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 Edgewood, MD
Full-system air duct cleaning in Edgewood typically runs $400 – $700 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in one visit. What makes Edgewood different from other Harford County markets is the combination of aging military-era housing stock, persistent humidity off the Bush River, and airborne particulate drift from Aberdeen Proving Ground operations. We dispatch crews from our Baltimore office and serve Edgewood homes with the same equipment we use on commercial jobs: Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary systems. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Edgewood Homes Are Different
Edgewood sits in a low-lying pocket between the Bush River and Chesapeake Bay tributaries, where relative humidity stays elevated through both hot summers and damp winters. That moisture loads the ductwork in ways drier inland markets simply don’t see. We’ve opened systems in Edgewood homes and found microbial growth coating the interior of galvanized trunk lines that haven’t been touched since the 1970s.
Much of the housing here was built for Aberdeen Proving Ground personnel, post-WWII duplexes and small ranches that transitioned to civilian ownership with their original duct systems intact. Those early galvanized runs and first-generation flex duct trap debris more aggressively than modern smooth-wall designs, and the seams are entry points for rodents. Crews regularly find acorns, nesting material, and droppings in duct runs backing onto wooded edges near APG, where mice and squirrels push through deteriorated seals when temperatures drop.
The other factor is APG itself. Operations at the proving ground put fine particulates and chemical residue into the air column that moves southeast over Edgewood. That material settles in ductwork over time, compounding the standard dust load with residue homeowners elsewhere don’t face. Cleaning here means addressing both the biological buildup from humidity and the particulate layer from proximity to active military testing.
Our Main Edgewood Services
Edgewood homeowners call us most often for these three jobs. Each has its own page with full detail on pricing, process, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Edgewood
We clean the full supply and return network with a negative-air method: a Nikro vacuum pulls continuous suction at 4,000+ CFM while a Rotobrush rotary whip dislodges debris from the duct walls. In Edgewood, this matters more than in drier markets because the humidity-caked layer inside older galvanized lines won’t release with suction alone. The brush mechanical action breaks the bond. We seal every access point with mastic when we’re done, not tape that will fail in the next humid season. Air Duct Cleaning in Edgewood covers the full process and what we find in local homes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Edgewood
Dryer vent blockages in Edgewood often include lint packed with the same airborne particulate that settles in HVAC ducts. We run a rotary brush through the full vent run to the exterior cap, then verify airflow with an anemometer. For homes with the original through-wall venting common in post-war duplexes, we inspect the wall cavity termination for corrosion or nesting. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Edgewood has pricing and scheduling detail.
Duct Sealing in Edgewood
Sealing is the fix for the pressure leaks that let Edgewood’s humid outside air into the system and conditioned air into the attic or crawl. We apply mastic sealant to every accessible joint and register boot, then pressure-test the system to verify the seal held. For the flex duct common in 1970s – 90s Edgewood subdivisions, we replace deteriorated sections rather than patch them. Duct Sealing in Edgewood explains when sealing is the right call versus full replacement.

What pushes Edgewood prices toward the high end: multiple HVAC systems, original galvanized duct that requires extra access cuts, rodent contamination requiring antimicrobial treatment, and extended dryer vent runs through finished walls. What doesn’t move the price: showing up and finding “more vents than expected.” We count everything during the estimate, put one flat price per system in writing before we start, and that number is the number.
