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 Round Rock, TX
Dryer vent cleaning in Round Rock is not a courtesy call. It is what stands between a standard laundry cycle and a lint fire that starts inside a wall cavity. The tract homes across Teravista, Forest Creek, and Chandler Creek were built between the mid-1990s and 2010s, meaning thousands of dryer ducts are now 15 to 30 years old. In a city where the AC runs eight to nine months a year and the air is loaded with Ashe juniper pollen from December through February, dryer vents collect more than lint. They collect fine dust, pollen, and pet hair in layers that compress under heat and humidity. Call (806) 606-6902 and we will tell you what a documented cleaning and photo record looks like before anyone touches the vent.
Why Round Rock Homes Are Different
Round Rock’s growth came fast. Dell Technologies anchored the city in the 1990s, and the housing stock followed: wood-frame, slab-foundation tract homes with flexible ductwork routed through unconditioned attics. Those attic cavities routinely exceed 140°F in July and August. Flex duct liners do not stay intact under that kind of thermal cycling forever. The inner liner delaminates, joints gap open, and the duct system starts pulling attic air, fiberglass particles, and blown-in insulation into the living space. That is a duct repair issue. It is also an air quality issue. And in Round Rock, it shows up neighborhood by neighborhood, because entire subdivisions were built in the same three-year window with the same materials.
The second thing Round Rock brings is cedar fever. The Ashe juniper belt runs straight through Williamson County. During peak pollen season, ultra-fine juniper pollen defeats standard one-inch filters and settles deep in return ducts, return plenums, and evaporator coils. Homeowners who moved here from northern or coastal states often do not know to change filters during the December to February peak. The result is a return duct system packed with fine particulate that basic vacuuming cannot pull out. We find this consistently in Round Rock homes where the previous owner ran the system for years on a single filter.
Our Main Round Rock Services
Most calls from Round Rock homeowners start with one of two problems: visible dust or musty air that points to the ductwork itself, or an HVAC system that runs constantly and still does not cool evenly. These are the two services we route to their own detailed pages.
Air Duct Cleaning in Round Rock
This is the full-system cleaning: return ducts, supply runs, plenums, registers, and the air handler cabinet. In Round Rock tract homes with attic-routed flex duct, we often find a combination of construction debris from the original build, juniper pollen packed into the return side, and dust that has cycled through the system for 20-plus years. We photograph the inside of every accessible duct run before and after, and we deliver that photo record as part of the standard job file. For the full scope, written pricing, and what the documentation includes, see Air Duct Cleaning in Round Rock.
HVAC Cleaning in Round Rock
HVAC cleaning targets the mechanical side: evaporator coil, blower wheel, blower housing, and condensate drain pan. In Round Rock, a blower wheel that has not been cleaned in five to ten years carries a visible coat of dust and pollen that reduces airflow and drives up run times. Cleaning it restores airflow and reduces strain on the system. We document the coil and blower before and after with the same camera standard we use on ductwork. For the full service breakdown and local pricing, see HVAC Cleaning in Round Rock.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Round Rock
Dryer vents in Round Rock fill with lint, but the real problem is what the lint carries with it. The AC system in a Central Texas tract home runs most of the year, which means the dryer pulls air from a house that already has dust and pollen circulating. That fine particulate mixes with lint and pet hair inside the vent run. Over 10 to 20 years, the layers compress. The result is a long-burning blockage that nobody sees because it sits behind drywall or under the slab. This is the direct answer to why dryer vent cleaning is a maintenance item here, not a one-time fix. We offer a full Dryer Vent Cleaning service with everything documented, from the first camera pass to the after photo.
Our standard is a written price before any work starts. The crew photographs the vent run before and after, so you can see what was actually removed. No shop-vac theater. No vague “it was pretty dirty in there.” Just a documented record of the vent as it was and as it is.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
The dryer takes longer than 40 minutes to dry a normal load, or the exterior vent flap barely moves during a cycle.
What it costs in Round Rock
A standard dryer vent cleaning for a single-story Round Rock home with a direct back-to-back vent run typically runs $130 to $220.
How we do it
We run a rotating brush from both the dryer side and the exterior vent, then vacuum the full run and photograph the before and after.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
You can see lint packed around the exterior vent opening, or the laundry room feels hot and humid during a cycle.
What it costs in Round Rock
Lint removal as part of a standard cleaning is included; a heavy blockage requiring additional disassembly typically falls between $160 and $260.
How we do it
We clear the accessible lint, then run the camera to find any compressed blockage mid-run and remove it with the brush and vacuum combination.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Round Rock
| Item | Typical range in Round Rock |
|---|---|
| Standard dryer vent cleaning | $130 - $220 |
| Heavy lint blockage removal | $160 - $260 |
| Bird guard installation | $90 - $160 |
How often should a Round Rock dryer vent be cleaned?
