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 Mead, WA

Why Mead Homes Are Different
Mead sits on the rural-suburban fringe north of Spokane, where wheat fields, hay operations, and open lots push agricultural dust and harvest-season particulates directly into home HVAC intakes. That loading pattern is far heavier than in Spokane proper. Eastern Washington’s late-summer wildfire smoke adds a second layer – fine PM2.5 particles that circulate through running air systems for months after the smoke clears if the ducts aren’t cleaned.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Mead’s residential boom happened mostly between the 1970s and 1990s, leaving a dominant inventory of single-story and split-level ranch homes with original sheet-metal or early flex ductwork. Much of that ducting runs through unconditioned crawlspaces, where debris, dust, and moisture accumulate year-round. Newer subdivisions from the 2000s and 2010s added modern forced-air systems, but the older homes remain our core service challenge: aging, uninsulated duct runs that collect whatever the dry Eastern Washington climate throws at them. With only 16 – 17 inches of annual precipitation, dust and wildfire ash stay airborne longer and penetrate deeper before settling – contamination worse than anything you’d find in the moister air west of the Cascades.
Our techs working Mead regularly find duct registers and plenums coated with a gritty, tan-colored agricultural dust – distinct from the gray household dust typical of urban Spokane. It’s most common on the north and east edges of the community, where properties back up to open fields or unpaved roads, and in homes running fresh-air economizers or poorly sealed returns.
Our Main Mead Services
Mead homeowners call us most about two things: the ducts in the floor and the vent behind the dryer. Each service has its own page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Mead
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Mead means pulling agricultural dust, wildfire smoke residue, and crawlspace debris out of your forced-air system. Most homes here need a negative-pressure extraction with rotary brush agitation – not just a vacuum at the register – because of how much fine particulate settles deep in the runs. We walk you through exactly what we’ll do and what it costs before any work begins. Details on Air Duct Cleaning in Mead.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mead
Dryer vent cleaning is the job Mead homeowners put off most – and it’s the one that matters most in the dry months. Lint accumulates faster in low-humidity air, and a clogged vent is one of the leading causes of home dryer fires. We clear the full run from dryer to exterior, not just the first few feet. Pricing and process on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mead.
Air Duct Repair in Mead
Older Mead ranches often have original duct runs with separated joints, crushed flex sections, or return leaks pulling crawlspace air into the home. Every repair we quote comes with a written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails, we come back at no charge. See Air Duct Repair in Mead for what we fix and what it costs.

What Mead Customers Say
"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."I liked that I knew who was coming in. Name and photo texted ahead, badge at the door. He was quiet, careful with the furniture, and thorough."
- Cheryl A."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."
