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 Arlington, WA
Air duct cleaning in Arlington, WA typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in one visit. Arlington’s mix of aging ranch homes and newer subdivisions creates unique challenges: original flex ductwork in 1960s – 1980s houses degrades faster under extreme attic heat, while spring pollen from surrounding grasslands drives heavy allergen buildup. We dispatch crews from our Seattle office and serve Arlington homeowners with the same equipment and standards we bring to every job in Snohomish County. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Arlington Homes Are Different
Arlington sits at the edge of the Stillaguamish River Valley, where the transition from farmland to suburban development left a housing stock split between mid-century ranches along Highway 530 and the newer subdivisions near Bryant and Arlington Heights. The older ranch homes, many built between 1960 and 1985, were originally fitted with flex duct in unconditioned attics. Those attics hit 140°F or higher on summer afternoons, and the combination of that heat plus our wet Pacific Northwest winters causes the inner liner to delaminate and shed fibers into the air supply.
Spring brings another Arlington-specific problem. The grasslands and agricultural fields surrounding the city generate heavy pollen loads from grass, oak, and ragweed that get pulled straight into return vents. We regularly find return plenums in Arlington homes caked with a mat of pollen and dust that simple filter changes won’t touch. Add the rodent activity common in areas near the river corridor, and you get crushed or disconnected duct sections that need repair, not just cleaning.
Humidity is the final factor. Arlington’s location in the Puget Sound lowlands means higher year-round moisture than areas east of the Cascades. That moisture condenses in cool attic ductwork and creates the conditions for mold growth on the fiberglass lining of older flex duct. Cleaning helps, but we’re always upfront when we find duct that has degraded past the point of cleaning and needs replacement.
Our Main Arlington Services
Arlington homeowners call us most often for these three services. Each has its own page with full details on what the job covers, how we price it, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush system that scrubs the interior walls of each branch line, paired with a Nikro negative-air machine that pulls dislodged debris out of the house entirely. In Arlington, we pay special attention to return plenums overloaded with spring pollen and to flex duct runs that may have developed leaks at the seams. Every job gets a written price before we start and a full walkthrough after. Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington has complete pricing and scope details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington
Dryer vent cleaning in Arlington addresses a fire risk that builds silently. Lint accumulation restricts airflow, forces the dryer to run longer, and can ignite in the exhaust path. We clean the full run from the back of the dryer to the exterior termination, using rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools. In Arlington’s older homes, we often find vent runs that are too long, have too many elbows, or terminate in crawl spaces against code. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington covers what we check and how we price it.
Duct Sealing in Arlington
Duct sealing closes the leaks that waste heated and cooled air in Arlington’s unconditioned attics and crawl spaces. We use mastic sealant and mechanical fasteners at joints and connections, then pressure-test the system to verify results. In Arlington’s 1960s – 1980s homes, we frequently find original duct tape that has dried and failed, leaving gaps that pull attic air directly into the living space. Duct Sealing in Arlington explains our process and what improvement you can expect.
