Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Pflugerville
Dryer vent cleaning in Pflugerville typically runs $129 – $189 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are finished in under 90 minutes. We work throughout 78660 and 78691 weekly, from the Blackhawk and Falcon Pointe subdivisions to the older frame homes near downtown. If your dryer is taking two cycles to finish a load or the laundry room feels hotter than it should, call us at (877) 274-1247. Boardwalk Chimney Sweep is led by Brent Holloway, and our crew has spent enough time in Pflugerville to know exactly what hides inside these builder-installed dryer runs.
Why Boardwalk Chimney Sweep Is Pflugerville’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
The short version: we’re a full-service operation that handles dryer vents the same way we handle chimneys, with cameras, brand-name replacement parts, and documentation before and after. Pflugerville homeowners call us because the dryer vent work here is often not what it appears to be at either end. The builder ran foil-flex duct through a tight chase behind the utility room wall, kinked it around a corner in Blackhawk, and moved on. The exterior wall cap looks fine. The appliance end looks fine. The middle is where the lint packed in, and that’s the part you can’t see without a camera. We run one on every dryer vent cleaning, whether we’re in Falcon Pointe, Highland Park, or the 78660 side near Windermere Elementary.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team brings the same camera-evidence standard to every job. Before we recommend replacing a duct, rescreening a wall cap, or rerouting a run, you see the footage. That’s the difference between a service call and an upsell, and it’s a big part of why Pflugerville keeps us on speed dial. We also show up with Copperfield and Gelco caps and termination components on the truck, so when a Central Texas hail storm tears up a builder-grade exterior cap, we replace it with something that lasts instead of another plastic screen that’ll crack in two years.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Pflugerville
Dryer Vent Cleaning
We clean the full run, from the dryer’s connection point to the exterior termination, using rotary brushes and high-suction equipment sized for the foil-flex and semi-rigid duct common in Pflugerville’s 1990s – 2010s builds. In homes along Weiss Lane and Pecan Street, we routinely pull out lint compaction that’s been building since move-in. After cleaning, we verify airflow at the wall cap and show you a photo of what came out. Most Pflugerville jobs take about an hour to ninety minutes.
Level 2 Camera Inspection of the Dryer Run
This is the service that catches what a basic sweep can’t. A camera snake goes through the entire duct path, documenting every kink, sag, crushed elbow, and lint shelf. In Pflugerville, where builders routinely tucked dryers into interior utility closets with long, convoluted foil-flex runs, the camera is not a luxury. It’s how we find the sagging section behind the garage wall that’s been loading up lint for a decade. You see the video, we walk through what it shows, and then you decide what’s worth fixing now.
Dryer Vent Replacement
When the existing duct is crushed, separated at a joint, or made of foil-flex that’s torn and pinched beyond cleaning, we replace it. In Pflugerville we typically see this in two situations: foil-flex runs behind tight utility closets where the builder made sharp turns around framing, and old 4-inch duct that’s rusted through in unconditioned garage runs. We install semi-rigid or rigid metal duct where the code and the path allow, and we replace the run, not just the visible ends. If a reroute is needed to eliminate an unnecessary bend, we’ll explain it and show you the layout before we cut anything.
Dryer Wall Cap Replacement
Builder-grade dryer wall caps in Pflugerville take a beating. Hail from spring storms cracks the plastic housing, birds nest behind the flapper, and the whole assembly gets painted over by the home’s second or third owner until it barely opens. We replace these with Copperfield or Gelco wall caps that seat properly, screen out pests, and open fully under normal dryer pressure. It’s a small part that has an outsized effect on drying time and lint buildup.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pflugerville
When we replace components on a Pflugerville dryer vent, we use the same brands the trade specifies: Copperfield wall caps and terminations, Gelco screens and vent hoods, and HeatShield and DuraFlex materials for the chimney side of the work we bundle with dryer vent cleaning. We stock common Copperfield and Gelco parts on the truck specifically because Pflugerville’s hail and summer storm pattern means cracked and screened-over exterior caps are a regular find. If your dryer vent exits through the same chase as a builder fireplace flue, our Pflugerville scheduling lets us address both in one visit, one call, two fire hazards handled.

