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 Keene, TX
Air duct cleaning in Keene typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with dryer vent cleaning at $120 – $220 and duct sealing at $450 – $850 depending on accessibility. Keene’s mix of 1970s ranch homes and newer builds near Southwestern Adventist University means we see two very different duct problems: decades of Hill County pollen and attic insulation packed into rigid metal trunk lines, and poorly sealed flex duct in new construction where installation quality varies. Our crews dispatch from the Dallas-Fort Worth office and serve Keene locally. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Keene Homes Are Different
Keene sits in the heart of the Kolache Belt, where East Texas humidity meets Hill County wind patterns. That combination matters for your ducts. Long cooling seasons mean HVAC systems run eight to nine months a year, pulling oak, cedar, and pecan pollen through return vents. In older neighborhoods near Southwestern Adventist University, we regularly find rigid galvanized ductwork from the 1970s and 1980s buried under blown-in insulation that has degraded and infiltrated the system. The result is a stubborn mix of fiberglass fibers and decades of cedar pollen that standard vacuum attachments won’t clear.
Newer subdivisions expanding around the university bring a different problem. Builder-grade flex duct, often installed quickly and sealed with tape that fails within a few seasons, leaks conditioned air into attics that swing from below freezing to 140 degrees. Those temperature swings harden seals and crack mastic. Unlike nearby Cleburne or Hillsboro, Keene’s small, university-centered footprint means word-of-mouth travels fast. We maintain repeat commercial contracts with dormitories and church facilities here because the standard of work is verifiable by the community.
Our Main Keene Services
Most Keene homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing and process details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Keene
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and negative-air machine from Nikro. In Keene’s older homes, the rotary brush breaks loose packed pollen and insulation fibers from rigid metal walls; in newer builds, we inspect flex duct for collapse or disconnection before agitation. Every job gets before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images. Air Duct Cleaning in Keene covers full pricing and what the visit includes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Keene
Keene’s humidity means lint clumps heavier and sticks to vent walls longer, especially on runs through unconditioned attic space. We pull the full lint column with a high-velocity skipper ball and inspect the exterior termination for proper backdraft damper function. A blocked dryer vent is a genuine fire hazard; we do not recommend DIY brush kits on second-story roof terminations. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Keene has full details and pricing.
Duct Sealing in Keene
We seal accessible supply and return leaks with mastic and mesh reinforcement, then pressure-test the system. Keene’s attic temperature swings are hard on seals, so we use products rated for the expansion and contraction cycles this climate produces. Sealing is often the right follow-up to cleaning in homes where leaks have pulled attic debris into the system for years. Duct Sealing in Keene explains the process and when it makes sense.
