Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Santa Fe, TX
Air duct cleaning in Santa Fe costs between $390 and $640 for a whole-home system on a typical ranch-style house, and most jobs are finished in a single visit. Santa Fe’s mix of 1970s-1990s slab-foundation homes, manufactured housing, and Harvey-era patchwork ductwork means the work here is rarely routine. We inspect the full system before quoting because so many Santa Fe homes carry hidden post-flood residue that changes the scope of the job. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through what your home actually needs.
Why Santa Fe Homes Are Different
Santa Fe sits in the high-humidity corridor between Houston and Galveston Bay, where ambient relative humidity regularly tops 80-90%. That means any duct section with loose joints or worn insulation sweats, and condensation inside a duct system feeds mold growth far faster than in drier inland suburbs. In the attics of Santa Fe’s 1970s-1990s ranch homes, where flex duct runs sit in unconditioned space that exceeds 140°F in summer, the temperature swings make the problem worse. Hot attic air pushes against cooled duct interiors, and the moisture that collects at the seams never really dries out.
Then there’s the Harvey legacy. Widespread flooding in 2017 left many Santa Fe homes “restored” on the surface while the HVAC systems underneath were never properly remediated. On the lower-lying streets near Chocolate Bayou tributaries, we regularly pull a register and find a fine gray silt line inside the plenum, a dried watermark from floodwater that wicked in and was never flushed out. Owners believe the house was fully addressed. The ducts tell a different story. That patchwork of original and replacement ductwork across Santa Fe, combined with manufactured housing that often uses long flex runs, means a full-system inspection matters here more than in most places we work.
Our Main Santa Fe Services
Santa Fe homeowners call us most often about two jobs: cleaning the air ducts that move conditioned air through the house, and clearing the dryer vent that carries lint and heat outside. Both have their own pages with pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Fe
We clean the full duct system with professional equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro: supply and return runs, the plenum, register boots, and the blower compartment. In Santa Fe, we pay close attention to Harvey-era duct sections, looking for silt lines, mold staining, and rodent debris that standard cleanings miss. We also check the flex duct connections that original tract homes often have loose. Full details, including pricing for whole-home jobs and attic runs, are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Fe page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Fe
Most Santa Fe dryer vents run through the attic or an exterior wall and terminate under a soffit or roof cap. When the vent is clogged with lint, the dryer runs hotter and longer, and in a humid place like Santa Fe the trapped moisture clumps the lint into a paste that’s harder to clear. We remove the buildup from the dryer connection to the exterior termination and confirm airflow afterward. The Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Fe page covers what you’ll pay and how the visit works.

What Santa Fe Customers Say
"New house, old dusty ducts. They were gentle in the house, laid down drop cloths, and double checked every register was sealed back up. Air smells fresh now."
- Scott Hemmings"Friendly, calm crew that clearly cared about the house. Covered their shoes, protected the floors, and double checked they'd closed up every vent cover properly. Would have them back."
- Omar Zaid"Ducts and dryer vent both. They put runners down the whole hall and wore booties. Spotless after, and they showed me photos of what came out. Worth every penny."
