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 Federal Way, WA
Air duct cleaning in Federal Way typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We price by the system, not by the vent, and we write that price down before any equipment touches your home. Federal Way’s mix of 1960s ramblers and newer townhomes means no two duct systems are alike, and the damp Puget Sound marine air keeps our crews busy with moisture-related calls year-round. If you’re ready to book, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Federal Way Homes Are Different
Federal Way sits in the Puget Sound lowland where marine air and winter dampness combine with a housing stock that spans 1960s ramblers to newer multi-family builds. Many ducts in the older stock are undersized and prone to condensation, so cleaning often involves addressing moisture and mold concerns unique to this damp, tree-heavy suburb.
In the neighborhoods around Steel Lake and along Pacific Highway South, many 1960s-70s homes have original ductwork installed with minimal insulation. The damp marine air often leads to musty odors and visible mold growth near vents, a pattern our local techs recognize immediately. Much of the city was built out from the 1960s through the 1990s, with single-family ramblers and split-levels featuring original galvanized or early flexible ductwork. The growing number of 2000s-era townhome and apartment complexes brings tighter, more complex duct runs that demand different equipment and approach.
The climate here is wet and mild in winter, relatively dry in summer, but the prolonged dampness means mold and mildew remain recurring concerns in older systems even during the drier months.
Our Main Federal Way Services
These are the three services Federal Way homeowners call us about most. Each has its own page with full details on pricing, process, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Federal Way
We clean the full supply and return ductwork using a rotary brush system to dislodge buildup, followed by negative-air extraction to pull debris out of the home entirely. In Federal Way, we often find condensation staining and light mold in the galvanized trunk lines of 1970s ramblers, especially in homes near Steel Lake where tree cover limits sun exposure and extends drying time. We document the condition with before-and-after photos you can see. Air Duct Cleaning in Federal Way
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Federal Way
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint accumulation from the transition duct through the exterior termination, reducing fire risk and improving drying efficiency. Federal Way’s mature neighborhoods with dense tree canopy, particularly around Dash Point and the West Campus area, see more exterior vent blockages from debris and nesting activity. We run a rotary brush and high-velocity air through the full line, then verify airflow at the termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Federal Way
Duct Sealing in Federal Way
Duct sealing closes leaks in the supply and return plenums, trunk lines, and branch runs using mastic sealant and metal-backed tape where appropriate. Federal Way’s older homes with original flexible ductwork often show separation at joints and crushed sections in crawl spaces that have settled over decades. Sealing these leaks improves airflow to distant rooms and reduces the load on your HVAC system. Duct Sealing in Federal Way
