, and a camera inspection of one without checking the other misses half the picture.
We ran a call in Crystal Falls where the homeowner called about a musty smell in the laundry room. The dryer vent had been sealed shut by a wasp nest behind the original builder cap, and the 4-inch flex duct was kinked behind the firebox chase. Lint had backed up and was blowing into the side of the firebox every time the dryer ran. We replaced the crushed section with rigid DuraFlex, cleared the entire run, and the homeowner noticed the dryer finishing faster within a week. The laundry room smell was gone. That’s the job.

FAQs – Dryer Vent Cleaning in Leander
Yes, many Leander homes built between 2000 and 2020 have the dryer vent and prefab fireplace flue running through the same framed chase. That’s standard builder practice in the Crystal Falls, Bryson, and Travisso subdivisions. If the dryer vent separates at a joint or gets blocked at the termination, lint can blow into the firebox side of the chase. A clogged dryer vent can absolutely affect the fireplace by introducing combustible lint near the firebox. That’s why we camera-inspect both systems on every job. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll check both while we’re there.
In Leander, we recommend cleaning every 12 months for most homes, and every 6 months if you have a roof termination or a long run with multiple elbows. Older Austin neighborhoods often have short, straight slab runs that can go two years between cleanings. Leander’s two-story homes and the sticky lint film from cedar pollen and humidity clog vents faster. If you’re past a year, schedule a cleaning. Call (877) 644-8036 for a free quote.
Yes. The humidity from Lake Travis and the surrounding creek corridors in 78645 means dryer lint inside the duct absorbs moisture and becomes heavier and stickier. That damp lint clings to duct walls and doesn’t blow out as easily. Homes near the lake often need cleaning every 6 to 12 months. If you’re in the Volente or Hudson Bend side of 78645, call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll set a schedule that fits how your vent actually behaves.
Yes, roof terminations are common in Leander’s newer two-story homes, especially in Travisso and Mason Hills. We clean roof terminations with a ladder and a rotating brush that pulls lint downward to the dryer connection point, then we vacuum the entire run. Roof terminations clog faster in Leander because wasps and birds nest in them during the long off-season, and rain can carry debris down the vent. We’re comfortable on roofs and we do the work safely. Call (877) 644-8036 to schedule.
Yes. Because Resolute Chimney Sweep handles both dryer vents and chimneys, one visit can cover both. We’ll clean the dryer vent, camera-inspect the run, then perform the chimney inspection per NFPA 211 on the same trip. For Leander homes with prefab fireplaces and gas logs, that’s a Level 2 inspection of the firebox, flue, and chase. It’s the same service visit, priced separately, and it saves you from calling two companies. Call (877) 644-8036 and we’ll schedule both.
