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 Auburn, WA
Auburn homeowners typically pay $350 – $650 for whole-house air duct cleaning, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The Green River Valley’s wet climate and flood history mean local ductwork often hides moisture-driven mold and post-renovation debris that drier inland markets rarely see. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews handle Auburn’s specific conditions with rotary brush systems from Rotobrush and negative-air machines from Nikro. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate before any work starts.
Why Auburn Homes Are Different
Auburn sits in the Green River Valley, where flood-prone soils and over 150 rainy days a year keep indoor humidity high. That moisture seeps into crawlspaces and basements, making ductwork susceptible to mold and mildew growth that simple dust removal won’t fix. We’ve found that many homes in Lea Hill and Lakeland Hills, built during the mid-century boom, still run on original galvanized or flexible ductwork that’s prone to buildup and occasional pest intrusion. Older mill-era houses near downtown carry decades of accumulated sawmill and aerospace manufacturing residue in their systems.
After major Green River floods, homeowners often discover their ductwork has become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. This isn’t a theoretical concern in Auburn; it’s a pattern we see after repeated flood repairs, when homeowners need post-renovation cleaning to remove construction dust and moisture that standard HVAC filters never catch. The newer construction near the Outlet Collection area presents different challenges, tighter building envelopes that trap humidity and concentrate whatever contaminants enter the system.
Our Main Auburn Services
These are the three jobs Auburn homeowners call us about most, each handled with The Garrison Standard: written price first, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job.
Air Duct Cleaning in Auburn
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system that agitates debris off duct walls, paired with a Nikro negative-air machine that pulls it out of your home rather than redistributing it. In Auburn, we pay special attention to mold-prone sections in crawlspaces and basements, and we document the work with before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Auburn covers whole-system cleaning, register and grille removal, and optional sanitization for flood-affected homes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Auburn
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and Auburn’s older housing stock often has vent runs that are too long, too bent, or vented into crawlspaces where moisture compounds the blockage. We clear the full run from dryer to termination, test airflow with a manometer, and verify the exterior damper operates freely. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Auburn typically takes 60 – 90 minutes and includes a written report on vent condition.
Duct Sealing in Auburn
Leaky ducts waste heated and cooled air into attics and crawlspaces, but in Auburn they also draw in mold spores and crawlspace moisture. We apply duct sealing mastic and metal-backed tape at joints and seams, then pressure-test the system to confirm sealed performance. Duct Sealing in Auburn is especially valuable for homes that have undergone flood repair, when disturbed ductwork often separates at connections.
