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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Conway

Why Linden Air Duct Cleaning Is Conway’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve spent a lot of time crawling through attics in Conway’s ranch neighborhoods, so we know what the homes here hide: flex duct from the 1980s and 1990s that disconnects at the boot, plenum boxes sweating from lake humidity, and years of fine dust packed into return drops. Marcus Veale leads our team, and he insists that every Conway job start with a camera inspection before any cleaning begins. That’s not an upsell. It’s how we know what’s actually wrong. Our technicians working Conway homes carry Rotobrush and Nikro negative-pressure equipment, and every one of them is background-checked, identity-verified, and photo-badged under the Threshold Standard. You’ll get the tech’s name and photo before the visit. When they knock on your door, they’ll show a photo ID. No surprises, no anonymous vans.
What keeps Conway homeowners calling us back is that we tell the truth about what cleaning can and cannot fix. A crushed flex run in an attic that hits 150°F won’t fix itself. Neither will a disconnected boot. We’ll show you the camera footage, explain what it means, and give you a written price before any work starts. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails, we come back at no charge. That’s been our standing commitment since 2004, not a limited-time offer.
Air Duct Inspection in Conway
Air Duct Inspection in Conway is the first thing we do on every job, and the reason is straightforward: Conway’s lakeside humidity and aging attic duct runs mean the visible vents usually tell you very little about what’s happening deeper in the system. We run a video camera through your supply and return ducts before we ever hook up cleaning equipment. In Conway’s 1950s through 1970s slab-on-grade ranch homes, that inspection routinely turns up crushed flex runs, disconnected boots, and mold growth at the plenum, all of which change the scope and cost of the job. Inspection-only visits run $95 to $145 depending on the number of systems and accessibility of the attic.
Mold and Moisture Findings
When we inspect ducts near Lake Gatlin or Little Lake Conway, we expect to see condensation. The water vapor off the chain of lakes keeps indoor humidity high enough that standard AC dehumidification often falls short during spring and fall. That moisture settles in duct boots and plenums, and mold follows. The inspection tells us whether what we’re seeing is surface contamination cleanable with HEPA agitation and negative pressure, or whether portions of the ductwork should be replaced outright.
Retrofit Ductwork Assessment
Many Conway homes had central air added after construction, which means flex duct runs were routed through attics originally designed for nothing but rafters and insulation. Those attics regularly hit 140 to 160°F in July and August. That heat degrades flex duct outer jackets, causing collapses and disconnections you’d never notice from inside the house. Our inspection maps those failures, so the cleaning team knows exactly what to clean and what to repair before the job starts.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Conway
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Conway means removing years of accumulated dust, pollen, pet dander, and biological debris from the full duct system: supplies, returns, boots, registers, and plenums. A typical Conway ranch or split-level runs $285 to $590 for a full-system cleaning, while larger homes with multiple air handlers or significant mold contamination can reach $690 to $890. The work uses Rotobrush and Nikro negative-pressure equipment with HEPA filtration, so debris is pulled out of the house, not blown around in it. We set up containment at the return side and work the ducts with pneumatic agitation to break debris loose, then draw it all into the filtration system.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Conway’s AC systems run 10 to 11 months a year, which is far longer than northern systems. That extended duty cycle deposits a disproportionate amount of debris in both supply and return runs, and returns often carry a heavier load because they pull from living spaces where people, pets, and fabric constantly shed particles. We clean both sides separately, using different access points, because the failure modes differ: supplies tend to trap debris at the far ends near register boots, while returns compact material at bends and at the base of the return drop.
Boot and Plenum Remediation
The boots, the metal or plastic fittings that connect duct runs to floor registers, are where Conway’s humidity does its worst work. Standing condensation in boots near lake-adjacent homes feeds mold that the average homeowner never sees, behind the register grille. We remove and clean registers and accessible boots, treat visible biological growth, and when a boot has failed and separated from the duct run, we seal or replace it. This is the difference between a cleaning that lasts and one that just moves air past a problem for a few months.
