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 St. Augustine South, FL
Air duct cleaning in St. Augustine South typically costs $285 – $495 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and how the ducts were built. We inspect first, then clean with negative-pressure extraction so debris is pulled out rather than pushed around. This matters more here than in most places, because the combination of 1970s-era ductwork and coastal humidity changes what we find inside the ducts. Call (980) 447-2498 for a quote that covers your exact system.
Why St. Augustine South Homes Are Different
St. Augustine South is a planned residential community developed largely in the 1970s and 1980s. That means most homes here still carry their original ductwork, and the materials tell a story. Duct board and early flex duct were never designed to withstand forty-plus years of northeast Florida’s coastal humidity and salt-laden air off the Matanzas River and Intracoastal Waterway. We regularly open up return plenums in St. Augustine South and find the foil facing completely separated from the insulation core, with the exposed fiberglass shedding into the airstream.
Most of these houses are slab-on-grade ranch homes with ductwork running through attics that hit 140°F in the summer. That heat bakes flex duct until seams tear and duct board until it crumbles. Add near-year-round humidity that rarely drops below 60%, even in January, and you get interior duct surfaces that stay damp enough for mold colonization year-round. Newer communities like Nocatee or World Golf Village, just a few miles away, don’t deal with this at anywhere near the same pace. St. Augustine South is a different job.
Our Main St. Augustine South Services
Most St. Augustine South homeowners call us first about two things: cleaning the ducts themselves and clearing dryer vents that have been ignored since the house was built. Repair work usually follows once we show them photos of what’s inside.
Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine South
We clean supply and return lines with negative-pressure extraction using professional-grade equipment, including Nikro systems. In St. Augustine South, most jobs involve duct board or aged flex duct, so we inspect before we clean, looking for liner deterioration, separated foil facing, and mold we can document with photos. Once the system is clean, you get before-and-after images of your own ducts, not stock photos. Air Duct Cleaning in St. Augustine South has the full breakdown.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Augustine South
Dryer vents in St. Augustine South run longer and through hotter attics than most people realize, and the lint trap bypasses more than you’d expect. Humid coastal air mixes with lint to form a paste that sticks to vent walls and won’t come loose with a standard brush alone. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior cap, including roof and soffit terminations. Dryer Vent Cleaning in St. Augustine South covers pricing and what your vent type means for the job.
Air Duct Repair in St. Augustine South
When 1970s flex duct has torn seams or crushed runs, or when duct board has separated, cleaning alone won’t fix the problem. We repair and re-seal duct runs, replace failed sections where needed, and seal boots and connections that have pulled apart. Every repair in St. Augustine South comes with a written guarantee on the work, and if a covered repair fails, we return at no charge. Air Duct Repair in St. Augustine South explains what’s repairable and what should be replaced.

In St. Augustine South, the biggest price variable is home size and what the original ductwork was made of. A 1,200-square-foot ranch with intact rigid duct is quick; a 2,200-square-foot house where every flex run has torn under attic heat takes longer and costs more. Either way, we give you one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts, so the number we quote is the number you pay.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in St. Augustine South
Standard air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning in St. Augustine South are usually scheduled within a few business days. Repair jobs with material replacement may need a short lead time to pull the right parts.

In nearly all cases, no. Air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and interior duct repair are considered routine maintenance and don’t require HOA review or city permits. If your exterior termination needs relocation or a new cap, we’ll flag it before doing anything that touches the outside of the home.
The age of the homes and the coastal air. Original 1970s and 1980s duct board and early flex duct sit in attics that hit 140°F in summer, and near-year-round humidity above 60% keeps the interior damp enough for mold growth. Salt air accelerates corrosion on metal boots and connections. That combination is uncommon in Nocatee or World Golf Village, but it’s the standard condition we see here.
