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 Hitchcock, TX
Air duct cleaning in Hitchcock, TX runs roughly $350 – $650 for a typical single-system home, with pier-and-beam houses and post-Ike ductwork often landing at the higher end. We’re Linden Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve spent enough time under Hitchcock homes to know the ductwork here fights a different battle than it does ten miles inland. Salt air, saturated crawl spaces, and decades-old flex duct mean the job is rarely just about dust. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll tell you exactly what your system needs and what it costs before any work starts.
Why Hitchcock Homes Are Different
Hitchcock sits in one of the lowest-lying, most flood-prone pockets of Galveston County, just inland from Galveston Bay. Hurricane Ike’s 2008 storm surge pushed water through homes here, and a lot of that ductwork was never properly replaced afterward. We still pull out original flex duct where the outer jacket looks fine but the inner liner is black with mold and the fiberglass insulation has collapsed into a damp mat. That’s not something you fix with a shop vac. It’s a removal-and-replacement job, and it changes how we quote the work.
The housing stock adds another layer. Most Hitchcock homes are slab-on-grade or pier-and-beam builds from the 1950s through the 1980s, plus a meaningful share of manufactured housing. On pier-and-beam homes, ducts run through vented crawl spaces directly exposed to the bay’s saturated air. Galveston County regularly posts dew points among the highest in the continental U.S., and that moisture wicks into duct insulation and jacket seams all year. HVAC systems here run nearly nonstop, and every cycle pulls that damp, salty air through the system. Duct interiors collect condensation, biological growth, and coastal particulates faster than almost anywhere else in Texas. Hitchcock’s duct-cleaning demand is not the same as Texas City’s or La Marque’s, and we quote it accordingly.
Our Main Hitchcock Services
Most Hitchcock homeowners call us for one of three reasons: the air coming from their vents smells musty or stale, their dryer takes forever to dry a load, or they already know a section of duct is damaged and leaking. Each of those problems has its own page below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Hitchcock
This is a full-system cleaning using negative-pressure extraction: we connect a vacuum to your ductwork that pulls air backward through the system while our agitation tools knock debris loose from the duct walls. In Hitchcock, we often find layer upon layer of salt-laden dust, mold-stained liner, and insulation fibers that have sloughed off old flex duct. You’ll see before-and-after photos of your actual ducts, and you’ll get a written price before we begin. Full details are on our Air Duct Cleaning in Hitchcock page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hitchcock
Lint accumulates faster in humid air, and Hitchcock’s bay humidity makes dryer vents clog tighter than dryer climates see. We clean the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination, including removing lint caked around the lint trap bypass and any bird or rodent nesting. A clogged vent is a fire hazard, and a slow dryer wastes hours of your time. We cover the whole job, the pricing, and what we typically find in Hitchcock homes on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hitchcock page.
Air Duct Repair in Hitchcock
Post-Ike ductwork fails in predictable ways: separated joints, crushed flex runs where the inner liner has collapsed, and return plenums pulling crawl-space air through gaps. We repair or replace damaged sections, seal joints with mastic, and re-insulate where the old jacket has rotted away. Every repair comes with a written guarantee and a free second visit if the fix doesn’t hold. See our Air Duct Repair in Hitchcock page for the specifics.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Hitchcock
Most Hitchcock jobs are scheduled within 5 to 7 business days of your call, and we coordinate routes from our Houston office so a crew is already in the Galveston County area most weeks. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll give you the next available window while you’re on the phone.
Most duct cleaning and repair jobs don’t require a permit in Hitchcock, but if a repair changes the footprint of your duct layout, the county may want a mechanical permit. We handle permitting for any repair that needs it, and we’ll tell you up front if your job falls into that category.
Flooded ductwork almost always needs replacement, not cleaning. Water-soaked fiberglass insulation and fiberboard duct cannot be meaningfully sanitized once saturated. We’ll camera-inspect the duct interior, show you what we find, and quote cleaning or replacement based on what’s actually there. Call (980) 447-2498 to schedule an inspection.

What Hitchcock 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."
