Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Georgetown
A dryer vent cleaning in Georgetown typically costs $129 – $189 for a single-family home and takes 45 – 90 minutes. We schedule Georgetown appointments Monday through Saturday, and most Sun City Texas and downtown homeowners get on the calendar within 3 – 5 business days. If you live in 78626, 78627, 78628, or 78633 and your dryer has started taking two cycles to finish a load, call (877) 274-1247 and we’ll walk you through what we check before we even arrive.
Why Georgetown Homeowners Call Boardwalk Chimney Sweep
Boardwalk Chimney Sweep runs a full-service chimney and dryer-vent operation out of Round Rock, which puts us about 15 minutes from most Georgetown neighborhoods. We work in Georgetown weekly, so our techs know the difference between a 1920s masonry home near the square and a 2003 ranch in Sun City Texas without asking for directions. That matters when the vent routing is unusual and you don’t want a technician learning your house on your clock.
Brent Holloway built the company around one idea: repair what we inspect. When our Dryer Vent Cleaning team runs a camera through a Sun City Texas vent and finds a clog at a 90-degree elbow, we clean it and show you the before-and-after footage on the spot. Georgetown homeowners keep calling us because we don’t tell you a vent is clean without proving it, and we don’t push replacement parts unless the camera evidence is on the screen in front of you.
We’re licensed and insured, and our Georgetown work is handled by the same crew that handles the chimney side, so you’re not getting a subcontractor who’s never seen a historic masonry wall before. If you’re in downtown Georgetown with a vent running through original brick, that experience matters.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Georgetown
Dryer Vent Cleaning
We remove lint, animal nesting, and debris from the full vent run, from the dryer connection to the exterior hood. In Sun City Texas ranch homes, that run is often 15 – 25 feet with two or three elbows, and we use a rotary brush with a variable-speed drill and a high-powered vacuum to pull everything out without leaving loose lint inside the wall cavity. Georgetown’s sudden fall-to-winter temperature swings mean dryers run heavier from November through February, so a fall cleaning catches buildup before the holiday laundry surge.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every cleaning includes a camera inspection, but we also offer standalone inspections for Georgetown homeowners who just bought a house or haven’t had the vent checked in years. In 78633, we regularly find disconnected joints inside walls, sagging foil duct, and exterior hoods that have been painted shut during a HOA repaint. You get a written report and the footage, so you can see exactly what we saw, no mystery recommendations.
Bird Guard Installation
Seasonal residents leaving Georgetown for months at a time come back to find birds or rodents nesting in the dryer vent hood. We install galvanized steel bird guards that block entry without restricting airflow, sized to the existing hood. For Sun City Texas residents who head north for the summer, this is a one-time fix that prevents a recurring problem and the lint fires that follow a blocked hood.
Dryer Vent Repair and Rerouting
When a vent’s been crushed, disconnected, or built with flexible foil duct that sags and traps lint, we replace it with rigid metal duct and secure every joint. In downtown Georgetown’s older homes, we’ve rerouted vents to avoid structural framing and masonry that were never designed for modern dryer exhaust. We repair what we inspect, so if the camera shows a problem, we fix it in the same visit when parts are on the truck.

Trusted Brands We Service and Install in Georgetown
We install and service dryer vent components from manufacturers we trust, including Olympia Chimney and Famco hoods and termination caps. These are the same brands specified by trade professionals nationwide, not the flimsy plastic hoods that crack in a Georgetown freeze or the foil duct that sags inside a Sun City Texas wall. We keep common replacement parts on the truck, so if your Georgetown home needs a new exterior hood or a rigid duct section, we typically finish the job the same day without a return trip.

