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.

Why Bellaire Homes Are Different
Bellaire’s teardown cycle creates a ductwork split unlike anywhere else in Houston. On the same block, you’ll find a 1962 ranch with original flex duct crumbling in a 150°F attic and a 2023 rebuild with six-zone climate control that shipped drywall dust through every register before the owners unpacked. Both need cleaning, but for opposite reasons.
The older stock sits on 50×150-foot lots with ductwork that has never been opened. Decades of skin cells, cooking grease, and pollen have compressed into a mat inside the plenum. The new builds have tight, complex systems that were never flushed after construction, so fine particulate still circulates through Honeywell and Aprilaire components.
Then there’s the climate. Bellaire attics hit 140-160°F in July, which degrades flex duct insulation and causes adhesive failure at seams. Gulf moisture enters through those gaps. And for homes near Brays Bayou that took on Harvey floodwater in 2017, mold spores migrated up wall cavities into attic duct runs. We’ve opened systems where the contamination wasn’t visible until the camera went in.
Our Main Bellaire Services
Most Bellaire calls fall into three categories. Here’s what each involves locally.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bellaire
We clean the full duct network, from return plenum to supply registers, using negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush contact agitation. In Bellaire’s older ranches, we often find the first elbow packed with debris that has never been disturbed. In rebuilds, we focus on construction particulate that bypassed the builder’s rough cleanup. Every run is photographed. Air Duct Cleaning in Bellaire
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bellaire
Bellaire’s compact lots mean dryers often vent through long, twisting runs to side walls, and lint accumulates at every turn. We use Nikro rotary tools to clear the full line and verify airflow with a manometer. Long vent runs are common in both the original ranches and the multi-story rebuilds.

Duct Repair & Sealing in Bellaire
Attic heat in Bellaire destroys duct tape and cracks flex duct seams. We replace damaged sections, seal joints with mastic, and test static pressure before and after. Harvey moisture damage shows up years later as collapsed insulation inside flex runs. Duct Repair & Sealing in Bellaire

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Bellaire
HVAC cleaning in Bellaire addresses the two realities of local housing: original systems that have never been opened and new multi-zone equipment contaminated during construction. We clean the components the ductwork connects to, the evaporator coil, blower assembly, condenser, and air handler, using equipment from Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies. Every component is photographed before and after, and the written scope is delivered before we start. HVAC Cleaning
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty smell when the AC cycles on in July.
What it costs in Bellaire
Evaporator coil cleaning in Bellaire typically runs $180-$320.
How we do it
We remove the access panel, apply foaming cleaner to the fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil face before reassembly.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven airflow between rooms, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Bellaire
Blower assembly cleaning in Bellaire typically runs $150-$280.
How we do it
We pull the blower wheel, clean blades and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and verify amp draw on reinstallation.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Bellaire
| Item | Typical range in Bellaire |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Condenser coil cleaning | $120-$220 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning, not just my ducts?
If your ducts are clean but rooms still heat unevenly, or the system runs longer than it used to, the coil or blower is likely fouled. We inspect both with a camera before recommending scope. Call (346) 253-1822 for a free estimate.
Can HVAC cleaning fix mold smells after Harvey flooding?
Cleaning removes mold from accessible components, but if flex duct insulation is saturated, replacement is the only permanent fix. We photograph the damage and show you before quoting either path.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Bellaire
Air quality work in Bellaire targets the moisture problems that Gulf heat and Harvey flooding left behind. We treat mold in duct runs, sanitize bacteria on coils and plenums, and install UV lights and Aprilaire air purifiers to prevent recurrence. Every treatment is photographed, and the written scope specifies which products we apply where. Air Quality & Sanitizing
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor from registers, visible black growth on vent covers, or respiratory symptoms that worsen when the system runs.
What it costs in Bellaire
Whole-system mold treatment in Bellaire typically runs $450-$850.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial to all interior duct surfaces, treat the evaporator coil and plenum, and run a post-treatment air sample.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence after professional cleaning, or a home near Brays Bayou with chronic moisture infiltration.
What it costs in Bellaire
UV-C light installation in Bellaire typically runs $280-$480 per unit.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Guardsman UV lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Bellaire
| Item | Typical range in Bellaire |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $450-$850 |
| UV-C light installation | $280-$480 |
| Air purifier install (whole-house) | $600-$1,200 |
Is mold treatment safe for kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products rated for occupied spaces, ventilate thoroughly after application, and document dwell time and clearance in your job record. Call (346) 253-1822 to review the product sheet before booking.
Will UV lights actually prevent mold in Bellaire’s humidity?
UV-C kills spores that pass the lamp but does not remove existing growth; we install it after cleaning, not instead of it, and specify which brand and wattage in writing.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Bellaire
No permit is required for residential duct cleaning in Bellaire. If we find damage requiring duct replacement or modification, we note it in your written scope and advise if a permit applies to that specific repair.
We coordinate access through lockboxes, garage codes, or property managers, and text you the technician’s name and photo before arrival. Your photo record and written invoice are delivered electronically by end of day.
Cleaning removes accumulated pollen from duct walls, but it does not seal the system against new infiltration. We inspect return pathways and note any gaps where outdoor air enters; sealing those is a separate scope we quote in writing if needed.
