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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Manor
Air duct cleaning in Manor, TX typically runs $350-$650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few business days. If your home was built after 2010 in ShadowGlen, Whisper Valley, or any of Manor’s newer subdivisions, there’s a strong chance your ducts are still carrying construction debris from the original build.
We’ve been serving Manor families since 2005, and our crews know the difference between cleaning decades-old buildup and clearing out drywall dust, sawdust, and insulation fibers that got sealed into brand-new flex duct during construction. Our Austin office coordinates scheduling for Manor, so we’re familiar with the area and the specific problems these newer homes present. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate, or read on to understand what you’re actually dealing with up in those ceiling runs.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Manor’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Manor families call us back because we treat their homes like we would our own. Our technicians arrive in uniform with shoe covers and drop cloths already in hand, and we provide a written price before any work starts, every single time. No surprises on the invoice, no pressure to add services once we’re inside.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team works to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values, which means we’re quiet during nap hours, careful around pet areas, and we leave a photo of the clean-up before we walk out the door. Every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise, and a live person answers the phone 24/7, not a voicemail or chatbot.
We know Manor’s streets and subdivisions. Dispatch runs from our Austin office, but our crews are in Manor regularly, from the newer builds on the east side to the historic core near downtown. That local familiarity matters when you’re trying to describe which register is making noise or which room never gets enough airflow.
Air Duct Inspection in Manor
Air Duct Inspection in Manor is often the right first step for homeowners who suspect a problem but aren’t sure what they’re looking at. We use a video camera system to run through your supply and return ducts, recording what we find so you can see it yourself. In Manor’s post-2010 subdivisions, we regularly find construction debris still lodged in flex duct from the original build, crushed runs where a framer stepped on the duct before drywall went up, and boot-to-plenum joints that were never properly sealed.
A typical air duct inspection in Manor runs $150-$250. That fee is applied toward your cleaning if you move forward with the work.
Post-Construction Debris Assessment
New homes aren’t clean homes, not inside the ducts. In ShadowGlen and similar Manor subdivisions, we pull off supply plenum covers and find drywall dust half an inch thick on the duct interior, sawdust packed into return boots, and insulation fibers that the HVAC contractor never removed before handoff. The camera doesn’t lie, and seeing it helps you decide whether cleaning is worth it.
System Integrity Check
We also look for disconnected or crushed flex runs, leaky plenum joints, and signs that your system is pulling unfiltered air from the attic or crawlspace. In Manor’s Blackland Prairie clay soils, a disconnected return boot can draw fine dust straight into your living space every time the blower cycles. Finding that early saves you money on filters, energy, and repeated cleaning.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Manor
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Manor addresses the specific contamination patterns we see in this market, not a generic template. Most of our Manor calls come from families in 2010s-2020s tract homes who moved in two or three years ago and noticed dust pouring from registers, rooms that won’t heat or cool evenly, or allergy symptoms that spike when the HVAC runs.
Our process puts the entire system under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, then runs agitation tools through every supply and return duct to dislodge debris. We seal disconnected joints with mastic, repair crushed runs where accessible, and camera-verify the work before we pack up. A typical full residential cleaning in Manor runs $350-$650 depending on system size and what we find.
Construction Debris Source Removal
This isn’t maintenance cleaning. It’s source removal, pulling out the drywall dust, sawdust, and insulation fibers that were baked into your ducts during construction. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, not rental-grade shop vacs, because new flex duct with debris caked on requires real agitation and controlled extraction.
GeoGrid-Aware Service for Whisper Valley
Whisper Valley’s shared underground GeoGrid geothermal loop means no outdoor condenser, so your indoor air handler carries the entire thermal load. Our technicians are trained to work around the hydronic connections at the air-handler cabinet, never disturbing them. Most regional duct cleaners have never encountered this configuration, and a mistake there is expensive. We know what not to touch.
