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 Maltby, WA
Air duct cleaning in Maltby, WA typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and crews from our Seattle office serve Maltby properties with the same equipment we’d bring to a commercial job: Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines. Maltby’s rural character changes the work. Homes here draw from private wells, drain to septic, and many burn wood or oil for heat, so the dust in your ducts carries a different load than what we see down in Bothell or Woodinville. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Maltby Homes Are Different
Maltby sits in unincorporated Snohomish County, and that status matters for how we approach every job. Most properties here are on large lots with manufactured homes, modular builds, or older farmhouses added to piecemeal by owner-builders. Duct runs often stretch through crawlspaces and attics in outbuildings, with layouts that were never formally documented.
The climate doesn’t help. Wet, mild winters and a long damp shoulder season mean ducts can hold moisture and the must that follows. Surrounding nursery greenhouses and farmland push pollen and soil particulate into outdoor air intakes, and residents who close up against the rain for months at a time trap everything inside.
Then there’s the heating mix. Many Maltby homes run wood stoves or pellet stoves alongside central furnaces, so return ducts collect fine creosote-tinged ash that standard suburban cleaning won’t touch. Add well-water humidifiers leaving mineral dust, and you’ve got a particulate profile we plan for before we arrive.
Our Main Maltby Services
Most calls we get from Maltby fall into three categories. Each has its own page with full detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Maltby
We pull debris from supply and return lines with a Rotobrush rotary brush system, then use a Nikro negative-air machine to maintain suction so nothing escapes into your living space. In Maltby, we often find heavy loads of wood-smoke residue and agricultural dust that suburban systems simply don’t accumulate. We photograph the before and after so you see what came out.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Maltby
Dryer vents in rural Maltby homes frequently run longer distances to exterior walls, sometimes through unconditioned crawlspaces where lint can cake against damp metal. We clear the full run with rotary tools and airflow-test afterward. Longer vents here mean we check for proper termination and backdraft issues that shorter suburban runs rarely face.

Duct Sealing in Maltby
Older farmhouses and modular additions in Maltby often have joints that have worked loose over years of seasonal expansion in damp crawlspaces. We seal accessible leaks with mastic and reinforced tape, then pressure-test to verify. Duct sealing here can mean chasing leaks through undocumented additions, but the payoff is real: heated air stops bleeding into your crawlspace. Duct Sealing in Maltby

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Maltby
