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 Before & After in Leander, TX
We’ve cleaned ducts in Leander since 2013, and we’ve learned one thing: homeowners don’t trust what they can’t see. That’s why every job ends with a Documented Photo Record - the inside of every duct run, before and after. Below are real scenarios we’ve handled across Leander neighborhoods, from Crystal Falls to Mason Creek.
Recent Transformations
Heavy Debris Build-Up in Crystal Falls Home
The camera showed a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow of the main supply trunk. The homeowner had lived in the Crystal Falls home for eight years without a prior cleaning and noticed weak airflow from registers on the second floor. We used a Rotobrush system with HEPA containment to loosen and extract the compacted material, then sealed the access panel with a gasketed cover. The photo record showed bare galvanized metal where packed dust had been, and the homeowner reported stronger register flow within hours.
Pet Dander Accumulation in Mason Creek Ranch
Three golden retrievers, one HVAC system. The return-air boot was lined with a felt-like mat of pet hair bonded to sheet metal by skin oils. We see this regularly in Mason Creek Ranch homes with active yards and indoor pets. Our crew used a Nikro contact vacuum with a soft-bristle whip to agitate without damaging the duct lining, followed by a negative-pressure extraction pass. The after photos showed clean metal, and we recommended an Aprilaire media filter upgrade to extend the interval between cleanings.
Post-Construction Cleanup in Travisso
New homes in Travisso aren’t clean inside. Drywall dust, wood shavings, and sealant overspray settle in ducts during construction and get baked onto surfaces once the system runs. This homeowner moved in two months prior and found white dust coating furniture near every register. We documented a ¼-inch layer of construction residue on the plenum - the central distribution box where all ducts connect - and used an Abatement Technologies portable HEPA unit during agitation to prevent recontamination. The written scope specified register-by-register cleaning, and the photo record showed 23 individual before/after pairs.
Mold-Prone Ductwork in Old Town Leander
Older homes near Old Town Leander often have flex duct - the ribbed, insulated tubing - running through vented attics where Texas humidity peaks above 80% for months. This system showed organic growth at two low points where condensation pooled. We don’t handle remediation ourselves; we partner with a licensed mold assessor for that phase. Once cleared, we replaced the damaged flex sections with sealed hard pipe, then applied a Guardsman EPA-registered sanitizer to remaining sound ductwork. The photo record included close-ups of the new connections and the sanitizer application log with product batch number.
Failed Duct Sealing in Leander Springs
A Leander Springs homeowner had a “duct cleaning” from a coupon company six months prior. The before photos our crew took showed three disconnected runs blowing conditioned air into the attic, and mastic sealant slopped over joints that were never properly aligned. We wrote a scope separating cleaning from repair - Haven Standard Clause 1 requires itemized pricing - and reconnected the runs with mechanical fasteners before sealing. The after photos showed sealed, supported ductwork, and a follow-up negative-pressure test confirmed no leakage above 5% on the repaired sections.
Fire Hazard Dryer Vent in Cedar Park Border
The homeowner’s dryer took three cycles to dry towels. Our camera showed a 90% blockage at the exterior termination - lint packed hard as felt, with bird nesting material behind it. The vent run was 28 feet with three elbows, which exceeds the 25-foot recommendation in most manufacturer specs. We extracted the blockage, replaced the flapper-style termination with a Guardsman low-profile hood to reduce lint catch points, and documented the full run with before/after photos. The written scope noted the excessive length and recommended a booster fan if drying performance degraded again.
