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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Bee Cave
Air duct cleaning in Bee Cave, TX typically runs $450-$850 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price confirmed before any work begins. Most Bee Cave homes need this service every 2-3 years, though families with allergies or homes built during the 2003-2018 construction wave often benefit from annual cleaning, especially after cedar season.
We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve been serving the Hill Country since 2005. Our crews know the difference between a compact Austin bungalow and a 4,500 sq ft Falconhead home with three zoned systems and flex-duct runs that snake through a limestone hillside. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Austin office, but our technicians live and work in the Bee Cave area, which means we’re familiar with the caliche dust that blows off construction sites along RM 620 and the cedar pollen that coats everything from December through February. When you call (323) 918-4345, a live person answers, 24/7, and we’ll walk through your home’s specifics before we ever step through your door.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Bee Cave’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Bee Cave homeowners choose us because we treat their homes the way we’d want our own treated, with shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit, quiet tools when there’s a toddler napping down the hall, and a written price before any equipment gets unpacked. Our Air Duct Cleaning team has built a reputation in master-planned communities like Ladera and Falconhead by showing up in uniform, explaining exactly what we’ll do, and leaving photo proof of the clean-up before we head out.
We know the local housing stock here. Most Bee Cave homes were built between 2003 and 2018, and many have never had their ducts professionally cleaned. That matters because the 2010s construction boom along TX-71 and RM 620 kicked up caliche dust and drywall particulate that settled into newly installed duct systems before they were properly sealed. We’re not guessing at this. In Falconhead, a 4,800 sq ft home built in 2011 with three zoned systems had never been cleaned since move-in. Our tech found flex-duct liners packed with caliche dust and drywall particulate from the 2010s construction wave along TX-71/RM 620. Using Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA filtration under negative pressure, we performed source removal on all supply and return ducts, then camera-inspected the air handler and blower motor. The homeowner reported noticeably less dust and quieter airflow afterward.
Every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise, stamped on every invoice, not just offered when asked. And we’re part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned companies, working to the Cedarwell Care Promise on every single visit.
Air Duct Repair in Bee Cave
Air Duct Repair in Bee Cave addresses the disconnected flex-duct joints, crushed runs, and deteriorated liner boards that we find in homes built during the 2003-2018 construction wave. The long flex-duct runs in 3,000-5,500 sq ft Hill Country homes are particularly vulnerable to sagging and separation where they span limestone outcroppings or traverse multiple stories. Repair costs in Bee Cave typically range from $200-$600 for localized fixes and $800-$1,800 for extensive re-ducting of a single zone.
Disconnected and Leaking Joints
We regularly find separated flex-duct connections in Bee Cave’s multi-zone systems, especially where installers worked around limestone formations and left insufficient support. A disconnected return duct in a Ladera home can pull attic air directly into the system, bypassing filtration entirely. We reconnect with mechanical fasteners and seal with mastic, then pressure-test to confirm.
Crushed or Collapsed Flex Runs
Storage in attics, rodent pressure, or original installation errors flatten flex ducts over time. In Bee Cave’s larger homes, a single crushed 12-inch return can starve an entire zone of airflow, forcing the system to run longer and louder. We replace damaged sections with properly supported new flex or rigid duct where accessibility allows.
Ductwork Cleaning in Bee Cave
Ductwork Cleaning in Bee Cave means source removal of accumulated debris from supply ducts, return ducts, and the air handler, using professional agitation and HEPA-negative-pressure collection. For a typical Bee Cave home, this service runs $450-$850 per system, with most homes in Falconhead and Ladera requiring 2-3 hours per zone due to longer duct runs and larger square footage. Homes built during the 2003-2018 wave often need their first cleaning now, as flex-duct liners have reached or exceeded their first recommended service interval.
Multi-Zone System Cleaning
A 4,000 sq ft Bee Cave home with three zoned systems isn’t three times a standard job, but it’s close. Each system has its own air handler, return plenum, and duct network. We clean each completely, zone by zone, with before-and-after photos for every air handler. Per-system pricing protects you from the shortcut of cleaning only the most accessible unit and calling it done.
