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 Farmers Branch
Most Farmers Branch homes we inspect have duct systems that have never been properly cleaned, even when the homeowners are meticulous about filter changes. Air duct cleaning in Farmers Branch means more than running a hose through a register: it means pulling the air handler panel, seeing what is actually on the blower wheel and evaporator coil face, and setting up real negative-pressure extraction so loosened debris goes into a HEPA vacuum, not back into your living room. We give every Farmers Branch homeowner a written price before any work starts and before-and-after photos of their own ducts. Call Omar Haddad at (737) 727-2314 for a straight answer on what your system actually needs.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Farmers Branch’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We are part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded 2005, and every booking comes with The Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Omar Haddad runs this location with a simple rule: the price we hand you before work starts is the price on the invoice. No per-vent upsell, no mystery charges once the panel is off. Farmers Branch homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: their last duct cleaning quote started low and ended high once the crew was inside. That does not happen with us.
Technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, and they carry professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units where the job calls for them. When you book with Cardinal, you know the tech’s name before you open the door, and you get a written guarantee on every repair, plus a free second visit if any repair fails. That is the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every booking without exception.
Air Duct Repair in Farmers Branch
Air Duct Repair in Farmers Branch typically means resealing or replacing duct sections that have pulled apart at the joints, crushed flex runs, or plenums that leak conditioned air into the attic. Homes across older neighborhoods like Valwood Park and the mid-century tracts near Brookhaven Country Club often have metal trunk lines with taped seams that dried out decades ago. Air that is supposed to reach your bedrooms ends up in the attic instead, and your system runs longer to hit the same thermostat set point. Repairs on a typical 1,500 to 2,400 square foot Farmers Branch home run $280 to $740 depending on how many sections need attention. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if the repair fails within 365 days, we come back at no charge.
Duct Section Replacement
When a flex duct has collapsed or a metal section has separated, patching is a short-term fix. We remove the damaged section, fit the correct replacement, and seal it with mastic and aluminum tape, not the gray cloth tape that baked brittle in DFW attic heat. The written price you approve before work begins is the full price of the section, the labor, and the sealing.
Plenum Sealing and Reinforcement
The supply plenum is the box where your system pushes air out into the branches. In Farmers Branch attics that hit 130 degrees in August, plenum seams loosen and leak. We seal them properly and, where needed, reinforce the corner brackets so your air conditioning goes where it is supposed to go.
Ductwork Cleaning in Farmers Branch
Ductwork Cleaning in Farmers Branch means cleaning the full run: supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, and the air handler interior. Most standard cleanings for a typical Farmers Branch single-family home run $450 to $850 for the complete system, depending on system size and accessibility. You get one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start, not a per-vent estimate that doubles once the tech counts registers. We do not quote per vent at all. The price is the price.
Full System Agitation and HEPA Extraction
We set up negative-pressure extraction at the air handler, then run Rotobrush whip lines and a Nikro air whip through the supply and return branches to break loose what is stuck to the duct walls. The loosened debris goes straight into a HEPA-rated vacuum, not into your living room. After the branches are clean, we HEPA-vacuum the trunk lines and the plenum, then take before-and-after photos of the whole system so you can see exactly what was removed.
Blower and Coil Face Cleaning
In Farmers Branch, the blower wheel and evaporator coil face collect gray-brown buildup even when the return filter looks clean. That is the fine clay dust and spring oak pollen pulling through every return in this part of DFW. We pull the air handler panel, clean what is actually there, and document it with photos. This is the part most duct cleaning crews skip because they never open the panel at all.
Trusted Brands We Service in Farmers Branch
We stock filters and parts for the systems we see most in Farmers Branch: Honeywell media cabinets, Aprilaire filtration units, and Guardsman filter housings. If your system uses an Abatement Technologies containment setup or a Nikro-rated extraction point, we have the fittings and know the equipment. Farmers Branch homeowners running 4-inch media filters with a MERV 11 or MERV 13 rating will get better results after a proper duct cleaning, and we can recommend the right filter to match how your house pulls in pollen and dust.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Farmers Branch Homes
- Clay dust and oak pollen caked on the blower wheel. Farmers Branch sits under DFW’s midsummer haze and spring oak pollen plume, and the fine airborne clay dust that lifts off the Trinity River basin settles on blower wheels and coil faces even when return filters are changed monthly.
- Per-vent quotes from out-of-town crews. Homeowners sometimes get a cheap per-vent price over the phone, then watch a tech poke a hose through each register for two minutes and leave the trunk line untouched. That is not cleaning. That is a vacuum demonstration.
- Registers in bedrooms spreading a fine gray film. This usually means the supply ducts have a layer of buildup that keeps shedding every time the system cycles. The filter looks fine, but the duct walls are loaded.
- Attic flex runs crushed or disconnected. Farmers Branch homes with traditional pitched roofs and attic-mounted air handlers often have flex ducts that got stepped on during a roof inspection or a cable install. The system is cooling the attic instead of the bedrooms.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Farmers Branch, TX
A full-system Air Duct Cleaning in Farmers Branch runs $450 to $850 for a typical single-family home. Air duct repair work runs $280 to $740 depending on scope. Duct cleaning and repair together on a larger two-story home may reach $1,100 to $1,400. What changes the number is system size, number of returns, attic accessibility, and whether we are cleaning only the ducts or also the blower wheel and coil face. You get a written price per system before a single duct is touched, and the price does not change at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
One thing we want Farmers Branch homeowners to know: a great deal of what an honest duct cleaning in this area involves is simply time. Time to set up negative pressure properly. Time to agitate every branch. Time to pull the panel and photograph the blower. A crew that quotes per vent and promises to be done in an hour is not doing the work. We are.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Farmers Branch
Every 3 to 5 years for most Farmers Branch homes, and more often if you have shedding pets, recent renovation work, or a household member with significant allergies. The real trigger is not the calendar: it is what the ducts look like when the panel comes off. We take before-and-after photos so you can decide based on evidence, not a sales pitch. Call (737) 727-2314 and we will give you an honest assessment.
It means you get one flat price for the complete system, agreed in writing before we start, and that price covers every supply, return, trunk line, and the air handler interior. We do not quote a price per vent and we do not add charges once we are inside. The written price is the final price. Call (737) 727-2314 to get your system priced.
Yes. Every Farmers Branch cleaning includes before-and-after photo documentation of the duct walls, plenum, blower wheel, and coil face. You will see exactly what was removed and what the system looked like before we started. We do not skip the photos, and we do not rush a job during pollen peak just to clear the schedule.
We do not promise same-day service in Farmers Branch, because a proper duct cleaning takes hours of setup and agitation time that a rushed same-day crew simply will not invest. We will get you on the schedule as quickly as possible, and you will have a live arrival window you can track. Call (737) 727-2314 and we will book the first available slot.
Most Farmers Branch homes do well with a 4-inch media filter rated MERV 11 to MERV 13. MERV 8 catches big particles but lets the fine clay dust and oak pollen through, which is why your coil face loads up even when the filter looks clean. If you run a 1-inch filter slot, switch to a 4-inch media cabinet if your return can accept one. Call (737) 727-2314 and we will help you match the right filter to your system.