Every 12 to 18 months in Round Rock. The high air volume from year-round AC use combined with cedar pollen means vents load faster here than in cooler climates. Homes with large dogs or multiple daily laundry loads should lean toward annual cleaning. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote.
Do HOA rules in Round Rock affect dryer vent work?
Most Round Rock HOAs in Teravista and Forest Creek do not require approval for cleaning an existing vent. If a reroute or exterior modification is needed, we check the specific HOA language before scheduling. Written pricing still comes first. Call (806) 606-6902.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Round Rock
Duct repair in Round Rock is not an add-on. It is the most common service call we make in neighborhoods built between 1995 and 2010. Those attic-routed flex ducts have spent 20 to 30 years in unconditioned spaces that hit 140°F or more every summer. The inner liners delaminate, the outer jackets tear, and the joints pull apart under thermal expansion. The result is a system that blows conditioned air into the attic and pulls attic air into the house. Every repair we quote includes a written scope and a photo record of the damaged duct before and the sealed duct after. See our full Duct Repair & Sealing service for the complete breakdown.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms on the far side of the house never reach the thermostat temperature, or you find dust accumulating on registers within days of cleaning.
What it costs in Round Rock
Sealing accessible duct joints and seams in a typical Round Rock attic runs $300 to $600, depending on the number of accessible runs.
How we do it
We find the leaks with a pressure test or visual inspection, then apply mastic sealant to every accessible joint and seam.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
A visual inspection shows sagging, crushed, or torn flex duct runs, usually visible from the attic access point.
What it costs in Round Rock
Replacing a damaged flex duct run in a Round Rock attic runs $180 to $380 per run, including the new duct and connections.
How we do it
We remove the damaged run, install a correctly sized replacement, seal all connections with mastic, and photograph the finished work.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Round Rock
| Item | Typical range in Round Rock |
|---|---|
| Accessible duct sealing | $300 - $600 |
| Flex duct replacement (per run) | $180 - $380 |
| Duct insulation repair | $150 - $400 |
Why do so many Round Rock homes need duct repair at the same time?
Because the subdivisions went up in waves. When Forest Creek or Walsh Ranch was built, every house got the same flex duct material installed the same year. Those materials age out together. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Can duct sealing actually lower my AC bill in Round Rock?
Yes. Sealed ducts stop conditioned air from leaking into a 140°F attic. The system reaches the set temperature faster and runs less. We document every leak we seal. Call (806) 606-6902.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Round Rock
Cedar fever is not a marketing term in Round Rock. The Ashe juniper pollen peak from December through February is one of the most intense airborne allergen events in the United States, and it happens to coincide with the time of year when Round Rock homeowners have their windows closed and their HVAC systems recirculating indoor air. Fine juniper particulate passes through standard filters and settles inside return ducts, plenums, and on the coil. Air quality work in Round Rock is not about freshening a smell. It is about removing what is actually in the air path and then treating the surfaces the air moves across. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing work always starts with documentation and a written scope.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You smell a persistent musty odor from the vents that gets stronger when the AC first kicks on, or visible mold appears on registers or inside the plenum.
What it costs in Round Rock
Mold treatment for accessible duct surfaces and the air handler in a Round Rock home runs $450 to $1,200 based on square footage and severity.
How we do it
We clean the affected surfaces, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial, and document the before and after with photos of every treated area.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Odors from pets, cooking, or previous occupants persist even after cleaning and new filters.
What it costs in Round Rock
Whole-system odor removal runs $250 to $600, including coil cleaning and duct treatment.
How we do it
We identify the source, clean the surfaces holding the odor, and treat the duct system with a vaporized deodorizer that does not mask but neutralizes.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Round Rock
| Item | Typical range in Round Rock |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $450 - $1,200 |
| Odor removal | $250 - $600 |
| UV light installation | $700 - $1,800 |
Will sanitizing help with cedar fever in Round Rock?
Sanitizing removes the accumulated pollen and microbial growth inside the ducts, which reduces what the system recirculates. It does not eliminate outdoor pollen, but a clean duct system helps indoor air quality during the December to February peak. Call (806) 606-6902.
Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products applied according to manufacturer specifications. The home is safe to re-enter after the application dries and the system runs a short ventilation cycle. We provide the product name and documentation with the job record. Call (806) 606-6902.

Two things push a Round Rock duct cleaning quote toward the higher end of the range: a vent run that has never been cleaned in a 20-year-old home, and attic access that is tight or partially floored, which slows the work. Regardless of what the final written price is, you receive it before any panel comes off. We do not adjust the number after the work starts. That is Haven Standard Clause 1.
