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 Bothell West, WA
Air duct cleaning in Bothell West costs between $380 and $640 for a typical two-story home, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. The real difference here is moisture: Bothell West sits low in the Sammamish River corridor, gets more than 47 inches of rain a year, and holds humidity that gets inside flex-duct systems and stays there. That’s why we see mold colonies in Bothell West ducts that simply don’t develop in the drier Eastside neighborhoods just a few miles east. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Bothell West Homes Are Different
Most Bothell West homes were built between 1988 and 2005, the suburban boom years when proximity to the SR-522 and I-405 tech corridor made this a prime commute shed. Builders during that stretch favored fiberglass flex duct: it was fast to install and cheap, but it kinks at low-sag points, traps moisture, and breaks down over decades. Add the heavy Douglas fir and western red cedar canopy and the valley-floor humidity from the Sammamish River floodplain, and you get crawlspace ductwork that runs micro-humid almost year-round.
We regularly walk Bothell West crawlspaces where original 1990s flex duct has partially collapsed, creating a pocket where standing condensation feeds black mold patches. Fall alder pollen and spring cedar and fir pollen are extreme here, and they don’t just dirty the air: they choke return-air filters and push fine particulate deep into supply trunks. Eastern Washington wildfire smoke events since 2020 have made it worse, with homeowners running systems nonstop on closed windows, forcing ductwork never designed for continuous recirculation to handle a far heavier particulate load. Older pockets closer to the Bothell city core have their own issues: 1970s ramblers with original sheet-metal ductwork that often carries decades of fiberglass insulation shed from degrading flex branches added during the early-2000s renovation cycle.
Our Main Bothell West Services
Two jobs account for almost every call we take from Bothell West homeowners: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with local pricing and what the work actually involves here.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bothell West
Bothell West’s damp, low-sitting duct runs mean we treat every air duct cleaning as a mold and moisture job first, a dust job second. We bring negative-air extraction units that pull loosened contaminants out of the living space and rotary brush agitation that dislodges debris at the duct wall, then we inspect the flex runs for the sag points and moisture traps so common under Bothell West crawlspaces. Most homes run between $380 and $640, quoted in writing before we touch a single vent. Full details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Bothell West page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bothell West
Dryer vents in Bothell West clog faster than homeowners expect, partly because high ambient humidity makes lint stick to vent walls instead of blowing through, and partly because long vent runs snaking through two-story framing give lint more surface to grab. We clean the full run, from the dryer connection through the exterior termination, removing the blockages that force dryers to work longer and hotter. Pricing and a full walkthrough of the process are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bothell West page.

Whatever the number, you get it in writing before we start, and it does not change at the door.

What Bothell West 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."
