Air Duct Cleaning in The Crossings - One Flat Price, Before-and-After Photos

Air Duct Cleaning in The Crossings, FL

Dryer vent cleaning in The Crossings, FL typically runs $89 to $169 and takes about an hour. Homes here run air conditioning nearly 365 days a year, and the exterior dryer vents on many 1980s-built houses exhaust into tight soffit spaces that hold Everglades humidity. When a vent clogs, the dryer works harder and the damp air pulls mold spores back into the laundry room. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before we touch the first panel.

Why The Crossings Homes Are Different

The Crossings sits a few miles east of the Everglades, making it one of the most persistently humid pockets in Miami-Dade County. Air conditioning systems here run essentially year-round, so duct interiors cycle between cold conditioned air and warm, moist outside air that infiltrates through old duct board. That cycle never stops, which means microbial buildup and mold colonization inside ducts outpace most other South Florida suburbs.

The housing stock compounds the problem. Most homes in The Crossings were developed in the late 1970s through the 1980s, so the original fiberglass duct board is now 35 to 45 years old. Hurricane Andrew swept through southern Miami-Dade in August 1992, and many homes carry a patchwork of original ductwork and hastily installed post-storm replacements. We regularly open return plenums in this neighborhood and find insulation fragments from that era, blown into ducts during emergency roof work, still sitting there three decades later. Nobody sees it until a camera goes in.

Our Main The Crossings Services

The Crossings homeowners most often call us for two jobs: whole-system air duct cleaning and HVAC coil and blower cleaning. Both matter more here because of the humidity and the year-round cooling load.

Air Duct Cleaning in The Crossings

This is a full-system cleaning of supply and return duct runs, boots, and registers, done with negative-pressure extraction and HEPA filtration. In The Crossings, we typically find a mix of original duct board that has absorbed years of moisture and replacement flex ducts from post-Andrew repairs. The job ends with a photo record of every run, before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in The Crossings

HVAC Cleaning in The Crossings

HVAC cleaning here means pulling the blower wheel, cleaning the evaporator coil and drain pan, and clearing the plenum on both sides. The coils in The Crossings stay wet most of the year, which is where the biological film forms. If the coil is dirty and the ducts are clean, the air is still dirty. HVAC Cleaning in The Crossings

Dryer Vent Cleaning in The Crossings

Dryer vent cleaning in The Crossings is a scheduled maintenance job we recommend once a year, more often if the dryer runs daily for a large household. Homes built in the 1980s here tend to have long, multi-elbow vent runs that exit through soffits, and every elbow is a place where lint collects. In this humidity, that lint never dries out, and a clogged vent becomes a mold source and a fire hazard. We handle the full range of dryer vent work, from basic inspection to full rerouting, as described on our Dryer Vent Cleaning page.

Dryer Vent Inspection

Signs you need it

Clothes take two cycles to dry, or the laundry room feels humid while the dryer runs.

What it costs in The Crossings

Inspection alone runs $0 with any cleaning, or $89 as a standalone when paired with another service.

How we do it

We camera the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination and measure airflow with an anemometer before and after cleaning.

Vent Cleaning

Signs you need it

There is visible lint at the exterior vent cap, or the dryer shuts off on high-limit before clothes are dry.

What it costs in The Crossings

Full vent cleaning runs $89 to $169, depending on vent length and access.

How we do it

We run a rotary brush through the entire vent, vacuum at the dryer transition, then photograph the interior at the exit point.

Vent Rerouting

Signs you need it

The existing vent run is over 25 feet, has more than two elbows, or exhausts into an attic or soffit cavity.

What it costs in The Crossings

Rerouting starts at $250 and is quoted as a written flat price based on the route required.

How we do it

We measure the shortest code-compliant path, remove the old run, install rigid metal duct with taped seams, and verify exterior termination.

What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in The Crossings

How often should I really clean my dryer vent in The Crossings?

Once a year in The Crossings, regardless of dryer load. The humidity keeps lint damp, and damp lint clings to vent walls instead of blowing out. Large households should clean every six months.

