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 Cibolo
Dryer vent cleaning in Cibolo typically runs $150-$275 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in under two hours with the dryer back in service the same day. Our crews dispatch from the San Antonio office and carry the tools and camera gear needed for Cibolo’s long attic flex runs, which are different from the short straight vents found in older homes elsewhere.
We’ve been working in Cibolo long enough to know the difference between a 2008 build in Fox Brook and a 2019 build in Willow Village. The vent systems look similar on the surface, but the earlier homes often have builder-grade flex duct that has been baking in 140°F attic temperatures for fifteen years, while newer subdivisions may still be shedding construction debris from the original build. Either way, our Dryer Vent Cleaning team treats every Cibolo home as its own case. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before we touch a single vent.
Why Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning Is Cibolo’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Cibolo homeowners call us because we answer the phone. Not a queue, not a robot. A live person, any time of day, who can look at the schedule and tell you when we’ll be in your neighborhood.
We’ve built our reputation in Cibolo on showing up in the window we promised and putting the price in writing before the work starts. The Kingswell Guarantee, which governs every Kestrel job, requires four things: a written price before work begins, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee with a free return visit if the work fails within the guarantee period. Dale Whitmore has stood behind that standard since the company was founded in 2004.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they arrive with Rotobrush rotary systems, Nikro negative-pressure units, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration. These aren’t shop vacs from a big-box store. The Rotobrush dislodges debris at the duct wall. The Nikro pulls it out under controlled suction. The HEPA gear keeps loosened particles out of your living space while we work.
We know Cibolo’s roads, its subdivision layouts, and the specific vent configurations that builders like DR Horton and KB Home used across different phases of growth. That local knowledge saves time on every call.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Cibolo
Dryer Vent Inspection in Cibolo is often the first service we perform, because so many local homes have never had their vent system examined since the day the buyer got the keys. The inspection involves running a borescope camera through the full length of the duct, from the laundry room connection to the exterior termination, while the dryer runs to measure airflow and back-pressure at the same time.
A typical Dryer Vent Inspection in Cibolo runs $89-$129, and we apply that fee toward the cleaning if you proceed with the work. Most Cibolo homeowners need an inspection when the dryer starts taking longer to dry, when they smell burning lint, or when they’ve just bought a production-built home and have no maintenance history.
Camera Inspection of Long Flex Runs
Cibolo’s slab-on-grade production homes almost always route the dryer vent through a long flex run in the attic. Our camera shows us exactly where lint has packed the corrugations, where the duct may be crushed against a truss, and whether the builder terminated the vent inside a soffit or attic space instead of outside. We document everything with photos you can keep.
Airflow Testing and Back-Pressure Measurement
We measure airflow at the exterior cap with the dryer running on high heat. If the reading falls below 1,500 feet per minute, we know there’s a restriction somewhere in the line. Back-pressure testing tells us whether the problem is a simple lint buildup or a design flaw like too many elbows, a kinked section behind drywall, or an improper termination.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cibolo
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cibolo covers multi-unit housing, laundromats, veterinary clinics, and any business that runs dryers on a production schedule. These systems accumulate lint faster than residential units because the machines run more cycles per day, and the consequences of a fire or moisture backup are more severe when tenants or customers are affected.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cibolo typically starts at $225 for a straightforward two-story multi-family setup and can run to $600+ for larger systems with rooftop terminations, multiple branches, or code-compliance issues. We price by the system, not by the vent, and we put the full scope in writing before we start.
Multi-Unit Housing and Property Management
Property managers in Cibolo’s rental-heavy subdivisions near JBSA-Randolph face a specific challenge: tenant turnover every two to three years, with no duct maintenance between occupants. We coordinate with management to inspect and clean all units in a single visit, documenting each with before-and-after photos and providing a certificate of cleaning for the property file.
