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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Leander
Duct cleaning in Leander works best when the company understands what’s actually inside your ducts: limestone dust, cedar pollen, and construction debris from the new builds along 183A and Ronald Reagan. You’ll get a written price before we touch a single vent, and before-and-after photos of your own ductwork when we’re done. That’s how we work at Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate and a straight answer on whether your ducts even need cleaning yet.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a year, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print. No per-vent pricing games. Just honest work from a local crew that knows Leander’s housing stock.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Leander’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Leander homeowners call us because we show up with professional-grade equipment and a clear price before any work begins. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, and you’ll know their name before they knock. More importantly, they know what Leander ductwork actually looks like inside: tight new-build trunk lines, multiple return ducts, and that fine limestone-and-drywall layer that builds up fast in Hill Country homes.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he’s built our Leander reputation on one simple standard: documentation. We run camera inspections on every job, including new construction where debris hides in trunk lines. We set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration so loosened debris goes straight into our Nikro vacuum, not back into your living room. And we hand you written proof of the work when we finish. That’s why Leander customers recommend us to their neighbors in Cedar Park and Liberty Hill.
Every booking also comes with The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. From first tap to final receipt, you see everything.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Leander
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Leander typically cost $349 – $549 for a standard single-system home under 2,500 square feet. We quote one flat price per system, never per vent, so the number we hand you before work starts is the number on your invoice. The job usually takes 3 to 5 hours depending on duct count and accessibility.
Residential Cleaning
We clean supply ducts, return ducts, the main trunk lines, and the air handler cabinet using a Rotobrush rotary brush system paired with Nikro HEPA vacuum extraction. For newer Leander homes off Crystal Falls Parkway or Travisso, we almost always find construction dust that a simple vent wipe won’t touch. The camera inspection shows it, the agitation removes it, and the after-photos prove it.
Commercial Cleaning
Offices, clinics, and retail spaces in Leander need a scheduled approach that minimizes disruption. We work after hours where needed and provide photo documentation for property managers. A commercial system under 5,000 square feet typically runs $0.18 – $0.30 per square foot, quoted as a flat project price before scheduling.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Leander
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Leander addresses the full path of air moving through your system, from return grilles to supply registers. For a typical Leander home with one HVAC system, expect $399 – $649 depending on square footage and duct count. If you have two separate systems, a common setup in larger Leander builds, the price is higher and we’ll tell you exactly how much before any work begins.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Leander homes often have multiple return ducts, and companies that price per vent can quote wildly different totals for the same floor plan. We quote per system, not per vent. That means a 2,200-square-foot home in Larkspur gets the same honest number as an identical one in Benbrook Ranch.
Video Inspection
Before we clean, we run a camera through your supply and return runs. It shows us where the limestone dust has packed into joints, whether construction debris is blocking airflow, or if a flex duct has collapsed. You see the same footage. We won’t sell you a cleaning you don’t need.
Trusted Brands We Service in Leander
We work on all major HVAC equipment in Leander homes and stock filters from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for quick replacement during any cleaning visit. Our extraction and containment gear comes from Nikro and Abatement Technologies, which matters because Hill Country limestone dust is finer than typical household debris and requires HEPA filtration to remove it without recirculating it through your home. When we identify a repair need, the parts for common local systems are often already on the truck, which means fewer return trips for you.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Leander Homes
- Construction dust in new builds. Homes along 183A and Ronald Reagan corridors settle out drywall dust and limestone grit into their ductwork for the first year or two. This shows up as a gray film on supply registers and requires full trunk-line cleaning, not just vent wiping.
- A compacted dust layer from cedar pollen and limestone. Leander’s cedar season and the constant limestone dust off the Hill Country combine into a fine grit that packs into duct joints. Surface vacuuming won’t remove it; proper agitation and negative pressure will.
- Per-vent pricing confusion. Some companies quote $29 per vent, then count every register, return, and trunk opening differently. Two Leander homes with identical square footage can see wildly different totals, which is why we quote one flat price per system before you commit.
- Infrequent filter changes after new construction. Contractors often leave the original build filter in place after move-in. It clogs within months, forcing the system to pull air past the filter and deposit dust into the ducts themselves.

Most Leander homes need a full duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but new construction homes benefit from a cleaning within the first 12 to 24 months because of construction debris. If you’ve recently renovated, have cedar allergies, or notice gray film on your registers, you may need it sooner. If your ducts were cleaned properly within the last 2 years and you’ve changed filters regularly, you probably don’t need it yet.
Yes. Every Cardinal job includes camera photos of your ductwork before we start and after we finish, delivered with your digital invoice. You’ll see the actual condition of your supply and return runs, including any construction debris we removed. If the before-photos look clean, we’ll tell you that too.
Yes, almost always. Homes along the 183A and Ronald Reagan corridors have drywall dust and limestone grit settling into their trunk lines during construction. We were called to a newer build off Crystal Falls Parkway where the homeowner noticed a gray film on the supply registers within eight months of move-in. Our tech ran a camera inspection and found drywall dust and limestone grit coating the air handler and blower motor; we set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration at the main trunk, used agitation tools on the supply and return ducts, and pulled source removal debris through the registers. The after-photos showed clean duct walls versus the gray coating we documented on arrival.
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning is part of what we do, and it’s worth checking annually in Leander homes where lint builds up fast in long vent runs. We inspect, clean, and document the vent with photos, and the price is quoted upfront as part of a written estimate. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll cover both your ducts and dryer vent in one visit.
