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 Schertz Is Selma’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve served Selma homeowners since 2013, and our crew has documented photo records from over 1,200 dryer vent jobs in Bexar County’s northeast corridor. Selma customers rate us consistently for one reason: we show what we found. Every job ends with before-and-after photos of the actual duct run, delivered as a standard record, not an upsell.
Our response time to Selma averages same-day or next-day scheduling because crews are already working the Schertz-Cibolo corridor. We know which Selma subdivisions were built by which national builders, which means we know where the flex duct was strung too tight, where the elbows were crushed during final trim, and where the vent caps were installed without bird guards. That local pattern recognition saves time on your job.
Every technician is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes, our owner, reviews every documented photo record before it goes to the customer. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Selma job in writing, not as a verbal afterthought.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Selma
Dryer Vent Inspection
A proper inspection in Selma starts with what we already know: your neighborhood’s construction wave. Houses built in the 2006-2010 cluster near Retama Springs typically have 4-inch flex duct runs with a single 90-degree elbow behind the unit, often compressed against the wall during appliance installation. Our inspection runs a camera through the full length of the vent, photographs every joint and elbow, and measures airflow in cubic feet per minute before and after. We document sagging points, lint accumulation depth, and any construction debris still present from the original build. The written scope and photo record become your job file - part of the standard deliverable, not an extra.
Vent Cleaning
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning crews use Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro negative-pressure extraction systems to break up packed lint pathways without damaging the flex duct liner. In Selma’s post-2000 housing stock, we regularly find construction drywall dust hardened into the first elbow, mixed with years of lint compression. The cleaning process removes this debris dam, restores designed airflow, and reduces dry time. We photograph every stage. If the flex duct has degraded beyond cleaning, we note it in writing with replacement options before proceeding.
Lint Removal
Lint removal in Selma is rarely a simple vacuum job. The mountain cedar pollen corridor loads attic and wall chase spaces with fine particulate that mixes with lint into a dense, layered buildup. Our crews use mechanical agitation to break this material loose, then extract it under controlled negative pressure so nothing escapes into your laundry room or attic. A homeowner in the Dove Woods area off Cibolo Valley Drive called us about a dryer that needed two cycles to finish a load; our tech pulled the run apart and found a compressed 4-inch flex duct with a crushed elbow behind the unit, packed with construction drywall dust and lint that had never been cleared since the house was built. We ran a camera inspection, used agitation tools to break up the packed lint pathway, replaced the kinked section with rigid pipe and new clamps, and added a Guardsman vent cap - dry time dropped back to a single cycle.
Vent Rerouting
Some Selma homes were built with dryer runs that are too long, have too many elbows, or terminate in problematic locations - through the roof in a cedar-pollen zone, or into a garage space. Rerouting replaces the inefficient path with rigid metal ducting and proper slope, reducing fire risk and improving efficiency. We quote rerouting as a separate scope with a written price, not as a mid-job discovery.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Selma
CleanRun crews carry Guardsman vent caps and Rotobrush agitation heads on every Selma truck, with Nikro extraction systems for negative-pressure cleaning. We stock rigid pipe, clamps, and transition fittings sized for the builder-grade flex duct common in Selma’s 2000s-era subdivisions. Parts availability means most repairs finish in one visit. Equipment specs are published so you can verify manufacturer ratings independently - no performance claims beyond what Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman document themselves.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Construction debris still in the run from original build. Selma’s subdivisions went up fast, and drywall dust, wood scraps, and packing material often remain in dryer vents for 15+ years. Owners assume a new house means clean ducts. The camera usually proves otherwise.
- Crushed or kinked flex duct behind the unit. Builders left flex runs poorly supported and pinched behind the dryer, so lint builds up at the low point and airflow never recovers. We find this in nearly every pre-2010 Selma home we inspect.
- Cedar pollen and attic dust loading wall chases. A dryer run that exits through a long attic or wall chase picks up the same Ashe juniper pollen that loads supply and return ducts each December through February. Owners only notice when the load stops drying.
- Identical failure patterns across whole streets. Because Selma’s subdivisions were built in tight 2-4 year construction waves, whole streets share identical builder-grade flex duct layouts - so when one neighbor calls about a lint-choked dryer run, we already know the same sagging mid-span and debris-dam failure points exist on the rest of the block.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Yes, and likely more than you expect. Houses from Selma’s 2006-2010 construction wave were often finished with drywall dust and construction debris still in the dryer run, and the flex duct was frequently pinched behind the unit during appliance installation. After 15+ years of lint accumulation on top of that original debris, airflow is typically reduced by 40-60 percent even if the dryer still functions. Call (830) 402-5110 for a camera inspection - we’ll show you exactly what’s in there.
Selma’s tight construction waves mean our crews can pre-diagnose likely failure points from the neighborhood’s build year and builder. The flex duct layouts repeat across entire blocks, so we arrive knowing where the sag points and crushed elbows typically form. That pattern recognition doesn’t cut corners - it focuses the inspection so we spend more time documenting your specific run and less time guessing where to look.
Not directly, but the same conditions affect both systems. Cedar pollen loading, attic dust infiltration, and degraded flex duct are common to Selma’s entire HVAC and dryer vent infrastructure. If your dryer vent is choked with pollen-lint mix, your supply and return ducts likely carry similar loading. We note this in our written scope when we see it, with photo documentation.
A full camera run of the duct from dryer connection to exterior termination, airflow measurement in CFM, photographs of every joint and elbow, and a written scope noting lint depth, construction debris presence, flex duct condition, and recommended cleaning or repair. The photo record and written report are standard deliverables on every inspection - Haven Standard Clause 2: Documented Work.
For Selma’s post-2000 housing stock with original flex duct, every 12-18 months if you dry 4+ loads weekly. The combination of construction debris legacy, cedar pollen loading, and thermal-stressed flex duct accelerates buildup compared to markets with older rigid-pipe infrastructure. Homes with multiple pets or fabric-heavy laundry may need annual service. Call (830) 402-5110 and we’ll put you on a schedule with reminder calls - no subscription, no pressure.
