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 West University Place, TX
HVAC cleaning in West University Place typically runs $380-$620 for a complete system, while air quality and sanitizing services range from $220-$490 depending on the method. We’re CleanRun, and we dispatch crews to West University Place from our Houston office to handle the specific problems this city’s housing stock creates: construction debris in new custom builds and decades of humidity damage in surviving mid-century homes. Call (346) 423-3631 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why West University Place Homes Are Different
West University Place sits on roughly 2.7 square miles near Brays Bayou, where outdoor relative humidity regularly exceeds 85% and air conditioners run eight or more months each year. That near-continuous cooling load forces supply ducts to cycle between cold conditioned air and humid attic-adjacent environments, creating condensation points where mold colonizes quickly after any seal failure.
The housing stock splits sharply. Surviving 1930s-1960s bungalows retain original or once-updated flex duct in unconditioned attics where Houston summer temperatures exceed 130°F, accelerating material degradation. Meanwhile, post-teardown custom homes often measure 3,500-5,000 square feet and were occupied within weeks of final inspection, meaning drywall dust, spray-foam overspray, and insulation fragments remain packed in supply boots and trunk lines from day one. Two distinct eras, two distinct contamination patterns, both requiring different inspection approaches.
Our Main West University Place Services
West University Place homeowners most often call us for these three services:
Air Duct Cleaning in West University Place
We clean the full duct network: trunk lines, branch runs, and supply/return boots using negative-pressure extraction (a sealed vacuum system that pulls debris out without releasing it into the home). In West University Place, we adjust our approach based on home era - construction-debris removal for new custom builds, brittle-duct assessment for mid-century systems. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record of every run. Air Duct Cleaning in West University Place
Dryer Vent Cleaning in West University Place
Dryer vent blockages reduce efficiency and create fire risk, especially in larger post-teardown homes where vent runs often exceed 25 feet through multiple elbows. We remove lint buildup from the dryer connection through the exterior termination, then verify airflow with a meter. The work is photographed before and after, with results documented in writing.

Duct Repair & Sealing in West University Place
Failed seals and degraded flex duct in older West U attics leak conditioned air into unconditioned spaces, while new builds sometimes suffer from incomplete sealing at the plenum (the central distribution box). We locate leaks with pressure testing, seal accessible joints with mastic or metal-backed tape, and replace damaged sections. All scope and pricing is written before work begins.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in West University Place
HVAC cleaning in West University Place addresses the accelerated contamination this climate and housing stock produce: Gulf Coast humidity breeds microbial growth on coils and in drain pans, while construction debris in new builds circulates through the air handler, and decades of dust accumulation in older systems restricts airflow across critical components. Our crews use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to clean these components without dispersing debris into the living space, and every step is photographed for the Documented Photo Record included with every visit. For a broader overview of our methods, see HVAC Cleaning.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, reduced airflow from registers, or musty odors when the system cycles on in humid months.
What it costs in West University Place
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 in West University Place.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water capture, and photograph the before and after condition through the access panel.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Uneven airflow between rooms, humming or vibration from the air handler, or dust streaking visible at register edges.
What it costs in West University Place
Blower cleaning and balancing typically runs $160-$290 in West University Place.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the squirrel cage and motor housing with compressed air and contact cleaner, verify amp draw against manufacturer spec, and document reassembly torque settings in the job record.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in West University Place
| Item | Typical range in West University Place |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $160-$290 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil, blower, cabinet) | $380-$620 |
How do I know my HVAC system was actually cleaned?
Our Documented Photo Record shows the condition of each component before and after, with timestamps, and is delivered as a standard part of every job record - not available upon request, but included automatically. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires written pricing before work starts; Clause 7 requires photographic verification of completed scope. Call (346) 423-3631 to schedule.
Why does my new West U home already smell musty?
Post-teardown custom homes in West University Place often have construction debris in the duct system that traps moisture from the humid Gulf Coast air, creating microbial growth before the first anniversary of occupancy. HVAC cleaning removes this debris and treats affected components.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in West University Place
Air quality and sanitizing in West University Place targets the microbial load that Houston’s 85%+ relative humidity deposits in duct systems, particularly where post-teardown construction debris provides organic material for mold colonization, and where aging mid-century duct seals have failed, allowing attic moisture to infiltrate supply runs. We apply EPA-registered treatments and install preventive hardware, with all methods documented in writing and photographed before and after. See Air Quality & Sanitizing for equipment specifications.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible growth at register edges, persistent musty odor when the system runs, or recent water intrusion in the attic or plenum area.
What it costs in West University Place
Whole-system mold treatment typically runs $290-$490 in West University Place.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered fungistatic agent to all interior duct surfaces using mechanical fogging equipment, verify coverage with UV fluorescence, and provide laboratory-capable sampling documentation if requested.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence after cleaning, family members with humidity-exacerbated respiratory symptoms, or a system located in a damp crawlspace or basement.
What it costs in West University Place
UV-C lamp installation at the coil or supply plenum typically runs $220-$380 in West University Place.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C fixture at the coil face or plenum entry, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify irradiance at specified distance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in West University Place
| Item | Typical range in West University Place |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $290-$490 |
| UV light installation | $220-$380 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (fogging treatment) | $180-$320 |
Is the sanitizing chemical safe for children and pets?
We use EPA-registered products applied according to manufacturer dwell-time specifications, with re-entry times provided in writing; the treated system is flushed with clean air before occupants return. Call (346) 423-3631 for product-specific SDS documentation.
How long does mold treatment take to work?
Active growth is arrested immediately upon proper application; visible staining may remain as a cosmetic issue requiring physical removal, which we document photographically and address in the written scope before work begins.
