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 Palmer, TX
Air duct cleaning in Palmer, TX typically runs $450 – $900 for a whole-home system, and the job usually takes four to six hours. What makes Palmer different is the dust itself: this town sits on Blackland Prairie clay that breaks down into a fine, adhesive particulate during summer drought, and older homes here move huge volumes of it through aging flex-duct runs. We’re Linden Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our Palmer service around that reality. Call (980) 447-2498 for an exact quote.
Why Palmer Homes Are Different
Palmer’s housing stock is mostly ranch-style and rural homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s. That means original flex-duct systems routed through unconditioned attics, where summer temperatures routinely hit 140 – 150°F. The ducts bake for months at a time while the AC cycles seven to eight months a year. Flex-duct liner degrades under that heat, connections loosen, and unconditioned attic air gets pulled straight into the supply stream.
Then there’s the soil. Palmer sits directly on the Blackland Prairie, and the clay here is notorious for shrink-swell behavior. During peak summer drought, that clay cracks open around foundations and utility conduit penetrations. Those seasonal gaps let ultra-fine clay dust bypass return-air filters entirely and cake onto duct interiors and evaporator coils. Add Ellis County’s cotton, sorghum, and small-grain activity, and Palmer ducts accumulate a compacting layer of clay-and-crop-dust debris that’s heavier and more adhesive than what you’d see in Ennis or Waxahachie. Some older pier-and-beam homes in Palmer also run ductwork beneath the floor, where soil moisture and rodent activity create their own contamination problems.
Our Main Palmer Services
Palmer homeowners call us most often for full-system cleaning and dryer vent work, with repair calls close behind. Each service has its own Palmer page with pricing, process, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palmer
Full-system Air Duct Cleaning in Palmer uses negative-pressure extraction to pull the clay-and-crop-dust layer out of your ducts without scattering it through the house. In Palmer, we pay special attention to return-air chases and evaporator coils, because the Blackland Prairie dust that gets past filters settles exactly there. We photograph the interior of your ducts before and after so you can see what came out and what’s left behind. Most Palmer homes take four to six hours.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmer
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmer clears the lint trap bypass, the vent pipe, and the exterior termination point. Palmer homes with long vent runs through walls or crawl spaces are especially prone to compacted lint plugs, and those plugs make your dryer work harder while creating a fire hazard. We inspect the full run, remove the blockages, and verify airflow at the exterior vent before we leave.
Air Duct Repair in Palmer
Air Duct Repair in Palmer addresses the connection failures and liner degradation that Palmer’s attic heat causes. Disconnected flex-duct pulls dusty, 140-degree attic air directly into your living space, and you’ll notice it as uneven cooling and a persistent film on furniture. We reseal connections, replace damaged liner, and repair undersized or collapsed runs. Every repair is covered by a written 365-Day Done Right Promise.

What Palmer Customers Say
"Tech arrived with a badge and a printed sheet of what he'd be doing. Ran a camera through the main trunk before and after so I could see the dust difference. Vents smell cleaner already."
- Gina R."Priced by the system, not by the vent, and he told me up front. No pressure to add the sanitizer and I said no without any fuss."
- 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.
