What our air duct inspection includes

Every inspection covers the same core items so you can compare quotes apples to apples. Cleaning, sealing, and sanitizing are quoted separately after you see the findings. No surprises, no bundled pricing you did not ask for.

Duct camera video survey

We feed a flexible duct camera through every accessible supply run and the main return trunk. You get stills and video of dust levels, joint condition, insulation integrity, and any moisture or microbial growth. This is the core of the inspection and the part that tells you what is really going on.

Static pressure testing

We measure static pressure at the air handler and compare it against manufacturer specs. High readings point to restriction, often a crushed flexible duct run, a dirty coil, or an undersized return. This number tells us whether your system is working harder than it should.

Coil and drain pan check

The evaporator coil and drain pan get a visual inspection. A dirty coil restricts airflow and a pan holding water is a mold risk. We note condition and flag anything that needs a coil cleaner or a drain line clear before it becomes a bigger problem.

Filter and airflow review

We check your filter size, MERV rating, and condition, then sample airflow at several registers. A filter that is too restrictive can starve the system just as badly as a clogged duct. We tell you what rating your system actually wants, not what the store shelf pushes.

Written findings and photos

You get a written summary with our findings, the camera photos, and recommended next steps with pricing. No verbal-only quotes, no pressure to decide on the spot. Take the report, think it over, and call us if you want the work done.

What an air duct inspection Murphy TX covers


An air duct inspection Murphy TX is a camera-and-pressure evaluation of your home's duct system that locates dust buildup, leaks, mold growth, and airflow restrictions before they cost you money. We feed a duct camera through supply runs, return trunks, and the plenum, then measure static pressure at the air handler. You get photos of what we find, a written summary, and a straight answer on whether cleaning, sealing, or repair is the right next step.

Murphy homes take a beating from North Texas weather. Summer attic temps push past 140 degrees, which bakes flexible duct and dries out duct insulation until it cracks. Winter freezes then work the joints loose. Add Collin County's clay soil shifting under slabs and you get ducts that pull apart at the seams. If you have been searching for air duct inspection Murphy TX near me because dust keeps landing on the furniture an hour after you wipe it down, that is usually the sign.

Tools and methods we use

Tools & Equipment

Duct camera

A flexible camera that feeds through supply and return runs to record video and stills of duct interiors. This is how we document dust levels, joint condition, and any moisture or mold growth.

Negative air machine

Creates negative pressure in the duct system during cleaning so dislodged debris is pulled out rather than blown into the living space. We use Abatement Technologies units.

HEPA vacuum

Captures fine particulate down to 0.3 microns. Used alongside the negative air machine to make sure what comes out of the ducts stays out.

Rotary brush and air whip

Mechanical agitation tools that loosen caked-on dust from sheet metal duct and flexible duct walls. Brushes for metal, air whips for the softer runs.

Compressed air nozzle

Reaches into corners and tight turns where brushes cannot. Used with the negative air machine running to keep debris contained.

Duct fogger

Applies EPA-registered sanitizing mist to the duct interior after cleaning when microbial growth or persistent odors were found during inspection.

Methods & Standards

NADCA assessment, cleaning, and restoration standards

We follow the NADCA ACR standard for evaluating duct condition and documenting findings. That means camera evidence, written reports, and a clear distinction between what needs cleaning and what does not. It is the industry benchmark and it protects you from being sold work you do not need.

Source removal

We do not fog ducts and call it clean. Source removal means physically brushing and vacuuming the contaminants out of the system. Fogging and sanitizing come after, and only when the inspection justifies it. If the source is not removed, the problem comes back.

Static pressure diagnostics

We measure static pressure at the air handler and compare it to the equipment's rated range. High readings tell us the system is working against a restriction. We then trace that restriction to the specific run or component causing it.

Containment and HEPA filtration

During any cleaning work, we set up containment and run HEPA filtration so dust and debris do not migrate into your living space. Floors get protection, work areas get sealed, and we clean up before we leave.

When to book an inspection

01

You just bought a resale home in Murphy and have no duct history.

What we do: We run a full camera inspection and pressure test so you know the condition of the system before you spend on anything else. If the previous owner never had the ducts cleaned, we will find it. If they did, we will confirm it was done right.

→ You get a baseline report with photos and a clear picture of what, if anything, needs attention in the next 12 months.

02

Your family has been waking up congested every morning for weeks.

What we do: We inspect for pet dander buildup, pollen accumulation, and any microbial growth in the ducts. We also check the filter setup and airflow to rule out a restriction that is keeping allergens circulating.

→ You know whether the ducts are contributing to the symptoms and what cleaning or filtration change would help.

03

You just finished a remodel or new construction in The Reserve.

What we do: Post construction duct cleaning is often the right call, but we inspect first to see how much drywall dust and debris actually made it into the runs. Some builds need a full clean, others just need the returns cleared.

