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 Swampscott, MA
Linden Air Duct Cleaning handles air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and air duct repair for homeowners across Swampscott, MA. Homes here face a specific problem most inland towns never deal with: salt-laden Atlantic air pulls through HVAC intakes year-round, corroding ductwork and holding moisture inside the system. We work with older coastal homes every week, and we quote every job with a written price before any work begins. Call (980) 447-2498 to get yours.
Why Swampscott Homes Are Different
Swampscott sits directly on Massachusetts Bay, and neighborhoods like Phillips Beach and Beach Bluff get steady marine air through outdoor intakes. That salt accelerates rust on sheet-metal ducts while raising indoor humidity enough to feed mold inside the ductwork. It’s a compounding problem, and it makes air duct cleaning here more urgent and more technically demanding than in inland North Shore towns like Danvers or Peabody a few miles west.
The housing stock adds another layer. Much of Swampscott was built in the late-Victorian and early-20th-century era, and these homes originally had steam or hot-water radiators, meaning no ductwork at all. Forced-air HVAC was retrofitted later, often through tight plaster wall cavities, crawl spaces, and finished basements. Duct runs end up irregular and undersized, with turns that trap debris in ways a clean rectangular run never would. Along Puritan Road and other oceanfront streets, basement mechanical rooms sometimes take on water during nor’easters. The flexible duct boots connecting to furnace plenums in those damp basements are a recurring spot for mold and compacted debris that then circulates through the whole house whenever the blower runs.
Our Main Swampscott Services
Most Swampscott homeowners call us for one of three jobs: full air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, or targeted duct repair. Each has its own page with specifics for this town.
Air Duct Cleaning in Swampscott
Full air duct cleaning in Swampscott means negative-pressure extraction, where our Rotobrush system pulls debris out rather than pushing it around. In older retrofitted homes with undersized duct runs, this matters more than it does in newer construction, because the narrow passages pack in dust, salt residue, and sometimes mold. We clean supply and return plenums, registers, and branch lines, then verify the result. Get the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Swampscott page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Swampscott
Dryer vents in Swampscott clog faster in homes near the water because salt and humidity make lint clump and stick to the vent walls instead of blowing through. A blocked dryer vent is a fire risk, and it also makes your dryer run longer on every load. We use Nikro equipment to clear the line from the dryer to the exterior cap and check the cap itself for damage. Details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Swampscott page.
Air Duct Repair in Swampscott
Coastal salt air shortens the life of sheet-metal duct sections, and older Swampscott homes often have joints that have loosened over decades of heating and cooling cycles. We replace damaged runs, seal leaks, and repair crushed or disconnected branch lines in places like the finished basements and crawl spaces common to this town. Every repair comes with a written guarantee. Read more on the Air Duct Repair in Swampscott page.

What Swampscott Customers Say
"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."
- Meredith L."Tech arrived with a badge and a printed sheet of what he'd be doing. Ran a camera through the main trunk before and after so I could see the dust difference. Vents smell cleaner already."
- Gina R."Priced by the system, not by the vent, and he told me up front. No pressure to add the sanitizer and I said no without any fuss."
