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.

We serve Canyon Lake from our San Antonio dispatch office, with crews running the Hill Country corridor daily. That means we’re familiar with the rocky limestone lots, the narrow lakefront drives, and the shared building systems that define this market. Whether you’re in a weekend cabin off FM 306, a duplex in Sherwood Shores, or a retirement home near Comal Park, we bring the same documented approach: written price first, photo record after, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning New Braunfels Is Canyon Lake’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Canyon Lake properties since we opened in 2013, and the pattern is clear: this isn’t a market where a quick shop-vac and a handshake suffice. Canyon Lake’s housing stock - vacation cabins, duplexes, and retirement homes built largely between the 1970s and 2000s - presents vent configurations we don’t see in standard suburban subdivisions. Our crews know the difference between a single-wall vent run and a shared stack serving three units, and they know how to access both without damaging the limestone landscaping or the building exterior.
Our reputation here is built on documentation, not claims. Every job gets a written price before work begins, Haven Standard Clause 1. Every vent run is photographed before and after, so the customer sees what was actually removed - not just told. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they’re identified by name before arrival. We don’t do urgency theatre or “call for pricing.” We do written estimates, free second opinions on any competitor’s quote, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Canyon Lake

Dryer Vent Inspection
A proper inspection in Canyon Lake starts with the termination point, and that’s where many crews stop short. Rocky lots and dense shoreline vegetation often block vent caps from ground level, so we carry the ladder setup needed to inspect the actual cap, not just peer from the driveway. We run a camera through the full duct run, documenting lint density, structural damage, and any animal intrusion. In duplex and multi-unit buildings - common in subdivisions like Sherwood Shores and Startzville - we map whether the stack is shared and which units connect where. The inspection concludes with a written scope and price before any cleaning begins.

Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration - a vacuum system that pulls lint and debris out under controlled suction rather than blowing it into the laundry room or wall cavity. For Canyon Lake’s shared stacks, we clean the full common riser, not just the branch line to the complaining unit. Partial cleaning is why lint re-accumulates within a season; we document the full run so every connected unit benefits. Shoreline humidity here caked lint into hard plugs against vent caps, so we use agitation tools to break up compacted material before extraction. The job ends with before-and-after photos of every section cleaned, delivered as part of the standard job record.

Lint Removal
Lint in Canyon Lake vents isn’t just the fluffy stuff from your jeans. In vacation homes left vacant between rentals, humidity from the lake hardens lint into dense, layered deposits that restrict airflow far more than typical household accumulation. We see this in properties along the shoreline and in the canyon-bottom subdivisions where morning fog lingers. Our process breaks up these compacted layers with rotary brushes and pneumatic whips, then extracts them under negative pressure. For severe blockages, we may need to access the duct at multiple points - always with a written change order if the scope expands beyond the original estimate.

Vent Rerouting
Some Canyon Lake homes, particularly the 1970s and 1980s cabins with original construction, have vent runs that are too long, too convoluted, or terminated in now-enclosed spaces that no longer meet code. Rerouting isn’t common, but when it’s necessary, we provide a written scope with material specifications and a fixed price. We use rigid metal ducting for new runs, not the flexible foil or plastic that degrades in unconditioned attics. Every reroute is photographed and documented, and the work carries the same 365-Day Done Right Promise as our standard cleanings.

Bird Guard Installation
Canyon Lake’s shoreline and Hill Country surroundings attract birds, packrats, and mice seeking nesting sites. An unguarded vent cap is an open invitation. We install Guardsman bird guards - metal mesh covers that block animal entry while maintaining proper airflow - on any vent where the termination point is accessible to wildlife. This is standard practice after we’ve removed a nest, and we photograph the installation as part of the job record. For properties with recurring intrusion issues, we can also recommend vent cap replacement with animal-proof designs.

Vent Cap Replacement
The vent cap is the most exposed component of the system, and Canyon Lake’s sun exposure and occasional severe weather take a toll. Cracked or missing flappers, corroded screens, and caps painted shut by previous owners are common findings. We stock replacement caps compatible with standard 4-inch ducting and can replace a damaged cap during the same visit as a cleaning, with the cost included in the written price or quoted separately if discovered during inspection.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Canyon Lake Homes

- Shared stacks partially cleared. In Canyon Lake’s duplex and small multi-unit buildings, one clogged lint pathway affects every connected unit’s dryer performance. Many services clean only the branch line to the complaining unit, leaving the common riser packed. Lint re-accumulates within a season, and the next tenant or owner faces the same problem. We clean and document the full stack.
- Vacant vacation homes with hardened lint plugs. Weekend rentals and seasonal cabins sit closed for weeks with humidity from the lake baking lint into dense, airflow-blocking deposits. Owners arrive, fire up the dryer, and wonder why a load takes three cycles. The camera usually shows a hard plug at the first elbow or against the vent cap.
- Animal intrusion in unoccupied properties. Packrats and mice are active in the Hill Country year-round, and an unguarded vent cap on a vacant home is ideal nesting territory. We regularly find nesting material packed into ductwork of properties left empty over winter - the first sign is often a foul smell when the system runs in spring.
- Blocked termination points from overgrowth or poor access. Rocky limestone lots and narrow lakefront drives mean vent caps are often hidden by vegetation or unreachable from the ground. Crews without proper ladder equipment never inspect the actual termination, so bird nests, packrat debris, and physical damage go undetected until the dryer fails.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Canyon Lake

No. Cleaning only the branch line to one unit leaves lint packed in the common riser, so the other unit’s dryer still runs hot and lint re-accumulates in the cleaned branch within a season. We inspect and clean the full shared stack, document every connected unit’s airflow before and after, and provide a single written price for the complete job. Call (830) 549-6847 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
It doesn’t directly affect the vent itself, but it correlates with the season when many Canyon Lake properties sit vacant. December through February, when mountain cedar pollen peaks, is also when weekend owners stay away. Lint accumulates uninterrupted, and the first heavy use in spring often reveals blockages that formed months earlier. We recommend pre-season inspection for properties that will see heavy spring use. Call (830) 549-6847 to schedule - estimates are free.
Unoccupied properties with warm, sheltered duct runs and unguarded vent caps attract nesting birds, particularly in shoreline subdivisions where tree cover is dense. The nest blocks airflow, creating a fire hazard and forcing the dryer to overheat. We remove nests under controlled conditions, install Guardsman bird guards to prevent recurrence, and document the full run with before-and-after photos. Call (830) 549-6847 for an inspection - estimates are free.
Yes. Our trucks carry compact extraction units and ladder setups that work in restricted spaces, and we’re accustomed to coordinating access with property managers or HOAs in Canyon Lake’s denser shoreline subdivisions. We schedule with written confirmation of access requirements and arrive within the stated window. Call (830) 549-6847 to discuss your building’s specific access - estimates are free.
