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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in West Lake Hills, TX
Air duct cleaning in West Lake Hills runs about $350 – $650 for a typical whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to West Lake Hills from our Dallas-Fort Worth coordination office. The work here is different from Austin proper because almost every home backs onto live oak greenbelt or canyon land, meaning the debris in your ducts is pollen and mold spores, not ordinary household dust. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why West Lake Hills Homes Are Different
West Lake Hills sits in the Hill Country, and that terrain changes everything about what we pull out of your ducts. The 1970s – 2000s custom limestone and stucco homes here, mostly on pier-and-beam or slab, were built with multiple HVAC zones and flex duct running through unconditioned attics. Those attic runs hit 140°F+ in July and August, baking any organic material that lands inside.
The live oak canopy surrounding these homes is the real culprit. After spring rains, pollen coats roofs and gets pulled into outdoor condenser units, then cycled through return ducts as a fine yellow film homeowners often mistake for construction dust. It is not. It is pollen that has been through your system multiple times and bonded to the duct walls. A filter change will not remove it. Full negative-air duct cleaning will.
Because so much of West Lake Hills is protected greenbelt, there is no buffer between your intake and dense oak forest. Humidity stays high, condensation collects in attic flex duct, and Aspergillus mold spores germinate faster than in drier markets. We see this pattern repeatedly in homes off Redbud Trail and in the canyon neighborhoods west of Bee Cave Road.
Our Main West Lake Hills Services
West Lake Hills homeowners call us for three jobs, each with its own page and pricing below.
Air Duct Cleaning in West Lake Hills
We clean the full supply and return network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for agitation and a Nikro negative-air machine for containment. In West Lake Hills, the priority is removing oak pollen and mold spores from attic flex duct and original sheet-metal trunk lines. We also inspect for undersized returns common in remodeled homes where square footage was added without upgrading the ductwork. Air Duct Cleaning in West Lake Hills
Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Lake Hills
Dryer vent cleaning here addresses lint buildup compounded by high humidity that clogs exhaust runs faster than in drier climates. We run a rotary brush through the full vent line to the exterior cap, measure airflow before and after, and check for bird nesting common in homes with canyon-facing laundry rooms.

Duct Sealing in West Lake Hills
Duct sealing with mastic and metal-backed tape closes leaks in trunk lines and flex duct connections that bleed conditioned air into 140°F attics. In West Lake Hills, we often find leaks at the junction between original sheet metal and newer flex runs added during remodels. Sealing these drops energy bills and reduces the pollen infiltration that enters through pressure imbalances. Duct Sealing in West Lake Hills