AfterCommon Dryer Vent Problems We See in Georgetown Homes
- Long horizontal runs in Sun City Texas ranch homes: These single-story floorplans push dryers to an exterior wall, but the vent path often runs 15 – 25 feet through walls and across ceilings to reach the hood. Lint settles in every low spot and elbow, and it builds fast because these homeowners are home all day doing laundry. The result is lint clogs at 90-degree elbows, exactly where you can’t see them without a camera.
- Foil dryer duct in homes built in the 1980s and 1990s: Some Georgetown homes still have flexible foil duct behind the wall or in the attic, which sags and collects lint at every droop. We replace it with solid metal duct that keeps airflow moving and gives lint nothing to grab. This is a Georgetown-specific issue because so much of the older housing stock predates modern venting codes.
- Animal nesting in exterior hoods: Georgetown’s greenbelt areas, especially around 78628 and the newer subdivisions, push squirrels and birds into residential vent hoods. A bird can build a nest in a week, and then your dryer is pushing against a blocked outlet. Seasonal residents come back from months away to a blocked vent and an overheating dryer.
- Masonry vent routing in historic downtown homes: Homes near the Williamson County Courthouse were built before dryers existed, so vent paths were improvised during renovations. We regularly see vents that cut through brick in awkward ways, and we clean them without drilling new holes or damaging soft red brick from the 1920s.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Georgetown, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Georgetown runs $129 – $189. Single-story ranch homes in Sun City Texas and 78633 usually fall at the lower end, while two-story homes or downtown Georgetown properties with long vent runs or difficult access may run up to $239. Here’s what shapes the price:
- Vent length: longer runs through walls and ceilings take more time and more brush work.
- Accessibility: roof-mounted vents or hoods on upper floors add labor.
- Clog severity: a fully blocked vent, especially one with a bird nest, requires disassembly and heavier vacuuming.
- Repairs: if we find a disconnected joint or crushed duct, we’ll quote the fix on the spot before doing work.

FAQs – Dryer Vent Cleaning in Georgetown
Sun City Texas residents should have their dryer vent cleaned every 12 months, and more often if they run the dryer daily or have a long horizontal vent run. Gas dryers in these single-story ranches produce moist, lint-heavy exhaust in the winter, and since many residents are home all day doing laundry, lint accumulates steadily. If you dry bedding and towels multiple times a week, book a cleaning every fall before the holiday season. Call (877) 274-1247 to schedule a Sun City Texas appointment and get a flat price before we come out.
Clothes taking longer than 45 minutes to dry is the most common warning sign, especially for towels and jeans. You may also notice the dryer running hot to the touch, a burning smell during a cycle, or lint accumulating around the exterior hood. If your 1990s Georgetown ranch has a gas dryer, these signs matter more because a blocked vent can force carbon monoxide back into the laundry room. Call (877) 274-1247 and we’ll inspect the vent with a camera before we clean, so you know exactly what’s clogging it.
Yes. We clean historic downtown Georgetown dryer vents from the interior or exterior access points without cutting into brick or disturbing original mortar. Our techs are trained to work around soft red brick and lime mortar from the early 1900s, and we use brush heads sized to the existing vent rather than forcing a larger tool through. If the vent path is compromised, we’ll show you the camera footage and recommend the least invasive repair. Call (877) 274-1247 and mention your home’s age when you book so we bring the right equipment.
Before leaving a seasonal Georgetown home, get the dryer vent cleaned and have a bird guard installed on the exterior hood. During the months you’re gone, birds and rodents can nest in an unprotected vent, and you’ll return to a blocked exhaust and a dryer that overheats on first use. A bird guard with a secure cage prevents entry, and a final cleaning ensures you leave with a clear vent. Call (877) 274-1247 before you leave Georgetown and we’ll schedule a pre-departure service.
Yes. We service Sun City Texas and all Georgetown ZIP codes, including 78626, 78627, 78628, and 78633. Our techs are in Georgetown weekly, so scheduling is straightforward, and we know the long horizontal vent runs common in Sun City Texas ranch homes. Call (877) 274-1247 with your ZIP code and we’ll give you the next available appointment window.
