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 University Park, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in University Park handles a very specific problem: decades of lint packed into vents that run through CBS walls and scorching attic spaces above FIU-adjacent rental homes. We work on 1960s and 1970s concrete-block houses where dryer ducts were never rerouted since installation, and the humidity here turns every lint clog into a mold host within weeks. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before anything comes apart.
Why University Park Homes Are Different
University Park sits in western Miami-Dade where dew points stay above 70°F for roughly six months a year. That means the air inside your ductwork is never actually dry. Pair that with housing stock dominated by CBS construction from the mid-1960s through mid-1980s, and you get a pattern we see on nearly every job: flex duct and early fiberglass-lined sheet metal running through attics that hit 140 to 150°F in summer. The fiberglass liner breaks down, the flex duct sags and tears, and the persistent moisture does the rest. Many of these homes shifted to rental status serving the FIU student population, and tenant turnover means duct systems rarely get scheduled maintenance. We find return-air grilles packed with layers of tenant-era debris: takeout menus, party flyers, pet dander compacted against the grille face. A homeowner in Doral might have a dirty duct. A homeowner in University Park has a duct system that has been quietly accumulating biology for thirty years.
Our Main University Park Services
University Park homeowners call us most about two things: full air duct cleaning and HVAC system cleaning. Here is what each involves in this city.
Air Duct Cleaning in University Park
Full duct cleaning in University Park means pulling the register covers, running a camera through every accessible run, and then using negative-pressure extraction to pull out what the camera found. In these older CBS homes, that often includes fiberglass liner fragments, construction debris from original build, and biological growth at the plenum joints where condensation collects. We photograph every run before and after so you can see what was actually removed. Air Duct Cleaning in University Park covers the full scope, pricing, and what to expect from a full-system job.
HVAC Cleaning in University Park
The evaporator coil and blower assembly in University Park HVAC systems run almost continuously from May through October. That means the coil becomes a wet filter for whatever is moving through the ductwork. Cleaning the coil, blower wheel, and drain pan is a separate job from cleaning the ducts, and skipping it means the system re-contaminates within weeks. We clean the components with professional-grade equipment and document the before and after. HVAC Cleaning in University Park details the components, the process, and the price ranges.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in University Park
Dryer vent cleaning in University Park is the service we recommend most often, because the combination of long vent runs through hot CBS walls and persistent humidity here creates clogs faster than almost anywhere else in Miami-Dade. A vent that would take five years to clog in a newer wood-frame house in Dallas can become a fire hazard in three years here. We run a camera down the vent, document the obstruction, and remove it with rotary brush and negative-pressure extraction. See Dryer Vent Cleaning for the full service breakdown.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Dryer takes two cycles to dry a load, the laundry room gets hot, or you smell a musty odor when the dryer runs.
What it costs in University Park
A camera inspection of the vent run typically costs $75 to $150, credited toward cleaning if you proceed.
How we do it
We disconnect the dryer, run a camera from both ends, and show you the footage before recommending a fix.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
You can’t remember the last time the vent was cleaned, or the exterior vent flap doesn’t open fully during a cycle.
What it costs in University Park
A standard University Park dryer vent cleaning runs $130 to $220 depending on vent length and access.
How we do it
Rotary brush runs the full vent length while a HEPA-filtered vacuum pulls loosened debris out at the wall.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
Lint is visible at the exterior vent, or the dryer smells hot even mid-cycle.
What it costs in University Park
Heavy lint removal in long or multi-elbow University Park vents ranges from $160 to $250.
How we do it
We remove compacted lint layers with stiff brushes, then run the rotary head to clear the walls completely.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The vent run exceeds 25 feet, has multiple elbows, or passes through a space you can’t access for maintenance.
What it costs in University Park
Rerouting a University Park dryer vent typically costs $300 to $550 depending on new route and wall type.
How we do it
We plan the shortest code-compliant path, cut new openings, run rigid duct, and seal with mastic at every joint.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or scratching near the vent, or nesting material is visible at the exterior opening.
What it costs in University Park
Bird guard installation on an existing University Park vent costs $85 to $150 including the guard.
How we do it
We remove nesting material, clean the vent, and mount a stainless steel guard that lets air out and keeps wildlife out.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in University Park
| Item | Typical range in University Park |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $75 - $150 |
| Standard vent cleaning | $130 - $220 |
| Heavy lint removal | $160 - $250 |
| Vent rerouting | $300 - $550 |
How often should I clean my dryer vent in University Park?
Every 12 months minimum. The humidity and rental turnover patterns in University Park mean lint compacts faster, and we routinely pull 3 to 5 pounds of debris from vents that were cleaned two years ago. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Does a clogged dryer vent really cause fires?
Yes. Lint is the ignition source in roughly a third of dryer fires, and a blocked vent raises the dryer’s internal temperature enough to ignite compacted lint. In University Park’s hot CBS walls, that heat has nowhere to dissipate. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection.
