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 Vancouver, WA
Air duct cleaning in Vancouver, WA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What makes Vancouver different from other Pacific Northwest markets is the combination of wet-season mold growth inside ductwork and fine volcanic ash from Mount St. Helens still circulating in older homes. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we price every job in writing before we start, and every visit is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Vancouver Homes Are Different
Vancouver’s housing stock tells the story. Neighborhoods like Bagley Downs and North Image are packed with 1950s – 1980s tract homes and ranches, many still running original unsealed galvanized or flexible ductwork that traps moisture, construction debris, and ash. Downtown and the west side have older 1920s – 1940s bungalows with short retrofit duct runs that were never designed for modern HVAC loads. Even newer areas like Fisher’s Landing, built with tighter systems, still pull in fine glacial silt from the Columbia River corridor.
The climate seals the problem. Months of marine rain and high indoor humidity create ideal conditions for mold and mildew inside ductwork, especially where attic ventilation is poor. Our technicians regularly find black mold colonies growing on the inside of flexible duct runs after wet winters, particularly in east-side ranches. Then dry, windy summers stir up residual 1980 Mount St. Helens ash and fresh glacial flour, which gets pulled into return-air systems and shows up as fine gray grit in plenums and crawlspace ducts. This isn’t generic dust removal. Vancouver duct cleaning means addressing mold remediation and volcanic ash extraction in systems that were often never properly sealed to begin with.
Our Main Vancouver Services
We handle three core services for Vancouver homeowners, each with its own dedicated page and local pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Vancouver
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Vancouver service uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract mold, ash, and built-up debris from your supply and return lines. In Vancouver’s older homes, we often find flexible ductwork that has collapsed in sections or separated at joints, which we flag before we start so you’re not paying to clean air that’s leaking into your attic. Every job gets a written price upfront and before-and-after photos of your own ducts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Vancouver
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Vancouver service clears lint buildup that the marine climate turns dense and compacted, especially in longer vent runs common in split-level ranches. Blocked vents are a genuine fire hazard, and in Vancouver’s wet winters, moisture trapped with lint accelerates corrosion in metal venting. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination and test airflow before we leave.
Duct Sealing in Vancouver
Our Duct Sealing in Vancouver service addresses the root cause of many local problems: unsealed joints and gaps that pull mold spores, ash, and attic insulation into your air stream. We use mastic sealant and mechanical fastening, not tape that degrades, to close leaks in galvanized, flexible, or fiberboard ductwork. For homes with significant leakage, sealing often pays for itself in reduced heating and cooling load within two to three seasons.
