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 Irondale, GA
Air duct cleaning in Irondale, GA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price locked in before work begins. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve learned that jobs here aren’t like jobs in drier parts of the metro. Irondale’s humidity, older housing stock, and history of flooding near the South River mean we find mold, mildew, and pest debris in ductwork more often than in newer, drier suburbs. Our crew uses Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines to pull that contamination out, not just move it around. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Irondale Homes Are Different
Irondale sits in a pocket of Clayton County where the South River and its tributaries create low-lying drainage patterns that don’t dry out fast. After heavy rains, we regularly find homeowners in neighborhoods near the river dealing with water in crawlspaces, and that moisture wicks into ductwork through seams, boots, and rusted plenums. The humid subtropical climate here doesn’t let up: summers stay sticky, winters stay mild, and year-round humidity keeps mold spores active inside ducts long after the floodwater recedes.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Many Irondale homes are mid-century ranch-style builds with original galvanized or early flex duct that’s past its intended lifespan. That older material tears more easily, collects more debris, and provides better harborage for rodents and insects than modern duct board. Newer subdivisions have better materials, but they’re not immune: tight construction traps humidity, and we’ve found mold in systems less than ten years old when drainage or vapor barriers failed. We don’t guess at what we’ll find. We inspect with a camera, show the homeowner, and write the price before we start.
Our Main Irondale Services
Most calls we get from Irondale fall into three categories: full system cleaning, dryer vent clearing, and duct sealing to stop the leaks that let humidity and pests inside.
Air Duct Cleaning in Irondale
We clean the full supply and return network, from the air handler to each register, using a Rotobrush rotary brush system that scrubs the duct walls while a Nikro negative-air machine pulls loosened debris into a sealed HEPA-filtered collector. In Irondale, we often start by checking for standing water or mold staining in the plenum, especially in homes near the South River that have seen repeated flooding. If we find active mold, we treat with an EPA-registered disinfectant before the mechanical cleaning begins. Air Duct Cleaning in Irondale is priced by the system, not by the vent, and we put that price in writing before we touch anything.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irondale
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and in Irondale’s humidity, that lint can mat and compact more densely than in drier climates. We run a rotary brush and high-velocity vacuum through the full vent run, whether it exits through the roof, the sidewall, or a crawlspace. For homes with longer vent runs or multiple elbows, common in ranch-style layouts here, we verify airflow with an anemometer before we leave. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irondale takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and we include a written report of what we removed.
Duct Sealing in Irondale
Leaky ducts pull humid crawlspace air into the system, which is why some Irondale homeowners smell mustiness every time the AC kicks on. We seal accessible seams and joints with mastic and reinforced mesh, then pressure-test the system to verify the seal held. For larger gaps or disconnected runs, we may recommend partial replacement. Duct Sealing in Irondale is often the right follow-up to cleaning, because clean ducts that still leak will re-contaminate quickly.
