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 Tequesta
Air duct cleaning in Tequesta, FL typically costs between $350 and $650 for a full system cleaning of an average single-family home, with most jobs completed in four to six hours. Condo and apartment systems run $250 to $450 depending on access and how much ductwork is involved. If you’re noticing dust settling back on furniture within days of wiping it down, or your AC runs constantly but rooms still feel stuffy, the ductwork is usually the culprit. Our crews know Tequesta’s canal-front streets, its older concrete-slab homes, and the tight parking around condo buildings off Tequesta Drive. Call (980) 447-2498 to get a written price before any work starts.
Why Linden Air Duct Cleaning Is Tequesta’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We have worked in Tequesta long enough to know that this community’s duct problems are not the same as Palm Beach Gardens or Jupiter. The water on three sides changes everything. When we send a crew to a home off Country Club Drive or a condo near the Lighthouse Cove area, they already know what to expect before the van arrives: high humidity, older flex duct, fiberglass-lined plenums, and return boots that re-contaminate faster than anywhere else in the county. That local knowledge means we do not waste your time diagnosing what we already understand.
Every tech who comes to your door in Tequesta is background-checked, identity-verified, and arrives in a clean, marked uniform. You get the tech’s name and photo before the visit, and they show a photo ID badge at the door. That is the Threshold Standard, and it applies to every single job we run. Homeowners in Tequesta tell us the same thing: they want to know exactly who is walking into their house. So we make that the first thing we guarantee. We have served homeowners since 2004, and the way we operate has not changed: put the price in writing before work begins, show up verified, and do the job right.
Ductwork Cleaning in Tequesta
Ductwork cleaning in Tequesta means removing the accumulated dust, mold, and biological growth that builds up inside your supply and return runs faster than it would in an inland home. The job involves connecting a negative-pressure extraction rig to the air handler, agitating debris loose from the duct walls with Nikro tools, and capturing it through HEPA filtration before it re-enters your living space. For a typical Tequesta slab home built in the 1960s through 1980s, a full residential duct cleaning runs $350 to $650.
Supply and Return Runs
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; return ducts pull air back to the handler. In Tequesta’s riverfront homes, both accumulate moisture-laden dust that bakes onto the duct walls. Our crews clean both runs on every job, not just the sections visible from the register.
Full System Cleaning With Camera Verification
We finish every full system cleaning with a Rotobrush camera inspection so you can see the inside of the ducts before and after. For canal-front homes where moisture re-colonizes quickly, that camera proof matters. You are not taking our word for it; you are looking at your own ductwork on the screen.
Air Duct Inspection in Tequesta
An air duct inspection in Tequesta is a camera-based look at the interior of your ductwork to identify mold growth, debris accumulation, fiberglass shedding from old plenums, and sections that have separated or collapsed. We recommend an inspection if you have lived in the home more than two years without a cleaning, if you have allergy symptoms that worsen indoors, or if you recently bought a 1970s-era home near the Loxahatchee River or a finger canal. A standalone inspection runs $150 to $250 and includes a written summary of what the camera found.
Video Inspection Before You Buy
If you are under contract on a Tequesta home, spend the inspection money before closing. We routinely find active mold in return-air boots of canal-front homes that looked fine during a standard home inspection. A $200 pre-purchase duct inspection can save you a $3,000 mold remediation bill later.
Post-Cleaning Verification
Every cleaning we do in Tequesta ends with a camera pass to confirm the work. The written guarantee on repairs and the 365-Day Done Right Promise both depend on knowing exactly what the ducts looked like when we finished, not what we assume they looked like.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tequesta
Our crews run professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush for agitation and camera inspection, and we use Nikro negative-pressure systems for extraction. We also work with air-quality products from Honeywell and Aprilaire when a homeowner wants filtration upgrades after we clean the system. Because Tequesta’s humidity drives faster mold and debris buildup, we keep the consumables and replacement flex duct on the trucks so we do not have to run back to a supplier mid-job. That means less delay for you when the camera finds a torn section of flex in an attic off Seabrook Road.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Tequesta Homes
- Mold in return-air boots within 12 to 18 months. Canal-front and riverfront homes off the Loxahatchee and its finger canals re-contaminate faster than anywhere else in Palm Beach County. Ground-level moisture wicks through the slab and keeps the return pathway damp year-round.
- Fiberglass-lined plenums shedding into supply runs. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s often have original fiberglass-lined metal plenums. Under Tequesta’s constant humidity, the adhesive breaks down and fibers end up in the air you breathe.
- Truck-mount rigs that cannot reach canal-front drives. Many Tequesta homes sit behind narrow drive approaches or along canal roads with no place to park a large truck. Our compact van-mounted systems are designed to reach those properties without blocking access for neighbors.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in 1970s condo buildings. Condos off Tequesta Drive and near Lighthouse Drive often share a common lint pathway. Building maintenance cleans the trap, but the common run stays blocked. That is the leading factor in dryer fires in these buildings.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Tequesta
Canal-front and Loxahatchee River-front homes in Tequesta should have their return-air boots and duct interiors cleaned every 12 to 18 months. Our techs consistently see active mold regrowth in return boots within 18 months of a prior cleaning on these properties. The water on three sides of the house keeps ground-level humidity high enough that moisture wicks through the slab and into the duct pathway. If you own a concrete-slab home built between 1965 and 1985 on a canal, do not wait the usual two to three years. Call (980) 447-2498 to schedule an inspection and we will tell you what your ducts actually look like.
Yes, we clean ducts in Tequesta condos, apartments, and townhomes, including buildings with tight or restricted parking. Our van-mounted Nikro systems are compact enough to set up in a standard space without blocking a lot. For buildings with shared riser systems, we clean the portion of the duct run that serves your unit from the register back to the main stack connection. We also coordinate with building management when access to common areas is required. If you live in a condo off Tequesta Drive or near the Intracoastal, call (980) 447-2498 and we will talk through the access for your specific building before any work is scheduled.
For shared dryer vent stacks in Tequesta’s 1970s-era condo buildings, we clean the full pathway from your dryer’s lint trap bypass through the common run as far as access allows, then document what we found with a camera inspection. The lint trap is not the only place that plugs. The common stack run collects lint for years while building maintenance only clears the visible trap. We show you the camera footage of the common run before and after so you know the pathway is actually clear. If the common stack needs building-level access, we handle that coordination with the association. Call (980) 447-2498 to ask about your building’s specific stack configuration.
No. A proper Tequesta duct cleaning involves negative-pressure extraction at the air handler, mechanical agitation with Nikro tools inside every supply and return run, HEPA filtration to capture the debris we loosen, and a Rotobrush camera inspection to verify the work. Vacuuming registers alone does not clean the duct interior. It leaves the mold, fiberglass particles, and accumulated dust exactly where they were. We set up the extraction rig so the system pulls debris from the entire run back to the filter trap, not into your rooms. The camera pass at the end is the proof. If your current company is only vacuuming registers, they are not cleaning your ducts.
Yes, Tequesta’s elevated humidity means your filter choice and replacement schedule matter more than they would in a drier climate. A MERV 8 filter is adequate for most systems, but we often recommend a MERV 11 or MERV 13 with the Honeywell or Aprilaire filtration products we install when a home shows high biological load in the return runs. The higher the MERV, the more the filter captures mold spores and fine particulate before they reach your coil and duct interiors. But do not chase high MERV ratings without checking your system’s static pressure first; a filter too dense for the blower motor reduces airflow and raises energy costs. Call (980) 447-2498 and we will recommend the right filter based on what the camera inspection shows, not on a generic rating chart.
