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 Alvin, TX
Air duct cleaning in Alvin typically ranges from $350 to $600 for a full system, with most single-family homes landing between $425 and $500. What makes Alvin jobs different is the combination of Harvey-era moisture history, 1970s-1990s flex-duct housing stock, and year-round AC runtime that breeds duct contamination faster than nearly anywhere else in the Houston metro. If your ducts haven’t been opened since before 2017, you’re breathing whatever the flood left behind. Call (469) 972-3151 for a straight answer and a written price.
Why Alvin Homes Are Different
Alvin sits low in the Brazoria County floodplain, and Hurricane Harvey didn’t just soak lawns here. It pushed contaminated water and vapor into crawl spaces, air handlers, and the lowest runs of flex ductwork in thousands of homes. The visible damage got remediated. The duct interiors mostly didn’t. Today, technicians in Alvin routinely open supply boots and find black microbial growth on the liner of ducts that run near the air handler – a direct artifact of standing floodwater vapor that cleanup crews simply never reached. That’s not a maintenance issue. It’s a mold-remediation issue wearing maintenance’s clothes.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Alvin is dominated by 1970s-1990s ranch-style slab homes with flex duct routed through attics that hit 140°F or more every summer. Flex duct crimps, sags, and cracks under that heat cycling. Humidity sits at 80-95% for much of the year, so AC systems run near-constantly. Condensation forms inside ducts, especially around supply boots at slab level. Debris plus moisture plus constant warmth equals microbial growth between cleanings far faster than in drier inland Texas cities. Older pier-and-beam homes near the original downtown core have their own set of conditions, with duct runs accessible from below and equally exposed to ground moisture.
Our Main Alvin Services
Alvin homeowners call Kestrel most often for two jobs – full-system air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated Alvin page with pricing detail and local conditions, because they’re genuinely different jobs with different problems.
Air Duct Cleaning in Alvin
Alvin’s duct systems carry the accumulated weight of flood vapor, attic heat degradation, and near-constant AC condensation. A proper cleaning here isn’t a quick vacuum pass. It means brush agitation at the duct wall with Rotobrush equipment to dislodge what’s adhered, paired with negative-air extraction so dislodged debris leaves the house instead of recirculating through the living space. In Alvin specifically, we spend extra time inspecting the lowest flex-duct runs near the air handler – the segments most likely to show Harvey-era microbial growth. Air Duct Cleaning in Alvin covers pricing, the cleaning process, and what to expect during the visit.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alvin
Alvin’s humidity means dryer lint doesn’t just accumulate – it mats, especially in the long horizontal vent runs common in 1970s-1990s ranch homes where the laundry room sits on an exterior wall far from the dryer. A clogged dryer vent in Alvin is a genuine fire hazard, not a convenience problem. Our technicians use professional-grade equipment to clear the full run from lint trap to exterior termination, including the lint trap bypass that box-store cleaning kits never reach. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alvin breaks down the process, the warning signs, and local pricing.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Alvin, TX
Here’s what Alvin homeowners can expect to pay for duct cleaning and related work. These are whole-system ranges, not per-vent teaser prices.
| Service | Typical range in Alvin |
|---|---|
| Full air duct cleaning (entire home) | $350 – $600 |
| Single-story home (up to 1,500 sq ft) | $350 – $475 |
| Two-story home (1,500 – 3,000 sq ft) | $450 – $600 |
| Duct cleaning with air handler cleaning | $475 – $650 |
| Post-remediation duct cleaning (after mold or flood work) | $550 – $800 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $99 – $175 |
| Supply boot and register cleaning (per home) | $85 – $150 |
| Duct sanitizing treatment (per system) | $125 – $250 |
| Filter replacement (standard media, parts included) | $35 – $90 |
Two things push Alvin pricing toward the upper end. The first is Harvey-era contamination – if pre-existing moisture damage has colonized the duct liner, the job becomes more involved. The second is attic accessibility: older ranch homes with tight attic clearances and degraded flex duct take longer. Whatever your job costs, you’ll see the full written price before a single vent is touched. No door-step revisions, no surprise line items.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Alvin
Most Alvin appointments are scheduled within two to five business days. Summer months run tighter because AC systems are working hard and more homeowners notice dust or musty air. If you call (469) 972-3151, a live person will answer and give you a real arrival window, not a four-hour stretch that we’ll blow through.
No. Duct and dryer vent cleaning is maintenance work, not construction, so no city permit is required anywhere in Alvin.

We cover the full Alvin area, from the original downtown streets to the newer developments on the west and north edges of town, plus unincorporated Brazoria County nearby.

What Alvin Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
