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 Wauna, WA
Air duct cleaning in Wauna typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment with a written price locked in before work begins. Wauna’s waterfront position on the Key Peninsula creates conditions we don’t see inland: salt-laden marine air corrodes metal ductwork faster, and the mix of mid-century cabins and newer homes means every job requires a different approach. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews to Wauna from our Seattle office. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Wauna Homes Are Different
Wauna sits on the eastern shore of the Key Peninsula, where Puget Sound’s marine air carries salt that accelerates rust in metal ducts and corrodes HVAC components. We’ve opened systems in Wauna where the interior sheet metal showed pitting that would take years to develop in Tacoma or Olympia. That salt exposure means our technicians always inspect for corrosion during cleaning, not just dust buildup.
The housing stock here spans generations. You’ll find 1950s cabins with original galvanized ductwork, 1970s manufactured homes with flexible foil runs, and custom builds from the last decade with properly sized modern systems. Many properties rely on well water and septic, and crawlspaces are common, exposing ducts to groundwater, rodent activity, and the persistent humidity that feeds mold. Fall storms driving off the Sound can also force debris into exterior vents, creating blockages that restrict airflow until they’re cleared.
We don’t treat a Wauna job like a standard suburban clean. The Garrison Code requires we assess what kind of house we’re walking into before we quote, because the work varies that much.
Our Main Wauna Services
Wauna homeowners call us most often for these three services. Each has its own page with full details on what’s included, how we price it, and what to expect on the day of service.
Air Duct Cleaning in Wauna
We clean the full supply and return duct network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for agitation paired with Nikro negative-air machines to pull loosened debris out of the house. In Wauna, this job often starts with checking for salt corrosion on metal trunk lines and inspecting flexible ducts in crawlspaces for moisture damage. We photograph the interior before and after so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Wauna covers the complete process and pricing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wauna
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and Wauna’s mature trees plus fall storm debris mean exterior vent caps get blocked more often than inland locations. We run a rotary brush through the full vent run, from dryer to termination, and measure airflow before and after to confirm the restriction is gone. If the vent passes through a crawlspace, we check that section for moisture damage too. Full details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wauna page.
Duct Sealing in Wauna
Leaky ducts waste heated and cooled air into attics and crawlspaces, and in Wauna’s humid climate that leakage also draws moisture into the system. We seal accessible joints and seams with mastic and metal-backed tape, then pressure-test to verify the seal. This is especially valuable in older cabins where original ductwork was never properly sealed, and in manufactured homes where flex connections have loosened over years of vibration.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Wauna
No permit is required for standard air duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in unincorporated Pierce County, which includes Wauna. Duct sealing and minor repairs also typically fall outside permit requirements unless you’re altering the HVAC system’s capacity or routing. If your project does trigger a permit, we’ll flag it during the estimate and explain what applies. Call (361) 326-5060 to discuss your specific job.
We schedule Wauna appointments within a few days of your call, sometimes sooner depending on the season. Fall storm season and early spring tend to fill fastest because homeowners notice airflow problems after debris enters exterior vents. We do not promise same-day dispatch, but we do promise to arrive inside the quoted window and call ahead so you’re not waiting. Call (361) 326-5060 for current availability.
It doesn’t change the duct cleaning process itself, but it often means your home has a crawlspace where ducts are exposed to more moisture and potential pest intrusion than slab-on-grade construction. We check those conditions as part of our standard inspection and photograph anything that affects airflow or air quality. If we find standing water or rodent damage, we’ll show you and explain whether it needs addressing before or during the cleaning. Call (361) 326-5060 to book an estimate.