Camera-Verified Source Removal
After agitation with Rotobrush tools and Nikro HEPA collection, we camera-inspect key runs to verify that construction residue, cedar pollen buildup, and caliche dust have actually been removed from flex-duct liners. You see what we see. Documentation matters when you’re paying for work you can’t otherwise verify.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bee Cave
We clean and service ductwork connected to equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, and our cleaning systems include Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA-negative-pressure vacuums. For Bee Cave homeowners, this means we can source replacement filters, humidifier pads, and UV bulbs for systems common in local homes without waiting on shipping. If your Honeywell electronic air cleaner needs a new prefilter or your Aprilaire humidifier pad is crusted with Hill Country minerals, we stock the parts and can often handle it during the same visit as your duct cleaning. Guardsman protective products help us keep your floors and finishes clean while we work.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Bee Cave Homes
- Cedar pollen saturation in flex-duct liners. Bee Cave sits squarely in the Ashe juniper belt, where December-February pollen counts routinely reach extreme levels. When windows stay shut and HVAC systems run continuously, dense allergen loads accumulate directly in ductwork. Homes here carry a far heavier biological burden than Austin’s eastern suburbs or Round Rock, making cedar-season cleaning a genuinely urgent annual concern rather than a routine upsell.
- Construction residue from the 2003-2018 build wave. Many Bee Cave homes were occupied while adjacent lots along TX-71 and RM 620 were still being graded and framed. Caliche dust and drywall particulate infiltrated newly installed duct systems before they were ever properly sealed, and homeowners who have never cleaned ducts since move-in are often running systems with a decade or more of embedded residue.
- Undersized returns in oversized homes. The 3,000-5,500 sq ft homes common in Falconhead and Ladera sometimes have return ductwork designed for smaller footprints. Restricted airflow forces systems to run longer, pulling more debris through filters and depositing it in duct corners and turns.
- Neglected multi-zone systems with incomplete cleaning histories. We’ve found Bee Cave homes where one of three systems was cleaned years ago and the others were never touched. Per-system pricing prevents this by treating each zone as the complete job it is, with full documentation for every air handler and duct network.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave, TX
Whole-system duct cleaning in Bee Cave typically costs $450-$850 per system, depending on home size, duct accessibility, and contamination level. A single-system home in a 2,500 sq ft plan might land at the lower end. A 5,000 sq ft Falconhead property with three zoned systems, long flex-duct runs, and heavy construction residue could run $1,200-$2,400 for complete cleaning of all zones.
Factors that affect your price: number of separate HVAC systems (each requires its own complete cleaning), total linear feet of ductwork, presence of construction residue or heavy biological loading, and accessibility issues like crawl spaces or steep limestone terrain around the home. We do not quote per-vent pricing, which encourages rushed, incomplete work. Instead, we provide one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts.
Every estimate is free. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll ask about your home’s square footage, number of systems, and any allergy or dust concerns, then give you a range you can plan around.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Bee Cave
Per-system pricing ensures every complete HVAC system in your home receives full cleaning and documentation, not just the easiest one to access. Many Bee Cave homes in Falconhead and Ladera have two or three zoned systems with separate air handlers and duct networks; a single lump-sum quote often leads to incomplete work on one or more systems. We price each system individually so you know exactly what’s included, and we photo-document every air handler before we leave. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate on your specific home.
Most Bee Cave homes benefit from duct cleaning every 2-3 years, but families with allergy sensitivity should consider annual cleaning after cedar season ends in February. Bee Cave’s extreme December-February pollen counts create a biological load in ductwork that Austin’s eastern suburbs simply don’t match. Cleaning in March or April removes that seasonal accumulation before summer AC season begins. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule post-cedar-season service.
You should receive a written invoice with your agreed price, a description of services performed on each system, and before-and-after photos of the clean-up. At Morton’s, we also include a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves, showing floors, furniture, and work areas left better than we found them. Camera inspection images of key duct runs are available on request. This documentation matters for warranty claims, home sales, and your own verification of work you cannot directly see.
Yes, and it’s likely if you’ve never had professional cleaning. The rapid construction along TX-71 and RM 620 during the 2010s left many Bee Cave homes occupied while adjacent lots were still being graded. Caliche dust and drywall particulate infiltrated duct systems before proper sealing, and that residue embeds in flex-duct liners over years of airflow. We’ve found construction-era contamination in homes built as recently as 2018. Camera inspection reveals what standard visual checks cannot.
We use Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA-negative-pressure vacuums for source removal, with camera inspection equipment to verify results. For connected HVAC components, we service and stock parts for Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies systems common in local homes. All work follows the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values, including shoe covers, drop cloths, and pet-safe product choices where available. Call (323) 918-4345 to discuss your specific system.
