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 Lake Shore, WA
Full-system air duct cleaning in Lake Shore, WA typically runs $350 – $650 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in one visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to Lake Shore from our Seattle office. Lake Shore’s mix of salt-air waterfront cottages and heat-pump-heavy inland colonials creates duct problems you won’t find in inland suburbs. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Lake Shore Homes Are Different
Lake Shore sits between the Magothy and Patapsco rivers, and that water shapes every duct system we touch. The mid-century brick ranchers and split-levels along the shoreline were built with sheet-metal ductwork that has spent sixty-plus years breathing salt-laden, humid bay air. After named storms or extreme high tides, we’ve found tide-line staining on ducts in crawlspaces under waterfront homes. Water wicks into flex connections and fiberglass insulation, so the real problem isn’t always dust buildup, it’s flood-soaked, moldy ductwork that needs inspection before any cleaning starts.
Inland, the story shifts. The 1990s and 2000s colonials on wooded lots off Mountain Road and Solley Road run multi-zone systems with heat pumps working overtime through humid Chesapeake summers. Those oversized duct networks collect condensation in ways that simpler systems don’t. No neighboring city mixes tidal flood exposure and heat-pump-heavy new construction the way Lake Shore does. We adjust our inspection checklist for both conditions before we quote.
Our Main Lake Shore Services
Most Lake Shore homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Shore
We clean supply and return ducts with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air machines that pull loosened debris out of the system rather than pushing it into your living space. In Lake Shore, we always start by checking crawlspace duct runs for moisture staining or compromised insulation, especially in waterfront ranchers. The price is written before we begin.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Shore
Dryer vent blockages are a fire hazard, and Lake Shore’s humid air makes lint cling to duct walls more stubbornly than in drier climates. We run a rotary brush through the full vent line to the exterior cap and measure airflow before and after. If your dryer sits in a garage or utility room with a long horizontal run, that configuration needs more frequent attention. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Shore
Duct Sealing in Lake Shore
We seal leaking duct joints with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test the system to verify results. In Lake Shore’s older waterfront homes, we often find separations at sheet-metal connections that have corroded from salt air. In newer colonials, poorly sealed takeoffs from the main trunk bleed conditioned air into attics and crawlspaces. Either way, sealed ducts cut energy waste and even out room temperatures.
