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 West University Place, TX
Air duct cleaning in West University Place costs between $450 and $900 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs running $600 to $750. That’s honest money, and it’s why we give you a written price before a single vent is touched. West University Place is not a standard suburb. The housing stock is a collision of 1920s bungalows and 4,000 to 7,000 sq ft luxury teardown-replacements, and the way those two types of homes use their duct systems is completely different. Add Houston’s humidity and attic temperatures that pass 150°F in August, and you have conditions that make West University Place work genuinely distinct. Call (469) 972-3151 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why West University Place Homes Are Different
The teardown-and-rebuild cycle defines West University Place. Original 1920s-1950s craftsman cottages still stand, many with undersized duct systems installed decades before modern filtration was a concern. But the dominant reality is the wave of post-2000 luxury homes, built rapidly, with sprawling multi-zone duct networks routed through unconditioned attic cavities. We regularly find long flex-duct runs sagging at low points, collecting particulate that a shorter, tighter system would never trap.
Those newer homes carry a specific problem: construction debris. Duct systems installed during high-speed builds often get sealed up with drywall dust, debris, and spray-foam overspray still inside the flex-duct runs. The first cleaning is often the first time those systems have ever been opened and inspected. Compounding it all is Houston’s subtropical humidity, which keeps indoor relative humidity elevated even when the AC is running. Mold colonization inside ducts is a near-constant risk here, not a seasonal one. And Hurricane Harvey left a longer shadow than most people realize: homes where the air handler or return-air plenum sat at or near floor level took on moisture directly into the duct system, and many cosmetic renovations never addressed what was left behind.
Our Main West University Place Services
West University Place homeowners call us most often about two jobs: whole-home air duct cleaning for the larger systems in the area, and dryer vent cleaning for the clog-prone laundry rooms and long vent runs common in the newer builds. Each has its own page linked below.
Air Duct Cleaning in West University Place
Whole-home air duct cleaning in West University Place means opening every supply and return, agitating the duct walls with a rotary brush, and pulling the loosened debris out under negative pressure. In the larger post-2000 homes, that often means long flex-duct runs where sag points collect debris that never moves on its own. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge what’s stuck and Nikro negative-pressure units to extract it, not a box-store shop vac. Air Duct Cleaning in West University Place covers the full process, local pricing, and what to expect on the day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in West University Place
Dryer vent cleaning in West University Place addresses lint accumulation that builds faster in humid air. We clear the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination, including the lint trap bypass. In newer West University Place homes, vent runs often route through walls and attics rather than straight out the back, which means longer runs and more places for lint to pack in. That’s a fire hazard, and it’s also why so many dryers in this neighborhood run hot and trigger sensor errors. Dryer Vent Cleaning in West University Place has the full scope, local pricing, and the written-price promise.

What West University Place 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."
