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 Obetz, OH
Air duct cleaning in Obetz costs between $450 and $650 for a typical single-system ranch home, with larger homes or heavily contaminated systems running $700 to $1,000. What makes Obetz different from every other Franklin County suburb is the air itself, which carries fine diesel soot and industrial particulate from the Alum Creek Drive freight corridor straight into residential ductwork. Our crews see Obetz systems that are loaded faster and heavier than homes just two miles away in Groveport, and we plan every job around that reality. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote before anything starts.
Why Obetz Homes Are Different
Obetz is one of Franklin County’s most concentrated industrial villages. Warehouses, distribution centers, and freight operations line Alum Creek Drive, and residential streets sit close enough that the round-the-clock truck traffic leaves a gray-black residue on supply registers and inside ducts. Residents often assume it’s ordinary dust. Our technicians recognize it immediately as fine combustion particulate from diesel exhaust, and it changes how we approach the work.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Most Obetz homes are working-class ranch houses and bungalows built between the 1950s and 1970s, many still running original galvanized or bare sheet-metal ducts that have never been professionally serviced. These older systems typically have poorly sealed joints that draw in contaminants from crawl spaces and unconditioned areas. Add central Ohio’s humid summers, which create condensation inside uninsulated duct runs, and you get a surface where mold spores can colonize, especially with the extra particulate load giving them more to cling to. Winter freeze-thaw cycles stress duct connections further, opening gaps that admit outside air and debris. A thorough job in Obetz means more than running a brush through. It means paying attention to joints, returns, and the particular soot pattern this village produces.
Our Main Obetz Services
Two jobs keep most Obetz homes comfortable and safe, and each has its own dedicated page with local pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Obetz
Our air duct cleaning here accounts for the Alum Creek Drive particulate load and the older ductwork most Obetz homes still use. We run professional-grade Rotobrush equipment through supply and return runs, agitate the interior walls to release the gray-black soot that settles in these systems, and pull it out under negative pressure. Before we start, we protect floors with drop cloths and shoe covers, and we give you a written price for the entire system. No per-vent pricing, no surprises. Air Duct Cleaning in Obetz covers the full process, local costs, and what to expect from start to finish.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Obetz
Dryer vents in Obetz often run through crawl spaces or exterior walls in homes built mid-century, and the same industrial dust that loads ducts also settles into dryer exhaust lines. Lint plus that fine particulate creates a dense, flammable buildup. We clear the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination, inspect for gaps or crush points, and verify airflow afterward with a photo of the cleaned vent before we leave. Most Obetz jobs take about an hour. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Obetz has the full breakdown with local pricing.

No. Air duct and dryer vent cleaning is interior maintenance work and doesn’t require a permit or HOA sign-off anywhere in the village. If you rent, check your lease first, but most landlords welcome the service since it protects the system.
It will eventually return because the source is the truck traffic on Alum Creek Drive. However, a professional cleaning with proper joint sealing slows the buildup significantly. Most Obetz homeowners schedule a full cleaning every three to five years depending on how close they are to the corridor.

- 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."
- 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."
