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 Trumbull, CT
Dryer vent cleaning in Trumbull usually runs $89 to $189 for a standard single-story run, and it’s the service that prevents the lint fires and slow-dry cycles we see constantly in 1960s and 70s split-levels around town. Most Trumbull homes were built with central forced air from day one, which means decades of lint, dust, and humid-air residue packed into galvanized ductwork that was never designed for 50-plus years of Fairfield County summers. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before anything comes off the wall.
Why Trumbull Homes Are Different
Trumbull’s residential buildout happened mostly between the late 1950s and the mid-1970s, leaving the town dense with split-levels, raised ranches, and colonials that all share the same mechanical DNA: original forced-air systems routed through unconditioned spaces. Those knee walls, crawl spaces, and utility closets stay damp through the summer because Trumbull sits close enough to Long Island Sound to hold high humidity from June through September. What we find inside those ducts reflects that history. The camera shows spider webs, shedded fiberglass liner from aging insulation, and the fine gray dust that settles in trunk lines over five decades of continuous use.
Spring in Trumbull adds another layer. The town’s dense deciduous canopy produces an intense pollen load every April and May, and return-air filters in these older systems were sized for lower airflow than modern filtration demands. Pollen packs into the return side, compacts against coils, and recirculates through the same duct runs where humidity has already made surfaces tacky. Homeowners in the Nichols and Long Hill areas especially see this pattern in the register dust that reappears within days of cleaning. The combination of old galvanized steel, seasonal moisture, and heavy pollen means a Trumbull duct system rarely looks like its register covers suggest. The main supply trunk in a raised ranch often runs horizontally through a low utility space beneath the main floor, and that’s where we pull out biological contamination from homes that look pristine upstairs.
Our Main Trumbull Services
Most Trumbull homeowners call us first about two things: the full duct cleaning on the original system they’ve lived with since purchase, and the HVAC cleaning tied to coils and blower assemblies that have accumulated decades of residue. Both start with a written scope and price.
Air Duct Cleaning in Trumbull
This is the whole-system job for Trumbull’s aging forced-air stock. We run our negative-pressure extraction equipment through every supply and return run, document the inside of each run before and after, and hand you the photo record when we leave. In homes with unlined galvanized steel, we’re removing 40 to 60 years of dust, construction debris, and often rodent droppings from the low utility runs. See Air Duct Cleaning in Trumbull for the full scope and local pricing.
HVAC Cleaning in Trumbull
HVAC cleaning in Trumbull homes means pulling the blower, cleaning the evaporator coil, and treating the plenum where return air passes before it gets heated or cooled. The humidity from Long Island Sound drives biological growth onto coil fins, and most of these original systems have never had the blower pulled. See HVAC Cleaning in Trumbull for the step-by-step and Trumbull pricing.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Trumbull
Dryer vent cleaning in Trumbull costs $89 to $189 for most single-story runs, and in the town’s 1960s and 70s split-levels that run is often longer than code allows today, snaking from a second-floor laundry closet down through an exterior wall. Lint packs into those elbows and compacts under the heat of regular dryer use, and the humid Trumbull summer turns that lint into a dense, damp plug that both slows drying and holds heat. We clean and document every vent run we touch under our Dryer Vent Cleaning service standard.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take more than one cycle to dry, the dryer feels hot to the touch on the top surface, or you notice a burning smell when the dryer has been running for ten minutes.
What it costs in Trumbull
A Dryer Vent Inspection in Trumbull runs $49 to $99, and we include a camera look at every accessible joint and the exterior termination.
How we do it
We run a camera from the dryer connection to the exterior hood, document each elbow and transition, and show you the stills before we recommend any cleaning.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
You see lint built up around the exterior vent hood, or the flap doesn’t open fully when the dryer is running.
What it costs in Trumbull
Vent cleaning in Trumbull runs $89 to $189 for a standard run, and the price is written before we start, not after we find the problem.
How we do it
We use a rotating brush and high-pressure air to break the lint plug free, then run negative pressure at the exterior hood to pull debris out rather than pushing it into the home.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
You can see lint accumulated inside the dryer drum seal, or the dryer interior smells musty even when empty.
What it costs in Trumbull
Lint removal for the dryer cabinet and internal lint trap housing in Trumbull adds $49 to $79 to the vent cleaning price.
How we do it
We open the lint trap housing, vacuum out the internal cavity below the trap, and clear the blower wheel where lint winds itself tight around the shaft.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Trumbull
| Item | Typical range in Trumbull |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $49 - $99 |
| Standard vent cleaning | $89 - $189 |
| Lint removal (cabinet and blower) | $49 - $79 |
How often should I clean my dryer vent in Trumbull?
Every 12 months for a household running three or more loads weekly, and every 18 months for lighter use. Trumbull’s humid summers compact lint faster than dry-climate homes, and the long runs in split-levels trap more debris.
