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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Selma
Air duct cleaning in Selma, TX typically costs $280-$520 for a complete residential system and is performed as a scheduled appointment with a written price agreed before any work begins. Our crews serve Selma directly from our San Antonio office, covering the full I-35 corridor from Retama Springs to the newer phases along Lookout Road. If you’re in a post-2000 production build - which describes nearly every home here - the debris we find is usually construction leftovers, not household dust from decades of living.
We’re familiar with Selma’s compressed build cycles and the flex-duct layouts standard to D.R. Horton, Lennar, and Pulte homes in this market. That local knowledge changes what we look for and how we quote the job. Call (830) 549-6847 for a free written estimate.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Selma
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Selma homes were built between 2005 and 2015 with attic-routed flexible ductwork - the standard for Texas volume construction. Our Air Duct Cleaning team performs source removal with agitation tools under negative-pressure extraction, which means we dislodge debris and immediately suck it out of the system rather than pushing it deeper. For Selma’s new-construction debris profile, this matters: drywall dust and blown-in insulation fibers don’t respond to surface vacuuming. A typical residential system in Selma runs $280-$420.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Selma’s commercial growth along I-35 and Loop 1604 includes retail, medical offices, and multi-tenant buildings with rooftop units and hard-pipe trunk lines. We size equipment to the system - Nikro and Abatement Technologies negative-air machines for larger volumes - and deliver the same documented photo record, written scope, and written price before work begins. Commercial pricing in Selma typically starts at $480 for small systems and scales with square footage and access complexity.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Selma tract homes, we regularly find supply runs choked at elbows where flex duct was kinked during fast-paced installation - a debris dam that also starves back rooms of airflow. We photograph every supply run before and after, re-support any sagging or kinked sections, and document the improvement in airflow distribution. Supply-only cleaning in Selma ranges from $180-$320.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler. They’re the system’s intake, and in Selma they collect what the filters miss: cedar pollen during December through February, caliche dust year-round, and construction debris still shedding from new-build interiors. Skipping returns is common in cut-rate work. We don’t. Return duct cleaning in Selma typically adds $120-$180 to a full-system quote.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Selma Homes
- New-build contamination sealed in at handover. Selma’s post-2000 housing stock routinely contains drywall dust, blown-in insulation fibers, and caliche soil particles left inside flex duct systems during compressed construction schedules. Homeowners notice it as persistent dust on registers or reduced airflow within the first two years of ownership.
- Kinked or unsupported attic flex acting as debris dams. Production builders in Selma’s boom cycles often left flex duct draped over trusses or compressed against framing. The kink traps debris and restricts airflow enough that back bedrooms stay warmer than the thermostat reading. HVAC companies misdiagnose this as an equipment problem.
- Cedar pollen loading during December through February. Selma sits in the Ashe juniper belt. When mountain cedar releases pollen, outdoor air intakes draw massive allergen loads into duct systems. By March, we find pollen residue layered on duct walls that standard filters never captured.
- Return-side neglect in cut-rate cleanings. Cheap quotes often clean only visible registers and ignore return trunks. In Selma homes, returns feed the air handler and blower motor; debris there circulates back through the entire system and accelerates equipment wear.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Selma, TX
A typical full-system residential duct cleaning in Selma runs $280-$520. Here’s how that breaks down:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full residential system cleaning (supply + return, up to 12 runs) | $280-$420 |
| Post-construction / heavy debris removal | $350-$520 |
| Supply duct cleaning only | $180-$320 |
| Return duct cleaning only | $120-$220 |
| Video inspection with documented photo record | $85-$150 (waived with booked cleaning) |
What moves the price: number of duct runs, accessibility of attic or crawl space, debris type (drywall dust requires more agitation time than household dust), and whether kinked flex needs re-support. We deliver a written price before any work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1 - and that price is flat per system, never per-vent. No $79 coupon that becomes a $600 invoice once the truck is in your driveway.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Selma
Because construction debris was sealed inside before you moved in. Selma’s post-2000 production builds were completed on compressed schedules, and flex duct installed during drywall and insulation phases routinely traps drywall dust, blown-in fiberglass, and caliche grit. The builder’s rough clean does not include duct interior cleaning. We find this contamination in Selma homes from Retama Springs to the newest Evans Road phases, often within the first 18 months of occupancy. Call (830) 549-6847 for a free estimate - we’ll show you what’s inside before quoting any work.
Uneven cooling between rooms is the most common signal. If your back bedrooms run 4-6 degrees warmer than the front of the house and your HVAC contractor has already suggested equipment replacement, the problem is likely duct layout, not the compressor. Our video inspection shows kinks, sags, and debris dams in real time. In Selma’s tract-home inventory, we estimate 30-40% of attic flex runs have some form of installation defect. The inspection is $85-$150, waived if you book a cleaning.
Yes, measurably. Selma sits in the Ashe juniper belt, and mountain cedar pollen from late November through February is among the most intense allergen events in North America. HVAC systems draw outdoor air through intake pathways; pollen loads that bypass the filter coat duct walls and recirculate when disturbed. We find distinct pollen layers in Selma duct inspections every March. A proper cleaning with HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extraction removes this residue rather than redistributing it.
Source removal under controlled negative pressure, with agitation tools that dislodge debris and immediate extraction that removes it from the building. The NADCA ACR standard defines the technical protocol; our H.A.V.E.N. Standard adds written pricing, verified crews, and documented photo records. In Selma specifically, “proper” also means inspecting attic flex for kinks and re-supporting any damaged runs - not just vacuuming registers. Every CleanRun job concludes with a deliverable: before-and-after photos of every duct run, a written scope of work, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Both. Selma’s commercial corridor along I-35 and Loop 1604 includes retail, dental and medical offices, and light industrial spaces with rooftop units and hard-pipe distribution. We scale equipment to the system - Nikro and Abatement Technologies machines for larger volumes - and apply the same H.A.V.E.N. Standard: written price first, documented photo record on completion, 365-Day Done Right Promise. Commercial quotes in Selma start at $480. Call (830) 549-6847 to schedule a walk-through.
