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 Before & After in Gilbert, AZ
We’ve cleaned ducts in Gilbert since 2013, and we’ve learned one thing: homeowners don’t trust what they can’t see. That’s why every job ends with a Documented Photo Record, included standard. This page shows what our crews actually find, what the equipment pulled out, and what the camera saw when we finished. No stock photos. No renders. Real ductwork from real homes in Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, and Queen Creek.
Recent Transformations
Heavy Dust Loading in a 1998 Trane System, Power Ranch
The camera showed a 2.5-inch debris build-up at the supply plenum (the metal box that distributes conditioned air to each duct run), choking airflow to the master bedroom and back office. We ran negative-pressure extraction through every duct run (the individual pathways from plenum to room register) using a Rotobrush system with HEPA filtration, then sealed the plenum access panel with mastic. The after photos showed bare galvanized steel at every turn. The homeowner’s written scope and photo record were delivered before we packed up.
Post-Construction Cleanup, Agritopia New Build
New builds in Gilbert aren’t clean inside. This Agritopia home had drywall dust, wood shavings, and a discarded lunch wrapper in the return plenum (the box that pulls air back to the HVAC unit for reconditioning). We used a Nikro industrial vacuum paired with Abatement Technologies portable HEPA containment to capture fine particulate without redistributing it through the house. The crew photographed every register (the vent cover where air enters or exits a room) before and after. The written price, agreed at $340 before we started, didn’t change when we found the wrapper.
Pet Hair Accumulation in a Multi-Return System, Seville
Three golden retrievers, twelve years, and a 2,800-square-foot home in Seville added up to matted pet hair coating the interior of four return duct runs. The camera showed hair packed against every elbow (the curved fitting that changes duct direction), reducing return airflow by an estimated 30%. We used Rotobrush agitation whips to break the matting loose, then extracted with continuous negative pressure so nothing escaped into living spaces. The photo record showed pink fiberglass duct liner, visible for the first time in a decade. Haven Standard Clause 1 applied: the written price of $295 was the final price.
Mold-Prone Flex Duct in a North Gilbert Crawl Space
Flex duct (the ribbed, insulated tubing common in homes built 2005-2015) in a North Gilbert crawl space had developed surface growth where condensation collected on the exterior wrap and wicked inward. We don’t guess at microbial issues. The crew documented the affected sections with photos, applied Guardsman antimicrobial treatment per manufacturer specification, and replaced two collapsed runs with new flex duct from our truck stock. The customer received before photos, treatment documentation, and after photos of every foot of new and cleaned duct. Total scope: $485, written and agreed before any panel came off.
Fire Hazard Dryer Vent, Val Vista Lakes
A Val Vista Lakes homeowner called after their dryer needed two cycles to finish a load. The rooftop termination (where the vent exits the structure) was packed with compressed lint across a 22-foot vertical run. We used a Nikro rotary brush with reverse airflow to pull the lint down rather than pushing it further in. The lint filled a 5-gallon bucket. Dryer vent fires peak in Gilbert’s dry months when static builds and lint ignites. The after photo showed a 4-inch clear round at the termination cap. Scope: $165, written price, photo record included.
Allergen Load Reduction, Morrison Ranch
A Morrison Ranch family with two asthmatic children had run HEPA room purifiers for three years without addressing the source. The camera showed pollen, skin flakes, and fine dust caked on the evaporator coil (the A-shaped component in the air handler that cools air by removing humidity) and throughout the supply plenum. We cleaned every duct run with Abatement Technologies negative-pressure equipment, upgraded the filter slot to accept Aprilaire 4-inch media, and installed a Honeywell UV-C lamp at the coil to inhibit biological growth. The written scope was $620 including the UV-C. The photo record showed the coil fins individually visible for the first time since installation.
