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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Farmers Branch, TX
Air duct cleaning in Farmers Branch, TX typically costs between $350 and $650 for a standard single-system home, with larger two-story homes and older ductwork pushing toward the upper end. The climate here matters more than most homeowners realize: Farmers Branch sits in a pocket of North Texas where clay-heavy soil, hot dry summers, and spring storm dust all work their way into duct systems faster than in cities with milder weather. Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning handles every job with one written price before any work begins, and a live person answers at (737) 727-2314 whenever you call.
Why Farmers Branch Homes Are Different
Farmers Branch has one of the oldest housing stocks in the Dallas metro, and that changes how we approach duct cleaning. The neighborhoods around Valwood Parkway and north of I-635 were largely built between the 1950s and early 1970s, and many of those homes still have their original metal duct trunks. Metal ducts survive decades, but the interior lining breaks down, the seams separate, and dust settles into pockets that flex duct simply does not have. In Brookhaven and the streets east of Marsh Lane, we regularly open returns and find decades of construction dust from the initial build still sitting inside.
The soil is the other factor. Farmers Branch sits on the Blackland Prairie, and that clay expands and contracts hard through the summer. It stresses slab foundations, which flexes the framing, and every tiny shift opens hairline gaps in duct connections under the house. What that means for you: a duct system here pulls air from crawlspaces and chases more aggressively than a newer home in a sandier part of the county. Our crews run Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA-rated negative-pressure extraction, which keeps loosened dust moving into the vacuum instead of blowing back through your vents.
Our Main Farmers Branch Services
These are the three jobs Farmers Branch homeowners call us about most often. Each has its own dedicated Farmers Branch page with local pricing and details, so pick the one that matches what you’re seeing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Farmers Branch
Older Farmers Branch homes often route dryer vents through the attic or out a side wall, and the longer the run, the more lint stacks up along the way. Lint is fuel: the U.S. Fire Administration flags dryer vent buildup as a leading cause of residential dryer fires every year. We pull the dryer, run a rotary brush through the full vent line, and verify airflow with a manometer before we put anything back. If your dry time has crept past 50 minutes for a normal load, that vent is telling you something. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Farmers Branch for the full breakdown.
Air Duct Cleaning in Farmers Branch
This is the whole-system clean: every supply and return duct, the trunk lines, the plenums, and the registers. On Farmers Branch homes with original 1960s metal ducts, our Nikro HEPA negative-pressure setup matters even more because the debris being pulled out includes insulation fragments, drywall dust from old remodels, and sometimes rodent activity in abandoned chases. We do not run a shop-vac on a truck and call it done. We seal the system and capture everything we remove. The full scope and Farmers Branch-specific pricing lives on the Air Duct Cleaning in Farmers Branch page.
HVAC Cleaning in Farmers Branch
The evaporator coil, blower wheel, drain pan, and blower housing collect dust and bio-growth faster in Farmers Branch because the AC runs hard from May through October. A dirty blower wheel can cut airflow by 30% or more, and reduced airflow is exactly what forces the system to run longer, cool less, and cycle harder on the hottest afternoons. We clean those components with Abatement Technologies containment equipment to keep spores and dust from re-entering the system mid-job. Details are on the HVAC Cleaning in Farmers Branch page.

In Farmers Branch, price shifts upward when a home has two separate AC systems, returns buried in unusual places, or ducts that have not been opened since the original build. The bigger driver is accessibility: older slab-on-grade homes with chases in tight interior closets take more setup time than a single-system ranch. Every Cardinal job carries one flat price per system, written and handed to you before a single vent is touched, and that price does not change at the door.
