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 Sultan, WA
Air duct cleaning in Sultan, WA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and should address both wildfire smoke residue and wood-ash buildup that standard cleaning misses. Most jobs take 3 – 5 hours and require rotary brush or negative-air methods to dislodge the fine particulate that settles in older metal ductwork here. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we dispatch crews from our Seattle office to serve Sultan directly, and we write the price down before any equipment enters your home. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Sultan Homes Are Different
Sultan sits in the Skykomish River valley where surrounding timber and brush burn regularly, and that smoke gets pulled straight into homes through outdoor air intakes and leaky ductwork. After a nearby fire, our technicians often find a gray film of ash coating return ducts and the blower compartment, even when the homeowner has been running a newer filter. Most local homes also rely on wood stoves for winter heat, so duct systems collect fine ash and soot that standard cleaning rarely addresses.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Much of Sultan was built before 1980, single-family homes and manufactured homes with original rigid metal ductwork that has loose joints and no sealed boots. Many sit on crawlspaces with uninsulated flex duct that has been patched or crushed over the years. Heavy winter rain and occasional flooding along the Skykomish drive indoor humidity up, which can lead to mold inside ductwork. Spring pollen from surrounding forests and grass seed fields is intense, and summer wildfire smoke from the Cascades pushes residents to run HVAC with windows closed, trapping particles in the ducts.
Our Main Sultan Services
These are the three services Sultan homeowners call us about most, each handled with The Garrison Standard of written pricing and our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sultan
We clean the full supply and return system using a Rotobrush rotary brush or Nikro negative-air machine, depending on whether your home has rigid metal ducts or crushed flex runs in the crawlspace. In Sultan, we always inspect for wildfire ash film and wood-stove soot that standard brush passes can leave behind. The job includes the blower compartment, registers, and main trunk lines. Air Duct Cleaning in Sultan covers what to expect and how we price it.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sultan
Dryer vents in Sultan’s older homes often run through unconditioned crawlspaces or exterior walls with multiple bends, and lint buildup is accelerated by the damp winter air. We use rotary brush systems and high-velocity air tools to clear the full run from appliance to termination, then verify airflow with a meter. Blocked vents are a leading cause of house fires, and in a valley with limited fire department response, prevention matters. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sultan has full details.
Duct Sealing in Sultan
With original metal ductwork and unsealed boots common in Sultan homes, conditioned air leaks into crawlspaces before it reaches the rooms. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners at joints, then test with a pressure pan to confirm the seal holds. Sealing is often the right follow-up to cleaning, especially after we’ve exposed loose connections during the brush pass. Duct Sealing in Sultan explains the process and pricing.
