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 Catonsville, MD
Linden Air Duct Cleaning is Catonsville’s air duct company for homeowners who want to know exactly who is coming to the door and exactly what the job costs before it starts. Catonsville’s postwar housing stock and dense hardwood canopy mean duct systems here collect debris differently than almost anywhere else in Baltimore County. We approach each Catonsville job around the specific equipment and ductwork of the home, not a generic checklist. Call (980) 447-2498 for a free estimate on any of our three Catonsville services.
Why Catonsville Homes Are Different
Catonsville’s residential core is built on cape cods, brick colonials, and ranchers from the 1940s through 1960s expansion along Frederick Road and its side streets. Many of those homes retain original galvanized sheet-metal ductwork from mid-century gravity-to-forced-air furnace conversions. Those trunk lines were sized for low-velocity gravity flow, which means modern blowers push air through oversized ducts and leave dead-air pockets at the far ends. In those pockets, pollen, pet dander, and rust scale from aging galvanized steel compact into dense mats that a standard vacuum-only cleaning misses entirely.
Add the oak and maple canopy that lines so many Catonsville streets, and you get some of the Baltimore metro’s heaviest springtime pollen loads moving directly into those same duct systems. Basement-run ductwork in older Catonsville homes also cycles through real humidity swings given the area’s elevated position near the Patapsco River valley. That moisture promotes mold colonization inside ducts that haven’t been inspected in years. None of this is theoretical for us. It’s what our technicians see in Catonsville every week.
Our Main Catonsville Services
These are the three services Catonsville homeowners call us about most, each with its own dedicated page below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Catonsville
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Catonsville service uses negative-pressure extraction with professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In Catonsville’s older homes, that means dislodging the compacted debris inside oversized trunk lines and removing it under vacuum rather than just loosening it. We inspect the system first, show you what we found, and put the full price in writing before any work begins. Every tech is background-checked, identity-verified, and photo-badged under the Threshold Standard.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Catonsville
Catonsville homes with laundry on upper floors often have longer dryer vent runs, and longer runs trap more lint. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Catonsville service clears the full run from dryer to exterior termination, including the lint trap bypass. We use rotating brush systems to break up compacted lint then vacuum it out under negative pressure. The price is written before we start, and you get a clear before-and-after look at the vent.
Air Duct Repair in Catonsville
Older galvanized ductwork in Catonsville tends to separate at seams over time, especially in basements with seasonal humidity swings. Our Air Duct Repair in Catonsville service handles disconnected runs, crushed sections, leaking joints, and rust-damaged duct sections. Every repair carries a written guarantee with a free second visit if the repair fails within 365 days. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, on every job.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Catonsville, MD
These ranges reflect what we typically see for homes in Catonsville’s postwar stock and newer builds. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay, in writing, before any work begins.
| Service | Typical range in Catonsville |
|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning (whole home, up to 2,500 sq ft) | $390 – $650 |
| Air duct cleaning (larger home, 2,500 – 4,000 sq ft) | $500 – $900 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (standard single run) | $120 – $260 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (long or multi-story run) | $200 – $400 |
| Air duct repair (minor sealing / small section) | $250 – $600 |
| Air duct repair (major trunk line repair or replacement) | $800 – $2,500 |
| Whole-home duct inspection with camera | $150 – $300 |
| Coil cleaning / blower motor cleaning add-on | $150 – $350 |
| Mold treatment for interior duct surfaces | $400 – $1,100 |
| Duct sealing (per system) | $600 – $1,600 |
What pushes a Catonsville price toward the top of a range is usually the age of the ductwork. Oversized gravity-era trunk lines take longer to clean properly, and basement runs with moisture damage often need more than just extraction. You’ll always see one written price per system before we start, never a per-vent upsell or a surprise line item at the end.
