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 Westerville, OH
Air duct cleaning in Westerville means working inside homes built mostly between 1960 and 1985, when ranch and split-level floorplans dominated and builders ran ductwork through framed wall cavities rather than sealed metal trunk lines. That changes what we see when we open register covers, and it changes how long a proper job takes. Central Ohio humidity adds its own layer: damp summers bake condensation into older ductwork, and Alum Creek’s proximity keeps basement moisture high through spring. If you’ve never had your ducts cleaned and your home is over 40 years old, the system is well past any reasonable service interval. Call us at (980) 447-2498 and we’ll walk you through what applies to your floorplan.
Why Westerville Homes Are Different
Westerville’s residential build-out happened in two distinct waves, and both now present duct systems with problems you won’t find in the newer Columbus suburbs. The 1960s and 1970s brought the big planned subdivisions like Huber Village, full of ranches and split-levels whose original sheet-metal ductwork is now 50 to 60 years old. Many of those homes used wood wall cavities as return-air plenums, an accepted shortcut of that era. What that means today: insulation particles, decades of dust, and sometimes rodent debris sit packed inside the wall itself, beyond the reach of a standard vacuum wand unless we cut a clean access panel and work through it. The Uptown corridor adds a second challenge, with pre-1940 homes that had HVAC retrofitted into older framing, creating irregular duct runs and hard-to-access trunk lines that were never designed for modern forced air. Both housing types share the same central Ohio climate: humid summers with sustained high dew points, cold dry winters, and enough spring condensation cycles to promote mold and dust-mite growth inside any duct system that hasn’t been maintained.
Our Main Westerville Services
Most Westerville homeowners call us for one of two reasons: the ducts themselves haven’t been cleaned in years, or the dryer vent has become a lint trap. Repair work comes up when either of those jobs exposes deteriorated connections or damaged runs. Here’s what each service covers on the ground in Westerville, with its own dedicated page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Westerville
A 1960s ranch in Huber Village is not the same job as a 1990s colonial in a newer subdivision. We run negative-pressure extraction through the supply and return sides, cutting access where the home uses wall-cavity returns, because that’s where the worst accumulation hides. Insulation particles, drywall dust from decades of small renovations, and hair all settle low in wall cavities where the air still moves. Every job gets a written price before we begin, and our technicians are background-checked, identity-verified, and arrive with the name and photo you already received. Learn exactly what the job involves on our Air Duct Cleaning in Westerville page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westerville
Dryer vents in Westerville split-levels often run long horizontal distances from the laundry room to an exterior wall, and every foot adds lint accumulation and airflow resistance. What we see most often: vent runs behind finished basement ceilings that slow lint flow, and terminations that were never fitted with a proper pest guard. That’s the dryer-vent lint trap bypass in real terms. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westerville page covers how we access long runs without tearing out finished surfaces, and what a written, flat price includes.
Air Duct Repair in Westerville
Older Westerville ductwork fails at the connections first. Sheet-metal seams pop loose after 50 years of heating and cooling cycles; flex duct in once-replaced runs sags and tears at support points. When we find a disconnected return or a kinked supply run during cleaning, the repair gets a separate written quote before any additional work begins. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if it fails within the covered period, we return at no charge. Our Air Duct Repair in Westerville page explains what we fix and what we flag instead.

Westerville prices run toward the upper half of these ranges when we’re working inside wall-cavity returns, when the home has multiple trunk lines, or when basement humidity has caused duct insulation to separate and require replacement. You get one flat price per system in writing before any work begins, every time.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Westerville
We work in every Westerville neighborhood, and the job tends to run a little differently depending on the era of construction.

Yes. We serve every part of Westerville, from pre-war homes near Uptown to the newer construction around Alum Creek.
