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 Cheval, FL
Air duct cleaning in Cheval, FL typically runs $450 – $850 for a full system on a large two-story home, and most jobs take 4 – 7 hours. What makes Cheval different is the housing stock: nearly every home was built in the 1990s or early 2000s, which means 20 – 30-year-old flex duct systems routed through hot, unconditioned attics that have rarely, if ever, been opened for cleaning. If you need a straight answer about your system, call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll walk you through what’s involved.
Why Cheval Homes Are Different
Cheval is a planned, affluent community in northern Hillsborough County, and the homes here share a very specific profile. They’re large, usually 2,500 to over 5,000 square feet, mostly two-story, and built during the 1990s and early 2000s boom. That era of Florida construction leaned heavily on flexible duct runs through unconditioned attic spaces, and those attics bake in the subtropical heat.
Here’s the compounding problem: Cheval sits near the Hillsborough River corridor, where ambient humidity runs high even compared to coastal Tampa. AC systems cycle 10 – 11 months a year, pulling humid interior air through attic-routed flex ducts. The result is persistent condensation inside duct runs, which creates exactly the environment where mold spores and microbial growth take hold. We regularly find original builder-grade flex duct in Cheval that has never been inspected once since the house was built. The homeowner has been breathing whatever accumulated in those ducts for two decades or more. That’s not a scare tactic. It’s what we see when we open the registers.
Because so many Cheval residents are original or early owners who stayed put, the concentration of never-serviced systems here is unusually high. The average job uncovers years of pet dander, pollen, drywall dust from renovations, and mold spores sitting behind expensive finishes. It’s a health question as much as a comfort one.
Our Main Cheval Services
Cheval homeowners call us most about three things: full air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and duct repair. Each has its own page with local pricing and details, linked below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cheval
This is the deep clean: negative-pressure extraction through every supply and return register, agitating years of built-up debris loose from the flex duct walls, then sanitizing the interior surfaces. In Cheval, the job usually means working in a hot attic where original 1990s duct work has never been opened. We send the tech’s name and photo before the visit, and a photo ID badge is shown at the door. Full details on Air Duct Cleaning in Cheval.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheval
Cheval’s large two-story homes often have dryer vents that run 15 – 25 feet from the laundry room to an exterior wall, with multiple bends. Lint accumulates in those bends, restricts airflow, and significantly raises fire risk. We clean the full run with professional rods and brushes, and we check the exterior vent cap for blockages. Cheval homeowners with upstairs laundry rooms are especially prone to long, lint-clogged runs. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheval for pricing and what the job covers.
Air Duct Repair in Cheval
Aging flex duct in Cheval attics fails in predictable ways: crimped runs from poor original installation, torn outer jackets from rodents or storage activity, and separated seals at the plenum. Losing conditioned air into a 120-degree attic drives up your electric bill and pulls in attic dust. We repair or replace damaged sections, reseal connections, and wrap it all in a written guarantee.

What pushes price up in Cheval is mostly attic access and system size. A two-story home with a tight attic hatch and 20+ registers simply takes longer than a smaller single-story with a walkable attic. Whatever the number, we put the full price in writing before any work starts, and that’s the exact amount you pay at the end.

What Cheval Customers Say
"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."
- Meredith L."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.
