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 Brooklyn, NY
Air duct cleaning in Brooklyn typically costs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system and requires technicians who understand pre-war construction, not just standard suburban layouts. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our Brooklyn operation around the reality that most local homes weren’t designed for modern HVAC, let alone modern duct cleaning equipment. Our crews use Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines sized for tight Brooklyn basements and irregular duct runs. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Brooklyn Homes Are Different
Brooklyn’s housing stock demands a different playbook than standard residential duct cleaning. The borough is dominated by pre-war walk-ups built before 1940, with original galvanized steel ductwork hidden behind plaster walls and many brownstones converted from gravity furnaces to forced air. Those conversions left irregular, leaky systems that collect debris in corners no straight-run brush can reach.
The local climate compounds the problem. Humid summers and cold winters create ideal conditions for mold growth in ductwork, especially in basements that flood during heavy rainstorms. In Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights, we’ve opened gravity furnace ducts that haven’t been cleaned since the 1920s and found layers of coal dust mixed with deteriorating asbestos tape. That requires HEPA containment and careful sequencing, not a quick vacuum-and-go.
Coastal neighborhoods like Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay add salt-air corrosion to the list. We’ve replaced rusted register boots in those areas that inland crews rarely see. Every Brooklyn job starts with a walk-through to identify what era of construction we’re dealing with, because the tools and safety protocol change accordingly.
Our Main Brooklyn Services
Most Brooklyn homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with detailed pricing and process information.
Air Duct Cleaning in Brooklyn
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Brooklyn service covers the full supply and return system, from main trunk lines to individual room registers. In Brooklyn, this often means navigating painted-over galvanized steel ducts in pre-war buildings and working around asbestos-wrapped plenums that can’t be disturbed. We use Rotobrush rotary brushes for mechanical agitation paired with Nikro negative-air machines to pull debris out of the home entirely, not just redistribute it. Every job gets a written price upfront and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brooklyn
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brooklyn service addresses one of the leading fire hazards in multi-family housing. Brooklyn’s older buildings often have dryer vents routed through walls with multiple bends, or terminating in shared shafts that clog faster than straight exterior runs. We clean the full vent path from dryer to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and note any code violations we find. Background-checked, uniformed technicians; written price before work begins.
Duct Sealing in Brooklyn
Our Duct Sealing in Brooklyn service targets the leaky joints and disconnected runs common in converted brownstone systems. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to restore pressure balance, which matters enormously in buildings where one floor roasts while another freezes. In Brooklyn’s post-war brick apartments with undersized ducts, sealing often improves airflow more than cleaning alone. Price is agreed in writing before any sealant goes on.
