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 Richwood
Air duct cleaning in Richwood runs between $390 and $780 for a full residential system, with most homes wrapping up in four to seven hours.

We serve every neighborhood in Richwood, from Oyster Creek Drive down to Brazoswood and out toward the FM 2004 corridor, and our crews know exactly what Gulf Coast humidity and the Brazosport petrochemical corridor do to ductwork here. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Linden Air Duct Cleaning Is Richwood’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Richwood homeowners deal with a problem most Texas cities don’t: fine industrial particulate from the Dow complex in Freeport settling into duct runs on top of relentless coastal mold pressure. That combination means a surface-level cleaning here falls apart fast. We’ve built our approach around actual source removal, because anything less leaves the biofilm and industrial silt in place and the musty odor returns within one humid season. Our Air Duct Cleaning team uses camera inspection before and after every job, so you see what was in there and what’s gone.
Every technician who arrives at your Richwood door is background-checked, identity-verified, and photo-badged under the Threshold Standard. Before the visit, we send you the tech’s name and photo. At the door, they show a photo ID badge. That’s been our protocol since 2004, and it matters here because homeowners in Richwood are right to be careful about who’s coming inside. Marcus Veale, who leads our team, holds every job to this standard. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, no voicemail loops.
We’re part of the Threshold Group family, operating to the Threshold Verified standard since 2004. Dispatch and scheduling run from the Dallas-Fort Worth office, but the crews who work Richwood live and operate locally. That means we know the slab-on-grade ranch stock built in the 1960s through 1980s, the attic temperatures that hit 140°F in August, and the post-Harvey ductwork that never got properly remediated.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Richwood
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Richwood typically runs $1,200 to $3,800 depending on system size, duct run length, and access. Restaurants, medical offices, daycares, and any storefront near the Brazosport corridor fight the same dual-contamination problem homeowners do, just at higher airflow volume. A commercial clean here involves negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, camera-documented source removal, and cleaning of the air handler, blower assembly, supply ducts, and return ducts. For commercial jobs we schedule a walkthrough first, provide a written price, and plan cleanup around operating hours so you’re not shutting down longer than necessary.
Duct Inspection and Documentation
Before we touch anything, we run a camera through the supply and return runs and photograph what’s actually inside. For Richwood commercial clients that’s not a sales gimmick. It’s how we document industrial particulate load, mold colonization, and any Harvey-era residual silt so you have a baseline. After the job you get before-and-after photos for your records.
Air Handler and Blower Cleaning
We clean the air handler, blower wheel, evaporator coil, and drain pan. Petrochemical dust and Gulf Coast humidity gum up blower assemblies faster in Richwood than almost anywhere else in Texas, and if you skip this step the blower just re-contaminates the ducts within weeks. It’s part of every commercial clean we do, not an add-on.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Richwood
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Richwood start with a camera inspection of your supply runs, return runs, plenum, air handler, and registers. A full residential job using negative-pressure extraction and HEPA filtration typically falls between $390 and $780, and includes source removal on all supply and return ducts, cleaning of the air handler and blower, and post-clean photo documentation. We also offer supply duct cleaning and return duct cleaning as standalone jobs if you’re chasing a specific complaint. Video inspection is always included with a full system clean.
Supply and Return Duct Restoration
Most Richwood homes from the 1960s to 1980s still carry original or early-replacement flex duct. That’s 40 to 60 years of accumulated lint, petrochemical film, and mold spores. We clean supply and return runs separately and thoroughly, because they fail in different ways: supply ducts carry particulate from the air handler, return ducts pull in whatever’s floating through the house.
Post-Harvey Duct Inspection
If your home took water in 2017 and the HVAC powered back on, you may still have silt and mold inside flex duct that was never remediated. We see it regularly in Richwood homes where the floors were dried and the walls repaired, but nobody pulled a camera through the ducts. A video inspection answers that question in under an hour.

