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 Lochearn, MD
Air duct cleaning in Lochearn typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-house system, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days. We dispatch from our Baltimore office and serve Lochearn directly, which means crews arrive understanding the local housing stock: mid-century ranches and split-levels with aging galvanized steel or early flex ductwork that needs more than a surface vacuum. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Lochearn Homes Are Different
Lochearn sits in the Mid-Atlantic’s humid subtropical zone, where hot, sticky summers push air conditioners hard and long shoulder seasons leave windows open to pollen, mold spores, and fine Baltimore-area particulate. That humidity plus winter heating cycles bakes dust onto coils and exchangers, so ducts here foul faster than in drier climates.
The housing tells the rest of the story. The Liberty Road corridor and streets off Milford Mill Road are dominated by 1950s – 1970s brick-and-siding ranches, split-levels, and two-story colonials, many with full unfinished basements and either crawlspaces or slabs. Original ductwork is often galvanized steel or early flex, routed through damp basements or unconditioned attics where condensation and rodent activity are common. In the older homes, basement return-air chases built into original masonry still hold decades of coal-dust residue, a gray-black soot that standard vacuuming won’t touch and that homeowners regularly mistake for mold.
By the time we arrive, that original ductwork is frequently unsealed, wrapped in disintegrating fiberglass, or retrofitted with poorly connected flex. A cleaning here is rarely just a cleaning. It’s usually the first thorough look at a system that’s been leaking into attics and crawlspaces for 50-plus years.
Our Main Lochearn Services
Lochearn homeowners call us most often for three jobs, each with its own page and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lochearn
We clean supply and return ducts with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling loosened debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In Lochearn, we often start by addressing coal-dust residue in basement masonry chases before moving to attic flex runs that have collected decades of particulate. Every job gets a written price upfront and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in Lochearn
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lochearn
Dryer vent blockages are common in Lochearn’s older homes where original vent routing runs through unfinished basements or long exterior walls. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, check for proper airflow, and note any code issues with the original setup. The price is written before we start, and if lint buildup has damaged the vent, we explain the repair scope before adding work. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lochearn
Duct Sealing in Lochearn
With original ductwork leaking heavily into unconditioned spaces, Lochearn homes often need sealing more than cleaning alone. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to joints and seams, then pressure-test the system to verify results. This is where we find and fix the root cause of the dust and temperature swings homeowners have been living with. Duct Sealing in Lochearn
