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 Olympia Heights, FL
Air duct cleaning in Olympia Heights runs between $285 and $640 for most homes, depending on the number of ducts and how much biological growth has built up inside them. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and Olympia Heights is one of the most demanding neighborhoods in Miami-Dade for ductwork because of where it sits: less than five miles from the Everglades’ wetland edge, with a housing stock that predates central air. That combination means ducts here carry more mold spores, more organic particulate, and more humidity than almost anywhere else in the metro. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Olympia Heights Homes Are Different
Olympia Heights is overwhelmingly post-WWII concrete block homes built between the 1950s and early 1970s, and almost none of them were designed for central air. The original builders framed these houses for window units, and when AC systems were retrofitted later, contractors ran ductwork through attics that were never meant to contain mechanical systems. In a South Florida summer, those attic spaces routinely hit 130 to 140 degrees, and older flex duct liners break down under that constant heat. We regularly find disconnected or collapsed segments in Olympia Heights attics, pulling raw attic air into the living space along with insulation fibers and whatever’s growing up there.
Compounding it is the neighborhood’s position at the western edge of Miami-Dade’s urban grid. The Everglades sit just a few miles away, and the ground-level moisture that rolls off that wetland boundary pushes ambient humidity higher than what you’d measure closer to the coast. AC systems here run for ten or eleven months out of the year, which means duct interiors never fully dry. That chronic condensation feeds mold colonies on duct liner surfaces, and it’s a near-universal condition in Olympia Heights rather than an occasional one. Technicians who work this neighborhood see it on almost every job.
There’s also a failure pattern specific to homes built in this era. The original supply runs were sized for a window-unit load, then patched into a central system that pushes more air at higher velocity. Older aluminum duct tape used in those retrofits goes brittle after a few decades of attic heat, and when it fails at a connection, the pressure in an undersized run blows the joint apart. What starts as a small gap becomes a direct line from the attic into the house.
Our Main Olympia Heights Services
Most Olympia Heights homeowners call us about one of two problems: dirty supply and return ductwork that’s recirculating dust and mold, or a dryer vent that’s caked with lint and no longer exhausting properly. Each has its own page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Olympia Heights
We clean the full duct system: supply runs, return lines, the plenum, and the register boxes. In Olympia Heights the job almost always involves removing biological growth, not just household dust, because of the humidity load described above. We use negative-air extraction to pull contaminants out rather than pushing them around, and the loosened material is captured in HEPA filtration so it doesn’t end up on your furniture. Expect the work to take three to five hours in a typical 1950s-to-1970s concrete block home. Air Duct Cleaning in Olympia Heights has full pricing and a step-by-step description of the process.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Olympia Heights
Dryer vents in Olympia Heights clog faster than in drier climates because the ambient humidity keeps lint slightly damp, which makes it stick to the vent walls instead of blowing through. Many of these older homes have long vent runs that snake through concrete block walls or across hot attics, and those runs trap lint at every bend. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination point, remove the built-up lint, and check airflow at both ends. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Olympia Heights covers what to expect, including how we handle vents that terminate on roofs.

No. Air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning are interior maintenance items, and no Olympia Heights HOA we’ve encountered requires approval or notification for this work.

If we find something unexpected during the job, like a disconnected duct run in the attic, we stop and explain the situation and the cost to correct it before we proceed.

What Olympia Heights Customers Say
"Bought an older home and the previous owners had pets everywhere. After Kestrel did the ducts the stale smell was just gone. On time, quick, and they showed me the filter they pulled."
- Preston Ngata"Our dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load. They cleaned the vent and pulled out a frightening amount of lint. Dries in one cycle now and honestly I feel better about the fire risk."
- Marcus Lee"Set up an appointment for the whole house plus the dryer line. They called the morning of to confirm, showed up in the window, and showed me pictures of the gunk they pulled out. Worth it."
