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 Peabody, MA
Air duct cleaning in Peabody, MA typically costs $350-$650 for a whole-home system, depending on home size, duct accessibility, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Peabody homes present a specific set of challenges: older triple-deckers with retrofitted ducts, ranch homes with original 50-plus-year-old sheet metal, and persistent coastal humidity that speeds dust compaction. Our crews work around kids, pets, and nap schedules, and every job starts with a written price before any equipment comes off the truck. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Peabody Homes Are Different
Peabody’s housing stock splits into two very different duct situations. The central city and south Peabody are dense with triple-deckers and multi-families built between 1900 and the 1940s, many of which had forced-air systems retrofitted into chases never designed for them. Those runs are often tight, awkward, and packed with decades of accumulated debris. West Peabody tells a different story: the post-World War II ranch and split-level subdivisions built through the 1960s and 70s mostly still have their original sheet-metal ductwork, now 50-plus years old, with seams that leak and interiors that hold onto dust.
Peabody also carries a legacy most North Shore towns don’t. For nearly a century, this city was the leather-tanning capital of the world. The tanneries along the Ipswich River corridor released industrial particulates – chromium compounds, sulfides, and chemical dust – that settled into the older residential stock surrounding those sites. Homes in central and south Peabody built during or just after the peak tannery era, before roughly 1960, may carry a contamination profile in their ductwork that technicians simply don’t encounter in Salem or Danvers. When we clean those systems, we’re not just removing household dust. We’re removing what decades of industrial Peabody left behind, which is why we recommend post-service air testing for older homes near the old tannery corridor.
Climate compounds it. Peabody sits just inland of the coast, close enough that maritime humidity keeps crawl spaces and low-lying duct runs persistently damp from fall through winter. Then cold-season heating demand runs forced-air systems hard for five months or more. Dust compacts. Moisture encourages mold. The work here requires more than a quick pass with a vacuum.
Our Main Peabody Services
Peabody homeowners call us most about the two jobs below. Each has its own dedicated Peabody page with full pricing and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Peabody
Whole-home Air Duct Cleaning in Peabody means opening every supply and return register, brushing and vacuuming the full run, and documenting the before-and-after with photos. In Peabody’s older triple-deckers, tight chases mean we often work register-by-register rather than through a single large access point, which takes longer but gets the job done right. In West Peabody ranch homes near the Ipswich River wetlands, we regularly find standing moisture and active mold in low-profile crawl-space duct runs, where the flat terrain and high water table keep things wet even in dry summers. We’ll show you what we found and what we did about it.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Peabody
Dryer vents in Peabody clog faster near the coast, where humidity keeps lint damp and sticky rather than dry and loose. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Peabody means clearing the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, then verifying airflow at the outside vent. Many Peabody homes have long horizontal vent runs through basements or crawl spaces, and those are the ones most likely to hold moisture, feed mold, and restrict airflow. If your dryer takes longer than one cycle to dry a normal load, the vent is working against you. We’ll show you the before-and-after airflow numbers.

What Peabody Customers Say
"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."

- 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."
