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 Repair Across Southlake
Air duct repair in Southlake typically runs between $450 and $1,800 depending on whether you’re sealing a single separated joint or replacing a full run of deteriorated flex duct, and most jobs are completed in one visit. Homes here are bigger than almost anywhere else in the Metroplex, which means the repair is rarely about one small leak. When you call Linden Air Duct Cleaning at (980) 447-2498, you get a straight answer about what’s actually wrong, what it costs, and who’s coming to your door before they arrive.
We know Southlake’s housing stock. We know that a 6,000 sq ft home on Lonesome Dove Drive hides its ductwork in attic spaces that hit 140°F in August. And we know that the real problem is rarely where the homeowner thinks it is. That’s why our Air Duct Repair work here starts with inspection, not assumptions.
Why Linden Air Duct Cleaning Is Southlake’s Preferred Air Duct Repair Company
Southlake homeowners don’t hire a duct repair company on a coupon. They want to know exactly who is walking through the door and what the job will cost before a single panel comes off the wall. That’s how we’ve operated since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family, and it’s why the Threshold Standard matters here more than in most cities.
Every technician we send into a Southlake home is background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced to you by name and photo before arrival. They show a photo ID badge at the door, every single time. No exceptions. For homeowners who are often home alone, parents with young children, or older residents in neighborhoods like Clariden Ranch or Southlake Woods, that verification is the difference between calling us and not calling anyone.
Our reputation around Southlake is built on the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the repair does not hold, we return at no charge. That promise is written into every job we do, and we have backed it in the field for years. When a duct repair fails in a North Texas attic, the homeowner usually cannot see it. That is exactly why a written guarantee is not a courtesy here. It is the only honest way to do the work.
Duct Replacement in Southlake
Duct Replacement in Southlake is a more involved job than most homeowners expect, largely because the original flex duct in homes built during the 1990s and early 2000s has now passed the 20-year mark under punishing attic heat. In a 4,000 – 7,500 sq ft house with three or more HVAC zones, we are typically replacing one degraded run at a time, not the entire system. A single-run replacement, including new flex duct, collar connections, mastic sealing, and testing, usually runs $650 – $1,800 depending on run length, attic access, and whether the plenum connection itself needs rebuilding.
When Replacement Beats Repair
If the duct’s inner liner has separated or the insulation jacket has rotted from years of condensation, patching buys you six months, not a solution. We tell Southlake homeowners the truth: when a run has failed in multiple spots, replacement is cheaper over three years than repeated repair calls.
What We Document for You
Every replacement job includes before-and-after photos of the actual ductwork and airflow readings at the supply registers. For work you cannot see in your own attic, that documentation is not optional. It is the record that the job was done, and done correctly.
Ductwork Installation in Southlake
Ductwork Installation in Southlake usually means adding a new supply run, replacing a full trunk line section, or designing a dedicated run for a room that has never been comfortable. Homes here often have bonus rooms over garages, wine rooms, or converted attic spaces that were never properly connected to the HVAC system when the house was built. Our install crews use professional-grade equipment from Nikro and Rotobrush, with air-quality components from Honeywell and Aprilaire where the system calls for filtration upgrades.
New Runs for Added Rooms
A room addition in Southlake frequently taps an existing plenum without calculating static pressure. The result is a room that runs six degrees warmer in July. Installing a properly sized run with a damper and balancing the system typically costs $850 – $2,400, depending on run length and accessibility through the attic.
Replacing Failed Trunk Lines
When a main trunk line in a multi-zone system fails, the problem affects an entire floor. We replace the damaged section, seal every joint with mastic, and rebalance the supply and return ducts. Work of this scope on a large Southlake home typically runs $1,200 – $3,600, and it is priced per system, never as a vague “whole house” number we can inflate later.
