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 Kent, WA
Air duct cleaning in Kent runs between $390 and $900 for most homes, and the reason for that range comes down to what’s inside the ducts, not just square footage. Kent sits on the floor of the Green River Valley, where marine fog rolls in and hangs for days, and that moisture finds its way into uninsulated crawl spaces and aging flex duct. If you’re noticing dust settling back onto surfaces within days of cleaning, or a musty smell when the furnace kicks on, call Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning at (469) 972-3151. We’ll give you a written price before anyone touches a vent.
Why Kent Homes Are Different
Kent’s housing stock tells a specific story. The East Hill plateau was built out fast in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, with tract homes framed quickly and fitted with flexible ductwork that was cheap to install and never designed to last 40 years. That ductwork now runs through unconditioned attics and crawl spaces, where Kent’s valley humidity sits against the outer jacket for months at a time.
What we find in Kent more than almost anywhere nearby: mold colonization on the inside of duct liner, partially collapsed flex sections where sharp attic bends trapped condensation, and fiberglass insulation that’s absorbed so much moisture it needs replacement, not just cleaning. Homes up on the hill have their own issue too. The elevation means longer duct runs from furnace to registers, and those longer runs catch more debris. A Kent job rarely looks like a Renton or Federal Way job, even when the houses are the same age on paper.
Our Main Kent Services
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning handles the two jobs Kent homeowners call about most, and each one has its own dedicated Kent page with full pricing, process, and local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kent
Most Kent homes have 10 to 18 vents, and the job involves negative-air extraction: a Nikro unit seals to the main trunk and pulls the entire system under vacuum while a Rotobrush rotary brush agitates debris off the duct walls. In Kent, we commonly find mold growth inside flex duct that looks fine from the register, so we inspect and document before we clean so you know what the extra work is and what it costs. Get the full Kent duct cleaning breakdown.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kent
Dryer vents in Kent clog faster than average because the valley’s persistent moisture makes lint stick to the duct wall instead of blowing through. We use a lint trap bypass to clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, then verify airflow at the outside vent hood. On East Hill homes with long vent runs up through the roof, this is the difference between a six-week fix and an actual clean that holds. Get the full Kent dryer vent cleaning breakdown.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Kent
Most Kent jobs are scheduled within two to five business days. We run multiple crews in the south King County area each week, so we can usually fit East Hill and valley-floor homes in without a long wait. Call (469) 972-3151 for the next open slot.
For routine air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning, no permit is required in Kent. If we find collapsed duct sections that need replacement, that’s repair work and doesn’t require a permit either. Code-triggered changes, like rerouting a dryer vent to meet current standards, we handle as part of the quoted scope.
We find mold in Kent ducts regularly because of the valley humidity, especially in 1980s and 1990s flex systems. The answer depends on where the mold is and how far it’s spread: sometimes cleaning with HEPA filtration handles it, sometimes the affected duct sections need replacement. We show you photos before recommending anything.
If your ducts haven’t been opened up in ten years, or your dryer takes two cycles to do what one used to, call Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning at (469) 972-3151. A live person answers. You’ll know the price before we start, in writing.

What Kent 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."
