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 Union Hill-Novelty Hill, WA
Air duct cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill typically costs $380 – $690 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are completed in 3 – 5 hours. Homes here sit at some of the highest elevation on the Sammamish Plateau, which means longer duct runs, harder-working furnaces, and more fine dust from the surrounding Evergreen forest canopy. Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning handles all three core jobs – dryer vents, full air duct systems, and HVAC components – with written pricing before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 for an exact quote.
Why Union Hill-Novelty Hill Homes Are Different
Union Hill-Novelty Hill sits on the northern shoulder of the Sammamish Plateau, and the elevation shows in the air system. Homes here pull in air that has filtered through Douglas fir and western red cedar for miles, which sounds good until you see what that air deposits: a fine, gray-green pollen film that works its way through return registers and settles deep into trunk lines. The hardpan and clay soil below the topsoil layer means every driveway, every crawlspace entry, every boot scrape carries a finer dust than what you would find down in the valley. That dust does not stay outside.
The housing stock compounds it. This is not a neighborhood of uniform tract homes from a single builder. You will find 1990s and early-2000s builds off Avondale Road with flex duct that has gone brittle in the attic heat, and newer construction up near Novelty Hill Road where the systems are tighter but the filter situation is still whatever came with the house. Many homes here run their furnaces steadily from late October through April at this elevation, and dry, recirculated air inside means whatever is in the ducts gets cycled through repeatedly. We also see a higher share of second-story master suites with long branch lines that never quite deliver the airflow the original design promised. That is an HVAC cleaning job more than a duct problem, but it is a Union Hill-Novelty Hill pattern we know well.
Our Main Union Hill-Novelty Hill Services
These are the three services we run across Union Hill-Novelty Hill, each detailed on its own page with local pricing for this market.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill
Dryer vents in this area run long. Union Hill-Novelty Hill homes frequently route dryer exhaust from second-floor laundry rooms down through walls and across crawlspaces before the vent ever reaches outside, and every added foot of duct is another foot where lint collects. On top of that, the cold, damp mornings common up on the plateau mean lint that would stay dry in other climates instead clings and compacts inside the vent. A clogged vent makes the dryer run longer, and lint is fuel. We run a Rotobrush through the full run, verify airflow at the exterior termination point, and show you photos of the vent before and after. Read the full breakdown on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill
Whole-home air duct cleaning here means addressing the fine particulate load that plateau living produces: pine pollen, construction dust from active build-out in the area, pet dander, and the general dust that accumulates when homes are closed up for the long heating season. We create negative pressure at the duct system with a Nikro HEPA vacuum – that means debris goes out through the vacuum and not back into your living space – then agitate every line with a powered rotary brush. Supply lines, return lines, trunk lines, and the plenum all get worked. The full scope and local price ranges are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill page.
HVAC Cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill
HVAC cleaning goes past the ducts into the equipment itself: the blower motor, evaporator coil, drain pan and line, and the inside of the air handler cabinet. At this elevation, coils collect the same fine particulate that builds in the ducts, and a layer of grime on the evaporator coil is the single easiest way to lose cooling capacity in summer and heating efficiency in winter. We also check the condensate drain, because a backed-up drain line can damage the furnace board. We use Abatement Technologies containment where the job calls for it. See what a full HVAC cleaning includes on our HVAC Cleaning in Union Hill-Novelty Hill page.
