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 Converse, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Converse handles a specific problem: homes in this city sit in sandy, expansive clay soil that shifts with every wet-dry cycle, and those small foundation movements pull duct connections loose over time. Couple that with a housing stock built largely in the 1980s and 1990s, and you get a market where dryer vents, flex duct, and air quality work all intersect differently than they do in newer subdivisions. We’re CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, and we document every job with before-and-after photos. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work begins.
Why Converse Homes Are Different
Converse is not a generic San Antonio suburb. The neighborhoods around FM 1976 and Rocket Lane tell the story: original tract homes with HVAC systems that have run nearly nonstop for 30 years, tied to flex duct that was never meant to hold up this long. Bexar County’s clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, and that movement tugs at duct collars and joint connections. The result is supply systems that pull attic dust and loose insulation directly into conditioned air. Technicians working near Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph regularly find fiberglass-lined flex duct from the mid-1980s where the inner liner has delaminated and is shedding glass fibers into the airstream. It is not a hypothetical failure mode; it is what we photograph on a routine Tuesday. The mountain cedar season that runs December through February only compounds matters: ultra-fine pollen coats duct interiors during peak heating months, and when the AC kicks back on in March, that pollen recirculates through the house. Converse homes accumulate debris faster than nearly any other market we work in, not because of neglect but because of climate and construction era.
Our Main Converse Services
Most Converse homeowners call us for two things: whole-system air duct cleaning and HVAC cleaning. Both exist as dedicated pages, and we have linked them here.
Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
Whole-system Air Duct Cleaning in Converse is the full negative-pressure extraction of every supply and return run, the plenum, the blower compartment, and the register boots. In Converse, this work frequently reveals what 30 years of near-continuous AC operation leaves behind: construction debris, pet dander, insect casings, and a layer of fine gray dust that starts at the return side and thickens toward the supply registers. We photograph the inside of each run before and after, so you see exactly what was removed. Every job starts with a written price, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies in writing.
HVAC Cleaning in Converse
HVAC Cleaning in Converse goes beyond the ductwork itself into the blower wheel, evaporator coil, drain pan, and housing. In Converse, where AC runs nine to ten months a year, coil fouling is not cosmetic; a dirty evaporator coil raises static pressure and shortens compressor life. We clean the full air handler with HEPA-filtered extraction equipment and document the before-and-after condition of every component. The written scope you receive includes every line item, and no work starts until the price is agreed in writing.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Converse
Dryer vent cleaning in Converse is one of those jobs that shows the difference between a photo and a guess. The roofs here are mostly steep-pitch composition shingle, and most dryer vents terminate through the attic or an exterior wall rather than straight up. In a 1980s rental near Randolph AFB, that vent has likely been through multiple tenants and zero cleanings. Lint builds at every elbow, the run gets longer than it should be, and the dryer starts taking two cycles to dry a load. We clean the full run from dryer connection to exterior termination, and every foot gets photographed. See our Dryer Vent Cleaning service hub for the complete process.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
The dryer takes 60 minutes or more per load, the exterior flap barely opens, or the laundry room feels humid when the dryer runs.
What it costs in Converse
A visual inspection with camera documentation of the full vent run typically starts around $85 in Converse, depending on roof access and run length.
How we do it
We run a camera from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, measure the total run length, and photograph every restriction before touching anything.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
Lint is visible around the exterior vent cap, clothes come out hot and damp, or you have not had the vent cleaned in two or more years.
What it costs in Converse
Full vent cleaning with rotary brush and HEPA extraction runs roughly $190 to $320 in Converse, with the final price written before work starts.
How we do it
We feed a rotary brush through the entire run, agitate the lint off the walls, and pull it out with negative-pressure extraction, then photograph the result.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
The dryer’s lint trap is clean but the machine still overheats or the thermal fuse trips, which points to accumulated lint deeper in the vent run.
What it costs in Converse
Targeted lint removal from a blocked vent run with a camera-verified result lands between $175 and $285 in Converse, depending on access.
How we do it
We clear the restriction with a rotating auger followed by extraction, then send the camera back through to show you the obstruction is gone.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Converse
| Item | Typical range in Converse |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection with camera | $85 - $150 |
| Full vent cleaning (rotary brush + HEPA extraction) | $190 - $320 |
| Lint removal from blocked run (camera-verified) | $175 - $285 |
How often should dryer vents be cleaned in Converse?
