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 Sonterra, TX
Air duct cleaning in Sonterra typically runs $450 – $850 for a full system on a 3,500 – 5,000 sq ft home, depending on the number of zones and how much debris has built up inside the attic-routed flex ducts. Sonterra’s homes sit in the Stone Oak corridor of north San Antonio, where Ashe juniper pollen and caliche limestone dust cycle through oversized multi-zone HVAC systems for seven-plus months of cooling each year. We schedule every Sonterra job with a written price before work starts, and a background-checked, photo-badged technician arrives at your door with their name and photo sent to you ahead of the visit. Call (980) 447-2498 to get your exact quote.
Why Sonterra Homes Are Different
Sonterra is an upscale master-planned community built primarily through the 1990s and mid-2000s, which means the original flex duct systems in these large custom and semi-custom homes are now 20 to 30 years old. That’s the age when the inner liner of attic-routed flex ducts begins to separate and corrugate, trapping cedar and oak pollen in folds that a filter change never touches. The homes are big – commonly 3,500 to 5,000+ square feet on slab foundations with complex multi-zone systems – and the duct runs are long, winding through attics that bake under San Antonio’s summer heat. That heat accelerates liner deterioration and insulation breakdown in ways a newer home in a milder climate simply doesn’t face.
San Antonio’s cooling season runs roughly April through October. Air conditioning moves enormous volumes of air through Sonterra ductwork every year, pulling in the region’s caliche limestone dust and, from December through February, the mountain cedar pollen that blankets the north Hill Country edge. Spring storm humidity adds another variable: condensation collecting inside aging attic duct insulation. Homeowners who’ve lived through two decades of cedar fever season in the same house understand exactly why this work matters here more than most places.
Our Main Sonterra Services
Sonterra homeowners call on us most often for two things: cleaning out ducts that are decades overdue and repairing systems where age has begun to show. Here is what each job involves on the ground in Sonterra.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sonterra
In Sonterra’s 1990s-era luxury builds, duct cleaning means more than vacuuming out dust. We run negative-pressure extraction through the entire duct network – the trade name for pulling air backward through the system under controlled suction so debris comes out rather than getting stirred into living spaces. The flex ducts in these homes often arrive at their second or third decade with separated inner liners, which trap pollen in folds no filter addresses. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Sonterra page covers the process, equipment, and what a typical Sonterra job reveals once we get inside the attic runs.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sonterra
Dryer vents in Sonterra homes are often routed long distances through slab foundations and exterior walls, and lint accumulation in those runs is a genuine fire risk. Lint bypasses the trap on every cycle, coating the vent walls over years of laundry. In Sonterra’s larger homes, those vent runs can stretch 15 to 25 feet with multiple turns, which is exactly where clogs form. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sonterra page explains how we clear those runs and verify airflow at both ends before calling the job done.
Air Duct Repair in Sonterra
Aging flex ducts in Sonterra attics eventually separate at the seams, sag between supports, or tear under the heat load of a Texas summer. That means conditioned air leaks into the attic and attic dust gets pulled into the living space. Repair work on these homes often involves reconnecting separated runs, replacing crushed sections, and sealing joints that have opened over 20-plus years. Every repair is covered by a written guarantee and a free second visit if the fix does not hold. Our Air Duct Repair in Sonterra page details what we find and how we fix it.

What Sonterra 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.
