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 Stickney, WA
Air duct cleaning in Lake Stickney runs $290 – $590 for most homes, depending on system size, crawl-space access, and how much has accumulated inside the ductwork over the decades. What makes this unincorporated Snohomish County pocket different is the geography: homes ring the lake, sit low, and draw moisture into unconditioned crawl spaces where original ductwork still runs. We work those systems the way they actually need to be worked here. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Lake Stickney Homes Are Different
Lake Stickney’s homes were mostly built between the mid-1960s and early 1980s, and they were built close to the ground. The standard construction here is ranch or split-level, with original sheet-metal trunk lines running through crawl spaces that stay damp nine months out of the year. The lake itself raises ambient humidity above what you’d find even a mile inland, and the floor plan means those ducts never fully dry between heating seasons. The result is a specific set of problems: failed tape seals, disconnected boots, collapsed flex sections in later remodels, and a steady draw of ground-level air into the supply stream.
This is not a generic cleaning market. In Lake Stickney, a technician who understands crawl-space ducting will find things a technician from a drier climate would miss entirely. We regularly find flex duct that has separated at the boot connection, pulled loose by repeated swelling and shrinkage, quietly pulling in soil-moisture air, rodent debris, and organic matter. That is what makes the cleaning different here – it is not just about dust, it is about what the duct system is inhaling from underneath the house.
Our Main Lake Stickney Services
The three services Lake Stickney homeowners call about, each with its own detailed page:
Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Stickney
Whole-system cleaning in Lake Stickney starts with an inspection of the crawl-space trunk lines, because that is where most of what contaminates the supply air originates. We use negative-pressure extraction with professional-grade equipment, agitating the interior walls of the ducts as the vacuum pulls debris out rather than blowing it into the house. This works differently here than it would in a newer subdivision: the crawl-space conditions mean we inspect boots and seals as part of the cleaning, because disconnected ductwork makes the job incomplete. Full details on the main Air Duct Cleaning in Lake Stickney page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Stickney
Dryer vents in Lake Stickney’s older homes often route through those same damp crawl spaces and out at awkward angles, collecting lint faster than vents in newer construction. When a vent clogs, the dryer works harder and the risk of a lint fire goes up. We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination and verify airflow after the job. It is straightforward work, but the routing here often requires longer hose runs than a typical suburban fixture. The full breakdown is on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lake Stickney page.
Air Duct Repair in Lake Stickney
Given how many Lake Stickney systems run through damp, low-clearance crawls, repair is a frequent companion to cleaning. We reattach separated boots, replace collapsed flex sections, seal failed tape joints, and repair or replace damaged trunk sections. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if a covered repair does not hold, we come back at no charge. The guarantee is 365 days and it is on paper, not just a verbal promise. See the scope on our Air Duct Repair in Lake Stickney page.

You’ll receive the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and they’ll show a photo ID badge at the door. They arrive in a clean, marked uniform. The price was already in writing before the work begins, so there is nothing to negotiate on the doorstep. The work is done, the system is inspected, and you see what was removed.
