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 Maplewood, WA
Air duct cleaning in Maplewood costs between $285 and $480 for a typical single-family home, with larger homes and duct systems with significant buildup running higher. What makes Maplewood jobs different comes down to the housing stock: most homes here were built between the 1950s and 1970s, and many still run original flex or round galvanized ductwork through unconditioned crawl spaces. That configuration, combined with western Washington’s damp winters and summer wildfire smoke, means Maplewood ducts collect a mix of moisture-driven growth and fine particulate that homes in drier eastern Washington simply don’t see. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Maplewood Homes Are Different
Maplewood sits in the South King County corridor where persistent marine air keeps relative humidity high inside ductwork from October through April. Those conditions aren’t kind to older flex duct runs. In the 1950s-1970s ranch and split-level homes that dominate this area, duct runs through unconditioned crawl spaces sag over time at support hangers, pooling debris and condensation in low spots. A standard brush rig can’t always reach what’s collected in those dips, and that’s the first thing our technicians look for when quoting a Maplewood job. It’s a concrete, visible problem we can point out before we start, not an abstract upsell.
The other Maplewood factor is smoke. From July into September, wildfire smoke from eastern Washington pushes fine particulate into forced-air systems whose filters were sized decades ago. Homeowners here seal windows and run HVAC constantly during those months, which means whatever sits in the ductwork keeps cycling through the house. Between the wet-season biological buildup and the dry-season particulate load, Maplewood systems face a year-round demand cycle that a contractor in, say, Spokane or Yakima rarely deals with. That’s why we approach every Maplewood job by looking at the crawl space first, not the registers.
Our Main Maplewood Services
Maplewood homeowners call us most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated Maplewood page with pricing, process, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Maplewood
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Maplewood typically involves cleaning every supply and return run, the main trunk lines, and the plenums, with extra attention paid to crawl-space flex duct that’s sagged or pooled moisture. We use professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for older galvanized and flex systems, and we document before-and-after photos so you can see what came out. Maplewood’s damp winters mean we often find biological growth in crawl-space runs that needs more than a surface pass. Air Duct Cleaning in Maplewood covers full pricing and the process in detail.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Maplewood
Dryer vent lines in older Maplewood homes tend to be long, sometimes running through crawl spaces or exterior walls with multiple elbows. Lint packs into those bends faster than in newer, shorter vent runs, and the damp air around Maplewood makes that lint cling and compact. Our technicians clean the full vent run from dryer to exterior termination, then run an airflow check to confirm the vent is clear. If you’ve noticed drying times creeping up, this is usually the reason. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Maplewood has the full walkthrough and pricing.
