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 Leander, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Leander is not a cosmetic service. Homes in Bryson, Travisso, and Crystal Falls move enormous volumes of lint through builder-installed vents, and most of those vents were never sized or routed for the dryer’s actual run length. That lint builds into a fire hazard and a performance problem fast. If your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load, the vent is usually the bottleneck. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a camera in the line before we touch anything.
Why Leander Homes Are Different
Leander’s housing stock is overwhelmingly slab-on-grade tract construction from volume builders like Lennar, KB Home, and Taylor Morrison, built between the mid-2000s and early 2020s. Those homes came with builder-grade flex duct and, in many cases, dryer vents that were installed to minimum code, not to the actual layout of the laundry room. Kinks at the boot, runs that sag between floor joists, and vent caps that don’t close properly are common findings we document in Leander homes every week.
The bigger issue is what happens during construction. Along the Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Hero Way growth corridors, homes finished between 2015 and 2020 often ran HVAC systems for months to cure drywall and manage humidity before the first owner closed. That embedded caliche limestone dust and joint compound particulate into duct liners. Then the Ashe juniper season starts. From December through February, cedar pollen loads in Leander are among the highest in Texas, and a single return-air intake pulls that pollen through the entire duct network. Homes here are too young for owners to suspect dirty ducts, which is exactly why the contamination goes unaddressed for years.
Our Main Leander Services
Two services account for the majority of calls we take from Leander homeowners. Both start with a written price and end with a photo record of every duct run.
Air Duct Cleaning in Leander
Most Leander homes have never had their ducts opened since the day construction wrapped. We pull registers, camera the plenum and branch runs, and show you exactly what’s sitting in the duct liner before we start. On a typical Leander job, that means construction dust, drywall particulate, and a season or two of cedar pollen. You get negative-pressure extraction with a HEPA-filtered collection system, contact cleaning of the trunk line, and before-and-after photos of every run. Full details on scope and what to expect: Air Duct Cleaning in Leander.
HVAC Cleaning in Leander
HVAC cleaning in Leander goes beyond the ducts. Evaporator coils in slab-on-grade homes run almost continuously from May through September, collecting a film of fine caliche dust that cuts airflow and forces longer runtimes. We clean the blower assembly, the evaporator coil, the drain pan, and the plenum, then sanitize the coil surfaces. The goal is measurable airflow improvement, not a vague promise of fresher air. See the full breakdown here: HVAC Cleaning in Leander.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Leander
Dryer vent cleaning in Leander matters more than in most markets because the homes are big and the vent runs are long. A two-story home in Travisso with the laundry on the second floor can push 25 to 40 feet of vent line, most of it inaccessible without a camera and proper tools. Lint accumulates at every elbow, and the dryer works harder each cycle to push through the restriction. It’s the most common cause of “dryer works but clothes won’t dry” we hear in Leander, and it’s also the fire risk that most homeowners never see until we show them the photo. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning process starts with a camera inspection and a written flat price before any disassembly.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take more than one full cycle to dry, or the dryer exterior gets noticeably hot during operation.
What it costs in Leander
Standalone inspections run $49 to $89, and that fee is applied as a credit if cleaning work follows on the same visit.
How we do it
We send a camera down the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, note every bend and restriction, and show you the footage before recommending anything.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
The exterior vent flap doesn’t open fully during a cycle, or lint is visible around the vent opening outside.
What it costs in Leander
Standard whole-run cleaning for one dryer vent is $119 to $249 depending on access and run length.
How we do it
We run a rotating brush through the full vent line, vacuum simultaneously from the exterior, and capture before-and-after photos of the interior walls so you can see the difference.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
You clean the lint trap every load but the dryer still runs long, or you find lint accumulating behind the dryer cabinet.
What it costs in Leander
Interior lint removal around the dryer cabinet and blower housing runs $99 to $179 as a standalone scope.
How we do it
We remove the dryer’s front or rear panel as needed, clear packed lint from the blower wheel and heating element housing, and photograph the cleared cavity before reassembly.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The existing vent path is kinked, has too many elbows, or terminates in a soffit or crawlspace instead of a proper exterior cap.
What it costs in Leander
Complete vent rerouting with new rigid or semi-rigid metal duct runs $249 to $549 depending on wall access and total run length.
How we do it
We map the shortest viable path, install new vent material with minimal bends, seal every joint, and terminate with a proper backdraft damper at the exterior.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or scratching near the dryer vent termination, or you find nesting material around the exterior cap.
What it costs in Leander
Bird guard installation typically adds $49 to $79 to a vent cleaning, or stands alone at $69 to $109.
How we do it
We remove any existing nesting material, install a screened guard over the termination, and document the exterior with a photo so you know the barrier is in place.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Leander
| Item | Typical range in Leander |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $49 - $89 |
| Whole-run vent cleaning | $119 - $249 |
| Interior lint removal | $99 - $179 |
How long does dryer vent cleaning take in Leander?
