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.

Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning serves SeaTac with background-checked, uniformed technicians who use Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies equipment. Our King County crews answer the phone around the clock at (469) 972-3151.
Why SeaTac Homes Are Different
SeaTac sits directly under the approach and departure corridors of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and that changes what accumulates inside residential ductwork. HVAC systems here draw in a measurably higher load of jet-exhaust ultrafine particles and kerosene combustion byproducts than homes in Burien, Tukwila, or Des Moines. The difference is real, and it shows up as a fine gray film on coil surfaces and inside return plenums even in tidy houses.
Many SeaTac residences also went through the FAA’s Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program, receiving upgraded windows and added insulation that tightened the building envelope. That’s good for sound and heating bills, but it cut natural air exchange in half or more. Aviation particulates that once diluted out through leaky frames now recirculate through the same duct runs for weeks. The original sheet-metal ductwork installed in the 1950s through 1970s was never redesigned to compensate. Technicians working FAA-retrofitted neighborhoods near 24th Ave S and S 188th St consistently report duct surfaces among the dirtiest per square foot in the region. Add SeaTac’s marine humidity from October through April, and older uninsulated duct runs become a place where fine dust and moisture combine into a paste that brushes off in sheets.
Our Main SeaTac Services
Two services make up the bulk of what SeaTac homeowners call us about. Each has its own page with full pricing and local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in SeaTac
We clean the full duct system – supply runs, return drops, trunk lines, and the plenum – using a Rotobrush rotary system to dislodge debris at the duct wall while a Nikro negative-air unit pulls loosened material out under vacuum. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps the particles we extract from re-entering your living space. In SeaTac, the job almost always includes removing aviation soot film from return grilles and the inside of the air handler cabinet. Full details and pricing are on the Air Duct Cleaning in SeaTac page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in SeaTac
Lint accumulates faster in SeaTac because the same tight building envelopes that hold aviation particulates inside also raise indoor drying times, which means more lint per load moving through the vent. We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, clear the lint trap bypass, and verify airflow with a manometer before we leave. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in SeaTac for current pricing and a full description of the process.

What SeaTac 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."
