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 Friendswood, TX
Air duct cleaning in Friendswood runs between $350 and $650 for most homes, and the work usually takes half a day. What makes Friendswood different from nearby suburbs is the flood history: hundreds of homes along the Clear Creek corridor took water during Hurricane Harvey, and many attic-mounted duct systems were never inspected afterward. Our technicians find mold-lined flex duct and debris-packed returns here more often than in drier inland markets. If you haven’t had your ducts checked since 2017, call us at (469) 972-3151 for a written estimate.
Why Friendswood Homes Are Different
Friendswood’s housing stock is mostly 1970s through 1990s slab-foundation tract homes with attic-mounted air handlers and flexible duct runs. That layout creates specific problems in this climate. Attic temperatures in a Galveston Bay-area summer routinely exceed 130 degrees, while the air inside those ducts is 55 to 60 degrees. The temperature differential forces condensation on the duct exterior, and in Friendswood’s higher ambient humidity that moisture doesn’t evaporate the way it does in drier suburbs.
Post-Harvey renovations complicate things further. Homeowners replaced sheetrock, flooring, and baseboards, but the ductwork above the ceiling was often left alone. Flex duct sections that sat in humid, flood-dampened attics for weeks absorbed moisture into their fiberglass liners. That moisture seeded mold colonies that are still there, feeding on dust and pet dander pulled through the returns. Dale Whitmore, who leads our team, has seen inspection-camera footage from Friendswood attics that shows liner mold in homes with otherwise spotless interiors.
There’s also the Clear Creek factor. Homes platted near the creek in the 1980s sit low to the water table, and ground-level humidity seeps into crawl-adjacent spaces and slab duct chases. HVAC systems run longer here, cycling more air through the ducts every day than systems in, say, Pearland or League City. That’s more passes through whatever is living in the duct liner.
Our Main Friendswood Services
Friendswood homeowners call us for two jobs most often: cleaning the supply and return ductwork throughout the house, and clearing the dryer vent line that carries lint out through the roof or exterior wall. We’re a home service company built around those two trades, and we do them with written pricing and a real guarantee on every visit.
Air Duct Cleaning in Friendswood
Full-system Air Duct Cleaning in Friendswood starts with an inspection camera run through the returns and supply branches. What we find in Friendswood is often specific: flex duct in attic runs with sagging joints, blown insulation resting against the outer liner, and dust caked onto the blower wheel. The cleaning itself uses negative-air extraction, which means a powerful vacuum pulls particles out of the duct while a rotating brush dislodges debris stuck to the walls. The work takes one visit, and every vent is covered before we start.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Friendswood
Most Friendswood dryers vent through the roof or a high exterior wall, and long vertical runs collect lint the way arterial plaque builds in a pipe. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Friendswood service clears the entire run from the lint trap bypass to the exterior termination. A clogged vent in this climate is more than an efficiency problem: with Friendswood’s humidity, damp lint can compact into a blockage that overheats the dryer and becomes a fire risk. We use a rotary brush to break the layer free, then pull everything out under negative pressure so none of it blows back into the laundry room.

What Friendswood Customers Say
"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."
- Marcus Lee"Set up an appointment for the whole house plus the dryer line. They called the morning of to confirm, showed up in the window, and showed me pictures of the gunk they pulled out. Worth it."
