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 Cheney, WA
Air duct cleaning in Cheney, WA typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What makes Cheney different from Spokane is the rhythm of the work: roughly 40% of housing here is renter-occupied, driven by Eastern Washington University turnover, so landlords and property managers need documented service with photo reports between tenants. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews serve Cheney from our Seattle office, bringing Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to jobs across the Palouse. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Cheney Homes Are Different
Cheney sits on the rolling Palouse about 15 miles southwest of Spokane, where colder winters, more wind, and late-summer dust from surrounding wheat fields push debris into return ducts. Much of the housing stock dates to the post-WWII era and the 1970s – 80s, with modest single-family homes, basements, crawlspaces, and rental apartments clustered near the EWU campus on the south side. Original sheet-metal ductwork is common in older homes; conversions and remodels have left some systems with poorly sealed flex duct run through unconditioned basements and attics.
That student-rental cycle creates distinct patterns. Local techs know the busiest weeks are early August and late December, before move-in and after winter break. Ducts in those properties often show pet hair, candle residue, and window AC unit debris rather than the furnace-heavy buildup you’d see in Spokane’s established owner-occupied neighborhoods. Crawlspace runs near the older core can harbor rodent or insect debris, especially after windy seasons blow dust and insulation particles into gaps.
Our Main Cheney Services
Most calls we get from Cheney fall into three categories. Each has its own page with full details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cheney
We clean supply and return ducts, registers, and the main trunk lines using a Rotobrush rotary brush system or Nikro negative-air method, depending on access and debris type. In Cheney, we often find window AC unit mold in upper-floor rentals near EWU, plus the usual dust loading from Palouse wind. Every job gets a written price before we start and photo documentation landlords can file with turnover paperwork. Air Duct Cleaning in Cheney
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheney
Dryer vent blockages are a fire risk, especially in multi-unit rentals where tenants rarely check the lint path. We run a rotary brush through the full vent line to the exterior cap, then airflow-test before we leave. In Cheney’s older duplexes and four-plexes near campus, vents are often routed through crawlspaces or long horizontal runs that sag and collect lint. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheney
Duct Sealing in Cheney
Leaky ducts waste heated air into unconditioned basements and attics, which hurts efficiency in Cheney’s cold winters. We seal accessible joints with mastic and metal tape, then pressure-test the system. Poorly sealed flex duct from past remodels is common in the 1970s-era homes west of downtown, where additions were tied into original trunk lines without proper closure. Duct Sealing in Cheney

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Cheney
Yes. Most property managers want photo documentation of before-and-after duct conditions for their files. We provide that on request, with timestamps and register-by-register shots, at no extra charge beyond the base job.
Early August and late December book up fastest. We recommend calling two to three weeks ahead for those windows. Otherwise, most Cheney appointments fit within four to six business days.
No permit is required for cleaning. Duct sealing that alters the distribution system may need review if it’s part of a larger HVAC remodel, but standard mastic sealing of accessible joints does not. We flag anything unusual before we start.
