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 Lake Mary, FL
Air duct cleaning in Lake Mary runs $420 to $650 for a typical single-family home, with dryer vent work and duct repair priced separately. Lake Mary’s housing stock, built mostly between 1985 and 2005, now carries original flex-duct systems that have aged past their rated service life in some of Central Florida’s most humid microclimates. If you’re noticing musty air from your vents or dust building up fast, call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll give you a straight answer about what your system needs.
Why Lake Mary Homes Are Different
Most Lake Mary homes are slab-on-grade builds in master-planned communities, with ductwork routed almost entirely through unconditioned attics. That means the same ducts that carry your cold air in July sit in attic spaces that hit 130°F or more every afternoon. The city’s engineered retention lakes and stormwater ponds, required by Seminole County rules and present in nearly every subdivision, keep ambient humidity higher here than in drier inland suburbs. We regularly find condensation at duct-boot connections in lakeside communities like Timacuan and Magnolia Plantation, where homes sit 50 to 200 feet from standing water. The result is mold growth inside duct liners that would stay dry in other Central Florida cities.
We also see a distinct failure pattern in Lake Mary’s same-vintage subdivisions. Flex-duct inner liners partially collapse near the attic air handler after years of thermal cycling between extreme attic heat and cold supply air. When entire cul-de-sacs built in the same year show the same problem at once, it’s rarely a coincidence. It’s age, heat, and humidity working together on the same materials, in the same conditions, at the same time.
Our Main Lake Mary Services
Homeowners in Lake Mary call us most about these three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing, what to expect, and answers to the questions we hear most.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Mary
Negative-pressure extraction pulls years of accumulated dust, pet dander, and mold spores out of your ductwork without pushing debris back into your living space. In Lake Mary, where humidity feeds mold inside aging flex-duct liners, this is the service that tells you what’s actually inside your system. We use professional equipment from brands like Nikro and document what we remove. The full breakdown, including how we handle lake-effect moisture problems, is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Mary page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Mary
Lint bypassing a dryer’s trap builds up inside the vent line, and in Lake Mary’s slab-on-grade homes that vent line often runs through an exterior wall or up through the roof. Long runs and humidity both make blockages worse, and a blocked dryer vent is a fire hazard first and an efficiency problem second. Every job includes a written price before we start. Details on what we inspect and how we clean are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Mary page.
Air Duct Repair in Lake Mary
Cracked boots, disconnected joints, and collapsed flex ducts are common in Lake Mary attics, especially in homes built before 2005. A separated duct dumps conditioned air into your attic, which is why some rooms never cool properly. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if a covered repair doesn’t hold, we return at no charge. See what we fix and what it costs on the Air Duct Repair in Lake Mary page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Lake Mary, FL
Here is what we charge for the jobs we do most in Lake Mary. These are whole-system numbers, not per-vent teaser rates that change when the van pulls up.
| Service | Typical range in Lake Mary |
|---|---|
| Standard whole-home air duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $420 – $550 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (larger or older systems) | $550 – $650 |

Two things push Lake Mary prices toward the upper end of these ranges: homes with more than ten vents, and the collapsed flex-duct failures we see regularly near attic air handlers in 25 to 35 year old systems. The price you get in writing before we start is the price you pay. No add-ons invented mid-job, no surprise invoice at the end.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Lake Mary
Most Lake Mary appointments are scheduled within two to five business days. We don’t promise same-day service because real duct cleaning is a scheduled, thorough job, not a rushed stop. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll find the next opening that works for you.
Interior duct cleaning and repair generally don’t require HOA approval, since the work happens inside your home and attic. Exterior dryer vent changes could trigger an architectural review in some Lake Mary communities. We’ll tell you exactly what we’re doing before we start, so you can check your association’s rules with confidence.
The written price covers the full job: labor, equipment, and the specific work described. Nothing is added after we begin. Every job gets a written price before any work starts, and every repair includes a written guarantee good for 365 days, with a free second visit if a covered repair fails.
If your vents smell musty, your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load, or one room never cools, call (980) 447-2498. Marcus Veale and the team will tell you what’s going on, what it costs, and who will be at your door, before you commit to anything.

What Lake Mary 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.