AfterCommon Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Pflugerville Homes
- Foil-flex duct crushed behind the appliance. The builder put the dryer in a closet off the garage or kitchen, pushed it in, and the accordion duct collapsed against the wall. Airflow drops, lint packs in, and the vent looks fine at both ends because the blockage is in the middle. We find this constantly in Blackhawk and Highland Park homes where the dryer has never been pulled out since closing day.
- Builder-grade exterior wall caps cracked or blocked after hailstorms. Central Texas hail and summer winds tear up plastic caps, birds push through gaps, and the whole assembly corrodes. The homeowner blames the dryer for longer cycles. It’s the cap and the hidden duct path behind it.
- Dryer ducts terminating into or crowding a shared flue chase in older 78660 homes. The small-frame houses near downtown Pflugerville were built when dryers vented differently, and we’ve seen dryer exhaust pushed into a chase never designed for lint and moisture load. That’s a fire hazard and a moisture problem at once.
- Never-cleaned ducts in never-fired builder chimney homes. Pflugerville has a lot of houses where the prefab fireplace was never lit and the dryer vent was never cleaned. The lint load from fifteen years of laundry is exactly what a camera inspection catches before it becomes a fire or a two-hour dry cycle.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pflugerville, TX
A standard dryer vent cleaning for a single-family Pflugerville home runs $129 – $189, depending on the length of the run and how accessible the exterior wall cap is. If you add a Level 2 camera inspection, budget $79 – $99 on top. Wall cap replacement typically runs $65 – $145 installed, depending on whether we’re swapping a simple Copperfield hood or dealing with a recessed box and damaged siding around the penetration. On the 78660 side, older homes sometimes need a duct replacement instead of a cleaning; a full semi-rigid replacement for a typical one-story run runs $225 – $350. We quote a fixed price before we start, and every estimate is free. Call (877) 274-1247 and we’ll give you a number over the phone.

FAQs – Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pflugerville
For most Pflugerville homes built in the 2000s with a standard foil-flex builder duct, one cleaning plus a camera check is enough to get you current, but it comes down to what the camera shows. If the run is crushed behind the appliance or sagging in an attic chase, cleaning alone won’t fix airflow long-term, and the lint will pack right back in. That’s the situation where a replacement is the actual fix, and it’s common in Highland Park and Blackhawk homes with interior utility closets. Call (877) 274-1247 for an exact quote after we see the run.
Yes, and that’s how most Pflugerville customers find us in the first place. You schedule a Level 1 inspection on a prefab fireplace that’s never been fired, and we add the dryer vent cleaning to the same appointment window. One trip, two fire hazards looked at, and the dryer side is usually the one that’s actually been accumulating lint since move-in. Brent Holloway’s team does both without subcontracting, so you’re not juggling two companies for one house.
Because you’ll see the footage before anyone recommends anything. We run a camera through your existing duct, show you the crushed elbow, the sagging section packed with lint, or the separated joint, and then we tell you whether a cleaning is enough or a replacement makes sense. There’s no recommendation without camera evidence you can see for yourself. That’s the standard, for every Pflugerville job.
Foil-flex duct crushed behind the dryer in a tight utility closet or garage corner, with a long, kinked run the builder installed and nobody has touched since. The vent looks fine at both ends, and the blockage hides in the middle. We see it in Falcon Pointe, Blackhawk, and Highland Park regularly, and it’s exactly the kind of thing that causes a dryer to run twice as long and a lint fire to brew. The fix is a rerouted, straight metal run with proper support.
Because the cold snap exposed a vent that was already restricted, or the freeze itself damaged something at the exterior termination. In Pflugerville, the February 2021 deep freeze cracked plastic wall caps, pushed moisture into duct joints, and left several of our customers with a duct that froze, split, and then collected lint against the tear. When the next hard freeze hits, the people who haven’t had the vent looked at since the last cold snap are the ones calling us with a dryer that won’t finish a load. If that’s you, call (877) 274-1247 and we’ll get a camera through it before you run another cycle.
