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 Three Lakes, FL
Air duct cleaning in Three Lakes typically costs between $350 and $650 for a standard single-system home, depending on the number of vents and the condition of the ductwork. Our crews work throughout this lake-adjacent corner of southern Miami-Dade County, where the housing stock and humidity create a set of duct problems we don’t see in most other parts of South Florida. If you’re looking for a straight answer on whether your ducts need attention and what it’ll cost, you can call us at (980) 447-2498 and speak with a person who knows Three Lakes jobs.
Why Three Lakes Homes Are Different
Three Lakes sits low and flat, hemmed in by open water on multiple sides and the Everglades edge to the west. That geography keeps relative humidity high enough that HVAC systems here run nearly year-round, and the flex duct common to this housing stock absorbs that moisture continuously. In neighborhoods built during Miami-Dade’s southward expansion, most homes date from the 1970s through the 1990s, and their duct runs travel through unconditioned attics that climb past 140°F in summer. That combination – attic heat attacking flex duct liner from outside while ground-level humidity works on it from inside – shortens the useful life of ductwork faster than in coastal-elevated or inland communities.
We regularly open air handler platforms in Three Lakes and find black mold at the flex-duct collar seals and pooled condensation in systems that are only 8 to 10 years old. Homeowners who’ve never had their ducts inspected often don’t realize the problem until allergies worsen or a musty smell starts cycling through the vents. The lake proximity means attic humidity stays elevated even on afternoons that feel mild at ground level, so the microbial growth keeps working between service visits.
Our Main Three Lakes Services
Three Lakes homeowners call us most often for two things: cleaning out what’s accumulated over years of subtropical operation, and repairing duct runs that the heat and humidity have degraded. Each service has its own Three Lakes page with pricing and specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Three Lakes
In Three Lakes, air duct cleaning runs to the heavier side because of what we’re removing. Beyond the usual dust and pet hair, these systems accumulate mold colonization and dust-mite debris at a faster clip than drier parts of the metro, so the job often includes sanitizing treatments after the negative-pressure extraction is done. A full write-up of how we handle supply and return plenums, air handler boots, and the flex runs common to this area’s homes is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Three Lakes page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Three Lakes
Lint-clogged dryer vents are a fire risk anywhere, but in Three Lakes they also stay damp. The same ambient moisture that feeds duct mold means lint inside a vent can form a dense, matted plug rather than a dry, loose accumulation. Our dryer vent cleaning here addresses the lint trap bypass, the full vent run, and the exterior termination, all with a written price before we start. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Three Lakes for the local details and range.
Air Duct Repair in Three Lakes
Given the housing stock, many Three Lakes repair calls involve flex duct that’s gone brittle in the attic heat or collar seals that have failed from years of condensation. We replace damaged runs, reseal boots and plenum connections, and bring the system back to proper static pressure. Every repair gets a written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails, we come back at no charge. The full scope is detailed on the Air Duct Repair in Three Lakes page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Three Lakes, FL
Here’s what whole-system pricing realistically looks like in Three Lakes. These are ranges for the complete job, never per-vent teasers:

|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning, standard single system | $350 – $650 |
| Air duct cleaning, larger two-story homes | $600 – $950 |
| Sanitizing treatment after cleaning | $150 – $300 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, single vent | $125 – $250 |

| Plenum repair or sealing | $250 – $500 |
| Full duct inspection with photos | $100 – $200 |
Two things push prices toward the upper end here: heavy mold colonization that adds sanitizing time, and brittle flex duct that turns a cleaning into a cleaning-plus-repair job. Whatever the number, it’s put in writing before any work begins, and it’s the number you’ll pay.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Three Lakes
Most Three Lakes jobs are scheduled within the same week, and we typically offer morning or afternoon arrival windows. We don’t do tight two-hour windows because the work itself has too many variables, but we’ll give you a firm arrival window the day before and call when the technician is on the way. You’ll also have the tech’s name and photo before the visit.
Duct cleaning and most duct repair doesn’t trigger permitting in Miami-Dade County, and HOA restrictions rarely apply to work inside the home or within the HVAC system itself. If a repair involves an exterior component like a roof vent or a dryer termination, we’ll flag it and let you handle any HOA check before we start. We won’t begin exterior work without your go-ahead.
The persistent lake-level humidity in Three Lakes keeps the inside of ductwork damp, which accelerates mold colonization and dust-mite debris buildup compared to drier parts of the county. Homes here often need cleaning and sanitizing in a single visit, and many benefit from re-inspection after two years rather than the three-to-five year interval common elsewhere in Florida.
For a straightforward cleaning, yes. We can quote a firm range over the phone once we know the square footage, the number of vents, and whether the home has one or two systems. If the job turns up unexpected problems – like brittle flex duct that needs replacement – we’ll quote that separately and in writing before doing additional work. You’re never obligated to approve extra work mid-job. Call (980) 447-2498 for a free estimate.

What Three Lakes 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."
- Faith N.
