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 Lake Jackson, TX
Air duct cleaning in Lake Jackson runs between $425 and $780 for most homes, with the final figure depending on how many systems the house has and whether the ducts carry decades of Gulf Coast humidity with them. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we give every Lake Jackson homeowner a written price before a single vent is touched. Call us at (469) 972-3151 and you’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a number you can hold us to.
Why Lake Jackson Homes Are Different
Lake Jackson was built as a Dow Chemical company town starting in 1943, which means the original neighborhoods radiating from Circle Way went up in one tight postwar burst. A large share of those homes are now 60 to 80 years old, and their ductwork is reaching the end of its service life at roughly the same time. We regularly open supply plenums on Dow-era streets and find flex duct so old it’s gone brittle, collapsed in the crawlspace under its own weight.
Then there’s the humidity. Lake Jackson sits about 15 miles inland from the Gulf, and relative humidity above 85% is normal for much of the year. That moisture keeps evaporator coils and duct interiors damp, which is exactly what mold and mildew need to colonize inside a supply plenum. HVAC systems here run nine to ten months a year, circulating whatever is growing in those ducts through the whole house. Add Hurricane Harvey to the equation – many local homes took on floodwater in 2017, and ductwork that got wet but wasn’t replaced often still harbors residual microbial contamination. Cleaning ducts in Lake Jackson isn’t a cosmetic add-on. It’s maintenance against a climate that never lets up.
Our Main Lake Jackson Services
Lake Jackson homeowners call us most about two jobs: getting the accumulation out of their HVAC ductwork, and clearing the dryer vent before it becomes a hazard. Each service has its own Lake Jackson page with full pricing and local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Jackson
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Jackson work starts with a negative-air extraction setup that puts the duct system under vacuum so loosened debris gets pulled out rather than pushed into your living room. In Lake Jackson’s original Dow-era homes, we often encounter first-replacement flex duct that has degraded and shed particles for years. The job includes cleaning supply plenums, return drops, and registers, with the full price agreed in writing before we begin.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Jackson
A Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Jackson removes the lint packed into the vent run itself, not just the trap you pull out of the dryer. Lake Jackson’s humidity makes lint cling and compact differently than it does in drier climates, and long vent runs common in ranch-style homes make blockages more likely. The work is done with a rotary brush and HEPA-filtered negative air, and the price is set before we arrive.

Most Lake Jackson jobs are scheduled within a few business days. When you call (469) 972-3151, we give you a defined arrival window and a live person to talk to if anything changes on your end.
Duct cleaning is interior work and doesn’t require HOA sign-off in any Lake Jackson neighborhood we serve. For dryer vent work, we only need access to the existing termination point, so no exterior modifications are involved.
We can, and in Lake Jackson we recommend it. Floodwater that entered ductwork but was never replaced often leaves behind microbial contamination that keeps circulating. We’ll inspect the ducts, tell you whether cleaning is enough or replacement is the honest answer, and put that in writing before any work begins.

What Lake Jackson 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."
