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 Alderwood Manor, WA
Air duct cleaning in Alderwood Manor runs about $320 to $580 for a typical single-family ranch, and most homes benefit from a full clean every three to five years. What makes Alderwood Manor jobs different isn’t the equipment we bring; it’s what the neighborhood itself puts into the ducts. Dense alder and Douglas fir canopy, 35-plus inches of annual rain, and 50-to-70-year-old galvanized metal ductwork mean the dust here is damp, organic, and stubborn. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through what your home needs, with a written price before anyone starts.
Why Alderwood Manor Homes Are Different
Alderwood Manor sits in Snohomish County’s Puget Sound lowlands, where marine air keeps relative humidity above 70% for much of the October through April stretch. That’s the detail that changes everything. Duct debris in a dry climate stays loose and powdery. Duct debris in Alderwood Manor turns into a damp paste that clings to sidewalls and seizes up in rusted seams.
Most of the housing stock dates from the 1950s through mid-1970s, when the old berry-farm tracts were subdivided into ranch-style and split-level homes. The original galvanized sheet-metal duct runs in those houses are now 50 to 70 years old. We routinely find rust at the seams and joints, and where 1980s and 1990s retrofits added flex duct, the low points sag and hold standing moisture. None of this is anyone’s fault; it’s what the climate does to the materials.
The tree canopy is the other factor. Alderwood Manor gets its name from the red alder and Douglas fir that still surround most homes. Each wet season, fine organic particulates, pollen, and fungal spores saturate the outdoor air and get pulled straight into return-air intakes. Then the persistent damp gives mold a foothold inside the ducts. A clean here isn’t just about dust; it’s about getting organic material out before it becomes a biological problem.
Our Main Alderwood Manor Services
Most Alderwood Manor homeowners call us for two things: a full air duct cleaning, and a dryer vent cleaning that actually gets the vent clear all the way to the outside. Each has its own dedicated page for the details, pricing, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Alderwood Manor
Full air duct cleaning in Alderwood Manor means opening the supply and return runs and removing the damp, organic debris that the marine climate and tree canopy keep feeding into the system. We run a Rotobrush agitation system through every accessible run, then pull the loosened material out with a vacuum rated for fine particulates. On older galvanized ducts we check for rust points and sagging flex sections as we go, because those are where Alderwood Manor’s moisture collects first. You’ll get a written price before we start and a photo of the cleanup when we finish. See Air Duct Cleaning in Alderwood Manor for full pricing and the step-by-step.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alderwood Manor
Dryer vent cleaning here is a different job than it is in a newer subdivision. In Alderwood Manor, north- and west-facing exterior vents on older ranch homes are often matted with decomposed alder leaf litter, and the low-clearance crawlspace vents common to the era sit almost flush with the leaf drop. The result is a vent that never fully drafts, even when it looks clear from the outside. We clean the entire run from the dryer to the exterior cap and remove the debris pack at the outlet. Full details and pricing are on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alderwood Manor.

What Alderwood Manor Customers Say
"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."
- Bonnie Vo"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
- Shelby Dunham"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."
