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 Converse
Dryer vent cleaning in Converse typically runs $175-$295 for a standard single-family vent run, with most jobs completed in 60-90 minutes and a written price delivered before any work starts. We serve Converse from our San Antonio dispatch office, and our crews know the northeast Bexar County corridor well - from the older subdivisions off FM 78 to the newer builds toward Cibolo Creek. If your dryer is taking longer than 45 minutes to dry a standard load, or if you can’t remember the last time the full vent line was inspected, the lint pathway is likely obstructed further than the trap can show. Call (830) 549-6847 for a free estimate with a written price before we start.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning New Braunfels Is Converse’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving the Converse market since 2013, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning team has documented the inside of thousands of vent runs across northeast Bexar County. Our reputation here is built on what we can show, not what we say - every customer receives a before-and-after photo record of their own vent line, and every job starts with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1.
Converse homeowners and the investors who own many of the rental properties near JBSA-Randolph call us because we don’t quote over the phone and then rewrite the invoice on site. The price we write down is the price you pay. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes, who leads CleanRun, still reviews photo records from Converse jobs personally - not as a marketing gesture, but as a quality check on whether the source removal was complete.
We don’t claim to be the fastest to your door. We claim to be the most accountable once we’re there.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Converse
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Converse dryer vent cleaning starts with a camera inspection of the full lint pathway, from the appliance connection through the wall or attic chase to the exterior termination. In Converse’s 2002-2010 tract homes, the dryer vent run often shares the same sweltering attic chase as the flex ductwork, so the first thing our techs do is trace the lint pathway through an attic that regularly bakes past 140°F - where the heat has been quietly curing lint into a hard, flammable mat for 15-20 years. The inspection finds what the trap cannot: sintered lint deposits, collapsed flex sections, degraded roof caps, and construction debris left from the original build. You see the camera feed in real time. We don’t start cleaning until you’ve seen what we found and agreed to the written scope.
Vent Cleaning and Lint Removal
We clean vent runs with agitation tools under negative-pressure extraction (a suction system that captures dislodged debris at the source, so nothing escapes into your laundry room or attic). In Converse, this matters more than in milder climates. The Blackland Prairie’s fine particulate, combined with attic heat that accelerates lint compaction, means Converse vent runs often harbor dense, felted blockages that shop-vac suction alone won’t touch. On a rental duplex off FM 78 near the JBSA-Randolph gate, our tech pulled a dryer vent run that had never been touched since the home was framed in 2006 - the flex section behind the laundry wall was packed solid with felted lint, and the bird guard on the roof cap had collapsed inward and swallowed a wad of it. We ran a camera inspection down the full lint pathway, cleared the blockage with agitation tools under negative pressure, replaced the crushed vent cap, and photographed the before-and-after for the investor, who had no idea the tenant had been drying clothes against a blocked line for two PCS cycles.
Vent Rerouting
Some Converse homes were built with vent runs that are too long, have too many elbows, or terminate in locations that violate current IRC guidelines. A vent run exceeding 35 feet of equivalent length (each 90-degree elbow counts as 5 additional feet) cannot effectively expel lint even when “clean.” We reroute these systems to shorter, straighter paths with proper exterior termination, using rigid metal duct where code requires it. This is not a upsell - if your vent run is functionally inadequate, we show you the measurement on camera and quote the reroute in writing before cutting anything.
Vent Cap Replacement and Bird Guard Installation
Most Converse homes built during the 2000s boom still carry their original roof or wall caps. A decade-plus of Blackland Prairie wind and sun has cracked and collapsed most of them, letting birds nest directly into the lint pathway. We replace failed caps with code-compliant terminations and install bird guards where the local fauna is active. The new cap is photographed before and after installation, and the work is covered under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Converse
Our equipment roster includes professional-grade tools from Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, and Guardsman - brands you can look up independently before agreeing to any work. We don’t buy anonymous equipment from auction lots. For Converse customers, this means replacement parts for vent caps, bird guards, and transition fittings are stocked on our trucks, so a failed component doesn’t turn into a second appointment. The tools we use are the same ones specified for commercial duct cleaning: HEPA-filtered negative air machines, rotary brush systems with variable-speed drives, and borescope cameras that record in 1080p. You don’t have to take our word for their capability. The photo record shows what they accomplished in your specific vent run.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Converse Homes
- Heat-cured lint mats in attic chases. Converse’s vent runs pass through attics that exceed 140°F for months each summer. Lint that would stay fluffy in a Minnesota attic bakes into a dense, flammable mat here. The trap looks clean. The chase is not.
