Air Duct Cleaning Company in Alamo, TX
Air duct repair in Alamo is rarely a simple patch job. In the colonia and infill neighborhoods that run along FM 495 and Expressway 83, duct systems were often pieced together after the fact – flex runs added room by room, joints sealed with tape in attics that stay hot and humid most of the year. When a room never cools right, the cause is frequently crushed or disconnected ductwork rather than a tired air conditioner, and no amount of cleaning fixes a duct that has come apart. We work with Rotobrush contact cleaning and Nikro extraction to find and correct those problems at the source. Call (888) 971-5813 for a free estimate.
Why Alamo Homes Are Different
The housing stock in Alamo shapes every duct job we look at. Much of the city is single-story ranch and manufactured homes from the 1980s through the 2000s, but a large share of the older housing was self-built or contractor-built infill on small lots. That means the ductwork was not designed as a system. It grew.
A family adds a bedroom, then a second one, and each addition gets its own flex run tapped into whatever trunk line is nearby. The result is a network of mismatched flex sections and taped joints running through unconditioned attic space. In a subtropical climate with a long cooling season and high indoor humidity, those attic ducts stay warm and damp, which encourages condensation and biological growth inside the liner. That is why so many calls here are about musty smells and rooms that never quite cool rather than visible dust.
ZIP code 78516 covers most of Alamo, and the pattern is consistent across it: an air-balance problem disguised as a dirty-duct call. We start by diagnosing the layout, not by hooking up a vacuum.

Our Main Alamo Services
Two jobs account for most of what Alamo homeowners ask us about: getting the whole duct system genuinely clean, and reducing the fire risk sitting behind the dryer.
Air Duct Cleaning in Alamo
Cleaning a duct system in Alamo starts with understanding what was built. We map the runs, check the returns, and look for the improvised connections common in colonia-era and infill housing before any equipment goes in. Rotobrush contact cleaning scrubs the duct walls mechanically, and Nikro extraction pulls the loosened material out under high vacuum. Throughout the job we run Abatement Technologies filtration so the cleaning process does not push dust back into the living space. For a system this irregular, that containment step matters. See Air Duct Cleaning in Alamo for the full process.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alamo
A clogged dryer vent is a fire risk, not a housekeeping issue, and we treat it that way. Lint packs into the long, sometimes poorly routed vent runs found in Alamo’s older single-story homes, and the dryer has to work harder to push moist air outside. We clear the full length of the run, check the exterior termination, and confirm airflow at the end. If the vent transitions through an attic or a tight wall cavity, we inspect that section too. More detail lives on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alamo page.
Air Duct Repair in Alamo
Air duct repair in Alamo usually begins with a complaint about a room that never cools. The housing here tells you why: much of the ductwork was added onto over decades, in attics that stay warm and damp through a long subtropical cooling season. Mismatched flex sections, tape that has dried out, joints pulled apart by heat and settling – these are the ordinary conditions of the job, and they are the reason a duct system can look clean and still fail to deliver air where it is needed. Repair, not another cleaning, is what restores balance. Our technicians have up to 12 years of experience reading these improvised layouts. Read more about Air Duct Repair and what the work covers.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
You need ductwork repair when a room runs noticeably warmer than the rest of the house, when you can hear air moving inside a wall or attic, or when a flex run has visibly collapsed or come loose at its collar.
What it costs in Alamo
Ductwork repair in Alamo typically runs $180 to $650, depending on how many joints, sections and connections have to be rebuilt.
How we do it
We locate the failed section with airflow readings and a visual inspection of the attic runs, then reseal, re-support or reconnect the duct and verify static pressure at the registers afterward.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Replacement makes more sense than repair when the flex liner is torn through, coated with biological growth that will not come clean, or so patched together that rebuilding whole runs costs less than chasing individual failures.
What it costs in Alamo
Air duct replacement in Alamo typically runs $1,200 to $3,800 for the affected runs, with the written estimate setting the final figure.
How we do it
We remove the failed runs, size the replacements to the actual room load rather than the old improvised layout, seal every joint, and rebalance the system before we leave.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Alamo
| Item | Typical range in Alamo |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (resealing, reconnecting, re-supporting runs) | $180 – $650 |
| Air duct replacement (affected runs) | $1,200 – $3,800 |
| Full duct system repair and rebalance | $2,400 – $5,600 |
Can you repair ductwork in an attic that was added onto over time?
Yes. Improvised add-on ductwork in Alamo is the normal case, not the exception. We map what exists, identify which runs are actually serving which rooms, and rebuild the connections so the system delivers air the way it was meant to. The written estimate covers the whole scope before work starts.
Do crushed flex ducts really cause rooms that never cool?
Often, yes. A crushed or disconnected flex run in a hot attic restricts airflow to the room it serves, so the thermostat reads fine while that room stays warm. Repairing the run and rebalancing the system usually resolves it. Call (888) 971-5813 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Brands We Service in Alamo
Our work touches the air quality equipment in the system as well as the ducts. We understand Honeywell and Aprilaire controls and components, and we deploy Abatement Technologies filtration during cleaning so the process protects the space it serves. We don’t claim stocked parts; we assess what’s there and source what’s needed. Turnaround depends on the part. See our brands for the equipment we work with.

Prices in Alamo climb with how much of the system was improvised. Long attic runs, multiple additions, and disconnected joints all add labor, and a manufactured home with tight under-floor access can take longer than a ranch house with a clean attic layout. We set one flat price per system after the assessment and put it in writing before any work begins, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.

What Alamo Customers Say
"Job was done well and the house smells better. There was some dust knocked loose around a couple of the registers that I had to wipe down afterward."
- Karen Yang"Two guys, about three hours, plastic down at every register, and they wiped the vent covers before putting them back."
- Oscar Flores"Quoted per system rather than the bait and switch per vent pricing everybody else in town uses. The number I was told on the phone was the number on the invoice."