Trusted Brands We Service in Manor
Our crews arrive with professional equipment from brands that technicians actually want to use: Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro HEPA extractors, and when we’re sealing or conditioning ductwork, we stock Aprilaire and Abatement Technologies products. These aren’t entry-level rental tools, and they make a visible difference in the debris we can remove from Manor’s new-construction flex duct. We keep common parts and supplies on the van, so most repairs don’t require a return trip. That matters when you’re scheduling around work, school pickup, or a toddler’s nap window.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Manor Homes
- Post-construction debris sealed into new flex duct. The HVAC contractor in a 2019 ShadowGlen build typically installs the ductwork while drywall is still going up and framing is active. Drywall dust, sawdust, and insulation fibers get pulled into the system and never cleaned out before handoff. Two years later, the homeowner turns on the heat and gets a faceful of fine particulate.
- Disconnected or crushed flex runs behind finished walls. A boot-to-duct joint pops loose during construction, or a framer steps on a supply run before drywall covers it. The duct dumps conditioned air into the attic and pulls Blackland Prairie clay dust into the return through gaps in the building envelope. We find these with camera inspection and seal what we can access.
- Unsealed plenum joints pulling unfiltered attic air. In Manor’s rapid-build environment, mastic application on plenum joints is often skipped or skimped. The return side operates under negative pressure, so every gap pulls hot attic air, insulation particles, and rodent droppings straight into your breathing air.
- Whisper Valley GeoGrid homes with unfamiliar air-handler configurations. The shared underground loop means all thermal work happens at the indoor cabinet. Duct integrity and cleanliness matter more here because there’s no outdoor unit to compensate for airflow restrictions. Technicians unfamiliar with the hydronic connections can cause serious damage.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Manor, TX
Here’s what air duct cleaning actually costs in Manor’s market, based on the homes we work in:
| Service | Typical Range in Manor |
|---|---|
| Air Duct Inspection (video camera) | $150 - $250 |
| Residential Duct Cleaning (full system, standard home) | $350 - $650 |
| Residential Duct Cleaning (large home, 4+ zones) | $600 - $950 |
| Supply Duct Cleaning Only | $200 - $400 |
| Return Duct Cleaning Only | $200 - $400 |
| Dryer Vent Cleaning (add-on or standalone) | $150 - $250 |
What moves you up or down in that range: system size, number of supply and return runs, accessibility (crawlspace vs. attic vs. conditioned space), and what we find during inspection. A home with one crushed run and two unsealed plenum joints takes longer than a straightforward debris removal. We give you one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we start. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons after the van is in your driveway. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote, estimates are free.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Manor
No, it’s not too late, and for a 2018 build in Manor, you’re probably right in the sweet spot where construction debris is fully dried and brittle but hasn’t hardened into a permanent coating. We regularly clean ShadowGlen and Whisper Valley homes from the 2017-2020 build wave and remove significant debris. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free inspection and we’ll show you what’s up there.
Manor sits on the Blackland Prairie, where heavy clay soils pulverize into fine dust during dry stretches and get drawn into return-air systems, especially in newer homes with minimal mature landscaping to anchor the soil. If your return ducts have unsealed joints or disconnected boots, that dust bypasses your filter entirely. We find and seal those leaks during our cleaning process.
Yes, and we’re careful about it. Whisper Valley’s shared underground loop means all thermal work happens at the indoor air-handler cabinet, and the hydronic connections there are a hard no-touch zone during duct cleaning. Our technicians are trained on this specific configuration, which most regional duct cleaners have never encountered. We clean the full duct system without disturbing the geothermal equipment.
For most Manor homes, we recommend an initial post-construction cleaning within the first two to five years, then reassessment every three to five years after that. Central Texas mountain cedar pollen season, peaking December through February, layers significant allergen loads onto your system annually. The Blackland Prairie dust doesn’t stop either. One cleaning fixes the construction debris problem, ongoing maintenance addresses what the environment keeps adding.
We use Rotobrush agitation systems and Nikro HEPA extraction equipment as our primary tools, with Aprilaire and Abatement Technologies products for sealing and conditioning work. These are professional-grade systems, not rental shop vacs, and they make a measurable difference in what we can remove from new-construction flex duct. Call (323) 918-4345 if you’d like specifics on what we’d use for your home’s configuration.
