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 Selma
Dryer vent cleaning in Selma typically costs $140-$280 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in under two hours with a written price agreed before any work starts. If your dryer is taking longer to dry clothes, running hotter than usual, or you’ve never had the vent run inspected since moving in, the problem is usually a blocked lint pathway rather than a failing appliance. Call (830) 549-6847 for a free written estimate - estimates include a camera inspection so you see the condition before deciding.
CleanRun crews serve Selma from our San Antonio office, and we’ve worked in subdivisions from The Ridge at Selma to the Mesa Vista and Retama Park areas. The housing stock here is almost entirely post-2000 construction, which means the contamination story in Selma isn’t decades of settled grime - it’s construction debris left inside flex duct systems before the first family ever moved in. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team documents every run with before-and-after photos, so you can verify what was actually removed.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning New Braunfels Is Selma’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Selma

Dryer Vent Inspection
A proper inspection in Selma starts with a camera run through the full lint pathway, not a flashlight glance at the exterior cap. In the tract homes built along I-35 and Loop 1604 during the 2000s-2010s boom, we’ve found kinked flex duct behind air handler platforms, construction dust packed at the first elbow, and vent caps installed without bird guards - all invisible from the laundry room. The inspection delivers a Documented Photo Record of the full run, dated and included in your job record. If the vent is clear, we’ll show you that too. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the written price before any cleaning work begins, so the inspection quote is separate and upfront.

Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning process uses agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration - we dislodge material from the duct walls and pull it out, rather than pushing it deeper or leaving it in the system. In Selma’s corrugated flex duct, this matters because lint mixed with drywall dust and caliche particles forms a dense plug that standard brushes often compress rather than remove. We verify airflow recovery with a calibrated meter before signing off. Every cleaning concludes with the Documented Photo Record: dated before-and-after images of the full run, delivered as part of the standard job record.

Lint Removal
Lint accumulation in Selma homes accelerates faster than owners expect. Cedar pollen season runs December through February in the Ashe juniper belt, and families running more laundry during those months push additional particulate through the system. When that pollen load meets construction debris already in the duct, the result is a packed pathway that restricts airflow and forces the dryer to run longer and hotter. We remove the full accumulation, not just the accessible portion near the termination cap. The photo record shows the volume and type of material removed - no guessing, no trust-me language.

Vent Rerouting
Some Selma homes have dryer vent runs that were never routed optimally during construction - too many elbows, excessive horizontal runs in the attic, or terminations that create back-pressure. When inspection shows the layout itself is the problem, we quote rerouting with a written scope and price before any structural work. Rerouting in Selma’s slab-on-grade homes typically involves accessing the attic space above the laundry room and installing rigid or semi-rigid duct where flex was originally used. The work is photographed at each stage and backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Bird Guard Installation
Exterior vent caps in Selma are frequently missing or damaged bird guards after the first year, especially in subdivisions with mature tree cover near Retama Park. Nesting material blocks the termination point right when cedar pollen season sends families to the laundry room more often. We stock bird guards matched to common vent cap profiles found in local production builds, and installation is quoted as a line item if needed. The guard is photographed installed, and the warranty covers both the guard and the seal.

Vent Cap Replacement
Cracked, painted-shut, or improperly screened vent caps are common in Selma’s newer homes where builders used minimum-spec terminations. We carry replacements that meet current IRC guidelines for backdraft prevention and pest exclusion, and we photograph the old and new cap as part of the job record. Replacement is quoted in writing before installation.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Selma
CleanRun technicians in Selma work with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Honeywell - brands recognized in the duct cleaning trade for documented performance, not marketing claims. Rotobrush agitation systems handle the corrugated flex duct common in Selma’s production-built homes without damaging the thin-wall material. Nikro HEPA-filtered extractors maintain negative pressure during cleaning, preventing debris release into the living space. Honeywell airflow meters verify actual recovery, not estimated improvement. We don’t claim these tools do anything their manufacturers don’t publish, and we name them so you can verify specifications before agreeing to a price.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Selma Homes

- Kinked attic flex duct acting as a debris dam. In Selma’s fast-built subdivisions, the dryer vent run is often roughed in during the same compressed schedule as the HVAC flex ducts. The kink traps lint and construction dust where standard cleaning brushes can’t reach without camera guidance.
- Drywall dust and caliche forming dense plugs. New-construction debris left in the corrugated flex duct mixes with lint to create a restriction that mimics a failing blower motor or heating element. Homeowners replace appliances before checking the vent.
- Missing bird guards after year one. Nesting material blocks the termination point, often discovered when drying times spike during cedar pollen season - December through February - when laundry volume is already elevated.
- Excessive elbows and horizontal runs from poor original routing. Each 90-degree elbow adds equivalent length to the vent run; Selma homes with three or more elbows often exceed the 25-foot equivalent limit in IRC guidelines, compounding any blockage.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma

The vent run was likely contaminated before you moved in. In Selma’s production-built homes, drywall dust, blown-insulation fibers, and caliche particles are routinely left inside flex duct systems during compressed build schedules. That construction debris mixes with lint from normal use, creating a dense plug that restricts airflow within the first two to four years. The dryer works harder, runs hotter, and takes longer to dry - symptoms owners mistake for appliance failure. Call (830) 549-6847 for a camera inspection that shows exactly what’s inside.
Cedar pollen season in the Ashe juniper belt runs late November through February, and families typically run more laundry during those months - heavier clothing, more bedding, towels from holiday guests. The increased lint load enters a vent pathway that may already contain construction debris from the original build. The combination accelerates blockage formation right when outdoor air is most saturated with pollen, which also loads the HVAC system. Many Selma customers schedule both dryer vent and air duct cleaning in the same visit before January. Call (830) 549-6847 for a combined quote.
A kinked vent appears as a sharp bend or compression in the corrugated flex duct, often where it passes behind an air handler platform or through a tight framing chase. In Selma’s slab-on-grade homes with attic-routed duct, these kinks were frequently created during fast-paced construction and never corrected. The kink acts as a debris dam - lint and dust accumulate upstream, while the restriction reduces airflow enough that the dryer cannot exhaust properly. A camera inspection reveals the kink and the accumulation in the same image. Without addressing the kink, cleaning alone won’t restore proper airflow. Call (830) 549-6847 for inspection and correction.
Yes. CleanRun crews carry the full equipment load for both services, and scheduling them together avoids a second trip charge. The combined visit follows the same protocol: written price before work starts, camera inspection of both systems, agitation and negative-pressure extraction, then a Documented Photo Record of every run. In Selma’s newer homes, the same construction debris profile often affects both the HVAC ductwork and the dryer vent pathway, so the combined cleaning removes the full contamination load in one documented visit. Call (830) 549-6847 for a combined written estimate.
Look at the exterior vent cap - if the screen or flapper is missing, damaged, or clogged with nesting material, the termination point is compromised. In Selma subdivisions with mature tree cover, this often appears within the first year after construction. Signs include longer drying times that worsen seasonally, lint accumulation around the exterior cap, or visible debris at the termination. We inspect the cap as part of every service visit and stock replacements and bird guards matched to common profiles found in local production builds. Call (830) 549-6847 for inspection and correction.
