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 in Denton, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Denton deals with two very different housing stocks: the 1960s-1980s rental homes near UNT and TWU where dryer vents often haven’t been touched in years, and the new subdivisions pushing toward Corinth where construction lint and drywall dust clog brand-new runs. The Cross Timbers prairie dust loading doesn’t help either, packing dryer vents with fine particulate through a cooling season that stretches from April to October. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts, and we’ll photograph every run before and after so you can see the difference.
Why Denton Homes Are Different
Denton’s housing stock splits sharply along a line that matters for anyone working inside duct systems. The older neighborhoods around the University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University are dense with high-turnover rental properties built in the 1960s through 1980s, and annual tenant churn means those duct systems routinely go a decade or more without cleaning. We regularly find flexible duct runs in these homes that have partially kinked or detached at the boot connection, pulling attic dust and insulation particles directly into living areas while the tenant pays cooling bills for air that never reaches the room.
At the same time, Denton’s southern and eastern edges have filled with new construction where HVAC systems were left running during build-out. That loads brand-new ductwork with drywall dust and fiberglass insulation fibers before the first owner ever moves in. Add the cultivated farmland surrounding Denton and the dry northwest winds that carry soil particulate across the city, and you have a market where duct contamination is faster and heavier than in Flower Mound or Frisco, which lack the same university-rental density and agricultural dust loading.
Our Main Denton Services
Two services account for most of what Denton homeowners call us about, and each one has its own dedicated page with full pricing and local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Denton
Full-system negative-pressure extraction of debris from supply and return duct runs, the plenum, and registers. In Denton rental homes near campus, we typically document years of accumulated tenant turnover dust, pet hair, and in many cases collapsed flex duct sections. Newer homes toward Corinth more often show construction debris from the initial build. Every job includes a photographed record of each run before and after, and our written price is set before the first panel comes off. See the full scope and cost detail on our Air Duct Cleaning in Denton page.
HVAC Cleaning in Denton
Cleaning the furnace or air handler cabinet, evaporator coil, blower wheel, and condensate drain line, not just the duct runs themselves. Denton’s long cooling season and heavy agricultural dust loading mean coils here foul faster than in more urban parts of the metro, and a dirty coil cuts airflow and raises cooling costs through the April-to-October stretch. We work with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment and document the coil condition before and after. Full pricing is on the HVAC Cleaning in Denton page.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Denton
Dryer vent cleaning in Denton is urgent in the older rental neighborhoods and consistently overlooked in the newer builds. In campus-adjacent rentals, vents often hold years of compacted lint from high tenant turnover, sometimes with bird nests or rodent debris at the exterior cap. In the new construction south of town, builders frequently leave dryer vents filled with construction lint and drywall dust on day one. A clogged dryer vent forces the dryer to run longer on every load, and that accumulated lint is a combustion hazard. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, photograph every section, and hand you a written price before starting. This is the same standard we apply on every job – find more detail on our Dryer Vent Cleaning page.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take two or more cycles to dry, the dryer exterior gets hot to the touch, or you smell a musty odor when the machine runs.
What it costs in Denton
A dryer vent inspection in Denton typically runs $90-$140, and the cost is credited toward cleaning if we find a clog.
How we do it
We run a camera through the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap and photograph every restriction we find.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
Visible lint buildup at the exterior vent cap, longer drying times that keep getting worse, or no record of the vent ever being cleaned.
What it costs in Denton
Dryer vent cleaning in Denton typically ranges from $125-$190 for a single-story home with a direct wall vent, more for longer runs through attics or crawl spaces.
How we do it
We use a Rotobrush-powered auger and high-velocity negative pressure to break up and extract compacted lint from the full run, then photo-document the result at the cap and at the dryer connection.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
Lint is visible at the wall or floor around the dryer, or the vent cap flap won’t open fully because packed lint is pressing against it.
What it costs in Denton
Standalone lint removal where the vent is accessible and the run is short typically costs $100-$150 in Denton.
How we do it
We extract the lint block from the vent path, clean the dryer’s internal lint trap housing, and verify airflow with a manometer before we finish.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
A flexible foil or plastic vent run that sags, kinks, or runs more than 25 feet without a booster fan.
What it costs in Denton
Rerouting a dryer vent in Denton typically costs $180-$300 depending on run length, access, and whether new rigid duct sections are needed.
How we do it
We replace the existing run with rigid metal duct, shorten the path where possible, and seal every joint with metal tape before reconnecting and testing airflow.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Denton
| Item | Typical range in Denton |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $90 – $140 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $125 – $190 |
| Lint removal | $100 – $150 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Denton?
Every 12 months for most Denton homes, and every 6 months in the older rental neighborhoods near UNT and TWU where high tenant turnover means vents collect lint faster and nobody tracks the last cleaning. Our written photo record shows you exactly what came out.
Why does my dryer take two cycles to dry clothes in Denton?