Does a soffit vent make The Crossings homes riskier?

Yes. Soffit terminations are common in 1980s-era The Crossings homes, and they trap lint where roofs meet walls. The damp air cycles back into the soffit, and the lint stays wet. Call us for a camera check.

Duct Repair & Sealing in The Crossings

Duct repair and sealing in The Crossings is the fix for homes that have had 35 to 45 years of humidity on original fiberglass duct board, plus whatever Hurricane Andrew left behind. Seams separate, duct board sags and tears, and return ducts pull in attic air through gaps the homeowner never sees. We use mastic and UL-rated tape to seal every leak, and we photograph each repair before and after. The full breakdown of this work is on our Duct Repair & Sealing page.

Duct Sealing

Signs you need it

Rooms stay warm while other rooms get cold, or dust collects quickly after cleaning.

What it costs in The Crossings

Sealing runs $300 to $800, depending on how many runs and boots need work.

How we do it

We pressurize the system, measure leakage, seal with mastic, and retest to show the improvement in numbers.

Flex Duct Repair

Signs you need it

A connector has slipped off a boot, or someone crushed a run in the attic during storage or roof work.

What it costs in The Crossings

Repair runs $150 to $400, depending on the damaged section.

How we do it

We cut out the damaged section, fit a new section with proper connectors and tension, then seal the joints with mastic.

Duct Insulation

Signs you need it

Supply ducts sweat in the attic, or the air at the register feels warmer than the plenum air.

What it costs in The Crossings

Insulation runs $4 to $8 per linear foot, depending on existing duct condition.

How we do it

We wrap or replace insulation jackets to stop condensation and thermal loss, then photograph the result.

What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in The Crossings

Can sealed ducts lower my AC bill in The Crossings?

Yes. Sealing return and supply leaks means less attic air pulled into the system and less cooled air lost before it reaches the register. In The Crossings humidity, that also means less moisture entering the ducts.

How do I know the leak is actually fixed?

We measure leakage before and after with a digital manometer and give you both numbers in writing. You see the improvement, and every repair is photographed. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.

Air Quality & Sanitizing in The Crossings

Air quality and sanitizing in The Crossings deals with what grows inside ductwork that never dries out. With Everglades humidity and year-round AC, the inside of duct board and drain pans stays damp enough for mold and bacteria to colonize. The result is a musty smell that returns every time the blower kicks on, and sometimes visible growth around supply registers. We treat the entire airside of the system, not just the visible spots. Air Quality & Sanitizing covers the full service.

Mold Treatment

Signs you need it

Musty odor from the vents, or visible discoloration on supply registers or nearby ceilings.

What it costs in The Crossings

Mold treatment runs $450 to $1,200, depending on the extent and whether ducts also need cleaning first.

How we do it

We treat with an EPA-registered antimicrobial, applied to the affected surfaces after cleaning, and document the results with photos.

Odor Removal

Signs you need it

Smoke, pet, or cooking odors return every time the system runs, even after cleaning carpets and curtains.

What it costs in The Crossings

Odor removal runs $150 to $400, often paired with duct cleaning or coil cleaning.

How we do it

We identify the source with a camera, clean the affected surfaces, then neutralize remaining odor molecules with a registered treatment.

UV Light Installation

Signs you need it

Recurring mold on the coil or drain pan, or a household member with allergies that flare at home.

What it costs in The Crossings

UV light installation runs $400 to $900, including the unit and labor.

How we do it

We install the UV lamp in the supply plenum aimed at the coil, wire it to run with the blower, and verify placement with a photo record.

What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in The Crossings

Does sanitizing work on year-round AC systems in The Crossings?

Yes, but it works best when the coil and ducts are clean first. Sanitizing alone cannot fix a biofilm buried under debris. We treat after cleaning so the product reaches the surface it is meant to treat.

Is the treatment safe for my family and pets?

We use EPA-registered antimicrobials applied according to manufacturer specifications and after cleaning. The system is ventilated before it is returned to service. Call (806) 606-6902 for details on a specific product.
