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 Lynn, MA
Air duct cleaning in Lynn typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve learned that Lynn’s triple-deckers and mill-era homes demand a different approach than standard suburban construction. The galvanized steel ductwork common in the Highlands and Diamond District often carries decades of coal dust, rust, and mold from damp basements. Our crews use Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines to pull that legacy debris out without damaging fragile old ducts. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Lynn Homes Are Different
Lynn’s housing stock sets it apart from every nearby town. The triple-deckers built between 1880 and 1920 dominate neighborhoods from the Highlands to downtown, and their original galvanized steel ductwork was never designed for modern forced-air systems. Many were retrofitted decades ago with undersized runs that sit in damp basements or crawl spaces, collecting rust and mold through humid summers and cold, damp winters.
The coastal climate here accelerates what we see inland. Humidity rolls in off the Atlantic, condenses in unsealed duct joints, and creates the musty odors Lynn residents describe when they call. In the Diamond District, we regularly find coal dust layered in returns, a remnant of the city’s industrial heating past that standard brushes won’t touch. That history requires specialized agitation and HEPA containment, not a shop-vac and a prayer.
Building codes evolved later here than in Boston proper, so many systems lack proper returns or sealed connections. We price that complexity in writing before we start, so you’re not surprised by what we find behind the register.
Our Main Lynn Services
Most calls from Lynn fall into three categories. Each has its own page with full detail on what we do and what it costs.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lynn
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system that scrubs duct walls while a Nikro negative-air machine pulls loosened debris into HEPA filtration. In Lynn’s older homes, we often encounter collapsed flex lines, rusted galvanized runs, and registers painted shut by generations of tenants. We document conditions with before photos, clean what can be safely cleaned, and flag what needs repair. Air Duct Cleaning in Lynn covers full pricing and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lynn
Lynn’s triple-deckers stack laundry in basements or cramped utility closets, with vent runs that travel 20 – 30 feet through walls before exiting. Lint accumulates in horizontal sections and elbows, creating fire hazards that standard homeowner brushes can’t reach. We use rotary whip systems and inspection cameras to clear the full run and verify airflow at the termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lynn has the details.
Duct Sealing in Lynn
Sealing is often the missing piece in Lynn’s older systems. We apply mastic sealant and metal-backed tape to joints and connections, then test with a duct blaster to verify leakage reduction. In homes with unsealed returns pulling from basements, this stops the musty air that cleaning alone can’t fix. Duct Sealing in Lynn explains when sealing matters more than another cleaning.