Most single-run cleanings in Leander take 45 to 90 minutes. Longer second-story runs in homes like those in Travisso or Crystal Falls can push past two hours. You’ll get a written time estimate before we start.
Is dryer vent cleaning covered by home insurance in Leander?
Insurance generally treats vent cleaning as maintenance, not a covered repair. Some policies discount premiums if you document annual cleaning. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll tell you exactly what our photo record includes so you can submit it.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Leander
Leander’s builder-grade flex duct ages poorly. The homes are young, but the materials were never built for the near-continuous AC runtime from May through September, and we regularly find kinked sections, disconnected boots, and joints that were taped once and never sealed again. In a two-story Lennar or Meritage home, that means conditioned air is leaking into the attic while some rooms never reach setpoint. Our Duct Repair & Sealing work fixes the actual leaks with mastic and proper mechanical connections, then documents every repair with before-and-after photos.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms at the far end of the house never reach the thermostat temperature, or your utility bills climb every summer while runtime stays flat.
What it costs in Leander
Aeroseal or mastic sealing on a single HVAC system runs $250 to $850 depending on how many branch runs need treatment.
How we do it
We depressurize the duct system, test for leakage, then seal accessible joints with mastic and hard cast material, re-testing to document the improvement in writing.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You can see visible sagging or crushed duct runs in the attic, or one room stays warmer than the rest despite the damper being open.
What it costs in Leander
Replacing a damaged flex run runs $150 to $350 per run depending on length and access.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section, install new flex duct with proper tension, connect boots with mechanical fasteners, and re-insulate the seam before photographing the finished run.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Conditioned air feels warm at the register during summer, or the attic-side duct surfaces show heavy condensation during humid months.
What it costs in Leander
Adding or replacing duct insulation runs $175 to $400 per run for typical residential applications.
How we do it
We strip damaged insulation, wrap the duct with the correct R-value material for the attic, seal the vapor barrier, and document the finished surface with photos.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Leander
| Item | Typical range in Leander |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing (per system) | $250 - $850 |
| Flex duct replacement (per run) | $150 - $350 |
| Duct insulation (per run) | $175 - $400 |
Will sealing my ducts actually lower my energy bill in Leander?
Yes. Leaking ductwork in a Leander attic can lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air before it reaches a register. Sealing those leaks reduces runtime and moves the bill in the right direction. We provide a written before-and-after leakage measure.
How do I know my ducts actually got sealed and not just “checked”?
Every repair is photographed inside and out, and you receive that photo record along with your written scope and warranty. Haven Standard Clause 1 means the price is fixed in writing before the first panel comes off. Call (806) 606-6902 for your exact scope.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Leander
Cedar pollen season is the obvious driver, but the less visible problem is what’s already inside the ducts: construction dust from the drywall-cure period, fine caliche particles pulled in over years of AC runtime, and humidity-driven microbial growth on coil surfaces. In Leander, the quality of the air coming out of the registers is a product of everything that’s settled in the system since the house was framed. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing work starts with a camera view of the inside of the system, then applies targeted treatment only where it’s needed.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You see visible mold growth on duct surfaces, registers, or around the coil, or you smell a persistent musty odor that worsens when the AC runs.
What it costs in Leander
Duct and coil mold treatment runs $500 to $1,500 depending on how much of the system is affected.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to affected surfaces, allow the required dwell time, then clean and photograph the treated area before reassembly.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Every time the system cycles on you smell stale air, pet dander, or a lingering cooking odor that doesn’t clear with filters.
What it costs in Leander
Whole-system odor removal with duct cleaning runs $350 to $750 depending on home size.
How we do it
We clean the duct surfaces, replace or deodorize the filter housing, and treat the coil and plenum so the odor source is removed rather than masked.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
You’ve had recurring coil mold despite cleanings, or a family member has respiratory sensitivities that worsen at home.
What it costs in Leander
UV light installation runs $450 to $900 per system including the unit and hardwired installation.
How we do it
We install a UV lamp at the coil line, wire it to the air handler so it runs with the system, and confirm operation before we leave.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Leander
| Item | Typical range in Leander |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (duct and coil) | $500 - $1,500 |
| Odor removal with duct cleaning | $350 - $750 |
| UV light installation | $450 - $900 |
Does air duct sanitizing actually kill cedar pollen inside the ducts?
Sanitizer doesn’t remove pollen; it treats microbial growth on surfaces. Pollen has to be physically removed with negative-pressure extraction and contact cleaning. We do both in one visit and photograph the difference. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
How soon after sanitizing can we be back in the house?
Most treatments require the system to run for 30 to 60 minutes after application, after which the home is fully occupied. You’ll get exact dwell times in writing before work starts.
