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.

We’ve worked enough homes in Evergreen to know the pattern: a dryer that suddenly needs two cycles in January, or a laundry room that smells like smoke every time the wood stove draws hard. The problem usually isn’t the dryer. It’s the vent run - buried under snow at the gable end, chewed open by packrats, or crushed behind a flue thimble in a 1970s cabin that was never built for year-round living. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team documents what we find, fixes what we can, and shows you the difference before we pack up.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Evergreen
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Evergreen job starts with a camera inspection of the full vent run, from the dryer’s transition duct to the exterior termination. In Evergreen’s 1960s-1980s cabins, we regularly find foil flex crushed behind wood-stove flue thimbles, disconnected segments in unheated crawlspaces, and packrat or deer mouse nesting material packed into mid-run elbows. The camera shows it. We show you. Then we write the scope and price before touching a tool. Haven Standard Clause 1: Written Price Before Any Work Starts.
Vent Cleaning
Our cleaning protocol uses agitation tools under negative-pressure extraction - HEPA-filtered source removal, not a shop vac at the lint trap and exterior hood. In Evergreen, this matters more than in lower suburbs. The same freeze-sealed winters that trap wood smoke and pine pollen inside your home also force your dryer to run longer, pushing more lint through a system that may already be partially blocked. We extract the debris, photograph the cleared run, and measure airflow at the blower motor to confirm the dryer is breathing properly again.
Lint Removal
Lint accumulation in Evergreen vents isn’t just the usual fabric fibers. Wildfire smoke particulates from regional fires - the 2020 Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires blanketed this area for weeks - bond with lint in sticky, dense layers that standard brushing won’t dislodge. We use professional-grade agitation from Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to break these deposits free, then extract them under controlled negative pressure. The photo record shows the difference between surface cleaning and actual source removal.
Vent Rerouting
Evergreen’s original cabin dryer vents often terminate at the gable end or soffit - a sensible adaptation to 100-plus inches of annual snow and chronic ice-dam risk from roof penetrations. But these terminations get buried in drifts, clogged with pine needles, and targeted by rodents seeking the warmest exterior wall. We reroute vents to above-snow-line terminations with proper clearances, replace crushed flex with rigid galvanized pipe where code allows, and seal penetrations to prevent re-entry. Every reroute includes a new bird guard and a written airflow test result.
Vent Cap Replacement
Standard louvered caps in Evergreen fail predictably: packed with pine debris, frozen shut by melt-refreeze cycles, or chewed open by rodents. We stock replacement caps designed for mountain conditions - larger mesh to shed needles without restricting airflow, robust hinges that won’t ice-weld, and mounting hardware that survives freeze-thaw. Installed with a written price before work starts, photographed after.
Bird Guard Installation
Evergreen’s conifer forest supports dense bird populations, and uncapped vents invite nesting material that blocks airflow and creates immediate fire risk. Our bird guards are stainless mesh, properly sized to the vent diameter, and installed with tamper-resistant fasteners. Part of a standard cap replacement or added to an existing termination.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Evergreen
CleanRun technicians work with professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire - brands customers can research independently before agreeing to a price. We stock common vent caps, transition ducts, and termination hardware for Evergreen’s mountain-specific conditions, so most replacements happen same-visit without ordering delays. Our Nikro camera reels and Rotobrush agitation systems are maintained to manufacturer specification, not pushed past service intervals. Equipment matters because documentation depends on it: a blurry camera image or weak vacuum won’t produce the photo record we promise on every job.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Evergreen Homes
- Snow-buried gable terminations. Evergreen’s roof-penetration taboo means most vents exit through vertical walls or soffits - and those terminations sit at heights that get buried under winter snowpack. The homeowner runs the dryer for weeks with no outward airflow, lint backs up the entire run, and the first sign of trouble is a dryer that won’t dry or a laundry room that smells like burning.