Trusted Brands We Service in Southlake
We service and install equipment from the brands Southlake HVAC systems were built around, and we stock common parts for those systems locally so we are not driving back and forth across the Metroplex mid-job. That includes professional-grade inspection cameras and extraction equipment from Nikro, filtration products from Honeywell, and allergy-focused air-quality systems from Aprilaire and Abatement Technologies. For a city with pollen counts that spike during mountain cedar season from December through February, followed by oak and ragweed in spring and fall, the filtration side of duct repair matters. A sealed duct system with clean filtration is the actual fix, not a scented spray mask.
Common Air Duct Repair Problems We See in Southlake Homes
- Slipped or torn plenum collars in Timarron and other 1990s-era neighborhoods. After 25+ years of attic heat cycles exceeding 140°F, the original flex-duct collars at the plenum crack and separate. We check these first on nearly every Southlake call because the failure pattern is that consistent.
- Foundation movement separating flex-duct joints. North Texas’s expansive clay soils expand and contract enough each season to shift framing and stress duct runs in attic spaces. Hidden air loss follows, and your oversized multi-zone system works harder to compensate.
- Multiple air handlers masking the real problem. With three or more systems in one house, a homeowner usually feels the temperature problem but cannot tell which system is failing. Camera inspection is the only reliable way to isolate it.
- Crushed or kinked flex duct from earlier work. Southlake attics are large but crowded with framing, electrical, and insulation. We regularly find duct runs that were crushed during a previous repair or renovation and never corrected.
Pricing for Air Duct Repair in Southlake, TX
A typical air duct repair in Southlake runs $450 – $1,800 for single-run repairs and collar replacements, while full duct replacement on a large zone system ranges $1,200 – $3,600. What drives the number is run length, attic accessibility, and whether the plenum connection needs rebuilding. Southlake homes average 3,500 – 7,500 sq ft with multiple zones, which means per-system pricing, not a single flat fee that hides the true scope.
Every job gets a written price before any work begins. That is a standing rule at Linden Air Duct Cleaning, not a promotional offer. You will know the number before our van pulls into your driveway in Southlake, and that number will not change at the end of the day unless we find something you specifically ask us to address beyond the original scope, in which case you approve it in writing first.

FAQs About Air Duct Repair in Southlake
We price duct repair per system, not per house. In a Southlake home with three air handlers and duct runs exceeding 200 feet, each system gets its own inspection and its own written price. That keeps you from paying for a “whole house” number that bundles in work on systems that don’t need it. You will see each system listed separately on your quote, with the specific repair and the cost for that system only.
You should expect before-and-after photos of the actual ductwork, not stock images. Our crews document every repair with camera images from inside the ducts, airflow readings at the supply registers, and a written description of what was found and what was corrected. That documentation is yours to keep, and it becomes part of the record if anything fails within the 365-Day Done Right Promise window. If a tech cannot show you proof of the repair, it was not done properly.
Timarron was built rapidly in the mid-to-late 1990s, and the original flex-duct collars at the plenum have now spent 25+ years in attic heat cycles exceeding 140°F. That heat breaks down the collar material, causing it to slip or tear at the connection point. The pattern is consistent enough across the neighborhood that a thorough inspection of plenum connections has become a standard first step on any Southlake job, because we know exactly what decades of North Texas summers do to that specific connection.
Foundation movement from expansive clay soils stresses the duct joints where flex duct connects to rigid plenums and supply boxes. Over time, those joints partially separate, and your system pushes conditioned air into the attic instead of into your rooms. The energy waste compounds in already-oversized systems, and the temperature difference you feel between rooms is often the first sign. Checking for joint separation is part of every Southlake inspection we do, not an add-on.
Yes. Our repairs and cleaning procedures follow NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) standards for inspection, cleaning, and system restoration. For Southlake homeowners with documented allergy sensitivity during mountain cedar and oak seasons, that standard matters because it includes the negative-pressure extraction methods and source-removal techniques that actually remove contaminants rather than stirring them up. We are happy to walk you through which NADCA standards apply to your specific repair before we start.
