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 Selma, TX
Air duct cleaning in Selma usually runs between $310 and $690 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. Selma’s older ranch-style homes carry decades of Fine agricultural dust from surrounding vineyards, which means the work here rarely looks like the work in San Antonio or the newer suburbs off the interstate. If you want to know exactly who shows up and exactly what the job costs before anything starts, call Linden Air Duct Cleaning at (980) 447-2498.
Why Selma Homes Are Different
Selma sits in the San Joaquin Valley, where three local realities shape every duct job. First, the housing stock. The town’s residential core skews heavily toward 1960s through 1980s ranch-style tract homes, many still running original flex or sheet-metal ductwork. Those systems have spent decades absorbing hundred-degree summer heat, and the uninsulated joints and connections loosen over time, pulling unfiltered air into the house.
Second, the air itself. Selma is surrounded by raisin vineyards, and every August through October the mechanical harvesters throw up a fine reddish-brown haze of soil particulates and grape skin debris. That dust settles onto evaporator coils, then gets pulled through the registers and into rooms all year long. Homes within a half-mile of active vineyards, especially along the grid roads east of downtown, routinely show the kind of agricultural dust cake that standard vacuum passes can’t remove. Third, the valley fog season from December through February pushes damp air through systems that already hold organic debris, which is exactly how mold gets a foothold in ducts that would stay dry in most Texas cities.
Our Main Selma Services
Selma homeowners call us most often for two things: full-system air duct cleaning when the house starts smelling like dirt every time the AC kicks on, and dryer vent cleaning when laundry loads start taking two and three cycles to dry. Air duct repair requests come in steady as those older ranch homes show their age at the joint connections.
Air Duct Cleaning in Selma
Selma duct cleaning is different because of what’s actually in the ducts. The agricultural dust from the vineyards is fine, gritty, and sticky in a way that ordinary suburban dust is not. We use negative-pressure extraction paired with agitation tools to break that packed layer loose before pulling it out of the system. The 1960s-era ranch homes along the east side of town and the 1990s stucco subdivisions to the south and east are where we see the heaviest buildup. You can read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Selma page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Dryer vents in Selma catch more than lint. The same vineyard dust that settles in your ducts also works its way into the dryer exhaust line, where it mixes with dryer lint and hardens. Over a summer of continuous HVAC use and high heat, that combination restricts airflow and makes the dryer work harder than it should. We run flexible rodding and high-pressure air down the full length of the vent, not just the first few feet from the dryer. The specific details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma page.
Air Duct Repair in Selma
Most Selma repair calls start as a cleaning job. Once the system is open, we find what decades of valley heat has done: separated joints, crushed flex runs where attic foot traffic got careless, return leaks pulling in dust from crawl spaces. Duct repair in Selma usually means sealing those gaps, reconnecting runs that have separated, and sometimes replacing short sections of damaged flex. Every repair comes with a written guarantee and free second visit if it fails. See Air Duct Repair in Selma for the specific details.
