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 in Lakeway, TX
Complete HVAC cleaning and air quality services in Lakeway typically run $380-$780 for whole-system work, with most jobs scheduled within a week during peak cedar season. Lakeway’s large custom homes with multi-zone systems and Hill Country pollen loads create duct conditions that differ materially from standard Austin tract housing. Call (737) 243-9544 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Lakeway Homes Are Different
Lakeway sits in the epicenter of Texas’s Ashe juniper belt, where the December-February cedar pollen season dumps microscopic particles that infiltrate duct systems at levels unseen in Austin proper. Because AC systems sit dormant during peak cedar season, pollen settles deep into return ducts and air handlers, then recirculates the moment heating or spring cooling starts. This makes post-cedar-season duct cleaning a genuinely Hill Country-specific need.
The housing stock reinforces the problem. Most Lakeway homes are large, custom or semi-custom builds from the late 1990s through the 2010s-2020s, many with multi-zone HVAC systems and tighter building envelopes. Construction debris from ongoing development frequently ends up trapped in ducts, and complex zoning creates more linear footage of ductwork per home than typical Austin tract houses. Proximity to Lake Travis also creates localized humidity pockets in lakeside neighborhoods, elevating microbial growth risk inside ductwork during seven to eight months of near-continuous AC operation.
Homes backing up to cedar-covered greenbelt and golf course buffers, particularly in Rough Hollow and Lake Travis communities, show the heaviest juniper pollen loads in return air filters and plenum boxes. Technicians working this corridor regularly find debris requiring an additional flush pass that comparable Austin neighborhoods simply don’t need.
Our Main Lakeway Services
Most Lakeway homeowners contact us for two core services, with three additional specialties handled on dedicated pages.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lakeway
Negative-pressure extraction of the full duct network, from return plenum to supply registers, with before-and-after photography of every run. In Lakeway, we typically find cedar pollen compaction in returns and construction debris in newer builds. Air Duct Cleaning in Lakeway covers the full scope, pricing, and scheduling process.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lakeway
Rotary brushing and vacuum extraction of the complete dryer exhaust path from appliance to exterior termination, with airflow verification. Lakeway’s larger homes often have extended vent runs through multiple stories, increasing lint accumulation risk. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lakeway details our full process.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Lakeway
Leak detection, manual sealing of disconnected joints, and Aeroseal injection for diffuse leakage in hard-to-access ductwork. Multi-zone Lakeway homes with attic trunk lines often show separation at flex-duct connections. Duct Repair & Sealing in Lakeway explains our repair methods and pricing.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Lakeway
HVAC cleaning in Lakeway addresses the components the ducts connect to: the air handler, coils, blower, and heat exchanger. Given local pollen loads and extended cooling seasons, these components accumulate debris that restricts airflow and degrades efficiency in ways that duct cleaning alone cannot fix. Our HVAC Cleaning hub explains equipment and methods in detail.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, reduced airflow from vents, or cooling that can’t keep up during August afternoons in Lakeway.
What it costs in Lakeway
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 in Lakeway.
How we do it
We apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil before and after through the access panel.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, weak airflow despite clean filters, or dust streaking from supply registers.
What it costs in Lakeway
Blower cleaning typically runs $140-$260 in Lakeway.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean blades and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and reinstall with torque verification.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Lakeway
| Item | Typical range in Lakeway |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $140-$260 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil, blower, housing) | $380-$620 |
How often should HVAC components be cleaned in Lakeway?
Every three to five years for most Lakeway homes, but homes on the cedar greenbelt or with ongoing construction nearby often need coil and blower attention every two years. Call (737) 243-9544 and we’ll assess your specific conditions.
Does HVAC cleaning help with cedar pollen?
Yes, pollen that bypasses filters cakes onto the coil and blower, where it recirculates until physically removed; cleaning these components after cedar season ends is standard practice for Lakeway homeowners with allergy sensitivity.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Lakeway
Air quality services in Lakeway target the microbial and particulate problems created by local humidity pockets and extended AC runtime. Lake Travis proximity keeps duct interiors damp longer than drier Hill Country towns, and seven to eight months of cooling operation gives mold spores continuous opportunity to colonize. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing hub covers equipment specifications and health considerations.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system starts, visible growth around registers, or allergy symptoms that worsen at home during Lakeway’s humid summer months.
What it costs in Lakeway
Mold treatment typically runs $280-$520 in Lakeway depending on affected duct footage.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct network, let it dwell per manufacturer spec, then extract residue and photograph treated runs.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring microbial growth after cleaning, or a household member with compromised immunity who needs continuous suppression.
What it costs in Lakeway
UV light installation typically runs $340-$580 in Lakeway including the unit and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit, and verify irradiance at the coil surface.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Lakeway
| Item | Typical range in Lakeway |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $280-$520 |
| UV light installation | $340-$580 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (whole system) | $220-$380 |
Is mold treatment safe for pets and kids?
We use EPA-registered products with manufacturer-specified re-entry times, typically two to four hours after application; we provide written clearance before you return. Call (737) 243-9544 for product specifics.
Will UV lights eliminate cedar pollen?
No, UV-C targets living organisms like mold and bacteria; pollen is particulate and requires filtration or removal through duct cleaning, which we address with separate services.
