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 Krum, TX
Air duct cleaning in Krum, TX typically runs $495 to $995 for a standard single-system home, with the job completed in half a day. Krum’s mix of newer construction on the east side and older homes near the center means some systems are simply dusty while others carry years of sheetrock dust and construction debris from the build itself. That single difference changes how long the job takes and what it costs. If you’re looking for a straight answer on pricing before anyone steps inside your house, call Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning at (737) 727-2314, and we’ll give you a written quote.
Why Krum Homes Are Different
Krum sits in the northern stretch of Denton County where the soil is mostly clay-heavy, and in dry months that means fine dust finds its way into return air plenums and supply registers faster than homeowners expect. Homes built during the growth push of the last fifteen years, particularly along the newer developments off FM 1173 and near Krum High School, often have flex duct runs that were never sealed tightly at the trunk line. We regularly find a thin layer of sheetrock dust inside systems in houses that are only a few years old. It’s construction dust from the original build, pulled into the return side while the house was being finished, and it stays there until someone physically removes it.
Older homes closer to downtown Krum, along 4th Street and the neighborhoods west of 156, tend to have metal ducts that have collected decades of dust, pet dander, and the occasional surprise – a child’s toy, a dead rodent, a long-lost sock. The equipment we run here has to handle both: heavy negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration for the older systems, and careful brush agitation for the newer flex ducts that can’t take aggressive scrubbing. That’s the Krum-specific part of the job, and it’s why we never treat every home in this town the same way.
Our Main Krum Services
Krum homeowners reach out to us for three jobs more than anything else: dryer ventilation, full air duct cleaning, and HVAC system cleaning. Each one has its own page with its own pricing and details, linked below.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Krum
The lint that builds up inside a dryer vent is a fire hazard, and in Krum the runs are often longer than average because laundry rooms sit on interior walls of two-story homes. That means more bends, more places for lint to pack in, and more reason to have the line pulled and inspected annually. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior vent cap, and we show you before-and-after photos of what came out. See the full breakdown at Dryer Vent Cleaning in Krum.
Air Duct Cleaning in Krum
Full air duct cleaning means every supply and return register gets brushed, agitated, and pulled under negative pressure so the loosened debris goes into our Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuum, not back into your living room. In Krum homes with return air plenums open to garage spaces, we pay extra attention to seal gaps that pull in exhaust and road dust. Details and price ranges are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Krum page.
HVAC Cleaning in Krum
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts themselves: we open the supply and return cabinets, clean the evaporator coil, the blower wheel, and the condensate drain pan, then address any visible microbial growth. Krum’s humid spring months make coil cleaning relevant here; a dirty blower wheel in a system that works hard through August burns more power than it should. For scope, pricing, and what’s included, see HVAC Cleaning in Krum.

What pushes a Krum job toward the top of these ranges is usually duct access, meaning attic spaces with tight clearance, original construction returns with no service door, or flex duct runs that have collapsed and need minor repair before cleaning can proceed. We hand you a written price before a single register is touched, and that number doesn’t change at the door.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Krum
Most Krum appointments are scheduled within two to five business days, and we’re often in town one to two days per week. When you book through the Relay Standard, you get a live arrival window you can track from your phone, so you’re not guessing when the crew will pull up. Call (737) 727-2314 to check the next open Krum date.
Almost never. Air duct cleaning is interior work that doesn’t require a permit or HOA sign-off anywhere in Krum. If your outdoor dryer vent cap needs replacement, that can sometimes fall under an HOA’s exterior modification rules, but we’ll flag that for you before any work starts.
Newer Krum homes often need it the most. The original build leaves sheetrock dust, sawdust, and sometimes drywall screws inside the duct runs, and that debris stays there until the system is physically cleaned. If you’re seeing fine white dust settle on furniture weeks after moving in, that’s usually the source. The same $495 to $995 range applies, and we’ll give you an exact written quote before scheduling.
