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.

AfterTrusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Aurora Homeowners
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Aurora typically costs $129-$289 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in 60-90 minutes with a written price agreed before any work begins. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Aurora has served this market since 2013, documenting every vent run with before-and-after photos as standard practice. We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, led by Tomas Reyes, and we’ve delivered written-price service to more than 52,000 homes across the metro area.
Aurora’s semi-arid climate and seasonal wind patterns create a specific problem: lint accumulation accelerates in dry conditions, and the fine particulate that escapes a clogged vent recirculates through outdoor air intakes on many newer homes in neighborhoods like Tallyn’s Reach, Murphy Creek, and Southshore. We’ve found that homes built between 2015 and 2022 in these developments often have longer vent runs, sometimes 25-35 feet, with multiple elbows that trap lint at each turn. The result is longer dry cycles, higher utility bills, and measurable fire risk. Our crews use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment with camera inspection to locate blockages precisely, then deliver a photo record showing what was removed. Every job starts with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1, and every job ends with a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (720) 513-5159 to schedule or request a free estimate.
What Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Service Includes
Dryer Vent Inspection
We start with a Dryer Vent Inspection of the full vent run, the metal ductwork that carries exhaust from your dryer to the exterior cap. In Aurora homes, we regularly find partial collapses in flexible transition ducts behind the dryer, improper slopes that allow condensation to pool in winter, and bird nests in capped vents in areas near the High Line Canal and Cherry Creek State Park. Our technician documents the condition with photos, identifies the vent material (rigid metal, semi-rigid, or prohibited foil/plastic), and notes any code violations before presenting a written scope and price. This inspection is included in every service call and becomes part of your permanent job record.
Vent Cleaning
Vent Cleaning is the mechanical removal of lint and debris from the entire exhaust pathway using negative-pressure extraction and rotary brush systems. For Aurora’s longer vent runs common in two-story homes in Saddle Rock Ridge and Tallyn’s Reach, we use Rotobrush equipment with flexible shafts that navigate multiple elbows without damaging the ductwork. The process pulls dislodged material into a sealed containment system rather than blowing it into your laundry room or wall cavity. We measure airflow before and after with an anemometer, a device that records exhaust velocity in feet per minute, and include both readings in your documented photo record. Typical improvement: 40-60% increase in airflow post-service.
Lint Removal
Lint removal addresses the combustible material that accumulates at elbows, transitions, and the exterior termination point. In Aurora, we see heavy accumulation where vents terminate on rooflines or through soffits in homes designed with the dryer centrally located on upper floors. We remove lint from the dryer cabinet interior as well, the cavity behind the drum where residential cleaning cannot reach, using specialized attachments that access these confined spaces. The material we collect is photographed and measured, and you receive images showing the volume removed. This is not cosmetic work; lint is classified as a Class B fire hazard by the National Fire Protection Association, and removal directly reduces ignition risk.
Vent Rerouting
Vent rerouting reconfigures the exhaust pathway when the current run is too long, has too many turns, or terminates in a prohibited location such as an attic or crawl space. Aurora’s building code, adopted from the International Residential Code with local amendments, limits dryer vent runs to 25 feet minus 5 feet for each 90-degree elbow; many existing installations violate this. We design replacement routes using rigid metal duct with proper slope and support, pulling permits through the City of Aurora Building Division when required. Rerouting is quoted as a separate line item with a written price before work begins, and all new work is photographed and included in your job documentation.
Bird Guard Installation
Bird guard installation replaces standard vent caps with screens that prevent nesting while maintaining proper airflow. In Aurora, we install guards specifically rated for Colorado’s climate, with mesh sized to block starlings and house sparrows, the species most likely to nest in vent terminations near open space and greenbelts. The guards we use are designed to be removable for annual cleaning access, a feature missing from many hardware-store versions that become secondary blockages themselves. Installation includes verification that the guard does not restrict airflow below manufacturer specifications, measured and recorded in your job documentation.
Vent Cap Replacement
Vent cap replacement addresses damaged, missing, or improper termination covers that allow pest entry or create backdraft conditions. Aurora’s wind exposure, particularly in exposed developments on the eastern edge of the city, destroys lightweight plastic caps within two to three years. We install metal caps with proper damper mechanisms, the flaps that close when the dryer is not running to prevent cold air infiltration and pest access. Replacement caps are matched to your duct diameter and wall or roof termination type, and the installation is photographed as part of your standard before-and-after record.

