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 Hurst, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Hurst deals with a specific problem: homes here were mostly built between 1958 and 1978, which means decades of lint packed into vents that were never designed for today’s high-efficiency dryers. Hurst’s overlapping pollen seasons and long, humid summers add to the load, and a blocked vent doesn’t just slow drying, it becomes a fire hazard. We document every vent run before and after, and we quote a written price before any work starts. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
Why Hurst Homes Are Different
Most of Hurst’s single-family stock is post-WWII brick ranch on slab foundations, with ductwork routed through unconditioned attics. That attic regularly exceeds 140°F in summer, which accelerates breakdown of early fiberglass duct board and first-generation flex duct. Tarrant County’s expansive black-clay soil also moves slabs subtly over time, shifting return-air boots and opening gaps that pull unfiltered attic air straight into the system.
We routinely open systems in neighborhoods west of Precinct Line Road and find original 1960s duct board whose interior facing has shed entirely, leaving a fibrous surface that traps decades of particulates. Mountain cedar in winter, oak and elm in spring, and blue norther cold fronts in late fall all push heavy particulate loads through return systems that may never have been professionally cleaned since the original build-out. Hurst has a high proportion of long-tenure homeowners, so it’s common to find no service history at all, not even a filter change date written on the frame.
Our Main Hurst Services
The two services Hurst homeowners ask about most are full air duct cleaning and complete HVAC system cleaning. Both matter here because of the housing age and attic conditions described above.
Air Duct Cleaning in Hurst
Air duct cleaning in Hurst means removing decades of accumulated debris from duct runs that were installed when Lyndon Johnson was president. We use negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, photographing the inside of every run before and after. Homeowners in Hurst’s vintage ranch houses often see a measurable drop in dust settling on furniture after the first full cleaning. For the complete Hurst service detail, see Air Duct Cleaning in Hurst.
HVAC Cleaning in Hurst
HVAC cleaning in Hurst covers the blower, evaporator coil, and plenum, not just the duct runs. On older systems with degraded duct-board liner, the coil often carries a mat of dust and pet hair that cuts airflow and raises cooling costs through a long DFW summer. Cleaning the full system means the blower isn’t re-distributing debris through freshly cleaned ductwork. For the full Hurst service breakdown, see HVAC Cleaning in Hurst.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Hurst
Dryer vent cleaning in Hurst addresses the single most common fire hazard in older brick ranch homes: a vent run that has accumulated lint for years, sometimes since the house was built. The combination of long cooling seasons, high indoor dust loads from Hurst’s pollen cycles, and original 4-inch vent runs through hot attics means lint builds faster than homeowners expect. Our written price is set before work starts, and every vent run is photographed inside before and after. See Dryer Vent Cleaning for the full service scope.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take longer than one cycle to dry, the dryer is hot to the touch at the end of a cycle, or you notice a musty smell when the dryer runs.
What it costs in Hurst
A dryer vent inspection in Hurst typically runs $75-$125, and we include the camera footage from inside the vent as part of that price.
How we do it
We run a camera through the vent from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, measuring airflow and documenting any blockage, sag, or damaged section.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
Lint accumulates visibly around the exterior vent cap, or the dryer shuts off mid-cycle on its high-limit safety switch.
What it costs in Hurst
Full dryer vent cleaning in Hurst typically costs $120-$230 depending on run length and access, which is the common configuration for the city’s ranch-style homes.
How we do it
We use a rotary brush system to break lint free from the vent walls, then run a negative-pressure vacuum to pull the debris out rather than pushing it into the attic.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
You find lint accumulating around the dryer drum or inside the lint trap housing even after clearing the screen.
What it costs in Hurst
Lint removal as a focused job runs $120-$200 in Hurst, and it’s often booked together with a full vent cleaning at the same visit.
