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 Bothell, WA
Air duct cleaning in Bothell costs between $350 and $600 for a typical 2,000-square-foot home, with larger or older systems running $600 to $900. What changes the number is Bothell’s housing stock: thousands of 1990s and early 2000s production homes with aging flex-duct systems that sag, separate, and pull moisture out of the valley air. If your home sits along North Creek or west of Canyon Park, you’re likely dealing with ductwork near the end of its service life. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Bothell Homes Are Different
Bothell grew fast in the 1990s and early 2000s, pushed by the tech corridor at Canyon Park. Thousands of two-story production homes went up in subdivisions like North Creek and Fitzgerald, and most were built with flexible plastic ductwork instead of rigid sheet metal. Flex duct has a working life of roughly 20 to 30 years. In Bothell, that clock has run out for a large share of the housing stock. We routinely pull off a register in North Creek and find the flex duct boot has separated from the ceiling joist, sending conditioned air into the crawlspace instead of the room.
The valley location makes it worse. Bothell sits low where the Sammamish River and North Creek meet, and cold air pools here in a way it doesn’t on the drier Eastside hills. Roughly 50-plus inches of rain falls annually, and indoor humidity stays elevated through most of the year. Condensation forms inside poorly insulated flex ducts, and that moisture feeds mold and biofilm growth. Add heavy spring and fall pollen from the alder, cottonwood, and Douglas fir that surround the valley, and duct systems in Bothell accumulate particulate faster than homes in Redmond or Bellevue do.
Our Main Bothell Services
Most Bothell homeowners call us first about two things: cleaning the duct system after years of valley moisture and pollen buildup, or clearing a dryer vent that’s packed with lint. Repair work often follows once we’re inside and see what 25 to 30 years have done to the original flex duct.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bothell
We run negative-pressure extraction through the full duct system, pulling out years of accumulated dust, pollen, and the fine particulate that Bothell’s damp air bakes onto duct walls. In North Creek and Fitzgerald homes especially, we check every register for the disconnected boots and sagging flex runs that are common after three decades of thermal cycling. Before we start, you get a written price for the whole system, not a per-vent teaser. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Bothell page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bothell
Dryer vents in Bothell clog faster than you’d expect. The same valley humidity that causes condensation inside flex ducts also makes lint stick to vent walls instead of blowing through. Two-story laundry rooms on upper floors mean longer vent runs with more bends, and each bend is a place lint collects. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination and bypass the lint trap so the actual vent path gets cleared. Details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bothell page.
Air Duct Repair in Bothell
Cleaning often reveals damage: collapsed flex duct, separated boots at the ceiling joists, crushed runs in crawlspaces. That’s not surprising in Bothell, where original ductwork has been through 25 to 30 winters of settling and thermal cycling, some of it on former wetland fill. We repair or replace the damaged section, seal it properly, and give you a written guarantee on the work. If it fails, we return at no charge. See Air Duct Repair in Bothell for what’s covered.

Prices in Bothell push toward the high end when we’re working in crawlspaces under older homes near the river corridor, where access is tight and original duct runs are hard to reach. Flex duct that has collapsed or separated adds repair cost on top of cleaning. Whatever the final number, it’s put in writing before any work begins, and it doesn’t change when the van shows up.

Almost never. Duct cleaning and vent work happens entirely inside your home and doesn’t touch exterior surfaces, so HOA rules in Bothell’s planned communities don’t come into play. If your dryer vent termination needs exterior access, we’ll work around any HOA requirements for ladders or equipment placement.

If your Bothell home still has its original ductwork, or if you’ve noticed rooms that never quite heat or cool evenly, call (980) 447-2498.

- Cheryl A."Thorough job on all eleven vents and the main trunk. Took longer than the three hours they quoted, but he told me early and kept working. Air feels fresher."
