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 Scituate, MA
Air duct cleaning in North Scituate, MA runs between $450 and $900 for most homes, with whole-system jobs on larger colonials sometimes reaching $1,200 when crawl-space runs need antimicrobial treatment. Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning handles the two jobs homeowners here call about most: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. North Scituate work is different because so many duct systems route through damp basements and tight crawl spaces that flood during nor’easters, which means we’re often dealing with salt corrosion and mold, not just dust. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why North Scituate Homes Are Different
North Scituate sits on the South Shore’s exposed coast, where salt-laden humidity works on sheet-metal duct joints year-round. The housing stock compounds it: mid-20th-century Cape Cods and New England colonials dominate, alongside converted seasonal cottages that were never built for forced air. In those cottages, flex duct was retrofitted through knee-wall chases and low-clearance crawl spaces, often with no vapor barrier, and the result is ductwork that traps moisture, collects debris, and corrodes faster than inland systems.
The defining condition here is flooding. Scituate is one of the most repeatedly flood-damaged coastal towns on the South Shore, and when a nor’easter pushes storm surge into the low streets, basement and crawl-space duct runs get partially submerged. After the water recedes, what’s left inside the ducts is a silt-and-mold residue that has to be removed and treated before the furnace can safely push air through it again. That post-storm remediation call is nearly a seasonal category in North Scituate, and it’s not something technicians in Hanover or Norwell deal with the same way. We show up expecting to find flood history in half the homes we service here, and the cleaning plan accounts for it from the first inspection.
Our Main North Scituate Services
These are the two jobs North Scituate homeowners call us for, each with its own dedicated page covering pricing, process, and local conditions in detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in North Scituate
Full air duct cleaning here means pulling the registers, agitating the duct walls with a Rotobrush rotary brush system, and running negative-pressure extraction with a Nikro unit so loosened debris leaves the house rather than resettling into rooms. In North Scituate, the real variable is what we find in the crawl-space runs: after a wet season, we’re often removing flood silt, salt corrosion, and mold colonies, not just house dust. Every job gets a written price before we start, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies in writing. Full details live on the Air Duct Cleaning in North Scituate page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Scituate
Dryer vents in North Scituate clog faster than inland because coastal humidity keeps lint sticky, and many vent runs here are long, crimped retrofits through tight spaces that trap debris. We clear the full run from dryer to exterior termination, bypass the lint trap, and check the termination flap for salt-air corrosion that can seize it shut. A clogged dryer vent in a damp coastal basement is a fire hazard and a mold invitation. The complete breakdown, including North Scituate pricing, is on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Scituate page.

What North Scituate 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."
