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 Iona, FL
Air duct cleaning in Iona runs between $290 and $540 for a whole-home system, with most ranch-style homes landing in the $330 – $460 range depending on duct count and contamination level. What makes Iona work different is the water. This low-lying community between Fort Myers and Cape Coral took the worst of Hurricane Ian’s 2022 storm surge, and thousands of flex duct systems were saturated with brackish river water that dried into something far harder to remove than ordinary dust. We send crews here regularly, and we know exactly what they’re walking into before the van pulls up. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll tell you the price before any work starts, in writing.
Why Iona Homes Are Different
Iona’s housing stock runs heavily to 1970s through 1990s slab-on-grade ranch homes and canal-front properties, most built with fiberglass-lined flex ducts routed through unconditioned attics. That fiberglass liner is porous. When storm surge from Ian pushed Caloosahatchee River and Gulf water into those attic duct runs, the liner absorbed it like a sponge. Surface flood remediation may have dried the drywall, but duct liners in thousands of homes never fully dried out. We now see a predictable pattern in Iona: homeowners report musty odors returning within months of a prior cleaning, because the mold source is structural to the liner itself, not surface dust. That requires liner replacement or aggressive remediation, not just a clean-and-go visit.
The ongoing climate compounds the problem. Iona sits at the convergence of the Caloosahatchee River and tidal Gulf influence, producing some of the highest ambient humidity readings in Lee County. Salt-laden marine air corrodes metal duct components faster than inland Florida. HVAC systems running 10 to 11 months a year pull that humid, salt-tinged air through ductwork continuously, which compresses the contamination timeline dramatically. A duct system that might need cleaning every five years in Orlando can reach the same condition in three here.
Our Main Iona Services
The three calls we get most from Iona homeowners are whole-home air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and duct repair or liner replacement after moisture damage. Each one has its own page with pricing and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Iona
Whole-home duct cleaning in Iona means running professional negative-pressure extraction equipment through every supply and return run, pulling out dust, construction debris, and the organic sediment that flood water leaves behind. In Iona specifically, we inspect the fiberglass liner condition before we start, because cleaning a liner that’s already breaking down only buys a few weeks of relief. Read the full breakdown, including pricing by home size, on our Air Duct Cleaning in Iona page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Iona
Dryer vents in Iona clog faster than in most of Lee County because the air itself is heavier with humidity and lint binds more readily to the vent walls. Canal-front homes with longer horizontal vent runs are the worst offenders. We remove the lint buildup, clear the termination point, and check airflow with a manometer so you have a number, not just a claim. See typical pricing and what’s included on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Iona page.
Air Duct Repair in Iona
Post-Ian, a large share of Iona duct issues are not cleanable. Inner liners collapse, connections separate, and sections that took on brackish water grow mold that professional cleaning cannot remove. We do duct repair and liner replacement, and every repair is covered by a written guarantee with a free second visit if the repair does not hold. Full details and repair pricing are on the Air Duct Repair in Iona page.

Whatever the number, it is put in writing before work starts, every time. There is no surprise invoice at the end.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Iona
Most Iona jobs are scheduled within 24 to 48 hours of your call. The phone is answered by a live person 24/7, so you will not sit in a callback queue. We coordinate scheduling from our South Florida office, and local crews handle the Iona work directly.
Duct cleaning and most duct repair do not require a permit in unincorporated Lee County, which includes Iona. Some canal-front or gated communities have HOA rules about contractor access and working hours. We are used to working with Iona HOAs and will confirm any access requirements before the visit. Call (980) 447-2498 if you have a specific community question.
If musty odor has returned within months of a previous cleaning, the most likely cause is the fiberglass duct liner itself. Storm surge water soaked into the porous liner, and once mold takes hold inside the material, no cleaning removes it. The fix is liner replacement, not another cleaning. We will inspect and tell you straight which one you need. Call (980) 447-2498 for a free estimate.
