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 Austin, TX
Air duct cleaning in Austin typically costs between $450 and $900 for a whole-home system, depending on home size, duct condition, and whether the dryer vent is added on. Austin homes collect a specific mix of contaminants: fine Ashe juniper pollen from the winter cedar season, dust from construction and gravel driveways, and humidity-driven biological growth in attic-routed ductwork. As an air duct cleaning company serving Austin, we schedule most jobs within 3 to 5 business days. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Austin Homes Are Different
Austin doesn’t have basements. The limestone bedrock in West Austin and the expansive clay through the east side mean virtually every home routes its ductwork through an unconditioned attic, where summer temperatures regularly pass 130 degrees. That heat bakes flex-duct liners until they crack and separate at the joints, pulling attic air, blown-in insulation fibers, and dust into the air stream. In Central Austin, the 1950s and 1960s ranch homes in Allandale, Hyde Park, and East Austin still carry original or early-replacement flex duct, sized for a much lighter cooling load than today’s eight-to-nine month air conditioning season. The result is a duct system under constant strain, collecting contaminants faster than the same equipment would in a Dallas or Houston home.
Then there’s the juniper. Austin sits on the eastern edge of the Ashe juniper belt, and from December through February the city records some of the highest tree-pollen counts on the continent. That fine, waxy pollen coats every surface it touches, including the inside of supply registers and return grilles. It drifts into ducts every time the system cycles, and because Austin runs air conditioning most of the year, the pollen keeps moving deeper into the system instead of settling out seasonally. A late-winter cleaning after cedar season is not a generic maintenance pitch here. It’s the single most targeted thing an Austin homeowner can do for indoor air.
Our Main Austin Services
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning offers two services in Austin, each with its own dedicated page. Here’s what they involve and why they matter here.
Air Duct Cleaning in Austin
Austin ductwork collects mountain cedar pollen, attic insulation fibers, drywall dust from remodels, and the fine gray grit that works its way into every home in a growing city. Our process pairs rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris from the duct walls with negative-air extraction to pull it out of the system entirely, while HEPA filtration keeps the loosened particles from re-entering the living space. In Austin’s attic-routed systems, we focus on joint integrity and liner condition, because heat degradation is the main reason ducts leak and load up with contaminants. Air Duct Cleaning in Austin
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin
Dryer vents in Austin run through hot attic spaces or short exterior walls, and lint loads build faster than homeowners expect, especially with larger households and heavier laundry use. A clogged vent forces the dryer to run longer, which in a 130-degree attic means the appliance itself runs hotter, shortening its life. We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior hood, remove the lint, and confirm airflow at the termination point. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Austin

What pushes a job toward the upper end in Austin is attic access. A single-story ranch in Hyde Park with a pull-down ladder is a different job than a two-story West Austin home where we’re working on hands and knees in a low-pitch attic. Whatever the number, it’s put in writing before we touch a single vent. No revisions at the door, no afternoon surprises.

What Austin Customers Say
"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."
- Terrence Boyd"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."
