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 Union City’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Omar Haddad runs our Union City crew, and he’s the one who answers the phone more often than not. That’s not marketing, it’s how we work. When you call about Air Duct Cleaning, you’re not routed through three menus. You get Omar or one of his background-checked techs, a clear window for arrival, and the technician’s name before they ring the bell.
We’re held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means every Union City booking includes a live trackable arrival time, before-and-after photo documentation, and a digital invoice you can pay from a link on your phone. Founded with the Relay Home Co. family back in 2005, the standard hasn’t shifted since. Uniformed techs. Professional-grade gear – Rotobrush brush systems, Nikro HEPA vacuums, Abatement Technologies containment units. And a written price handed to you before a single duct is touched.
Union City homeowners tell us the same thing: they’ve had quotes that changed at the door, or per-vent pricing that exploded once somebody counted registers. We don’t do either. One flat price per system, agreed before work starts.
Air Duct Repair in Union City
Air Duct Repair in Union City usually runs $165 – $390 for reconnecting a branch line, patching a crushed section, or resealing a leaky trunk joint. You’d call for it when you notice rooms that never heat or cool evenly, registers that whistle, or a blower motor that cycles hard and trips the high-limit switch more than it should.
In Union City’s older housing stock, damage tends to be structural rather than age-related dust. A remodeled bathroom floor crushes a trunk. A settled foundation pulls a boot loose. A handyman reaches into a return chase and disconnects a run without realizing it. The fix often costs less than the energy wasted month after month.
Crushed Trunks and Disconnected Branches
When a trunk collapses, the entire system strains. Static pressure climbs, the blower works against itself, and whatever dust is in the ducts gets pushed into the rooms that still have airflow. We camera the line first, find exactly where the damage sits, and fix that spot rather than cleaning around it.
Register and Boot Leak Sealing
Loose boots pulling air from wall cavities pull fiberglass and drywall dust into the airstream. We seal them properly and, where needed, reconnect the branch before cleaning begins. If the repair fails within 365 days, we come back and correct it. No charge.
Ductwork Cleaning in Union City
Ductwork Cleaning in Union City runs $425 – $740 for a full system on a typical home, with the price set before we start and not changed at the door. We use negative-pressure extraction – that means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room – with HEPA filtration from Nikro on the vacuum side and agitation tools from Rotobrush running through the supply and return runs.
In Union City’s 1960s and 70s split-levels off Flat Shoals Road and in the Shannon Ridge area, the dirt doesn’t gather at the registers the way it does in newer homes. It settles in the long runs and wraps around short, tight elbows. If you only vacuum the register boots, you’re leaving the actual problem behind.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
We clean supply and return ductwork the same day, on every job. Returns in older Union City homes often pull from wall cavities rather than dedicated sheet-metal runs, which means they hold dust longer and hotter than the supply side. We address both, and you’ll see the before-and-after photos from each location.
Full System Cleaning With Video Inspection
Every full system job includes a camera pass before and after. You’ll see what was actually inside your ducts, and you’ll see the same spots after. No generic stock photos. Your ducts, your camera footage.
Trusted Brands We Service in Union City
We service and clean ducts tied to every major HVAC brand Union City homes actually use – Honeywell, Aprilaire, Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman. On the tool side, our crews run Rotobrush rotary brush systems, Nikro HEPA-rated extraction, and Abatement Technologies containment. We carry Guardsman and Aprilaire filters locally, which means if you need a media cabinet filter replaced during a cleaning, it’s in the van. Not ordered. Not backordered. Here.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Union City Homes
- Crushed sheet-metal trunks under mid-century remodels. Off Alvarado-Niles Road especially, we see bathrooms or kitchens that were added above existing duct runs without moving them first. The trunk flattens, airflow drops, and the system starts pulling dirt from wherever it can find it.
- Disconnected branches feeding distant bedrooms. In split-level homes around Shannon Ridge and off Roosevelt Highway, the far rooms sit at the end of long, undersized runs. When a branch pops loose, those rooms get nothing while the rest of the house overcooks.
- Dust-load concentrated in supply and return plenums. Because these older systems pull hard through too-small trunks, the buildup isn’t spread evenly. It sits in the plenums and the first six feet of the trunk line, then recirculates every time the blower kicks on.
- Whistling registers and high static pressure. That sound isn’t a quirk. It’s the blower motor screaming through a restriction. Cleaning the ducts without finding the restriction fixes nothing – and that’s exactly what camera inspection is for.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Union City
Every 4 to 6 years is honest for most Union City homes, and that stretches longer if you’ve had a full system cleaning with camera verification done properly the first time. You don’t need annual duct cleaning. If someone’s trying to sell you a recurring annual package for your ducts, they’re selling you a subscription, not a service. What matters more is addressing the crushed trunks and disconnected branches common in Union City’s older stock – those don’t get fixed by more frequent cleaning. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you over the phone if a cleaning is actually warranted right now.
No. We quote one flat price per system, written down, before anything starts. Per-vent pricing punishes Union City homeowners who live in older split-levels with short, awkward runs and registers tucked behind furniture – your total shouldn’t balloon because a tech counted every boot in the house. Those same companies often start at a low teaser number and finish at something unrecognizable. We don’t do that.
Yes, and you don’t have to ask. Every cleaning in Union City includes before-and-after video inspection of your actual ducts and before-and-after photos of your own registers, trunks, and plenums. These are part of The Relay Standard booking experience Omar and his crew run on every job, not an upsell add-on. You’ll see what was in there and what it looks like when we’re done.
We schedule Union City jobs every weekday and Saturday, and there are some days we finish early and can get to a call that same afternoon. But we don’t promise same-day service because we don’t rush the work. Duct cleaning done properly takes 4 to 6 hours. A company that says they’ll be there in two hours and out in one is cutting corners, and in Union City’s older homes the corners are where the real problems hide. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you the next available window, tracked live on your phone.
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning is a separate service we run alongside duct cleaning when you want it done. It involves running a rotating brush through the full dryer exhaust line to remove lint and checking the termination point for blockages. The price is added to your written quote before we start, not discovered mid-job. Ask Omar when you call and he’ll give you one number for both jobs combined.
