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 Wauna, WA
Air duct cleaning in Wauna runs $395 – $685 for most homes, with dryer vent service at $125 – $245 and HVAC cleaning between $295 – $595. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family founded in 2005, and every job starts with a written price before any work begins. Wauna’s older homes, wet winters, and wooded lots create a specific mix of dust, pet dander, and moisture that settles into ductwork faster than most homeowners expect. If your vents haven’t been opened up in years, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll tell you exactly what you’re looking at.
Why Wauna Homes Are Different
Wauna sits low and green along the Key Peninsula, and that setting shapes the air inside its homes more than people realize. The damp maritime climate means duct interiors stay humid for months, which lets dust bond to surfaces instead of blowing through. When we open a return register in Wauna, we’re usually looking at compacted debris that a standard household vacuum won’t touch. Combine that with mature fir and cedar dropping fine needles and pollen, plus the occasional woodstove that shares living space with central air, and you get a lot more buildup than a drier inland home would see.
The housing stock runs older – 1970s ramblers, modest split-levels, the occasional newer build cut into a wooded lot. Many of these homes have never had their ductwork cleaned, and plenty have flexible duct sections that collect moisture and quiet neglect. Add in the fact that most Wauna households rely on well water rather than city supply, and humidity from baths, laundry, and cooking tends to stay in the house through the damp season. That moisture is the difference between loose dust you can sneeze at and compressed grime that needs a professional-grade rotary brush system to pull free.
Our Main Wauna Services
Most callers reach us for one of two reasons: either a dryer that’s taking forever to finish a load, or vents that haven’t been touched since the house was built. Here’s how each service runs in Wauna.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wauna
You’ll know it’s time when a load that used to dry in forty minutes now runs ninety. In Wauna, dryer vents often exit through a crawlspace or up through a roof on a single-story, and that long vertical run – especially a corrugated foil one – collects lint fast. We run a rotating brush down the full line and pull everything out with a HEPA vacuum, no mess left behind. It reduces fire risk from lint buildup and cuts your dry time noticeably. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wauna covers everything you should expect on the day.
Air Duct Cleaning in Wauna
Our core job in Wauna is pulling years of compacted dust, pet hair, construction debris, and whatever else has settled into your supply and return ducts. We use a Rotobrush rotary brush system to break buildup loose, then extract it with Nikro HEPA-rated negative pressure – meaning loose debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. You get before-and-after photos, so you can actually see the difference. Air Duct Cleaning in Wauna includes pricing specifics and how long the job takes.
HVAC Cleaning in Wauna
When the furnace blower, coil, and housing haven’t been cleaned in a decade, they move less air and hold onto more moisture. We clean the blower assembly, drain pan, and accessible coil so the system isn’t circulating air across a layer of its own buildup. It’s the companion job to duct cleaning – if you’re doing the ducts, the HVAC internals are usually just as dirty. See HVAC Cleaning in Wauna for what’s included and what things cost in this area.
