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 Sansom Park’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Sansom Park homes are different from the newer subdivisions spreading across Tarrant County. The housing stock here is older, tighter, and largely built before modern duct sealing became standard. Our Air Duct Cleaning team works on 1950s and 1960s ranches where the original galvanized runs and early flex duct are still in place. That experience matters. A tech who only works on new construction will miss the collapsed return or disconnected branch run that’s quietly choking airflow to two bedrooms.
We’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, founded in 2005, and Omar Haddad leads our crew. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and arrives with professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and Abatement Technologies containment units. You’ll know your tech’s name before they pull into the driveway. Sansom Park homeowners consistently tell us the same thing: they appreciated knowing the price before the work started and seeing photo proof when it was done. That’s the Sansom Park standard we hold ourselves to.
Ductwork Cleaning in Sansom Park
Ductwork Cleaning in Sansom Park starts with a camera inspection, because cleaning a duct run that’s collapsed or disconnected is pointless. On older homes here, especially pre-1970s construction off Skyline Drive or near the industrial edge of town, we regularly find flex runs that have sagged, separated at the boot, or filled with construction debris from decades ago. The cleaning itself uses negative-pressure extraction: that means the loosened debris goes straight into the HEPA-filtered vacuum, not back into your living room.
For a standard single-family home in Sansom Park, full ductwork cleaning runs $450 – $850 depending on the number of returns and the accessibility of the plenum. You get one price for the whole system, in writing, before we touch a single register. No per-vent pricing. No “discovered” charges once we see how many supply runs your 1958 ranch actually has.
Supply and Return Ductwork
Supply ducts push conditioned air into rooms; return ducts pull air back to the blower. In Sansom Park’s older homes, returns are often undersized for today’s HVAC loads, which means they pull harder and collect more lint, pet hair, and dust at the return grille and first few feet of the run. We clean both sides of the system, including the return drop and the air handler cabinet.
Full System Cleaning with Negative Pressure
Full system cleaning means registers, supply runs, return runs, plenum, blower compartment, and the coil if accessible. We set up containment so dust never migrates into the house, then agitate the duct walls with a Rotobrush while the Nikro HEPA unit maintains negative pressure. When we finish, you see photos of the inside of your ducts, not our word for it.
Air Duct Inspection in Sansom Park
Air Duct Inspection in Sansom Park is a standalone service we recommend for any homeowner who’s never had their ductwork examined, especially if the house was built before 1980. For $125 – $225, we run a camera through the supply and return runs and check static pressure at the blower. What does that tell you? Whether your ducts are actually connected, whether a return is pulling from the right places, and whether cleaning will fix your airflow problem or whether you need a repair first.
Omar Haddad trains every tech to treat inspection as the diagnostic step it is, not a sales opener. If the camera shows your ductwork is clean and intact, we’ll tell you that and you pay for the inspection once, clearly, no upsell. If we find a problem, you get a written recommendation and a fixed price to fix it.
Video Camera Inspection
We run a high-resolution camera on a flexible reel through each accessible run. On Sansom Park homes with original galvanized duct, we’re looking for rust-through points, disconnected joints, and debris blockages. With early flex duct, we’re checking for sag, collapse, and animal intrusion. You see the footage. You decide what happens next.
Static Pressure Testing
Static pressure tells us how hard your blower is working against the resistance of the duct system. A high reading on a Sansom Park ranch often means undersized returns or collapsed flex runs. A low reading on a closed system can mean disconnected ducts dumping conditioned air into the attic. We measure before and after cleaning to document the improvement.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sansom Park
Cardinal services and installs equipment from Aprilaire, Guardsman, and Abatement Technologies, and our cleaning equipment includes Rotobrush brush systems and Nikro HEPA extraction units. For Sansom Park homeowners that means we can match filter replacements and media to your existing system without a second visit, and we carry the common filter sizes and replacement grilles local houses need. If your 1960s return grille has finally rusted through or a filter slot needs a new Aprilaire media cabinet, we handle it same trip when parts are available.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Sansom Park Homes
- Collapsed flex runs on pre-1970s homes. The original flex duct in many Sansom Park ranches has degraded. When a run collapses, the rooms it feeds get almost no airflow, and cleaning alone won’t fix it. We find this on nearly half the older homes we camera-inspect here.
- Disconnected branch runs dumping air into the attic. Decades of thermal cycling can pop a duct off its boot. The system runs, but conditioned air never reaches the bedroom. Sansom Park attics in August are brutal, which makes the separation worse.
- Oversized systems on undersized returns. Many older Sansom Park homes got bigger AC condensers over the years without any duct upgrades. The return pulls so hard it sucks dust through every crack in the return chase and packs the air handler with lint.
- Construction debris from mid-century builds. Drywall chunks, scrap lumber, and even old work clothes end up in ducts. On some Sansom Park houses, this debris has been circulating air since Eisenhower was president. Camera inspection finds it. Cleaning removes it.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Sansom Park, TX
A full air duct cleaning for a standard single-family home in Sansom Park runs $450 – $850. A video inspection alone is $125 – $225, applied toward the cleaning if you book it. What affects the range: number of returns, whether you have one system or two (some Sansom Park ranches have a second unit for an addition or converted garage), and how accessible the plenum and air handler are. The lower end covers a clean, simple single-system house under about 1,800 square feet. The upper end covers dual systems, longer runs, or heavily loaded ductwork.
We quote one flat price per system. If your home has two systems, you get a price for each, in writing, before work starts. That price includes the full service: cleaning, sanitizing where requested, and before-and-after photo documentation. No per-vent math. No surprises at the door.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Sansom Park
Most Sansom Park homes need air duct cleaning every 3 – 5 years, but the real answer depends on what the camera shows. An older house with original galvanized duct, pets, and a high-efficiency filter that’s changed regularly may go longer. A house with a sagging flex run or a return pulling from a dusty chase may need it sooner. We’ll inspect first and tell you if cleaning is warranted. Call (737) 727-2314 to schedule an inspection, and you’ll get an honest answer, not a cleaning pitch.
One flat price per system, every time. Most Sansom Park homes run $450 – $850 for a full cleaning, written before any work starts. Per-vent pricing is how the bait-and-switch happens: a low teaser rate per register that balloons once the crew counts how many runs your 1950s ranch actually has. We don’t do it. You know the full price before the van arrives, and it doesn’t change.
You get photographs of the inside your own ducts, taken with our inspection camera before and after cleaning. The before-photos show the dust, debris, or damage we found. The after-photos show the same runs cleaned out and, where applicable, the repair or reconnection we made. If a run can’t be reached with the camera, we tell you that on the spot. No stock photos. No “trust us.” Call (737) 727-2314 for a quote, and ask about the photo documentation when you do.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If the issue is a blocked or heavily loaded run, cleaning restores airflow. But in Sansom Park’s older homes, the more common cause is a collapsed flex run or a disconnected branch, and cleaning won’t fix that. That’s why we camera-inspect before we clean. If we find a collapsed run, you’ll see it on the footage and we’ll give you a written price to repair it. Cleaning a collapsed duct is a waste of your money, and we won’t do it. Call (737) 727-2314 with your specific room situation and we’ll talk you through what’s likely going on.
No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Duct cleaning in Sansom Park is a scheduled job done properly with camera inspection, containment setup, negative pressure, and photo documentation. Rushing a same-day job means skipping the inspection, skipping the static pressure check, and skipping the photos that prove the work was done. We’d rather schedule you a day or two out and do it right. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll get a real time slot, a live trackable arrival window, and techs who show up ready to do the job fully.
