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 Selma, TX
Air duct cleaning in Selma, TX typically runs $350 – $650 for a full single-system home, and most jobs take 3 – 5 hours with before-and-after photo proof of the work. Selma’s housing stock leans toward newer suburban construction, but that doesn’t mean the ductwork is clean – drywall dust from build-out, construction debris, and insulation particles settle into systems right from day one. Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning handles Selma jobs with professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, a written price before anything starts, and a live person on the phone at (737) 727-2314 whenever you call.
Why Selma Homes Are Different
Selma sits in a growth corridor northeast of San Antonio, and much of its housing stock was built in the last 10 – 20 years – which creates a specific profile for ductwork. Those newer homes often have HVAC systems installed quickly during construction booms, and the ducts collect drywall dust, paint overspray, and loose debris before the first homeowner ever moves in. On top of that, Selma’s position near the I-35 corridor means fine particulate from highway traffic and construction activity settles into return ducts faster than homeowners expect.
The climate matters too. Selma’s hot, dry summers force AC systems to run nearly nonstop from May through September, pulling air through filters and ductwork constantly. When ducts are dirty, that’s months of recirculating the same dust through every room. Homes near Forum Parkway and around the Selma Park area see additional seasonal pollen and oak debris that coats return grilles and works its way into the system. The terrain is mostly flat suburban, so duct runs tend to be straightforward – what actually varies is the amount of post-construction dust in newer builds versus years of pet dander and household dust in the older pockets of town.
Our Main Selma Services
Most Selma homeowners call us for one of three jobs – here’s what each looks like here and where to find the full details on its dedicated Selma page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Dryer vents in Selma clog with lint faster than in cooler, damper markets, because the low humidity dries lint into a light, airy dust that packs deep into the vent run. Homes with a dryer on an exterior wall usually have short straight runs, but many Selma two-story builds route vents up through a wall chase and out the roof – longer runs collect more lint per cycle. We clean the full vent from dryer to termination with a Rotobrush system, not just the first few feet. Read the full scope on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Selma
Most Selma air duct jobs fall into two buckets: post-construction cleanouts on newer homes and whole-system cleanings on 10 – 20 year old builds where pets, dust, and pollen have built up over years of heavy AC use. We run negative-pressure extraction with Nikro HEPA filtration, meaning loosened debris goes straight into a sealed vacuum, not back into your living room. Every Selma job includes a camera walkthrough of the ducts before and after. Details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Selma page.
HVAC Cleaning in Selma
Selma’s long cooling season puts continuous load on blower motors, evaporator coils, and return plenums. When the coil gets a visible dust mat, the AC works harder and cools less, right when outdoor temperatures peak. HVAC cleaning in Selma means cleaning the supply and return plenums, the blower assembly, and the coil – not just the ducts. The job also covers the condensate drain line, which clogs with algae in our humidity swings. See the full scope at HVAC Cleaning in Selma.

No. Duct cleaning is interior work and doesn’t touch anything an HOA governs. The only practical note for Selma is that some newer neighborhoods have narrow alley-loaded garage access, so tell us if your HVAC equipment is in an attic or a garage so the crew brings the right access ladder.
