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 Pflugerville, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Pflugerville is not a once-a-decade courtesy call. The city’s tract-home housing stock, most of it built between 1995 and 2015, routes dryer exhaust through long flex-duct runs that bake in 140°F attics every summer. That heat bakes lint into a hard, adhered layer that a standard vacuum pass cannot remove. We document every vent with before-and-after photos, and our written price is set before a single panel comes off. Call (806) 606-6902 when you want the number up front.
Why Pflugerville Homes Are Different
Most homes in Pflugerville share a build pattern that makes ductwork vulnerable in ways older cities never experience. The overwhelming majority of the housing stock is slab-on-grade tract construction from volume builders like DR Horton and Centex, concentrated in master-planned communities such as Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk. These homes are now 15 to 25 years old and still running their original flex-duct networks, which were routed through unconditioned attics where summer temperatures routinely reach 140°F to 160°F. That heat degrades mastic and foil tape at every joint, and the result is a system quietly pulling blown-in fiberglass insulation particles and attic dust into the airstream.
Layered on top of the heat is the Blackland Prairie’s expansive clay soil. Pflugerville sits on a soil type that swells and contracts dramatically with moisture, causing repeated slab movement. Technicians working Falcon Pointe, Blackhawk, and similar subdivisions consistently find flexible duct boots pulled partially loose where supply lines connect to ceiling registers. The clamps fail from attic heat; the slab shifts under the clay; and conditioned air mixes with attic debris for years before anyone notices. Add cedar fever season, when Ashe juniper produces some of the highest airborne pollen concentrations in North America from December through February, and you have duct interiors packed with allergen-laden particulate just as residents seal their homes and run HVAC systems at full capacity.
This is a failure mode arriving all at once across entire Pflugerville subdivisions built in the same three-to-five-year windows. When we inspect one home in a neighborhood, we usually know what the next three will show.
Our Main Pflugerville Services
Two services produce the majority of calls we receive from Pflugerville homeowners: full air duct cleaning and full HVAC system cleaning. Both address the attic heat, clay soil, and cedar pollen problems described above, and both end with a documented photo record of every duct run.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville
Air duct cleaning in Pflugerville means removing the years of blown-in insulation fibers, cedar pollen, and attic dust that have accumulated in flex-duct runs since a home was built. We photograph the inside of every run before starting and after finishing, so the work is visible on paper. Homes in Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk tend to show a specific pattern: the worst buildup sits at the first elbow after the plenum, where airflow slows and particulate drops out. Our equipment includes Rotobrush and Nikro negative-pressure extraction systems, and the written price covers the whole system, not a per-vent teaser. Read the full scope here: Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville.
HVAC Cleaning in Pflugerville
HVAC cleaning in Pflugerville goes beyond the duct runs to the components that move air: the blower wheel, evaporator coil, plenum, and return air chamber. In Pflugerville’s humid summers, a poorly sealed return can pull attic air with enough moisture to foster mold growth on the coil. We document the condition of each component with photos before and after, and every job includes a written scope and a 365-Day Done Right Promise. This is the service for homeowners who want the entire air path cleaned, not just the branch ducts. Details are on the dedicated page: HVAC Cleaning in Pflugerville.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Pflugerville
Dryer vent cleaning in Pflugerville has to account for two realities: long attic-routed exhaust runs and summer heat that bakes lint into a hard, adhered layer. Most Pflugerville laundry rooms sit on an exterior wall, but the vent path often rises through the attic to a roof cap, adding 15 to 25 feet of run that accumulates lint, dust, and occasionally bird nesting material from the surrounding neighborhoods. We approach every Dryer Vent Cleaning job with the expectation that this home’s vent has never been opened since it was built. The heat in a Pflugerville attic transforms soft, fluffy lint into a crust that a standard shop vac will not dislodge. Our process uses professional-grade Guardsman brushes and rotational agitation to break that crust and extract it under negative pressure, leaving a documented photo record inside the vent.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Your dryer takes two cycles to dry one load, the exterior vent flap barely opens while the machine runs, or laundry smells musty after drying even though it just came out of the wash.
