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 San Leon, TX
Air duct cleaning in San Leon, TX runs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system in most houses, though elevated pier-and-beam homes with exposed flex duct often land closer to $550 – $900 because of the extra access work involved. San Leon is not a standard slab-foundation suburb. The peninsula’s relentless bay humidity, salt air, and suspension-style duct runs create a specific set of problems that inland homes rarely see, and they change how a cleaning should be done. If you’re looking for a straight answer on cost, coverage, and what makes San Leon work different, call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll walk you through it.
Why San Leon Homes Are Different
San Leon sits on a peninsula jutting directly into Galveston Bay, and that one geographic fact drives nearly every duct problem we see here. Relative humidity stays at or above 85 – 95% for months at a stretch, with prevailing southeasterly winds pushing warm, salt-laden air across the houses year-round. Inside a duct system, that means mold and mildew establish inside the duct lining and at every flex-duct collar far faster than in any inland Houston suburb.
The housing stock compounds it. San Leon mixes pre-Hurricane Ike fishing-camp cottages with post-Ike elevated rebuilds on pilings, plus manufactured homes, and most sit in FEMA Zone AE. Very few are slab-on-grade. Ductwork is almost universally suspended beneath elevated floors or run through vented crawl spaces open to bay air. In post-Ike rebuilds, we consistently find flex duct hanging under the floor deck that has separated at the collars, gaps that pull humid bay air and dead insects straight into the supply system. That specific failure mode barely exists in slab homes twenty miles north. It is routine here.
For San Leon homeowners, that means annual cleaning is a functional necessity, not an upsell. Moisture, salt corrosion, and collar separation don’t pause between visits.
Our Main San Leon Services
San Leon homeowners call us most often for two things: getting the mold-friendly buildup out of their ductwork, and keeping dryer vents from becoming a lint fire hazard in a salt-heavy environment. Repair work runs a close third, because elevated flex duct separates more often here than anywhere else we work.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Leon
Whole-home air duct cleaning in San Leon runs $550 – $900 for most elevated homes and $450 – $850 for smaller or simpler layouts. The work uses negative-pressure extraction, which means the system is sealed and air is pulled through the ductwork under vacuum rather than blown around, so what we dislodge comes out instead of settling back into the rooms. In San Leon, we pay special attention to flex-duct collars and the exposed runs beneath elevated floors, because that’s where salt-air moisture and mildew get their start. Air Duct Cleaning in San Leon covers the full process, what it includes, and what it costs.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leon
Dryer vent cleaning in San Leon runs $150 – $300 for a standard single-story run. Bay humidity makes lint clump and stick inside the vent rather than blow through, so vents here clog faster than in drier climates. Since many San Leon homes route the dryer vent through a crawl space or out under an elevated floor, we also check for crushed or separated vent pipe and bird or insect entry at the exterior cap. Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leon explains the full scope and how to spot a vent that’s already backing up.
Air Duct Repair in San Leon
Air duct repair in San Leon runs $200 – $450 for typical fixes like reattaching separated flex duct at a collar, patching a punctured trunk line, or replacing a crushed section under the floor deck. The salt air accelerates metal corrosion, and post-Ike rebuilds often have ductwork that was sealed hastily and has since separated. Every repair gets a written guarantee, and if a covered repair doesn’t hold, we return at no charge. Air Duct Repair in San Leon goes into the common failure points and what to watch for.

What pushes a San Leon price toward the top of the range is access. Crawling under an elevated home on pilings, working around bay mud, and reaching flex duct that’s sagged over a vented crawl space takes longer than a clean attic run in a slab home. The salt air also means we sometimes find corroded collars that need replacement while we’re in there, and we’ll quote that separately before any work starts. The price is in writing before we touch anything, and it doesn’t change at the end.

What San Leon 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."
