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 Lago Vista, TX
Air duct cleaning in Lago Vista typically runs $450-$850 for a whole-home system, and the work looks different here than anywhere else in the Austin area. Homes sit inside the thickest Ashe Juniper canopy in Central Texas, on hilly limestone lots, with duct systems built decades ago for weekend lake-house use that now run year-round. We plan every Lago Vista job around cedar pollen loads, lake humidity, and the specific way these homes were routed. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through what your system needs before anyone steps inside.
Why Lago Vista Homes Are Different
Lago Vista sits on the north shore of Lake Travis, right in the densest part of the Central Texas mountain cedar belt. From December through February, Cedar Fever season pushes some of the highest airborne pollen counts in the state straight into return-air intakes. Homeowners here watch brand-new filters turn yellowish-green within days. That pollen doesn’t just sit in the filter. It moves through the return side, settles inside duct runs, and mixes with something most other Hill Country towns don’t deal with: lakeside humidity.
The lake keeps indoor relative humidity higher than inland communities at the same latitude. That moisture binds cedar pollen and household dust into stubborn, sticky buildup inside ductwork. It also extends the window where organic material can foster mold growth inside ducts, especially in lake-view and lakefront homes on the lower elevations near the water. Local HVAC techs consistently see more moisture staining inside duct boots at those lower tiers than in identically aged homes up on the ridgelines. Same neighborhood, same decade of construction, very different duct conditions depending on elevation.
Most of Lago Vista’s housing stock was built between the 1970s and 1990s as part-time lake houses or retirement homes. Those duct systems were designed for seasonal or weekend use. Now that Lago Vista runs as a primary-residence Austin exurb, those same flex-duct and early-fiberglass-lined systems move air every day. Many were routed non-standard through rocky, hilly lots to work around limestone, which means low-slope runs where debris and moisture collect and stay.
Our Main Lago Vista Services
Most Lago Vista homeowners call us for one of two things: clearing pollen-caked ductwork after cedar season, or making sure a dryer vent isn’t packed with lint and lake humidity. Both jobs get a written price before we start, and each has its own Lago Vista page with local details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lago Vista
Whole-home air duct cleaning here means addressing what cedar pollen plus lake humidity does to duct interiors. We run professional-grade agitation and high-powered vacuum collection through every supply and return run, paying close attention to low-slope sections common on Lago Vista’s limestone lots. We protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the first step inside, and we work around nap schedules when kids or pets are home. That’s standard on every visit, not a request. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Lago Vista page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lago Vista
Dryer vents in Lago Vista collect lint faster than you’d expect because elevated lake humidity keeps lint damp and sticky, so it clings to vent walls instead of blowing through. Long, low-slope vent runs routed through rocky Hill Country lots make the problem worse. We clean the full vent run from dryer to exterior termination, verify airflow with a digital manometer, and confirm the flap at the exterior vents correctly. Details on what’s included are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lago Vista page.

What Lago Vista 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."
