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 Richmond West, FL
Air duct cleaning in Richmond West means dealing with ductwork that was rushed into place after Hurricane Andrew flattened this part of Miami-Dade in 1992. Most homes here were rebuilt between 1993 and 1997, and the flex duct installed during that frenzy is now 25 to 30 years old. Continuous AC use, attic temperatures that hit 130°F and higher, and the constant moisture rolling in from the Everglades have degraded those runs. We clean and repair that specific generation of ductwork every week. Call (980) 447-2498 to talk through what your system needs.
Why Richmond West Homes Are Different
Richmond West sits at the far southwest edge of Miami-Dade, backed up against the Everglades and next to Homestead’s active farm belt. That geography matters more than people realize. Crop dust and subtropical mold spores settle on condenser coils and get pulled into return ducts. The air handler runs roughly 11 months a year, so ductwork never gets a dry-down period. Condensation forms inside flex runs and stays there. Combined with 130°F attic heat in summer, the interior of original post-Andrew ductwork becomes a warm, damp environment where mold grows and debris hardens onto the liner.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Richmond West is dominated by one-story concrete block and stucco homes rebuilt after Andrew in the 1993 – 1997 window. Contractors working through a rebuild shortage routinely ran flex duct with sharp bends across attic trusses to save time. Those kinked sections trap dust, pet hair, and moisture. After three decades, we regularly find active mold colonies inside those bends that have never been opened, much less cleaned.
Our Main Richmond West Services
Most Richmond West homeowners reach out for one of these three jobs, each with its own dedicated Richmond West page:
Air Duct Cleaning in Richmond West
Whole-system cleaning here starts with the reality of 25-year-old flex duct: collapsed inner liners, separated joints, and debris compacted into every bend and turn. We run negative-pressure extraction through the full supply and return runs, then address what the original post-Andrew contractors left behind. Homes near the western edge of Richmond West pick up more agricultural dust from the Homestead area; homes throughout the neighborhood carry attic insulation fragments and construction debris from the rebuild era. Read the full scope on our Air Duct Cleaning in Richmond West page, including what we inspect before starting.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richmond West
Dryer vents here clog differently than in most of South Florida. The same crop dust and mold spore load that hits AC returns also gets pulled into dryer intakes, and many Richmond West laundry rooms are interior spaces with long vent runs to exterior walls. Lint cakes with humidity from the Everglades side, hardening into layers that restrict airflow and hold moisture against the vent wall. We clean the full run, from the dryer connection to the exterior damper. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richmond West for the full breakdown.
Air Duct Repair in Richmond West
Post-Andrew flex duct fails in predictable ways: inner liners collapse, outer jackets separate at the takeoffs, and support straps sag until runs drag across trusses. We repair and reseal those sections rather than just pointing them out. If a run is too far gone, we replace it with properly sized, properly supported duct. Every repair in Richmond West gets a written guarantee and a free second visit if the repair fails. Details on Air Duct Repair in Richmond West.