Laundromat and High-Cycle Commercial Systems
Commercial dryers in Cibolo laundromats run eight to twelve hours daily. Lint bypasses the screen and packs the duct at rates a residential homeowner never sees. We schedule these cleanings during off-hours to avoid disrupting business, and we use Nikro high-capacity negative-air units that can handle the volume without choking the equipment.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cibolo
We stock parts and accessories from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Cibolo customers who need more than a cleaning. Honeywell vent kits and airflow sensors help us verify that a cleaned system is actually performing after we leave. Aprilaire humidifier and filtration components integrate with whole-home systems common in newer Cibolo builds. Guardsman vent caps and bird guards are our go-to for exterior terminations, because they hold up to the South-Central Texas sun without warping or cracking. If your vent cap is damaged or missing, we can replace it during the same visit instead of scheduling a return trip.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Cibolo Homes
- Attic terminations dumping lint into soffits. Some Cibolo production builders terminated dryer vents inside the attic or behind a soffit instead of through an exterior wall. The homeowner sees no lint outside and assumes the vent is clear, while years of accumulation create a fire hazard in a 140°F space.
- Crushed flex behind drywall. The long flex runs in slab-on-grade Cibolo homes are easily kinked during installation or later maintenance. A shop-vac at the laundry box can’t reach a blockage six feet away behind the drywall, but our camera finds it immediately.
- Construction debris from the original build. In Cibolo’s 5-15 year old homes, we regularly pull out drywall dust, wood shavings, and blown-in insulation fibers that were sealed into the duct during construction. The homeowner bought a “new” house and never imagined the vent needed cleaning.
- Multi-household lint accumulation between JBSA-Randolph rotations. Military families rotate every two to three years, and landlords rarely clean vents between tenants. We enter homes in Copper Creek or Turning Stone where the vent carries lint from three previous households, none of whom knew there was a problem.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cibolo, TX
Most residential dryer vent cleanings in Cibolo fall between $150 and $275. A straightforward single-story home with a wall termination and moderate lint buildup sits at the lower end. Two-story homes with roof terminations, long attic flex runs, or construction debris packed into the corrugations run toward the higher end. Commercial systems start at $225 and scale with the number of branches and the access difficulty.
What moves the price: the length and type of duct, the termination location (wall, soffit, or roof), whether we need to reroute or replace damaged sections, and whether bird guards or cap replacements are part of the job. We don’t charge per vent or tack on fees after arrival. The written price we give you before work starts is the price you pay. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cibolo
Yes, and it’s more common than you’d think in Cibolo. Production builders don’t clean ducts before handover, so your 2017 home may still contain drywall dust, insulation fibers, and wood shavings from the original construction crew. We recommend a camera inspection for any Cibolo home that has never been serviced. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before we start.
The homes in Copper Creek and Turning Stone are newer slab-on-grade builds with long flex runs through hot attics, and many serve the JBSA-Randolph rotation cycle with multiple tenant households between cleanings. Older neighborhoods typically have shorter metal duct runs and long-term owners who maintain their systems. Call (469) 972-3151 if you’re in one of these subdivisions and haven’t had your vent inspected.
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint and debris from the dedicated dryer duct only. The rest of your HVAC ductwork is a separate system that requires air duct cleaning. Many Cibolo homeowners schedule both services together, especially in homes where construction debris has been circulating for years. We can inspect both systems and quote them separately so you choose what fits.
We set up negative-air extraction at the roof cap using our Nikro unit, then run Rotobrush agitation tools from the laundry room connection to dislodge packed lint. For roof terminations, we also verify proper airflow at the cap with the dryer cycling to confirm the full length is clear. Roof access adds complexity, so these jobs typically run $225-$275. Call (469) 972-3151 for an exact quote.
We service both. Our commercial work in Cibolo includes multi-unit housing near JBSA-Randolph, laundromats, and any business with production-scale dryer use. Commercial pricing starts at $225 and we put the full scope in writing before work begins. Call (469) 972-3151 to discuss your building’s setup.
Every Kestrel job in Cibolo is governed by The Kingswell Way: say the price, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work falls short within a year, we return and make it right at no charge. That promise is documented on every single job, not offered as a discretionary courtesy.
