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 Cleburne, TX
Air duct cleaning in Cleburne typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What drives the real cost here isn’t the house size alone; it’s the fine bentonite drilling dust from the Barnett Shale that works its way into every local duct system, plus the age and condition of ductwork in this market. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews to Cleburne from our Dallas-Fort Worth office. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate before any work starts.
Why Cleburne Homes Are Different
Cleburne sits on top of the Barnett Shale, and that geology shows up inside your vents. The pale, powdery bentonite dust from decades of drilling activity is the single most common hidden contaminant we find in local ductwork. It coats everything in town, and once it gets pulled into your HVAC system, it behaves differently than ordinary household dust. It clings to metal surfaces, absorbs moisture, and can form a stubborn film that standard vacuuming won’t touch.
The housing stock here tells the rest of the story. Most Cleburne homes are post-war 1950s – 1970s ranches and small bungalows with original galvanized ductwork. Those rigid metal runs are leaky, often buried in blown-in insulation, and magnets for that drilling dust. The 1990s – 2000s subdivisions on the south and east sides use flex-duct systems in attics, which trap debris differently and can collapse if cleaned too aggressively. Near the historic Nolan River bottom and the old Santa Fe depot, some older homes have ducts sitting just above the water table. After a heavy spring rain, condensation mixes with bentonite to form a mud-like coating that only thorough mechanical cleaning removes.
Then there’s the pollen. Cleburne catches some of the highest ragweed and mountain cedar counts in Texas. From May through September, AC systems run almost continuously in the humid North Texas heat, pulling that sticky drilling dust and peak seasonal allergens deep into the system and keeping relative humidity inside ductwork high enough to support mold growth in attics.
Our Main Cleburne Services
Most Cleburne homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details, local pricing, and what to expect on your specific system.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cleburne
We clean the full supply and return duct network, from the main trunk lines to each register, using rotary brush systems from Rotobrush and negative-air machines from Nikro. In Cleburne, we pay special attention to bentonite buildup in galvanized lines and check flex-duct in attic systems for sagging or collapse before we start. Every job gets a written price upfront and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in Cleburne
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cleburne
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and in Cleburne’s older homes with longer vent runs through crawlspaces or attics, airflow restriction is common. We clear the full line from dryer to termination, check for proper backdraft, and verify airflow with a meter. If the vent line is damaged or improperly routed, we note it in writing before any repair work. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cleburne
Duct Sealing in Cleburne
Leaky ducts waste 20 – 30% of conditioned air in a typical Cleburne home, and the rigid galvanized systems in older neighborhoods are especially prone to gaps at joints and seams. We seal accessible ductwork with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test to verify results. In homes with flex-duct, we check for kinks, tears, and poor connections at the plenum.
