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 Alderwood Manor, WA
Air duct cleaning in Alderwood Manor typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What drives the real price is what’s inside your ducts: rodent debris, moisture damage, and collapsed flex duct from the 1950s – 1970s housing stock that dominates this area. We dispatch crews from our Seattle office who know Alderwood Manor’s crawlspaces, its wet climate, and the difference between a routine cleaning and one that needs pest remediation first. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Alderwood Manor Homes Are Different
Most Alderwood Manor houses went up between the 1950s and 1970s as ranch-style and split-level builds with forced-air furnaces and flexible ductwork snaking through vented crawlspaces. That flex duct, now sixty-plus years old in many homes, has become a highway for rats and mice, especially in neighborhoods backing onto the wooded wetlands along Swamp Creek. Rodent activity peaks in late fall as temperatures drop, and by winter we’re often pulling out nests, droppings, and chewed insulation before we can even assess the dust load.
The Pacific Northwest climate layers on another problem. Cool, wet air keeps outdoor humidity high for most of the year, and with heating systems running hard from October through April, condensation collects in low spots of sagging ductwork. Combine that with Alderwood Manor’s partially unincorporated, heavily wooded character and high water table, and you’ve got conditions where mold and mildew establish themselves inside the system, not just on the grate. Cleaning here isn’t a vacuum-and-go job. We regularly find sections of duct that need repair or replacement before cleaning can even begin, and we price that separately, in writing, before touching anything.
Our Main Alderwood Manor Services
Homeowners in Alderwood Manor call us most often for these three jobs, each with its own local conditions and pricing page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Alderwood Manor
We clean forced-air duct systems using Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract debris from the entire run. In Alderwood Manor, this often means starting with a camera inspection of crawlspace flex duct to locate rodent damage or standing water before we commit to cleaning. If the duct is intact, we brush and vacuum every supply and return, then treat with a botanical antimicrobial where moisture has been an issue. Air Duct Cleaning in Alderwood Manor covers full pricing and what we do when we find damage.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alderwood Manor
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires nationwide, and in Alderwood Manor’s older homes with long vent runs through crawlspaces or exterior walls, lint accumulation is often worse than in newer construction. We clear the full run from dryer to termination with rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools, then verify airflow with a manometer. If your dryer’s taking two cycles to finish a load, the vent’s the first place to look. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alderwood Manor has exact pricing and turnaround times.
Duct Sealing in Alderwood Manor
Leaky ductwork in an Alderwood Manor crawlspace can lose 20 – 30% of heated air before it reaches the rooms above. We seal accessible joints and seams with mastic and reinforced tape, then pressure-test the system to verify the seal. This is especially valuable in homes where flex duct has pulled loose at collars or where rodent damage has opened new gaps. Sealing before cleaning, or as part of the same visit, keeps the air you’ve paid to heat inside the envelope. Duct Sealing in Alderwood Manor explains when sealing makes sense and when replacement is the smarter call.
