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.

Air Duct Repair in Leander
Air Duct Repair in Leander addresses the specific failures we see in this market: degraded flex duct liners in 130-140°F attics, separated joints from thermal expansion cycles, and collapsed sections where builder-grade materials gave out after a decade of Central Texas heat.
Most Leander homes built after 2005 in communities like Mason Hills or Crystal Falls used flexible duct routed through unconditioned attic space. That design choice saves construction cost but creates a predictable failure point. When the liner degrades, it sheds insulation particles into your air stream. When seams separate, conditioned air leaks into the attic and your system runs longer to compensate. We inspect with video cameras, identify the exact location and nature of the damage, and quote repair before cutting or sealing anything.
Attic Flex Duct Replacement
We remove degraded flex duct and install new R-8 insulated sections with mechanical connections, not just tape. In Leander’s attic environment, tape fails. We use proper supports to prevent sagging, which creates condensation traps and mold risk.
Leak Sealing and Pressure Testing
After repair, we pressurize the system and verify with a duct blaster or smoke test. A typical repair job in Leander runs $400-$900 depending on linear footage and accessibility. We write the price before we start, every time.
Ductwork Cleaning in Leander
Ductwork Cleaning in Leander removes the accumulated debris that standard filters can’t catch: cedar pollen that bypasses 1-inch pleated filters during December through February, construction dust from original builder punch-lists that were skipped in the 2005-2015 boom, and degraded flex duct liner particles that shake loose during summer heat cycles.
Our process uses negative pressure HEPA containment, which means we put your system under vacuum while agitation tools knock debris loose. Nothing blows into your living space. We run a camera before and after so you see the difference. For a typical 2,000-square-foot Leander home, complete ductwork cleaning runs $350-$650. Larger homes or systems with multiple zones run higher, and we quote exact before we start.
Negative Pressure HEPA Cleaning
We connect a Nikro or Abatement Technologies portable HEPA collector to your main trunk. This creates suction throughout the system while we use Rotobrush agitation tools at each vent. The debris goes straight into filtered containment, not your carpet.
Camera Verification
Our Honeywell video inspection system lets us show you the inside of your ducts before we start and the clean surface after we finish. In Leander’s new-build neighborhoods, we often find the contrast is dramatic: gray construction dust and pollen matting versus clean metal or flex.
Trusted Brands We Service in Leander
We clean and repair systems with components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, and we carry common replacement parts for these brands on our Leander service trucks. That inventory means most repairs don’t require a second trip. For specialty Aprilaire media filters or Honeywell electronic air cleaner cells, we can typically source within 24 hours through our Austin supply house. We don’t use entry-level rental equipment. Our Rotobrush and Nikro machines are professional-grade, maintained on schedule, and sized for the ductwork found in Leander’s residential construction.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Leander Homes
- Original construction debris in decade-old homes. In fast-built subdivisions along the 183A toll corridor, we regularly find visible drywall dust and wood shavings from 2008-2015 construction still sitting in ductwork. The homes sold too quickly for proper punch-list duct cleaning, and most owners have never scheduled it since.
- Cedar pollen matting in return ducts. Leander’s position deep in the Ashe juniper belt means December through February brings pollen loads that overwhelm standard filters. Without at least MERV 11 filtration, pollen bypasses and accumulates in return plenums, creating a thick allergenic layer.
- Degraded flex duct liner shedding particles. Summer attic temperatures of 130-140°F in Leander’s slab-on-grade tract homes accelerate the breakdown of builder-grade flex duct insulation. Cleaning without inspecting liner condition can actually increase particulate in your air stream.
- Overlooked outbuilding and detached workshop systems. Rural properties on well water or septic often have HVAC or dryer vent systems that go years without service. We’ve found dryer vents completely clogged with lint, a genuine fire risk, because no technician ever made the drive out.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Leander, TX
A typical residential duct cleaning in Leander runs $350-$650 for a complete system, including supply ducts, return ducts, and trunk line. Commercial systems or larger homes with multiple zones typically fall in the $800-$1,400 range. Dryer vent cleaning, which we often pair with duct service, adds $150-$250.
What moves you within those ranges? Square footage, number of vents, accessibility of the main trunk, and whether we find conditions that need repair before cleaning is effective. We don’t quote per-vent pricing, and we don’t offer teaser rates that balloon once we’re on site. One flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any work starts.
We also don’t charge extra for the things that should be standard: shoe covers, drop cloths, furniture protection, and the photo of your clean home before we leave. Those are part of the Cedarwell Care Promise on every job.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Leander
Every 2-3 years is the right interval for most Leander homes, and cedar pollen is exactly why. Leander sits deep in the Ashe juniper belt, so between December and February, every mild winter day the heat runs, the system pulls in some of the most concentrated cedar pollen loads in North America. Coupled with the fact that most homes here were built after 2005 and still carry original construction dust, a three-year cleaning interval lets cedar pollen, drywall dust, and insulation fibers compound into a thick, allergenic mat that a one-time cleaning can’t fully address. Rural properties on unpaved roads may need service closer to every two years due to additional dust loading. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule and we’ll assess your specific environment.
Yes, and probably more than you expect. In the fast-built subdivisions along the 183A toll corridor, technicians routinely find visible drywall dust and wood shavings from original construction still sitting in the ductwork of homes that are a decade old, because Leander’s homes sold so quickly during the growth boom that builder punch-list duct cleaning was frequently skipped before closing. On top of that, eight years of cedar pollen and standard filter bypass have added their own layers. A 2015 Bryson home is actually in the sweet spot where original construction debris has compounded with environmental loading, but many owners have never once scheduled professional cleaning. We can camera-inspect and show you exactly what’s in there before you decide.
Negative pressure means we put your entire duct system under vacuum while we clean, so dislodged debris is sucked into HEPA-filtered containment rather than blown into your living space. It matters for Leander homes because the debris we’re removing is often fine particulate: cedar pollen, degraded flex duct liner particles, and construction dust. Without negative pressure containment, agitation tools would simply redistribute this material through your house. Our Nikro and Abatement Technologies collectors maintain sufficient airflow to capture particles down to 0.3 microns. We never clean without this protection in place.
Yes, we regularly service detached workshops, barns with HVAC, and outbuilding systems on rural Leander properties. These systems are often overlooked for years, and we’ve found conditions ranging from clogged returns to completely blocked dryer vents that present genuine fire risk. The drive time is built into our estimate, and we bring the same equipment and process we use for main house systems. We also check whether your outbuilding system shares any infrastructure with the main house that could affect overall performance.
The most reliable method is a video camera inspection, which we perform before every cleaning and can do as a standalone service if you’re not ready to commit to full cleaning. Visual signs that suggest construction debris include visible dust puffing from vents when the system cycles on, a gray film on vent grilles that returns quickly after cleaning, and allergy symptoms that spike when the HVAC runs despite regular filter changes. In Crystal Falls, a homeowner called us because their ten-year-old system was blowing visible dust every time the heat kicked on, and their allergies were unbearable during cedar season. The supply and return ducts still held drywall dust and wood shavings from the original build, and the flex duct liner in the attic had degraded from years of 140°F summer heat. We set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration, used agitation tools to break loose the compacted debris, and performed a camera inspection before and after; the blower motor amp draw dropped noticeably, and the homeowner reported immediate relief. If your Leander home was built during the 2005-2015 growth wave and has never been cleaned, construction debris is more likely than not.
