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.

Wells Branch isn’t like other Austin suburbs. Built out almost entirely during the 1980s as a master-planned community, this area has an unusually uniform housing stock: single-family tract homes and townhomes that all went up within about a decade of each other. That means your ducts are the same age as your neighbor’s – and most of them have never been properly cleaned since the day they were installed. Our Air Duct Cleaning team knows exactly what to expect when we open a register in this community.

Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch covers the office suites, medical buildings, dental practices, and retail spaces that operate along Wells Branch Parkway and the surrounding commercial corridors. These properties share the same 1980s-era duct infrastructure as the residential homes nearby, and many manage air quality for employees and customers with systems that clean frequently. A typical commercial duct cleaning in Wells Branch runs $1,200 – $4,500 depending on square footage, system complexity, and access requirements. Every commercial job includes a written price before work begins and camera inspection before and after cleaning.
Office and Medical Suite Duct Systems
Wells Branch commercial spaces often run extended hours, especially dental offices and clinics near the MUD district. Long run times mean more debris accumulation and faster filter loading. We schedule commercial work around your operating hours to minimize disruption to staff and patients.
Retail and Restaurant Ventilation
Restaurants and retail storefronts in Wells Branch deal with grease vapor, dust from high foot traffic, and constant door openings. We clean supply and return ductwork with negative-pressure extraction equipment sized for commercial volumes, and our Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch service includes post-cleaning camera verification for property managers and owners.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Wells Branch
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Wells Branch begin with a full-system inspection rather than a blind quote. Because so many homes here were built in the 1980s with rigid fiberglass duct board, a standard cleaning that ignores liner condition wastes your money. We assess every run before and after cleaning with video inspection, so you see exactly what we saw and what we did. Residential duct cleaning in Wells Branch typically runs $450 – $900 for a single-family home; homes with crawl spaces, multiple air handlers, or severe delamination fall at the higher end. Duct repair and sealing, when needed, is quoted separately in writing before work begins.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts deliver conditioned air to every room. In Wells Branch homes, these are the runs where we commonly find shedding fiberglass facing, construction debris from the original 1980s build, and years of compacted dust. Return ducts pull air back to the air handler and often collect the heaviest load because they operate at higher static pressure. Both get cleaned with source-removal agitation under negative pressure, and both get camera verification afterward.
Full System Cleaning With Air Handler Care
A full-system clean in Wells Branch includes supply and return ductwork, the air handler, blower motor, and coils. Central Texas mountain cedar pollen coats every surface it reaches, and leaving the blower wheel coated in that biofilm means recontamination within weeks. We clean the entire path air travels through, not just the metal box in the attic.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Wells Branch Homes
- Delaminating duct board shedding fiberglass into the air stream. The rigid fiberglass duct board installed across Wells Branch in the 1980s breaks down after 35 – 40 years. The inner liner separates and sends glass fibers straight into your supply air – a problem a simple cleaning won’t fix without sealing or replacement.
- Crushed or disconnected flex runs in attics. Early-generation flex duct from the 1980s sags, separates at joints, or gets crushed by stored items and attic traffic. We find disconnected runs pulling attic air – hot, dusty, and unfiltered – directly into the system.
- Mountain cedar pollen packed into coils and blower wheels. Wells Branch sits in the middle of Ashe juniper country. From December through February, that pollen surge coats every HVAC component it reaches, and it doesn’t rinse off. It cakes onto blower wheels and coils, reducing airflow and recirculating allergens year-round.
- Construction debris left from the original build. Wells Branch went up fast in the 1980s, and we still pull drywall dust, sawdust, paint chips, and even lunch wrappers out of original ductwork that was never cleaned after construction. Our camera inspections document it, then our cleaning removes it.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch, TX

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch
In many Wells Branch homes, cleaning alone isn’t enough. The rigid fiberglass duct board installed in the 1980s delaminates over 35 – 40 years, and that failure is structural, not just dirty. Our video inspection tells you the difference: if the liner is intact, cleaning does the job. If the facing is shedding into the air stream, the affected runs need Wells Branch Air Duct Repair or replacement before cleaning can deliver lasting results. We show you the camera footage and quote the full scope in writing before any work begins. Call (980) 447-2498 for an inspection.
Because Wells Branch homes run their HVAC systems nearly year-round, and the mountain cedar pollen surge from December through February is only the worst of it. Central Texas has a long allergy season – spring oak, summer grass, fall ragweed – and every time your system cycles, it pulls that particulate load into the ducts. Sealed homes keep air recirculating faster, and the buildup compounds. Annual or every-two-year cleaning keeps the system from becoming a holding tank for allergens. Call (980) 447-2498 to schedule.
It starts with a camera inspection of every accessible run to identify the real problems – delaminated duct board, crushed flex, disconnected joints. Then we clean using source removal: agitation tools loosen debris while negative-pressure extraction pulls it out through HEPA-filtered equipment. The air handler, blower motor, and coils are cleaned as part of the job. Finally, we run the camera again so you can see the result. For Wells Branch homes, we strongly recommend the inspection step – skipping it on a home this age is how people end up paying for a cleaning that doesn’t last.
Yes. We clean office suites, medical and dental offices, retail spaces, and restaurants in Wells Branch and along Wells Branch Parkway. Commercial systems tend to run longer hours and accumulate debris faster, so many Wells Branch property managers schedule annual or semi-annual cleaning. Commercial pricing in Wells Branch typically runs $1,200 – $4,500 depending on square footage and system size, and we can work around your business hours. Marcus Veale quotes every commercial job in writing before any work begins – call (980) 447-2498.
Our technicians run Rotobrush and Nikro source-removal systems, both designed for residential and light commercial duct cleaning. For air-quality upgrades, we install products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. The equipment choice matters because 1980s Wells Branch duct board requires careful agitation – too aggressive and you worsen delamination, too gentle and you leave the coating. Our techs adjust to what the camera shows and the material demands.
