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 Maplewood, WA
Air duct cleaning in Maplewood, WA typically costs $380 – $590 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in 3 – 5 hours. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, and we run professional-grade Rotobrush brush systems and Nikro HEPA vacuums instead of truck-mounted shop-vac shortcuts. Maplewood’s older housing stock and wet, cool climate create specific challenges we’ll get into below. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Maplewood Homes Are Different
Maplewood sits in a pocket of the metro where homes skew older, and that changes what we find inside ductwork. Houses built in the 1950s and 1960s often have galvanized steel ducts that were sized for furnaces installed before modern filtration existed. The result is a slower air stream, which means dust settles inside the duct rather than being carried to the return filter. Combine that with Maplewood’s damp maritime air from October through April, and you get what we see regularly: fine particulate caked onto duct walls, sometimes a quarter-inch thick in main trunks. It’s not dramatic, but it loads the system down and recirculates what the filter can’t catch.
Maplewood’s terrain also matters. Homes in the hillier sections have longer return runs and more elbows than a flat lot, which gives debris more surface area to cling to. And a lot of these properties have crawlspaces rather than basements, so the return ducts running through them pick up moisture that makes dust sticky. None of this is unusual to us; it just means a Maplewood duct cleaning takes longer and requires more brush passes than a newer suburb home. The Nikro HEPA extraction we run keeps that loosened debris moving in one direction: out of the house, not back into the living room.
Our Main Maplewood Services
Most Maplewood homeowners call us for one of three things: dryer vent cleaning, full air duct cleaning, or an HVAC cleaning that includes the blower, coils, and housing. Each has its own page with pricing, process, and timelines.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Maplewood
Maplewood’s older homes often have dryer vents that were installed decades ago and never touched since. Runs that exit through roofs or crawlspaces collect lint faster than short exterior-wall vents, and in a damp climate that lint can mat up and block airflow entirely. We clear the full run with rotary brush tools, verify the termination opens fully, and leave you with a written summary of what we removed. For the full breakdown and pricing, see Dryer Vent Cleaning in Maplewood.
Air Duct Cleaning in Maplewood
Whole-home air duct cleaning here means all supply and return runs, the main trunk lines, and the register boxes. Maplewood’s older galvanized ducts respond well to aggressive brush agitation, and the Nikro HEPA vacuum keeps the process under negative pressure so nothing escapes into the rooms. We also check the duct insulation in those crawlspaces while we’re in there. Full details, including our 365-Day Done Right Promise, are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Maplewood page.
HVAC Cleaning in Maplewood
If your furnace has never been pulled apart, the blower wheel and evaporator coil are likely carrying years of buildup. That reduces airflow, makes the system work harder, and spreads dust even after ducts are cleaned. Our Maplewood HVAC cleanings cover the blower assembly, coil, drip pan, and housing, plus the ductwork upstream. See the HVAC Cleaning in Maplewood page for what’s included and what it costs.
