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 West and East Lealman, FL
Dryer vent cleaning in West and East Lealman addresses a problem that shows up faster here than almost anywhere else in Pinellas County: lint packing into 1950s-1970s vent runs that were never designed for modern dryer airflow. We opened more than a few Lealman dryer vents this year where the camera showed lint compressed so hard it had to be scraped out in layers, not vacuumed. If your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any work starts.
Why West and East Lealman Homes Are Different
West and East Lealman sit on the narrow Pinellas Peninsula, pinned between Tampa Bay and the Gulf. That geography traps humidity at levels that run higher than inland Tampa, and the air handlers in Lealman’s post-war concrete block homes cycle against near-constant elevated dew points for nine or ten months a year. The result is ductwork that never fully dries.
The housing stock compounds it. Most homes here went up between roughly 1950 and 1975, and a large share still run their original or first-replacement fiberglass duct board. In this humidity, that material soaks up moisture, sheds particulates, and becomes a substrate for mold growth far faster than the sheet metal ductwork common in newer construction. We also work on a notable number of mobile and manufactured homes in the CDPs, which have belly-wrap or short trunk-and-branch duct configurations that demand a different cleaning approach entirely. Median incomes in these unincorporated communities run well below neighboring St. Petersburg, so HVAC maintenance has often been deferred for years. We routinely find contamination at first service call that would be unusual in a wealthier market.
Our Main West and East Lealman Services
Most Lealman homeowners call us first about two things: the full air duct cleaning that clears years of accumulated debris from the system, and the HVAC cleaning that addresses the air handler, coil, and blower where that debris gets pulled through.
Air Duct Cleaning in West and East Lealman
In West and East Lealman, full duct cleaning often means dealing with fiberglass duct board that has been absorbing peninsula humidity for decades. We photograph the inside of every run before and after, because in this housing stock the camera frequently shows deterioration that a standard visual inspection of the registers would miss. Air Duct Cleaning in West and East Lealman covers the complete process, from negative-pressure extraction to the documented photo record you receive when the crew leaves.
HVAC Cleaning in West and East Lealman
Lealman’s air handlers sit in garages and attics where the peninsula’s dew point stays elevated year-round. That means coils that never fully dry, blower wheels caked with dust, and drain pans that are prime for microbial growth. HVAC Cleaning in West and East Lealman walks through the coil cleaning, blower service, and drain line work that keeps the system from pushing contaminants back through freshly cleaned ducts.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in West and East Lealman
Dryer vent cleaning in West and East Lealman is a job where the marginal cost of neglect is a house fire. The CDPs’ older homes often vent dryers through short, poorly routed runs that were installed decades ago and never reworked, which means lint builds up faster and blocks airflow sooner. We also see a lot of attic-mounted flex vent runs in these slab homes that have kinked or partially collapsed over 30+ years, turning the run into a debris trap. Every dryer vent we clean falls under our Dryer Vent Cleaning service standard: written price first, then a before-and-after photo record of the inside of the run.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Your dryer runs long past the timer, the laundry room gets humid, or the outside vent flap barely opens.
What it costs in West and East Lealman
Inspection alone runs $89-$139; combined with a full cleaning, it typically falls between $129 and $189.
How we do it
We run a camera down the full vent run, photograph the blockage points, and document what the airflow is doing before any work begins.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
You smell a musty or burning odor when the dryer runs, or the exterior vent hood is coated with lint.
What it costs in West and East Lealman
Full vent cleaning in West and East Lealman typically runs $129-$189, depending on run length and how packed the lint is.
How we do it
We work the full run with a rotary brush and capture everything with negative-pressure extraction, then photograph the same points shot during inspection.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in West and East Lealman
| Item | Typical range in West and East Lealman |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $89-$139 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $129-$189 |
| Lint removal (heavy buildup) | $159-$229 |
How often should dryer vents be cleaned in West and East Lealman?
Every 12 to 18 months here, not the 24 often quoted for drier climates. The peninsula’s humidity makes lint stickier and blockages form faster.
Can you clean a dryer vent that runs through an attic in Lealman?
Yes. Attic vent runs are common in these 1950s-1970s slab homes, and we inspect for kinks and partial collapses before cleaning so the run actually flows afterward. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
Duct Repair & Sealing in West and East Lealman
Duct repair and sealing in West and East Lealman is usually a correction job, not an upgrade. The fiberglass duct board and aging flex runs in these homes have spent decades in peninsula humidity, and we find partially collapsed flex, failed taped joints, and deteriorated board insulation on most first visits. What this service solves is simple: air that should be going into the living room is leaking into the attic, and the A/C is working harder for less comfort. Our Duct Repair & Sealing work always starts with a written price and an attic inspection, because quoting a Lealman job without checking the duct geometry first is how callbacks happen.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms never reach the set temperature, dust reappears quickly, or your summer electric bill climbed with no change in usage.
What it costs in West and East Lealman
Sealing accessible ductwork in West and East Lealman typically runs $400-$800 per system, depending on how many joints need work.
How we do it
We locate every leak by hand and with a smoke pencil, then seal joints with mastic or foil tape rated for high-humidity environments.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Inspection shows kinked, collapsed, or torn flex runs, often in attic spaces over the garage or back bedrooms.
What it costs in West and East Lealman
Replacing a failed flex run typically runs $250-$500 per run when access is straightforward.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section, install a properly supported replacement, and photograph the new run before reconnecting airflow.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in West and East Lealman
| Item | Typical range in West and East Lealman |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing (per system) | $400-$800 |
| Flex duct replacement (per run) | $250-$500 |
| Duct insulation | $300-$700 per section |
Why does duct sealing cost more in West and East Lealman than in newer neighborhoods?
Access is the main driver. Attics in these post-war slab homes are often tight, hot, and crowded with original framing, which slows the work. We quote the written price after a full attic inspection.
Do you guarantee duct sealing work?
Yes. Every repair and sealing job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing. If something fails within a year, we return and make it right. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in West and East Lealman
Air quality and sanitizing in West and East Lealman is not an add-on; in this microclimate it is usually the point of the cleaning itself. The peninsula’s humidity means mold colonization inside flex duct and duct board happens faster here, and the long cooling season pushes spores through the living space for nine or ten months before anyone smells anything. What this service does is treat the surfaces those spores cling to after the debris is removed. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing work applies EPA-registered products at the coil, plenum, drain pan, and inside accessible duct surfaces, with photography at every step.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You smell a persistent earth or must note when the air handler kicks on, or visible mold is present on the coil, drain pan, or inside duct board.
What it costs in West and East Lealman
Duct board mold treatment typically runs $450-$800 per system, depending on the affected area and access.
How we do it
We clean the contaminated surfaces mechanically first, then apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial and photograph the treated area.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Your coil keeps growing mold despite repeat cleanings, or a household member has year-round respiratory irritation.
What it costs in West and East Lealman
UV light installation typically runs $500-$900, including the unit, mounting, and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount the UV lamp at the evaporator coil and confirm it is positioned to expose the coil surface where condensation keeps mold alive.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in West and East Lealman
| Item | Typical range in West and East Lealman |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (per system) | $450-$800 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (fogged) | $250-$450 per level |
| UV light installation | $500-$900 |
Does sanitizing really work in Florida humidity?
Yes, when the moisture source is addressed first. In West and East Lealman, that means the coil, drain pan, and duct board must be cleaned and dried before any antimicrobial is applied. Otherwise mold returns within months. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
Will I be able to see what was done inside the ducts?
Yes. Every job includes a Documented Photo Record showing the inside of every treated run before and after. You keep the photos as part of your job record.
