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 Brownsburg, IN
Dryer vent cleaning in Brownsburg usually runs $120-$180 for a single vent, and the reason it matters so much here comes down to how fast the town was built. Thousands of homes went up in large subdivisions between 2005 and 2015, with builder-grade dryer vents that were never inspected after installation. Those vents now carry 10 to 20 years of compacted lint, often with agricultural dust layered in from the surrounding Hendricks County fields. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Brownsburg Homes Are Different
Brownsburg’s housing stock is overwhelmingly suburban tract construction, mostly two-story and ranch homes built after 2000 in planned subdivisions with open floor plans. That means longer duct runs and larger return-air chases than you’d find in an older, tighter Indianapolis neighborhood. More length, more turns, more surface area where dust settles and lint accumulates. The forced-air gas furnace is nearly universal here, and many of these systems were sealed up quickly during construction phases before job-site dust was fully cleared out. We routinely pull compacted drywall dust, fiberglass insulation particles, and sawdust from trunk lines in Brownsburg homes that have never had a professional cleaning. What makes Brownsburg distinct is the volume of first-ever cleanings. In tract housing built this fast, return-air grilles were often left uncovered during drywall, texture, and paint, and mid-2000s plenum boxes here frequently show a visible gray cake of joint compound dust fused to the interior walls. Add Hendricks County’s active farm fields, where spring planting and fall harvest load grain particulates into outdoor intakes, plus humid summers that cause condensation in unconditioned attic duct sections, and you have a specific set of problems that older, established suburbs simply don’t produce.
Our Main Brownsburg Services
Brownsburg homeowners call us most often about two jobs: full air duct cleaning and HVAC system cleaning. Both are the logical first step for tract homes that have never had their ductwork touched since the builder handed over the keys.
Air Duct Cleaning in Brownsburg
Most Brownsburg homes fall into the same category: built after 2000, never cleaned, now carrying a decade-plus of construction dust, pet dander, and Hendricks County field particulate. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Brownsburg service uses negative-pressure extraction to pull that material out of every duct run, with a camera record of the interior before and after. You get a written price first, and a documented photo record when the crew leaves.
HVAC Cleaning in Brownsburg
The evaporator coil, blower assembly, and drain pan in a Brownsburg furnace see everything that passes through the return ducts. When those return ducts were left uncovered during drywall and paint, that means a lot of fine dust baking onto the coil. Our HVAC Cleaning in Brownsburg service addresses the system side of the equation, cleaning the components that move air through those long open-plan duct runs. Written price, photo record, no exceptions.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Brownsburg
Dryer vent cleaning is the highest-frequency service call we run in Brownsburg’s subdivision housing. Most vents here are short by code but built with cheap foil or vinyl flex that collects lint quickly, and the open farmland around town means harvest season adds a layer of grain dust to the mix. A clogged dryer vent in a two-story Brownsburg home with a vertical run to the roof is a fire risk and a drying-time problem, and the fix is straightforward when the vent is actually cleaned and documented. For the full breakdown of the service, see our Dryer Vent Cleaning page.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take two cycles to dry, the dryer exterior runs hot, or you smell a musty, hot-lint odor in the laundry room.
What it costs in Brownsburg
An inspection alone typically runs $75-$110 in Brownsburg, and that fee is waived when cleaning is done.
How we do it
We run a camera through the full vent path to locate blockages, measure airflow with an anemometer, and document everything with photos before quoting a written cleaning price.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
Visible lint build-up at the exterior vent flap, reduced airflow, or the dryer shutting off mid-cycle from overheating.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Full vent cleaning on a standard single-family Brownsburg home runs $120-$180, with roof-vent access adding $50-$100.
How we do it
We use a rotating brush system paired with negative-pressure extraction to pull lint out from the entire vent run, including the hidden elbows, then show you before-and-after photos of the interior.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
The lint trap catches surprisingly little lint, the vent flap barely opens during a cycle, or you find lint scattered on the laundry room floor.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Lint removal as a standalone job costs $90-$140, though most Brownsburg homeowners bundle it with a full vent cleaning.
How we do it
We remove the exterior vent cover, extract the compacted lint with a professional brush and vacuum system, and check that the flapper closes fully when the dryer is off.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The vent runs more than 25 feet, has more than two elbows, or terminates in a soffit vent instead of an exterior wall or roof cap.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Vent rerouting in Brownsburg typically runs $340-$590, depending on the new termination point and access.
How we do it
We reroute the vent to the shortest compliant path with rigid metal duct, reducing resistance so the dryer runs cooler and lint clears faster.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You hear scratching near the vent, see nesting material at the exterior opening, or find the vent flap jammed open by debris.
What it costs in Brownsburg
A bird guard installed on any Brownsburg vent costs $90-$130, including the guard and mounting.
How we do it
We install a guarded exterior cap that keeps birds and rodents out while maintaining full airflow, then photograph the finished work.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Brownsburg
| Item | Typical range in Brownsburg |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $75-$110 (waived with cleaning) |
| Standard vent cleaning | $120-$180 |
| Roof-vent access add-on | $50-$100 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Brownsburg?
Every year for a two-story home with a roof vent, every two years for a ground-floor short run. Brownsburg’s agricultural dust shortens that interval, especially during fall harvest. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
Is a clogged dryer vent really dangerous?
