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 Flower Mound, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Flower Mound usually runs $129-$289, and on homes built between 1988 and 2010 that vent is often the original one, loaded with years of baked-on lint. Those big two-story brick houses in Wellington and Bridlewood push dryers hard, and a restricted vent in that kind of square footage means longer dry cycles and more heat in the wall cavity. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before the first panel comes off.
Why Flower Mound Homes Are Different
Most of Flower Mound’s housing stock came out of a master-planned building boom that packed large two-story homes, typically 3,000 to 4,500 square feet, onto lots threaded with long flex-duct runs through unconditioned attics. Those attics hit 140 to 155 degrees every summer, and after 20 to 30 years of that thermal cycling the inner mylar liners on original ductwork begin to delaminate. When they do, fibrous particles shed directly into the air your family breathes. That is not a hypothetical here; crews working the FM 2499 and FM 1171 corridor subdivisions see it routinely on mid-1990s homes.
There is also the cedar problem. Flower Mound sits in the Cross Timbers ecoregion, and Ashe juniper pollen spikes here in December through February, which is unusual for most of the country. A winter pollen season means window-opening weather mixes with heavy allergen loads, and whatever gets pulled into return ducts stays there until someone photographs it and removes it. Multi-zone HVAC systems in these homes mean more return-air drops and more linear footage than a typical Metroplex house, so flower mound duct work takes longer and costs more than a small urban retrofit.
Homeowners here tend to ask for evidence before they sign anything. We have always worked that way. Every job gets a documented photo record of the inside of every duct run, before and after, delivered as part of the standard job record.
Our Main Flower Mound Services
Most Flower Mound homeowners call us first about the two services below. Each has its own dedicated page with pricing detail, local conditions, and documented scope.
Air Duct Cleaning in Flower Mound
In Flower Mound, air duct cleaning means clearing the entire run network: supply trunks, return drops, registers, and the plenum at the air handler. On 3,000-plus-square-foot homes with two or three zones, that is rarely a quick job. We photograph every run before we start and again when we finish, so you can see the layer of debris that came off the duct walls. See the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Flower Mound page.
HVAC Cleaning in Flower Mound
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts to the blower assembly, evaporator coil, drain pan, and air handler cabinet. In a Flower Mound attic that regularly exceeds 140 degrees, biofilm and dust on a coil reduce system efficiency and can put moisture into the cabinet. We document the condition of those components with the same before-and-after photo standard. Details are on our HVAC Cleaning in Flower Mound page.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Flower Mound
Dryer vent cleaning in Flower Mound is a safety job as much as an efficiency job. Homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s through Wellington, Bridlewood, and the FM 2499 corridor often have original rigid-metal or semi-rigid vents running 15 to 30 feet through walls or attic space to an exterior termination. Lint accumulates at every bend, and in a vent that length a restricted airflow means a dryer that runs longer, works harder, and can push temperatures inside the vent well past the point where lint becomes fuel. We handle the full scope, from inspection to full lint removal through negative-pressure extraction, and every job includes camera photos of the vent interior before and after. You can review our full Dryer Vent Cleaning service detail, but the short version is this: we document what was in your vent, we remove it, and we hand you the photo record.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
The dryer takes two cycles to dry a normal load, the exterior vent flap barely opens during operation, or the laundry room gets noticeably warmer during a cycle.
What it costs in Flower Mound
Standalone dryer vent inspection runs $89-$149, and that amount is credited toward the cleaning price if the inspection leads to a same-visit cleaning.
How we do it
We run a camera from the dryer connection point through the full vent run to the exterior termination, then hand you photos with notes on restriction points, length, and any damaged sections.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
The exhaust outside the house carries visible lint, the vent hood stays closed under airflow, or the dryer interior and drum edges show a heavy lint coating despite regular trap cleaning.
What it costs in Flower Mound
Full lint removal as a standalone job runs $129-$209, and for homes with vents over 20 feet or second-story roof terminations, plan on $180-$260.
How we do it
We use professional rotating brushes paired with negative-pressure extraction, pulling loosened lint back to a HEPA-filtered collection unit rather than blowing it outward, then camera-verify the vent walls are clean.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The current vent runs an unusually long path, uses flexible vinyl or foil that catches lint aggressively, or terminates under a porch eave or into a crawlspace where venting violates current safety standard.