How we do it
We remove the dryer’s front panel where needed, vacuum accumulated lint from the interior cabinet and blower wheel, then clear the full vent run with rotary brushes.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The existing vent run is longer than the dryer manufacturer’s maximum, passes through an unconditioned attic with multiple elbows, or terminates under a soffit instead of at an exterior wall.
What it costs in Hurst
Vent rerouting in Hurst typically runs $250-$450 depending on the new path length and the number of new roof or wall penetrations required.
How we do it
We plan the shortest allowed path to an exterior termination, replace the vent material with rigid metal duct where possible, and seal every joint with mastic.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or scratching sounds near the exterior vent cap, or you find nesting material visible around the outside termination.
What it costs in Hurst
Bird guard installation in Hurst typically costs $90-$150 including the guard, the removal of any existing nesting material, and the labor to secure it in place.
How we do it
We remove any nesting material, clean the termination point, and install a metal guard that allows airflow while blocking birds and rodents.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Hurst
| Item | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $75-$125 |
| Full dryer vent cleaning | $120-$230 |
| Bird guard installation | $90-$150 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Hurst?
Every 12 to 24 months for most Hurst households, and every 12 months if you have pets, run laundry daily, or your vent run is longer than 15 feet. A camera inspection gives you a definitive answer in about 15 minutes. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule one.
Why is my dryer still slow after I cleaned the lint screen?
The lint screen only catches a fraction of what passes through. The rest accumulates inside the vent pipe itself, narrowing the airflow path. In Hurst’s humid summers, that trapped lint can also absorb moisture and form a dense mat. Call (806) 606-6902 for a vent inspection and written price.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Hurst
Duct repair and sealing in Hurst addresses the specific failure patterns of 45-to-70-year-old duct systems: failed mastic at joints, original cloth-backed tape that has dried and pulled away, and return-air boots shifted by Tarrant County’s expansive black-clay soil. Those gaps mean your system is pulling attic air, which in a Hurst summer means 140°F air mixing into your cooled supply. We find and seal those leaks, then document the repair with photos. See Duct Repair & Sealing for the full scope.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Some rooms stay noticeably warmer than others, or you see dust streaks around return grilles even after changing the filter.
What it costs in Hurst
Duct sealing in Hurst typically runs $300-$600 for targeted sealing at accessible joints, with most ranch-style homes falling in that range.
How we do it
We locate leaks by hand and with a smoke puffer, then apply mastic or foil-backed tape at every failed joint and photograph each repair.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Flex duct sections in the attic appear collapsed, kinked, or torn, often visible where runs pass over framing or cross other ductwork.
What it costs in Hurst
Flex duct repair in Hurst typically runs $200-$450 per section depending on diameter and accessibility, and we replace rather than patch when the inner liner is damaged.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section, install new flex duct with proper tension and support straps, and seal both connection points with mastic.
Metal Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Metal duct sections show rust, separated seams, or dents that have narrowed the airflow path, often found in original 1960s systems.
What it costs in Hurst
Metal duct repair in Hurst typically runs $250-$550 per section, depending on whether we reseal seams on-site or fabricate a replacement section.
How we do it
We clean the affected metal, reseal seams with mastic, and where metal has rusted through, we cut and replace the section with matching gauge material.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Ducts in the attic feel hot to the touch during summer, or you see condensation forming on the exterior of duct runs during humid weather.
What it costs in Hurst
Duct insulation in Hurst typically runs $3-$6 per linear foot for wrap insulation, so an average attic run of 40 feet lands between $120 and $240 in materials plus labor.
How we do it
We wrap exposed duct runs with the correct R-value insulation for attic conditions, sealing all seams so condensation cannot reach the duct surface.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
Visible gaps at duct joints, dried or cracked old mastic, or original cloth tape that has lost adhesion and separated from the duct surface.
What it costs in Hurst
Mastic sealing as a focused job in Hurst typically runs $200-$400 for sealing accessible joints throughout the attic, with the price set before we start.
