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 in Bloomingdale, FL
Dryer vent cleaning in Bloomingdale addresses a specific problem: most homes here were built in the 1980s and 1990s with builder-grade flex duct that has now spent 25 to 40 years in unconditioned attics. Combined with Hillsborough County’s six-month high-humidity season, that creates lint clogs, mold growth, and duct separation that newer homes simply don’t see on the same scale. We quote a written price before any work starts, and we photograph every job before and after. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
Why Bloomingdale Homes Are Different
Bloomingdale’s housing stock is unusually consistent, and that consistency drives what our technicians find inside the ductwork. The community built out almost entirely during the 1980s-1990s Florida growth boom, which means most Bloomingdale homes run original flexible duct through unconditioned attics that routinely hit 130°F in summer. Flex duct from that era has a known failure pattern: the inner liner tears, the outer jacket sags between strap supports, and at low points, condensate pools and biological growth concentrates. We find sagging duct sections in Bloomingdale subdivisions so often that a visual attic inspection before quoting is standard practice for us, because a collapsed or kinked section needs more than cleaning.
The climate compounds it. Bloomingdale sits inland in central Hillsborough County, away from coastal breezes, which means dew points stay above 75°F from May through October. When the air handler cycles off, warm humid attic air migrates into poorly sealed flex duct and condenses on the cooler interior. That daily condensation cycle is what fuels mold inside ducts. Every summer month repeats it. A home in Bloomingdale with original 1990s flex duct has effectively been running a humidity chamber in its attic for decades.
Our Main Bloomingdale Services
Most Bloomingdale homeowners call us about two services: full air duct cleaning for the entire HVAC system, and HVAC cleaning that targets the air handler, coil, and blower assembly.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bloomingdale
This is a whole-system cleaning of every duct run, the plenum, and the registers. In Bloomingdale, the job starts with a camera inspection because so many 1980s and 1990s flex duct systems have hidden tears, kinks, or sagging sections that affect how we clean and whether we recommend repair work first. Negative-pressure extraction pulls debris out without blowing it into the living space, and the photo record shows what came out. Learn more about Air Duct Cleaning in Bloomingdale.
HVAC Cleaning in Bloomingdale
HVAC cleaning focuses on the mechanical side: evaporator coil, blower wheel, drain pan, and air handler cabinet. In Bloomingdale, attic-mounted air handlers sweat through long humid seasons, and that moisture collects dust into a paste on the coil. We clean with professional-grade equipment and document the difference with before and after photos. See HVAC Cleaning in Bloomingdale for pricing and details.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Bloomingdale
Dryer vent cleaning in Bloomingdale is a scheduled maintenance job, not an emergency call, and the most common thing we find is a vent run that has never been opened since the house was built. Homes from the 1980s and 1990s in Bloomingdale often have long dryer vent runs that exit through the roof or a side wall, with screws, foil tape, and internal lint baffles that trap moisture and lint together until the run is partially blocked. That is a fire hazard and a hidden efficiency drain, and it is also one of the most straightforward jobs we do. We quote a written flat price before the dryer is touched, then we photograph the inside of the vent before and after so you can see the difference. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning service covers everything from basic lint removal to full vent rerouting.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Dryer takes longer than 40 minutes to dry a normal load, or the exterior vent hood doesn’t open and close freely when the dryer runs.
What it costs in Bloomingdale
A dryer vent inspection in Bloomingdale typically runs $75-$149, and that includes a written report with photos.
How we do it
We run a camera through the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, measuring distance, locating blockages, and noting any sagging, kinked, or disconnected sections.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
A thin layer of lint accumulates on surfaces near the dryer within a day or two, or the dryer shuts itself off mid-cycle.
What it costs in Bloomingdale
Standalone lint removal in Bloomingdale typically runs $119-$199 depending on vent length and access.
How we do it
We run a rotary brush and negative-pressure vacuum through the vent run, then verify the result with the camera and photograph the before and after.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The current vent run exceeds 25 feet, has more than two elbows, or the duct is vinyl or foil flex instead of rigid metal.
What it costs in Bloomingdale
A full vent rerouting job in Bloomingdale typically runs $250-$595, priced flat per project before work begins.
