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 The Hammocks

We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005. Our Air Duct Cleaning team works throughout The Hammocks, from the townhome clusters near Hammocks Boulevard up to the larger two-story houses off SW 147th Avenue.

What sets our approach apart for The Hammocks residents is the local climate reality. This is a low-lying pocket of western Miami-Dade where summer humidity hangs in the air and the water table sits close to the surface. That combination means return ducts and air handlers here collect damp debris and biological film faster than drier neighborhoods to the north. We build every quote around that fact.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is The Hammocks’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
The Hammocks homeowners call us because we show up with a written price and insist on camera evidence before anything gets cleaned. Omar Haddad leads our team, and he’s built the operation around one idea: you should never guess what you’re paying for or whether the work was actually done. Before we touch a single duct, you hold a flat per-system price in writing. It does not change at the door.
Our reputation across The Hammocks comes from doing the job the way it should be done. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units so loosened debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your living room. The technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform. When they leave, you receive before-and-after photos of your own registers, return plenum, and air handler.
Every booking carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print. No exclusions. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies to every job in The Hammocks without exception.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in The Hammocks
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in The Hammocks means handling the small retail spaces, medical offices, preschools, and property management turnovers scattered along SW 117th Avenue and the commercial strips near Hammocks Boulevard. These buildings often run their HVAC longer hours than a home, which pushes more particulates through the trunk lines. Add the humid return side we see across The Hammocks, and you get heavier buildup on blower motors and evaporator coils.
Retail and Office Systems
We treat commercial supply and return runs as one complete system. A typical small commercial duct cleaning in The Hammocks runs $600 – $1,200 depending on square footage and duct layout. The scope covers trunk lines, branch runs, return plenum, and the air handler cabinet, so the job is priced per system, never per vent.
Property Turnovers and Inspections
Property managers in The Hammocks call us during tenant turnovers when a unit has been vacant, or when a video inspection request comes up for a sale. We provide camera documentation of duct condition before and after, and a written report you can hand to the owner or title company.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in The Hammocks
Air Duct Cleaning Services in The Hammocks focus on the full system: supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler, and the plenum. Most residential homes here run 12 – 20 supply registers served by a central trunk that branches through the attic. The return path, often a single large chase, is where we find the worst buildup because it pulls unfiltered air from the living space day after day.
Full System Cleaning
A standard single-family home in The Hammocks runs $389 – $689. Our process starts with a camera inspection of the return duct and supply trunk. Then we use agitation tools to break debris loose while the HEPA vacuum holds the system under negative pressure. The blower motor compartment gets opened and cleaned, not skipped. That’s the difference between a real cleaning and a per-vent whip-through.
Video Inspection
We run video inspection both before and after every job in The Hammocks. You see the buildup we found, and you see the registers and plenum after. If there’s a tear in a flex duct or a disconnected branch, the camera catches it. You get the photos on your phone with your digital invoice, payable by link.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Hammocks
We clean ducts behind every major HVAC brand found in The Hammocks homes, including Rheem, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, and Lennox air handlers. For filtration and indoor air quality products, we stock and service Aprilaire and Guardsman systems, which pair well with the humidity profile here. Our trucks carry Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA extraction units, so we’re equipped for the tight attic clearances common in The Hammocks townhomes and the taller two-story houses without dragging a shop vac up a ladder. When you call, tell us what brand your system is, and we’ll arrive with what we need.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes
- Damp return ducts with biological film. The high water table and summer humidity in The Hammocks keep return ducts cooler and wetter than they should be. We regularly see a gray film coating the return plenum that needs mechanical agitation to remove properly.
- Attic flex duct tears pulling in hot, dusty air. Two-story homes off SW 147th Avenue and Hammocks Boulevard often have flex duct runs in unconditioned attics. A tear lets insulation and roof dust into the supply stream, and a whipping hose does nothing for it.
- Clogged blower motor compartments. In The Hammocks, the blower wheel and motor housing collect lint and dust faster because the system cycles longer in summer. A blocked blower pulls more amps and can shorten motor life.
- Per-vent jobs that skipped the return side. This is the most common complaint we hear from The Hammocks homeowners who had a previous cleaning. A crew ran a hose through supply registers only, leaving the return trunk, the air handler, and the main lint pathway untouched.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in The Hammocks
Most homes in The Hammocks genuinely need full duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years, though homes with pets, recent renovations, or smokers should lean closer to every 2 to 3 years. The humid return side and constant AC runtime here push that timeline shorter than in drier climates. One honest test: if you see dust returning to surfaces within days of cleaning, or the blower motor is pulling more amps than spec, the ducts are due. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll run a camera inspection to show you exactly what’s in there before you commit.
The flat per-system price includes supply ducts, return duct, air handler cabinet, blower motor cleaning, and the plenum, plus before-and-after photos and a written report. It’s one number, not a per-vent calculation. We agree on it before any work starts, and it does not change when the technician arrives. For an exact quote on your The Hammocks home, call (737) 727-2314.
Before-and-after photos are the only proof that the inside of your ducts was actually cleaned, and in an industry with a bait-and-switch reputation, they matter. We recently worked a two-story house off SW 147th Avenue near Hammocks Boulevard where the return duct above the air handler was pulling in attic dust, and a camera inspection showed a heavy lint pathway along the supply trunk. After source removal with agitation tools under negative pressure and HEPA filtration, the blower motor amp draw dropped back to spec, and we sent the homeowner before-and-after photos of their own registers and plenum. You’ll get the same documentation on every job we do in The Hammocks. Call (737) 727-2314 for your free estimate.
No, we don’t promise same-day service, and we’d rather be straight with you about that. A proper full-system cleaning in The Hammocks takes a scheduled visit, not a rushed slot squeezed between two other jobs. We book you for a specific day, give you a live trackable arrival window under The Relay Standard, and do the job properly. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule a date that works for you.
Yes. The Hammocks sits in a low-lying part of western Miami-Dade where the water table and summer humidity stay high, so return ducts and air handlers here tend to grow more biological film and hold damp debris than ducts in drier inland neighborhoods like Kendale Lakes. That means you may need cleaning slightly more often, and it means the return side and air handler need more attention than a typical supply-side-only job offers. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate from our team in The Hammocks.
