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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Converse
Air duct cleaning in Converse typically runs $380 – $690 for a full single-family home, and most jobs are finished in four to six hours. We work in Converse every week, so we know the houses here: the 1970s tract builds off FM 1516, the slab homes tucked behind Old Seguin Road, the rental pockets near the Randolph fence line. When you call Linden Air Duct Cleaning at (980) 447-2498, you get a written price before any work starts, along with the name and photo of the technician who will arrive at your door.
Why Linden Air Duct Cleaning Is Converse’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Converse homeowners deal with a specific set of duct problems that a generic duct cleaning outfit from across the metro won’t recognize until they’re already inside the attic. We see original flex duct from the 1980s and 1990s that’s sagging between joists, crushed at the takeoffs, and shedding inner liner into the airstream. We see duct board from the 1970s with fiberglass fibers that have been circulating through the house for years. Knowing what these systems look like before we open the attic door means we can tell you honestly whether a cleaning will solve the problem or whether sections need to be rebuilt.
We’re part of the Air Duct Cleaning team at Linden, operating to the Threshold Verified standard since 2004. Every technician who serves Converse is background-checked, identity-verified, photo-badged, and introduced to you by name and photo before the visit. At the door, they show a photo ID badge. When you call, a live person answers, 24/7. No voicemail loops, no call centers reading scripts.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Converse
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Converse start with a written price for the whole system, agreed before any equipment comes off the truck. A typical single-family home here runs $380 – $690 depending on square footage, number of returns, and how badly the system has been neglected. We use negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment: a high-powered vacuum creates suction at the plenum while agitation tools knock debris loose from the duct walls, so the dust, pet hair, caliche grit, and construction debris actually leave the house instead of getting stirred up and resettling.
Full System Cleaning
We clean the supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, and the plenum. In Converse homes with attic-routed ductwork, we also inspect the runs for disconnects and crushed sections while we work, because a disconnected duct pulls attic air into your supply side no matter how clean the rest of the system is.
Video Inspection
Every job in Converse includes a camera inspection of the main trunk and accessible runs. This is where we catch the inner liner flaking, the collapsed flex sections, and the gaps at takeoffs that cleaning alone won’t fix. You see the footage, and you decide what gets addressed.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Converse
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Converse means cleaning the entire path your air travels: the return side that pulls air from the house, the supply side that pushes conditioned air back, and the coils, blower, and plenum in between. In Converse homes where the AC runs nearly continuously from May through September, the blower and coils gather a layer of the same dust that fills the ducts. A full HVAC duct cleaning here runs $450 – $750 for most homes, and it takes most of a day because the airflow hours on these systems are among the highest in Texas.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
We clean both sides separately because they fail differently in Converse houses. Return ducts pull from the hallway and living areas, and we often find decades of carpet fiber and pet hair packed into the return drop. Supply ducts in attic runs are more likely to show crushed flex and disconnected takeoffs, especially in late-1980s and 1990s slab homes where the ductwork has been through thirty-plus Texas summers at 140°F.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Converse Homes
- Crushed flex duct in attic runs: Attic temperatures in Converse hit 140°F or higher in summer, which softens flex duct and lets it sag between joists, kink at turns, and pull loose at the takeoffs. That sends conditioned air into the attic instead of your bedrooms.
- Flaking inner liner from 1980s and 1990s systems: Original flex duct from this era uses a plastic inner liner that breaks down after 30-plus years of thermal cycling. The flakes circulate into the living space, and cleaning will not restore a liner that’s already degrading.
- Fiberglass duct board shedding fibers: Homes built in the 1970s in Converse often have trunk lines made from duct board. The inner surface erodes over time, and fibers enter the airstream. Compromised sections need removal and rebuild, not just extraction.
- Caliche construction dust in new developments: Ongoing development around Converse, particularly east toward Cibolo and Schertz, kicks up fine caliche dust that settles into duct systems. New builds and established homes alike see higher dust loads when construction is active nearby.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Converse
Homes near Joint Base San Antonio – Randolph, especially the tract builds from the 1970s through 1990s along FM 1516 and Old Seguin Road, were built with flex duct and duct board that is now 30 – 50 years old. We regularly find collapsing flex runs, disconnected takeoffs, and degraded inner liners that no amount of cleaning will correct. The compromised sections have to be removed and rebuilt. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll walk you through what a camera inspection is likely to show.
Yes. From December through February, Ashe juniper pollen from the Hill Country moves through the metro in enormous quantities, and Converse residents run their HVAC systems heavily for recirculated indoor air during that season. That means the allergens don’t just sit outside; they get pulled into the return ducts and pushed back through the supply side. Combined with the near-continuous AC runtime in summer, Converse ducts see some of the highest annual airflow hours in the state. A system that’s already carrying dust and debris just keeps recirculating it. A professional cleaning is the fastest way to reduce that indoor load, and we’ll provide a written price before any work begins.
In slab homes from this era, the ductwork is almost always routed through the attic, where it has been heat-cycling for decades. We typically find sagging flex duct between joists, crushed sections where home repairs or storage compressed the runs, disconnected joints at supply takeoffs, and inner liner flaking. We also commonly find gaps where the plenum meets the trunk line. We show you the footage and explain what means what before we recommend any repair.
In the rental-heavy neighborhoods near the base, tenants rotate on 2 – 3 year PCS cycles. The incoming family assumes the landlord had the ducts cleaned between tenants; the landlord assumes the previous tenant handled it. In practice, many of these systems have not been professionally cleaned in a decade or more. If you just moved into a rental in Converse and you don’t know the duct history, a cleaning with a camera inspection is the fastest way to find out what’s actually in there. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll give you a written price first.
Ask whether the company uses negative-pressure extraction, not just a brush-and-shop-vac approach. Ask whether they inspect the full system with a camera before and after. Ask whether they will give you a written price for the whole system before any work begins, and ask what happens if the work doesn’t hold. At Linden, every job includes negative-pressure extraction, a camera inspection, a written price agreed before work starts, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right, we make it right, in writing, on every job. Every repair also carries a written guarantee with a free second visit if the repair fails.
