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 Before & After in Irving, TX
We’ve cleaned ducts in Irving since 2013, and we’ve learned one thing: homeowners trust what they can see. Every job we finish includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after. Below are representative projects showing what professional negative-pressure extraction actually looks like inside a plenum (the main distribution box for your HVAC system), not marketing promises.
Recent Transformations
Heavy Debris Build-Up in Las Colinas Townhome Return-Air Plenum
The camera showed a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow of the return-air plenum (the box that pulls air back to your HVAC unit), restricting flow by roughly 40% based on static pressure readings. Our crew used the Nikro portable HEPA system with Rotobrush contact cleaning on the fiberglass duct board, then sealed the access panel with mastic. The after photos show bare pink fiberglass with no visible loading, and the homeowner received the full photo record by email before we left the driveway.
Construction Dust Recovery in Valley Ranch Single-Family System
This 1980s ranch in Valley Ranch had undergone a kitchen remodel six months prior, and the contractor never sealed the registers (the vent covers in each room). Drywall dust had settled through every duct run, coating the evaporator coil and blower assembly. We ran the Abatement Technologies Predator 650 with HEPA filtration through all 12 supply runs and 4 returns, then cleaned the coil with foaming cleaner. The photo record shows white metal at every access point, and the written scope noted a 2.1-inch pressure drop reduction measured at the air handler.
Pet Hair Accumulation in Hackberry Creek Supply Ducts
Three golden retrievers, one HVAC system, and a filter that hadn’t been changed in 14 months. The supply ducts (the tubes that push conditioned air into rooms) were lined with matted hair up to a half-inch thick, particularly at the 90-degree elbows where velocity drops. We used the Rotobrush Beast with a soft-bristle auger to agitate the hair without damaging flex duct, then extracted with the Nikro system. The before photos look like a dryer lint trap; the afters show clean galvanized steel. Haven Standard Clause 1 applied: the written price was $340 for the full system, agreed before we touched the first register screw.
Mold Remediation Prep in Cottonwood Creek Attic Ductwork
The homeowner noticed a musty smell every time the AC cycled on in July. Our inspection camera found organic growth on the interior of two supply runs in the unconditioned attic, where condensation had collected on the duct wrap. We cleaned all runs with negative-pressure extraction, then applied the Guardsman EPA-registered antimicrobial to affected areas per manufacturer dwell-time specifications. The photo record documents the growth before, the bare metal after cleaning, and the treated surfaces post-application. We do not perform remediation ourselves, but we documented the condition thoroughly so the homeowner’s mold contractor had clear scope photos for their protocol.
Older Home Restoration in Irving Heights Original Ductwork
This 1954 pier-and-beam in Irving Heights still had the original galvanized steel ductwork, complete with asbestos tape at the joints we were not licensed to disturb. The interior surfaces had 70 years of accumulated soil, cigarette tar from a previous owner, and rust scaling at the low points. We worked around the tape, used gentle contact cleaning with the Rotobrush, and upgraded the return-air filter slot to accept a Honeywell F100 media filter (a 4-inch pleated cartridge that captures far more particulate than a standard 1-inch fiberglass pad). The photo record shows the rust-colored before and the gunmetal-gray after, with a written note identifying which joints we did not disturb for safety.
Dryer Vent Fire Hazard in MacArthur Park Area Condo
The dryer was taking three cycles to dry towels, and the homeowner smelled burning lint. Our camera showed a packed restriction 12 feet from the exterior termination, where the flex transition hose had sagged behind the stacked washer-dryer. We used the Nikro dryer vent rotary system with reverse-blowing skipper balls to clear the entire 18-foot run, then replaced the crushed flex with rigid metal per IRC code. The lint volume filled a 5-gallon bucket. This is not air duct cleaning, but it’s the same principle: restricted airflow wastes energy and creates genuine fire risk. The photo record shows the packed vent, the clear path to daylight, and the code-compliant rigid replacement.
What Every CleanRun Photo Record Includes
Our Documented Photo Record is not a few snapshots on a phone. On every job in Irving, you receive:
- Before photos of every accessible duct run, labeled by register location
- After photos from the same access points, showing the same surfaces
- Static pressure readings before and after, where accessible
- A written scope of work signed by the technician and timestamped
- The written price, agreed before work started, noted on the job record
These are delivered as part of the standard job record, not an upsell. We’ve done this since our first job in 2013 because Tomas Reyes, Owner, got tired of hearing customers say they had no way to know if previous cleaners had actually done anything beyond running a vacuum near the registers.
