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 Fort Worth, TX
We’ve cleaned more than 52,000 homes since 2013, and we’ve photographed every duct run on every one of them. The camera doesn’t exaggerate. Below are representative jobs from across Fort Worth - what we found, what the equipment recorded, and what the homeowner received in their documented photo record.
Recent Transformations
Heavy Dust Load in Ridglea Hills Ranch Home
The homeowner in Ridglea Hills called after noticing dust resettling on furniture within 48 hours of cleaning. Our camera showed the problem: the previous company had only vacuumed the registers (the visible vent covers) and never entered the duct runs. We used a Rotobrush system with HEPA containment to agitate and extract the compacted load at the plenum. The documented photo record showed bare metal at every access point. Written price before work started: $340 for the full system under Haven Standard Clause 1.
Construction Debris in New Build Near Alliance Town Center
New construction in Fort Worth doesn’t mean clean ducts. In this Alliance-area build, the HVAC contractor had pressurized the system during drywall sanding with no return filter installed. We found a crushed flex section (the ribbed plastic ducting common in modern homes) that was restricting airflow by roughly 30%. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, we wrote a two-scope price: $290 for extraction and sanitizing, plus $180 for duct repair and sealing. The crew replaced the damaged flex, sealed all joints with mastic (a brush-applied sealant that outlasts tape), and delivered before-and-after photos from inside six runs.
Pet Hair Matting in Mistletoe Heights Historic Home
Mistletoe Heights has some of Fort Worth’s most charming 1920s and 1930s homes, and some of its most restrictive original ductwork. This homeowner had three large dogs and had never had the ducts cleaned in 14 years of ownership. The camera showed hair matting dense enough to block a standard vacuum hose. We used a reverse-skipper ball (a pneumatic tool that drives a rubber projectile through the duct to dislodge stubborn debris) ahead of the rotary brush. The written scope included air quality and sanitizing with an Aprilaire product rated for pet dander neutralization. Total: $420 for the full system, price locked before the first register came off.
Mold Staining in Lake Worth Waterfront Property
Lake Worth properties deal with humidity that inland Fort Worth neighborhoods don’t. This homeowner had noticed a musty odor when the AC cycled on, and a DIY mold test kit had returned positive. Our camera showed the staining was localized to a return run with a small disconnect that was pulling hot, moist attic air across the cool duct surface - condensation, then microbial growth. We wrote two prices: $380 for cleaning and antimicrobial treatment of the affected runs, and $160 to seal the disconnect with mastic and mechanical support. The documented photo record included moisture meter readings before and after. Haven Standard Clause 2: Written Scope - the homeowner knew exactly which runs were treated and which products were applied.
Post-Renovation Cleanup in Fairmount District
Fairmount’s ongoing renovation boom means plenty of homeowners inherit ducts that served as dust collection during construction. This 1910 bungalow had a kitchen wall removed and a beam installed - the contractor had used the nearest supply register as a sawdust dump for three days. We found fiberglass insulation particles (the itchy pink material common in older Fort Worth attics) mixed with hardwood sawdust throughout the main trunk. The crew installed a proper access panel (a sealed metal door for future maintenance) where the contractor had cut a rough hole, then extracted the debris with a two-stage HEPA system. Written price: $310 for extraction and panel installation. The photo record showed the new access panel and clean metal at six inspection points.
Allergen Accumulation in Tanglewood Family Home
Tanglewood’s proximity to the Trinity Trails means beautiful views and aggressive pollen loads. This family had a child with diagnosed pollen allergies and had been told the ducts were “probably fine” by their HVAC maintenance company. The camera showed otherwise: a visible film of oak and ragweed pollen coating the return plenum (the large central chamber where air enters the system before the filter). Standard 1-inch filters don’t catch what agglomerates on the duct walls downstream. We used a Guardsman rotary whip system to dislodge the adhered film, collected it with Nikro negative-pressure equipment, and applied a non-toxic sanitizer. The documented photo record was 23 images, delivered by email the same evening. Written price before work: $295.