Trusted Brands We Service in Conway
Conway homes contain a mix of duct materials and component brands, and we’re set up to work with all of them. Our crews are trained on Rotobrush and Nikro cleaning platforms, and we keep replacement parts on the trucks for common Conway failures: flex duct, takeoff collars, register boots, mastic, and foil tape. We also install and service air-quality products from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman, including media filtration and UV systems, when a Conway homeowner’s inspection shows microbial activity that cleaning alone won’t fully resolve. We don’t make you wait while a part ships from a supplier across the state. If the part is common to Conway’s housing stock, we probably have it on the truck.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Conway Homes
- Crushed or disconnected flex runs under the attic insulation. Retrofit AC meant flex duct got draped over trusses and buried under insulation. Years of summer heat and attic foot traffic leave runs kinked, collapsed, or separated from the boot, so clean air never reaches the room. Cleaning alone won’t fix this; the run has to be repaired or replaced.
- Condensation-fed mold in boots and plenums near the lakes. The chain of lakes keeps ambient humidity elevated, and the shoulder seasons are the worst. We see standing water in plenums and active mold inside boots on Little Lake Conway and the streets around Lake Gatlin even when the rest of the house looks dry and well-maintained.
- Debris piled in return drops because the blower was never pulled and cleaned. A return drop is a vertical duct segment that pulls air into the blower. Debris gathers at the base, and if the cleaning leaves the blower motor assembly untouched, that packed debris stays in the airstream. We clean the full pathway, including the blower assembly, not just the visible duct runs.
- Register hardware glued to years of buildup. In Conway ranch homes, floor registers often sit for a decade without removal. The accumulation of dust, pet hair, and humidity-formed gunk makes them nearly impossible to lift. We free them, clean underneath, and fix any that have corroded or warped from moisture.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Conway
Because Lake Conway, Lake Gatlin, Lake Pineloch, and Little Lake Conway put constant water vapor into the air, and that humidity overwhelms the dehumidification capacity of most residential AC systems during spring and fall. The moisture condenses inside the coolest parts of the duct system: the boots, the return drop, and the plenum. Mold grows there even when the rest of the home appears spotless. Call (980) 447-2498 for a camera inspection if you suspect this in your home.
Yes. Retrofit systems in Conway’s slab-on-grade ranches often have flex duct routed through attics that were never designed for it. Those attics get hot enough to weaken the flex duct, causing collapses and disconnections. A proper cleaning for a retrofit home includes a video inspection to find those failures, and often includes sealing or replacing boots and runs rather than just cleaning the visible ductwork. Call (980) 447-2498 for an estimate that accounts for the way your home was actually built.
A proper cleaning means connecting negative-pressure extraction equipment with HEPA filtration to the supply and return sides of the system, sealing off registers, and agitating the interior duct walls to dislodge debris. It also means removing and cleaning registers and accessible boots, cleaning the return drop, and pulling the blower assembly if needed. In Conway, where humidity drives biological growth, it also means treating accessible mold and telling you honestly if certain components should be replaced. Call (980) 447-2498 for a detailed scope and written price.
Sometimes cleaning fixes it. Often it doesn’t. If a flex run is crushed or a boot has disconnected, the air can never reach the room regardless of how clean the ducts are. We find these failures routinely in Conway’s post-WWII ranch homes. That’s why every job starts with a video inspection: we show you what’s actually wrong before we recommend a scope. If a repair is needed, it’s covered by a written guarantee. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll tell you what the camera shows.
Most Conway homes should be inspected every 2 to 3 years and cleaned every 4 to 6 years, assuming no major renovations, water intrusion, or pest activity. Homes very close to the lakes, or homes with pets and allergy concerns, often benefit from cleaning every 3 to 5 years. The combination of year-round AC operation and elevated lake humidity means debris and biological growth accumulate faster here than in drier parts of Central Florida. Call (980) 447-2498 for a free assessment of your system’s schedule.
