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 Irving, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Irving is a matter of fire prevention first and efficiency second, because the city’s dense belt of 1950s-1970s tract homes in North and West Irving still run original dryer exhaust runs that were never designed for today’s high-volume laundry loads. Clay-soil movement over decades has shifted many of those walls just enough to kink or partially disconnect vent joints behind the drywall. We see lint accumulation at those offset joints on a regular basis. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any panel comes off.
Why Irving Homes Are Different
Irving’s housing stock splits into two very different worlds, and each creates its own duct problems. The 1950s-1970s tract neighborhoods across North and West Irving still carry a lot of original galvanized ductwork and early flex runs. Galvanized seams pop under the humidity swings and foundation movement this clay soil produces, which pulls attic dust and loose insulation into the airstream. Over in Las Colinas, the 1980s-1990s condo and mid-rise inventory has its own signature: central systems that run nearly continuously from May through September, cooking airborne dust onto blower wheels and evaporator coils. Add the spring pollen load that hits Irving hard, and the return registers in both housing classes pull mountain cedar, oak, and grass particulate through the system every time windows open. The result is the same in a 1962 ranch as in a 1994 Las Colinas condo: ductwork that moves air far dirtier than the filter suggests.
Our Main Irving Services
Most Irving homeowners reach out to us for one of two jobs. Here’s what each looks like in this city.
Air Duct Cleaning in Irving
Air duct cleaning in Irving means addressing what continuous AC runtime deposits inside the duct runs from May through September: a compressed layer of dust, skin cells, and pollen that a standard filter never catches. In Las Colinas offices and condos, the plenum boxes above the ceiling are the worst offenders; we regularly find 20-plus years of dust cake on supply diffusers before a single brush goes in. Air Duct Cleaning in Irving is documented end to end, so you see the before and after for every run.
HVAC Cleaning in Irving
HVAC cleaning in Irving targets the blower wheel, evaporator coil, and housing that sit upstream of the ductwork itself. North Texas AC systems run so hard through summer that these components pick up a wet, compacted debris layer that reduces airflow and stresses the compressor. Homes under DFW International Airport’s flight paths also pull jet-exhaust particulate through the return side. HVAC Cleaning in Irving starts with a written scope and a camera inspection of the coil and blower.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Irving
Dryer vent cleaning in Irving is the single highest-value fire-prevention service most homeowners in this city can buy, and the reason is the housing stock. Homes built in the 1950s-1970s across North Irving and West Irving often have original 4-inch round metal vent runs that have been in place for half a century or more. Those runs were sized for dryers of the era, and the constant heat cycling, combined with the lint those older runs accumulate, makes a clogged, kinked, or disconnected vent more common than homeowners expect. That’s why we document every vent run before and after with a photo record. For more on this service, see Dryer Vent Cleaning.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
If your dryer is taking longer than about 45 minutes to dry a standard load, the vent is restricted somewhere, even if the lint trap is clean.
What it costs in Irving
A dryer vent inspection in Irving typically runs $75-$150 as a standalone visit, and it’s credited toward the cleaning if you proceed that day.
How we do it
We run a camera scope from the dryer collar to the exterior cap and check every joint, offset, and transition point for lint blockages, disconnection, or animal intrusion.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
A musty or burning smell when the dryer runs usually means lint is sitting against a hot surface somewhere in the run.
What it costs in Irving
Full dryer vent cleaning in Irving typically runs $110-$210 depending on run length and access.
How we do it
We run a rotating brush under negative pressure from the dryer collar to the exterior termination, then verify the full diameter with the camera scope.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
Visible lint blowing from the exterior vent cap or a dryer that shuts itself off mid-cycle points to a heavy lint blockage.
What it costs in Irving
Lint removal in Irving typically runs $110-$210 when combined with a full vent cleaning.
How we do it
We extract lint buildup with a HEPA-filtered negative air machine, then hand-clear the exterior termination and cap.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
A vent run longer than 25 feet, or one with multiple elbows, is working against the dryer’s exhaust fan and accumulating lint faster than it should.
What it costs in Irving
Vent rerouting in Irving typically runs $190-$380 depending on the new path and the framing involved.
How we do it
We shorten and straighten the run to code-compliant length, replace all connecting joints, and verify airflow with an anemometer before we leave.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
Nesting material, droppings, or chirping at the exterior vent cap means birds have gotten past a missing or damaged bird guard.
What it costs in Irving
Bird guard installation in Irving typically runs $60-$120 including the new cap.
How we do it
We remove the old cap, clear the nesting material, install a louvered or screened cap sized for your vent, and secure it against the exterior wall.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $75-$150 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $110-$210 |
| Vent rerouting | $190-$380 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Irving?
Every 12 months for a household that runs 4 or more loads per week. Older North Irving homes with original vent runs and longer exhaust paths often need it more often.
Can you clean the vent if the dryer is upstairs?
Yes. We clean vertical runs from the roof or exterior wall termination back to the dryer collar, and we document the full path with the camera scope.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Irving
Duct repair and sealing in Irving addresses what the city’s clay soil and humidity swings do to duct joints over time. Original galvanized ducts in 1950s-1970s tract homes across North and West Irving develop separated seams and popped connections that leak conditioned air straight into the attic. That means your system is paying to cool the roof, not the living room. We document every repair with before and after photos of the actual joint, seam, or run. For more detail on this work, see Duct Repair & Sealing.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms that never reach the same temperature as the rest of the house, or a dust layer that returns within days of cleaning, often point to duct leaks pulling attic air into the supply side.
