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 Wells Branch, TX
Air duct cleaning in Wells Branch, TX typically runs $450 – $850 for a full system on a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in half a day. Wells Branch homes sit on Austin’s north edge, where cedar pollen, limestone dust, and fast-growing suburban landscaping put real strain on ductwork. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005. Omar Haddad leads our crew, and you can reach us at (737) 727-2314 any time.
Why Wells Branch Homes Are Different
Wells Branch wasn’t built all at once. You’ll find original 1980s single-story homes along Wells Port Drive and around the Wells Branch Parkway corridor, plus newer construction near the Mopac side. That mix matters for ductwork. Older homes here often have flex duct that’s been through 30+ Central Texas summers, and we regularly find disconnected runs in attics where insulation has settled. Newer builds have their own issue: construction dust left in the returns because builders ran the HVAC during drywall and flooring work.
The climate drives the rest. Wells Branch gets real cedar season in January and February, followed by oak pollen in the spring. That pollen finds its way into return ducts and recirculates. The humidity swings – damp spring mornings, blast-furnace August afternoons – create exactly the conditions where dust sticks to duct walls instead of blowing through. Add in the limestone-heavy soil around Wells Branch that tracks in as fine white dust, and you have a system that loads up faster than homeowners expect.
Most Wells Branch neighborhoods we work in have active HOAs, but none restrict air duct cleaning. What we do see is driveway access that’s tighter than Austin proper, so our trucks and containment equipment are sized for residential streets, not commercial loading zones.
Our Main Wells Branch Services
Wells Branch homeowners call us most about two things: dryer vents that aren’t moving air and whole-home duct systems that haven’t been cleaned since move-in. Here’s what each job looks like in Wells Branch specifically.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wells Branch
Dryer vents in Wells Branch run longer than they should in many homes, especially where laundry rooms sit on interior walls and the vent has to snake through the attic or crawl to an exterior wall. Long runs collect lint faster, and the humid spring air can turn that lint into a dense, sticky mat. We run a Rotobrush system through the full run, then verify airflow at the exterior termination. It’s a one-visit job, typically under two hours. Full details on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wells Branch.
Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch
A full air duct cleaning in Wells Branch means cleaning every supply and return run, the trunk lines, the plenum, and the register boots. We use a negative-pressure extraction setup – that means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. Wells Branch homes with pets, cedar allergies, or recent renovation work usually see the biggest difference. You’ll get before-and-after photos of the inside of your ducts when we finish. Complete pricing and process detail on Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch.
HVAC Cleaning in Wells Branch
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts to the equipment itself: evaporator coils, blower motor, blower wheel, and drain pan. In Wells Branch, coils get coated with the same cedar pollen and limestone dust that loads up your ducts, and a dirty coil means higher bills and weaker airflow. We pull the blower, clean it properly, and clear the drain line with the coil. It’s the service that makes the most sense right before cooling season hits in April or May.
