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 Fulton, MD
Air duct cleaning in Fulton, MD typically costs between $350 and $650 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Most homes in Fulton fall into the 15 to 22 year age range, which means original flex-duct runs are now carrying their first serious accumulation of construction dust, drywall particulate, and everyday debris. If you live in Maple Lawn or one of the adjacent subdivisions and have never had your ducts cleaned, call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Fulton Homes Are Different
Fulton is unusual because nearly the entire residential base was built within a single 20-year window. Maple Lawn townhomes and single-family homes went up between roughly 2002 and the early 2020s, which means most of the HVAC systems in Fulton are original installations now aging into their second decade. That timing matters more than people realize. Flex-duct runs in these homes sag at support intervals as they age, creating low points where fine particulate concentrates between cleanings. A system that looked fine at year five can be carrying several pounds of accumulated debris by year eighteen.
The local climate compounds this. Summer humidity in the Baltimore-Washington corridor regularly sits at 70 to 80 percent relative humidity from June through August. Fulton HVAC systems run extended cooling cycles, generating heavy condensate loads. When moisture migrates into supply plenums and flex-duct joints on poorly sealed systems, it creates exactly the conditions where biofilm and mold take hold. Standard filter changes do not address this. The debris load in a Fulton duct system is a function of housing age, subdivision buildout dust, and sustained humidity, and all three are present here.
Our Main Fulton Services
Fulton homeowners call us most often about two things: cleaning the ducts throughout the house, and clearing dryer vents that have accumulated lint over years of use. Here is what each involves in Fulton specifically.
Air Duct Cleaning in Fulton
Most Fulton homes have compact, multi-story floor plans with flex-duct runs that were installed when the house was built. Over 15-plus years, those runs collect construction dust from the subdivision’s own multi-decade buildout, plus everyday household particulate. We use negative-pressure extraction to pull debris out without pushing it into your living space, and flex-cable brush attachments for the tight-radius bends common in Maple Lawn townhome systems. If you’ve noticed reduced airflow from certain vents or allergy symptoms that get worse at home, the ducts are the first place to look. See Air Duct Cleaning in Fulton for full details and pricing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fulton
Dryer vents in Fulton townhomes often run longer than they look on paper, particularly in middle-unit layouts where the vent path travels through interior walls before reaching an exterior termination. Lint accumulates at every bend, and the damper at the exterior cap can stick open or closed with enough buildup. A restricted dryer vent forces your dryer to work harder and longer, which shortens the appliance’s life and raises the risk of a vent fire. We clear the full run from dryer to exterior cap, including the lint trap bypass that most homeowners never see. Details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fulton page.
Air Duct Repair in Fulton
Sagging flex-duct runs, separated joints, and collapsed sections are common in Fulton homes once systems pass the 15-year mark. Two-zone dampered systems in Maple Lawn townhomes add another layer: damper blades and tight-radius bends collect debris that can jam the dampers themselves. When a section of duct fails, you lose conditioned air to attics and wall cavities, and your system runs longer to compensate. We repair or replace the affected sections, seal the joints, and verify airflow at the register. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails, we return at no charge. See Air Duct Repair in Fulton for what’s covered.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Fulton, MD
| Service | Typical range in Fulton |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (single system) | $350 – $650 |
| Air duct cleaning with sanitizer application | $450 – $800 |
| Air duct cleaning for two-zone systems (Maple Lawn townhomes) | $500 – $850 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (single run) | $120 – $250 |
| Dryer vent cleaning with exterior cap replacement | $180 – $320 |

| Supply plenum sealing and insulation | $300 – $550 |
| Return-side duct repair | $280 – $520 |
Two factors push Fulton prices toward the upper end of these ranges. First, two-zone systems in Maple Lawn townhomes are more complex to clean and repair than single-zone setups, because the damper assemblies and tight-radius bends require additional time and specialized tools. Second, systems that have never been cleaned in 15-plus years take longer and need more extraction passes than systems cleaned every few years. Whatever your situation, you get a written price before any work starts. No per-vent pricing, no surprise invoice at the end.

What Fulton 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."