- Crushed foil flex behind wood-stove flue thimbles. In converted 1970s vacation cabins, the dryer vent and wood-stove flue often share wall cavities with no plan for clearance. Our camera regularly finds foil flex flattened to a slit where it passes behind a thimble, creating a dead zone where lint accumulates for years and the fire risk compounds.
- Rodent-contaminated mid-run sections. At 7,000 feet, packrats and deer mice push into warm mechanical spaces every fall. The compromised flex connections common in converted vacation homes give them easy access to dryer vent runs. We find nesting material, droppings, and chewed duct sections that partial cleaning misses entirely - and that carry hantavirus risk until properly contained and removed under HEPA filtration.
- Disconnected segments in unheated crawlspaces. Evergreen’s ad-hoc cabin conversions often route dryer vents through crawlspaces that drop below freezing for months. Tape fails, joints separate, and the dryer blows lint into the crawlspace while the homeowner notices only slower dry times and higher electric bills.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Evergreen, CO
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Evergreen runs $180-$240 for a single-family home with accessible termination and intact ductwork. Vent rerouting or cap replacement adds $120-$280 depending on exterior height, materials, and whether we need to run rigid pipe through finished wall cavities. Multi-run homes or properties with rodent contamination requiring containment and HEPA extraction typically fall in the $320-$420 range.
What moves the price: termination height and access (ladder work above snow line costs more than ground-level replacement), duct material (replacing crushed foil flex with rigid pipe takes longer but performs better), and contamination severity (rodent nests require containment protocols that standard lint removal doesn’t). We inspect with the camera first, write the full scope and price, and get your signature before starting work. Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Evergreen
Most Evergreen homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12-18 months, though homes with heavy wood-stove use, multiple pets, or frequent wildfire smoke exposure may need service annually. The pine pollen and fine ash particles at 7,000 feet bond with lint in denser layers than lower-elevation homes produce. Call (720) 315-7291 and we’ll inspect the run with our camera to tell you where yours stands - estimates are free.
In Evergreen, winter dry-time problems usually trace to a termination buried under snowpack or a vent cap frozen shut by melt-refreeze cycles - both block outward airflow and force the dryer to recirculate moist air. Less commonly, a crushed or rodent-chewed mid-run section creates back-pressure that the blower motor can’t overcome. Our camera inspection locates the exact restriction; the fix is usually cap replacement, rerouting above the snow line, or replacing damaged flex with rigid pipe. Call (720) 315-7291 for a camera inspection and written scope.
Our technician arrives in a marked CleanRun vehicle, identified by name, and begins with a camera inspection of the full vent run from dryer to termination. You’ll see the footage on a handheld monitor as we find it - crushed flex, lint buildup, rodent damage, whatever’s there. We write the scope and price; you approve it in writing. Then we contain the work area, extract debris under HEPA-filtered negative pressure, repair or replace damaged sections, install new caps or bird guards as needed, and test airflow at the blower motor. You receive before-and-after photos and a written job record by email that evening. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies in writing.
Yes, regularly. At 7,000 feet in a dense conifer forest, packrats and deer mice push into warm mechanical spaces every fall, and the aging flex connections in Evergreen’s converted vacation cabins give them easy access. We find nesting material, droppings, and chewed duct sections that partial cleaning misses - contamination that carries hantavirus risk until properly contained and removed under HEPA filtration. Our protocol includes full PPE, sealed waste disposal, and documentation of what was found and removed. Call (720) 315-7291 if you suspect rodent activity - we don’t recommend inspecting this yourself.
It changes the inspection and often the repair. Gable and soffit terminations in Evergreen are standard because roof penetrations at this elevation leak chronically from ice dams, but these terminations sit at heights that get buried in snowdrifts, packed with pine needles, and targeted by rodents seeking the warmest exterior wall. We inspect with the camera regardless of termination type, but gable exits more often need cap replacement, bird guard installation, or rerouting above the snow line. The cleaning protocol - agitation under negative-pressure extraction - remains the same. Call (720) 315-7291 and we’ll assess your specific termination.
