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 Houston, TX
Air duct cleaning in Houston runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs landing between $400 and $550 depending on system size and contamination level. Houston’s subtropical humidity means our crews treat mold and biological growth as standard, not optional, because AC systems here run wet nine to ten months a year. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning dispatches from our Houston office, and we price every job in writing before touching equipment. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Houston Homes Are Different
Most Houston houses sit slab-on-grade, built from the 1970s through the 2000s, with flexible duct runs strung through the attic. That attic is not storage space here. It is a 140-degree oven in July that cools to a dew point in the mid-70s by nightfall, and the ductwork inside it bakes and sweats through every season.
We see the result when we open returns in Memorial, Spring Branch, and the Heights: fiberglass liner that has turned black with mold, mastic seals that have softened and pulled apart from thermal cycling, and dust that is less “household debris” than it is a living substrate. The mild winters do not freeze-dry the system the way they do up north. Biological growth stays active year-round.
After a hurricane or tropical storm passes through, the phone pattern changes. Homeowners in Meyerland, Braeswood, and near Brays Bayou do not ask whether their ducts are dirty. They ask whether water got in. Post-storm duct inspection is a distinct Houston service call. We check for standing water in low runs, saturated insulation, and the mold blooms that follow within 48 hours of flooding.
Our Main Houston Services
These are the three services Houston homeowners call us for most often. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and Houston-specific conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Houston
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air machines that pull loosened debris out of the home entirely. In Houston, this means addressing mold on fiberglass liner, not just dust on metal trunk lines. We inspect every run for water damage and soft duct that has collapsed in the attic heat. Air Duct Cleaning in Houston covers full pricing and what we find in local homes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston
Dryer vents in Houston clog faster than in dry climates because lint absorbs ambient humidity and cakes against duct walls. We run augers and high-velocity air tools through the full vent path, from back of dryer to exterior cap, and check for the sagging flex duct that installers often left in 1990s ranch homes. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston has full details and warning signs to watch for.
Duct Sealing in Houston
Sealing is the fix for the 20 – 30% of conditioned air that leaks from typical Houston ductwork before it reaches rooms. We apply mastic sealant and mechanical fasteners at every joint and penetration, then pressure-test the system to verify the seal holds. In Houston’s attic conditions, sealing also reduces the humid outside air that gets pulled into returns through gaps. Duct Sealing in Houston explains when sealing beats replacement.

What pushes Houston prices toward the high end: dual returns in larger two-story homes, extensive mold on fiberglass liner requiring antimicrobial treatment, and post-storm jobs needing water damage assessment. What keeps them predictable: we write the price before work starts, and that number does not move at the door. No per-vent add-ons, no equipment surcharges.