Duct Repair & Sealing in University Park
Duct repair and sealing in University Park addresses two failures we see constantly in 1960s to 1980s CBS construction: fiberglass liner deterioration inside sheet metal ducts, and flex duct that has been crushed or torn in attic spaces that regularly exceed 140°F. Every joint, seam, and elbow is a potential leak point, and in this humidity, a leak means conditioned air pouring into an unconditioned attic while pulling humid outdoor air into the system. We locate every leak with a camera and pressure testing, then seal with mastic or replace the damaged run. Duct Repair & Sealing covers the full repair scope and what a sealed system should deliver.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Some rooms never reach the thermostat setting, or your electric bill climbs every summer while the AC runs longer.
What it costs in University Park
Sealing accessible University Park duct joints and seams typically runs $400 to $800 depending on system size.
How we do it
We locate leaks with a pressure test, then apply mastic at every joint, seam, and takeoff and document each one.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
A room below a duct run stays warm, or you see crushed or sagging flex duct in the attic access opening.
What it costs in University Park
Repairing or replacing a damaged flex duct run in University Park runs $220 to $450 per run.
How we do it
We replace torn or collapsed flex duct with R-8 insulated duct, stretch it properly, and seal both ends with mastic.
Metal Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You see rust-colored stains at register faces, or a duct run in the attic is visibly separated at a joint.
What it costs in University Park
Metal duct repair in University Park typically costs $300 to $600 per section depending on access and damage.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section, fabricate a replacement, and seal the new joints with mastic and foil tape rated for ductwork.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Condensation beads form on duct surfaces in the attic, or the air at the register feels warmer than it should in summer.
What it costs in University Park
Insulating accessible University Park attic ductwork runs $700 to $1,400 for a typical single-family system.
How we do it
We wrap exterior duct surfaces with fiberglass insulation rated for attic conditions and seal the vapor barrier.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in University Park
| Item | Typical range in University Park |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing | $400 - $800 |
| Flex duct repair (per run) | $220 - $450 |
| Metal duct repair (per section) | $300 - $600 |
| Duct insulation | $700 - $1,400 |
Why does University Park housing leak so much duct air?
Fiberglass liner inside sheet metal ducts breaks down from heat and humidity. In University Park’s 140°F attics, that liner fails faster, and the seams it protected begin leaking. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote on sealing.
Can I seal my own ducts in University Park?
You can, but locating every leak requires pressure testing, and mastic application on a hot attic ceiling is not a weekend job. A missed leak in this humidity means mold at the next joint. Call (806) 606-6902 to get a written scope.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in University Park
Air quality and sanitizing in University Park handles what duct cleaning alone cannot: the biological load that grows on wet coil surfaces, inside plenums, and across fiberglass liner in homes where humidity never lets up. The mold-loading combination here comes from six months of 70°F+ dew points against cool duct surfaces in unconditioned attics. We treat the system with professional-grade antimicrobials applied after mechanical cleaning, and we photograph the surfaces before and after so you can see the difference. Air Quality & Sanitizing covers the full sanitizing scope and pricing.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty smell when the AC runs, dark staining visible at supply registers, or family members with unexplained respiratory irritation.
What it costs in University Park
Mold treatment for a University Park duct system typically runs $850 to $1,600 depending on affected surface area.
How we do it
We mechanically remove surface growth, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to duct interiors, and document the results with photos.
Bacteria Sanitizing
Signs you need it
Odor that returns within days of cleaning, or a household illness that keeps cycling through the family.
What it costs in University Park
Bacteria sanitizing in University Park runs $400 to $800 for a full system application.
How we do it
We fog the ductwork and plenums with a sanitizing agent after cleaning, then run the blower to distribute and dry.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Cooking, pet, or tenant-era odors that return whenever the HVAC runs, even after duct cleaning.
What it costs in University Park
Odor removal for a University Park system costs $300 to $600 depending on source and system size.
How we do it
We identify the odor source with a camera inspection, clean the affected surfaces, and apply an odor-neutralizing treatment.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring biological growth on the coil despite cleaning, or a household member with mold sensitivity.
What it costs in University Park
UV light installation on a University Park HVAC system ranges from $650 to $1,100 including the unit and labor.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp at the coil face where it prevents growth on the wettest surface in the system.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in University Park
| Item | Typical range in University Park |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $850 - $1,600 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $400 - $800 |
| Odor removal | $300 - $600 |
| UV light installation | $650 - $1,100 |
Does sanitizing kill mold in University Park ducts?
Sanitizing kills surface growth and prevents regrowth for a period, but it does not address the moisture source. In University Park’s humidity, that means sealing leaks and insulating ducts matters as much as the antimicrobial. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written recommendation.
How do I know the sanitizing actually worked?
Our photo record shows the duct surfaces before and after treatment. We photograph every treated run with the camera used for the initial inspection. Call (806) 606-6902 to get a written scope.
