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 Orchards, WA
Air duct cleaning in Orchards means dealing with two problems most other neighborhoods never face at once: fine Gorge-carried dust from eastern Washington and the damp, mold-friendly air of the Portland-Vancouver metro. The homes here, mostly 1970s – 1990s ranch and split-level builds, were framed before modern duct sealing was common. That means original fiberglass duct board and early flex runs that have spent decades absorbing humidity while collecting the pale, alkaline dust that blows through the Columbia River Gorge each east-wind season. If your vents puff dust when the system kicks on, or the air smells musty in winter, call us at (980) 447-2498 for a straight answer and an exact quote.
Why Orchards Homes Are Different
Orchards sits in a weather corridor that gets hammered from both directions. From the west come the wet winters of the Portland-Vancouver basin, pushing indoor relative humidity high enough that dust and debris inside poorly sealed ducts can support mold growth. From the east come Columbia River Gorge wind events that funnel fine agricultural soil and particulates from the dry Columbia Plateau straight into suburban streets northeast of Vancouver. That dust is notably fine and alkaline, like the loess soils of eastern Washington, and it settles as a pale powdery film inside return-air intakes and heat-exchanger passages. Standard brush cleaning misses it. Water-extraction or HEPA-vacuum approaches are what actually pull it out.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Most Orchards homes were built during Clark County’s growth boom of the 1970s through the 1990s, and many still run on their original fiberglass duct board or early flex-duct systems. Fiberglass board breaks down under decades of humidity cycles and must be cleaned carefully to avoid shredding the interior liner. There are also older farmhouses on larger lots left over from the orchard operations this community was named for. Those homes often have aging sheet-metal duct runs that have never been professionally serviced. The work in Orchards requires knowing which system you are dealing with before any equipment goes in.
Our Main Orchards Services
Most Orchards homeowners call us about two things: getting the dust and mold out of their ducts, and clearing the dryer vent that nobody has looked at since the house was built. All three services below get a written price before work begins and a live person on the phone whenever you call.
Air Duct Cleaning in Orchards
This job in Orchards is about more than pulling dust out of registers. We run negative-pressure extraction through the full duct system, then address the Gorge-dust film that brushes cannot reach. In homes with original fiberglass duct board, we use methods that protect the interior liner from tearing. The result is a system that stops circulating the musty, alkaline powder that has been building up since the east winds started blowing through here. See the full scope, process, and Orchards pricing on the dedicated page: Air Duct Cleaning in Orchards.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Orchards
Dryer vents in Orchards collect a specific mix: lint from every load, plus the same fine Gorge dust that settles into everything else. That combination packs tighter than lint alone and restricts airflow faster, which makes the dryer run hotter and longer. We clean the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination, clear blockages, and verify airflow at the end. This is one of the highest-return jobs in Orchards because the local dust accelerates buildup. Full details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Orchards page.
Air Duct Repair in Orchards
Decades of humidity swings take a toll on ductwork. We see separated flex runs, crushed returns under crawlspaces, rusted sections in older farmhouse sheet metal, and fiberglass liner that has started to shed into the airstream. Repair in Orchards means finding exactly where the system is leaking or degrading, then fixing that section rather than recommending a full replacement when you do not need one. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if it does not hold, we return at no charge. Details: Air Duct Repair in Orchards.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Orchards, WA
These are the ranges Orchards homeowners can expect before we send a written quote. The final number depends on the size of the home, the number of returns, and how much Gorge dust has packed into the system.
| Service | Typical range in Orchards |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $450 – $650 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (11 – 20 vents) | $650 – $950 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (21+ vents or two systems) | $950 – $1,400 |
| Single return plenum / trunk line cleaning | $150 – $300 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (standard single-story run) | $120 – $190 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (long, multi-story, or roof-terminated run) | $190 – $320 |
| Air duct repair (minor sealing, short replacement section) | $200 – $450 |
| Air duct repair (moderate damage, longer flex replacement) | $450 – $900 |
| Air duct repair (major repair or significant inaccessible work) | $900 – $1,800 |
| HEPA filtration add-on / sanitizing treatment | $150 – $400 |
Two things push Orchards prices toward the upper end: original fiberglass duct board that requires slower, liner-safe cleaning, and heavy Gorge dust accumulation that needs extra extraction passes. Whatever the quote is, you will see it in writing before any work begins, and that number will not change when the van pulls up.

What Orchards 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."
