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 Kent, WA
Air duct cleaning in Kent, WA typically runs between $350 and $650 for a whole-home system, and the job is usually completed in a single visit. Kent’s mix of 1950s valley-floor homes and 1970s-90s East Hill tract housing means most systems we open have never been serviced, and many show particulate buildup from the Green River Valley’s diesel-heavy industrial corridor. If you’re looking for a straight answer on cost and what the job actually involves in Kent, call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll walk you through it.
Why Kent Homes Are Different
Kent sits on the floor and hillsides of the Green River Valley, one of the most concentrated warehouse and logistics corridors in the Pacific Northwest. Hundreds of distribution centers run diesel equipment along SR-167, and the valley’s well-documented temperature inversions trap that exhaust at ground level. Your HVAC system pulls from that air. Homes throughout East Hill and the valley floor accumulate duct contamination at rates you would not see in Renton or Auburn, which sit outside the same industrial-density geography.
The housing stock adds another layer. East Hill’s tract-home boom from the late 1970s through the 1990s left thousands of split-level and ranch-style homes whose original forced-air ducts are now 30 to 45 years old. Downtown Kent and the valley floor have 1950s and 60s homes where ductwork was retrofitted into structures never designed for forced air, creating irregular runs that are genuinely hard to access and harder to clean properly. We also see a distinct East Hill problem: flex-duct runs from that late-1980s buildout were often stapled rather than clamped at collar connections, which let attic particulates and insulation fibers get pulled into the living-space airstream for decades. Our technicians know to look for it.
Our Main Kent Services
The two services Kent homeowners call us about most often are whole-home air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning, though duct repair comes up more in East Hill than almost anywhere else we work. Each has its own Kent page with full pricing and local details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kent
Whole-home duct cleaning in Kent means running professional negative-pressure extraction through the supply and return runs, removing the dust and particulate film that builds up faster here than most places. The Green River Valley’s winter inversions keep moisture elevated, which accelerates mold and mildew colonization inside ducts. Late-summer wildfire smoke from eastern Washington compounds the problem, depositing fine residue that standard filters do not catch. We use Rotobrush equipment and document the job with before-and-after photos. Full details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Kent page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kent
Dryer vent cleaning in Kent matters because valley-floor homes often have longer vent runs than the typical suburban setup, and lint accumulation plus elevated humidity is a bad combination. We remove the lint buildup through the full run and clear the exterior termination, which restores airflow and cuts the fire risk that comes with restricted vents. Older Kent homes frequently have foil or plastic vent material that should be replaced, and we will tell you if yours does. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kent page for pricing and specifics.
Air Duct Repair in Kent
Air duct repair in Kent frequently involves re-sealing or re-clamping those stapled flex-duct connections we mentioned, plus patching leaks in older sheet-metal runs. A duct system with open collar connections will pull attic air, insulation fibers, and whatever else is up there straight into your living space, and no amount of cleaning fixes that until the connection is secured. Every repair we do in Kent carries a written guarantee, with a free second visit if the repair fails. Read the Air Duct Repair in Kent page for more.

What Kent 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."
- Paul E.
