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 Houston, TX
Air duct cleaning in Houston means dealing with a climate most other U.S. cities never face: nine months of heavy AC use, 70 – 80% relative humidity, and attic spaces that hit 140 – 160°F in summer. That combination doesn’t just dirty ductwork faster, it actively grows mold inside flex-duct runs and breaks down duct board liners years ahead of their rated service life. We’re Linden Air Duct Cleaning, and when we work in Houston we plan for humidity, heat, and aging slab-foundation homes the same way other technicians plan for snow. Call us at (980) 447-2498 for a free estimate.
Why Houston Homes Are Different
Houston’s overwhelming majority of homes sit on slab foundations, which pushes every duct run into the attic. That attic regularly reaches 140 – 160°F from June through September, and that heat accelerates the breakdown of flexible duct inner liners. We routinely see original flex-duct installations in Spring Branch, Westbury, and the Energy Corridor, homes built from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, that are now at or past the 15 – 25 year replacement threshold. The liner physically separates, fibers release into the airstream, and the duct starts pulling attic air into your living space.
Then there’s the moisture. Houston’s position on the Gulf Coastal Plain keeps relative humidity above 70% most of the year. The city’s flat, poorly draining topography means flood waters from Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 sat against slab edges and seeped into duct board in thousands of homes. In neighborhoods near Brays Bayou, including Meyerland, which took major water in 2015, 2016, and again in 2017, our technicians have cut into duct board years after the storm and found the interior liner still harboring embedded mold colonies. Walls were dried, flooring was replaced, but the internal duct surfaces that absorbed standing water were never touched. Houston’s cooling season runs roughly nine months, so particulate, allergens, and microbial load accumulate at a pace that outpaces nearly every non-southern U.S. market.
Our Main Houston Services
Houston homeowners call Linden Air Duct Cleaning most often for two things: air duct cleaning to remove accumulated biological and particulate load, and dryer vent cleaning to deal with the lint burden that a year-round laundry schedule creates. Air duct repair matters here too, because attic heat and humidity destroy duct materials faster than in dry markets. Each service has its own detailed Houston page below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Houston
Houston ductwork runs through attics that turn into ovens for a third of the year, cycling moisture-laden Gulf air through the system every time the AC kicks on. We use negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, pulling contaminants out rather than brushing them into your living space. Before work starts, you’ll know the tech’s name and see their photo. When they arrive, they show a photo ID badge. The full scope and Houston-specific considerations are on the service page.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston
Houston’s humidity doesn’t just affect your AC ducts. High-moisture air means dryer lint clumps instead of drying, and Houston’s long cooling season means dryer exhaust lines collect residue faster than in dry climates. A clogged dryer vent is a fire risk first and an efficiency problem second. We clear the full run, from the dryer to the exterior vent cap. The Houston page explains the hazards, the cleaning method, and what we check at the exterior termination point. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston

Regardless of the line item, you’ll receive a written price before any work begins, and that price is what you pay. No per-vent pricing, no surprise add-ons at the end of the job.

What Houston Customers Say
"Tech arrived with a badge and a printed sheet of what he'd be doing. Ran a camera through the main trunk before and after so I could see the dust difference. Vents smell cleaner already."
- Gina R."Priced by the system, not by the vent, and he told me up front. No pressure to add the sanitizer and I said no without any fuss."
- Faith N."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.
