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 Orchards, WA
Air duct cleaning in Orchards, WA typically runs between $480 and $690 for a full single-system home, and most jobs take one visit. The reason Orchards pricing sits slightly above the Portland metro average isn’t complexity for its own sake: the older crawl-space ranch homes off NE 117th Avenue and the McGillivray corridor carry 25 to 45-year-old flex duct that routinely needs integrity checks before cleaning equipment even gets staged. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts, so you know the number before we touch anything. Call (323) 918-4345 and a live person will walk you through what to expect.
Why Orchards Homes Are Different
Orchards sits directly in the path of Columbia River Gorge wind currents that funnel wildfire smoke from eastern Oregon and Washington fires into this community with unusual concentration each summer and fall. That pattern has intensified year over year, and it loads local ductwork with fine particulate that even downtown Vancouver doesn’t accumulate to the same degree. Then the Pacific Northwest wet season arrives, driving high ambient humidity into the crawl-space duct systems that dominate this area’s housing stock. The result is a layered contamination problem: fine smoke particulate trapped in ductwork that’s also been sitting in moisture for months, often at flex-duct joints and return-air plenums.
The homes themselves compound this. Orchards developed rapidly as unincorporated Clark County from the late 1970s through the 1990s, leaving builder-grade ranch and split-level homes with original flex duct runs beneath the floor. That duct is now decades old, prone to sagging, joint separation, and rodent intrusion from the semi-rural edges of the community. A technician working the older Orchards subdivisions routinely finds flex duct that has partially collapsed or been breached by rodents accessing crawl spaces. What starts as a cleaning call in Orchards frequently becomes a duct integrity inspection first, because cleaning a breached duct without addressing the breach means re-contaminating the system within weeks. Paul Adeyemi and our techs always flag what they see before proceeding, with a written price for any additional work before it happens.
Our Main Orchards Services
Two services make up almost every call we take from Orchards homeowners: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated page, because the local conditions that shape the work in this community are worth explaining properly.
Air Duct Cleaning in Orchards
In Orchards, a full air duct cleaning means more than extraction. The crawl-space flex duct common to this area’s 1970s-1990s ranch homes often has sagged or separated over time, and our techs check for that before running equipment. We use Rotobrush and Nikro professional-grade systems, not entry-level rental gear. Shoe covers and drop cloths protect your floors from the moment we walk in, and we keep tools quiet if a toddler is napping. Pets stay safe with product choices selected for animal safety wherever available. For the full Orchards-specific breakdown, see Air Duct Cleaning in Orchards.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Orchards
Dryer vents in Orchards run through the same crawl spaces as the ducts, and the semi-rural edges of this community mean more lint plus the occasional rodent nest or exterior-vent obstruction from Gorge wind debris. A clogged dryer vent is a house-fire risk, and we treat it as a safety job with a written price before work starts. Our techs photograph the vent interior before and after, so you see exactly what was removed. For pricing and the full write-up on this service, visit Dryer Vent Cleaning in Orchards.