What it costs in Flower Mound
Rerouting a dryer vent in Flower Mound typically runs $260-$460 depending on the new path length, the number of new wall penetrations, and whether we install a guarded exterior termination.
How we do it
We replace the old run with rigid metal duct, shorten the path where the layout allows, seal each joint with metal tape, and install a proper exterior hood before testing airflow at the termination.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
The exterior vent hood shows nesting material, you hear birds in or near the vent, or the existing flapper no longer opens fully because debris has accumulated behind it.
What it costs in Flower Mound
Bird guard installation runs $60-$120 when done as part of a cleaning, or $90-$160 as a standalone trip with a basic hood replacement included.
How we do it
We clear any existing nesting material, replace the vent hood, and mount a purpose-built guard that keeps birds and rodents out while allowing full unrestricted airflow.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Flower Mound
| Item | Typical range in Flower Mound |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection (credited toward cleaning) | $89-$149 |
| Standard lint removal (single-story, short run) | $129-$209 |
| Long-run or roof-termination lint removal | $180-$260 |
| Vent rerouting with rigid metal duct | $260-$460 |
How often does a dryer vent need cleaning in Flower Mound?
Once every 12 to 18 months for most households. Homes with more than two loads per day, long vent runs, or pets pushing additional dust through the laundry room often need a cleaning every 10 to 12 months. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Why do some Flower Mound dryer vents clog faster than others?
Long runs with multiple 90-degree bends collect lint at each turn, and second-story roof terminations add moisture that turns lint into a hard, caked deposit. If your vent takes two cycles to dry a load, the restriction is already cutting efficiency and raising internal vent temperatures.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Flower Mound
Duct repair and sealing in Flower Mound is, on most homes built before 2005, a matter of addressing flex duct that has begun to fail from the inside. Those original inner mylar liners delaminate after two-plus decades of 140-degree attic cycles, and once the liner tears, the fiberglass insulation beneath can shed into the airstream while the tear itself leaks conditioned air into the attic. We find this on the majority of mid-90s homes we open up around FM 2499 and FM 1171, and sealing alone will not fix it; the damaged section has to come out. Our Duct Repair & Sealing process is inspection first, then a written scope with photos, then the repair itself.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Rooms at the end of a long run stay warmer in summer and cooler in winter than the rest of the house, or the attic smells musty and stale when the system cycles on.
What it costs in Flower Mound
Flex duct replacement on a short run section runs $280-$440 depending on diameter and access, while a full run replacement on an upstairs zone can reach $550-$800.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged flex section, install a new R-8 or R-6 duct in the same size, seal the connections with mastic, and photograph the inside before closing the run.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Dust accumulates on registers and surfaces within days of cleaning, utility bills stay stubbornly high in July and August, or you can see separated joints and gaps in exposed ductwork.
What it costs in Flower Mound
Duct sealing with mastic runs $350-$650 for a typical Flower Mound home depending on how many joints, plenums, and boots need coating, while a full-system seal can reach $700-$1,000.
How we do it
We paint a purpose-made mastic sealant across every accessible joint and seam, then run the system under pressure to check for remaining leaks before documenting the final condition.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Attic ducts feel warm to the touch during the day, the air coming from registers registers noticeably warmer than the air in the supply trunk, or condensation forms on exterior duct surfaces.
What it costs in Flower Mound
Insulation wrap on exposed attic ductwork runs $400-$750 depending on total linear footage and the condition of what is already installed.
How we do it
We wrap exposed ducts with insulation specified for North Texas attic temperatures, seal the outer jacket seams, and photograph the finished run before we leave.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Flower Mound
| Item | Typical range in Flower Mound |
|---|---|
| Short flex duct section replacement | $280-$440 |
| Duct sealing with mastic (per home) | $350-$650 |
| Duct insulation wrap on attic runs | $400-$750 |
Do Flower Mound homes need duct sealing even if the ducts look fine?
