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 Richwood, TX
Air duct cleaning in Richwood, TX typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and should be scheduled more frequently than inland Texas markets because Gulf Coast humidity and salt-laden air accelerate contamination inside ductwork. Most Richwood homes run their cooling systems nine or ten months a year, pulling moist coastal air through aging fiberglass flex ducts that were never designed for this climate. We dispatch crews from our Dallas-Fort Worth coordination office and serve Richwood properties with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air equipment, pricing every job in writing before we start. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Richwood Homes Are Different
Richwood sits on the Gulf Coast roughly fifty miles south of Houston, and that proximity changes everything about how ductwork ages. The housing stock here is dominated by single-story ranch homes and modest waterfront properties built from the 1960s through the 1990s, most on slab foundations with original fiberglass flex duct or galvanized metal runs tucked into hot attics and tight crawlspaces. These systems were designed for a drier era and a lighter cooling load.
The humid subtropical climate means year-round moisture, frequent heavy rains, and salt-laden air that corrodes metal components and feeds microbial growth inside ducts. After tropical storms or hurricanes, the pattern is predictable: power outages let humidity spike, then when the AC kicks back on, homeowners smell musty air they never noticed before. That is usually when they call. We also find fine salt deposits and sand pulled into return ducts through poorly sealed outdoor units, especially on streets closer to the water. Access is another factor. Slab-on-grade construction with ducts under floors or in low attics makes cleaning more labor-intensive than in newer homes with centralized mechanical rooms.
Our Main Richwood Services
Richwood homeowners call us most often for three jobs: restoring airflow through contaminated duct runs, clearing dryer vents clogged with coastal lint and humidity, and sealing leaky ducts that are bleeding conditioned air into attics and crawlspaces.
Air Duct Cleaning in Richwood
We clean supply and return ductwork with a Rotobrush rotary brush system that loosens buildup, paired with a Nikro negative-air machine that pulls debris out under controlled suction. In Richwood, the priority is usually addressing moisture-related contamination and salt corrosion inside flex ducts that have never been opened since installation. We inspect each run with a camera before and after so you see what was there and what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Richwood
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richwood
Coastal humidity makes lint stick to vent walls more aggressively than in drier climates, and longer vent runs through slab-on-grade walls add friction that slows exhaust airflow. We pull the dryer out, clean the full length of rigid or flexible venting with rotary tools, and verify airflow at the exterior cap. If the vent run is damaged by salt corrosion or crushed behind the unit, we flag it before it becomes a fire risk. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richwood
Duct Sealing in Richwood
Leaky ducts in Richwood attics and crawlspaces pull in hot, humid outdoor air and push conditioned air into spaces you do not live in. We seal accessible joints and seams with mastic and reinforced tape, then pressure-test the system to verify the seal. For homes with extensive flex-duct damage from age or rodent intrusion, we isolate which runs can be sealed and which need replacement so you are not paying for a temporary fix.
