New Construction & Post-Renovation Duct Cleaning in Bastrop, TX
New homes and recently renovated spaces have some of the dirtiest ductwork. During construction, your HVAC ducts act like vacuum cleaners, collecting drywall dust, sawdust, insulation fibers, paint overspray, and construction adhesive fumes. With Bastrop County's building boom, more homeowners than ever are moving into new construction homes unaware of the debris lurking inside their ductwork.
Our post-construction duct cleaning removes all construction debris from your HVAC system before you and your family start breathing it. We work with homeowners, builders, and general contractors throughout Central Texas to deliver move-in ready air quality.
What Construction Leaves Behind in Your Ducts
Even the best builders can't prevent construction debris from entering open ductwork during the building process.
Drywall Dust & Joint Compound
Fine gypsum particles coat every surface inside ducts and embed in HVAC filters, reducing airflow by up to 50%
Sawdust & Wood Shavings
Framing, trim, and cabinet installation generate sawdust that settles throughout the duct system
Insulation Fibers
Fiberglass and spray foam insulation particles become airborne during installation and collect inside ducts
Paint & VOC Residue
Paint overspray and adhesive off-gassing leave chemical residue inside ductwork
Concrete & Morite Dust
Foundation and masonry work generates heavy particulate that settles in floor-level returns
Miscellaneous Debris
Screws, wire nuts, foam pieces, tape, and other small construction items found inside ducts
Who Needs Post-Construction Duct Cleaning?
New Construction Duct Cleaning FAQs
Do new homes need air duct cleaning?
Absolutely. NADCA strongly recommends cleaning ductwork in all new construction homes before occupancy. Construction debris, drywall dust, and other materials accumulate in ducts during the building process and will circulate through your home for years if not removed.
When should I clean ducts after construction?
Ideally after all construction, painting, and cleaning is complete but before you move in. This ensures your family breathes clean air from day one. If you've already moved in, schedule cleaning as soon as possible.
How much does post-construction duct cleaning cost?
Post-construction cleaning typically costs $399-$799 depending on home size and severity of debris. New construction homes often require more thorough cleaning than routine maintenance jobs.
Should the builder pay for duct cleaning?
Some builders include duct cleaning in their finish package, but many don't. We recommend asking your builder before closing. Either way, it's a worthwhile investment for your family's health and your new HVAC system's longevity.
Moving Into a New Home?
Start fresh with clean air. Schedule post-construction duct cleaning before move-in day.
