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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Spokane
Air duct cleaning in Spokane typically costs $350 – $650 for a standard single-system home, and a proper job takes three to five hours. You should budget for the whole system, not a per-vent price that climbs once the technician starts counting registers. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and we work across Spokane with one flat price per system agreed before a single duct is touched. Call (737) 727-2314 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail.
Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Spokane’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Spokane homeowners don’t need a sales pitch. They need someone who understands what a pre-1980 forced-air system on the South Hill actually looks like inside, and what it takes to clean it without cutting corners. That’s the work we do every week from Mead to Cheney. Our Air Duct Cleaning team runs Rotobrush agitation tools paired with Nikro HEPA vacuums, which matters in older homes where decades of dust have packed into trunk lines. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and arrives with a written price in hand before any equipment comes off the truck.
We’re held to The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That’s not a slogan. It means you get a live trackable arrival window, before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. Omar Haddad leads our Spokane-area operations, and the standard he sets is simple: if the work isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no exclusions.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from the brand’s Seattle office, and crews serve Spokane locally. That structure keeps our booking process phone-native and predictable, which is exactly what a homeowner in Spokane Valley wants when they’re scheduling around a workday.
Vent Cleaning in Spokane
Vent cleaning in Spokane means pulling the register covers, agitating the interior walls of each supply and return run, and extracting loosened debris under negative pressure so it doesn’t blow back into your living room. In older Spokane homes, especially those east of Division with original sheet-metal ductwork, registers accumulate a mix of construction dust, pet hair, and the fine grit that blows in during dry summer months. A supply and return vent cleaning as part of a full system job runs $350 – $650 depending on home size and duct configuration.
Supply and Return Vent Access
We don’t just clean what you can see. Supply runs in Spokane basements often sit behind finished drywall ceilings, which means access has to be planned, not guessed at. Return ducts pull from wall cavities and floor grates, and we clean both directions so air moves as the system was designed to move.
Camera Verification After the Work
Every vent cleaning includes video inspection. You’ll see the before-and-after footage of your own ductwork before you pay. If a register is unreachable or a run is crushed, you’ll know about it because the camera shows it, not because we tell you it’s fine and leave.
Air Duct Repair in Spokane
Air duct repair in Spokane often means sealing unsealed slip joints on original sheet-metal trunk lines, a condition we find constantly in homes built before 1980. Those joints let conditioned air escape into wall cavities and pull dust from the basement into the supply stream. A repair job runs $150 – $450 for typical resealing and patching, and we hand you a written quote before any repair begins. Every repair carries a written guarantee and a free second visit if it fails.
Sealing and Reconnecting Runs
Disconnected runs are common in Spokane attics and crawl spaces, especially where duct tape has dried and let go. We reconnect, seal with mastic, and verify airflow at the register. The fix usually takes under an hour once the system is opened.
Crushed or Damaged Duct Replacement
Older flexible duct in Spokane homes sometimes gets crushed during insulation work or pest intrusion. We replace the damaged section rather than patching over it, and the price is agreed before we cut anything. You’ll see the damaged section on camera first.
Trusted Brands We Service in Spokane
We stock common parts and filters for the systems Spokane homes actually run, including Honeywell filtration products and Aprilaire media cabinets. Our cleaning fleet uses Nikro HEPA extraction vacuums and Abatement Technologies containment units, which matters when we’re working in finished Spokane basements where dust containment is non-negotiable. If your system uses a specific filter size or media cabinet, we can usually have it on the truck the day we arrive.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Spokane Homes
- Original sheet-metal trunk lines with unsealed slip joints. Homes built before 1980, common across the South Hill and northeast Spokane, often still run their original ductwork. Those joints leak air and pull basement dust into the system.
- Matted lint pathways coating the blower motor. We regularly find blower motor housings packed with a thick lint and dust mat, especially in homes with pets and old carpet. This restricts airflow and forces the furnace to work harder.
- Disconnected runs hidden behind finished ceilings. Spokane basements get refinished over the years, and duct runs get disconnected or crushed during remodeling. Camera inspection is the only way to find them without tearing out drywall.
- Dry summer dust accumulation. Spokane’s dry season from June through September introduces fine particulates that settle deep in ducts. By the time fall heating season arrives, that dust cycles through the house every time the blower kicks on.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Spokane, WA
A standard single-system air duct cleaning in Spokane runs $350 – $650, and that’s one flat price per system agreed before we begin. Larger homes with multiple air handlers or extensive return runs run $650 – $900. We don’t quote per vent. Per-vent pricing on an older Spokane house with fifteen or twenty original registers is how a $99 coupon becomes a $700 invoice. Our written quote is the price, period.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Spokane
Every five to seven years for most Spokane homes. You can stretch that if you have no pets, change filters monthly during fire season, and live in a newer home with tight ductwork. You should move it up if you’re seeing dust on registers within days of cleaning, or if anyone in the house has allergies that worsen when the furnace runs. Call (737) 727-2314 and describe your system, and we’ll tell you honestly if it’s time or if it can wait.
Flat price per system, always. We look at the home, the number of air handlers, and the duct layout, then write you one number before any work begins. That number does not change based on how many registers we count once we’re inside. If you’ve been quoted per vent anywhere else in Spokane, ask them what the total will be with every register included, and compare that to our number.
We connect a HEPA-filtered negative-pressure vacuum to the trunk line, then run agitation tools through every supply and return run to break debris loose. The loosened material goes straight into the vacuum, not back into the house. Afterward we run a camera through the ductwork so you can see the before-and-after condition of your own system. The whole process takes three to five hours for a typical Spokane home.
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning is a separate service from air duct cleaning, and we do it as part of our HVAC and dryer vent work across Spokane. A clogged dryer vent is a real fire risk, and it’s one of the few home maintenance jobs where the stakes justify doing it on a strict schedule. We’ll quote it separately and you’ll see the lint we pull out.
No, and we won’t pretend to. A proper air duct cleaning in a Spokane home takes three to five hours of real work with professional-grade equipment. Any company promising same-day service on a source-removal job is either cutting the process short or pressuring you into a partial job. We’ll schedule you promptly, give you a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard, and complete the job properly in one visit. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll find the next available slot that fits your schedule.
