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 Mead, WA
Air duct cleaning in Mead runs between $395 and $1,150 for most single-family homes, depending on system size, the number of returns, and how much debris has built up over 30 to 50 years. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work in Mead’s older ranch and split-level homes more than almost any other housing type, because that’s what the Mead School District build-out produced between the 1970s and 1990s. Our crews show up with professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, not shop vacs, and you get a written price before any work begins. Call (469) 972-3151 to talk through your system.
Why Mead Homes Are Different
Mead sits north of Spokane in a corridor where ponderosa pine stands and scrub border the residential lots, especially in the more rural northern sections. Our technicians regularly pull rodent nesting material and pine needles out of floor-register boots and exterior duct terminations up here, a pattern you don’t see nearly as often in the denser neighborhoods a few miles south inside Spokane city limits. The housing stock compounds the issue: most Mead homes are 1970s and 1980s ranch-style or split-level builds with original sheet-metal forced-air ductwork now 40 to 50 years old. Many of those systems have long, uncleaned trunk lines, plus flex-duct extensions that were added during 1990s basement finishes or room additions. That means a standard cleaning in Mead often involves more linear feet of ductwork than a newer home in a master-planned community, and more accumulated debris per vent.
The climate does its part too. Cold, dry winters with average lows near 22°F push heating systems into heavy, months-long use. Then late-summer wildfire smoke from Eastern Washington and North Idaho fires settles over the Mead corridor for weeks at a time. Residents seal their homes and run fans continuously, which pulls fine smoke particulates directly into return-air systems. That two-season HVAC stress cycle loads ducts with contamination faster than milder western Washington cities ever see, so Mead homeowners often need first-time cleaning sooner than they expect.
Our Main Mead Services
Mead homeowners call us most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning for whole-house systems and dryer vent cleaning for clogged or slow-drying vents. Each service has its own page with Mead-specific pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Mead
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Mead service covers the full forced-air system: supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, and register boots. In Mead’s older ranch and split-level homes, that often means working through decades of dust, pet hair, construction debris from past remodels, and smoke residue from annual fire seasons. We use a Rotobrush rotary brush system to dislodge debris at the duct wall, paired with a Nikro negative-pressure unit that pulls contaminants out as we go. HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies keeps loosened particles out of your living space during the job. Every cleaning ends with a written report of what we removed.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mead
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mead service clears the full vent run from dryer to exterior termination. Mead’s semi-rural lots mean many vents terminate at rooflines or through exterior walls bordered by trees, and we routinely find lint packed hard around bends, bird or rodent nesting at the termination, and pine debris blown into the hood. We clear the full run with professional-grade equipment and verify airflow at the exterior before we leave. If your dryer has been taking longer than 40 minutes to dry a load, the vent is the first thing to check.

What pushes a Mead job toward the higher end of those ranges is usually the age of the home: 40- to 50-year-old ductwork with long trunk lines and flex-duct extensions takes more time and more brush passes than a newer, compact system. The written price you get from us before work starts is the price you pay. No per-vent surprises, no door-step revisions, no bait-and-switch.

No. Air duct and dryer vent cleaning is a maintenance task, not a construction project. Nothing we do requires a Spokane County permit, and no HOA in the Mead area requires approval for interior duct cleaning. If your dryer vent terminates at a roofline, we handle the roof access ourselves.
No. We run a Nikro negative-pressure unit that pulls loosened debris out of the duct system and through HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies. That means the smoke residue and dust we dislodge during brush agitation leaves through the equipment, not through your vents. Your living space stays clean during the job.

What Mead Customers Say
"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."
- Terrence Boyd"My wife's allergies were awful every morning. Had the ducts done and it's made a real difference. Tech was on time and wore booties in the house without me asking."
- Rob Pendergast"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."
