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 Austin, TX
Air duct cleaning in Austin runs $300 – $600 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days. Austin’s explosive growth has stacked brand-new high-density construction directly beside 1950s bungalows, and the region’s heavy spring oak pollen plus caliche-dust from constant excavation means duct systems here collect a uniquely gritty, pollen-heavy load. Because Austin’s mild winters and brutal summers keep HVAC running nearly year-round, there’s no real ‘off-season’ for duct cleaning the way there is in colder markets. We dispatch and schedule from our Austin office; crews serve Austin locally. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Austin Homes Are Different
Central Austin neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Travis Heights, Rosedale, and Cherrywood are dominated by 1920s-1950s pier-and-beam bungalows with original or retrofitted ductwork. These older homes pull in decades of cedar and oak pollen through leaky returns, and the duct runs were often sized for smaller, less efficient systems. Meanwhile, the suburbs, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and Kyle, are full of 1990s-2000s tract homes and brand-new builds where flex-duct runs are often poorly sealed and stuffed with construction dust.
Austin sits in a humid-subtropical-to-semi-arid transition zone. Long, hot, humid summers from June through September keep AC running almost continuously. The late-winter and early-spring ‘cedar fever’ season dumps mountain cedar and oak pollen into return ducts. The region’s caliche soil throws fine alkaline dust into outdoor intakes. In the limestone-and-caliche hills west of town, Westlake and Bee Cave, new homes often have long, undersized flex-duct runs in unconditioned attics. When summer attic temperatures hit 130-140°F, that flex duct sweats, degrades, and pulls caliche dust into the supply, a failure pattern you won’t see in Houston’s flat, humid, different-soil market.
New-build ducts are packed with drywall and construction debris, while older central-Austin homes need careful handling to avoid damaging fragile, aging connections. The work here requires different equipment and different expectations depending on which side of the growth line the house sits.
Our Main Austin Services
These are the three services Austin homeowners call us about most. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and Austin-specific conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Austin
We clean the full supply and return duct network using a rotary brush system from Rotobrush or negative-air method with Nikro equipment, depending on duct material and contamination level. In Austin, we regularly find construction debris in new-build flex duct and packed pollen layers in older homes near Zilker and Clarksville. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Austin covers full pricing and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a genuine fire hazard, and Austin’s hard-water minerals and caliche dust can accelerate corrosion in exterior vent caps. We run a rotary brush and high-velocity vacuum through the full vent run, not just the accessible portion. In homes with long vertical runs, common in newer three-story builds near the Domain, we check airflow with a manometer to confirm the exhaust is actually moving. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin has full details.
Duct Sealing in Austin
Leaky ducts waste 20-30% of conditioned air in most Austin homes, and in older central-Austin houses with pier-and-beam foundations, gaps at plenum connections are nearly universal. We seal accessible ductwork with mastic and metal-backed tape, then pressure-test to verify results. In new suburbs, poorly sealed flex-duct connections at the trunk line are the usual culprit. Duct Sealing in Austin explains the process and pricing.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Austin

Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll check your specific situation.
March through May is our busiest period because cedar and oak pollen loads peak. We recommend booking 2-3 weeks ahead during cedar fever season; June through February typically has more flexible scheduling. The work itself takes the same time regardless of season.
