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 Artondale, WA
Air duct cleaning in Artondale starts with a written whole-system price, typically between $450 and $800 for most homes here, before we touch a single vent. Artondale’s wooded, marine-air setting means ductwork accumulates mold, pollen, and moisture-related debris faster than homes just a few miles inland in Pierce County. If your ducts haven’t been opened up in years, call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you exactly what your system needs.
Why Artondale Homes Are Different
Artondale sits on the Gig Harbor Peninsula, where Douglas fir and cedar stands surround most properties and Puget Sound humidity stays present year-round. The area gets more than 50 inches of rain annually with little summer drying, so crawl spaces stay damp for months at a time. That moisture works its way into ductwork. We regularly find flex duct in Artondale crawl spaces that has sagged or kinked where supports softened from years of humidity, creating low spots where condensation pools and mold colonies take hold. This is a specific failure we see far more often here than in drier communities east of the Narrows.
Most Artondale homes are single-family residences on wooded lots, built largely from the 1970s through the 1990s. Crawl-space foundations are the norm, and flex-duct HVAC runs dominate. Older systems often have undersized or poorly sealed ductwork installed before Washington energy codes tightened. That means more outside air, more moisture, and more biological growth inside the ducts. A cleaning here has to account for those conditions, not just run a brush through and call it done.
Our Main Artondale Services
Artondale homeowners call us most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with pricing, process, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Artondale
Full-system air duct cleaning in Artondale means pulling accumulated pollen, dust, and mold from supply and return ductwork, most of which runs through damp crawl spaces in this community. We use negative-air extraction, which pulls contaminants out of the ducts under suction rather than blowing them through the house, paired with rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris at the duct wall. Given how fast moisture-driven growth develops here, we recommend inspecting ducts every two to three years, especially if you haven’t looked since moving in. See full details on our Air Duct Cleaning in Artondale page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Artondale
Dryer vents in Artondale clog faster than average because lint mixes with damp, cool air inside exterior vent runs, forming a packed residue that restricts airflow. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior cap, including the lint trap bypass, the area behind the lint screen that most homeowners never see. Homes here also contend with cedar and fir needles finding their way into vent caps on wooded lots. Full job details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Artondale page.

What Artondale 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."