How we do it
We remove the old run, install rigid metal duct with minimal bends, secure every joint, and re-terminate at the exterior with a proper hood and pest guard.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Bloomingdale
| Item | Typical range in Bloomingdale |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $75-$149 |
| Lint removal (standalone) | $119-$199 |
| Full vent cleaning with camera verification | $149-$249 |
| Vent rerouting | $250-$595 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Bloomingdale?
Every 12 months for homes with roof or through-wall runs, and every 6 to 12 months if you run the dryer daily. Bloomingdale’s high humidity increases lint clumping, so annual cleaning is the minimum we recommend. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule with a written price first.
Can a blocked dryer vent cause mold in Bloomingdale?
Yes. A restricted vent holds hot humid air longer, which condenses inside the run and dampens accumulated lint. That creates mold growth and a musty smell in the laundry area. We photograph the obstruction and the result. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Bloomingdale
Duct repair and sealing in Bloomingdale is, in our experience, the most under-specified job in this trade. The aging flex duct in Bloomingdale’s 1980s and 1990s attics kinks, separates at joints, and tears at the inner liner, which means air you paid to condition leaks into the attic while humid attic air is sucked into the returns. We quote the repair as a written flat price, and the photo record shows exactly what we fixed. Our Duct Repair & Sealing service covers sealing, replacement, insulation, and mastic work.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms on the far end of the house never reach the thermostat setpoint, or you can feel airflow at duct joints when the system runs.
What it costs in Bloomingdale
Sealing duct joints and small tears in Bloomingdale typically runs $250-$450, depending on how many accessible runs need work.
How we do it
We locate leaks by hand and with a smoke pencil, then apply mastic and fiberglass mesh at every joint, seam, and takeoff.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
A sagging section of flex duct is visible in the attic, or there is a noticeable hiss of escaping air near the air handler.
What it costs in Bloomingdale
Repairing or replacing a section of flex duct in Bloomingdale typically runs $150-$350 per run, depending on length and access.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section, install new R-6 insulated flex duct, support it properly with straps, and seal both ends with mastic.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Bloomingdale
| Item | Typical range in Bloomingdale |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing (joints and small tears) | $250-$450 |
| Flex duct section replacement | $150-$350 per run |
| Full system mastic seal | $600-$1,200 |
Does duct sealing require a permit in Bloomingdale?
No permit is required for sealing or repairing existing ductwork in Hillsborough County. Replacing an entire duct system may require one, and we handle that if it applies. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate.
How do I know if my Bloomingdale ducts need repair or just cleaning?
If the camera shows tears, kinks, or separated joints, cleaning alone won’t solve it. We include a camera inspection before any cleaning so you know what the system actually needs. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Bloomingdale
Air quality and sanitizing in Bloomingdale is a job for a specific diagnosis before any treatment goes into the system. The age and moisture profile of Bloomingdale’s ductwork means we often find biological growth concentrated at low points in sagging flex runs and on the inside of the air handler cabinet, and treating the whole system without identifying those spots wastes time and product. We document the condition with photos, quote a flat price, and run only products appropriate for the specific problem. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service includes mold treatment, odor removal, and UV or air purifier installation.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty smell comes from the vents when the system runs, or visible microbial growth appears on the coil or inside the plenum.
What it costs in Bloomingdale
Mold treatment for a single system in Bloomingdale typically runs $350-$750, depending on how much surface area is affected.
How we do it
We identify the affected surfaces with the camera, clean them with equipment from brands like Rotobrush and Nikro, then apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial and photograph the result.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Persistent cooking, pet, or smoke odor remains after normal cleaning, or the odor intensifies when the HVAC system runs.
What it costs in Bloomingdale
Odor removal in Bloomingdale typically runs $200-$400, priced after we identify the source of the smell.
How we do it
We locate the odor source, clean the affected surfaces, then treat with a deodorizing agent appropriate for the material and the smell.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Bloomingdale
| Item | Typical range in Bloomingdale |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (single system) | $350-$750 |
| Odor removal | $200-$400 |
| UV light installation | $450-$900 |
Does sanitizing kill mold for good in Bloomingdale’s climate?
Sanitizing kills what is there, but Bloomingdale’s humidity can feed new growth if the moisture source remains. We address the moisture issue first, then treat surfaces. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written assessment.
Is fogging the whole duct system better than targeted treatment?
No. Fogging treats everything lightly, but Bloomingdale’s mold problems concentrate where moisture pools. We prefer targeted cleaning and treatment with documented before and after photos. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
