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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning New Braunfels Is Leon Valley’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve served Leon Valley since our first jobs in 2013, and the pattern is consistent: homes built between 1952 and the late 1970s with original ductwork that was never designed for five-month South Texas cooling seasons. Our Leon Valley customers return because we document what we find. The photo record shows the 3-inch lint compaction at the first elbow, the Guardsman cap packed with cedar pollen, the 22-foot flex run that hasn’t been touched since the Johnson administration.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Leon Valley job in writing, not as a verbal assurance. And our Free Second Opinion means you can bring any competitor’s written estimate; we’ll put our number beside it, line item by line item.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our San Antonio office, but the crews serving Leon Valley are the same technicians who’ve worked the northwest corridor long enough to know which homes on Grissom Road still run 1960s duct board and which Evers Road properties sit close enough to open land that caliche dust loads the vent cap year-round.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Leon Valley
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Leon Valley job starts with a camera inspection of the full lint pathway, from the dryer transition duct to the exterior termination. In homes near the Leon Valley city limits where rural-edge properties sit on unpaved roads, we regularly find caliche dust packed behind the lint screen that a visual check misses. The inspection documents the condition of the flex run, the cap or bird guard, and any fiberglass degradation from original 1950s-1970s duct board. You get the photos before we quote the work.
Vent Cleaning
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses Rotobrush agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction (high-suction collection that pulls debris into a sealed container rather than redistributing it) to remove compacted lint from the full duct run. Leon Valley’s original flex duct, common in the 1962-1975 build era, has ribbed walls where lint embeds; brush agitation is the only method that dislodges it. Vacuum-only cleaning leaves the embedded layer that becomes next year’s fire risk.
Lint Removal
Lint removal in Leon Valley is rarely a light job. Military rental rotations through Lackland AFB meant decades of deferred maintenance in otherwise well-kept homes. We’ve pulled enough compacted lint from Leon Valley vents to fill grocery bags, particularly in homes where the exterior looked recently painted but the ductwork behind the wall hadn’t been opened since the Reagan administration. The lint we remove is weighed and photographed; you see the volume in the after-report.
Vent Rerouting
Some Leon Valley ranch homes were built with dryer vents that terminate in garages, crawl spaces, or attic areas, against current Bexar County code. Others have 25-foot-plus runs through original duct board that sag and trap moisture. When rerouting is the right fix, we quote it in writing with a diagram of the proposed path, the materials (typically rigid metal duct, not flex), and the final termination point. No work starts until you approve the written scope.
Bird Guard Installation
Leon Valley’s position on San Antonio’s northwest flank puts it directly in the path of Hill Country pollen plumes, and standard vent caps without guards clog faster here than on the city’s east side. We install pest-resistant bird guards that allow proper airflow while blocking cedar pollen accumulation, nesting birds, and rodents. The Guardsman caps we specify are the same ones we replace most often on Evers Road and Grissom Road properties each March, after Cedar Fever season has packed them solid.
Vent Cap Replacement
When the exterior termination is cracked, missing its flapper, or the wrong type for the duct material, we replace it with a cap matched to the run. Leon Valley’s older homes often have 4-inch caps on 6-inch duct, or plastic caps that degraded in UV exposure. We photograph the existing cap, specify the replacement in the written quote, and show you the before-and-after as part of the standard job record.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Leon Valley Homes
- Cedar pollen packing vent caps each winter. Leon Valley’s northwest position means Ashe juniper pollen hits these homes first and hardest. By February, bird guards and caps are often packed solid, mimicking a lint blockage but requiring cap removal and cleaning before the duct run can be addressed.
- Original 1952-1970s flex duct shedding fiberglass into the lint pathway. The early fiberglass flex common in Leon Valley ranch homes degrades with decades of heat cycling. Vacuum-only cleaning misses the embedded particles; brush agitation is required to dislodge the material that’s actually restricting airflow.
- Deferred maintenance in former Lackland AFB rental properties. A high share of Leon Valley homes cycled through military renters with no incentive to schedule vent cleaning. We routinely find 20-plus years of lint accumulation behind dryers that look recently updated on the exterior.
- Longer service drives to rural-edge properties leading to 18-24 month cleaning intervals. Homes on the outer Leon Valley streets near open land or unpaved roads see faster lint and dust loading, but owners often defer service past the 12-month mark. By the time we arrive, lint density has reached fire-hazard levels.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Leon Valley, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Leon Valley runs $180-$260 for a single-family ranch home with up to 15 feet of accessible duct and a ground-level termination. Homes with second-story terminations, 20-plus-foot runs, or significant lint compaction fall in the $260-$320 range. Vent rerouting, bird guard installation, or cap replacement are quoted separately in writing before work starts.
What moves the price: the length and material of the duct run, the accessibility of the termination, the volume of debris removed, and whether the job requires parts replacement. We do not quote per-vent or offer teaser coupon rates that balloon once the truck arrives. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before any work starts, every time. Call (830) 549-6847 for a free written estimate.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Leon Valley
Every 12 months. Homes on unpaved roads or near open land in Leon Valley load dust and pollen faster than interior suburban properties, and the original 1950s-1970s ductwork common here traps debris in degraded flex walls that newer materials don’t. If you dry more than five loads weekly or run a home-based business with linens or uniforms, inspect at 9 months. Call (830) 549-6847 for a free written estimate.
The exterior cap can appear clear while the interior duct run is packed with lint. In Leon Valley’s post-WWII ranch homes, we commonly find the restriction at the first elbow behind the dryer or in a sagging section of original flex duct where moisture has compacted lint into a solid mass. The only way to know is a camera inspection of the full run. We include this in every standard job and show you the footage before quoting work.
Yes. Leon Valley sits on the northwest edge of San Antonio, directly in the path of Ashe juniper pollen plumes from the Hill Country before they disperse across the metro. December through February, we replace more vent caps and bird guards in Leon Valley than in comparable neighborhoods on the east or south side. The pollen packs into cap screens and flapper mechanisms, creating airflow restrictions that mimic lint blockages.
We do it regularly. Leon Valley’s military rental history means many homes have pristine exteriors and neglected mechanical systems. On a ranch-style home off Evers Road, we found a 1968 flex run that had never been cleaned; the lint compaction required extended agitation with Rotobrush tools and negative-pressure extraction. The job took longer than standard, but we quoted the full scope in writing before starting and delivered the documented photo record at completion. No home is too far gone for an honest assessment.
We specify Guardsman pest-resistant bird guards and caps matched to the duct diameter and termination type. For Leon Valley homes in heavy pollen zones, we recommend guards with larger mesh surface area to resist cedar packing while maintaining airflow. The brand and part number are listed in your written quote, and we photograph the installed cap as part of the standard job record. Call (830) 549-6847 to schedule.
