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 Baytown, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Baytown runs $89-$219 for a single vent, and duct repair runs $150-$1,450 depending on what the camera shows. What makes Baytown different is the air itself: the ExxonMobil complex and Ship Channel corridor push petroleum-derived particulates and sulfur compounds into homes, and much of the 1950s-1970s housing stock still runs original sheet-metal ductwork with deteriorating fiberglass liner that holds those contaminants. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Baytown Homes Are Different
Baytown sits directly downwind of one of the densest petrochemical corridors in North America. That’s not background noise for a duct cleaning company; it’s the job. Homes here accumulate industrial fallout inside ductwork that residential dust cleanings in most other cities never encounter. A camera pushed into a Baytown plenum routinely shows petroleum-derived particulates and sulfur-tinged residue layered over standard household lint. That changes what cleaning means and why the before-and-after photo record matters more than the invoice.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Much of Baytown was built during the 1950s-1970s refinery boom: slab-on-grade ranch homes with aging flex duct or original sheet-metal runs wrapped in fiberglass duct liner that has been breaking down for decades. That liner sheds particles directly into airflow and traps industrial contaminants more aggressively than modern duct systems. Add Galveston Bay humidity, AC systems running nearly year-round, and the condensation cycle inside uncleaned ducts, and you get persistent mold and microbial growth conditions that worsen during the long shoulder seasons when units cycle on and off repeatedly.
Hurricane Harvey in 2017 is still a live factor. Many Baytown homes that were gutted and rebuilt kept their original ducting, which sat in floodwater. Owners replaced drywall but not duct runs, and years later they’re circulating mold spores and silt residue through the house. Whether a home went through Harvey remediation is a standard qualifying question on every Baytown job we quote.
Our Main Baytown Services
Most Baytown homeowners call us first about two things: the full air duct cleaning for the whole system, and HVAC cleaning when the coils and blower are the problem. Both are covered below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Baytown
Full-system air duct cleaning in Baytown means running a camera through every duct run, documenting what’s actually inside, then extracting it with negative-pressure equipment, not a shop vac. Given the petrochemical fallout and aging liner issues here, the camera typically shows a 2-3 inch debris build-up at the first elbow. Read the full breakdown at Air Duct Cleaning in Baytown.
HVAC Cleaning in Baytown
HVAC cleaning in Baytown targets the coil, blower, and drain pan, where Galveston Bay humidity breeds microbial growth that moves through the whole system. If your AC runs year-round and the drain pan has standing moisture, the evaporator coil is likely carrying bio-growth into the supply runs. See the full scope at HVAC Cleaning in Baytown.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Baytown
Dryer vent cleaning in Baytown costs $89-$219 for a single vent, depending on run length and blockage. Homes built in the 1950s-1970s boom often have long vent runs through slab foundations or attic spaces, and the same industrial fallout that lands in ductwork also settles in dryer vents, where lint binds to it and forms a dense, flammable plug faster than in drier climates. That’s the core Baytown problem: lint here is stickier, heavier, and faster to build than in most of Texas. We cover the full scope at Dryer Vent Cleaning.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take longer than 45 minutes to dry, or the dryer exterior gets unusually hot to the touch during a cycle.
What it costs in Baytown
A camera inspection of the full vent run typically runs $60-$90, included free with any cleaning job.
How we do it
We push a camera through the entire run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination and photograph every obstruction before touching anything.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The existing vent run exceeds 25 feet, has more than three elbows, or terminates into an attic or crawlspace instead of the exterior.
What it costs in Baytown
A full reroute to meet current code typically runs $240-$650 depending on run length, wall penetrations, and termination type.
How we do it
We map the shortest compliant path to an exterior wall, replace the run with rigid metal duct, seal every joint, and photograph the new termination point.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Baytown
| Item | Typical range in Baytown |
|---|---|
| Single dryer vent cleaning | $89-$219 |
| Camera inspection only | $60-$90 |
| Full vent reroute | $240-$650 |
How often should I clean my dryer vent in Baytown?
Once a year minimum, and every six months if you run more than three dryer loads weekly. Baytown’s industrial air loads lint with particulates that make it denser and stickier than typical household lint, so it builds faster and resists normal airflow longer.
Can you clean a dryer vent that runs through the slab?
