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 Arlington, TX
Air duct cleaning in Arlington, TX typically costs between $285 and $480 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and how long the ducts have gone without service. Arlington’s housing stock makes this work different from the newer suburbs: most single-family homes here are 1970s-1980s tract construction with original fiberglass duct board now 35-50 years old, sitting in attics that routinely hit 140°F during the long cooling season. We coordinate scheduling and dispatch from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and our background-checked, uniformed technicians serve Arlington homes directly. Call (469) 972-3151 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a voicemail tree.
Why Arlington Homes Are Different
The single biggest factor is age. Arlington’s population tripled between roughly 1970 and 1990, and the city built housing at a pace that matched. That leaves tens of thousands of homes with slab-on-grade foundations, HVAC air handlers in unconditioned attics, and duct runs made from the era’s default material: fiberglass duct board. Duct board has a factory-applied foil facing that, after four decades of attic heat cycling, begins to delaminate. Once that facing separates, the fiberglass beneath erodes into the airstream, and homeowners see gray fibers at supply registers that keep coming back no matter how often they dust.
Arlington also sits in the southern DFW heat corridor where cooling runs seven to eight months out of the year. Systems here move far more air than the national average, dragging cedar pollen, elm pollen, ragweed, and fine clay dust through every duct. When winter ice storms arrive, heating demand stirs up whatever settled during the dormant shoulder season, which is why so many Arlington homeowners notice a stale blast the first time the furnace kicks on. For homes with black clay soil underneath, seasonal foundation movement can tug flex duct connections loose at plenums and registers, opening gaps that pull blown-in attic insulation directly into the living space.
Our technicians see these patterns constantly in neighborhoods like Dalworthington Gardens, Pantego, and the established subdivisions off Green Oaks Boulevard and Park Row Drive. The work in Arlington is never just a quick vacuum pass: it’s a close look at what 40 years of heat, clay soil, and pollen have done to the actual duct material.
Our Main Arlington Services
Homeowners in Arlington call us most often for two jobs, and each one is common enough here that we’ve written a full Arlington-specific page about it.
Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington
Whole-system cleaning in Arlington means more than running a hose through a floor register. Our technicians inspect the full duct run first, including attic sections where delaminated duct board and loose connections are most common. We use Rotobrush rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris at the duct wall, paired with Nikro negative-pressure extraction to pull it out of the home at the same time. In Arlington’s older homes, we regularly find return plenums packed with decades of construction dust, pet dander, and insulation drawn in through foundation-related gaps. The full picture, including pricing and what we document with photos, is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington
Dryer vent cleaning in Arlington deals with a specific local hazard: long, multi-turn vent runs common in 1970s and 1980s slab homes where the laundry room sits on an interior wall far from an exterior exit. That extra length catches more lint and moisture, and Arlington’s hot, humid summers can turn the buildup into a stubborn, damp blockage. We run a rotating brush the full length of the vent and confirm end-to-end airflow with a digital manometer before we call the job complete. For details on warning signs and what a typical Arlington vent job involves, see Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington.

What Arlington 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."
