Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. Is Hornsby Bend’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve cleaned ducts in Hornsby Bend long enough to know this ZIP code isn’t like Austin proper. The biosolids plant on the south side of the community creates a contamination profile our crews see nowhere else. Neighbors talk. When we solve a problem that three other companies couldn’t diagnose, word gets around. Ray Castillo built this company on showing up when we say we will, explaining the work in plain language, and leaving a written guarantee behind. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if the odor comes back or a duct we sealed fails, we return at no charge - no paperwork, no arguing.
Our office answers calls live, 24 hours a day. Not an app. Not a voicemail tree. A real person who can dispatch a background-checked, uniformed technician to Hornsby Bend. Most jobs finish in one visit. We show you camera footage before we start and after we finish, so you see what was in your ducts, not just take our word for it.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Hornsby Bend
Residential Duct Cleaning
Hornsby Bend homes face a double load: the humid floodplain air that settles into ductwork all summer, and the organic particulates that drift north from the biosolids plant on southerly winds. Our residential cleaning pulls debris from the full length of your supply and return runs using Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, then we verify with video. For homes near the plant, we inspect duct liner for the musty-sulfurous odor that standard blowouts can’t touch. We treat or replace that liner when needed. A typical Hornsby Bend residential clean runs $280-$450 for homes under 2,500 square feet.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Small commercial properties in Hornsby Bend - the shops along FM 969, the churches, the light industrial spaces near the plant - need duct cleaning that doesn’t shut them down for days. We work evenings and weekends when necessary, and we bring Abatement Technologies HEPA containment so your operation stays clean while we clean. Commercial pricing in Hornsby Bend starts around $550 and scales with system size and contamination level.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply runs push conditioned air into your rooms. In Hornsby Bend’s manufactured homes, these are often flex-duct that sags in the crawl space, creating low spots where humidity and biosolid particulates pool. We don’t just blow them out. We rehang sagging sections, replace collapsed runs with insulated rigid duct where appropriate, and seal connections so the air that reaches your vents is actually clean. Supply duct cleaning alone typically runs $180-$320 in this market.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to your handler - and in Hornsby Bend, that return air carries whatever is outside your intake. Homes south of Elroy Road or near the plant’s fenceline draw in compounds that embed in porous duct liner and fiberglass insulation. Our return cleaning includes inspection of the filter cabinet, cleaning of the return plenum, and treatment of contaminated liner. This is where the biosolids issue usually hides. Return duct work in Hornsby Bend runs $200-$380 depending on accessibility and contamination severity.
Full System Cleaning
The only way to address Hornsby Bend’s unique contamination profile is the full system: supply runs, return runs, trunk lines, air handler cabinet, blower assembly, and coils. We recommend this for any home within a mile of the biosolids plant, any manufactured home with original flex-duct, and any property that has never had professional duct cleaning. Full system cleaning in Hornsby Bend ranges from $450-$750. We show you every inch on camera before and after.
Video Inspection
We video-inspect every job, but we also offer standalone video inspection for Hornsby Bend homeowners who want to know what they’re dealing with before committing to full service. The floodplain humidity here promotes microbial growth in supply runs that other cities don’t see at the same rate. Video finds it. Standalone inspection runs $150-$220 and applies toward any cleaning work you schedule within 30 days.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Hornsby Bend Homes
- Sagging flex-duct in manufactured homes traps biosolid particulates. The 78725 area has significant manufactured housing stock, and original flex-duct collapses under its own weight in crawl spaces. Those low spots become debris reservoirs that recontaminate the system within weeks of a superficial cleaning.
- Musty-sulfurous odor baked into porous duct liner. Standard rotary brush cleaning blows out loose debris but leaves this embedded contamination untouched. Homeowners call us months after a “cleaning” wondering why the smell returned. We check for it on every Hornsby Bend job.
- Microbial growth in supply runs from floodplain humidity. Hornsby Bend sits lower and wetter than Austin’s upland neighborhoods. That moisture infiltrates ductwork during the six-month cooling season, and when it meets organic particulates from the plant, mold follows. Video inspection finds it. Surface cleaning misses it.
- Failed filter cabinets letting unfiltered air into handlers. Older homes and some manufactured units have inadequate or missing filter racks. The air handler pulls return air through gaps around the filter, bypassing filtration entirely. We replace these with sealed Aprilaire cabinets.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Hornsby Bend
Homes within a mile of the plant, especially those south of Elroy Road, draw in odor compounds and fine particulates on southerly winds that Austin’s upland neighborhoods simply don’t experience. These compounds embed in porous duct liner and accumulate in return-air systems, creating a contamination profile that requires liner treatment or replacement, not just a standard blowout. Call (844) 685-6342 for a free inspection and estimate.
Manufactured homes in the 78725 corridor typically use flex-duct that degrades and sags in crawl spaces over 15-20 years, creating debris traps where biosolid particulates and humidity pool. A cleaning that doesn’t rehang or replace that sagging duct recontaminates within weeks. We address the structure, not just the surface. Call (844) 685-6342 for an assessment - estimates are free.
We check for a musty-sulfurous odor baked into duct liner - the calling card of return-air systems that have repeatedly ingested air from the direction of the biosolids plant. Standard cleaning doesn’t remove it. We apply antimicrobial sealant or replace contaminated liner, then upgrade filtration to prevent recurrence. Call (844) 685-6342 to schedule an inspection.
Hornsby Bend’s humid microclimate promotes microbial growth in supply runs that surface cleaning can miss. Video inspection verifies that we’ve reached the full length of the duct and that no mold colonies remain hidden in damp sections. We include it on every job. Call (844) 685-6342 to book.
No. The odor compounds have already passed through the filter and embedded in duct liner, filter cabinet insulation, and air handler components. A new filter stops future particulates but does nothing for existing contamination. Professional cleaning with possible liner treatment is required. Call (844) 685-6342 for a free estimate.
