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 Company in Live Oak, TX
Air duct cleaning in Live Oak, TX usually runs from $299 to $699 for a full standard system, with larger two-story homes landing between $750 and $1,200. Live Oak sits just northeast of San Antonio, so our crews here deal with what most of the I-35 corridor deals with: long allergy seasons, fast-accumulating construction dust, and homes that run their AC hard from April through October. That combination means the ductwork in a typical Live Oak house carries more fine particulate than homeowners expect. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact flat-rate quote before any work begins.
Why Live Oak Homes Are Different
Live Oak’s housing stock splits into two distinct groups, and each one ages into a different kind of ductwork problem. The neighborhoods along Toepperwein Road and Judson Road – Forest Bluff, The Heights, Woodcrest, and the streets west toward Kitty Hawk – are largely built-out subdivisions from the 1970s through the 1990s. Those flexible duct runs have now passed the age where the inner liner stays smooth and the outer insulation stays sealed. We regularly find disintegrated flex duct in these homes, with insulation fibers and years of household dust packed into the interior liner. It is not a cleaning problem alone; it becomes a replacement problem if the liner has split.
Then there is the newer construction from 2010 onward, particularly the dense single-family pockets northeast of Live Oak Park and around the newer subdivisions off Roy Richard Drive. In newer framing, drywall dust gets pulled into the return ducts during the initial build, and much of it stays there long after closing. The soil conditions play a role too: Live Oak sits on clay-heavy ground, and the fine local soil becomes a persistent house dust that the HVAC system keeps circulating.
One more factor is the oak itself. Live Oak has a real tree canopy in its older neighborhoods, and the pollen load each spring from those trees collects in return registers, filters, and the first few feet of the trunk line. Homes in the shaded parts of town tend to run their fans longer during allergy season, which means the ductwork sees more total airflow hours and more dust deposition than you would expect from a city this size.
Our Main Live Oak Services
Homeowners in Live Oak reach out for three jobs more than anything else: full duct cleaning, complete HVAC coil-to-grille cleaning, and dryer vent clearing. Each one has its own Live Oak page with local pricing and what to expect. Here is the short version.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Live Oak
Live Oak homes with upstairs laundry rooms and long horizontal vent runs nearly always have slower-than-expected dry times once the vent fills with lint. The runs in two-story houses here often extend 15 to 25 feet with multiple elbows, which is exactly the setup that fills fastest. We opened up a vent in the Woodcrest area that was down to about 30 percent airflow because the homeowner had never seen a full-length cleaning, only the first couple feet. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Live Oak covers our process, pricing, and why we do not stop at the wall.
Air Duct Cleaning in Live Oak
A full air duct cleaning in Live Oak means every supply and return register gets addressed, the trunk lines and branch runs are cleaned under negative pressure, and the return drop gets the same treatment. Nikro HEPA-filtered extraction is the only way we move air through the system while collecting what the brush loosens. If your home runs its fan constantly during cedar and oak season, the return side of the system will be visibly coated. Air Duct Cleaning in Live Oak has the full pricing table and exactly what a standard job includes.
HVAC Cleaning in Live Oak
HVAC cleaning is the duct job plus the equipment. That means the evaporator coil, the blower wheel and housing, the condensate pan, and the plenum get cleaned along with the duct runs. Live Oak’s hard-water conditions make coil fouling a recurring issue here, and a dirty blower wheel directly reduces airflow to the farthest vents in the house. HVAC Cleaning in Live Oak explains what gets cleaned, what it costs to add the coil and blower work, and how we show you the before and after photos.
