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 Kirkland, WA
Air duct cleaning in Kirkland typically runs $450 – $750 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve learned that Kirkland’s damp marine climate and aging housing stock make this work different from anywhere else in Washington. Our crews operate under The Garrison Standard: written price before we start, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Kirkland Homes Are Different
Kirkland sits in a damp Pacific Northwest marine climate where mild, rainy winters and pollen-heavy springs push many homeowners to keep windows closed and rely on forced-air systems. That makes duct cleaning here about moisture, mold spores, and cedar or pollen residue rather than the desert dust you’d fight in Spokane or the dry heat of Yakima.
The city’s housing mix complicates every job. In Juanita, Rose Hill, and Finn Hill, we regularly enter 1960s-70s split-levels and ramblers with original galvanized ductwork routed through unsealed crawlspaces. Techs routinely find rodent debris and damp insulation fibers being drawn into supply air, something you rarely see in tighter construction east of Willows Road. Meanwhile, Bridle Trails, Houghton, and downtown Kirkland near Lake Washington have 1990s-2000s Craftsman and contemporary infill with modern flex duct, tight returns, and whole-house filtration systems. The crawlspaces stay humid year-round, so condensation and musty odors are common complaints we trace back to duct leaks and poor drainage.
Spring brings another Kirkland-specific load: heavy cedar, alder, and grass pollen pulled into return air and deposited throughout the system. We size our negative-air machines and rotary brush systems accordingly.
Our Main Kirkland Services
Most Kirkland homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and neighborhood-specific notes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kirkland
We clean supply and return ducts with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling debris toward the vacuum rather than pushing it into your living space. In Kirkland’s older Juanita and Finn Hill homes, we often start by addressing decades of DIY return modifications, original galvanized runs, and crawlspace moisture damage before the main cleaning begins.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kirkland
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a genuine fire hazard, and Kirkland’s humidity makes clumps stick to duct walls longer than in drier climates. We run a rotary brush and high-velocity vacuum from the exterior cap to the appliance connection, measuring airflow before and after. Homes with long vent runs through crawlspaces, common in Rose Hill split-levels, need this more often than shorter through-wall routes. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kirkland
Duct Sealing in Kirkland
Leaky ducts waste heated and cooled air into attics and crawlspaces, and in Kirkland’s humid conditions, they also draw in mold spores and rodent debris. We seal accessible joints with mastic and apply aerosolized sealant where manual work won’t reach. This is often the right follow-up to cleaning in homes where the real problem is infiltration, not just dirty ducts. Duct Sealing in Kirkland
