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 Everett, MA
Air duct cleaning in Everett, MA runs between $390 and $690 for most whole-home systems, and the price you pay should be fixed in writing before work starts. Add Puget Sound’s persistent marine humidity to that equation, and Everett jobs routinely involve biological growth you would not see in drier inland cities. Call (469) 972-3151 for a fixed price and an honest look at what is inside your ducts.
Why Everett Homes Are Different
Everett sits directly on Puget Sound at the mouth of the Snohomish River delta, and that geography dictates how ductwork fails here. The marine layer keeps ambient humidity elevated all year, with low fog settling in even through summer. When that humid air meets the vented crawlspaces under Everett’s older homes, condensation forms on the exterior of supply ducts during spring and fall. Over years, that moisture works inward through failing seam tape and deteriorated duct board, creating conditions where mold colonization inside ducts is a routine finding, not an exception.
The dominant housing stock compounds the problem. The Boeing assembly plant opened in 1967 and triggered a dense construction surge that filled neighborhoods around Paine Field and north Everett with single-story ranch homes and split-levels. Those systems, now 40 to 55 years old, were built with sheet-metal trunk lines or early flex duct routed through unconditioned crawlspaces and attics. Joint tape has failed, duct insulation no longer functions as a vapor barrier, and biological buildup in crawlspace runs is common. Technicians working the flat neighborhoods west of Highway 99, close to the Port of Everett and the river lowlands, consistently find standing condensation and visible growth on duct exteriors. That is a distinctly Everett failure pattern, driven by tidal-influenced ground moisture meeting original 1970s insulation.
Our Main Everett Services
Everett homeowners call us most often for two jobs: whole-home air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with full local detail and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Everett
Whole-home Air Duct Cleaning in Everett starts with negative-air extraction: a Nikro unit pulls the system under vacuum so loosened contaminants are captured rather than recirculated into living space. We then run Rotobrush rotary brush agitation through every reachable duct run to dislodge debris at the duct wall, followed by Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration as needed. On Everett’s 40 to 55-year-old Boeing-era systems, the point of the work is removing the biological buildup and failed insulation debris that crawlspace condensation has been feeding for decades.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Everett
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Everett clears the full run from the lint trap to the exterior termination point, including the lint trap bypass, which plain English: we clean the passage behind the removable screen where lint packs tightest. Many Everett ranch homes route dryer vents horizontally through crawlspaces for 15 to 25 feet before the exterior cap, and those long, low runs collect lint quickly in this humid climate. We use rotary brush equipment sized to the vent diameter and verify airflow at the end of every job.

What Everett 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."
