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 La Marque, TX
Air duct cleaning in La Marque typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What sets this market apart is the industrial corridor upwind: fine particulate from the Texas City refinery complex settles into return ducts and blower compartments, creating a grey-black film that standard vacuuming won’t touch. We dispatch crews from our Houston office and serve La Marque homes with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air equipment, pricing every job in writing before we start. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Our Main La Marque Services
La Marque homeowners call us for three jobs, each shaped by the local climate, housing stock, and industrial air quality conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in La Marque
We clean supply and return ducts with a rotary brush system that knocks debris loose, followed by negative-air extraction that pulls it out of the house. In La Marque, we pay special attention to return plenums and blower wheels, where refinery particulate concentrates into a stubborn film. Older ranch homes near the industrial corridor often need more time on the returns. Air Duct Cleaning in La Marque
Dryer Vent Cleaning in La Marque
Gulf Coast humidity means lint clumps and sticks inside vent lines instead of blowing through cleanly. We run a rotary brush and high-velocity air through the full length of the vent, then check the exterior cap for proper airflow. In La Marque’s older homes, we often find vinyl or foil transition ducts behind the dryer that have sagged and trapped moisture; we flag these for replacement during the visit.

Duct Sealing in La Marque
Original galvanized sheet-metal ductwork in 1950s – 1970s La Marque homes was never sealed at the joints; conditioned air leaks into attics and crawl spaces before it reaches the rooms. We apply mastic sealant and mechanical fasteners at every connection, then pressure-test the system to verify the seal. For homes in the Columbia Memorial Parkway area with flex duct, we inspect for tears where the industrial fallout has degraded the outer liner. Duct Sealing in La Marque

Why La Marque Homes Are Different
La Marque sits directly downwind of the Texas City Industrial Complex, so air duct cleaning here isn’t just about dust. Fine petrochemical and refinery particulate settles into return ducts and coats blower wheels, and many local calls start with a customer asking, “Why does my house smell like the refinery?” Technicians know to inspect return plenums for the telltale grey-black film, especially in neighborhoods closest to the industrial corridor, and to recommend source-capture filtration from brands like Honeywell and Aprilaire, not just duct cleaning.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Much of La Marque was built between the 1950s and 1970s, with original galvanized sheet-metal ductwork that has never been sealed and is prone to leaks and internal rust. Newer subdivisions like Columbia Memorial Parkway use flex duct, which traps the sticky industrial fallout more aggressively. Post-Hurricane Ike flooding in 2008 also left many homes with ductwork that took on water and still needs sanitizing, not just vacuuming.
Gulf Coast humidity means HVAC systems run nearly year-round. Ducts accumulate condensation and biological growth faster than in drier climates, so a cleaning that might last five years inland often needs repeating in three here.
Brands We Service in La Marque
We stock parts and filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, and carry Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment for jobs that need source-capture air scrubbing. Most replacement filters and hardware are on the truck, so we’re not waiting on a parts run. our brands