→ You avoid paying for a full cleaning you do not need, and you get the debris out before it coats the coil.

04

Your energy bills jumped 30 percent compared to last summer.

What we do: We test static pressure and inspect for leaks and disconnected joints. In Murphy attics, flexible duct and insulation degrade faster than most homeowners expect. A small tear can waste a lot of conditioned air.

→ You get a specific list of leaks and restrictions with repair pricing, so you can decide what is worth fixing now.

How air duct inspection runs in Murphy

Murphy sits in Collin County where summer attic temperatures routinely hit 140 degrees and winter freezes work joints loose. That cycle is hard on duct insulation and mastic. Most homes here have flexible duct in the attic, and after 10 to 15 years that flex duct starts to sag, tear, and pull apart at the connections. We see it constantly in neighborhoods built in the 1990s and early 2000s. Newer builds in The Reserve and Stonebridge often have tighter duct work but still deal with construction debris and filter issues. When you call for duct inspection in Murphy Texas, we bring the camera and the pressure gauge and give you a real read on your system. If you are searching for duct inspection Murphy 75094, we cover the whole ZIP. We also handle the follow-up work, so you are not coordinating between an inspector and a cleaner.

Neighborhoods We Serve

  • Maxwell Creek

    Many homes here are 15 to 20 years old with original flexible duct in the attic. We frequently find sagging runs and deteriorated insulation that need attention.

  • Timber Creek

    A mix of one and two-story homes with attic air handlers. Access can be tight, so we plan extra time for camera work and cleaning on these.

  • The Reserve

    Newer construction where post construction duct cleaning is often the first service needed. Drywall dust and debris in the runs is common in the first year.

  • Downtown Murphy

    Older housing stock with a wider variety of duct configurations, including some sheet metal trunk lines that hold up well but collect dust at the joints.

Local Conditions We Plan For

  • Attic temperatures above 140 degrees in summer

    Heat degrades flexible duct and duct insulation faster than most homeowners expect. We see more torn and disconnected runs in Murphy than in cooler climates, which is why camera inspection matters here.

  • Winter freeze-thaw cycles

    Freezing nights followed by warm days work mastic and sealant loose at the joints. A duct that was sealed tight in October can be leaking by February. We check joints closely on winter inspections.

  • Collin County clay soil movement

    Slab movement can stress duct connections at the plenum and under the slab. We check those transition points carefully and flag anything that looks like it has shifted.

  • High pollen and cedar seasons

    North Texas pollen loads are heavy in spring and cedar hits in winter. Return ducts pull that particulate in, and without a good filter setup it accumulates fast. We check filter rating and condition on every inspection.

Disconnected attic run in Maxwell Creek

Before

A 2,200 square foot home with dust returning to furniture within hours of cleaning. The homeowner had replaced filters monthly with no improvement. Camera inspection found a disconnected flexible duct run in the attic dumping conditioned air into the attic space and pulling attic dust into the system.

After

We reconnected and sealed the run with mastic and duct sealant, then cleaned the affected trunk line. Static pressure dropped from 0.9 to 0.6 inches of water column. The homeowner reported dust on surfaces dropped noticeably within the first week.

Maintenance: Check attic duct connections every fall before heating season. A five-minute visual inspection can catch a disconnected run before it wastes a season of conditioned air.

Before

Musty odor in two back bedrooms whenever the AC ran. The homeowner suspected the ducts but had been told by another company they needed a full system replacement. Our inspection found mold growth on one supply run near a slow evaporator coil leak, not throughout the system.

After

We contained and treated the affected run with EPA-registered products, cleaned the surrounding duct, and flagged the coil for repair by an HVAC tech. The musty odor cleared within days. The homeowner avoided a full replacement quote that would have cost thousands more.

Maintenance: Keep the drain pan and condensate line clear. A slow coil leak is the most common moisture source we find in Murphy attics.

Before

New build, six months after move-in, drywall dust still puffing from vents. The homeowner's son had morning allergies that would not clear. Inspection found construction debris in three supply runs and heavy dust in the main return trunk.

After

We performed a full post construction duct cleaning with negative air and HEPA vacuum. Before-and-after camera photos showed clean duct walls. The son's morning congestion cleared within a week, and the dust on furniture stopped returning.

Maintenance: Change filters monthly for the first year after a new build. Construction dust keeps shedding from surfaces long after the crew leaves.

Duct problems we find in Murphy homes

Most of what we find falls into a handful of categories. Here are the ones that show up most often when we run a duct inspection in Murphy Texas.

Problem

Dust returning to surfaces within hours

If dust settles right after you wipe it down, the ducts are likely releasing particulate every time the system runs. That means your filter is not catching it and the source is downstream.

Our Fix

We run a camera through the supply and return runs to find where the dust is coming from. Often it is a disconnected joint pulling attic air, or heavy buildup in the return trunk. We document it, then quote cleaning or sealing based on what the photos show.

