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 Shoreline, WA
Air duct cleaning in Shoreline typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The real challenge here isn’t dust alone – it’s the damp. Shoreline’s wet climate and older housing stock mean we regularly find mold-prone flex duct in crawlspaces and disconnected metal joints pulling in soil air. That’s why we price by the complete system, not by the vent, and we put that price in writing before any equipment enters your home. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Shoreline Homes Are Different
Shoreline sits in a narrow corridor between Puget Sound and Lake Washington where the air stays heavy with moisture eight months of the year. That humidity doesn’t stay outside. It seeps into crawlspaces, condenses inside ductwork, and creates conditions we rarely see in drier parts of the state.
Many Shoreline homes fall into two camps: post-war ranches in Richmond Highlands and Ridgecrest built with galvanized metal ductwork that’s now sixty-plus years old, and 1980s – 2000s townhomes and split-levels with flex duct that sags in damp crawlspaces. Both types suffer from the same problem – disconnected joints and gaps that pull in unconditioned, moisture-laden air. In Richmond Highlands especially, we regularly find original ductwork with separated seams in the crawlspace, drawing in damp soil air and rodent debris that circulates straight into the living space.
Unsealed crawlspaces are common here, and they’re a direct path for moisture and pests into the system. Where a home in Spokane might need duct cleaning every five to seven years for dust accumulation, Shoreline’s climate pushes that interval shorter for microbial concerns. We treat what we find with the same rigor we’d apply to a commercial job, using negative-air containment and rotary brush systems that don’t just move debris around.
Our Main Shoreline Services
Most Shoreline 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 Shoreline
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In Shoreline, this means paying special attention to flex duct runs in damp crawlspaces where mold and mildew collect on the interior liner. We photograph the before condition, treat microbial growth where found, and show you the after. Air Duct Cleaning in Shoreline covers full pricing and what’s included.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Shoreline
Dryer vents in Shoreline face a double load: frequent rain keeps ambient humidity high, and many vents run through crawlspaces or exterior walls with minimal slope, letting lint clump and stick. We pull the full lint column with a high-velocity skipper ball and inspect the termination for proper backdraft damper function. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Shoreline has full details and fire-safety notes specific to local construction.
Duct Sealing in Shoreline
Sealing is often the right follow-up to cleaning in Shoreline, where disconnected joints and deteriorated flex duct connections leak conditioned air into crawlspaces year-round. We use mastic and mechanical fasteners on metal duct, and replace crushed or separated flex runs with properly supported new material. Duct Sealing in Shoreline explains how we test leakage before and after, and what improvement to expect.
