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 Cleburne Homes Are Different
Cleburne’s housing stock runs older than a lot of the Metroplex, and that changes how we approach ductwork. A 1970s ranch off Nolan River Road with original metal ducts and a newer flex-line addition behaves very differently than a 2015 build in The Retreat or Belclaire. The older homes often have undersized returns, which pulls more dust through the system every time the AC cycles. We also see a lot of rock wool and cellulose remnants inside ducts in Cleburne, because so many homes here were insulated during the 1980s and 1990s retrofits, and that material finds its way into the air stream over time.
Cleburne sits on limestone and clay, so foundation movement is a fact of life. When a slab shifts, duct joints separate under the house, and the system starts pulling unfiltered attic or crawlspace air into the rooms. That means dust buildup in Cleburne is often faster than in newer suburbs, and a visual inspection is the first thing our technicians do before recommending any cleaning. The Texas summer heat also means your system runs hard from May through September, pushing more air and more particulate through the same ducts, year after year.
Our Main Cleburne Services
Cleburne homeowners call us most often for two things: dryer vent work, because lint fires are a real and documented risk, and full air duct cleaning, because the dust never seems to stop. We also handle complete HVAC cleaning, which covers the blower, coil, and housing that most duct-only companies skip.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cleburne
Dryer vents in Cleburne homes clog faster than homeowners expect, especially in older single-story homes where the dryer is on an interior wall and the vent run is long, sometimes 15 feet or more with elbows. Lint builds at every bend. We use a rotary brush system to break the buildup loose, then negative-pressure extraction pulls it out the exterior vent, not back into your laundry room. If you have not had your vent cleaned in the last two years, Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cleburne is where you can see the full scope of the work and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cleburne
Duct cleaning in Cleburne usually reveals exactly what people suspect: years of dust, pet hair, and construction debris that has settled into the supply and return runs. We connect a Nikro HEPA vacuum to the system to create negative pressure, then run a Rotobrush through every accessible duct to dislodge what is stuck. Negative-pressure extraction means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. For an honest breakdown of what the job includes, see Air Duct Cleaning in Cleburne.
HVAC Cleaning in Cleburne
Full HVAC cleaning goes deeper than ductwork. It covers the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and the inside of the air handler cabinet, which is where the worst of the buildup usually hides. In Cleburne, where AC systems run hard for half the year, a clogged or dirty coil drives up your electric bill and shortens the life of the compressor. Our techs pull the blower, clean the fins, and document everything with photos before and after. The complete rundown is on the HVAC Cleaning in Cleburne page.
