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 River Oaks, TX
Air duct cleaning in River Oaks typically runs $450 – $750 for a standard single-system home, and that price holds before a single vent is touched. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and we built this page as the one honest breakdown of what duct work costs and involves in River Oaks specifically. Call (737) 727-2314 if you’d rather just talk it through with a real person.
Why River Oaks Homes Are Different
River Oaks sits on the western edge of Fort Worth’s metro sprawl, and that position shapes the work we do here. Homes in River Oaks skew older, many built between the 1950s and 1980s, which means duct systems have had decades to accumulate dust, pet dander, and the fine silt that blows across the dry North Texas plain. The soil here holds a lot of clay and limestone, and it turns to fine, chalky dust in summer that finds its way through window seals, door sweeps, and eventually into return vents. Add the long cooling season, where AC systems run nearly nonstop from May through September, and River Oaks ducts simply fill faster than the state average. Homeowners off River Oaks Boulevard and Roberts Cut Off Road tell us the same story: dust returns to the furniture within days of cleaning, because it was never fully pulled from the system. The fix is negative-pressure extraction, meaning debris is pulled straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum rather than stirred loose and left to resettle. That detail matters more in River Oaks than in most Texas cities.
Our Main River Oaks Services
Most River Oaks homeowners call us for one of three things: dryer vent cleaning, full air duct cleaning, or HVAC system cleaning. Each job has its own page because each works differently and has different pricing. Here’s the short version of all three.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in River Oaks
Dryer vents in River Oaks homes often run longer than they should, snaking through walls or attics before reaching the exterior. That’s a lint trap waiting to happen. We run a rotating brush through the full vent run and verify airflow at the exterior exit point. The dryer vent gets its own dedicated page because it’s a separate risk profile, and frankly, a separate price. Dryer Vent Cleaning in River Oaks covers local costs and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in River Oaks
This is the full system: supply and return ducts, boots, and the plenum. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with Nikro HEPA vacuums to scrub and extract without blowing debris back into your living space. River Oaks homes with original ductwork from the 60s and 70s often show 1 – 2 inches of packed dust in the return. That’s not something a quick vacuum pass fixes. Air Duct Cleaning in River Oaks has the full pricing table and process breakdown.
HVAC Cleaning in River Oaks
The HVAC cleaning service covers the equipment side: blower motor, evaporator coil, housing, and condensate pan. In River Oaks, where AC runs heavy for half the year, coil buildup is the number one reason systems lose cooling capacity by August. We clean the components that handle hundreds of cubic feet of air per minute. HVAC Cleaning in River Oaks explains what’s included and what it should cost.
