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 Kenmore, WA
Air duct cleaning in Kenmore, WA typically runs $450 – $850 for a standard single-system home, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Kenmore’s mix of 1960s – 1990s split-levels and newer hillside builds, combined with wet winters and cedar-heavy landscaping, means ducts here collect a specific blend of moisture-driven dust, pollen, and construction debris. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, and every Kenmore job includes a written price before we touch a single vent. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Kenmore Homes Are Different
Kenmore sits at the north end of Lake Washington, where the Sammamish River drains into the lake. That geography shapes the air inside local homes more than most homeowners realize. The consistent humidity near the lake and creek corridors means duct interiors stay damp longer after each heating season. Damp duct interiors collect dust differently than dry ones. They compact. They stick to the duct walls. A simple visual inspection from the register often misses what’s built up deeper in the return lines.
The housing stock compounds it. Homes in the Inglewood and Moorlands neighborhoods were largely built between 1965 and 1985. Many still run their original sheet-metal trunk lines wrapped in fiberglass that’s now forty to sixty years old. That insulation sheds into the airstream as it degrades, and Kenmore’s steep, tree-covered lots mean crawlspaces and attics stay damp longer than they do on flat, open ground a few miles south. Homes along 68th Ave NE and near Saint Edward State Park deal with fir needle debris and fine cedar pollen that works its way into return-air cavities during the dry summer months. We see the same pattern in newer builds near the Inglewood Golf Club: construction dust sealed into the system before the first owner ever moved in.
Permits aren’t required for duct cleaning in Kenmore, and no HOA in the city restricts the work itself. Scheduling around a lot’s steep driveway access is the bigger variable, but our crews handle hillside homes in Kenmore regularly without issue.
Our Main Kenmore Services
Kenmore homeowners call us most about two things: clogged dryer vents and full-system duct cleaning, with HVAC cleaning close behind once they see how the three systems connect. Each service has its own dedicated Kenmore page with local pricing and the details of how the work gets done.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kenmore
Dryer vents in Kenmore run longer and bend more than in most cities, because lot shapes force upstairs laundry rooms and the vent path has to snake down through exterior walls toward a ground-level termination. Every extra foot and elbow is a place lint catches and compacts. With the damp lake air, that lint doesn’t stay dry; it mats. We run a Rotobrush through the full length of the vent and verify airflow at the exterior hood before we leave. Full details and Kenmore pricing are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kenmore page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kenmore
A full-system air duct cleaning in Kenmore covers supply, return, and trunk lines from the plenum outward. We use a negative-pressure extraction setup with a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulling continuously while a Rotobrush loosens the compacted buildup that Kenmore’s humidity creates. That combination matters here: brushing alone kicks debris up, and vacuum alone won’t break the damp, packed layer free. Before-and-after photo documentation is standard on every job. The full breakdown and current range is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Kenmore page.
HVAC Cleaning in Kenmore
HVAC cleaning in Kenmore goes past the ducts themselves and includes the blower motor, evaporator coil, and condensate pan. On hillside lots, condensate lines often run long and at shallow angles, so they plug more often than they do in flat neighborhoods. A plugged line backs water into the air handler and feeds the exact damp-dust compaction we talked about earlier. We clear the line, clean the coil, and confirm the blower is moving rated airflow. Kenmore specifics live on the HVAC Cleaning in Kenmore page.

No. Kenmore HOAs, including those around Inglewood and the lakefront, do not regulate interior duct, dryer vent, or HVAC cleaning. The work happens inside your home’s mechanical systems and no exterior modification is involved, so no approval is needed.
Some larger hillside homes in Kenmore run two separate HVAC systems, often one for the main level and one for a daylight basement. We quote each system separately and you’ll see both line items on your written price before we begin. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote.
