NADCA-Certified Air Duct Cleaning in Corsicana, TX
The air inside your home can hold 2 to 5 times more of some pollutants than the air outside, according to the EPA. Every time your system runs, it pulls dust, pet dander, pollen, and microbes through your ducts and back into the rooms where your family breathes. Area Wide Services removes it at the source, with NADCA-certified specialists, professional-grade equipment, and an antimicrobial treatment included in every complete cleaning.
By the numbers
What's really moving through your ducts
Indoor levels of some common pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than outdoors.
EPAof the average American's time is spent indoors, breathing that air.

Area Wide Services is a member of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), the industry's governing body that sets the standards for how HVAC systems should be inspected, cleaned, and restored. Our work follows ACR, The NADCA Standard for Assessment, Cleaning & Restoration of HVAC Systems.

Is it time?
Signs your ducts need cleaning
- Visible dust around vents, or dust that settles again within a day of cleaning
- Musty or stale odors when the system kicks on
- Allergy or asthma symptoms that ease when you leave the house
- Visible mold on vents or inside the ductwork
- Signs of rodents or insects in or around the ducts
- A recent remodel that sent drywall dust and debris into the system
- A home you just bought with an unknown maintenance history
The EPA specifically names visible mold, vermin, and dust or debris heavy enough to clog ducts or blow out of registers as reasons to have ducts cleaned. (EPA)
Certified mold remediation
Mold in your ducts is a bigger problem than dust
Humid Texas air and condensation inside an HVAC system make ductwork an easy place for mold to grow. Every time the system runs, it can carry spores and that musty smell into every room. A standard cleaning doesn't fix it. Our team is NADCA certified in ventilation system mold remediation, training not every duct cleaning company has.
Signs to watch for
- A musty or mildew smell when the AC or heat kicks on
- Dark spots or growth on vents, registers, or the ceiling around them
- Allergy symptoms that feel worse when the system is running
- A past water leak, clogged drain line, or sweating air handler
How we handle it
- Inspect the system and find where the mold is growing
- Remove it with contained, negative-pressure equipment
- Treat the ductwork with DECON 7 antimicrobial
- Point out the moisture source so it doesn't come back
Our process
What a NADCA-standard cleaning looks like
- 1
Inspect
We check every supply and return line and your equipment before we start, and show you what we find.
- 2
Protect your home
We seal off the system and set up negative-pressure collection so dust is pulled out, not pushed into your rooms.
- 3
Vacuum and brush
Rotary brushes loosen buildup along the full length of each line while the vacuum captures it.
- 4
Restore the registers
Vents and returns are removed, cleaned, and reconditioned, or replaced if they can't be.
- 5
Treat
DECON 7 bactericide, fungicide, and deodorizer is fogged through the entire duct system.
- 6
Haul it away
All debris is removed from your property and disposed of off-site.
- 7
Walk through
We show you before-and-after results and inspect your dryer vent before we leave.

FAQ
Duct cleaning questions
How much does duct cleaning cost in Corsicana?
Complete duct cleaning for a home with one AC system starts at $1,150 and includes up to 10 vents, one return, an antimicrobial treatment, off-site debris removal, and a dryer vent inspection. Each additional system starts at $900. Your exact price is confirmed in writing during a free in-home estimate.
Why does professional duct cleaning cost more than the coupons I see?
Low-priced mailers often cover only a few vents or a surface vacuum, with the real cost added once the crew is inside. Our starting price covers the whole system to NADCA standards, includes DECON 7 antimicrobial treatment and register reconditioning, and is performed by NADCA-certified specialists. You know the full price before we start.
Are you NADCA certified?
Yes. Area Wide Services is a NADCA member and holds the Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS #12775326) and Ventilation System Mold Remediator (VSMR #12775326) certifications. We follow ACR, The NADCA Standard for cleaning and restoring HVAC systems. Ask any duct cleaner for their certification numbers before you book.
What is DECON 7?
DECON 7 is a bactericide, fungicide, and deodorizer that we fog through the entire duct system after cleaning. It treats bacteria, mold, and odors that brushing alone can't reach. It's included in every Complete Duct Cleaning package.
What's the video camera inspection?
For $300, we probe your ductwork with a small video camera from both the registers and the plenum, then email you every photo and video. It's the best way to see what's in your system before deciding on a cleaning or repair.
How long does duct cleaning take?
Most residential jobs take 2–4 hours depending on the size of your home and number of systems. We'll give you a time estimate when we quote the job.
How often should I have my ducts cleaned?
Every 3–5 years for most homes. Homes with pets, allergies, smokers, recent renovations, or visible dust buildup benefit from more frequent service.
How do I prepare my home for duct cleaning?
Clear access to every vent, return, and your indoor unit, and move fragile items away from ceiling vents. Plan for the system to be off for 2–4 hours. Let us know about recent remodels, leaks, or odors so we can check those spots first.
Will duct cleaning make a mess in my home?
No. Negative-pressure equipment keeps debris inside the vacuum system, and all debris is hauled away and disposed of off-site.
What's the difference between duct cleaning and duct sealing?
Cleaning removes dust and debris from inside the ducts. Sealing closes the leaks, holes, and loose joints that let conditioned air escape. ENERGY STAR estimates a typical home loses 20–30% of duct airflow to leaks, so we check both during every inspection.
Can duct cleaning remove mold?
Cleaning and our DECON 7 treatment address mold on hard sheet-metal ducts, but the moisture source must also be fixed so it doesn't come back. Insulated or lined ducts that get wet or moldy usually need replacement. Our VSMR certification covers exactly these jobs.