- Collapsed original bird guards and roof caps. Those 2000s-build caps have endured 15-20 years of UV exposure and wind-driven debris. We find them cracked, missing louvers, or stuffed with nesting material. A cap that can’t open freely turns the vent run into a pressure cooker.
- Neglected rental properties near JBSA-Randolph. Military tenants on 2-3-year PCS orders rarely know their landlord’s maintenance history, and landlords rarely inspect between tenants. We routinely pull original construction debris - sawdust, joint-compound dust, fiberglass strands - that has sat undisturbed since 2004 or 2006.
- Flex duct sagging and disconnection behind laundry walls. Converse’s slab-on-grade tract homes often have the dryer pushed tight against the wall, compressing the transition duct. Over years of vibration, the flex separates partially from the wall port, dumping lint into the wall cavity instead of the vent line.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Converse, TX
We publish ranges because Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before any work starts - and that price has to be grounded in something real.
| Service | Typical Range in Converse |
|---|---|
| Standard dryer vent cleaning (single run, ground-floor termination) | $175-$225 |
| Dryer vent cleaning with attic chase access or roof-cap termination | $225-$295 |
| Vent cap or bird guard replacement (parts + labor) | $85-$165 |
| Vent rerouting (per run, including materials) | $340-$495 |
| Camera inspection alone (credited toward cleaning if performed same visit) | $85 |
What moves a job toward the higher end: roof-cap access requiring ladder work, multiple 90-degree elbows that slow source removal, or the need to cut and repair drywall to reach a disconnected flex section. What does not affect price: the number of loads you dry per week, the brand of your dryer, or how “bad” we say it looks. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. No per-vent pricing. No $79 coupon that becomes $400 on site.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Converse
Start with observable facts, not our opinion. Time a standard load of towels: if it’s pushing past 50 minutes, the moist air isn’t escaping efficiently. Feel the dryer cabinet itself - if it’s hot to the touch mid-cycle, the exhaust is restricted. Check the exterior cap while the dryer runs: weak airflow or no lint visible after a week of use means the pathway is blocked downstream. We camera-inspect before quoting, and we show you the feed. If the line is clear, we’ll say so and charge only the inspection fee. Call (830) 549-6847 and we’ll put the inspection protocol in writing before we dispatch.
Converse’s combination of fine Blackland Prairie particulate, near-continuous cooling-season operation, and attic temperatures that cure lint into a dense mat creates conditions no northern climate replicates. Your dryer ran 4-5 months per year in Michigan. Here it runs 10-11 months, pulling more air volume through the same line, and that attic heat bakes the lint in place instead of letting it blow through. The result is faster accumulation and harder deposits. Most Converse homes need inspection every 18-24 months; rentals with high tenant turnover often need it annually.
Yes, with the tenant’s authorization and payment. We don’t need the landlord’s involvement to perform the work, though we recommend notifying them since the vent line is building infrastructure. We’ve cleaned many Converse rentals where the tenant paid directly to avoid another PCS cycle of two-hour drying times. We provide the photo record and written invoice; you can present it to the landlord for reimbursement or keep it for your move-out documentation. The 365-Day Done Right Promise follows the work, not the lease.
Our technician arrives identified by name, in uniform, and begins with a camera inspection of the full lint pathway from dryer to termination. You see the feed. We write a scope and price; you approve it in writing. We then use rotary agitation tools under negative-pressure extraction to remove source debris, replace any failed components (cap, bird guard, transition duct), and run a final camera pass to verify clearance. You receive the before-and-after photo record as a standard deliverable, plus the written scope and warranty documentation. The whole process typically takes 60-90 minutes for a standard Converse single-family home.
We don’t promise same-day dispatch because dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled, documented job - not an emergency service. What we do promise is that when we arrive, we’ll have the right equipment, the time to do the inspection properly, and a written price before any work starts. Most Converse customers book within 2-4 business days. Call (830) 549-6847 to check current availability and receive a written estimate range by text or email before you commit to an appointment.
