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 San Leon, TX
Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning is the air duct specialist serving San Leon, TX, and we’re built around a simple standard: total visibility from the first call to the final invoice. Homes here face a combination of salty bay air, high humidity, and long stretch of hurricane season that puts more strain on ductwork than most Texas markets. Most standard air duct cleanings in San Leon run $285 to $525 for a typical single-family home, and every job includes a written price before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why San Leon Homes Are Different
San Leon sits on the western shore of Galveston Bay, which means the air moving through your ducts is humid, salt-laced, and often carrying fine sediment from the bay. That combination shows up in ductwork as a sticky, salty film that grabs onto dust and makes it hard to remove with a basic vacuum pass. We run negative-pressure extraction on every cleaning, meaning the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room.
Housing stock here is a mix of older bay cottages built for fishing families, newer builds near Bayshore Drive, and a lot of raised homes designed to ride out storm surge. Raised foundations mean longer flexible duct runs under the house, and those runs are exposed to more moisture than slab-built homes. We regularly see condensation inside under-floor ductwork, especially along 23rd Street and the newer sections east of 6th Street. The climate also shortens the effective life of dryer vent runs: humid air clings to lint, and a blocked vent gets dangerous faster here than in drier parts of Texas. One local detail worth knowing: many San Leon homes run window units or split systems rather than central HVAC, so the ductwork that exists is often older and was not designed for the salt load it now carries.
Our Main San Leon Services
Three jobs make up most of the calls we handle in San Leon, and each one has its own dedicated page with specifics. Start there for deep detail; here is the quick picture.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leon
Dryer vents clog faster in San Leon than almost anywhere else we work in Texas. Humidity means lint sticks instead of blowing through, and bay winds push fine debris against exterior vent hoods. A Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leon with us means we clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior hood, not just the first few feet. Most jobs take under an hour, and we check flow rate before we leave so you can see the difference in writing.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Leon
This is the full system job: supply and return ducts, registers, and the main trunk line, cleaned with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum extraction so the debris leaves the house rather than recirculating. San Leon’s salt-and-moisture film means a surface-only pass will not do the job. Our Air Duct Cleaning in San Leon page has the full price table and what to expect hour by hour.
HVAC Cleaning in San Leon
Your HVAC system’s air handler, blower, and evaporator coil collect the same salty film your ducts do, and a dirty coil makes the whole system run hot and expensive. HVAC Cleaning in San Leon covers the mechanical side: coil cleaning, blower wheel service, and drain pan treatment that matters a lot when humidity is this high. We combine this with duct work when the system needs the full pass.

We have not run into San Leon HOA rules that restrict duct or vent cleaning. If your home is in a subdivision with an active association, the work is interior and does not touch common areas, so approval is almost never needed. We are happy to provide a written work description if your HOA asks for one.
