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 North Decatur, GA
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning works throughout North Decatur, GA, and the calls we take from this community share a pattern: older duct systems carrying a heavier biological load than almost anywhere else in DeKalb County. The combination of mature tree canopy, notoriously intense pollen seasons, and 1950s-1970s housing stock means most North Decatur ductwork needs more than a surface pass. We quote one written price before work starts and stand behind it with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (469) 972-3151 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why North Decatur Homes Are Different
North Decatur sits under one of the densest canopies of oak, sweetgum, and loblolly pine in the county. Every spring, that canopy releases pollen that finds its way into return vents, settles in duct runs, and compacts into a fibrous cake along duct board walls. The housing stock makes it worse. Most homes in Clairmont Heights, Medlock Park, and along N. Decatur Road were built between 1950 and 1975 as single-story ranches and split-levels, many still running their original fiberglass duct board or early flex duct. In DeKalb County’s humidity, that original duct board degrades. It sheds fiberglass particles inward while trapping mold spores and dust rather than moving air cleanly.
The climate multiplies it. Summers here run AC systems four to five months straight. Humid outdoor air gets pulled through the ducts on every cycle, condensing inside the ductwork and feeding mildew growth that a standard filter change never touches. We see this pattern constantly in the ranch corridors off N. Decatur Road.
Our Main North Decatur Services
Two services account for almost every call we take in North Decatur, each with its own dedicated page for pricing and job specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in North Decatur
Full-system Air Duct Cleaning in North Decatur means we open the supply and return sides of the system and clean them under negative pressure. In this area, we often find the original duct board lining has shed fiberglass inward, so supply registers are actively carrying glass fibers and years of compacted pollen through the living space. Rotobrush agitation knocks that debris loose, Nikro negative-air extraction pulls it out, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps it from recirculating while we work.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Decatur
Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Decatur runs the full length of the vent, from the lint trap bypass down to the exterior termination. Split-levels in this area often route dryer vents through crawl spaces or interior wall cavities, with longer runs and tighter bends that trap lint faster than a short, straight pipe. A full cleaning restores airflow, shortens dry times, and removes the fuel load that makes a clogged dryer vent a fire risk.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in North Decatur, GA
North Decatur pricing follows the home’s size and the condition of the ductwork, not a per-vent upsell. Here are the typical ranges you should expect to see on a written quote.
| Service | Typical Range in North Decatur |
|---|---|
| Full home air duct cleaning (single system) | $325 - $595 |
| Full home air duct cleaning (dual/two-story system) | $595 - $975 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (standard run) | $145 - $195 |
| Dryer vent cleaning "long run" (roof or extended exhaust) | $195 - $340 |
| Odor treatment / whole-system sanitizing | $135 - $325 |
| Return- and supply-plenum detail work | $105 - $240 |
| Duct-source mold or heavy contamination abatement | $850 - $2,500 |
| Whole-system air duct replacement (duct board or flex) | $2,250 - $5,400 |
North Decatur’s older duct board and long flex runs push more jobs into the upper end of those ranges than a newer subdivision would see; heavy pollen packing and degraded liner both add labor hours. What you see is what you pay: the written price is in your hands before a single vent is touched.

What North Decatur 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."