Brands We Service for Dryer Vent Cleaning
We’ve serviced and cleaned vent connections for hundreds of Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, and Maytag dryers in Aurora homes, and we stock replacement transition ducts and clamps compatible with these manufacturers’ specifications. Our technicians document the model and serial number of your unit during inspection, which allows us to identify known vent configuration issues, such as the extended-length requirements for certain Samsung stacked units common in condos near the Anschutz Medical Campus.
Whether you have a basic builder-grade dryer in a Stapleton rowhome or a premium Miele heat-pump unit in Cherry Creek Country Club, we service the vent connection, not the appliance itself, and our work is compatible with all makes. If your dryer requires specific vent materials or diameters per manufacturer warranty terms, we note these requirements in your written scope before work begins. For any brand not listed here, we verify specifications during inspection and adjust our approach accordingly.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning Right Now
- Clothes take more than one cycle to dry. This is the most common indicator we hear from Aurora homeowners, and it means exhaust airflow has dropped below the level needed to evacuate moisture. In homes near the Plains Conservation Center with longer vent runs, we often find 50-70% airflow reduction before customers call. Extended dry cycles also accelerate wear on heating elements and drive up Xcel Energy bills measurably.
- The dryer exterior or laundry room feels unusually hot. Heat that should exit through the vent is instead radiating into your home. We’ve documented surface temperatures exceeding 140°F on dryer cabinets with severely blocked vents, a condition that degrades internal components and creates burn risk for anyone touching the unit during operation.
- You smell burning or musty odors during dryer operation. Burning lint has a distinctive acrid smell; mustiness indicates moisture trapped in accumulated debris, common in Aurora’s spring when temperature swings create condensation in partially blocked vents. Either odor warrants immediate inspection, as both signal conditions that precede ignition or mold growth.
- Visible lint accumulates around the exterior vent cap or inside the dryer door seal. Lint escaping the system means the vent cannot carry the volume of material being produced. We frequently find this in homes with multiple pets, where pet hair combines with lint to form dense blockages at the first elbow.
- It’s been more than 12 months since your last professional cleaning. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection and cleaning of residential dryer vents. In Aurora’s dry climate with active wildfire seasons, this maintenance interval is not conservative; it’s a baseline for safety and efficiency.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process - Step by Step
- 1
Arrival and verification. Your technician arrives in a marked CleanRun vehicle, uniformed and identified by name per Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We confirm the scope you were quoted, inspect the dryer location and access, and lay protective coverings before touching any equipment.
- 2
Camera inspection of the full vent run. We insert a flexible borescope camera through the vent pathway to locate blockages, identify duct material and condition, and document the starting state with photographs. You see what we see on a handheld monitor before we quote any work.
- 3
Written price and scope presentation. Based on inspection findings, we present a single written price for the agreed scope, with line items if additional work such as rerouting or cap replacement is recommended. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires this price be delivered and accepted before work begins; no exceptions.
- 4
Mechanical cleaning with documented results. We clean using Rotobrush or Nikro equipment selected for your specific duct configuration, capturing all debris in sealed containment. Airflow is measured before and after with a calibrated anemometer. We photograph the interior of every accessible section after cleaning.

How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Aurora?
A standard dryer vent cleaning for a single-family home in Aurora runs $129-$189 when the vent is accessible, uses rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, and has no more than two elbows. See our Dryer Vent Cleaning cost guide for full pricing details. Homes with roof-terminated vents, runs exceeding 25 feet, or configurations requiring ladder access to second-story terminations typically fall in the $189-$289 range. Vent rerouting, when needed to correct code violations or replace prohibited materials, is quoted separately based on linear feet of new duct and permit requirements; most residential reroutes in Aurora neighborhoods like Hoffman Heights or Aurora Highlands range $350-$650.
Several factors affect where your job falls in these ranges. Roof access requires proper fall protection and typically adds 30-45 minutes to service time. Flexible foil or plastic transition ducts must be replaced with metal per current code, a material cost we itemize in writing. Multiple elbows or sharp turns increase mechanical cleaning time and may require specialized brush configurations. Bird guard or cap replacement adds $45-$125 depending on termination type and guard specification.
To avoid overpaying, reject any quote that cannot be put in writing before work starts, and be cautious of per-vent or per-foot pricing structures that inflate unpredictably. CleanRun’s flat price per system, agreed under Haven Standard Clause 1, means the number you approve is the number you pay. Our free estimate includes the full camera inspection; you owe nothing if you decline the quoted scope. Call (720) 513-5159 for your exact price.

We do not advertise same-day or emergency dispatch for dryer vent cleaning; this is scheduled maintenance, not an urgent response service. If you smell burning or suspect imminent fire hazard, evacuate and call 911, then contact us for inspection once the immediate danger is addressed. For standard scheduling, we typically offer appointments within three to five business days, with flexibility for preferred morning or afternoon windows.
Every dryer vent cleaning is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right, we make it right, documented in writing on every job record. This is not a manager-discretionary policy; it is a contractual commitment under the Haven Standard. If airflow measurements do not meet the improvement we documented, or if blockages recur due to our cleaning methodology within one year, we return at no charge to correct the deficiency.
Clear a path to your dryer and remove items stored on top of or immediately adjacent to the unit. Ensure the dryer is cool from recent use, not hot. If your dryer is in a tight closet or stacked configuration, note this when scheduling so we bring appropriate access equipment. You do not need to move the dryer; our technicians handle repositioning for transition duct inspection. Payment is processed after work completion and your review of the documented photo record.
