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 Alvarado, TX
Air duct cleaning in Alvarado typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What sets Alvarado apart from other Johnson County homes is the combination of 1980s – 2000s flexible ductwork, heavy summer HVAC loads, and the fine silica particulate that drifts in from Barnett Shale activity. We dispatch crews from our Dallas-Fort Worth office and serve Alvarado homes with the same Rotobrush and Nikro equipment we use on commercial jobs. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Alvarado Homes Are Different
Alvarado sits at the southern edge of the Barnett Shale, and during active drilling periods, homeowners here deal with a problem you won’t find in Burleson or Cleburne: a thin, grayish film of fine silica and drilling-related dust that coats registers and settles deep into ductwork. Ordinary household dusting won’t touch it. We’ve found this particulate is stickier and more abrasive than typical pollen or soil dust, which means it clings to flexible duct walls and builds up at low points where sagging already occurs.
The housing stock reinforces the problem. Many Alvarado homes went up during the 1980s through the early 2000s with flexible ductwork that kinks easily and sags over time. Those low spots become collection points for debris. Then Alvarado’s climate finishes the job: May through September, systems run almost constantly in heat and humidity that pull in pollen, mold spores, and dust. Even the mild winters matter, because heating cycles dry out and crack older duct seals, pulling attic air into the system. It’s a specific set of conditions, and we’ve adjusted our methods to match them.
Our Main Alvarado Services
Most Alvarado homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Alvarado
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and, when needed, a Nikro negative-air machine to pull loosened debris out of the home entirely. In Alvarado, we pay particular attention to flexible duct low points where Barnett Shale dust and normal household debris collect together into dense mats. The job includes all registers, the main trunk, and a post-cleaning walkthrough with the homeowner. Air Duct Cleaning in Alvarado has full pricing and scheduling details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alvarado
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and Alvarado’s older ranch-style homes often have longer vent runs through attics or crawl spaces that are harder to access and clean thoroughly. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear the full line from the dryer to the exterior cap, then verify airflow with a meter. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alvarado covers what the job includes and when to schedule it.
Duct Sealing in Alvarado
Cracked seals and gaps at joints pull unconditioned attic air into your system, which in Alvarado means 140-degree attic air in summer and dusty, humid air year-round. We apply duct sealing mastic and, where appropriate, mechanical fasteners to close leaks at joints, plenums, and register boots. The goal is measured airflow improvement, not guesswork. Duct Sealing in Alvarado explains how we test before and after.

Yes. The fine silica particulate from gas well activity is smaller and more abrasive than typical household dust. It embeds in flexible duct walls and resists standard vacuuming. We use rotary brush agitation at slower speeds with higher suction to dislodge it without damaging older ductwork, then pull it out with negative-air collection rather than blowing it back into your home.
