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 Wilmington, MA
Full-system air duct cleaning in Wilmington typically runs $350 – $650 for a standard single-family home, with dryer vent cleaning at $120 – $200 and duct sealing from $800 – $1,800 depending on system size. Because Wilmington sits in the Middlesex Fells pollen corridor and much of its housing stock dates to the 1950s – 1970s, we see a predictable surge of calls the first week the mercury hits 70 degrees. Homeowners fire up dormant AC and get hit with musty, pollen-heavy air from ducts that sat stagnant all winter. If your vents are pushing that first warm-weather blast, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Wilmington Homes Are Different
Wilmington’s oak and pine canopy creates one of the heaviest spring pollen loads in Middlesex County. When heating systems finally shut off after six or seven months of continuous winter run time, the accumulated dust, pet dander, and combustion byproducts sit undisturbed. Then the humidity arrives. That combination, dormant debris plus sudden moisture, is why we find mold-prone conditions in so many Wilmington systems that weren’t cleaned before the AC season.
The housing stock matters too. Most neighborhoods built during the post-war boom, areas like Silver Lake and North Wilmington, have ranch and split-level homes with original galvanized ductwork or flex-duct retrofits from the 1980s and 90s. Those flex ducts trap debris in their corrugations where rotary brushes struggle to reach without proper technique. In the historic town center, some capes still run on gravity-furnace-era ducting never engineered for modern forced-air airflow. We adjust our approach, equipment, and time estimate based on what we find, and we price it in writing before we touch anything.
Our Main Wilmington Services
Wilmington homeowners call us most often for these three jobs. Each has its own page with full detail on what we do, what it costs, and how we handle Wilmington’s specific conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Wilmington
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and, where accessible, negative-air extraction with Nikro equipment. In Wilmington, we pay special attention to flex-duct retrofits common in 1970s splits; their corrugated walls hold pollen and dander that straight metal ducting doesn’t. We also inspect for mold after long winter heating runs. Every job gets a written price upfront and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in Wilmington has full pricing and scope detail.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wilmington
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a genuine fire hazard, and Wilmington’s older ranch homes often have long vent runs through crawl spaces or exterior walls that sag and trap moisture. We pull the dryer, inspect the full run with a camera when needed, and clear blockages with rotary tools and high-pressure air. We also check for improper venting to attics or crawl spaces, common in 1960s-era construction. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wilmington explains what’s included and what we charge.
Duct Sealing in Wilmington
Leaky ducts in Wilmington’s unconditioned basements and crawl spaces waste 20 – 30% of heated and cooled air. We seal accessible joints and seams with mastic and specialized tape, then pressure-test to verify improvement. This matters most in homes with original galvanized trunk lines where seams have worked loose over decades. Sealing is often the right move after cleaning, when you can see exactly where the leaks are. Duct Sealing in Wilmington covers when it makes sense and what results to expect.
