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 Richwood, TX
Air duct cleaning in Richwood costs between $285 and $590 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs landing in the $350 to $450 range. What makes this small Brazoria County city different is what ends up inside its ducts: fine industrial particulates from the Brazosport petrochemical corridor layered on top of mold growth driven by year-round Gulf Coast humidity. Homeowners here aren’t just cleaning dust. They’re clearing out a contamination profile no inland Texas suburb ever sees. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Richwood Homes Are Different
Richwood sits on low-lying coastal plain near the Brazos River delta, close enough to the Gulf that summer dew points regularly exceed 75°F. That moisture doesn’t stay outside. It settles into attic ductwork, soaks into fiberglass liners, and creates conditions where mold colonization inside duct systems is nearly guaranteed within a few years of installation. Homes in Richwood aren’t “due” for cleaning in the same way homes in drier Texas metros are. They’re overdue.
The housing stock makes it worse. Most Richwood homes are slab-on-grade ranch-style builds from the 1960s through the 1980s, constructed to house petrochemical workers. That means a large share of the city is running original or early-replacement ductwork now 40 to 60 years old, routed through attics that top 140°F in summer. Heat like that bakes accumulated debris onto duct walls, then the coastal humidity reactivates it every spring. Add in Hurricane Harvey’s legacy – many Richwood homes were dried out and repaired after 2017, but the HVAC systems were never professionally remediated – and our technicians routinely open ducts here and find silt, residual mold, and compacted debris sitting untouched for years.
Nobody from a Dallas or Austin office sees this kind of contamination as a matter of routine. We do.
Our Main Richwood Services
Three services cover nearly every call we take in Richwood: whole-system air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and duct repair. Each has its own page with specific pricing and job details for this city.
Air Duct Cleaning in Richwood
Whole-system cleaning in Richwood means pulling negative-pressure extraction through supply and return plenums, branch lines, and the air handler cabinet itself. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and we photograph before and after so you can see the difference. Homes near the petrochemical corridor often need more aggressive agitation to break up compacted industrial particulate. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Richwood page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richwood
Richwood’s humidity means dryer lint stays damp and sticky inside the vent run, bonding to the duct wall in a way dry lint never does. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, then test airflow with a manometer to confirm the system actually moves air. Details and pricing live on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richwood page.
Air Duct Repair in Richwood
Age and attic heat take a toll on Richwood ductwork. We replace collapsed flex, seal leaking joints, repair plenum connections, and address sections that have lost insulation value. Every repair carries a written guarantee and a free second visit if the repair fails. It’s all spelled out on our Air Duct Repair in Richwood page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Richwood, TX
Here’s what Richwood homeowners can expect to pay for common duct services. These are whole-system ranges, not per-vent teaser pricing:
| Service | Typical range in Richwood |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning | $285 – $590 |
| Duct cleaning with UV sanitizer installation | $450 – $950 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $89 – $169 |
| Air duct repair (minor) | $120 – $380 |
| Air duct repair (major section replacement) | $400 – $1,300 |
| Duct inspection with camera scope | $45 – $120, often waived with cleaning |
In Richwood specifically, two things push pricing toward the upper end of these ranges. First, heavy industrial particulate from the Brazosport corridor often requires additional agitation passes. Second, many duct systems here are original to 1960s – 1980s builds and carry accumulated debris that hasn’t been touched in decades, meaning more material to remove and more time to do it properly. You’ll receive a written price before any work starts, and that price doesn’t change once the van is in your driveway.

Most Richwood homes are scheduled within five to seven business days. We coordinate exact arrival windows directly with you, and you’ll receive the technician’s name and photo before the scheduled visit. No anonymous vans pulling up unannounced.
No. Air duct cleaning and most duct repairs are routine maintenance and don’t require city permits in Richwood. If a repair ever touches a system component that does require a permit, we’ll flag it and explain the process before any work begins.
Richwood’s position directly adjacent to the Brazosport petrochemical corridor means ducts accumulate fine industrial airborne byproducts in addition to normal household dust and mold. This dual-contamination profile means we often spend more time per home here than we would in inland suburbs with cleaner ambient air. It’s simply a more intensive job.

What Richwood Customers Say
"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."
- Meredith L."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.
