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.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Hunters Creek’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Hunters Creek homeowners have a specific set of problems in their ductwork, and most of them trace back to how this neighborhood was built. The housing stock here went up largely in the 1980s and 1990s, which means flexible duct runs behind drywall soffits and through attic chases. Flex duct sags. It collects dust at every low point. It collapses. A company that has never worked these homes won’t know to look for that, and a shop-vac outfit that quotes you a low teaser price won’t have the camera to find it. Our Air Duct Cleaning crews see it every week. Omar Haddad, who leads our team, has trained every technician to start with a camera inspection rather than assumptions. We’d rather tell you your ducts are fine than sell you a cleaning you don’t need. That’s why people here call us back.
Every job includes written pricing handed to you before work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians, and before-and-after photographs of your own ductwork. The Relay Standard, our booking experience, gives you a live trackable arrival window, photo proof of the work, and a digital invoice you can pay from a link. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and correct it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise and it applies to every booking without exception.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Hunters Creek
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Hunters Creek almost always means cleaning the flexible duct runs common in homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, plus the air handler, evaporator coil, supply plenum, and return trunk. The full-system approach runs $425 – $780 for a typical Hunters Creek home, depending on square footage and how many systems the house has. We set up negative-pressure extraction, which means loosened debris goes straight into a HEPA-rated Nikro vacuum instead of back into your living room, then work rotary agitation tools through the supply and return runs. The air handler cabinet gets cleaned, not just wiped down, and the blower motor is checked before we call the job done.
Camera-First Inspection
Before we touch a vent, we run a camera through your supply and return trunks. In Hunters Creek homes with sagging flex duct, this is not optional. Dust packs into the low points where the duct sags, and that packed debris stays put if nobody looks. If we find collapsed runs, we show you on the camera feed and explain what it means before any work proceeds.
Before-and-After Photo Proof
You get photographs of your own ducts, not stock images. We document what the inside of the trunk looked like before, what it looked like after, and what came out. If you ever wonder whether the work was actually done, you’ll have the answer on your phone. This is standard on every job in Hunters Creek, not an add-on.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Hunters Creek
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Hunters Creek covers offices, retail suites, medical spaces, and the smaller commercial buildings scattered along the Town Center Boulevard corridor. These jobs generally run $1,200 – $3,800 depending on square footage, number of rooftop units, and access. The process is the same standard as residential work: camera inspection first, negative-pressure containment with Abatement Technologies equipment, rotary agitation through the runs, and photo documentation of everything. Commercial work in this area also requires sealing off the work zone properly so dust doesn’t migrate into occupied spaces, and we handle that with containment barriers as standard procedure.
Flex Duct in Older Commercial Suites
Many Hunters Creek commercial spaces share the same 1980s – 90s construction DNA as the homes. That means long runs of flex duct above ceiling tiles, often sagging and collecting years of dust and ceiling-tile fiber. We clean these systems the same way we clean residential flex duct: camera inspection, agitation at the sag points, and documented source removal.
Scheduled Cleaning for Occupied Spaces
We schedule commercial work around your operating hours. For medical or office spaces in Hunters Creek, that often means early morning or weekend work so the business never closes. The quote includes the time window, and the price doesn’t move once we start.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hunters Creek
We work on all major HVAC brands found in Hunters Creek homes, and we carry Guardsman and Aprilaire filtration products for customers who want better air quality after the cleaning. For the cleaning itself, our equipment is professional-grade: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA vacuums for extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units for jobs where dust control matters. If your system has a Honeywell or Aprilaire filter housing, we can replace the media while we’re there. For Hunters Creek customers, having the right parts and the right equipment on the truck means one visit instead of a callback.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Hunters Creek Homes
- Sagging flex duct with packed dust at low points. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s used flexible duct in attic chases and behind soffits, and over time it sags. Dust collects at every sag, and a register-level inspection won’t show it. You need a camera in the trunk.
- Damp or compressed attic insulation after storm season. Much of Hunters Creek sits in the Boggy Creek floodplain, and after heavy rain seasons we find attic duct insulation that has been damp, settled, or compressed. That changes how the whole system moves air and can point to condensation problems inside the ducts.
- Collapsed return runs causing whistling registers and strain on the blower. When a flex run collapses, airflow drops and pressure builds. The blower motor works harder, registers whistle, and dust gets pulled through gaps. This is a mechanical problem first and a cleaning problem second.
- Drywall dust packed into ducts after remodels. Hunters Creek homes from the 1980s and 1990s have seen decades of renovations. Drywall dust gets sucked into the returns and packs into the flex duct, and no amount of register vacuuming will remove it.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Hunters Creek
Most Hunters Creek homes genuinely benefit from a cleaning every 4 to 7 years, but the honest answer depends on what’s in your ducts. If you’ve had a remodel since the last cleaning, if you have pets, if anyone in the house has allergies, or if you’re seeing dust on registers shortly after cleaning, it may be time. If the camera inspection shows clean ducts, we’ll tell you that and you won’t pay for a cleaning you don’t need. Call (737) 727-2314 and we can talk through your situation.
One flat price per system, always. The per-vent pricing model is how duct cleaning companies in Hunters Creek turn a low teaser quote into a much larger invoice once the technician is already in your home. We agree on a written price before any work starts, and it covers the full system: supply runs, return runs, air handler, and plenum. No per-vent math. No surprise line items. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote.
Yes. Every job in Hunters Creek includes before-and-after photographs of your own ducts, and you’ll see what came out. This is not an add-on or a request we accommodate sometimes. It’s part of the Relay Standard, and it’s how you know the work was actually done. If a duct cleaning company won’t show you photos of your own ducts, ask yourself why.
Because Hunters Creek’s housing stock from the 1980s and 1990s runs on flexible duct, and flex duct sags and collapses. Dust packs into the sag points where no register-level vacuum can reach it. A camera inspection tells us whether the runs are open, whether they’ve collapsed, and whether the dust is packed at the low points. Without that, you’re paying for cleaning that never actually reaches the debris. We start every job with the camera.
No, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. A proper duct cleaning in a Hunters Creek home takes three to five hours when the flex-duct runs, air handler, and return trunk are all done correctly. A company promising same-day service in a neighborhood with this much attic-chase flex duct is either cutting corners or planning to upsell you into a rushed, incomplete job. We schedule your appointment for the time the work actually takes. Call (737) 727-2314 to book.
