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 Dundalk, MD
Air duct cleaning in Dundalk typically runs $400 – $800 for a standard single-system home, and the job itself takes about half a day. Dundalk’s housing stock is a mix of 1950s – 1970s rowhomes, brick duplexes, and newer HVAC retrofits, which means most systems we open have decades of accumulated dust, pet dander, and sometimes construction debris from previous renovations. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Dundalk Homes Are Different
Dundalk sits right on the Patapsco River and Bear Creek, so humidity is a constant. That moisture settles in ductwork and turns ordinary dust into a paste that sticks to duct walls. Homes in Old Dundalk and Gray Manor were largely built in the post-war boom, and many still run the original return-air design: a single central return on the main floor that pulls air through bedrooms and hallways on its way back to the furnace. It works, but it also means bedroom duct runs collect far more than their share of lint and hair.
We also see a lot of window-unit-to-central conversions in Dundalk. When a homeowner swaps window AC for central air, contractors sometimes reuse existing chase spaces that were never sized for the job. The result is high static pressure and ducts that clog faster than they should. Add in the salt air off the bay and you get light surface corrosion on older galvanized duct sections. None of it is a crisis, but it changes how we clean: we take our time on returns, and we always check the boots and registers for rust scale before we finish.
Our Main Dundalk Services
Most Dundalk homeowners call us for one of three jobs: dryer vent cleaning, full air duct cleaning, or HVAC system cleaning. Each one has its own page with pricing and specifics.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dundalk
Dundalk’s older rowhomes often route dryer vents through short, straight runs in the basement or out a side wall, which is easier to clean than a long roof vent but still traps lint at the elbows. We use Nikro HEPA vacuums and rotary brushes to clear the full run, then we check the exterior cap for bird nests and flap seal. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry a load, the vent is the first place we look. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dundalk is a separate page with local pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Dundalk
A full duct cleaning in Dundalk means cleaning every supply run, the return side, the trunk lines, and the boots. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush system coupled with Nikro negative-pressure extraction, meaning loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum and not back into your living room. Homes near North Point Boulevard tend to accumulate more road dust, and we account for that. Air Duct Cleaning in Dundalk covers the full process and prices.
HVAC Cleaning in Dundalk
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts. We clean the blower motor, evaporator coil, drain pan, and condensate line, then treat the coil with an EPA-registered antimicrobial. Dundalk’s humidity makes the evaporator coil a prime spot for microbial growth, and a dirty coil cuts efficiency by up to 30%. HVAC Cleaning in Dundalk explains the entire procedure.
