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
HVAC cleaning in Lakeway typically runs $350-$650 for a complete system, with most jobs scheduled January through March following cedar pollen season. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and our crews work Lakeway homes from original 1970s resort-era builds to new construction in Rough Hollow. Attic temperatures here regularly top 150°F in summer, degrading flex-duct liners and pulling cedar pollen and limestone dust into living spaces through gaps that don’t exist in newer suburban builds. Call (737) 259-5752 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Lakeway Homes Are Different
Lakeway sits in the Ashe juniper belt of the Texas Hill Country, where cedar pollen season from December through February produces microscopic particles that infiltrate return-air grilles and coat ductwork interiors. Post-cedar-season cleaning, January through March, is a distinctly high-demand service here that simply doesn’t exist at this intensity in Austin’s eastern suburbs.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Original 1970s-1980s homes built during Lakeway’s resort-community phase carry flexible ductwork through attics that bake to 150°F each summer. Decades of heat degrade inner liners, creating gaps that pull in limestone dust from the region’s caliche soil. We’ve photographed flex duct in these homes that has sagged to near-total collapse, choked with cedar pollen and alkaline dust. Newer developments like Rough Hollow and Lakeway Highlands feature multi-story custom homes with complex zoned systems that demand more thorough scope work than standard tract-home jobs.
Our Main Lakeway Services
Most Lakeway homeowners call us about these three services, each with its own local page and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lakeway
We clean the full supply and return network in Lakeway homes, from original 1970s flex-duct runs to modern zoned systems. Every job starts with a camera inspection showing cedar pollen buildup, limestone dust, or collapsed sections, followed by negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush equipment and a documented photo record of every run before we leave. Air Duct Cleaning in Lakeway covers full pricing and scope.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lakeway
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is accelerated in Lakeway by the same dry, windy stretches that carry caliche dust into HVAC systems. We clear the full vent run from appliance to termination, photograph the obstruction, and verify airflow with a meter reading. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lakeway has full details.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Lakeway
Collapsed flex duct, separated joints from thermal cycling, and gaps pulling 150°F attic air into conditioned space are routine findings in Lakeway’s older homes. We repair or replace damaged sections and seal the full network with mastic and metal tape, then pressure-test to verify. Duct Repair & Sealing in Lakeway explains our scope.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Lakeway
HVAC cleaning in Lakeway addresses what cedar pollen season and extreme attic heat leave behind: evaporator coils coated with microscopic pollen particles that restrict airflow and raise energy bills, and blower assemblies choked with limestone dust that strains motors in systems already working against degraded ductwork. We document every component with before-and-after photos, and every job is quoted with a written price before a single panel comes off. For the full scope of HVAC Cleaning across all system types, see our service hub.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that can’t keep up during Lakeway’s 100°F summer afternoons.
What it costs in Lakeway
Evaporator coil cleaning in Lakeway typically runs $180-$320.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum (the main air distribution box), apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the fin surface before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Unusual motor noise, vibration, or dust puffing from registers when the system cycles on after a windy caliche-dust period.
What it costs in Lakeway
Blower assembly cleaning in Lakeway typically runs $150-$280.
How we do it
We remove the blower housing, clean the squirrel cage and motor housing with compressed air and contact cleaner, balance the assembly, and document with photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Lakeway
| Item | Typical range in Lakeway |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Condenser coil cleaning | $120-$220 |
How do I know my HVAC system needs cleaning versus just a filter change?
If new filters clog within two weeks during cedar season, or if dust reappears on registers within days of cleaning, the internal components are shedding accumulated debris into airflow. Call (737) 259-5752 and we’ll inspect with a camera to show you exactly what’s inside.
Can HVAC cleaning reduce my summer electric bills in Lakeway?
Yes, a clean evaporator coil and blower can improve system efficiency 10-15%, significant when your unit runs 12+ hours daily through Hill Country summers. We measure static pressure before and after to document the improvement.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Lakeway
Air quality and sanitizing in Lakeway targets what survives standard cleaning: mold colonies in damp evaporator plenums fed by pollen-laden dust, and bacteria thriving in the organic debris that accumulates in original 1970s ductwork. Cedar pollen’s microscopic particles create a substrate for microbial growth that standard vacuum extraction won’t address. For the full scope of Air Quality & Sanitizing, including equipment specifications, see our service hub.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system cycles, visible growth on register grilles, or allergy symptoms that persist outside cedar season.
What it costs in Lakeway
Mold treatment for a typical Lakeway system runs $400-$750.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct network, treat the evaporator plenum with foiling agent, and collect post-treatment swab samples for documentation.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after treatment, or a system in a shaded, humid microclimate common on Lakeway’s wooded lots.
What it costs in Lakeway
UV-C light installation in Lakeway typically runs $350-$600 per unit.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Lakeway
| Item | Typical range in Lakeway |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $400-$750 |
| UV-C light installation | $350-$600 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $300-$550 |
Is mold in Lakeway ducts really a problem, or just a sales tactic?
We’ve photographed active mold in Lakeway homes where cedar pollen debris provided the organic base; it’s real, localized, and verifiable. We show you the image before recommending treatment.
Will UV lights actually prevent mold from coming back?
UV-C at proper irradiance kills airborne mold spores before they colonize the coil; we size the unit to your system CFM and verify output with a radiometer, not guesswork.
