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 Palmetto, GA
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning handles the two jobs Palmetto homeowners call about most: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Homes here pose a particular challenge because so many were built fast in the 1990s and 2000s with flex duct run through unconditioned attics. Georgia heat cooks that ductwork, and when joints pull loose, your system starts breathing attic air straight into the living room. We inspect for exactly that before any vacuum work begins. Call Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning at (469) 972-3151 for a written quote.
Why Palmetto Homes Are Different
Palmetto sits at the leading edge of Atlanta’s southwestern spread, and that position shapes the ductwork. The historic core holds mid-20th-century ranch and craftsman homes, some with metal duct that has held up for decades but runs undersized for modern AC loads. The bigger story is the wave of tract subdivisions built from the late 1990s through the 2000s. Those homes went up fast, and the standard material was flexible duct draped across hot attics. In a Palmetto summer, attic temperatures regularly exceed 130°F. Flex duct liner breaks down under that heat, hangers sag, and connections at the plenum collar separate. The result is a system pulling in attic dust, insulation fibers, and unfiltered air for years before anyone notices. That is why we treat attic inspection as the first step of any duct cleaning here, not an add-on.
Palmetto’s place on the Piedmont’s agricultural fringe adds another layer. From February through May, pine, hardwood, and pasture grass pollen loads are heavy enough to coat return grilles in a matter of weeks. Combine that with summers where relative humidity sits at 70 to 90 percent, and the condensation risk at flex duct joints becomes a genuine mold concern. We find biological growth often enough that we mention it on every estimate, not as a scare tactic but as a likely finding.
Our Main Palmetto Services
Palmetto homeowners call us for two jobs, each with its own detailed page covering pricing, process, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto
Full air duct cleaning in Palmetto means pulling the system apart at the registers and the plenum, then running a rotary brush through every trunk line and branch. We follow the brush with negative-air extraction, which is a plain way of saying a powerful vacuum pulls loosened debris out rather than blowing it into your rooms. In Palmetto’s post-2000 subdivisions, we almost always find a disconnected or sagging flex run in the attic that has been bypassing the filter entirely. Re-connecting and sealing that joint is part of a proper job here. For full pricing and the 365-Day Done Right Promise, see Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto
Dryer vents in Palmetto run longer than they should because laundry rooms often sit at the center of the house with the vent snaking to an exterior wall. Lint builds at every bend, and the humid Georgia air turns that lint into a dense mat faster than it would in a drier climate. Our technicians clear the full run from dryer to exterior cap, check the cap for proper flap operation, and confirm the system is actually moving air. For pricing and service details, see Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto.

If our inspection finds collapsed flex runs or multiple disconnected joints, re-sealing and replacing those sections adds labor and material to the base cleaning price. That is why we quote it upfront, before any work starts. The written price you approve is the price you pay, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the full job in writing.

What Palmetto 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."
