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 Union Hill-Novelty Hill, WA
Air duct cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill typically runs between $450 and $900 for a full single-family home, depending on square footage and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Homes here on the Sammamish Plateau face a combination we don’t see as acutely in Redmond or Kirkland: dense tree cover shedding pollen year-round, persistent fog that keeps crawl spaces damp, and ductwork now entering its second or third decade. We’ll walk you through exactly what your system needs, with a written price before anything starts. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll talk through your home’s specifics.
Why Union Hill-Novelty Hill Homes Are Different
Union Hill-Novelty Hill sits on the densely forested Sammamish Plateau, surrounded by Douglas fir, western red cedar, and alder. That tree cover is beautiful, but it means pollen, needle dust, and spores find their way into return-air paths and flex duct connections year-round. Add the plateau’s elevated rainfall and fog that lingers in shaded lots, and the result is ductwork that rarely gets a chance to dry out.
Most homes here were built during the 1990s and 2000s tech-corridor expansion. They’re large single-family houses, now roughly 15 to 30 years old, with forced-air systems that have never been fully cleaned. Ductwork commonly runs through unconditioned crawl spaces over the plateau’s moist soil, and the combination of warm air inside the ducts and cool, damp air outside promotes condensation at the connections. Over time, that moisture traps construction dust, pollen, and microbial growth in a way that newer, drier construction doesn’t. When we inspect a Union Hill-Novelty Hill home, we’re almost always the first crew to open the registers since the builder walked off site.
There’s also the wildfire smoke factor. During the 2020 and 2022 smoke events, this area caught heavy easterly smoke flows and homeowners ran HVAC systems hard to stay cool, often with windows cracked. That pulled fine PM2.5 particulate directly into the ductwork. Homes that were occupied during those seasons frequently show a thin soot layer on supply registers that a standard filter swap never touched. It’s a plateau-specific signature we look for on every inspection.
Our Main Union Hill-Novelty Hill Services
Most Union Hill-Novelty Hill homeowners call us for one of two jobs. Each has its own page with local pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill
Full-system cleaning that addresses what actually accumulates in plateau homes: pollen and needle dust from the surrounding canopy, construction debris from the original build, and the fine particulate that settled in during wildfire smoke seasons. We run professional-grade equipment through the supply and return sides, clean the registers and boots, and leave the system moving air the way it should. Given the local moisture patterns, we pay particular attention to condensation points near crawl-space connections. See the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill
Dryer vents here often run longer than average because laundry rooms are placed away from exterior walls in larger plateau floor plans. That means more surface area for lint to accumulate, and longer runs mean more resistance. We clean the full length from dryer to exterior termination, remove built-up lint, and check the vent hood outside. For plateau homes with second-floor laundry rooms, this is a job we recommend annually. Details and pricing are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill page.

Most Union Hill-Novelty Hill appointments are scheduled within one to three business days, depending on the week and where you are on the plateau. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you the next available window for your neighborhood.
No. Interior air duct and dryer vent cleaning is a maintenance job inside your own walls, and no HOA in this area requires approval for it. If you’re in a community with specific contractor access rules, a heads-up to the management office is plenty; we arrive in marked vehicles and uniformed crews, which most HOAs here appreciate.
In many cases, yes. The persistent dampness in Union Hill-Novelty Hill crawl spaces migrates into flex-duct connections and creates conditions where mold and organic debris collect faster than in drier neighboring areas. We recommend an inspection here every three to five years, or sooner if anyone in the house has allergies and you notice a musty smell when the system starts up.

What Union Hill-Novelty Hill 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."
