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 Maple Heights, OH
Air duct cleaning in Maple Heights costs between $285 and $495 for most homes under 2,000 square feet, and the work itself usually takes three to five hours. What makes Maple Heights jobs different is the age of the ductwork: nearly every home here was built between the late 1940s and early 1960s, which means we’re cleaning 60-to-80-year-old galvanized steel runs that have accumulated decades of soot, oil film, and homeowner neglect. If you need a written price before anything gets touched, call (469) 972-3151.
Why Maple Heights Homes Are Different
Maple Heights sits in the Lake Erie moisture corridor, where cold, wet winters and muggy summers create condensation inside basement duct runs. That condensation settles into dust and turns it into a paste that clings to the duct walls. In a newer subdivision, a standard cleaning might lift light household dust. In Maple Heights, we’re often breaking up hardened debris that has been sitting in those galvanized steel trunk lines since the Eisenhower administration.
Most of the city’s housing stock is modest brick Cape Cods, ranch homes, and small two-story colonials built between roughly 1945 and 1965, nearly all with full basements where the original trunk lines and plenum boxes still run. Many of those homes started with oil-fired furnaces that were later converted to gas. The conversion left behind soot residue and oil film inside ductwork that was never cleaned during or after the switch. That residue acts like glue for every particle that has passed through since.
One more thing sets Maple Heights apart: a high share of rental properties where duct maintenance is routinely deferred. We regularly walk into homes where the ducts have not been touched since the original installation, simply because nobody along the chain of ownership ever scheduled the work. That means our technicians in Maple Heights are almost always doing a first-time deep cleaning, not a maintenance pass.
Our Main Maple Heights Services
Two services account for nearly every call we take from Maple Heights homeowners. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and process detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Maple Heights
Whole-home duct cleaning in Maple Heights starts with a walkthrough of the basement trunk lines, because that is where 60 to 80 years of buildup concentrates. We connect negative-air extraction equipment to the main plenum, then run a rotary brush through each branch line to dislodge debris at the duct wall. The negative pressure pulls everything out of the home as it loosens, so nothing recirculates into the living space. In Maple Heights specifically, we watch for original duct-wrap material from the 1950s that may contain chrysotile asbestos fibers; our technicians assess that before any mechanical agitation begins. Full details and pricing are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Maple Heights page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Maple Heights
Dryer vents in Maple Heights run through basements and out through foundation walls or rim joists, which means lint accumulates at the exit point where it meets cold exterior air in winter. That temperature change causes lint to mat and harden, narrowing the vent over time. We disconnect the dryer, bypass the lint trap, and push a rotating brush through the full run from appliance to exterior cap, then vacuum out everything it dislodges. The written price covers the entire vent run, and you will see before-and-after photos of your own vent before we leave. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Maple Heights page for the full breakdown.

What Maple Heights 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."