Every 12 to 24 months for a household of two or more. In Converse, where clay soil movement can loosen exterior vent connections and introduce dust into the run, an annual check is justified for any dryer that cycles daily.
Will a clean vent actually lower my dryer’s run time?
Yes. A vent restricted by lint forces the dryer’s thermostat to cycle off early, which extends drying time and wastes energy. A clear vent moves the same volume of moist air much faster. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote before any work.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Converse
Duct repair in Converse usually starts with a camera finding a problem that has been there for years. Flex duct from the 1980s and 1990s comes apart at the collar, and once that connection fails, the system pulls unconditioned attic air into the house while leaking conditioned air into the attic. In Converse’s expansive clay soil, foundation movement accelerates those failures. The fix is not always replacement; sometimes a mastic seal and re-fastening restores the run. See our Duct Repair & Sealing service hub for the full scope of repair work we perform.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms stay hot or cold regardless of the thermostat setting, or your utility bill rises without a change in occupancy.
What it costs in Converse
Sealing accessible duct connections with mastic and reinforcing tape runs $95 to $210 per connection in Converse, depending on access and run length.
How we do it
We locate each leak with a pressure test or visual inspection, then seal the joint with mastic and fabric tape before documenting every repair with photos.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You can see a disconnected or crushed flex run in the attic, or you feel weak airflow from multiple registers in the same room.
What it costs in Converse
Replacing or reconnecting a failed flex run in Converse typically runs $180 to $400 per run, with the written price delivered before work starts.
How we do it
We cut out the failed section, install new flex in the correct diameter, seal the connections, and photograph the new run end to end.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Converse
| Item | Typical range in Converse |
|---|---|
| Duct connection sealing (mastic + tape) | $95 - $210 per connection |
| Flex duct replacement or reconnection | $180 - $400 per run |
| Metal duct elbow or collar repair | $150 - $330 |
How much air is my duct system actually losing in Converse?
Studies routinely show 20 to 30 percent air loss in typical duct systems, and in Converse’s clay-shifted houses the number can be higher. A pressure test tells you exactly what yours is losing before any repair begins.
Does duct sealing require replacing all my ductwork in Converse?
No. Most Converse homes need targeted sealing and a few flex runs replaced, not a full system redesign. We tell you in writing what needs to happen. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written evaluation.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Converse
Air quality work in Converse addresses what the camera found after the ducts were cleaned. It is not a mystery product sprayed into the return air in five minutes. When mountain cedar pollen has been cycling through a system for months, or when a long-vacant rental near Randolph AFB shows a biofilm inside the supply plenum, the solution is a measured application of an EPA-registered antimicrobial and a UV system sized to the actual coil dimensions. See our Air Quality & Sanitizing service hub for the full line of air quality work we perform in Converse.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You see dark staining on the inside of a supply register or smell a musty odor that intensifies when the AC runs.
What it costs in Converse
Surface mold treatment of the plenum and accessible ductwork with EPA-registered antimicrobial runs $300 to $650 in Converse, depending on the affected area.
How we do it
We clean the affected surface to remove organic material, apply the antimicrobial, and photograph the treated area before and after.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
A persistent odor returns every time the HVAC fan cycles on, even after the ducts were cleaned.
What it costs in Converse
Whole-system odor removal using thermal fogging or activated oxygen treatment runs $250 to $500 in Converse, depending on square footage and severity.
How we do it
We treat the full duct system and coil with an odor-neutralizing agent, then run the system to distribute it and document the result.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Converse
| Item | Typical range in Converse |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (plenum + accessible ducts) | $300 - $650 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (full system fog) | $275 - $550 |
| Odor removal (thermal fogging) | $250 - $500 |
Will sanitizing my ducts remove the cedar smell in my Converse home?
Cedar pollen itself does not have a strong odor, but the dust it binds to can. Sanitizing addresses the organic material on duct surfaces; removing the accumulated pollen requires the duct cleaning first. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule both.
Is the antimicrobial you use safe for my family and pets in Converse?
We use EPA-registered products applied per label instructions, with the system turned off during application and a brief dwell time before ventilation. The written scope includes the exact product name and SDS.
