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 Westminster
Dryer vent cleaning in Westminster typically costs $180-$340 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in 90 minutes to two hours. We serve Westminster from our Denver office, with crews running scheduled appointments throughout the city six days a week. Call (720) 315-7291 for a written price before any work starts.
We’ve worked in Westminster homes since 2013, and the pattern is consistent: the 1978-1998 tract homes that dominate this market have dryer vent systems that are now 30-40 years old, built with materials rated for 25-30 years. The fiberglass duct board and flex-duct runs installed during the original build-out are actively failing. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team documents every run with before-and-after photos, so Westminster homeowners see exactly what was in their walls.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Littleton Is Westminster’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Westminster homeowners research before they call. We built our process around that.
Every job starts with a written price delivered before any panel comes off, per Haven Standard Clause 1. No “call for a quote.” No $79 coupon that balloons to $400 once the van is in your driveway. The price we write is the price you pay.
Our documented photo record is included on every visit. Inside every duct run, before and after. In Westminster specifically, these photos often show gray-black ash caked to duct walls from past wildfire seasons, or delaminating fiberglass duct board shedding fibers into the lint pathway. Homeowners in the Walnut Creek and Standley Lake neighborhoods have used these photos to document insurance claims and home sale disclosures.
Technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival, per Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes, who leads CleanRun, reviews every Westminster job record personally.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Westminster
Dryer Vent Inspection
We start with a camera inspection of the full dryer vent run, from the back of the appliance to the exterior hood. In Westminster’s 1980s-1990s tract homes, we regularly find crushed or disconnected flex-duct in unconditioned crawlspaces, sagging low spots trapping lint, and delaminating fiberglass duct board shedding fibers into the air stream. The inspection produces a documented photo record and a written scope with exact pricing before any cleaning begins.
Vent Cleaning
Our vent cleaning uses agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction, a process that loosens debris and pulls it out under controlled suction. Westminster’s semi-arid climate drops relative humidity to 15-25%, which increases static charge inside ductwork. Fine particulates, including wildfire ash and prairie dust, cling electrostatically to duct walls rather than falling to the exterior vent. Standard brushing often fails here. We use professional-grade equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies to break that static bond and remove the material completely.
Lint Removal
Lint accumulation is the visible problem, but in Westminster it’s rarely just lint. The camera shows a mix of dryer lint, prairie dust from eastern plains upslope winds, and gray-black wildfire ash from foothills smoke events. In the Standley Lake area, we’ve pulled material from vent runs that homeowners assumed were clean because they kept windows closed during smoke season. Their HVAC return systems were pulling smoke-laden air through leaky duct connections the entire time.
Vent Rerouting
Some Westminster homes have dryer vent runs that were poorly routed from the factory, with excessive elbows, overly long horizontal spans, or terminations in unconditioned spaces that promote condensation and lint adhesion. We reroute to code-compliant configurations using proper materials. This is particularly common in the ranch and two-story homes built during Westminster’s rapid 1978-1998 expansion, where builders prioritized speed over proper vent design.
Vent Cap Replacement
Original vent caps on Westminster homes from this era are often damaged, missing louvers, or designed without proper backdraft prevention. We install code-compliant replacement caps with bird guard integration where needed. This is a standard part of our service in Westminster, not an upsell.
Bird Guard Installation
Westminster’s mix of open space and mature landscaping attracts birds to vent terminations. Bird guards prevent nesting without restricting airflow. We size and install guards matched to the specific vent cap and local code requirements.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Westminster Homes
- Crushed flex-duct in crawlspaces. The unconditioned crawlspaces of 1980s-1990s Westminster tract homes often contain flex-duct runs that have been crushed by storage items, pest activity, or decades of settling. Lint bypasses the exterior vent cap and accumulates in the run, creating a fire hazard the homeowner never sees until the camera goes in.
- Delaminating fiberglass duct board. Original Westminster ductwork was built with fiberglass duct board rated for 25-30 years. That material is now visibly delaminating in many systems, shedding glass fibers that mix with lint in the dryer vent pathway. Standard vent cleaning without encapsulation leaves the shedding source untouched.
- Static-charged ash and dust adhesion. Westminster’s low humidity increases static charge inside duct runs. Fine ash from past wildfire seasons, particularly the 2021 Marshall Fire corridor, clings electrostatically to duct walls rather than being captured by filters or falling to the exterior vent. Agitation tools and negative pressure are required for full removal.
- Sagged flex-duct with low spots. In western Westminster developments near Standley Lake, complex flex-duct runs frequently develop sags and gaps at connections. These low spots trap lint and bypass filters entirely, reducing airflow and extending dryer cycle times while the appliance works harder against the restriction.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westminster
Westminster sits at a geographic pinch point where prairie dust blows in from the eastern plains and wildfire smoke funnels down from the foothills, loading duct systems with a double particulate source that cities just 10 miles in either direction don’t face equally. Combined with 30-40-year-old fiberglass duct board actively shedding fibers, Westminster dryer vents accumulate debris faster than systems in more sheltered Denver neighborhoods. Call (720) 315-7291 for an inspection and written quote.
In most cases, yes. We access the vent from the exterior hood and the dryer connection point, using flexible agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction that navigate the full run without wall intrusion. If the camera reveals a crushed or disconnected section in the crawlspace, we repair through the crawlspace access, not through finished walls. The inspection determines the approach, and both options are priced in writing before work starts.
Warning signs include clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer running hotter than usual, lint collecting behind the dryer, or a musty smell in the laundry area. But these symptoms can also indicate simple lint buildup. The only way to confirm a crushed or disconnected run is a camera inspection of the full duct. We include this inspection in our standard service, with photos showing you exactly what is in the run.
Yes. Original vent caps on Westminster homes from this era are frequently damaged or missing proper backdraft prevention. We install code-compliant replacement caps with integrated bird guards sized to your specific vent configuration. This is standard service, not an upsell, and is priced in the written scope before work begins.
We use professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Abatement Technologies, and Honeywell, tools customers can research independently before agreeing to a price. Agitation tools break the static bond that holds fine ash and lint to duct walls in Westminster’s low-humidity climate, while negative-pressure extraction captures the debris under controlled suction rather than blowing it into the home. The specific tools used on your job are noted in your documented photo record.