What it costs in Pflugerville
A standalone dryer vent inspection in Pflugerville typically runs $79-$149, and if we do the cleaning during the same visit, the inspection fee is waived.
How we do it
We disconnect the dryer, run a camera through the full vent from the laundry room to the exterior cap, and photograph every restriction we find before quoting a single price.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
There is visible lint or debris around the exterior vent cap, the dryer has not been cleaned in over a year, or you notice a burning smell when the dryer runs.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Full dryer vent cleaning in Pflugerville typically runs $139-$249, depending on vent length and the amount of blockage; the price covers the entire vent from dryer to exterior cap.
How we do it
We run a rotating Guardsman brush through the full vent run with negative-pressure collection at the wall port, then photograph the interior before and after so you can see the difference.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
Your dryer’s lint trap is clean, yet the machine still runs hot or shuts off mid-cycle, which means lint has compacted beyond the trap in a location you cannot reach from inside the home.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Targeted lint removal for a severely blocked vent in Pflugerville typically runs $139-$249, matching the full vent cleaning range because the extraction process is the same.
How we do it
We identify the blockage with a camera, then remove it with rotational brushes and high-volume extraction, photographing the spot before and after for the job record.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
Your vent runs through an attic or unheated space where condensation builds, or it terminates under a porch where the lint blows right back into the siding.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Vent rerouting in Pflugerville typically runs $395-$595, which covers new rigid or flex duct, a new exterior termination point, and sealing of the old opening.
How we do it
We map the shortest code-compliant path to an exterior wall, run rigid metal duct where possible, and seal every connection with mastic, then photograph the new route end to end.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You hear scratching or chirping near the roof vent cap, find nesting material around the dryer duct opening, or the dryer has started venting poorly after a spring nesting season.
What it costs in Pflugerville
A bird guard installed on an existing dryer vent cap in Pflugerville typically runs $89-$149, including removal of any nesting material already present in the opening.
How we do it
We remove the existing cap, clear out any nesting debris, fit a stainless or galvanized guard over the opening, and photograph the install from the roof or ladder access.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Pflugerville
| Item | Typical range in Pflugerville |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $79-$149 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $139-$249 |
| Vent rerouting | $395-$595 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Pflugerville?
Every 12 months minimum, or every 6 months if you run the dryer daily or vent through a roof cap in Falcon Pointe or Blackhawk. Long attic runs in Pflugerville trap more lint than short wall-route vents. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
Why do my clothes still smell musty after a dryer vent cleaning?
Because the vent itself is not the only mold source in a Pflugerville laundry room. If the wall cavity behind the dryer has condensation from humid summer air, you may need sanitizing after the vent is cleared. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Pflugerville
Duct repair and sealing in Pflugerville is about closing the gaps that formed when attic heat degraded the original tape and mastic, and when shifting clay soil pulled boots loose at ceiling registers. In homes built between 1995 and 2015, the flexible duct boots where supply lines connect to registers have often pulled partially loose, meaning a significant portion of conditioned air has been mixing with attic insulation debris for years. That is exactly what our Duct Repair & Sealing work corrects. We do not patch and hope. We open every boot, check every collar, and seal every joint properly.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Your rooms heat unevenly, you need to run the AC constantly to hold 78°F, or you find dust collecting on registers within days of cleaning them.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Whole-system duct sealing with mastic in Pflugerville typically runs $1,200-$2,500, depending on square footage and the number of boots and collars that need to be opened and resealed.
How we do it
We open each supply boot, inspect the collar where it meets the ceiling register, apply mastic and new foil tape to every gap, and photograph every joint before and after.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You see flattened or sagging flex runs in the attic, one room never reaches temperature, or a previous inspection found holes and tears.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Replacing a damaged flex duct run in Pflugerville typically runs $300-$600 per run, including new insulated flex, new collars and straps, and mastic at both ends.
How we do it
We remove the failed run, install a new insulated flex duct with proper tension and support straps, seal both collars with mastic, and photograph the finished run from both ends.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Your attic runs are bare or the original insulation has rotted away, causing condensation on the duct exterior and wet spots on ceiling drywall in hot Pflugerville summers.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Re-insulating exposed duct runs in a Pflugerville attic typically runs $400-$900 per major trunk line or $800-$1,800 for a typical 2,000-2,500 sq ft home.