Yes. Most leaks happen at joints and plenums hidden by insulation, and a duct system in a 140-plus-degree attic loses efficiency at every gap. We find and seal these with camera documentation to show exactly where the air was escaping.
Can damaged flex duct be patched rather than replaced?
Sometimes, when the tear is small and the liner is otherwise intact. Mastic can close a minor separation. But once the inner mylar liner has delaminated across a run, patching one spot leaves the rest of the run waiting to fail. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written assessment.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Flower Mound
Air quality and sanitizing in Flower Mound is a direct response to two conditions: the December-through-February Ashe juniper pollen season that puts a winter allergen load into return ducts, and the microbial growth that develops in the stagnant sections of ductwork inside humid, warm attics. Pollen settles into return-air drops, dust holds moisture against duct surfaces, and over time a mild sour smell can develop that no filter replacement will fix. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing work starts with an inspection of what is actually inside the runs, then targets treatment, not scented spray. Every treatment is documented, and every product we use is labeled and listed in the job record.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
A persistent musty smell from the registers intensifies when the AC first kicks on, or visible dark spotting appears on metal register covers and nearby wall surfaces.
What it costs in Flower Mound
Duct mold treatment runs $400-$700 in Flower Mound, and if the affected area is confined to the evaporator coil and drain pan, that range holds; full-system sanitizing with mold remediation can reach $850-$1,200.
How we do it
We remove loose contamination with vacuum collection, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to the affected surfaces, and photograph the before and after condition of each treated run.
Bacteria Sanitizing
Signs you need it
Odors persist after traditional duct cleaning, a household member has recurring respiratory irritation, or the system has been off for several months and smells stale on restart.
What it costs in Flower Mound
Bacteria sanitizing runs $300-$500 and is often added to a full duct cleaning; as a standalone service on a multi-zone Flower Mound home, budget toward the higher end.
How we do it
We fog a non-abrasive antimicrobial through the duct system at a concentration specified by the manufacturer, allow full circulation, then clear the system with a final air flush.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
The evaporator coil develops visible biofilm growth season after season, or you want continuous microbial control inside the air handler cabinet rather than a periodic treatment.
What it costs in Flower Mound
UV light installation on an existing HVAC system runs $450-$800 in Flower Mound depending on whether we wire it to the air handler or install a portable chassis.
How we do it
We mount a properly sized UV lamp aimed at the evaporator coil and drain pan, wire it so it operates only when the blower operates, and document the final installation with photos.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
The system carries the smell of previous cooking, pet dander, smoke, or a stored-chemical odor that reintroduces itself every time the fan cycles on.
What it costs in Flower Mound
Odor removal runs $200-$400 as an add-on to cleaning, or $300-$500 as a standalone service when the source is clearly inside the ducts and not elsewhere in the home.
How we do it
We identify the source of the odor, remove any material holding it, treat the affected surfaces, and run the system under pressure to confirm the smell has cleared.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Flower Mound
| Item | Typical range in Flower Mound |
|---|---|
| Duct mold treatment | $400-$700 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $300-$500 |
| UV light installation | $450-$800 |
| Odor removal | $200-$500 |
Is sanitizing necessary if I just had my ducts cleaned in Flower Mound?
Not always. Cleaning removes debris and loose dust, but if moisture has allowed microbial growth on duct surfaces, cleaning alone will not kill it. A sanitizing treatment is warranted when odor or visible growth persists after cleaning. Call (806) 606-6902 and we will tell you honestly whether you need it.
Does winter pollen in Flower Mound really get into the ducts?
Yes. Ashe juniper pollen peaks in December through February here, and because windows are often open during mild winter afternoons, pollen enters the home and gets pulled into return-air drops. It settles inside the duct runs and can recirculate constantly, which is why winter cleaning demand is strong in this area.

What pushes a Flower Mound price toward the top of these ranges is square footage and system complexity. A 4,500-square-foot two-story home with three zones, long attic runs, and original flex duct from 1996 will take longer and require more linear footage than a 1,800-square-foot single-story on a short trunk line. Whatever the number, we put it in writing before work begins, and the price we write is the price you pay. No per-vent pricing, no added fees once the van is in your driveway. That is Haven Standard Clause 1, and we have worked that way since 2013.