Problem

Musty odors when the AC kicks on

Musty smells usually mean moisture somewhere in the system. Left alone, that moisture feeds mold growth in ductwork and can spread through the whole trunk line.

Our Fix

We inspect the coil, drain pan, and duct interior for moisture and visible growth. If mold is present, we contain the affected run, treat it with EPA-registered products, and flag the moisture source so it does not return. We also check whether air duct sanitizing services make sense.

Problem

Uneven room temperatures

One room hot, another cold, usually points to a duct problem rather than an equipment problem. A crushed run, a leaky joint, or a closed damper can starve a room of airflow.

Our Fix

Static pressure testing and register airflow checks tell us which runs are underperforming. We trace the problem back to the source, whether that is a torn flexible duct, a disconnected joint, or a balancing issue, and give you a clear fix.

Problem

Energy bills climbing without explanation

Leaky ducts waste 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air in a typical home. You pay to cool the attic instead of the living room, and the system runs longer to compensate.

Our Fix

We locate leaks with camera inspection and pressure testing, then seal them with mastic and duct sealant rated for the temperature swings North Texas attics see. Most Murphy homeowners notice a difference on the next bill.

Why Murphy homeowners book duct inspection

Why Murphy homeowners book duct inspection

An inspection is the cheapest part of duct work and the one that stops you from spending on the wrong fix. Here is what a proper look inside your system actually gets you.

  • Find leaks before they cost

    Leaky ducts waste 20 to 30 percent of the air your system conditions. In a 2,400 square foot Murphy home, that is real money every month. Our ductwork inspection Murphy pinpoints disconnected joints, torn flexible duct, and failed mastic so you seal the right spots instead of guessing.

  • Catch mold and moisture early

    Mold growth in ductwork needs moisture and darkness, and a duct sitting in a humid attic crawlspace has both. We photograph any suspect growth and check the evaporator coil pan at the same time. Catching it at a patch instead of a full trunk line saves thousands.

  • Breathe easier during allergy season

    Pet dander buildup and pollen ride through return ducts all spring. If your family wakes up congested every morning, the ducts may be recycling what the filter missed. A camera inspection shows whether buildup is light, moderate, or heavy before you commit to cleaning.

  • Get a real number, not a scare

    Some companies inspect and immediately quote a full replacement. We hand you photos, static pressure readings, and a written scope. You decide. If cleaning is all you need, that is all we quote. Same-day air duct inspection Murphy appointments are available most weekdays.

Verified Reviews

Google ★★★★★4.9

PureBreeze Path inspected our ducts after another company tried to sell us a full replacement. They found one disconnected run and a dirty coil, fixed the run, and saved us thousands. Showed us the camera footage on their tablet. Honest work.

Yelp ★★★★★4.8

Booked a same-day inspection for a musty smell in the back of the house. Tech showed up on time, ran the camera, found mold on one run, and explained everything without pressure. Cleaned and treated it two days later. Smell is gone.

BBB ★★★★★4.9

We used them for post construction duct cleaning after a remodel. Drywall dust was everywhere in the vents. They cleaned the whole system, showed before-and-after photos, and cleaned up after themselves. Fair price and no upsell.

Google ★★★★★5.0

Called about high energy bills and dust on the furniture. Inspection found three leaks in the attic ducts. They sealed them and cleaned the system. Next month's electric bill was $80 lower. Wish I had called them sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and property managers.

How much does air duct inspection cost in Murphy TX?
Most air duct inspections in Murphy TX run $150 to $350 depending on system size and how many runs we can access. A single-story home with 8 to 10 supplies sits at the low end. Two-story homes with multiple zones and attic runs take longer and land higher. The fee covers camera work, pressure testing, and a written report. If you book cleaning the same visit, we credit the inspection toward the job.
Who offers duct inspection in Murphy Texas?
PureBreeze Path offers duct inspection in Murphy Texas with NADCA-trained technicians and a camera-first approach. We serve all of Murphy, 75094, and surrounding Collin County neighborhoods. Call (855) 948-0345 to schedule. We also handle related work like mold in air ducts cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and air duct sanitizing services if the inspection turns up something that needs attention.
Is air duct inspection near me in Murphy worth it?
Yes, if you have symptoms: dust returning within hours, musty odors, uneven room temperatures, or allergy flare-ups that ease when you leave the house. An inspection costs less than one duct cleaning and tells you whether cleaning is even necessary. In Murphy's climate, ducts in attics degrade faster than most homeowners expect, so a look every two to three years is reasonable.
How long does an air duct inspection take?
Plan on 60 to 90 minutes for a typical Murphy home. Single-story homes with easy attic access finish closer to an hour. Two-story homes, homes with multiple air handlers, or systems where we need to cut access panels take longer. We will tell you upfront when you book. Same-day air duct inspection Murphy slots are usually available if you call before noon.
