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 Haltom City’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Haltom City homeowners call us because they want the job done right the first time, with proof. Omar Haddad built this location on a simple standard: every booking includes a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and a written price agreed before work starts. That is The Relay Visibility Guarantee, and it applies to every single job we run in Haltom City.
We are not the cheapest quote you will get in the Mid-Cities, and we are fine with that. The bait-and-switch model is alive and well around here: a low per-vent price on the phone that balloons once the technician climbs into your attic and “discovers” a separate return system or heavy buildup. Our customers would rather know the real number up front. That is why we price per system, not per vent, and why the written quote does not change at the door.
Our Air Duct Cleaning technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You will know the tech’s name before they pull into your driveway. And when you call, a live person answers, 24/7. No voicemail loops, no phone tag, no next-business-day callback. Omar Haddad has run this operation with the same transparency-first approach since day one.
Air Duct Repair in Haltom City
Air Duct Repair in Haltom City is a job we handle every week, and it usually starts the same way: a homeowner calls about dust or weak airflow, and a camera inspection shows a disconnected flex run, a loose collar at the air handler, or a rusted-through return pan. In a 1962 ranch off Sylvania Avenue near Haltom Road, we found the original 6-inch galvanized trunk lines packed with construction debris and a 30-year accumulation of lint, plus a loose collar dumping unfiltered air straight into the return. We sealed the collar, cleaned the full supply and return system, and showed the owner before-and-after photos of the exact same duct run.
Repair pricing in Haltom City runs $180 to $420 for most resealing and minor collar repairs, and $500 to $1,100 for full duct replacement runs depending on length and access. A disconnected duct in a tight 1950s attic takes a different approach than one in a newer home with a walkable platform, and we price the job based on what the camera shows, not a guess.
Sealing and Reconnecting Loose Runs
Disconnected ducts are one of the most common problems we find in Haltom City’s older homes. A loose collar at the air handler means conditioned air leaks into the attic instead of your living room, and unfiltered attic air gets pulled into the return side. We use mastic sealant and foil tape, not duct tape, which dries out and fails in Texas attic heat.
Replacing Damaged or Collapsed Ducts
Rusted-through pans and collapsed flex runs happen in slab homes from the 1960s and 1970s, especially where the original flex was insulated with low-grade materials. We inspect first, show you the camera footage, and quote the repair as part of one flat price per system before any work starts.
Ductwork Cleaning in Haltom City
Ductwork Cleaning in Haltom City is the core of what we do, and the process is straightforward: we set up negative-pressure extraction (meaning loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA vacuum, not back into your living room), agitate the interior walls with a Rotobrush rotary brush, and perform source removal on both supply and return ducts. Most standard homes in Haltom City run $450 to $850 for the full system, depending on square footage and the number of returns.
We do not price per vent. We do not quote a teaser number on the phone and then add charges for the air handler or “heavy buildup” once we are in the attic. The price we hand you before work starts is the price on your invoice, period. And every job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts, taken with the same camera we use for inspection.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning covers supply ducts, return ducts, the trunk line, and the air handler. In Haltom City’s 1950s-to-1970s ranch homes, many of which still have original galvanized trunk lines, this is the job we recommend. Skipping the return side is like vacuuming half a room and calling it done.
Video Inspection Before and After
Every cleaning starts with a camera inspection. You see what we see, in real time, before we touch anything. After the work is done, we run the camera again and send you the before-and-after photos. If you are paying for a clean, you should be able to prove it happened. With us, you can.
Trusted Brands We Service in Haltom City
Haltom City homes run a mix of equipment, and we service all of it. We stock parts and filtration products from Honeywell and Aprilaire for local customers, and our extraction and containment equipment includes Abatement Technologies units for tight low-clearance attics where dust control matters. That means faster turnaround on filter swaps and replacements without waiting on a parts shipment. Whether your system is original to a 1960s ranch or a newer install off a 1990s addition, we diagnose what is there and quote repairs honestly.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Haltom City Homes
- Construction debris in original trunk lines. Many Haltom City homes built between the 1950s and 1970s still have their original galvanized duct runs, and we routinely find drywall dust, wood scraps, and fasteners from the original build sitting in the supply side. A camera inspection shows it in minutes.
- Disconnected or loose flex runs. The slab-home additions common around the Haltom Road and Midway corridor often used flex duct that separates over time at the collar. A disconnected return pulls unfiltered attic air into the house, and no amount of furniture polishing fixes that.
- Dust loading from the industrial corridor. Homes near NE 28th Street and the Midway area sit close to sheet-metal shops and manufacturing, and that means a higher airborne dust load than you would see in a newer subdivision. Filters clog faster, and ducts accumulate debris faster.
- Per-vent pricing traps from other companies. Haltom City’s older homes typically have both a main trunk and a separate return system. A low per-vent quote that only covers supply vents leaves the return side untouched, and then the upsell starts once the technician is in the attic. We price the full system, supply and return, in one written quote.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Haltom City
Every 4 to 7 years for most Haltom City homes, and more often if you live near the industrial corridor along NE 28th Street or the Midway area, where airborne dust loading is higher. The honest answer: if you have never had your ducts cleaned and your home was built before 1980, it is probably worth a camera inspection to see what is actually in there. If the inspection shows clean ducts, we will tell you so and recommend you save your money. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Flat per system, always. We quote one price that covers supply and return ducts, the trunk line, and the air handler, and that price is written down and handed to you before any work starts. Per-vent pricing is how the bait-and-switch works in the Mid-Cities: a low number on the phone, then added charges for the return side or “heavy buildup” once the tech is in your attic. We do not play that game. Call (737) 727-2314 and tell us your square footage; we will give you a real range.
Yes, every job. We run a camera inspection before we start, show you the footage in real time, and then run the camera again after the cleaning is done. You get before-and-after photos of your own duct runs, not stock images. That is part of The Relay Visibility Guarantee and it is non-negotiable. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Yes, and we recommend it. The dryer vent is a separate run from your HVAC ducts, and most Haltom City homes have a dryer vent that has never been cleaned. Lint buildup in the dryer vent is a fire hazard, and we can handle it during the same visit for an added flat rate. Mention it when you call (737) 727-2314 and we will build it into the written quote.
It can help reduce dust accumulation, but it is not a medical treatment and we will not sell it as one. If your ducts are packed with construction debris or a 30-year accumulation, removing that will make a real difference in how much dust lands on your furniture. But if the real problem is a loose collar pulling unfiltered attic air into your return, cleaning alone will not solve it. That is why we inspect and show you the camera footage first. Call (737) 727-2314 for an honest assessment.