Trusted Brands We Service in Richwood
We work on all major HVAC brands and stock common parts for Richwood systems, including components compatible with Trane, Carrier, Goodman, Lennox, and Rheem units. Our cleaning equipment comes from Rotobrush and Nikro, both trade-trusted names. We also work with air-quality products from Honeywell and Abatement Technologies. That matters because Richwood’s particulate load is heavy enough that a basic box-store filter won’t keep up. If you want filtration that actually handles industrial particulate and mold spores, we’ll show you options that fit your existing system without overselling you.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Richwood Homes
- Industrial particulate from the Brazosport corridor. Fine dust from the Dow Freeport complex settles in duct runs and recirculates constantly. It forms a black, lint-like coating on blower motors and register blades, and it returns within months if the duct interior isn’t actually cleaned.
- Mold colonization in flex duct liners. Richwood’s summer dew points routinely exceed 75°F, and attic temperatures hit 140°F. That combination makes mold growth inside duct liners and insulation nearly inevitable within a few years of installation, even without flooding.
- Post-Harvey silt and residual mold. We regularly open ducts in slab-on-grade ranch homes and find silty sediment and active mold in flex runs that were never remediated after 2017. Homeowners assumed the system was fine because it powered back on. It wasn’t.
- Fogging treatments that didn’t hold. A fogging sanitiser can kill surface mold briefly, but it leaves the biofilm, the industrial silt, and the food source intact. In Richwood’s humidity, colonization comes back within one season. We’ve seen homeowners pay for fogging twice before finding us.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Richwood
Richwood sits on the low-lying Gulf Coastal Plain near the Brazos River delta, so summer dew points routinely stay above 75°F. That near-constant moisture load, combined with attic temperatures over 140°F, creates conditions where mold colonizes duct liners and insulation within a few years of installation. Drier Texas metros like Dallas or Fort Worth don’t see this nearly as fast. The fix is source removal under negative pressure, not a fogging treatment. Call (980) 447-2498 to schedule a camera inspection.
Yes. Fine petrochemical particulates from the Brazosport corridor settle into residential duct systems on top of the normal household dust and mold. We see a black, lint-like coating on blower motors and register blades in Richwood homes that’s distinct from what you’d find in inland Houston suburbs. It requires aggressive agitation and HEPA-filtered extraction to remove, and it comes back if the air handler isn’t cleaned at the same time. Call us for an inspection and written estimate.
Almost certainly yes. We’ve opened flex duct in Richwood homes where the floors were dried and the walls repaired, but the duct interiors still carried silty sediment and active mold from 2017. Systems that powered back on were never actually clean. A camera inspection tells you in under an hour whether your ducts are still carrying Harvey residue. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll schedule one.
No. Fogging kills surface mold briefly, but it leaves the biofilm, the industrial silt, and the organic material that mold feeds on. In Richwood’s humidity, colonization returns within one season. You want source removal: agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, plus cleaning of the air handler and blower. That’s what actually removes the problem. We’ll show you before-and-after photos to prove it.
Because petrochemical particulates and Gulf Coast humidity load the blower wheel and evaporator coil faster in Richwood than in drier cities. If you clean the ducts but skip the air handler, the blower just re-contaminates the supply and return ducts within weeks. Every full system cleaning we do in Richwood includes the air handler and blower assembly. It’s not an add-on. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written quote.
Contact Linden Air Duct Cleaning in Richwood
We recently worked a 1972 slab-on-grade ranch in the Oyster Creek area of Richwood where the homeowner had replaced the HVAC after Harvey but never touched the ductwork. Pulling the plenum revealed silty sediment and active mold colonization inside the original flex runs, plus a heavy black lint pathway coating the blower motor from years of industrial particulate. Using camera inspection and agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, we performed source removal on the supply and return ducts, cleaned the air handler and registers, and verified with post-clean photos. The homeowner said the musty odor that had lingered since 2017 was finally gone.
That’s what we do. Not fogging upsells, not surface wipes. Real removal with photo documentation before and after. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job: if it’s not right, we make it right. Call (980) 447-2498 today for a free estimate and a written price before any work begins.
