Camera Vent Inspection in Boerne, TX
You cannot judge a dryer vent from either end — the problems live in the walls. We run a camera through the duct to document lint load, crushed sections, disconnected joints, and screws poking into the airstream. We trace the route through walls or attic, add up its developed length against the elbow count the way IRC M1502 requires, and measure real airflow at the termination. You get a written pass/fix report with camera stills and, if something needs work, a fixed quote — which you are free to take to any contractor, not just us. Serving Boerne (3 ZIP codes, 20k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.
Camera Vent Inspection in Boerne
A camera vent inspection is a documented look inside the duct you cannot otherwise see. A small camera travels the run and records lint depth, crushed or separated sections, illegal materials like vinyl flex, and fasteners protruding into the airstream. We map the route through the structure, total its developed length against the elbow count, and measure actual airflow at the termination. The output is a written report with camera stills and a clear verdict: the vent passes, or here is exactly what to fix and what it costs. Home buyers, sellers, and anyone inheriting an unknown laundry setup get certainty for less than the cost of a repair guess.
Local dossier · Boerne, TX
Boerne is new construction by Texas standards. The great majority of its homes went up after 2000, on hillside lots where the subdivisions climb out of the Cibolo valley, and newer building usually means rigid metal duct, which is the right material. Hill Country geometry works against it anyway. Steep pitches and standing-seam roofs put a lot of these terminations well off the ground, and a roof cap is the hardest component for a homeowner to check. Ash juniper is the local complication. The cedar that turns these hills yellow every December drops fine debris that mats into damp lint at the outlet, and birds treat a warm vent hood as prime nesting real estate through the spring. Gas service thins out fast past the older streets near the town center, so the overwhelming majority of Boerne dryers are electric. No combustion concern there, but a restricted electric dryer simply runs longer and hotter until something gives.

Common signs in Boerne homes
- You're buying or selling a home and the vent's condition is unknown
- Drying performance dropped and the cause isn't obvious
- The home has had remodeling that may have buried or rerouted the duct
- You've never seen where the dryer exhaust actually exits the house
- A previous 'cleaning' changed nothing and you want evidence
- Your dryer is gas-fired and you want the exhaust path verified

Built to code · Camera Vent Inspection in Boerne
Camera Vent Inspection is held to published national standards no matter the city. Our Boerne crew builds to these and documents the work; the locally-adopted code edition and permit requirements are confirmed with Kendall County's authority on every job.
- IRC M1502 — Dryer exhaust ducts must be smooth-interior rigid metal with joints running in the direction of airflow and no screws or fasteners protruding into the duct where lint can catch — exactly the defects a camera inspection is built to find.
- IRC M1502 — A dryer duct's total developed length is limited — the straight-run allowance shrinks with every elbow — unless the dryer manufacturer's installation manual approves longer; our inspection does that math for your actual route.

Camera Vent Inspection in Boerne — FAQ
Is a camera inspection worth it before buying a home?
Yes — it's one of the cheapest pieces of certainty in the transaction. General home inspectors rarely scope inside the duct, and a buried vinyl-flex run or an attic termination is a real repair cost. For $89 you get camera evidence and a written verdict you can negotiate with.
What does the inspection report include?
Camera stills from inside the duct, the route and materials of your run, measured developed length against the code allowance, an airflow reading at the termination, and a plain pass/fix verdict. If repairs are needed, an itemized fixed quote is attached — usable with us or any contractor you choose.
Our roof is steep standing seam. Can the vent still be serviced?
Yes. On Hill Country roofs we prefer to work the run from the interior with rotating brushes and airflow readings, going up top only when the cap itself needs attention. That keeps foot traffic off metal panels and off steep pitches, which is better for the crew and better for the roof.
Something is nesting in our vent hood. What now?
Common here in spring. A warm, sheltered hood attracts birds, and once nesting material sits in the damper the exhaust has nowhere to go. Removal plus a proper hood with a working damper solves it. Screens and mesh are not the answer, since they catch lint and create the blockage they were meant to prevent.
We are all electric out past the city limits. Does that change anything?
It changes the failure mode. Most Boerne homes outside the older core have no gas service, so there is no combustion byproduct in the exhaust. What remains is heat and time. An electric dryer facing a restricted duct extends the cycle, and the duct holds more heat with every load. Cedar debris at the outlet accelerates it.
