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 McDonough, GA
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning handles duct and dryer vent work across McDonough, and the homes here create a particular set of problems. Most of the housing stock is 2,000 to 3,500 square feet, built between 1995 and 2012, with flex duct routed through unconditioned attics. Georgia heat bakes that ductwork every summer, pine pollen loads it every spring, and after 15 to 25 years the runs sag, kink, and leak. We write the price before we touch a vent, and the job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.
Why McDonough Homes Are Different
McDonough sits at the center of Henry County’s suburban build-out, which means whole subdivisions of builder-grade flex duct are hitting their service threshold at the same time. Those original ducts were installed in unconditioned attics, where summer heat climbs well past 100°F day after day. The insulation jacket cracks. The inner liner sags under its own weight. The joints at register boots loosen and pull apart, so the system quietly pulls raw attic air – dust, fiberglass fragments, whatever is up there – straight into the living space.
Then there’s the pollen. McDonough’s humid subtropical climate keeps HVAC systems running hard from May through September, pulling Georgia’s heavy pine pollen through the ducts for months on end. High summer humidity adds another layer: condensation forms inside attic duct runs, and that moisture promotes mold growth. In many 2000s-era McDonough subdivisions, the original builder used long, poorly supported flex runs across wide attic spans. After 15 to 20 years those runs develop sharp bends that trap debris and choke airflow. We often find the complaint is as much kinked, debris-filled flex as a dirty blower. That’s why inspection goes hand-in-hand with cleaning here – a vacuum-only job would miss half the problem.
Our Main McDonough Services
McDonough homeowners call us most often for two jobs, and each has its own page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in McDonough
We clean the full duct system, starting with a camera inspection of the runs. Most McDonough homes built in the 1995-2012 window have attic-run flex that’s never been examined since installation. We use negative-air extraction to pull loosened debris out under vacuum, and brush agitation to break material free from the duct wall without damaging the liner. Post-service antimicrobial treatment matters more here than in drier suburbs, given the condensation risk in Georgia attics. Full details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in McDonough page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in McDonough
Dryer vents in McDonough clog with lint and, in some neighborhoods, pollen that gets pulled through exterior vent hoods. Two-story homes here often have long vertical vent runs through walls, and those are the ones most likely to build restriction near the top. We clean the full run from dryer to outside, bypass the lint trap so the line gets cleared properly, and verify airflow at the exterior termination. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in McDonough page for pricing and scope.

What McDonough Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
