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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Lago Vista
Air duct cleaning for a typical Lago Vista home runs $380-$720 per system depending on the number of air handlers, duct runs, and whether video inspection finds flex-duct damage in the attic. Most jobs are scheduled within a week and completed in one day. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written quote before any work starts.
We serve Lago Vista from our Austin office, with crews running the Hill Country route daily. That means we’re familiar with the steep limestone lots off Lohman Ford Road, the vacation-rental turnover on Lake Travis, and the triple-system houses in The Hollows where attic temperatures cook flex duct every July. Air Duct Cleaning in Lago Vista isn’t the same job as flatland Cedar Park or Brushy Creek - the terrain, the cedar pollen load, and the multi-system homes here change what needs to be scoped, what equipment gets used, and how the work gets documented.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander Is Lago Vista’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been in this trade since 2013, and the 52,000+ homes we’ve served include plenty of lake-community properties where the owner lives in Dallas and only sees the place on holidays. That customer needs something specific: a written price before work starts, camera proof of what was found, and a photo record of what got cleaned. Haven Standard Clause 1 - Written Price Before Any Work Starts - applies to every Lago Vista job, whether it’s a primary residence off Boggy Ford Road or a second home above the coves.
Tomas Reyes built CleanRun on documented evidence, not promises. Every crew is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. The license number is published on this page, not buried in a footer. And our 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job - if the work isn’t right, we make it right. No manager approval needed. No “call the office and we’ll see.”
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro negative-pressure extractors, and Honeywell media filters - brands you can look up before you agree to anything. We don’t expect trust. We expect you to verify.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lago Vista
Residential Duct Cleaning
Lago Vista’s housing stock splits two ways: original 1960s-1980s lake cabins with metal ductwork, and the 2000s-2020s exurb wave of custom homes with long flex runs through 140°F attics. The newer homes often have two or three air handlers because the steep lots don’t allow for a single central unit. We quote residential duct cleaning per system, not per square foot, because “the house” doesn’t describe the job. A 4,200-square-foot home with three attic air handlers takes three times the scope of a same-size flatland house with one.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Lago Vista’s commercial base runs to vacation-rental management offices, small medical practices along Lohman Ford Road, and the retail and service businesses supporting The Hollows and other lake developments. Commercial duct cleaning here means scheduling around seasonal occupancy peaks - pre-Memorial Day for summer rentals, pre-December for cedar-season arrivals. We use Abatement Technologies HEPA containment and provide the same documented photo record as residential jobs, with written scope delivered before any panel comes off.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air to your registers. In Lago Vista, these runs are where we most often find cedar pollen packed into flex-duct lining, especially on the uphill side of properties where dry, fine particulate gets drawn in through compromised seams. Our supply duct cleaning uses Rotobrush whip agitation combined with negative-pressure extraction - the brush loosens debris, the vacuum pulls it out at the source rather than blowing it through your house. We photograph every run before and after. You see what was there.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. In lakeside Lago Vista homes, these are the runs most prone to mold growth from the humidity gradient off Lake Travis. Return duct cleaning without video inspection is guesswork - you can’t see past the first elbow from the register. We run camera first, identify whether the problem is moisture-driven mold or particulate debris, then scope the cleaning accordingly. Treating mold downstream of the air handler when the source is in the return trunk is a common mistake we correct on second-opinion calls.
Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning in Lago Vista means every component: supply runs, return runs, trunk lines, plenum (the distribution box at the air handler), blower motor and wheel, and coils if accessible. For multi-system homes, we clean and document each air handler separately. The photo record is organized by system - “Air Handler 2, Guest Wing” - so you know what was done where. This matters when you’re not on site, as many Lago Vista owners aren’t.