Yes, with rotary brush attachments designed for low-clearance slab runs. Most Baytown ranch homes have vents that run under the slab or through foundation channels, and those runs collect lint at the first elbow where the pipe turns upward. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Baytown
Duct repair and sealing in Baytown runs $150-$1,450 depending on what the camera finds: separated flex runs, corroded metal seams, or liner shedding inside original sheet-metal ductwork. The humidity here accelerates rust at every exposed joint, and the constant condensation cycle inside aging ducts means small air leaks become moisture entry points that feed mold. We cover the full scope at Duct Repair & Sealing.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms at the far end of the house never reach the thermostat set point, or dust appears on furniture within a day of cleaning.
What it costs in Baytown
Sealing accessible duct joints with mastic typically runs $180-$350 per system, depending on the number of accessible runs.
How we do it
We locate every leak with a pressure test, apply mastic sealant to each failing joint, and re-test to document the before-and-after airflow difference.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You see disconnected or sagging flex duct in the attic, or airflow from a register suddenly drops to near zero.
What it costs in Baytown
Replacing or reconnecting a single flex run typically runs $150-$450, including new hangers and sealing at both ends.
How we do it
We measure the affected run, remove the damaged section, install new flex duct stretched tight, and photograph the new connection before the hanger goes on.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Baytown
| Item | Typical range in Baytown |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing (per system) | $180-$350 |
| Flex duct repair (single run) | $150-$450 |
| Metal duct repair (section) | $600-$1,450 |
Do I need to replace ductwork after Harvey flood exposure?
If your ducting sat in floodwater and was not replaced, the liner and interior surfaces likely carry mold spores and silt residue. A camera inspection shows the actual condition. Many Baytown homes need liner removal or full run replacement rather than just sealing.
Can you seal ducts without removing walls?
Yes, for accessible runs through attics, crawlspaces, and open chases. We seal from the inside using the access points already available. If a duct is buried in a slab or behind finished walls, we’ll show you the camera footage so you know exactly what’s reachable.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Baytown
Air quality and sanitizing work in Baytown means treating what the cleaning leaves behind: the microbial growth, petroleum residue, and odor compounds that live in the liner and on the coil. Given the sustained humidity and the industrial air coming off the Ship Channel, sanitizing here is often not optional; it’s the difference between a clean duct and a duct that re-contaminates within weeks. We cover the full scope at Air Quality & Sanitizing.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You see dark staining around registers or on the coil access panel, or there’s a persistent musty odor that worsens when the AC runs.
What it costs in Baytown
Mold treatment per system typically runs $450-$850, applied after a full duct cleaning so the treatment reaches the surfaces, not the debris.
How we do it
We photograph the affected areas, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to all accessible duct surfaces and the coil, then dry the system under airflow and re-photograph.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
The evaporator coil shows recurring bio-growth between cleanings, or a household member has persistent respiratory irritation that worsens indoors.
What it costs in Baytown
A coil-mounted UV light typically runs $650-$1,200 installed, depending on the unit and the coil configuration.
How we do it
We mount the UV lamp on the coil housing, wire it to run continuously, and photograph the installation so you can verify placement.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Baytown
| Item | Typical range in Baytown |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (per system) | $450-$850 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $350-$650 |
| UV light installation | $650-$1,200 |
Does sanitizing replace duct cleaning?
No. Sanitizing treats surfaces; it doesn’t remove the debris sitting on them. We always clean first, then sanitize. Applying antimicrobials over a layer of dust and petrochemical residue just seals the problem under a film.
Is UV light worth it in Baytown’s climate?
In a high-humidity, high-contaminant environment like Baytown, a coil-mounted UV light reduces the frequency of bio-growth between cleanings. It’s most effective when the coil is already clean and the duct system is sealed, so we recommend it after cleaning and sealing, not as a standalone fix.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Baytown
Most Baytown jobs are scheduled within three to five business days. We batch appointments by neighborhood to keep travel costs from leaking into the price. Call (806) 606-6902 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail tree.
Duct cleaning and vent cleaning are interior work and don’t require HOA approval anywhere we operate. Rerouting a dryer vent that terminates through an exterior wall may need a quick HOA check if your community regulates exterior penetrations. We’ll flag that before quoting.
Yes, and we treat them differently. For homes that went through Harvey, we start with a camera scope to document what the flood left behind. For non-flood homes, the scope still matters because petrochemical fallout and liner breakdown create their own problems. The written price covers what the camera shows.