Do I need a permit for dryer vent cleaning in Trumbull?
No permit is required for cleaning an existing dryer vent. If the run needs rerouting to meet current code, we’ll tell you in writing before any work begins and handle the paperwork with the town.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Trumbull
Duct repair and sealing in Trumbull starts with finding the leaks that have opened in 50-year-old galvanized steel as freeze-thaw cycles stress those original joints. In Trumbull’s split-levels and raised ranches, the main trunk runs through unconditioned utility spaces where gaps pull in crawl space air, bugs, and outdoor moisture every time the blower cycles. Our repair work includes full photo documentation and the written price comes before any panel comes off, under Duct Repair & Sealing service standards.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms at the far end of the house never reach temperature, or you can feel air moving around the seams in the utility space even with the access panel on.
What it costs in Trumbull
Duct sealing in Trumbull runs $400 to $1,100 depending on how many accessible seams and joints need treatment.
How we do it
We apply mastic sealant and foil-backed tape to every accessible joint, then run a pressure test to document the before and after leakage.
Metal Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You can see rust, crushed sections, or separated joints in the exposed trunk line running through your utility area.
What it costs in Trumbull
Metal duct repair in Trumbull runs $250 to $1,700 depending on the length of damaged run and whether we’re patching or replacing sections.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section, fabricate a replacement in the size of your existing run, and mechanically fasten it with sealed joints.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Trumbull
| Item | Typical range in Trumbull |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing (per system) | $400 - $1,100 |
| Metal duct repair | $250 - $1,700 |
| Flex duct repair | $250 - $850 |
How do I know my Trumbull ducts are actually leaking?
We run a camera through the accessible trunk and show you the stills where seams have separated and dust streaks show air movement. If the gaps are small, we’ll show you the pressure reading before and after sealing.
Does duct sealing help with Trumbull’s summer humidity?
Yes. When supply and return runs pull unconditioned air from crawl spaces and utility closets, humidity enters the airstream before it ever reaches the coil. Sealing those gaps cuts the moisture load and keeps the system pulling only interior air.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Trumbull
Air quality and sanitizing in Trumbull addresses what grows inside aging ducts during the town’s humid Fairfield County summers: mold, bacteria, and the odor those organisms leave behind. Homes with original fiberglass liner from the 1960s and 70s are especially prone to shedding particles that look like fine gray dust at the register, and sanitizing after a full cleaning is the step that stops regrowth. We use the products and equipment named on our Air Quality & Sanitizing page, and every job includes a documented photo record of treated surfaces.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You see black or green growth on vent registers or the inside of the trunk line when you remove a register cover.
What it costs in Trumbull
Mold treatment in Trumbull runs $350 to $1,500 depending on the square footage of affected duct surface and whether we’re treating one run or the whole system.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to all accessible interior surfaces, let it dwell, and then dry the system under negative pressure to prevent regrowth.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
You notice a musty smell when the blower kicks on, especially after the system has been off for a few hours.
What it costs in Trumbull
Odor removal in Trumbull runs $175 to $600 depending on whether we’re treating one room’s duct run or the entire house.
How we do it
We locate the source with a camera, clean the affected surfaces, then treat with a commercial-grade deodorizer that binds to residue rather than masking it.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Trumbull
| Item | Typical range in Trumbull |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $350 - $1,500 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $200 - $700 |
| Odor removal | $175 - $600 |
Will sanitizing my Trumbull ducts get rid of the musty smell permanently?
If the source is biological growth on the duct surfaces, yes, the odor will not return as long as the underlying moisture problem is addressed. We’ll show you photos of the treated surfaces so you can see the difference.
Is the sanitizer safe for my family and pets in Trumbull?
We use EPA-registered products applied according to label instructions, and we run the system under negative pressure during application so no product escapes into the living space. The ducts are dry before we leave.

Most Trumbull jobs are scheduled within one to two business days. We coordinate dispatch from our Hartford office and crews work Trumbull routes daily during the spring and fall when local demand peaks.
No. Duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and duct sealing are interior mechanical maintenance and do not require Trumbull HOA approval. Exterior work like a new vent hood termination may require a quick architectural review, and we’ll flag that before we start.
In most cases yes. We access duct runs through existing registers, return grilles, and the utility spaces where the original trunk lines were installed. If a repair requires access behind a finished wall, we’ll show you the written scope and price before cutting anything.

"Flat price agreed up front, no per-vent add-ons at the end. That was the whole reason I did not call the coupon company."
- Suzanne B."The dryer vent was almost completely blocked with lint. They showed me the photograph and I understood immediately why the dryer had been running twice."
- Lucia M."They found a disconnected duct in the crawl space that had been dumping conditioned air under the house for years. Photographed it, quoted the repair, fixed it."
