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 Paloma Creek South’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company

The written price we hand you before any work begins is the price on your invoice. No adjustments at the door, no per-vent math games.
Because we’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, every booking follows The Relay Standard: a live arrival window you can track from your phone, before-and-after photo documentation of your ducts, and a digital invoice payable by link.

That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every job in Paloma Creek South, no exceptions.
Our service area covers Paloma Creek South directly, with scheduling coordinated from the brand’s Dallas-Fort Worth office. That means a live person answers when you call, and you’re not routed through a call center that doesn’t know the difference between a supply plenum and a return drop.
Ductwork Cleaning in Paloma Creek South
Ductwork Cleaning in Paloma Creek South homes means more than running a vacuum through the registers. We’re talking about source removal: loosening the debris bonded to duct walls, then extracting it under negative pressure so it doesn’t blow back into your living room. In practice, our techs connect a Rotobrush agitation system to the main trunk line, set a HEPA-filtered Nikro vacuum at the return side, and open supply registers one at a time to balance airflow through the system.
A full Ductwork Cleaning for a typical Paloma Creek South home runs $350 – $650, depending on the number of systems and the amount of debris present. That’s a flat per-system price, not a per-vent quote that balloons when the tech counts registers. You’ll know the number before we touch a single duct.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your air handler to every room. In Paloma Creek South, many supply runs are flexible duct snake through attics that regularly exceed 130°F in summer. That heat bakes dust into the liner, and it also can degrade the flex material itself. We clean supply runs with rotary agitation and verify the full length with a camera, so we catch torn or sagging sections that a surface-level cleaning would miss.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and they’re often the dirtiest part of the system because they draw unfiltered air from the home. If your filter sits at the return grille, the duct downstream of it should be relatively clean. If your filter is at the air handler, the entire return run has been collecting whatever the house produces: pet dander, skin cells, dust from construction, and in Paloma Creek South’s clay-heavy soil, fine particulate that tracks in from outside.
Air Duct Inspection in Paloma Creek South
Air Duct Inspection in Paloma Creek South is not an upsell we tack on. Given the housing stock here, it’s often the most useful step we perform. Most homes in Paloma Creek South were built in the 2000s and 2010s, and much of that construction used flexible ductwork run through unconditioned attic spaces. When attic temperatures stay above 130°F for months at a time, flex duct can sag, tear at the collar, or separate from the plenum. A camera inspection of your supply and return runs costs $95 – $250 depending on the system size, and it shows us exactly what’s happening inside the duct, not just what we can guess from outside.
We pulled up to a home in Paloma Creek South and found the homeowner frustrated by persistent dust on furniture despite a regularly changed filter. Our tech connected a Rotobrush system to the main trunk, set up negative pressure with a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and ran agitation tools through the supply and return ducts. The camera inspection also showed a torn section of flex duct in the attic near the air handler. Once we sealed that and completed source removal, the homeowner reported noticeably less dust within the week.
Video Inspection Scope
Our cameras run the full length of accessible duct, from register to plenum. We document every foot, flag any tears, kinks, or mold-like staining, and show you the footage before we recommend anything. If your ducts are clean, we’ll tell you that and move on. We don’t manufacture work.
Full System Evaluation
After cleaning, we run the system and measure static pressure at the plenum. That quick check tells us whether your ducts are sized correctly or whether something else is restricting airflow. It’s a five-minute step that most duct cleaners skip entirely, and it catches issues that would otherwise send dust right back into your rooms within months.
Trusted Brands We Service in Paloma Creek South
We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush for mechanical agitation, Nikro for HEPA-rated vacuum extraction, and Abatement Technologies for containment on jobs that require it. We also install and service filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. For Paloma Creek South homeowners, that means we’re not showing up with a truck-mounted shop vac and calling it a day. Our Air Duct Cleaning team carries the right tool for the job, and we stock common replacement parts locally so a damaged duct collar or grille doesn’t turn into a two-week waiting game.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Paloma Creek South Homes
- Flex duct degradation from attic heat. The 130°F+ attic temperatures common to Paloma Creek South’s North Texas summers bake the inner liner of flexible ductwork, causing it to become brittle and tear. A cleaning that doesn’t include a camera inspection will miss this entirely, and you’ll still have dust blowing into rooms because the duct itself is compromised.
- Construction debris left in the system. Homes built in the 2000s and 2010s often have drywall dust, sawdust, and even fastener debris inside supply runs from the original build. That material won’t come out with a filter change; it needs mechanical agitation and negative-pressure extraction.
- Per-vent pricing bait-and-switch. Some companies quote you a low per-vent rate, then count registers once they arrive and the bill triples. We quote one flat price per system before work begins, and it doesn’t change at the door.
- Improper cleaning that pushes debris into the air handler. Running high-pressure air without proper negative pressure or HEPA filtration just moves dust from the ducts into the blower motor and evaporator coil. We set negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA vacuum before agitation, so debris goes into the vacuum, not into your equipment.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Paloma Creek South
Most Paloma Creek South homes need air duct cleaning every 3 – 5 years. That timeline tightens if you have pets that shed heavily, anyone in the home has allergies or asthma, you’ve done remodeling recently, or you live near construction areas where fine dust infiltrates. If your ducts have never been cleaned and your home was built before 2015, a camera inspection is the fastest way to know whether you need it now or can wait. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you figure out where you stand.
We charge one flat price per system. No per-vent rates, no counting registers after we arrive, no surprises. The price you approve before we start is the price you pay. For a Paloma Creek South single-system home, that’s typically $350 – $650. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote based on your home.
We connect a Rotobrush agitation system to the main trunk, set up a HEPA-filtered Nikro vacuum at the return side to create negative pressure, and work through supply and return registers one at a time. Debris is pulled into the vacuum, not blown into the room. We then run a camera through the full duct to document condition and flag any tears or leaks. You get before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.
No, and we won’t pretend to. Air duct cleaning on a Paloma Creek South home is a scheduled job, not an emergency call. We’ll give you a live arrival window you can track when you book, and a real person answers the phone around the clock if you need to reach us. But we don’t promise same-day dispatch, because honest duct cleaning takes time to do right, and we’d rather schedule you properly than rush through your system.
Yes. Before-and-after photo documentation is part of The Relay Standard on every single job. You’ll see what the inside of your ducts looked like before we started and what they look like when we’re done. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and correct it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every Paloma Creek South booking.
