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 Somerset’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Somerset homeowners deal with a specific kind of dust. It’s not the gray lint you see in city apartments. It’s caliche powder and live oak pollen that settle into single-wall ductwork and cling to air handler fins, and it takes more than a shop-vac pass to remove. We run camera inspections before and after every job because we know that in Somerset’s older ranch homes, the return ducts often hide packed debris that negative pressure alone can’t pull loose. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every cleaning: if the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the longest satisfaction window in the trade, and it applies to every Somerset booking without exception.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he’s built the standard around one rule: you know the technician’s name before they arrive, you see the written price before work starts, and you get before-and-after photos of your own ducts when the job’s done. Somerset customers book through The Relay Standard, which gives a live trackable arrival window and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No four-hour waiting blocks. No wondering who’s pulling up the drive.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Somerset
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning around Somerset means restaurant hoods off TX-1604, office return plenums, and small retail spaces where dust loads spike fast because doors open constantly and foot traffic grinds in caliche from the parking lot. A typical commercial cleaning in Somerset runs $800 to $1,800 depending on system size, duct run length, and access. We use Abatement Technologies containment units to keep dust from migrating into occupied areas during the job, and the written price includes camera inspection of the full system before and after.
Kitchen and Restaurant Systems
Somerset’s food establishments fight grease-laden vapor that coats duct interiors and clogs return grilles faster than residential systems. We remove the grease and dust load, verify airflow direction, and document everything with photos so the owner sees exactly what was pulled out.
Office and Retail Return Plenums
Open doors and constant occupancy mean return ducts in Somerset retail spaces collect a fine caliche film that cuts airflow and makes cooling bills climb. Our commercial cleanings restore static pressure and leave the system measurably cleaner, with a written guarantee on the work.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Somerset
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Somerset cover the full loop: supply ducts, return ducts, air handler, blower cabinet, and plenum. A standard residential cleaning in Somerset runs $350 to $650 for a single system, and larger homes with extended runs or multiple returns may reach $700 to $900. Every job starts with a camera inspection, then agitation with Rotobrush tools to break loose the packed caliche and pollen, then negative-pressure extraction, meaning the loosened debris goes straight into the Nikro HEPA vacuum instead of back into your living room.
Full System Cleaning
This is the job most Somerset homes actually need: supply side, return side, air handler, and blower all cleaned in one pass. Skipping the return side leaves a reservoir of dust that re-contaminates the supply within weeks.

Video Inspection and Verification
You get photographic proof of the work. We run the camera before to show you what’s in there, and again after to show you what’s gone. That’s the difference between cleaning and claiming to clean.

Trusted Brands We Service in Somerset
Our Somerset crews work on systems from every major manufacturer, and we stock common filters and components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman so most jobs finish the same visit. Whether your attic unit off West Somerset Main Street is a Goodman, Carrier, or an older Trane that’s been running since the 90s, the cleaning process stays the same: inspect, agitate, extract, verify. We carry Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums on every truck that rolls into Somerset, plus Abatement Technologies containment setups for larger commercial jobs.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Somerset Homes
- Caliche dust packed into return ducts. Somerset sits on caliche-heavy soil, and that fine, chalky material finds its way into homes through window seals, door gaps, and shoe traffic. Once it settles in the return duct, it recirculates through the air handler every cycle.
- Live oak pollen coating air handler fins. Spring in Somerset means a yellow-green film on everything, including the inside of your blower cabinet. Pollen sticks to wet evaporator coils and reduces airflow fast.
- Older single-wall ductwork with disconnected joints. Many 1950s and 60s ranch homes in Somerset have original single-wall ducts that pull apart over time. Dust enters at every failed joint, and cleaning without checking for disconnects just re-dirties the system.
- Per-vent pricing games from other companies. We regularly hear from Somerset homeowners who were quoted one number over the phone, then told the “real” price once the tech counted every register. That’s why our price is one flat number per system, written down before work begins.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Somerset
Most Somerset homes need a full duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but houses with caliche-heavy driveways, live oaks overhanging the roof, or renovating neighbors may need it more often, every 2 to 3 years. If your filters load up faster than 90 days or you can see dust settling on registers within a week of wiping them, that’s your signal. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll help you figure out if cleaning is truly warranted before you spend a dollar.
One flat price per system, written down before work starts and agreed to before a single duct is opened. We never charge per vent or per register, and the number on your written estimate is the number on your invoice. No add-ons at the door, no “extra” for the return side. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote on your Somerset home.
Yes. Every Somerset job includes camera inspection before we start and photo documentation after we finish, showing you the inside of your own ducts and air handler. You’ll see the before-and-after images on your phone via The Relay Standard booking link, and they stay in your digital file for as long as you own the home. If the work isn’t right within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge.
We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems for agitation, Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment units on commercial jobs. That combination is what it takes to remove packed caliche dust and live oak pollen from duct walls, not just loosen the top layer. The debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your living room.
Same-day service isn’t something we promise, because a proper Somerset duct cleaning is a scheduled job with camera inspection and written pricing before work begins. We’ll get you on the calendar as soon as possible, usually within a few days, and you’ll get a live trackable arrival window on the day of your booking. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person will give you real availability, not a vague promise.
