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 Dedham, MA
Air duct cleaning in Dedham typically costs between $300 and $780 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and duct condition, with most jobs completed in a single four-to-seven-hour visit. Dedham is not a quick in-and-out market: the town’s 1950s and 1960s ranch and split-level stock, combined with Charles River humidity, means our technicians routinely open ductwork that hasn’t been touched since the original installation. If you’ve never had your system cleaned, or can’t remember when it was last done, call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll tell you exactly what to expect before anyone shows up.
Why Dedham Homes Are Different
Dedham’s postwar buildout left the town with thousands of ranch and split-level homes whose original forced-air ductwork is now 50 to 70 years old. In neighborhoods like Oakdale and East Dedham, we regularly find galvanized steel trunk lines with joints that have loosened over decades of seasonal expansion, plus early flex-duct runs in attics that have partially collapsed or separated entirely. That’s not a generic “old house” observation – it’s a pattern specific to this housing generation, and it changes how we scope a job before quoting it.
Then there’s the river. The Charles winds directly through town, and its wetland corridors keep basement and crawlspace humidity high in the exact neighborhoods where those postwar homes sit. That means uninsulated duct runs in unfinished basements and crawlspaces frequently develop surface condensation and biological growth. A standard cleaning that ignores this will leave the root cause in place. We inspect for it on every Dedham job and tell you honestly if what you’re seeing is normal debris, moisture-driven growth, or both. Closer to Dedham Square, retrofitted Victorians and Colonials – converted from steam or radiator heat – present tighter access points and more irregular routing that require a technician who’s willing to spend time, not rush through with a wand.
Our Main Dedham Services
Most Dedham homeowners call us for one of three things: whole-system air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, or a repair on ductwork that’s failed. Here’s what each involves in Dedham specifically.
Air Duct Cleaning in Dedham
Whole-system Air Duct Cleaning in Dedham is what we do most often, and in this town it means more than vacuuming a trunk line. Our technicians use negative-pressure extraction equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro to pull debris out of supply and return runs, but in Dedham’s ranch-heavy neighborhoods we first physically inspect attic flex-duct sections before starting. Collapsed or separated runs from the 1960s and 70s create isolated pockets of debris that standard equipment misses entirely if nobody looks for them. We look, we document what we find, and we include photos with every job.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dedham
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dedham addresses a problem that’s worse here because of how the town was built. Many Oakdale and East Dedham homes have laundry rooms in finished basements with vent runs that travel through foundation walls or long interior chases before exiting. Lint accumulation in these long, concealed runs is a fire hazard, not just an efficiency issue. We use rotary brushes and commercial vacuum systems to clear the full run from dryer to exterior termination, and we check for the bypass-style lint traps common in this era of construction.
Air Duct Repair in Dedham
When a duct has actually failed – separated joint, crushed return, disconnected flex run – Air Duct Repair in Dedham is the service you need. In Dedham’s postwar stock, the most frequent failures we see are attic flex-duct separations caused by extreme temperature swings, and basement trunk-line joints that have simply loosened over six or seven decades of seasonal cycling. Every repair we do includes a written guarantee, and if a covered repair doesn’t hold, we return at no charge. The price is set in writing before any work begins, and it doesn’t change.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Dedham, MA
| Service | Typical Range in Dedham |

Dedham pushes prices toward the middle-to-upper end of these ranges because of access difficulty: older retrofitted Colonials near Dedham Square have tight, awkward chases, and ranch homes with collapsed attic flex runs often need repair before cleaning can be done properly. The figure you’re quoted is the figure you pay – every job gets a written price before any work begins, and there are no per-vent add-ons or same-day surprise line items.

What Dedham Customers Say
"Tech arrived with a badge and a printed sheet of what he'd be doing. Ran a camera through the main trunk before and after so I could see the dust difference. Vents smell cleaner already."
- Gina R."Priced by the system, not by the vent, and he told me up front. No pressure to add the sanitizer and I said no without any fuss."
- Faith N."We had construction dust packed into every register after a remodel. They sealed off the returns, used negative pressure, and left the floors cleaner than they found them."
- Paul E.
