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 Wickliffe, OH
Air duct cleaning in Wickliffe typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What makes Wickliffe different from neighboring Lake County towns is the age of its housing stock: most homes were built during the post-WWII suburban boom with galvanized steel ductwork that is now 60 – 70 years old and has rarely been cleaned. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews serve Wickliffe from our Cleveland office. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Wickliffe Homes Are Different
Wickliffe’s housing stock was built largely during the post-WWII suburban boom and the 1950s – 60s, when homes were often heated by forced-air furnaces and ducted with galvanized steel rather than flex duct. These original, rarely cleaned duct systems are now 60 – 70 years old and serve as reservoirs for decades of dust, allergens, and even rodent debris from nearby wooded ravines.
Most properties are modest single-family ranches, splits, and colonials built between 1940 and 1975, with full basements and original steel ductwork that is often still in service. Newer infill homes exist but are the minority. Northeast Ohio’s cold, snowy winters and humid summers mean the furnace and AC run heavily, pushing air through aging ducts and making seasonal cleaning, especially after winter, a common need.
In the older neighborhoods off Euclid Avenue and Worden Road, duct systems frequently have unsealed joints that pull in musty basement air. After a wet spring, homeowners often notice a lingering damp odor from the vents. This is not a filter problem; it is a duct integrity and cleanliness problem that requires different tools than newer flex-duct systems.
Our Main Wickliffe Services
Most Wickliffe homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Wickliffe
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and, where needed, a Nikro negative-air machine to pull loosened debris out of the home entirely. In Wickliffe’s 60-year-old steel ductwork, we often find compacted dust layers and occasional rodent debris from the wooded ravines near Worden Road. The job includes vent covers, trunk lines, and the main plenum. Air Duct Cleaning in Wickliffe covers full pricing and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wickliffe
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup from the appliance through the exterior cap. In Wickliffe’s older homes, dryer vents often run through finished basements or through walls with multiple elbows, which traps lint and extends drying times. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear the full run, then verify airflow at the cap. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wickliffe has the details.
Duct Sealing in Wickliffe
Duct sealing closes leaks at joints, seams, and connections with mastic sealant and metal tape. In Wickliffe, unsealed basement joints are common in the Euclid Avenue corridor homes, pulling musty air into living spaces year-round. We pressure-test the system, seal accessible leaks, and show you before-and-after photos. Duct Sealing in Wickliffe explains the full process.
