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 Richardson, TX
Air duct cleaning in Richardson, TX typically costs between $350 and $650 for a whole-home system, and the job usually takes 2 to 4 hours depending on home size and duct condition. Richardson’s older housing stock, heavy clay soil, and long cooling season create a specific set of duct problems that newer suburbs simply don’t face. At Linden Air Duct Cleaning, we send a background-checked technician whose name and photo you receive before the visit, and we put the price in writing before any work begins. Call (980) 447-2498 for a free estimate.
Why Richardson Homes Are Different
Richardson’s residential core was built heavily between the late 1950s and the 1970s, which means slab-on-grade ranch and split-level homes dominate neighborhoods like Canyon Creek, Richardson Heights, and Arapaho Heights. Many of these houses still run original or first-generation ductwork through unconditioned attics. That matters because Richardson sits on Blackland Prairie clay. The soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, and over decades that movement shifts slabs and torques attic duct connections. Trunk-to-branch collars pull a quarter to a half inch out of alignment, and conditioned air bleeds into the attic instead of reaching the rooms.
We see this constantly in Canyon Creek and the older west-side neighborhoods. A homeowner calls because one bedroom never cools right, and we find a duct collar that’s shifted just enough to leak air all summer. The February 2021 winter storm added another layer: attic temperatures swung hard enough to produce condensation inside older duct insulation across the DFW suburbs, and we’re still discovering mold growth in Richardson homes years later. Add Richardson’s May-through-early-October cooling season and the cedar and oak pollen that settles into return ducts, and you get systems that accumulate dust and biological growth faster than most homeowners expect.
Our Main Richardson Services
Richardson homeowners call us most often for two things: cleaning ductwork that has never been touched or was last cleaned years ago, and repairing ducts that have separated, sagged, or grown mold from the conditions above. Each service has its own Richardson page with full pricing and job details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Richardson
Whole-home duct cleaning in Richardson means negative-pressure extraction through every supply and return run, not just a quick vacuum at the register. We set up professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro at the air handler, seal the system, and pull dust, pollen, and debris out rather than pushing it around. In Richardson’s older homes, we routinely find decades of fine clay dust settled into the returns, along with cedar pollen from spring and early summer. See the full process, pricing, and what to expect on the dedicated page. Air Duct Cleaning in Richardson
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richardson
Richardson dryer vents run through walls and attics in homes built when dryer safety standards were looser, and lint builds up fast in long or multi-turn runs. We clean the full vent path from the dryer to the exterior termination, including the lint trap bypass, and we clear blockages that restrict airflow. Given how much lint a Richardson household produces with year-round laundry use, a vent last cleaned two or more years ago is usually due. Get the details and pricing on our service page.

Air Duct Repair in Richardson
When clay soil movement pulls duct collars apart, repair means more than tape. We re-secure separated joints, replace collapsed or torn flex runs, re-insulate exposed sections, and seal connections with mastic made for the purpose. In Richardson specifically, we look for trunk-to-branch collars shifted out of alignment and air-handler platforms twisted by slab movement, because those are the failures we see most often in homes built from the late 1950s through the 1970s. Every repair includes a written guarantee and a free second visit if it doesn’t hold. Air Duct Repair in Richardson

- Faith N."We had construction dust packed into every register after a remodel. They sealed off the returns, used negative pressure, and left the floors cleaner than they found them."
- Paul E."I liked that I knew who was coming in. Name and photo texted ahead, badge at the door. He was quiet, careful with the furniture, and thorough."
- Cheryl A.