Yes. Lint is highly flammable, and restricted airflow raises dryer temperature. The U.S. Fire Administration reports thousands of dryer fires annually across the country. We document airflow before and after so you know the vent actually moves air.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Brownsburg
Duct repair in Brownsburg usually means fixing builder-era gaps, disconnected flex runs, and crushed sections in attics and crawl spaces. The post-2000 construction boom here was fast, and the sealing was often nothing more than tape that has since dried and peeled. That means conditioned air bleeds into unconditioned spaces, rooms stay uneven, and the system works harder than it should. The full service breakdown lives on our Duct Repair & Sealing page.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Some rooms are consistently warmer or cooler than others, or your utility bills run high compared to similar Brownsburg homes.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Duct sealing in Brownsburg runs $500-$1,220, depending on system size and access.
How we do it
We locate leaks with a pressure test or camera inspection, then seal every accessible joint with mastic and metal-backed tape, not the cheap stuff the builder used.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You can see kinked, sagging, or disconnected flex runs in your attic, or one room barely gets airflow.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Flex duct repair or replacement costs $330-$540 for a typical Brownsburg attic run.
How we do it
We replace crushed or separated flex with correctly sized R-6 or R-8 insulated flex, stretch it properly to prevent kinks, and seal both ends with mastic.
Metal Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You hear rattling from metal ductwork, see rust or corrosion at joints, or find sections that have pulled apart in unconditioned spaces.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Metal duct repair in Brownsburg ranges from $380-$675, depending on how much section work is needed.
How we do it
We re-align separated sections, patch rusted areas, replace damaged hangers, and seal every repaired joint with mastic for a permanent fix.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Ducts in an unconditioned attic feel cold in winter or sweat with condensation in Brownsburg’s humid summer months.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Duct insulation on existing metal or flex runs runs $400-$910, depending on duct size and attic access.
How we do it
We wrap exposed ductwork in the correct insulation thickness, seal the seams, and verify surface temperatures before and after with an infrared thermometer.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
Existing duct tape is peeling or brittle, or you can feel air escaping at visible joints near the plenum.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Mastic sealing as a targeted job costs $300-$620 in Brownsburg, depending on how many joints need work.
How we do it
We remove failed tape, brush on mastic sealant at every accessible joint, and let it cure to a hard, durable seal that won’t peel like tape.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Brownsburg
| Item | Typical range in Brownsburg |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing | $500-$1,220 |
| Flex duct repair | $330-$540 |
| Duct insulation | $400-$910 |
How do I know my ducts are actually leaking in Brownsburg?
A pressure test or camera inspection shows it directly. We photograph the gaps, seal them, and photograph the finished work. You see the leak, the fix, and the clean result. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Will sealing ducts in a Brownsburg home really lower my bills?
If your ducts leak into an unconditioned attic, every conditioned cubic foot lost is money leaving the house. Sealing returns that supply air to the right rooms, and most Brownsburg tract homes show measurable improvement immediately.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Brownsburg
Air quality work in Brownsburg is largely about what got built into the house in the first place: drywall dust, insulation fibers, and joint compound residue trapped in ducts and plenum boxes since construction. The humid summers then add condensation in unconditioned attic runs, which creates conditions for mold. Sanitizing the system after a proper cleaning is the step that keeps everything from returning. For the complete scope of the service, including equipment details, see Air Quality & Sanitizing.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible fungal growth on duct surfaces, a persistent earthy smell from vents, or family members with worsening respiratory symptoms at home.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Mold treatment in Brownsburg runs $800-$1,950, depending on affected area and whether any duct material needs replacement.
How we do it
We photograph the affected surfaces, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial, and replace any porous material that cannot be effectively treated.
Bacteria Sanitizing
Signs you need it
Persistent stale or sour odors from vents, especially after a period of high humidity or a condensate drain overflow.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Bacteria sanitizing on a typical Brownsburg system runs $550-$950.
How we do it
We fog the duct interior and coil surfaces with an EPA-registered sanitizer after cleaning, targeting the biofilm that causes odor and respiratory irritation.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Smells from cooking, pets, or previous occupants persist even after cleaning and airing out the home.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Odor removal in Brownsburg costs $300-$700, depending on system size and odor source.
How we do it
We identify the odor source with a camera inspection, remove the source material, then apply an odor-neutralizing treatment throughout the duct system.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold or bacterial growth on the evaporator coil, or a household where respiratory health is a top concern.
What it costs in Brownsburg
UV light installation in Brownsburg runs $800-$1,450, including the UV-C unit and installation.
How we do it
We install a UV-C light in the supply plenum aimed at the coil, where it works continuously to prevent microbial growth on the wet coil surface.
Air Purifier Install
Signs you need it
Family members have allergies, asthma, or chronic sinus issues, and you want whole-home filtration beyond a basic 1-inch filter.
What it costs in Brownsburg
Air purifier installation in Brownsburg runs $550-$950, depending on the unit and duct modifications.
How we do it
We install a media-based purifier at the return-air plenum, verify airflow and static pressure, and leave you with the manufacturer’s replacement filter schedule.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Brownsburg
| Item | Typical range in Brownsburg |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $800-$1,950 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $550-$950 |
| UV light installation | $800-$1,450 |
Does sanitizing really matter after a duct cleaning in Brownsburg?
Yes. Cleaning removes the debris; sanitizing addresses the microscopic material left behind. In Brownsburg’s humid summers, anything left on a cool duct surface invites regrowth. We document both steps. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
Will a UV light damage my furnace or ducts?
UV-C light installed in the supply plenum, aimed at the coil, does not damage metal ductwork or the furnace. The installation is sealed so no light escapes into living spaces, and we verify it operates correctly before leaving.
