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 Columbia, TX
Air duct cleaning in West Columbia, TX typically runs between $349 and $689 for most homes, depending on the number of systems, the age of the ductwork, and whether past flooding has left behind silt or mold. This isn’t a dry-climate maintenance job. Homes here sit in Brazos River bottomland where humidity stays above 80% much of the year, and older ranch houses with original flex duct hold moisture in ways newer construction doesn’t. That changes what we look for, how we clean, and why we document everything. Call (469) 972-3151 for an exact written quote.
Why West Columbia Homes Are Different
West Columbia sits in the Brazos River bottomlands of Brazoria County, one of the most persistently humid corridors on the Texas Gulf Coast. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 left standing water in hundreds of area homes, and the damage didn’t stop when the water receded. Ductwork held floodwater, river silt, and mold spores in sealed plenum sections for days or weeks. We worked on West Columbia jobs well into 2018 and 2019 where homeowners had already cleaned the visible damage, only to find dried Brazos River silt still packed inside duct runs that had never been opened.
Beyond storm events, the everyday climate does its own work. Humidity above 80% means condensation forms inside poorly insulated duct runs. Older wood-frame houses and mid-century ranch homes in West Columbia often have original flex duct or early sheet-metal systems running through low-pitch attics and unconditioned crawl spaces that never fully dry out. Moisture that wicks up from slab edges and pier-and-beam foundations only adds to it. The result is chronic microbial growth that no amount of filter changes will fix. Cleaning here has to account for what the river and the humidity have already put into the system.
Our Main West Columbia Services
Most West Columbia homeowners call us for one of two things: cleaning the air ducts that move conditioned air through the house, or clearing the dryer vent that pushes lint and heat outside. Both jobs are shaped by the bottomland conditions here, and each has its own page with local pricing, process details, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in West Columbia
Older West Columbia homes with original flex duct tend to hold years of accumulated dust, pet dander, and, after Harvey, dried river silt. Our Air Duct Cleaning in West Columbia uses Rotobrush rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris at the duct wall, while a Nikro negative-pressure unit pulls it out of the system instead of blowing it into your living room. Every job includes a written price before we start, and the work is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the cleaning falls short, we return and make it right at no charge.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Columbia
High humidity in West Columbia makes lint stick to the inside of dryer vent runs instead of blowing through. Add the long, low-pitch attic runs common in the older homes here, and you get clogs that reduce dryer efficiency and create a fire hazard. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Columbia clears the full run from lint trap bypass to exterior termination, with before-and-after photos of your own vent so you can see the work was actually done. Same written price, same guarantee.

What West Columbia Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
