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 Edmonds, WA
Air duct cleaning in Edmonds runs between $390 and $750 for most single-family homes, depending on the number of systems, the age of the ductwork, and whether the return side shows biological growth. This hillside town above Puget Sound presents a set of conditions we don’t see in neighboring communities: salt-laden marine air, crawl spaces that stay damp year-round, and mid-century duct systems that were never designed for that moisture load. If you’re calling about musty air or visible dust at the registers, call us at (469) 972-3151 and we’ll walk you through what’s likely going on.
Why Edmonds Homes Are Different
Edmonds sits on a tiered hillside that drops directly to Puget Sound, and most of its single-family housing stock was built between the late 1940s and the 1970s. Those ranch and split-level homes on the terraces above the waterfront typically route supply and return ductwork through unconditioned crawl spaces, where ground vapor and salt aerosols from the Sound keep the air consistently damp. The marine layer off the water means relative humidity stays high through every season, and the crawl-space duct runs rarely dry out the way they do in Lynnwood or Mountlake Terrace just a few miles inland.
We routinely open supply ducts in the lower bowl near the ferry terminal and find condensation staining or visible mold growth even in homes where the owners haven’t noticed any symptoms. Long duct-board and early flex-duct runs, often 40 or 50 years old, have seams and interior liners that absorb moisture and give biological growth a place to establish. That’s why we treat a pre-inspection camera check as standard procedure on any Edmonds job with crawl-space ductwork. You should know what’s in there before anyone quotes a cleaning.
Our Main Edmonds Services
Edmonds homeowners call us most often for two jobs: cleaning the full HVAC duct system, and clearing the dryer vent that runs from the laundry room to the exterior. Each service has its own page with local pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Edmonds
Air duct cleaning in Edmonds almost always involves crawl-space runs, which means the job starts with a camera inspection to see what’s accumulated at the low points and along the interior liner. Salt-laden marine air accelerates corrosion on metal duct seams, and the persistent humidity keeps loosened debris damp and heavy, so it tends to cling rather than blow through to the registers. Our crews use negative-air extraction to pull contaminants out of the living space rather than circulating them. Full details on pricing and process are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Edmonds page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Edmonds
Dryer vent cleaning in Edmonds has to account for the long, sometimes convoluted vent runs in split-level homes built into the hillside. Lint accumulates quickly in damp marine air, and it compacts into a dense mat that restricts airflow and raises dryer temperatures. The salt in the air also contributes to corrosion at the exterior termination point. We clean the full run from the dryer to the outside cap, and we photograph the before and after so you can see the work was actually done. Specifics are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Edmonds page.

What Edmonds 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."