How we do it
We brush or trowel mastic over every accessible joint, boot, and plenum connection, then let it cure before re-testing airflow at each register.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Hurst
| Item | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Targeted duct sealing | $300-$600 |
| Flex duct section repair | $200-$450 per section |
| Mastic sealing at accessible joints | $200-$400 |
Can leaking ducts really raise my cooling bill in Hurst?
Yes. When return ducts pull attic air into the system, your AC cools air it already cooled, and supply leaks dump conditioned air into the attic. In a Hurst summer, that’s measurable on your electric bill. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
How do I know the leaks were actually sealed?
We photograph every joint before and after sealing, and we include those photos in the job record we hand you when the work is done. You can see exactly which joints were leaking and what was applied. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Hurst
Air quality and sanitizing in Hurst responds to a climate pattern: overlapping pollen seasons in winter and spring, high summer humidity that drives condensation cycles inside attic ducts, and degraded fiberglass duct board that holds moisture against accumulated organic debris. The result is a system that can circulate mold spores, bacteria, and allergens through every room. We treat the actual surfaces, not the air in the room, and we document what was found and what was applied. See Air Quality & Sanitizing for the full service scope.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You see visible mold growth on duct surfaces or registers, or you smell a persistent musty odor that gets stronger when the system runs.
What it costs in Hurst
Mold treatment in Hurst typically runs $400-$1,200 depending on the affected area, and we quote the full system scope in writing before any chemical is applied.
How we do it
We photograph the affected surfaces, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial using fogging equipment that reaches the inner duct surfaces, and document the treatment with before and after photos.
Bacteria Sanitizing
Signs you need it
Household members experience unexplained respiratory irritation or odors that persist after cleaning, often traced to bacteria accumulating on the evaporator coil and drain pan.
What it costs in Hurst
Bacteria sanitizing in Hurst typically runs $250-$550 for the full duct system, and it is often booked together with a full air duct cleaning.
How we do it
We apply a hospital-grade sanitizer to the coil, drain pan, and interior duct surfaces, then let it dwell for the manufacturer-specified contact time before the system runs again.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Persistent odors from pets, cooking, or previous occupants remain even after cleaning, often because the source is embedded in the duct liner or insulation.
What it costs in Hurst
Odor removal in Hurst typically runs $200-$500 depending on the size of the system and the source of the odor, and the written price is set before we begin.
How we do it
We identify the source with a camera, clean the affected surfaces where possible, then apply an odor-neutralizing treatment that binds to the source rather than masking it.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
You have recurring mold on the evaporator coil despite regular cleaning, or a household member has a documented sensitivity to airborne mold spores.
What it costs in Hurst
UV light installation in Hurst typically runs $600-$1,200 including the Honeywell or Guardsman unit, the mounting hardware, and the electrical work.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp inside the plenum near the coil, wire it to run when the blower runs, and verify the lamp output with a meter before we leave.
Air Purifier Install
Signs you need it
Household members have allergy symptoms that persist despite duct cleaning, or you want whole-home filtration that captures particulate smaller than a standard 1-inch filter.
What it costs in Hurst
Air purifier installation in Hurst typically runs $700-$1,500 including the unit, the filter media, and the installation into the existing duct system.
How we do it
We install the purifier in the supply plenum where it treats all air passing through the system, then verify airflow and document the install with photos.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Hurst
| Item | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $400-$1,200 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $250-$550 |
| UV light installation | $600-$1,200 |
Is mold in Hurst ducts actually common?
Yes, and it usually starts with condensation. Hurst’s summer humidity, combined with ducts running through unconditioned attics, creates the exact conditions mold needs on degraded duct-board insulation. A camera inspection confirms whether you have it. Call (806) 606-6902.
Will sanitizing my ducts get rid of allergy symptoms in Hurst?
It addresses what is in the ductwork, which is one part of indoor air quality. Hurst’s pollen seasons push outdoor allergens inside through doorways and windows as much as through the system. Combining sanitizing with filtration gives you the best result. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
