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 Hockinson, WA
Air duct cleaning in Hockinson runs $350 – $650 for a typical whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a few days and completed in three to five hours. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we’ve built our call volume in Hockinson around one thing: rural homes here face debris loads that suburban Vancouver crews rarely see. Between private wells, acreage lots, and HVAC intakes pulling in pollen from surrounding pasture and Douglas fir timber, the ductwork in a Hockinson home tells a different story than one on a city grid. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate, or read on for what we’ve learned serving this stretch of Clark County.
Why Hockinson Homes Are Different
Hockinson sits on the Cascade foothills fringe, an unincorporated rural community where most properties rely on private wells and septic systems rather than city utilities. The housing stock tilts heavily toward custom-built and manufactured homes from the 1980s through the early 2000s, many on 1 – 5 acre parcels with heat pumps or wood and pellet stoves as secondary heat sources. Detached shops and outbuildings often have their own ducted systems, doubling the maintenance footprint.
The Pacific Northwest maritime climate hits harder here than in nearby Vancouver. Damp winters, near-constant humidity, and crawlspace construction promote condensation inside duct runs, which feeds mold spores and dust-mite activity. Spring alder and grass pollen from surrounding fields and timber stands get drawn straight into HVAC intakes. We regularly find rodent nesting material, fir needles, and heavy pollen loads in return-air plenums – debris patterns far more common here than in tighter city lots. Older ranch homes from the 1970s predate modern flex-duct sealing standards, so leaky trunk lines and unsealed returns are routine findings.
Our Main Hockinson Services
Most calls we get from Hockinson fall into three categories. Each has its own page with full details, but here’s what the work looks like in this market.
Air Duct Cleaning in Hockinson
We clean the full supply and return network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for agitation, paired with Nikro negative-air machines to pull loosened debris out of the home entirely. In Hockinson, we often start with exterior intakes and return plenums because that’s where fir needles, pollen, and rodent evidence collect first. We photograph the before condition, clean every accessible run, and show you the after. Air Duct Cleaning in Hockinson covers full scope, pricing, and what to expect on appointment day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hockinson
Rural Hockinson properties frequently have longer vent runs to exterior walls, sometimes through unconditioned crawlspaces or attic chases where lint accumulates in low spots. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear the full line, then verify airflow with a meter. Longer runs and bird or rodent nesting in exterior terminations are common here. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hockinson has the full breakdown.
Duct Sealing in Hockinson
Many Hockinson homes built before the mid-1990s have trunk lines and returns that were never properly sealed at the joints. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to close gaps that leak conditioned air into crawlspaces and attics. On homes with heat pumps, this directly affects efficiency because the system can’t maintain setpoint when half the airflow never reaches the rooms. Duct Sealing in Hockinson explains how we test and verify results.

What pushes Hockinson prices toward the higher end: multiple systems in detached buildings, heavy debris requiring extra agitation time, and access issues in crawlspaces with standing moisture or tight clearances. What doesn’t move the price: showing up at your door. We write the full price down before any work starts, and that number is fixed. No per-vent add-ons, no “discovered problems” once we’re inside. The Garrison Standard requires it.
