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.

No per-vent pricing games, no number that changes at the door. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is The Pinehills’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Homes in The Pinehills are built differently than the older Plymouth stock down the road. Tight envelopes, HRV or ERV systems tucked into mechanical closets, finished basements that hide duct runs behind drywall. That means a duct cleaning here is not a quick vacuum job. Our Air Duct Cleaning team runs professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with Nikro HEPA vacuums for negative-pressure extraction. That means debris loosened from your supply and return ducts goes straight into a sealed HEPA unit, not back into your living room. We clean supply ducts, return ducts, and the main trunk equally. Every tech arrives background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know their name before they knock.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in The Pinehills
Air Duct Cleaning Services in The Pinehills involve more than brushing out a few supply runs. We inspect first, then clean. The process starts with a camera inspection of your main trunk and branch lines to identify debris, crushed flex, or disconnected runs. Then we cut access points, set negative pressure with a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and run agitation tools through every supply and return branch. After the cleaning, we photograph the inside of your ducts so you can see exactly what was removed. A standard single-family home in The Pinehills runs $450 to $700. Homes with finished basements or additional returns run higher, typically $650 to $850.
Full System Cleaning
The full system is supply ducts, return ducts, the main trunk, and register boots. We treat each section as part of one job with one flat price, not as a per-vent line item. If you have not had the system cleaned in five years or you just finished a renovation, this is the service to book.
Video Inspection
Before we touch anything, we run a camera through the main trunk and key branches. In The Pinehills specifically, this matters because flexible fresh-air or HRV supply ducts can be crushed or disconnected behind finished walls during construction. You’ll see the footage yourself. If the system is clean, we’ll tell you and you keep the fee modest. If we find a disconnected run or debris, we’ll show you that too.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in The Pinehills
HVAC Duct Cleaning in The Pinehills has one wrinkle most companies miss: the HRV or ERV fresh-air ductwork. These tightly built homes rely on continuous ventilation to manage indoor air, and the small-diameter supply runs that feed fresh air to each room are not the same as standard HVAC branch lines. We do not throw full-size rotary tools into those runs. We inspect them with a small camera first, then clean with gentler agitation or simply verify they are clear and connected. Standard HVAC duct cleaning runs $500 to $800 for a typical Pinehills house. Adding HRV/ERV supply and exhaust duct cleaning runs $150 to $300 more, depending on run length and access.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Full-system cleaning covers both sides: the supply ducts that push conditioned air into rooms, and the return ducts that pull air back to the handler. In many Pinehills homes, returns are routed through finished basement ceilings and can collect renovation dust for years. We clean both sides with the same negative-pressure containment, using Abatement Technologies containment units where access is tight.
Residential and Commercial Duct Cleaning
Most of our work in The Pinehills is residential, but we also clean ducts in the community’s commercial buildings and property-management spaces. The pricing structure is the same: one flat system price, a written quote before we start, and before-and-after photos of your own ducts.
Trusted Brands We Service in The Pinehills
We service and clean duct systems tied to equipment from Aprilaire, Honeywell, and Guardsman, as well as HRV and ERV units common in Pinehills homes. If your fresh-air system uses Aprilaire filtration or a dedicated ERV core, we know how those integrate with the duct layout. Our techs carry Guardsman and Aprilaire filter replacements for standard sizes. We don’t stock every part for every system, but we do keep the common ones on the truck, which means less waiting for Pinehills homeowners.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in The Pinehills Homes
- Renovation dust packed into main trunks. Many Pinehills homes were built or renovated within the last decade or two. Drywall dust and construction debris sit in supply and return trunks and keep circulating. We’ve pulled fine white dust out of trunk lines years after the renovation finished.
- Disconnected or crushed flex runs at register boots. Flexible duct runs behind finished walls can get pulled apart during bathroom or basement work. We find them with a camera, then restore the connection before cleaning.
- HRV/ERV supply ducts ignored by regular duct cleaners. These small-diameter runs need separate handling. Agitating them with full-size rotary tools can crush or disconnect them, and you won’t know it happened because the damage is behind drywall.
- Per-vent pricing quotes that inflate at the door. A quote like “$15 per vent” sounds cheap until a four-bedroom home has 28 registers and suddenly the job is double the original number. We quote one flat price per system after we see the scope, and that price holds.

Every 3 to 5 years for most homes. If you have pets, a recent renovation, or someone with allergies or asthma in the house, 2 to 3 years makes more sense. If we inspect your system and it’s still clean, we’ll tell you not to book. Call us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Yes. These tightly built homes often use HRV or ERV systems for fresh air, and those small-diameter ducts need separate handling. We inspect them with a camera before cleaning, and we never force full-size rotary tools into them. The goal is clean fresh air, not a crushed flex run behind your drywall.
Because per-vent pricing hides the real cost. A small condo with 8 vents might look cheap at $20 per vent, but a four-bedroom Pinehills house with 30 registers adds up fast. We quote one flat price for the entire supply and return system after a camera inspection shows us scope. That price is written and does not change. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
We start with a camera inspection of the main trunk and branches. Then we seal off the system, set negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and run agitation tools through every supply and return line. Afterward we photograph the inside of your ducts and show you before-and-after shots. One visit, one price, photos you can keep.