How we do it
We wrap the existing duct in new R-6 or R-8 insulation, tape every seam, secure it with straps, and photograph the finished wrap in place.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Pflugerville
| Item | Typical range in Pflugerville |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing (mastic, whole system) | $1,200-$2,500 |
| Flex duct replacement | $300-$600 per run |
| Duct insulation | $800-$1,800 per home |
Can duct sealing really reduce Pflugerville energy bills?
Yes. When boots have pulled loose, you are paying to cool attic air. Sealing returns and supplies in a Pflugerville tract home typically improves delivered air by 10% to 30%. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
Do I need a permit to repair ductwork in Pflugerville?
Most duct sealing and flex replacement work on existing systems does not require a permit, but rerouting or adding new runs may. We scoped this on every job and include the answer in our written proposal. Call (806) 606-6902 to ask about your specific property.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Pflugerville
Air quality and sanitizing in Pflugerville deals with what duct cleaning removes and what it cannot: mold spores, bacteria, and odor molecules that cling to surfaces in the plenum and coils after years of Central Texas humidity. Pflugerville’s humid summers create condensation risk inside poorly sealed flex ducts, encouraging mold and dust-mite growth that persists year-round. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing process applies professional-grade agents to the interior surfaces of the system after the debris is gone, and documents every step with photos.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You see visible mold growth on register covers or inside duct boots, or you smell a persistent earthy odor that gets stronger when the system runs.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Mold treatment of the duct system in Pflugerville typically runs $600-$1,200, depending on coverage area and severity; this includes a post-treatment inspection and photo record.
How we do it
We clean the affected surfaces to remove organic debris, then apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial fog to the duct interior and photograph the surfaces after treatment.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Your home smells stale or musty even after cleaning, you have recently renovated with paint or flooring, or you notice a lingering pet or smoke scent that HVAC circulation spreads to every room.
What it costs in Pflugerville
Whole-system odor neutralization in Pflugerville typically runs $350-$650, depending on the number of systems and severity of the source.
How we do it
After a deep cleaning, we fog the duct network with a professional odor counteractant and replace the return air filter, then provide a written before-and-after photo record.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
You have recurring mold on the coil or inside the plenum even after cleaning, or your home is sealed tight and you want continuous control at the coil surface.
What it costs in Pflugerville
UV light installation in a Pflugerville HVAC system typically runs $650-$1,200 per system, including the lamp, mounting hardware, and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell UV lamp at the coil and return air opening, wire it to the system so it runs only when the blower runs, and photograph the installed position.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Pflugerville
| Item | Typical range in Pflugerville |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $600-$1,200 |
| Odor removal | $350-$650 |
| UV light installation | $650-$1,200 |
Will sanitizing kill the mold in my Pflugerville ducts for good?
It kills the active growth on accessible surfaces. If moisture returns from a leaking boot or a clogged condensate line in a humid Pflugerville summer, new growth can follow within weeks. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written assessment.
Do I need to leave my home during a sanitizing treatment?
Not usually. The agents we use are designed for HVAC application and mostly dissipate within a few hours. We discuss ventilation and re-entry timing before any work is scheduled, and we put it in writing. Call (806) 606-6902.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Pflugerville
Most Pflugerville HOAs in subdivisions like Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk do not require approval for interior work like duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning. Exterior changes such as a new roof vent cap or a relocated vent termination may need a quick architectural review. We can check your HOA’s posted rules before scheduling. Call (806) 606-6902 with your neighborhood name.
For standard dryer vent cleaning or duct cleaning, three to seven days of lead time is typical. For combined projects like duct sealing plus sanitizing, allow a week to ten days so we can schedule the correct crew and equipment. Call (806) 606-6902 and we will confirm the date in writing.
Yes. Many homes in Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk run the furnace and duct trunk in the attic above the second floor, and our crews work in those spaces daily. The attic access location changes the approach but not the written price. Call (806) 606-6902 for a quote on your specific layout.
