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 Fruit Cove, FL
Air duct cleaning in Fruit Cove, FL typically runs $350 – $650 for a full single-system home, with most jobs completed in one visit. What makes Fruit Cove work different is the housing itself: nearly every subdivision here was built between the mid-1990s and 2010s with flex ductwork running through vented attics, sitting in the St. Johns River’s humidity for 15 to 30 years. If your system hasn’t been opened up in five years or more, what’s inside those ducts is usually not just dust. Call (980) 447-2498 for a straight answer about your home.
Why Fruit Cove Homes Are Different
Fruit Cove sits on the western bank of the St. Johns River in St. Johns County, and that river position drives a specific problem we see over and over. The near-12-month cooling season means air handlers run almost constantly, pulling humid attic air across duct joints. That moisture settles on the interior liner of flex ducts and feeds microbial growth. Most Fruit Cove neighborhoods, especially the large planned communities built from the 1990s through the 2010s, used builder-grade flex duct routed through vented attic spaces, so the ducts have been soaking in that river humidity for decades.
We also find a construction shortcut that shows up repeatedly in Fruit Cove zip codes along Race Track Road and on the river-facing streets. During the rapid-growth build-out, return-air chases were often framed into interior walls or closets with gaps around them. Those chases pull unconditioned, mold-laden air straight from the wall cavity into the system, bypassing the filter entirely. Homeowners assume the system is sealed; it often is not. That’s why we inspect the return path, not just the supply side.
Our Main Fruit Cove Services
Most Fruit Cove homeowners call us about one of three things: getting the ducts cleaned, getting the dryer vent cleared, or fixing ductwork that has come apart in the attic. Each service has its own dedicated page with local pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Fruit Cove
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Fruit Cove service addresses the core issue in this area: flex duct liners that have been holding river humidity for years. We use negative-pressure extraction connected directly to the supply and return sides, dislodging debris from the liner walls and pulling it out of the system without blowing it into your living space. In Fruit Cove, we typically find the return side needs the most attention due to those leaky wall chases pulling in unfiltered attic air. Every job gets a written price before work starts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fruit Cove
Fruit Cove laundry rooms are usually interior spaces, which means the dryer vent often runs a longer path through walls or up through the roof before it exits. That’s a higher-lint-buildup configuration than a short wall vent on an exterior wall, and it makes regular cleaning more important here. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fruit Cove service clears the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination point using rotary brushes sized to your duct diameter. If the vent passes through a roof jack, we check that termination point too, since roof penetrations in this humid climate tend to collect debris faster.
Air Duct Repair in Fruit Cove
Original duct seals on 1990s and 2000s homes in Fruit Cove are hitting the end of their useful life. Mastic dries and cracks, foil tape peels, and flex duct sags where hangers have loosened over years of thermal cycling in a vented attic. Our Air Duct Repair in Fruit Cove work covers resealing joints, replacing damaged flex sections, repairing or replacing duct board plenums, and fixing the return-air chases that so many Fruit Cove homes have. Every repair we make is backed by a written guarantee; if it doesn’t hold, we return at no charge.

Fruit Cove prices run higher than drier inland markets because 1990s and 2000s flex ducts almost always need more work on the return side than a newer home would. The chase gaps and degraded duct board plenums in this zip code add time. What we quote is what you pay: the price is put in writing before any work begins, and it does not change when the job is done.

No. Air duct cleaning and repair are inside-the-home services; no HOA approval, permit, or board sign-off is required in Fruit Cove. The only edge case is a dryer vent termination change on an exterior wall that faces a shared common area, which may need architectural review. We’ll flag that for you before any work begins.
