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 Fircrest, WA
Air duct cleaning in Fircrest typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Fircrest’s post-WWII housing stock and damp Puget Sound climate create conditions we don’t see in drier inland markets: original galvanized ductwork, chronic moisture intrusion, and mold loads that standard cleaning often misses. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews handle these Fircrest-specific problems with rotary brush systems from Rotobrush and negative-air machines from Nikro, backed by a written 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Fircrest Homes Are Different
Fircrest’s building boom after World War II filled the city with single-family ranch homes between 1945 and 1970. Most were built with galvanized steel ducts sized for gravity furnaces, not the forced-air systems homeowners run today. Those original ducts are narrower than modern specs, which means debris packs tighter and airflow struggles more than in newer construction.
The Puget Sound’s maritime climate adds another layer. Fircrest sits where cool, wet winters and high year-round humidity keep crawlspaces damp and condensation forming inside metal ductwork. We’ve pulled rust flakes and active mold from systems in the Fircrest Heights area where slope drainage fails and crawlspaces flood during heavy winter rains. That moisture pulls debris into the system and creates musty odors that vent cleaning alone won’t fix.
Many homes also have shallow, unlined crawlspaces typical of mid-century Puget Sound construction. Technicians need to work in tight quarters, and the job often requires antimicrobial treatment after the mechanical cleaning is done. This isn’t generic ductwork. It’s Fircrest ductwork, and it needs a crew that knows the difference.
Our Main Fircrest Services
These are the three services Fircrest homeowners call us about most. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and local conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Fircrest
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and HEPA vacuum, followed by negative-air extraction from Nikro equipment to pull loosened debris out of the home entirely. In Fircrest, we often find the original galvanized ducts have internal rust that traps dust and mold spores standard shop-vac methods can’t reach. We price the whole system before we start, not per vent, and we photograph the inside of your ducts before and after so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Fircrest covers the full process and current pricing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fircrest
Dryer vent cleaning in Fircrest runs from the back of the appliance to the exterior termination, using rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear lint buildup. Fircrest’s older homes often have longer vent runs through unconditioned crawlspaces or attics where condensation wets lint into dense, hazardous clogs. We check the full run for proper slope and intact termination, and we write the price down before any work starts. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fircrest has full details.
Duct Sealing in Fircrest
Duct sealing closes leaks in the supply and return plenums with mastic and specialized tape, stopping conditioned air from escaping into crawlspaces and attics. Fircrest’s original metal ducts are often jointed with failing tape or unsealed seams that bleed 20 – 30% of heated air into unconditioned spaces. We pressure-test the system, mark every leak, and seal it by the book under The Garrison Standard. Duct Sealing in Fircrest explains the full process and pricing.