Video Inspection
Video inspection is not an upsell here. It’s how we determine whether your problem is mold or debris, whether flex-duct seams have failed, and whether a second or third air handler was even connected to the scope a previous crew quoted. The camera shows a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, or insulation breakdown where the flex duct exits the plenum, or rodent intrusion through a gap in the chase. We deliver the footage as part of the standard job record. You own the documentation.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Lago Vista
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, and Honeywell - professional-grade tools maintained to manufacturer specification, not consumer-grade shop vacs with extra hose. Rotobrush whip systems handle the long flex runs common in Lago Vista attics. Nikro negative-pressure extractors maintain containment so debris doesn’t migrate into living space during cleaning. Honeywell media filters go in where the old filter came out, with MERV ratings appropriate to the pollen load this area sees. We name these brands so you can verify what you’re paying for before you pay.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lago Vista Homes
- Multi-system homes quoted as single-system jobs. A crew bids one flat price, arrives to find three air handlers in a 140°F attic, and either quits halfway or cleans one system and bills for three. We scope every air handler during the estimate and price per system in writing.
- Flex-duct seam failure from attic heat. Lago Vista’s steep lots force ductwork through attics that exceed 140°F in summer. Flex-duct insulation adhesive breaks down, seams gape, and cedar pollen plus rodent debris enters the run. Source removal requires accessing the failure point, not just wiping registers.
- Misdiagnosed lakeside mold vs. uphill particulate. The humidity gradient from Lake Travis means lakeside homes grow mold in returns while uphill homes pack cedar dust into supply lining. Treating both the same way wastes money and leaves the real problem. Video inspection identifies which driver applies before work starts.
- Vacation-rental pre-arrival rushes without documentation. Second-home owners call in December before cedar season, need the job done fast, and have no way to verify what happened. We deliver the photo record to your email before the crew leaves - standard, not extra.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Lago Vista, TX
A typical residential duct cleaning in Lago Vista runs $380-$520 per system for standard supply and return cleaning with photo documentation. Full system cleaning including blower motor, plenum, and coil access ranges $580-$720 per system. Video inspection is included in the estimate when needed to scope the job - not added later.
Factors that move the price: number of air handlers (most Lago Vista homes have two to three), length of attic flex runs, accessibility of the plenum, and whether mold remediation or duct repair is needed beyond standard cleaning. We do not quote per vent. “Per vent” pricing is how $79 coupon jobs become $800 invoices once the truck is in your driveway.
Every Lago Vista estimate is delivered in writing before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions. Bring a competitor’s written quote and we’ll provide a Free Second Opinion - our number next to theirs, both in writing, no charge.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Lago Vista
Yes. Two air handlers means two separate duct networks, two plenums, and twice the scope. A single “whole house” price either gets padded to cover the unknown or falls short when the crew finds the second system in the attic. We price per system, scoped during the estimate, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written quote on your specific setup.
You should receive three things: a written scope of work signed before the job starts, a photo record of every duct run before and after cleaning, and a written warranty - our 365-Day Done Right Promise - backed in writing on completion. The photo record is organized by air handler and run direction (“Supply Run 3, Master Wing”) so you can match documentation to your floor plan. If a company won’t put what they found and what they did in writing, you don’t have proof the work happened.
For many Lago Vista homes, yes. The December-February mountain cedar pollen season loads ductwork with allergen levels among the highest in the United States. If your system ran through cedar season with compromised flex-duct seams, the pollen is in your duct lining and will recirculate until removed. Vacation-rental owners often schedule cleaning in November before holiday arrivals, and again in March after peak season. Primary residents may need annual cleaning if allergy symptoms persist indoors after outdoor levels drop. Call (737) 252-1285 to schedule pre-season.
It can, if the problem is pollen accumulated in the duct system and recirculated by the air handler. Cedar pollen drawn through compromised flex-duct seams or old filter gaskets gets trapped in duct lining and released into living space every time the blower cycles. Source removal - actual extraction, not register wiping - removes that reservoir. It doesn’t cure cedar fever, but it stops the system from re-exposing you to stored pollen. We verify the source with camera inspection before quoting, so you know whether duct cleaning is the right intervention or whether the problem is infiltration through the building envelope.
Three factors: steeper attic temperatures on limestone lots, longer flex runs required by multi-level hillside construction, and the cedar debris that abrades insulation once seams open. Austin and Round Rock flatland homes typically have shorter duct runs in cooler attics with single air handlers. Lago Vista’s 140°F+ attic heat degrades the adhesive that bonds flex-duct insulation to the inner liner. The longer the run, the more stress at every joint. Once a seam opens, cedar pollen and limestone dust enter and pack against the liner, accelerating failure. We inspect for this damage during every estimate and document it with photos.
