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 Richmond West, FL
Air duct cleaning in Richmond West typically costs $450-$900 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. Richmond West homes carry a specific quirk: a huge share of them were rebuilt in the 1992-1996 window after Hurricane Andrew, which means their flex ducts are now hitting the 30-year mark all at once. That concentrated aging creates a different kind of duct problem than you’d find in older Miami-Dade neighborhoods, and it changes how we approach the work. If you’re seeing dust settle quickly after cleaning or noticing musty air from the vents, call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll explain what’s actually going on inside your ducts before anyone touches anything.
Why Richmond West Homes Are Different
Richmond West sat directly in Hurricane Andrew’s destruction corridor in August 1992. Most of the neighborhood’s housing stock was destroyed and rebuilt in a narrow four-year window, and the builders of that era leaned heavily on flex ductwork routed through unconditioned attic spaces. Those attics routinely exceed 140°F in summer. Three decades of that heat cycling causes the inner plastic liner of flex duct to degrade, collapse, or detach from the outer insulation jacket. The system keeps running, but it’s quietly pulling humid attic air straight into the living spaces. Homeowners often don’t notice until airflow drops or a musty smell settles into the bedrooms.
Richmond West also sits at the southern edge of Miami-Dade County, right against the eastern Everglades fringe. Ambient humidity here runs among the highest in the county, and AC systems run nearly continuously from March through November. That nonstop operation pulls airborne particulate through the ductwork at a faster rate than in homes with seasonal cooling. We regularly find limestone dust from the surrounding agricultural fringe caked onto duct walls, mixed with organic matter that holds moisture. It’s a combination that sustains mold growth inside duct systems year-round, not just during the wet season.
Our Main Richmond West Services
Two jobs account for nearly every call we get from Richmond West homeowners. Each has its own dedicated page, because the work and the questions that come with it deserve full attention.
Air Duct Cleaning in Richmond West
Richmond West’s post-Andrew rebuild homes often have flex duct that looks fine from the access point but has a collapsed inner liner hidden from view. Before we clean, we inspect for exactly that failure mode, because cleaning a system with a detached liner would be wasted effort. Once the system is confirmed intact, we run professional-grade agitation and negative-air equipment through the full duct run, protecting floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the first step inside. For families with kids and pets, quieter tool settings and pet-safe product choices are part of the plan. Air Duct Cleaning in Richmond West
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richmond West
Dryer vents in Richmond West accumulate lint just like anywhere else, but the humidity here makes that lint cling and compact faster. A vent that would still be passable in a drier climate becomes a real airflow restriction within a season or two. We remove the built-up lint from the full vent run, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, and we check the duct path for the kinks and sagging that are common in post-Andrew rebuilds where the laundry room moved during reconstruction. Written pricing comes before the work starts, and a photo of the finished vent comes before we leave. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richmond West

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Richmond West
Most Richmond West calls are scheduled within the same week. The area is compact and our crews are in this part of the county regularly, so a straightforward air duct or dryer vent job rarely needs more than a few days’ notice. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact date.
No. Duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning are interior maintenance work inside your own walls and attic, so HOA approval isn’t required in Richmond West. The only time an association would get involved is if a vent termination on an exterior wall needs to be relocated, which is uncommon. Call (323) 918-4345 if your HOA has specific questions, and we’ll explain the work in terms they can approve quickly.
It can. Homes rebuilt in the 1992-1996 window often have flex duct that’s degraded from decades of attic heat cycling, and if we find a collapsed inner liner during inspection, the repair work adds to the total. The cleaning portion itself stays within the same range as elsewhere, but a full duct replacement is a bigger job. Your written quote includes everything we find, so there are no surprises after the work starts.
