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 Austin, TX
Air duct cleaning in Austin costs between $390 and $780 for a typical single-family home, depending on square footage, the number of returns, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. What makes Austin different from Dallas or Houston is the cedar pollen cycle: from December through February, Ashe juniper releases ultra-fine pollen that gets pulled into return ducts and recirculates for months. We’re Linden Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our Austin service around the specific way this city’s homes collect and hold onto that particulate. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written quote before anyone books a visit.
Why Austin Homes Are Different
Austin’s housing stock creates a distinct set of duct problems. The core neighborhoods – Hyde Park, Crestview, Allandale, Windsor Park – are full of 1950s-to-1970s ranch homes with flex duct running through unconditioned attics. Those attics hit 140 to 150 degrees every summer. The heat breaks down flex duct insulation and mastic seals over time, which means a routine cleaning job here often turns into a duct-integrity inspection. We find collapsed sections at joints and bends in east Austin corridors like Windsor Park and Rundberg with enough regularity that we warn homeowners about it before we start.
Then there’s the 2000s-to-2010s boom construction. Tens of thousands of tract homes went up during the tech expansion, and plenty of those duct systems still carry drywall dust and insulation debris from the original build. That’s not a defect in the workmanship – it’s just what happens when a house is built fast and the ducts are never cleaned after. Austin’s cooling season runs May through October, often with AC running continuously through stretches above 100 degrees. That runtime pushes more air through the system than a shorter-season climate ever would, so debris accumulates faster than homeowners expect.
And the cedar. From December through February, Austin sits in the middle of the Ashe juniper belt of the Texas Hill Country. The pollen event is intense enough to have its own local name: cedar fever. The particulates are fine enough to pass through a standard filter, enter the duct system, and keep recirculating long after the visible pollen has settled. For the city’s large cedar-sensitive population, a post-season duct cleaning in March or April is less about maintenance and more about being able to breathe in your own house again.
Our Main Austin Services
Austin homeowners typically call us for one of three things: a full duct cleaning after years of accumulated pollen and construction dust, a dryer vent cleaning to clear the lint that Austin’s hard water and humidity turn into a stubborn blockage, or a duct repair after attic heat has taken its toll on aging flex runs. Each service has its own Austin page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Austin
The job here means negative-pressure extraction: we connect a vacuum system to the ductwork and pull debris out under pressure rather than pushing it around with a brush. In Austin, the debris load is usually a mix of cedar pollen, attic dust that’s migrated through unsealed return plenums, and in newer homes, a layer of construction dust that’s been there since the day the house was finished. Full details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Austin page, including how we handle the flex duct that’s common in older Austin attics.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin
Dryer vents in Austin clog faster than you’d think, because the lint that passes through the trap collects in the vent run and then hardens with the humidity that sits in unconditioned attic spaces for most of the year. Laundry rooms here are often interior, which means longer vent runs and more places for lint to accumulate. The full Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin page covers what we find in typical Austin layouts and what the job costs.
Air Duct Repair in Austin
When attic heat degrades flex duct insulation or the mastic seals at joints fail, the repair is rarely a one-spot patch. We typically find multiple sections in a single system that need attention, and we give you a written repair plan with a per-section price before any work begins. The Air Duct Repair in Austin page explains what’s covered under our written repair guarantee and what happens if a repair doesn’t hold.

What pushes the price up in Austin is accessibility: attics here are hot and tight, and older ranch homes often have duct runs that are hard to reach without pulling insulation back. When a system has been neglected for a decade or more, the debris load itself adds labor time. Our price is written before work begins, always, and it does not change at the end of the job. If we open an access panel and find something unexpected, we stop and give you a new written price before we touch it.

Yes, and that’s a real pattern we see every year. March and April bookings spike after cedar season ends, because the pollen that accumulated from December through February keeps recirculating until the ducts are cleaned. If your allergies are worse inside than outside, that’s often the reason. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll give you an honest read on whether cleaning will help.
Duct cleaning is interior work and falls outside HOA and permit requirements in Austin, for both single-family homes and townhomes. No city permit is required for cleaning, vent cleaning, or minor duct repair. If you’re in a condo building, we’ll coordinate access with property management, but the job itself doesn’t need any approval.

What Austin Customers Say
"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."Thorough job on all eleven vents and the main trunk. Took longer than the three hours they quoted, but he told me early and kept working. Air feels fresher."
