Air Vent Cleaning in Houston, TX

What air vent cleaning actually involves in Houston homes
Waiting has a real cost here. A disconnected boot above a ceiling register dumps cooled air straight into a 130-degree attic, and you pay for that every month until someone crawls up and finds it. Wet supply plenums grow biological film. Rodents get into attic runs through soffit gaps and leave droppings in the flex. None of that improves on its own. Vent cleaning that skips the inspection half is just noise.
The job changes with the duct type. Pre-1970 Heights and Garden Oaks homes often still have rigid galvanized trunk-and-branch, which takes brushing well. Fiberglass duct board plenums from the 1960s through the 80s do not. Aggressive brushing erodes that liner and sheds fiber into the airstream. Those get gentle contact vacuuming, or they get replaced. R-6 and R-8 flex from the 1990s on is cleanable, but sagging between trusses creates low spots that refill with dust and condensate.
Return side matters more than supply. Leaky returns pull attic dust and insulation fiber directly into the air handler. Clean ducts feeding a fouled coil accomplish little.
Check your own registers first. Pull one grille. Gray felt on the inner duct wall means the return is leaking somewhere.
