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 Kenilworth, PA
Air duct cleaning in Kenilworth, PA 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 built our work around the conditions that make Kenilworth jobs genuinely different from standard suburban calls. The borough’s stock of 1920s – 1930s homes with original unlined galvanized ductwork, much of it retrofitted with central air in the 1960s – 1970s, means we routinely find rust flaking, crushed runs in tight attic chases, and decades of trapped debris that newer neighborhoods simply don’t present. Our crews arrive with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air equipment sized for these older systems, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Kenilworth Homes Are Different
Kenilworth’s housing stock shapes nearly every duct cleaning job we do here. The borough is predominantly early-20th-century single-family homes built in the 1920s and 1930s, with some post-WWII capes and ranches mixed in. Most still run on original galvanized or early rigid metal duct systems, many unlined and routed through unconditioned attics and crawl spaces.
That construction matters because Kenilworth sits in a humid continental climate zone with cold winters and sticky summers. Ducts in those unconditioned spaces cycle through condensation, rust, and temperature swings all year. When central air was added in the 1960s and 1970s, crews often squeezed equipment into tight attic chases on narrow borough lots, leaving crushed or disconnected runs that still restrict airflow today.
The post-1980s efficiency retrofits compound the problem. Sealing and insulating those old galvanized lines trapped existing debris against rusting interior walls. We regularly open systems here and find rust scale layered with dust that predates the current homeowner. Occasionally we encounter asbestos-laden insulation wraps that require careful handling. These aren’t hypotheticals; they’re what our technicians document on Kenilworth jobs.
Our Main Kenilworth Services
Most calls we get from Kenilworth homeowners fall into three categories, each with its own page and pricing details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kenilworth
Our whole-system cleaning uses a Rotobrush rotary brush system to agitate debris from duct walls, paired with a Nikro negative-air machine to pull it out of the home rather than redistribute it. In Kenilworth, we pay particular attention to rust flaking in unlined galvanized trunks and the crushed runs common in tight attic chases. We inspect with a camera before and after so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Kenilworth covers full pricing and what’s included.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kenilworth
Dryer vent blockages are a fire risk, and in Kenilworth’s older homes the vent runs are often longer and more convoluted than modern construction allows. We clear the full run from appliance to exterior termination, test airflow with a manometer, and flag any corrugated transition ducting that should be replaced with rigid metal. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kenilworth has the details.
Duct Sealing in Kenilworth
Sealing is often the right follow-up to cleaning in Kenilworth, where decades of rust and vibration have opened seams in galvanized systems. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to close leaks, then verify with a pressure test. This matters especially in homes where post-1980s sealing retrofits trapped debris; proper sealing after cleaning prevents recurrence. Duct Sealing in Kenilworth explains the process and pricing.