In most Denton cases we document, the vent run is partially blocked with compacted lint, often with construction debris from the original build in newer homes. The fix starts with a camera inspection, not a guess. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you the photo before any cleaning starts.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Denton
Duct repair and sealing in Denton addresses the two most common local failures: degraded flexible duct runs in the 1960s-1980s rental and older owner-occupied homes, and poorly sealed sheet-metal ductwork in new construction. In the campus neighborhoods, years of deferred maintenance mean flex ducts kink, tear, or detach at boots, pulling attic air into the conditioned space. In newer subdivisions, every leaky joint costs you cooled air through Denton’s long summer. We find the leaks with a camera and pressure testing, seal them with mastic or replace the failed run, and photograph every repair. Learn more about our Duct Repair & Sealing approach.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms that never reach the thermostat setpoint, noticeably higher cooling bills than neighbors with similar homes, or visible dust streaks around register faces.
What it costs in Denton
Sealing accessible duct joints and seams in Denton typically runs $300-$550 depending on the number of registers and access difficulty.
How we do it
We locate each leak with a smoke pencil or pressure test, then seal the joint with fiber-reinforced mastic and metal tape, photo-documenting each one before and after.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Collapsed or kinked flexible duct visible in the attic, a noticeable drop in airflow to one room, or the system pulling attic air through a detached boot connection.
What it costs in Denton
Flex duct repair in Denton typically costs $150-$350 per run depending on length, diameter, and how much of the run must be replaced.
How we do it
We cut out the failed section, replace it with properly sized new flex duct, reconnect and seal the boot, and verify airflow at the register before we leave.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
Visible gaps at duct joints in the attic or basement, or a blower door test that shows significant duct leakage to unconditioned space.
What it costs in Denton
Full mastic sealing of an accessible duct system in Denton typically runs $400-$700, depending on system size and access.
How we do it
We brush fiber-reinforced mastic into every accessible joint and seam, allow it to cure, and pressure-test the system to document the improvement.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Denton
| Item | Typical range in Denton |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing | $300 – $550 |
| Flex duct repair | $150 – $350 per run |
| Mastic sealant | $400 – $700 |
Why are some rooms in my Denton house always hotter than others?
Usually the duct run feeding that room is leaking, kinked, or partially detached, so conditioned air never reaches the register at design volume. We photograph the failed section and show you exactly where the loss is. Call (806) 606-6902 for an inspection.
Do I need a permit for duct repair in Denton?
Replacing or sealing existing ductwork does not require a permit in Denton, though any change to the HVAC system’s rated capacity would. We handle the work as a repair, document it, and leave you a written record of what changed.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Denton
Air quality and sanitizing in Denton responds to the city’s specific particulate profile: agricultural dust from surrounding farmland, construction dust in newer homes, and years of accumulated debris in aging rental ductwork. The April-to-October cooling season means HVAC systems recirculate interior air for months at a time, so whatever is inside the ducts stays in the air you breathe. We treat the system with professional sanitizers, install UV light or air purification equipment where the home needs it, and document everything in writing. More detail on our Air Quality & Sanitizing service page.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible mold growth on register faces, a persistent musty odor from the vents, or black staining inside the ductwork visible with a camera inspection.
What it costs in Denton
Mold treatment for duct systems in Denton typically runs $400-$800 depending on the affected area and whether full-system sanitizing is needed.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to the affected surfaces inside the ductwork, document the before and after condition with photographs, and recommend source control if moisture is the root cause.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Persistent cooking, pet, or musty odors that return within hours after the HVAC system runs, or a smell that worsens when the system first starts.
What it costs in Denton
Odor removal for a duct system in Denton typically costs $250-$450 and includes system cleaning plus a deodorizing treatment.
How we do it
We clean the duct runs to remove the odor source, then fog the system with a professional deodorizer that neutralizes the remaining compounds at the surface.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold on the evaporator coil, a household member with chronic respiratory issues, or a coil that stays damp through Denton’s long cooling season.
What it costs in Denton
UV light installation in Denton typically costs $350-$600 including the fixture, bulb, and installation at the evaporator coil.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell UV lamp at the evaporator coil, wire it to operate when the blower runs, and verify placement with a photo record so you can see the coverage.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Denton
| Item | Typical range in Denton |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $400 – $800 |
| Odor removal | $250 – $450 |
| UV light installation | $350 – $600 |
Will sanitizing my ducts get rid of the musty smell in my Denton home?
If the smell is coming from inside the duct runs, yes – mold treatment and odor removal address the surface contamination directly. If the source is moisture in the attic or crawl space, we’ll document it and recommend the repair. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you what’s actually in the ducts.
Is UV light worth installing in Denton?
In Denton’s long cooling season, coils stay damp from April through October, which is exactly when mold grows on them. A UV lamp installed at the coil reduces that growth, and we document the placement so you can verify the work. Written price before we start, every time.
