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 Hitchcock, TX
Air duct cleaning in Hitchcock, TX runs between $285 and $480 for a typical single-family home, and most jobs take a full morning with our Rotobrush equipment. What makes Hitchcock different from Houston or League City is the housing stock: homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s on pier-and-beam or low-slab foundations, many of which took floodwater from Hurricane Ike in 2008 and never had their ductwork opened afterward. We plan every Hitchcock job around those specific conditions, not around a generic checklist. If you’re ready to talk through what’s inside your ducts, call (323) 918-4345 and a live person will answer.
Why Hitchcock Homes Are Different
Hitchcock sits at extremely low elevation in Galveston County, and the storm surge from Ike didn’t just wet the floors. It pushed saltwater into crawl spaces and under-floor duct runs, and a lot of that ductwork was dried out, patched around, and left in place. We still find flex duct in pier-and-beam homes with inner linings black from mold that’s been there since 2008 – and the homeowner had no reason to suspect it because the thermostat kept blowing cool air. The cosmetic repairs after the storm covered walls and flooring, but ductwork isn’t visible, so it rarely got touched.
On top of that, coastal air in Hitchcock carries dew points above 75°F for months at a stretch. HVAC systems here run almost continuously from April through October, pulling in salt-laden marine air that condenses inside duct runs and corrodes flex connections. That combination – near-constant runtime plus moisture – is why mold colonizes faster in Hitchcock than it does twenty miles inland. When we clean a Hitchcock system, we’re not just removing dust. We’re addressing what the local climate and the flood history left behind.
Our Main Hitchcock Services
Most Hitchcock homeowners call us for one of two things: a full air duct cleaning on a home that hasn’t had it done in a decade or more, or a dryer vent cleaning on a laundry setup that’s fighting coastal humidity. Here’s what each involves here.
Air Duct Cleaning in Hitchcock
The typical Hitchcock job takes us through every supply and return register, the trunk lines, and the return plenum. We use Rotobrush equipment with HEPA filtration, and we pull the registers to clean the boots where dust and pet hair collect. On pier-and-beam homes, we pay close attention to under-floor duct runs – that’s where post-Ike contamination lingers in this area more than anywhere else we work. Before we start, you get a written price for the whole system. That’s the price on the invoice. Air Duct Cleaning in Hitchcock has the full breakdown on what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hitchcock
Dryer vents in Hitchcock accumulate lint fast, and the coastal humidity makes that lint clump and stick to vent walls instead of blowing through. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, check the flap for salt corrosion, and confirm proper airflow with a meter before and after. Homes with laundry rooms on interior walls often have longer vent runs here, and those are the ones that clog fastest. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hitchcock covers the specifics, including warning signs to watch for.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Hitchcock
Scheduling and dispatch are coordinated from our Houston office, and Hitchcock crews run local routes throughout the week. Most homeowners get an appointment within three to five business days, and we’ll give you a firm window so you’re not waiting around all day. Call (323) 918-4345 and the person on the phone can check the next available slot for your street.
Pier-and-beam foundations add time because we access under-floor duct runs from the crawl space, and that’s reflected in the written quote before we start. Homes that took floodwater during Ike sometimes need an extra pass through the ductwork if contamination is heavy. You’ll see it in the price before we begin, not after.
No. Air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning don’t require a city permit in Hitchcock, and no HOA in the area requires approval for interior duct work. If you have an HOA that schedules exterior vent inspections, that’s separate – but our work doesn’t trigger any of that. We’ll confirm everything you need to know when you call.
If your ducts haven’t been opened since you bought the house, or if you know your home sat through Ike and you’ve never checked what’s inside the system, call (323) 918-4345. We’ll walk through what we’d do at your place, give you a written price, and work around your schedule – kids, dogs, nap times, all of it.

What Hitchcock Customers Say
"New house, old dusty ducts. They were gentle in the house, laid down drop cloths, and double checked every register was sealed back up. Air smells fresh now."
- Scott Hemmings"Friendly, calm crew that clearly cared about the house. Covered their shoes, protected the floors, and double checked they'd closed up every vent cover properly. Would have them back."
- Omar Zaid"Ducts and dryer vent both. They put runners down the whole hall and wore booties. Spotless after, and they showed me photos of what came out. Worth every penny."
