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 Medical Lake, WA
Air duct cleaning in Medical Lake runs between $400 and $1,200 for a full single-family system, and it is work that looks different here than it does ten miles away in Spokane. The 2022 Gray Fire, forty-year-old sheet-metal ductwork, and persistent dryland dust all meet in Medical Lake homes in a way our technicians plan for before they ever pull up. Call (323) 918-4345 and we will give you a written price before any equipment comes off the truck.
Why Medical Lake Homes Are Different
Medical Lake sits on the semi-arid Columbia Plateau, where dry winds move fine agricultural dust off the surrounding wheat country and straight into home air intakes. That dust settles in return ducts and supply runs faster here than in urban Spokane, and it keeps settling every time the wind picks up. Forced-air systems in Medical Lake run hard from October through April – six or more months of heat pushing air through ductwork that is often the original sheet metal from when the house was built.
Housing stock matters too. Most Medical Lake homes are modest ranch-style builds from the 1950s through the 1980s, and those original ducts have seams and joints that open up over time. Gaps pull dust from crawlspaces and wall cavities directly into the airflow. Then there is the Gray Fire of August 2022. Homes that survived the perimeter often have smoke residue and fine ash inside their returns that nobody has ever looked at. We find it regularly – visible gray film and particulate that has been recirculating through living spaces ever since the fire. That combination of wind-driven dust, aging ductwork, and fire-event smoke makes Medical Lake a genuinely distinct service area.
Our Main Medical Lake Services
Medical Lake homeowners call us most often for two jobs, and each has its own detailed page with pricing, process, and FAQs.
Air Duct Cleaning in Medical Lake
Full-system air duct cleaning in Medical Lake means opening the supply and return sides, agitating the duct walls with professional Rotobrush or Nikro equipment, and extracting what comes loose with a high-powered vacuum. In homes that stood through the Gray Fire perimeter, our techs routinely find a visible smoke film inside the return plenum and along the first few feet of supply runs. That film keeps releasing particles into the air every time the furnace fan cycles. See Air Duct Cleaning in Medical Lake for full pricing and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Medical Lake
Dryer vents in Medical Lake collect the same wind-driven dust and lint mix that the ducts do, and the long cold season means dryers run constantly. A clogged vent makes the dryer work harder, drives up the electric bill, and is the leading cause of dryer fires. Our techs use rotating brush heads to clear the full run from dryer to exterior cap, then verify airflow at the termination point. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Medical Lake for the full breakdown.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Medical Lake, WA
Every job gets a written price before work starts. Here is what Medical Lake homeowners can expect.
| Service | Typical range in Medical Lake |
|---|---|
| Full single-family air duct cleaning | $400 - $1,200 |
| Single furnace system, typical ranch | $450 - $700 |
| Larger home or dual-zone system | $800 - $1,200 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $150 - $300 |
| Dryer vent cap replacement | $75 - $150 |
| Furnace blower cleaning (as add-on) | $150 - $250 |

| Whole-home air filter cabinet installation | $350 - $700 |
| UV air purifier installation | $800 - $1,800 |
Gray Fire homes tend to land at the upper end of the range because smoke film requires a second agitation pass and often a coil cleaning. Heavily dust-laden systems from years of agricultural particulate also take longer. Whatever the final number is, you will see it on paper before we begin, and that is the price you pay.

What Medical Lake 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."
