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 West Little River, FL
Most air duct cleaning in West Little River runs $300 – $600 for a standard single-system home, with larger or older properties climbing toward $800 – $1,200 when encapsulation or partial replacement is needed. What drives the real cost isn’t the cleaning itself, it’s the condition of 40-plus-year-old ductwork common here, combined with year-round AC use and hurricane-season moisture that turns attics into incubators for mold and mildew. Roy Castellanos and our crew at Hollis Air Duct Cleaning have worked enough West Little River homes to know the difference between a routine rotary brush job and one that needs negative-air extraction with sealed access ports. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate before any work starts.
Why West Little River Homes Are Different
West Little River sits in Miami-Dade County with a housing stock dominated by single-family homes and low-rise apartments built between the 1940s and 1970s. Most still run original galvanized sheet-metal ductwork or early flexible ducting that has degraded from decades of humidity and pest activity. Post-1990 construction is rare, so the duct systems we encounter are typically 40 years old or older.
The subtropical climate means air conditioning runs nearly 365 days a year. Dust, pollen, and mold spores accumulate continuously rather than seasonally. Hurricane season, June through November, adds wind-driven rain intrusion and power outages that leave stagnant, damp air inside ducts, accelerating microbial growth.
Here’s the problem we see repeatedly: many homes were built before 1980 with original ductwork sized for older, less powerful AC units. Retrofit high-efficiency systems now strain those undersized ducts, causing pressure imbalances that pull humid, mold-spore-laden attic air through every joint. After a hurricane or heavy summer storm, we routinely find soffit vents and attic duct joints infiltrated by wind-blown water. The attic stays above 130°F, so that moisture bakes into the duct liner, creating a musty odor that no standard cleaning removes without encapsulation or replacement.
Our Main West Little River Services
Homeowners in West Little River call us for three core jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and local specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in West Little River
We clean supply and return ducts with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In West Little River, we almost always find corroded galvanized seams and degraded flex duct that needs careful handling to avoid tearing. We inspect every run with a borescope before and after, and we show you the photos. Air Duct Cleaning in West Little River covers full pricing and what’s included.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Little River
Dryer vent blockages are a fire hazard, and in West Little River’s older homes the vent runs are often longer and more convoluted than modern code allows. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, test airflow with a manometer, and flag any corrugated transition duct that should be replaced with solid metal. Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Little River has full details.
Duct Sealing in West Little River
Sealing is often the right fix for West Little River’s pressure-imbalance problems. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to joints and seams, then pressure-test the system to verify results. For severely degraded liner, we may recommend partial replacement with new flex duct sized correctly for your current AC capacity. Duct Sealing in West Little River explains when sealing beats cleaning.
