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.

Air duct cleaning in Aldine, TX typically runs $380-$720 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We serve Aldine directly from our Houston office, and our crews know the area’s specific challenges: original fiberglass duct board in 1960s-1980s slab-on-grade ranches, flood damage from Hurricane Harvey still hiding in return plenums, and flex duct crushed by decades of 150°F attic heat.
When you call (346) 423-3631, you’ll speak to a live person who can schedule your free estimate. We arrive with a written price before any work starts, photograph every duct run before and after, and back everything with our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Spring Is Aldine’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Aldine since our founding in 2013, and the pattern here is distinct from higher-elevation suburbs. The unincorporated status historically meant fewer required inspections, so ductwork in Aldine’s older neighborhoods often went decades without professional attention. Our crews have documented photo records from more than 52,000 homes, and a significant share of our Aldine jobs reveal original duct materials that should have been replaced years ago.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We don’t do urgency theatre or coupon pricing. Every Aldine customer receives a written scope, a written price, and a documented photo record of every duct run - deliverables you can review with your partner before deciding, not pressure to sign on the spot.
We’re also transparent about what we can’t fix with cleaning alone. When our camera shows crushed flex duct or flood-compromised fiberglass board, we tell you exactly what needs sealing or replacement and what that costs. No bait-and-switch. Our Free Second Opinion on any written estimate means you can bring a competitor’s quote and we’ll put our number next to it in writing.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Aldine

Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Aldine homes we enter are low-slung ranches built between the 1960s and early 1980s, many with original flex duct or fiberglass duct board running through unconditioned attics. Our residential service starts with a video inspection so you see what we see: debris build-up at elbows, mold at register boots from condensation, or the telltale gray film of dried floodwater silt. We use Rotobrush agitation systems and Nikro negative-pressure extractors to perform source removal - not surface vacuuming - and we photograph every run before and after.

Commercial Duct Cleaning
Aldine’s commercial properties along Aldine Bender and the Eastex Freeway corridor include aging retail strips and light industrial spaces with rooftop package units that have run continuously since installation. We clean supply and return systems for these buildings with the same documentation standard: written price first, photo record after, and equipment from Abatement Technologies and Honeywell sized to the system’s CFM requirements. Our crews coordinate around your operating hours to minimize disruption.

Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts are where Aldine’s flood history shows up most clearly. In the 1970s ranches near Greens Bayou tributaries, we regularly pull return-air grilles to find original fiberglass duct board matted with dried silt and active mold from Hurricane Harvey’s 2017 inundation. This isn’t surface dust - it’s contamination that has been recirculating through the home for years because the flooding was treated as a flooring and drywall problem, not an HVAC problem. Our return duct service includes HEPA-contained negative pressure, agitation to free caked debris, and camera verification before we seal the plenum.

Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Aldine face a different enemy: 150°F attic temperatures for eleven months of the year, degrading flex duct liners and creating condensation at every supply register boot. We clean each supply run individually, inspect for disconnected or crushed sections, and document airflow at each register. When we find a boot that’s been dumping conditioned air into your attic for years, we show you the photo and explain the sealing work needed to fix it.

Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Aldine addresses supply ducts, return ducts, the plenum (the main distribution box connected to your air handler), and the air handler cabinet itself. This is the service we recommend for homes with known flood history or visible mold, because partial cleaning leaves contamination in the system to re-colonize. We use Aprilaire media filtration during the process and can upgrade your filter cabinet to MERV 13 as part of the job.

Video Inspection
Our video inspection service uses a camera-tipped snake to document the interior condition of every duct run. In Aldine, this tool reveals what homeowners can’t see: crushed flex runs behind air handlers, standing water in low-lying return sections, and the difference between surface debris and embedded mold. The footage becomes part of your documented photo record, and we review it with you before quoting any work.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Aldine
We clean and service systems using equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire - brands you can look up independently before we arrive. Our Houston office stocks common replacement parts for Aldine customers, so when a video inspection reveals a crushed flex run or compromised plenum, we can often complete sealing or minor repairs the same visit rather than scheduling a return trip. We don’t invent performance claims beyond manufacturer specifications. The equipment does what it does, and we document what it found.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Aldine Homes

- Original fiberglass duct board saturated with flood silt. In post-Harvey Aldine ranches, we regularly find duct board that was submerged in 2017, dried, and never replaced. The silt embeds in the fiberglass pores and recirculates every time the system cycles. Surface cleaning doesn’t reach it - source removal with agitation and HEPA extraction does.
- Crushed or disconnected flex duct in 150°F attics. Aldine’s position in the Houston Ship Channel humidity corridor means AC systems run virtually year-round, pulling enormous volumes of humid Gulf air through ducts. Attic temperatures degrade flex duct liners until they collapse or separate at joints, dumping conditioned air into unconditioned space and pulling in hot, humid attic air.
- Condensation-driven mold at supply register boots. The combination of 55°F conditioned air and 150°F attic air creates constant condensation at metal register boots. In Aldine’s older homes with deferred maintenance, this mold spreads to surrounding drywall and ceiling texture. A quick vacuum misses it; we remove the boot, clean the surrounding cavity, and seal with mastic.
- Return plenums that never met NADCA standards. Because Aldine was historically unincorporated with fewer required inspections, many homes were built with return plenums that leak, use improper materials, or draw air from garages or crawl spaces. Our video inspection identifies these code gaps, and we quote sealing work to correct them.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Aldine

Because floodwater entered air handlers and low-lying return plenums, and homeowners addressed the visible damage - floors, drywall, cabinets - without realizing the HVAC system had become a primary site for mold colonization. Original fiberglass duct board absorbs and traps silt; once dried, it recirculates spores every time the AC cycles. We’ve found active mold in Aldine ducts seven years after Harvey because no source removal was performed. Call (346) 423-3631 and we’ll show you what’s in your system with a video inspection - estimates are free.
We run a camera through every duct run during our video inspection. In Aldine’s 1960s-1980s ranches, we commonly find flex duct that has degraded in attic heat until it collapses at elbows, or supply runs that separated from the plenum entirely and are dumping conditioned air into the attic. The camera shows the damage in real time, and the footage becomes part of your documented photo record. If we find crushed or disconnected ductwork, we quote sealing or replacement before any repair work begins.
Source removal means physically extracting embedded contamination - dried silt, mold colonies, degraded fiberglass - rather than spraying a surface treatment or running a vacuum over accessible areas. For Aldine’s flood-affected systems, we set up HEPA-contained negative pressure, use mechanical agitation to free caked debris from duct interiors, and extract it at the source. This is the only method that stops recirculation. Surface cleaning leaves the contamination in place to regrow. We document the before and after with photos of every run.
It depends on what the camera shows. Fiberglass duct board that is structurally intact and contains only surface debris can sometimes be cleaned with source removal. But in Aldine’s flood-affected homes, we often find duct board where the fiberglass has delaminated, the binder has failed, or mold has penetrated the porous material. At that point, cleaning is temporary - replacement with sealed metal or properly insulated flex duct is the lasting fix. We show you the camera footage and quote both options in writing before you decide.
Aldine’s position in the Ship Channel humidity corridor means AC systems run longer and harder than in higher-elevation suburbs like The Woodlands, pulling more moisture through the ducts and creating more condensation at boots and plenums. Attic temperatures here are also more extreme, accelerating flex duct degradation. The result: Aldine homes typically need more frequent attention to supply register boots and return plenums, and are more likely to develop mold conditions that a basic cleaning won’t address. Our full system service is designed for this reality. Call (346) 423-3631 to schedule your inspection.
