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 Dripping Springs, TX
Air duct cleaning in Dripping Springs costs between $450 and $900 for a full system in an average home here, and the work tends to be more involved than what crews see in Austin proper. Homes on the west side of the city sit on larger Hill Country lots with longer duct runs, and the Ashe Juniper pollen load from December through February means our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment pulls out material most urban homes simply never accumulate. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Dripping Springs Homes Are Different
Dripping Springs sits right in the middle of the Texas Hill Country’s Ashe Juniper belt, and from December through February the pollen counts here routinely hit levels that would send an Austin allergist reaching for a second cup of coffee. Homes on the west side of town, out along Highway 290 toward Johnson City, have cedar trees within 20 to 50 feet of the outdoor return-air intake. When the pollen drops, those returns pull it straight into the ductwork, where it compacts into a fine orange layer inside the boots and along the first few feet of trunk line. Our techs see it on nearly every winter job.
The housing stock is mostly 2005 to 2020s new construction on one to five acre lots, and that matters in two ways. First, post-construction caliche dust and drywall particulate linger inside brand-new ductwork unless someone actually removes it. Second, those bigger lots mean longer duct runs, which means more surface area for pollen and fine limestone dust to settle on year-round. A three-ton system in a Dripping Springs home can hold noticeably more debris than the same system in a tighter Austin subdivision lot.
Our Main Dripping Springs Services
The two services Dripping Springs homeowners ask about most are air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning, and each has its own page with full pricing and local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Dripping Springs
Full-system air duct cleaning here means working through every supply and return register in the home, cleaning the boots, the trunk lines, and the branch runs, and pulling the accumulated cedar pollen, caliche dust, and construction debris out of the system entirely. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for the longer runs that are common in Dripping Springs homes, and we’ll often find the heaviest buildup right where the return air enters the plenum. You can read the full pricing and process on the Air Duct Cleaning in Dripping Springs page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dripping Springs
Clothes dryers in Dripping Springs vent through outside walls, and on many of the larger lots the exterior vent sits far from the dryer, sometimes 20 feet or more of rigid pipe. Lint, pet hair, and the fine dust from the caliche soil all build up in those runs, and a restricted vent makes the dryer work harder and can create a genuine fire hazard. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the terminator outside, every time. More detail is on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dripping Springs page.

What pushes a Dripping Springs job to the higher end of a range is almost always the run length and the pollen load. Homes on larger lots with long branch runs take longer to clean properly, and when the cedar pollen has compacted inside the returns, the job requires more passes with the agitation tools. You get a written price before any work starts, so the number on the quote is the number on the invoice.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Dripping Springs
Most Dripping Springs homes can be scheduled within three to five business days of your call. During the cedar season from December through February, demand rises, so you’ll want to call a couple of weeks ahead if you can. We’ll always give you a firm date and time before we book the job.
No permits are required for air duct or dryer vent cleaning anywhere in Dripping Springs or Hays County. HOA approval is not needed either, since the work happens entirely inside your home and through the existing exterior vent. If your HOA has specific rules about exterior vent covers, our techs are happy to work with whatever is currently installed.
Most homes here do well with a cleaning every two to three years, but homes with cedar trees close to the return intake may want an annual cleaning schedule. If someone in the house has a severe cedar allergy, that yearly pass can make a real difference during December and January. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll talk through what makes sense for your specific lot and system.

- Bonnie Vo"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
