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 Palmetto Bay, FL
Linden Air Duct Cleaning handles air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and air duct repair for homeowners throughout Palmetto Bay, FL. Most homes here are 1960s-to-1980s concrete-block ranch houses whose ductwork runs through unconditioned attic spaces that bake above 140°F in summer. That heat, combined with year-round humidity off Biscayne Bay, creates conditions we don’t see in drier parts of Florida. The result is ductwork that collects mold, degrades faster, and needs a different approach than a generic cleaning. Call us at (980) 447-2498 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Palmetto Bay Homes Are Different
Palmetto Bay sits at the western edge of Biscayne Bay in Miami-Dade’s far south, where ambient relative humidity routinely stays above 80% all year. Central AC systems here run essentially 365 days a year, cycling moisture-laden coastal air through ductwork continuously. The dew-point differential between chilled supply air and superheated attics drives condensation directly onto duct surfaces and fiberglass liner, even in “winter” months.
The housing stock makes this worse. The village is dominated by single-story CBS ranch homes built between roughly 1960 and 1985. Many still carry original or early flex-duct systems routed through hot attic cavities with minimal vapor barriers. Sagging, debris-trapping flex duct from this era is the norm. Post-hurricane retrofits often added new air handlers atop old duct runs that were never cleaned or replaced. We regularly pull saturated, blackened fiberglass duct liner from air handlers installed after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Homeowners assumed the new equipment meant clean ducts, but the original trunk lines were left in place, and three decades of uninterrupted coastal humidity turned them into mold reservoirs.
Technicians working the Old Cutler Road corridor and neighborhoods just west of it see this pattern constantly. It’s not an occasional finding in Palmetto Bay; it’s what we expect to find.
Our Main Palmetto Bay Services
Most Palmetto Bay homeowners call us about one of three jobs: cleaning the ducts that have been collecting mold and debris for 30-plus years, clearing dryer vents that coastal humidity and lint have clogged, or repairing a duct system that’s sagging, leaking, or deteriorating.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto Bay
Air duct cleaning here means dealing with what humidity does to a 1960s-to-1980s flex-duct system. We use negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush equipment to pull out dust, mold, and deteriorated liner fragments without spreading them through the house. In Palmetto Bay’s attic-baked ducts, we often find the fiberglass liner itself has begun breaking down, which means cleaning alone won’t solve every problem. But when the system is intact, a proper cleaning removes years of accumulated coastal grime, and we document with before-and-after photos. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Palmetto Bay page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto Bay
Dryer vents in Palmetto Bay clog faster than people expect because the same coastal humidity makes lint stick to the inside of the vent run instead of staying loose. A dryer vent that’s partially blocked runs hotter, dries slower, and creates a fire risk. We clean the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination point, not just the first few feet. In a village of 1960s and 1970s homes, many of these vent runs are long, narrow, and rarely – if ever – cleaned. Details on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmetto Bay page.
Air Duct Repair in Palmetto Bay
Repair work in Palmetto Bay frequently means reconnecting flex duct that has sagged or separated in hot attics, sealing leaks at plenums and boots, or replacing sections where the liner has degraded past the point of safe use. In CBS ranch homes with original duct runs, the connections at the air handler and at each supply register are the most common failure points. Every repair we quote comes with a written guarantee in force for 365 days. If a covered repair fails, we return at no charge. Learn more on the Air Duct Repair in Palmetto Bay page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Palmetto Bay, FL
These are the price ranges Palmetto Bay homeowners should expect for common jobs. We put every price in writing before work starts, so the figure on your estimate is the figure on your invoice.
| Service | Typical range in Palmetto Bay |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (single system, up to 10 vents) | $395 – $595 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (single system, 11 – 18 vents) | $495 – $750 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (single system, 19+ vents) | $650 – $950 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (single run, accessible) | $129 – $199 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (long or hard-to-access run) | $179 – $275 |
| Air duct repair (minor sealing or reconnection at one point) | $150 – $350 |
| Air duct repair (section replacement, flex duct) | $300 – $800 |
| Air duct repair (plenum repair or full trunk-line work) | $600 – $1,800 |
| Fiberglass liner removal and replacement (per section) | $250 – $700 |
| Air handler cleaning as part of duct cleaning | $150 – $300 |
What pushes a Palmetto Bay job toward the higher end of these ranges is usually access. Attic spaces in 1960s CBS ranches are often tight, hot, and partially finished – which slows the work. If your ductwork hasn’t been cleaned since Hurricane Andrew, there’s also more material to remove. The price we quote before starting is the price you pay, no per-vent add-ons and no surprise invoice at the door.
