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 Tomball, TX
Air duct cleaning in Tomball, TX typically runs between $300 and $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in half a day. What makes Tomball different is the housing stock: thousands of 1990s and 2000s flex-duct tract homes whose attic ductwork absorbs years of Gulf Coast humidity, Harvey flood residue, and 150°F summer heat. If you’re looking for a Tomball air duct cleaning company that quotes a written price before work starts, call Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning at (469) 972-3151.
Why Tomball Homes Are Different
Tomball sits in northwest Harris County, where relative humidity stays above 70% most of the year and attics hit 140-150°F from June through September. That combination punishes flex duct. When 55°F conditioned air runs through ductwork in a 145°F attic, condensation forms on the duct liner, and that moisture is exactly what mold needs to colonize. We see it on nearly every inspection in older Tomball subdivisions, and it’s a failure mode you simply don’t encounter at the same rate in drier Texas metros.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Tomball’s boom years ran from the mid-1990s through the 2010s, producing dense master-planned neighborhoods full of slab-foundation homes with attic-run flexible ducts. Those systems are now 15 to 30 years old. Sagging runs, disconnected joints at truss crossings, and insulation wrap degraded by heat cycles are the standard findings. Add Hurricane Harvey: the August 2017 floods hit northwest Harris County hard, and in neighborhoods near Willow Creek and the Cypress Creek floodplain on Tomball’s south and east edges, contaminated moisture entered return-air plenums. Ductwork that was never properly remediated still drives mold-related service calls today, years after the water receded. When we inspect a Tomball home near those flood-prone areas, a musty sediment line inside the return plenum is often the first thing we find.
Our Main Tomball Services
Tomball homeowners call us most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own Tomball page with local pricing and details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tomball
Dryer vents in Tomball clog faster than homeowners expect, partly because lint traps can’t catch everything and partly because humid air makes lint stick to the vent walls instead of blowing through. A clogged dryer vent means longer dry times, higher energy bills, and a real fire risk. Our technicians use professional rotary brush equipment to clear the full vent run from dryer to exterior termination, including the lint trap bypass. In Tomball’s two-story homes, long vertical vent runs are common and need more than a box-store brush. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tomball

What Tomball Customers Say
"My wife's allergies were awful every morning. Had the ducts done and it's made a real difference. Tech was on time and wore booties in the house without me asking."
- Rob Pendergast"Bought an older home and the previous owners had pets everywhere. After Kestrel did the ducts the stale smell was just gone. On time, quick, and they showed me the filter they pulled."
- Preston Ngata"Our dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load. They cleaned the vent and pulled out a frightening amount of lint. Dries in one cycle now and honestly I feel better about the fire risk."
