Camera Duct Inspection & Air-Quality Assessment in Alamo Heights, TX
A borescope camera goes into your supply and return runs and shows you exactly what's there: dust load, debris, moisture staining, suspect growth, crushed or disconnected runs leaking attic air into the system. We weigh what we see against EPA's published guidance — visible mold, vermin, or significant buildup — and give you a straight recommendation: clean now, clean these runs only, or don't clean at all. Either way you leave with photos, a written condition report, and a baseline to compare against in a few years. It's the honest starting point for every other service we offer. Serving Alamo Heights (1 ZIP codes, 8k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.
Camera Duct Inspection & Air-Quality Assessment in Alamo Heights
A duct inspection puts a camera where opinions usually go. We scope the supply and return runs, both plenums, and the filter arrangement, photographing dust depth, moisture staining, suspect microbial growth, crushed or torn flex duct, and connections that have pulled loose and are drawing attic air into the system. Findings are weighed against EPA's published guidance — cleaning earns a recommendation only when there's visible mold, vermin, or significant buildup. You get the photo set, a written condition report, and one of three honest verdicts: clean now, clean specific runs, or leave it alone and re-check in a couple of years.
Local dossier · Alamo Heights, TX
Most of what stands inside the Alamo Heights city limits predates the era when central air was designed into a house rather than added to it. On these 78209 streets, Spanish Colonial, Tudor revival and 1920s bungalow stock, the ductwork was threaded in later: through attics that were never meant to be conditioned, through pier-and-beam crawl spaces, around plaster walls that left no room for a chase. What you have is a retrofit, sometimes the second or third one, and no two houses on the same block took the same path. So we map the system before we clean it. Heating here is split roughly down the middle between gas furnaces and electric equipment, which means neighbors can have genuinely different dust and humidity behavior. And the live oak canopy that makes these streets what they are loads returns hard from late December through March. Sometimes the honest answer is better filtration, not a cleaning.

Camera Duct Inspection & Air-Quality Assessment in Alamo Heights — FAQ
Is the $99 inspection just a setup for selling me a cleaning?
No — it's priced to stand on its own, and a meaningful share of inspections end with 'not yet.' You get photos, a written report, and a verdict measured against EPA's conditions. Plenty of customers use it to evaluate another company's quote, which we consider a perfectly good outcome.
What does the camera actually show?
Dust depth, debris, moisture staining, growth-suspect areas, torn liner, and crushed or disconnected runs — through every accessible supply and return plus both plenums. You watch the screen live as we go, so by the time the report arrives, you've already seen everything in it yourself.
Our Alamo Heights house sits on pier-and-beam. Do ducts under the floor need different attention than attic runs?
Yes. Crawl-space trunks live in unconditioned, humid air, and older under-floor insulation absorbs moisture instead of shedding it. We look for sagging supports, rodent entry at the perimeter and torn liner before quoting anything. In a lot of these 78209 houses the finding turns out to be a repair rather than a cleaning.
Will duct cleaning help with the live oak pollen that coats everything here each spring?
Only partly, and we would rather you knew that up front. Oak pollen mostly enters through doors, windows and envelope leaks, then gets recirculated. Cleaning removes what has already settled inside the system; it does not stop next week's load. A properly sized, well-sealed return filter does considerably more for you.
The house dates to the 1930s and the ducts have never been cleaned. Is that a problem by itself?
Age alone is not a reason. EPA has never shown that routine cleaning prevents illness. What we actually find in Alamo Heights retrofits is more often mechanical: a run disconnected above a plaster ceiling, a crushed elbow, a boot that lost its seal decades ago. That is worth fixing on its own merits.