What it costs in Irving
Duct sealing in Irving typically runs $350-$750 for an average single-zone home, depending on how many joints and seams need work.
How we do it
We locate leaks with a pressure test or visual inspection, then seal each failing joint with mastic or UL-181-rated tape and re-test the system.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
A kinked, sagging, or torn flex run in the attic is visibly reducing airflow to one area, and the registers in that zone are blowing noticeably weaker air.
What it costs in Irving
Flex duct repair in Irving typically runs $180-$380 per run depending on the length and whether we’re repairing or replacing the section.
How we do it
We replace the damaged section of flex, pull it to the correct tension without kinks, seal both ends with mastic, and secure the hangers.
Metal Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Visible rust, separated seams, or a crushed section on a galvanized trunk line means the metal itself has failed and needs section replacement.
What it costs in Irving
Metal duct repair in Irving typically runs $250-$550 per section depending on gauge and access.
How we do it
We cut out the failed section, match the gauge and dimensions, and seam the new piece in with mechanical fasteners plus mastic.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Sweating ducts in the attic, or a supply temperature that climbs several degrees between the air handler and the register, means the insulation wrap has failed or was never adequate.
What it costs in Irving
Duct insulation in Irving typically runs $200-$500 per run depending on length and existing wrap condition.
How we do it
We strip the failed wrap, inspect the duct for hidden leaks, then wrap the run with coded R-value insulation and seal the seams.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
Handprints of dust around duct joints, or a visible gap where a branch line meets the trunk, means the joint is leaking and needs a proper mastic seal.
What it costs in Irving
Mastic sealing in Irving typically runs $300-$650 for a full single-zone system depending on accessible joint count.
How we do it
We brush mastic into each joint and seam to full coverage, let it cure, then re-check the repair with a smoke test or photo documentation.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing | $350-$750 |
| Flex duct repair | $180-$380 per run |
| Mastic sealant | $300-$650 |
How do I know if my ducts are leaking?
A room-by-room temperature difference of more than a few degrees, dust returning days after cleaning, or an unusual spike in cooling bills all point to duct leakage, and we can locate the leaks with a pressure test.
Can you seal only part of the system?
Yes. We scope the affected area and write the price for only the joints, seams, or runs that need it, with photo documentation of each one before we start.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Irving
Air quality and sanitizing in Irving has to account for a climate that keeps AC systems running nearly nonstop from May through September, which concentrates whatever is in the airstream into the coil and supply runs. Homes under DFW International Airport’s flight paths also contend with jet-exhaust particulate settling into return ductwork. The result is a system that recirculates a stale, sometimes musty airstream long after the filters are changed. We address that with documented, testable sanitizing methods, not a fog-and-go. For more detail on this work, see Air Quality & Sanitizing.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
A persistent musty smell from the registers, especially after rain or high humidity, or visible microbial growth inside the duct liner, means the system needs professional mold treatment.
What it costs in Irving
Mold treatment in Irving typically runs $450-$900 depending on the affected area and whether the coil, blower, or duct liner is involved.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to the affected surfaces after removing the visible growth, then document the treated areas with photos.
Bacteria Sanitizing
Signs you need it
Recurring allergy symptoms that spike when the AC runs, or a sour odor from the supply registers, suggest bacteria colonized the coil or drain pan.
What it costs in Irving
Bacteria sanitizing in Irving typically runs $300-$600 for the coil, blower, and accessible duct surfaces.
How we do it
We fog or mist an EPA-registered sanitizer through the running system, focusing on the coil and blower housing, and verify coverage afterward.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Smoke, pet, or cooking odors that return every time the blower runs have soaked into the duct liner or blower housing and need more than a filter change.
What it costs in Irving
Odor removal in Irving typically runs $250-$500 depending on the source and whether thermal fogging is required.
How we do it
We identify the odor source with a camera scope, clean the affected surfaces, then apply an odor-neutralizing agent or thermal fog if needed.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated coil contamination or microbial growth despite cleaning means the system needs a permanent UV treatment at the coil to prevent recurrence.
What it costs in Irving
UV light installation in Irving typically runs $450-$850 for the unit and labor, depending on the coil size and power requirement.
How we do it
We mount the UV lamp upstream of the coil, wire it to an always-on circuit, and verify the lamp’s output with a meter before we leave.
Air Purifier Install
Signs you need it
If household members have documented allergies or respiratory conditions, an in-duct purifier provides continuous filtration beyond what a 1-inch filter can deliver.
What it costs in Irving
Air purifier installation in Irving typically runs $600-$1,200 depending on the unit type and whether it’s a bypass or full-inline model.
How we do it
We install the purifier in the supply plenum, wire it to the blower circuit, and replace the filter to the unit’s specification.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $450-$900 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $300-$600 |
| UV light installation | $450-$850 |
Will sanitizing remove all mold from my ducts?
We remove the visible growth and treat the affected surfaces with an EPA-registered antimicrobial. We document the before and after, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work in writing.
Do I need UV lights in my Irving home?
If you have had repeat coil contamination or live in a home where the AC runs most of the year, a UV lamp at the coil prevents regrowth. We’ll scope and quote only if the inspection supports it.
