What that means for ducts
New-build ductwork
Roughly 61% of Leander's homes were built since 2010. New does not mean clean: the commonest thing we pull out of a five-year-old system is the construction phase itself — drywall fines, sawdust, insulation fiber — plus builder-grade flex that was kinked or crushed on the day and has been throttling that run ever since. Photographs matter more here, not less.
That is a reading of the city’s stock, not a diagnosis of your home. Which of it applies to you is exactly what the camera settles — and why we would rather run one than quote from a postcode.
02Working in Leander
The part that changes from street to street.
Leander has the newest housing stock of anywhere we cover. The majority of homes here were finished within the last fifteen years, and that changes our answer to 'not yet' far more often than to 'yes.' A duct system that has run a decade in a house that was clean when it was built rarely holds anything worth removing. What these houses do have is production-build airflow. Flex runs get pulled long, kinked at a truss or crushed against framing, usually at the far end of the plan, and the back bedrooms never cool the way the front of the house does. Homeowners read that as dirty ducts. It is not. It is a duct that was never installed to move the air it was supposed to. There is genuinely useful work in a new Leander home, verifying the builder cleared the boots, sizing the return to the blower, getting the filter right, but a cleaning is usually not it.

03Mold Assessment & Referral — in this stock
What a camera finds in new-build stock.
New construction inspections turn up a specific short list: crushed or kinked flex from the install day, boots that were never sealed to the drywall, and a system still loaded with build debris. None of it is visible from a register, all of it is cheap to fix early, and a fair number of these inspections end with "leave it, re-check in a few years" — which is a legitimate outcome we would rather sell you than a cleaning you do not need.
Ask us anything about this on the phone — a person answers during opening hours.

05Questions
Asked in Leander, answered straight.
Our Leander house is six years old. Do we need duct cleaning?
Almost certainly not yet. Most housing here went up within the last fifteen years and systems that new are clean from use. If the registers look clean and airflow is even from room to room, we will tell you to wait and have it checked again in a few years.
Then why do our back bedrooms never cool down properly?
That is the most common Leander finding, and it is not dirt. Production-built flex runs get pulled over-length, kinked at a truss or crushed against framing at the far end of the plan. It presents exactly like a dirty-duct problem and it is actually an airflow problem with a completely different fix.
Is there anything worth doing on a house this new?
Yes, three things. Verify the builder cleared construction debris from the boots, confirm the return is large enough for the blower that was installed, and get the filter sized and seated correctly. Those do more for air quality in a new Leander home than any cleaning we could sell you.
