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 The Hammocks, FL
Air duct cleaning in The Hammocks costs between $320 and $680 for a full system on most homes, with larger two-story properties running higher. Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning handles the unique demands of this far-west Miami-Dade community, where Everglades-adjacent humidity and year-round AC use mean ductwork works harder here than almost anywhere else in the metro. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why The Hammocks Homes Are Different
The Hammocks sits at the far western edge of Miami-Dade’s suburban grid, directly bordering the Everglades wetland corridor. That location changes everything about how ductwork behaves. Homes here are continuously exposed to sawgrass pollen, wetland mold spores, and near-100% relative humidity that communities even three or four miles east don’t experience at the same intensity. Because AC systems run essentially year-round and pull that bioaerosol-laden air across this Everglades interface, duct interiors in The Hammocks accumulate biological contamination faster and more persistently than elsewhere in the metro.
The housing stock compounds the issue. The Hammocks developed rapidly as a planned suburban community primarily between the mid-1980s and late 1990s, producing a dense concentration of CBS concrete block single-family homes, gated townhome subdivisions, and garden-style condos all of similar age. The dominant duct system in these builds is fiberglass flex duct routed through unconditioned attic spaces. After 25 to 35 years of South Florida heat cycling, that flex duct develops cracked inner liners that trap debris and support mold growth. We routinely find original 1980s and 1990s flex duct systems that have never been cleaned or replaced, now past the manufacturer’s 15 to 25 year service life, with deteriorated inner liners that have essentially become sponges holding decades of Everglades-origin spores. In those cases, a simple cleaning isn’t enough, and a full duct replacement conversation becomes necessary far more often here than in newer or drier parts of Miami-Dade.
The tropical monsoon climate means AC units in The Hammocks log roughly 11 to 12 months of active runtime per year. That’s far more annual airflow hours than national averages, and it shortens the interval between needed cleanings compared to what homeowners in drier climates expect.
Our Main The Hammocks Services
The Hammocks homeowners call us about two things most often: full air duct cleaning for their aging flex-duct systems, and dryer vent cleaning for the lint buildup that South Florida humidity makes worse. Each service has its own dedicated page with full pricing and process details.
Air Duct Cleaning in The Hammocks
Air duct cleaning here means confronting what the Everglades puts into your ductwork. Our technicians use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then Nikro negative-pressure units pull contaminants out while Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps loosened particles out of your living space. In The Hammocks specifically, the focus is often on biological contamination: wetland spores, pollen, and the mold that thrives in condensation inside aging flex duct. We document everything with before-and-after photos so you can see exactly what was removed. Air Duct Cleaning in The Hammocks covers the full process, including what to expect if your original flex duct has reached the end of its service life.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in The Hammocks
Dryer vents clog faster in humid climates because lint absorbs moisture and sticks to the vent walls instead of blowing through. In The Hammocks, where ambient humidity sits near saturation for much of the year, that buildup happens quickly, and it’s a fire hazard you can’t see from the outside. We clean the full vent run, including the lint trap bypass section where most clogs actually form, and we check the exterior termination point for proper airflow. Dryer Vent Cleaning in The Hammocks walks through the process, the pricing, and the signs your vent needs attention now.

What The Hammocks 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."
