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 Prairie Heights, WA
Air duct cleaning in Prairie Heights typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The real challenge here isn’t the cleaning itself; it’s the legacy of cheap foreclosure-era cleanings that left construction debris and mold behind in the early-2000s tract housing that dominates this market. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we source-remove what’s actually in your ducts, document it with photos, and put our price in writing before we touch anything. If you’re ready to talk through what your system needs, call us at (361) 326-5060.
Why Prairie Heights Homes Are Different
Prairie Heights sits in the South Puget Sound lowlands, and that geography shapes every duct job we do here. The cool, wet winters drive humidity into unsealed duct runs, where condensation feeds biological growth in fiberglass duct board and flex-duct cavities. Come July, those same ducts are moving dry, dusty air loaded with pollen from the surrounding grasslands. The seasonal swing means we’re often cleaning systems that have both mold residue and compacted summer dust in different zones of the same house.
The housing stock is nearly all single-family tract homes built between 1998 and 2010: tight attics, long flex-duct runs, builder-grade sheet-metal trunks, and original fiberglass duct board that collects drywall dust from original construction plus whatever rodents have tracked through. A smaller pocket of 1970s split-levels and early-1990s apartments brings its own headaches, mostly return-plenum restrictions and furnace-filter grille leaks that bypass the filter entirely.
Then there’s the foreclosure legacy. Around the golf-course developments and former mill neighborhoods, banks ordered cut-rate “blow-and-go” cleanings after the 2008 crash so properties would photograph clean. Those jobs moved surface dust but left construction debris, rodent nesting material, and mold spores deep in the system. We still find it. Homeowners fire up their AC on the first hot day and get a visible dust plume through the registers, the debris jarred loose by airflow it hasn’t seen in months.
Prairie Heights’s tech-commuter demographic expects something different now: docu-signable scopes, photo reports, and a written price that doesn’t shift when the truck arrives. We built our process around that expectation.
Our Main Prairie Heights Services
Most Prairie Heights homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and local specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Prairie Heights
We clean the full supply and return network with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In Prairie Heights, that means addressing the compacted drywall dust in original fiberglass duct board and the mold staining we find in unsealed boots from wet winters. We photo-document before and after, and we run a post-cleaning inspection so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Prairie Heights covers full pricing and what to expect on the day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Prairie Heights
Dryer vent blockages are a genuine fire hazard, and Prairie Heights’s longer vent runs through tight attics or crawl spaces make them harder to clear than a simple wall-vent job. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to remove lint compaction from the full run, then verify airflow at the exterior termination. If your dryer’s taking two cycles or you smell burning lint, this is the call to make. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Prairie Heights has the full breakdown.
Duct Sealing in Prairie Heights
Unsealed ducts leak conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces, and in Prairie Heights’s tight-duct homes, those leaks are often at the boots and trunk connections where fiberglass meets sheet metal. We seal with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test to verify the improvement. For homes with chronic humidity issues or rooms that never reach temperature, this often matters more than cleaning. Duct Sealing in Prairie Heights explains when sealing beats cleaning, and vice versa.
