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 Kemah, TX
Air duct cleaning in Kemah, TX costs between $285 and $610 for a typical whole-home system, and it’s a different job here than almost anywhere else along the Texas Gulf Coast. The salt air off Galveston Bay works into ductwork year-round, corroding metal collars and keeping the inside of flex ducts damp enough for microbial growth even when the AC is running. We’ve worked on enough elevated post-Ike rebuilds to know what Kemah homes actually need, and you can reach us at (323) 918-4345 any time to talk about yours.
This page is your Kemah overview. The two services we provide here each have their own page, linked just below in “Our Main Kemah Services,” with pricing and details written specifically for Kemah conditions. This page covers why ductwork in Kemah fails the way it does, what it costs to fix, and where we work.
Why Kemah Homes Are Different
Kemah sits directly on the western shore of Galveston Bay, and that location changes everything about how duct systems age. The air here carries salt, and lots of it. Relative humidity rarely drops below 70%, and AC systems run nine to ten months a year under near-continuous load. That means evaporator coils and the duct sections nearest them stay perpetually damp, which is exactly the environment mold and bacteria need to colonize.
The housing stock makes it more specific. Much of Kemah was severely damaged by Hurricane Ike in 2008 and rebuilt to FEMA flood-zone standards requiring pier-and-beam or stilt elevation. That’s good for flood protection, but it means ductwork runs through open, unconditioned under-floor space where bay breezes move salt air past it constantly. The pre-Ike coastal cottages that survived, many built as weekend retreats back in the 1960s through the 1980s, often still have their original ductwork with storm moisture sealed inside.
Our technicians regularly find flex-duct segments beneath elevated Kemah homes that have fully separated at corroded collar joints. The combination of salt air, storm vibration history, and zero thermal protection causes connections to fail silently. The system keeps drawing raw bay humidity into the living space long before anyone notices an airflow problem. That’s not a one-time repair situation; it’s a recurring reality of owning a home here.
Our Main Kemah Services
Kemah homeowners call us most often about two things: the ductwork feeding their AC system, and the dryer vent exhaust running through their walls or roof. Both jobs are shaped by salt air and elevated construction, and each has its own Kemah page with prices and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kemah
Air duct cleaning in Kemah means more than running a brush through registers. The under-floor duct runs on elevated homes collect salt residue, construction debris from post-Ike rebuilds, and in many cases the fine dust that settles in unconditioned spaces. A proper clean uses professional equipment from brands like Rotobrush and Nikro to agitate and extract what’s accumulated, not just vacuum the visible surfaces. We also inspect the connections and collars that salt air attacks first, because a cracked collar joint defeats the point of cleaning. Full pricing and a walkthrough of how we protect the home are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Kemah page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kemah
Dryer vents in Kemah face two pressures: lint buildup, and the same salt humidity that attacks everything else metal. Stilt-elevated homes often route dryer exhaust through long vertical or horizontal runs that lint traps love to clog. Add the humidity and a clogged vent in Kemah won’t just slow drying, it will hold moisture against the duct interior and the lint becomes a damp, matted mass that’s far harder to clear than dry lint. We clear the full run and check exterior terminations, which on bay-facing homes take a beating from salt spray. Details and pricing are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kemah page.

What Kemah 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."
