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 Southlake, TX
Air duct cleaning in Southlake typically runs $380 – $620 for a standard single-system home, with dryer vent cleaning at $110 – $180 and HVAC cleaning between $300 – $550. Southlake’s mix of 1990s and early-2000s two-story homes, heavy landscaping, and hot Texas summers means ducts here collect more dust, pollen, and construction debris than most Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs. Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning gives you a written price before any work starts, and we back every job with a 365-day promise. Call (737) 727-2314.
Why Southlake Homes Are Different
Southlake is not a typical cookie-cutter suburb. The housing stock skews large, with a lot of two-story floor plans built between the late 1980s and early 2010s across neighborhoods like Timarron, Clariden Ranch, and Carillon. That matters for ductwork because longer runs and double return systems move more air through more twists and turns, which gives dust more surface area to settle on. We regularly see homes here where the original flex duct from construction is still in place twenty-plus years later.
The climate adds a layer on top. Southlake gets hot, humid summers and short but real winters, so systems cycle a lot. Oak and pecan pollen from mature lots, fine clay dust that blows in from open fields around the south and west edges of town, and occasional renovation work inside these larger homes all find their way into the return side of the system. Add in a home that backs up to a greenbelt or Lake Grapevine and you get the kind of particulate load that a basic visual inspection will miss but a negative-pressure extraction, which pulls loosened debris straight into the vacuum instead of back into your living room, will pull out by the pound.
Southlake also has strict property standards. HOAs here, particularly in the master-planned sections, are active about exterior appearance, which pushes a lot of cosmetic work indoors where no one can see it. That means renovation dust, drywall particulate, and even spray-foam residue floating into return plenums more often than in older, less-managed cities.
Our Main Southlake Services
Southlake homeowners call us most often for two things: dryer vent cleaning, because long vent runs behind laundry rooms on interior walls here are a real fire hazard, and full air duct cleaning, because these bigger homes simply hold more dust than the filter can catch. Here is what each one involves.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Southlake
Many Southlake homes route their dryer vent up through an interior wall and out a roof jack, sometimes 15 to 25 feet of pipe with two or three elbows. Every bend catches lint, and a long run like that is exactly where clogs form. We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the outside termination, verify airflow with a manometer, and document the before-and-after with photos. If you have not had it done since moving in, schedule it now. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Southlake has the full breakdown.
Air Duct Cleaning in Southlake
We clean supply and return ducts using a Rotobrush rotary brush system paired with a Nikro HEPA-rated negative-air vacuum. That combination scrubs the duct walls and then pulls everything loose straight into the HEPA filter, not into your home. Southlake homes with pets, kids, or recent renovation work almost always need the return side done too, since that is where the bulk of fine dust settles. Air Duct Cleaning in Southlake covers the full process and what to expect.
HVAC Cleaning in Southlake
Ducts are only half the system. The evaporator coil, blower wheel, and drain pan are where moisture and dust combine into a film that cuts airflow and cooling. In a Southlake summer, that means longer runtimes and higher electric bills. We pull and clean the blower, inspect the coil, and clear the condensate line so the whole system breathes. HVAC Cleaning in Southlake explains the service in detail.

What pushes a Southlake quote toward the higher end is square footage and system count. Most homes here have two systems, and a two-story with dual returns and long flex runs simply takes more time to clean properly. Whatever the number is, you get it in writing before we touch a single vent, and that number does not move.
