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.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Carrollton
Residential Duct Cleaning
Carrollton’s single-family homes carry a specific burden: 30-45 years of thermal cycling in attics that hit 130-140°F, pulling cedar, oak, and ragweed pollen deep into duct systems for five to six months of near-continuous cooling. Our residential cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, but we don’t start until the video inspection shows us what we’re dealing with. In Carrollton’s 1975-1995 build stock, we’re often documenting delaminated duct board or separated flex runs that change the scope from cleaning to repair. The written price reflects what we actually find.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Carrollton’s commercial spaces along Interstate 35E and the Dallas North Tollway, from medical offices to retail suites, face their own accumulation patterns: higher occupant density, longer HVAC runtime, and duct systems that rarely get inspected until tenant complaints force the issue. We clean commercial systems with the same documented approach, photographing every trunk and branch before and after, and delivering a job record that satisfies facility managers and property owners who need evidence, not promises.
Supply Duct Cleaning
The supply side pushes conditioned air into your rooms, and in Carrollton homes, it’s where we most often find the damage that matters. Flex duct runs pulled apart at supply boots by foundation movement, or collapsed inner liners at collars, restrict airflow and trap debris that accelerates blower motor strain. We clean supply ducts with source removal techniques, but we also flag separations and collapses that require reconnection or replacement. The photo record shows you exactly which runs were intact, which were compromised, and what we did about it.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in Carrollton’s older homes, the return plenum is where clay soil movement does some of its worst work. We’ve found return plenums completely detached from the air handler cabinet, pulling unconditioned attic air straight into the system. Cleaning a return duct without inspecting the plenum connection is vacuum noise with no purpose. Our return duct service includes camera inspection of the plenum and all connections, with documentation of what we find.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Carrollton means every supply run, every return run, the trunk lines, the plenums, and the air handler cabinet. Given the age and condition of most Carrollton ductwork, this is the service we recommend most often, and it’s the only way to get a complete picture of the system’s health. The flat price covers the entire system, not per-vent pricing that balloons once the truck arrives. We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, and we name the brands so you can verify what we’re using.
Video Inspection
We won’t quote a cleaning price in Carrollton without a video inspection first. The camera shows us delaminated duct board, separated flex runs, collapsed liners, and debris accumulation that a visual register check misses entirely. The inspection fee is applied to the cleaning if you proceed, and the footage becomes part of your Documented Photo Record. In Carrollton’s housing stock, the inspection often reveals conditions that change the job from cleaning to cleaning plus sealing or encapsulation, and we want that known before we agree to a price.

Our equipment roster includes professional-grade tools from Nikro, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, names you can look up independently before agreeing to any work. We stock components for Carrollton’s common HVAC configurations, including replacement flex duct, duct board encapsulation products, and collar reconnections, which means faster turnaround when inspection reveals damage that cleaning alone won’t fix. Our technicians carry Honeywell and Aprilaire media filters and whole-house air cleaners for homeowners who want to address source issues after the ductwork is clean and sealed.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Carrollton Homes
- Delaminated fiberglass duct board inner liners. The foil-and-fiberglass inner surface of duct board trunks separates after decades of 130°F attic exposure, releasing glass fibers into conditioned air. We find this in Carrollton’s 1980s builds so routinely that we inspect for it before quoting any flat price. Encapsulation or replacement is the fix, not cleaning.
- Flex duct runs separated at supply boots and return plenums. Carrollton’s Blackland Prairie expansive clay soil shifts continuously, pulling duct connections apart and creating hidden air loss that drives up electric bills. A cleaning crew that doesn’t inspect connections leaves the real problem untouched.
- Collapsed or separated flex duct inner liners at collars. The inner plastic liner of flex duct detaches from the wire helix, creating a restriction that traps debris and forces the blower motor to work harder. We document these with the camera and include reconnection or replacement in the written scope.
- Heavy pollen and debris accumulation from extended cooling seasons. Carrollton’s climate demands near-continuous cooling from May through October, pulling spring cedar, oak, and ragweed pollen deep into duct systems faster than in moderate climates. The debris layer we find is often thicker than the national average for homes of similar age.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Carrollton, TX
A typical residential duct cleaning in Carrollton runs $380-$520 for a standard system up to 12 supply and return runs, with whole-system cleaning for larger homes or more complex layouts at $580-$720. Video inspection is $89-$129, applied to the cleaning price if you proceed. Duct board encapsulation, when delamination is found, adds $340-$480 depending on trunk line length. Flex duct reconnection or replacement at separated collars runs $85-$140 per run, with most Carrollton homes needing 2-4 runs addressed once we inspect.
What moves the price: the number of duct runs, accessibility of the attic or crawl space, presence of delaminated duct board requiring encapsulation, and separated flex runs needing reconnection. We do not quote per-vent pricing. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires one flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. Bring a competitor’s written estimate and we’ll provide a Free Second Opinion, our number next to theirs, no obligation.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Carrollton
Because Carrollton’s 1975-1995 housing stock frequently contains delaminated fiberglass duct board and separated flex runs that change the job scope from cleaning to cleaning plus repair. We were called to a 1983-built home off Josey Lane where the homeowner complained of dust streaks on the ceilings and a 15% jump in summer electric bills. During our camera inspection, we found the original fiberglass duct board trunk line had a delaminated inner foil liner shedding glass fibers into the supply ducts, and three flex runs had completely separated at the collars due to slab movement. After encapsulating the duct board, reconnecting the flex runs, and performing source removal with negative pressure and HEPA filtration, the static pressure dropped and the homeowner reported immediate relief from dust and allergy symptoms. Without the inspection, we would have quoted a cleaning price for a system that needed repair first. Call (682) 297-4068 to schedule an inspection; the fee applies to your cleaning if you proceed.
Carrollton sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, causing continuous foundation movement that pulls flex duct connections apart at supply boots and return plenums. This failure rate is significantly higher than in neighboring cities on sandy or loam soils, and it turns routine cleanings into hidden air-loss investigations. We inspect every connection with the camera and include reconnection or replacement in the written scope when we find separation. Call (682) 297-4068 for an inspection that catches what clay soil has done to your system.
Cleaning removes accumulated debris; sealing closes the gaps and leaks that Carrollton’s foundation movement and aged materials create. In a typical Carrollton home from the 1980s, we clean the debris from intact duct runs and then seal or encapsulate delaminated duct board and reconnect separated flex at the collars. The flat price includes both when inspection shows both are needed, and the photo record documents every repair. Call (682) 297-4068 for a written scope that distinguishes what’s dirty from what’s broken.
Every 4-6 years for most Carrollton homes, sooner if you have pets, recent renovation, or occupants with allergies. The extended cooling season and heavy spring pollen load mean debris accumulates faster here than in moderate climates, and the age of the ductwork means material breakdown accelerates the contamination timeline. We recommend a video inspection at the 4-year mark to assess whether cleaning or repair is the priority. Call (682) 297-4068 to schedule.
No, and we won’t try. Collapsed or separated flex duct must be reconnected or replaced before cleaning has any value; running a brush through a collapsed liner damages it further. In Carrollton homes, we find this condition regularly and include reconnection or replacement in the written scope, with the flat price covering the repair plus the subsequent cleaning. The photo record shows you the before condition, the repair, and the cleaned result. Call (682) 297-4068 for an inspection that identifies collapsed runs before any work begins.
