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 Hitchcock, TX
Air duct cleaning in Hitchcock, TX runs between $350 and $650 for most single-family homes, with larger or post-flood systems sometimes reaching $900. What makes Hitchcock different from every other city on the upper Texas Gulf Coast is the combination of extreme sustained humidity, a housing stock that dates from the 1950s through the 1980s, and the long shadow of Hurricane Harvey. Many homes here have ductwork running through unconditioned attics or crawl spaces where coastal moisture collects year-round. That means the work we do in Hitchcock is less about routine dust removal and more about removing the silt, mold, and organic debris that the climate and flood history leave behind. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Hitchcock Homes Are Different
Hitchcock sits in a low-lying pocket of Galveston County just inland from Galveston Bay, and that geography shapes every duct system we open. The city is one of the most flood-vulnerable communities on the upper Texas coast. When Hurricane Harvey inundated large portions of Hitchcock in 2017, many residential duct systems sat in standing water for days. What we still find in homes that were repaired but never had ducts professionally cleaned is a fine layer of dried silty mud and microbial growth inside the duct liner, even when the attic itself shows no obvious flood damage. Water wicked up through wall cavities and saturated flexible duct insulation from below, and the contamination is hidden inside the liner rather than visible on the exterior.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Hitchcock is dominated by modest, working-class homes built largely from the 1950s through the 1980s, many on pier-and-beam or low slab foundations. Ductwork in those homes runs through unconditioned crawl spaces or attics, both zones that collect coastal moisture. A notable share of the housing is manufactured or mobile homes, which often use flexible duct systems that are particularly susceptible to moisture intrusion and debris accumulation. Add dewpoints that routinely stay above 70°F from spring through fall, and you get condensation inside ducts that creates near-constant conditions for mold amplification whenever insulation or vapor barriers are compromised. It is a far more severe problem here than even 30 miles inland toward Houston.
Our Main Hitchcock Services
Hitchcock homeowners call us for two jobs more than anything else: whole-home air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated Hitchcock page with full pricing, process details, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Hitchcock
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Hitchcock means removing the silt, mold spores, and debris that coastal humidity and flood history leave behind. Our technicians use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then negative-pressure extraction pulls the loosened material out of the home rather than blowing it into your living space. In Hitchcock specifically, we look carefully at flexible duct insulation in post-Harvey homes, since contamination often hides inside the liner where you cannot see it. The full breakdown of process, pricing, and what to expect is on our Air Duct Cleaning in Hitchcock page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hitchcock
Dryer vent cleaning in Hitchcock is not optional maintenance. The same high humidity that affects your HVAC ducts also causes lint to clump and stick inside dryer vent runs, and a clogged vent is a fire hazard as well as an efficiency killer. We use professional equipment to clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior vent cap, including the lint trap bypass area that most homeowners never see. In Hitchcock’s older homes, we frequently find vents that were never properly routed or that terminate inside the attic. See pricing and details on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hitchcock page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Hitchcock, TX
These are the honest whole-system ranges for Hitchcock homes, based on the size of the house, the number of returns, and the condition of the ducts. You will never see a per-vent price from us.
| Service | Typical range in Hitchcock |
|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning, up to 10 vents | $350 - $450 |
| Air duct cleaning, 11-15 vents | $450 - $550 |
| Air duct cleaning, 16-20 vents | $550 - $650 |
| Air duct cleaning, 21+ vents or post-flood remediation | $650 - $900 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, single-story home | $89 - $129 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, two-story home or long vent run | $129 - $189 |
The biggest price driver in Hitchcock is post-flood contamination. If a Harvey-era home was never professionally cleaned, the ducts often need more passes with the rotary brush and longer negative-pressure extraction time, which pushes the cost toward the upper end of the range. Whatever the final number, it is written down and agreed to before we touch a single vent. That is the Kingswell Guarantee in writing, and it applies on every job in Hitchcock.

What Hitchcock 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."
