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 Akron, NY
Air duct cleaning in Akron, NY typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price locked in before work begins. Akron’s century-old housing stock, lake-effect winters, and legacy ductwork buried in stone foundations make this a specialized job, not a standard vacuum-and-go. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews handle the rusted trunk lines, rodent debris, and disconnected runs that turn up regularly in this village’s pre-1940 homes. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Akron Homes Are Different
Akron is not the Ohio city. This is a small Erie County village where most homes went up between the 1880s and 1930s, and the ductwork shows it. We routinely find gravity-furnace-era metal trunk lines, retrofit flex duct crammed through plaster-and-lath walls, and supply runs routed across unheated rubble-stone basements with dirt floors. The original lots near Main Street and the village center hold Victorians and American Foursquares with full basements; the outskirts still have converted farm buildings and two-family homes with patchwork systems added over generations.
Western New York’s lake-effect winter runs furnaces hard from October through April, pulling dust, construction debris, and rodent nesting material through joints that were never sealed. Summer humidity off Lake Erie settles into basement ductwork, especially where runs pass through cool stone foundations. In Akron, cleaning the ducts without checking for disconnected runs behind plaster ceilings, or sealing the joints without addressing rust on metal in damp basements, misses the actual problem. Our technicians carry rotary brush systems and negative-air equipment sized for these tight, irregular spaces, and they photograph the before condition so you see what was in there.
Our Main Akron Services
Most Akron homeowners call us for one of three jobs: restoring airflow through legacy ductwork, clearing fire-risk dryer vents in older utility layouts, or sealing the leaks that waste heat in unheated basement runs.
Air Duct Cleaning in Akron
We clean supply and return ducts with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In Akron’s older homes, we expect to find rodent nests in trunk lines, rust flakes from damp basement metal, and plaster dust where previous owners cut openings through lathe. We photograph the interior before we start and after we finish. Air Duct Cleaning in Akron covers the full process, pricing, and what to expect on appointment day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Akron
Dryer vents in Akron’s century-old homes often run through thick plaster walls, across unheated basements, or up through multiple stories in converted farmhouses. Lint accumulates in the ridges of older flex pipe and in the elbows where routing was improvised. We clear the full run with rotary tools and airflow meters, then check the exterior termination for proper backdraft clearance. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Akron has details on fire prevention and scheduling.
Duct Sealing in Akron
Sealing is often the more urgent job in Akron, where unsealed joints in basement trunk lines bleed heated air into unconditioned space. We apply duct sealing mastic and reinforced tape at accessible joints, then pressure-test to verify the seal. In homes with dirt-floor crawlspaces or stone foundations, this stops the dust infiltration and temperature loss that make upstairs rooms cold and downstairs air stale. Duct Sealing in Akron explains how we price and perform this work.
