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 Pompano Beach, FL
Dryer vent cleaning in Pompano Beach is not a once-a-decade chore here; it is a recurring maintenance item driven by year-round dryer use, 70% plus ambient humidity, and a housing stock full of short, multi-elbow vent runs that trap lint fast. What a homeowner in Margate can safely schedule every two years, a homeowner east of Federal Highway often needs every 12 to 18 months because salt-laden air accelerates lint clumping inside the duct. Call (806) 606-6902 and we will give you a written price before any work starts, along with a documented photo record of the vent before and after.
Why Pompano Beach Homes Are Different
Pompano Beach sits between the Atlantic Ocean and a network of Intracoastal Waterway canals that thread through residential streets, which means the air moving across your ductwork carries salt and moisture from two directions at once. Homes in the canal-front streets between the Intracoastal and A1A see a failure pattern we rarely find west of the Turnpike: flex duct liner that has fully delaminated and collapsed inward, driven by constant condensation and salt corrosion that leaves no dry season for the liner to stabilize. The core residential neighborhoods, built between roughly 1955 and 1975, are dominated by concrete block homes whose original or early-replacement fiberglass-lined flex duct has crumbled or separated, creating a porous interior surface that traps mold spores rather than shedding them. In the beachfront corridor’s older condominium buildings, air handlers tucked into tight closets with poor condensate drainage feed ductwork that has not been cleaned in decades. None of this reads on a standard inspection report; it shows up when a camera goes inside the duct run.
Our Main Pompano Beach Services
Two services generate most of the calls we take from Pompano Beach homeowners: full air duct cleaning and HVAC cleaning. Both are shaped by this city’s constant humidity and salt exposure.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pompano Beach
Pompano Beach duct systems rarely contain simple dust. The camera more often shows a sticky gray biofilm on the liner, salt crystals at metal fittings, or fiberglass particles peeling off a failing liner. We run negative-pressure extraction through every duct run and photograph the interior before and after so the record shows exactly what changed. Air Duct Cleaning in Pompano Beach covers the full scope of what this job involves here.
HVAC Cleaning in Pompano Beach
The evaporator coil and blower wheel in a Pompano Beach air handler work against warm, humid air for essentially 12 months a year, which turns the coil into a condensation surface that captures salt, mold spores, and lint. Cleaning the ductwork without addressing the coil means the system re-contaminates within weeks. HVAC Cleaning in Pompano Beach explains what a full HVAC cleaning includes and what it costs in this market.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Pompano Beach
Dryer vent cleaning in Pompano Beach is a job where the housing stock works against you. Homes built between 1955 and 1975 were fitted with short, sharp dryer vent runs that bend through multiple elbows before reaching the exterior, and in the beachfront corridor those vents run through concrete block walls that hold moisture against the duct exterior. Lint that would pass through a straight 12-foot run in a newer home packs into those elbows here, and when that lint combines with salt-laden air and 70% humidity, it clumps into a dense, damp mat that a standard dryer’s blower cannot push out. Dryer Vent Cleaning is the service we recommend Pompano Beach homeowners schedule on a 12-to-18-month cycle, not the three-to-five-year cycle that might work inland. The failure you are trying to prevent is not just a slow dryer; it is a lint mass that ignites or a vent run that becomes completely occluded and forces combustion gases back into the laundry room. Our technicians bring a camera, photograph the vent interior before and after, and hand you the record.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take longer than 50 minutes to dry, the top of the dryer gets hot to the touch, or you smell a musty or burning odor when the dryer is running.
What it costs in Pompano Beach
A camera inspection of the dryer vent in Pompano Beach runs $99 to $185, and the photo record is included in the written report.
How we do it
We disconnect the dryer, run a camera through the full vent run from the appliance to the exterior termination, and photograph every elbow and seam before presenting a written scope for any cleaning or repair work.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
The dryer runs two full cycles to dry a normal load, lint is visible at the exterior vent hood, or the laundry room feels humid while the dryer is running.
What it costs in Pompano Beach
Full lint removal from a Pompano Beach dryer vent typically runs $120 to $190, with the higher end applying to longer, multi-elbow runs common in older canal-front homes.
How we do it
We run a rotary brush and negative-pressure extraction through the full vent run, then photograph the interior to show every section down to bare metal.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You hear scratching or bird calls near the exterior vent hood, find nesting material inside the vent opening, or see birds entering and leaving the vent termination.
What it costs in Pompano Beach
A bird guard installed at the exterior vent termination in Pompano Beach costs $70 to $145, including the removal of any existing nesting material.
How we do it
We clear the vent of all nesting debris, photograph the opening, and install a stainless steel or galvanized bird guard that prevents re-entry while maintaining full airflow.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Pompano Beach
| Item | Typical range in Pompano Beach |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $99 - $185 |
| Full lint removal | $120 - $190 |
| Bird guard installation | $70 - $145 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Pompano Beach?
Every 12 to 18 months for homes east of Federal Highway or along canal streets; every 18 to 24 months west of the Turnpike. Salt and humidity accelerate lint packing. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Does a clogged dryer vent affect my energy bill in Pompano Beach?
Yes. A restricted vent forces the dryer to run longer to remove the same moisture, adding cycles and electricity cost. The humidity load also makes your AC work harder. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Pompano Beach
Duct repair and sealing in Pompano Beach is most often about failed flex duct liner, not just leaks. The fiberglass-lined flex duct installed in the 1960s and 1970s in this city’s concrete block homes delaminates under constant humidity, and the liner separates from the outer jacket, sagging inward and eventually collapsing the airway. The result is a duct run that is not just leaky but partially or fully closed, forcing your AC system to push the same cool air through a shrinking channel. Duct Repair & Sealing is the service that addresses this with documented measurements and written scope. Salt corrosion at metal duct fittings is a second recurring problem east of Federal Highway, where even sealed seams eventually fail as the salt eats through mastic and tape. Every repair we do is photographed before and after, and the written price comes before any panel comes off.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Rooms have weak airflow, the HVAC system runs constantly without reaching the set temperature, or you see sagging flex duct in the attic or crawlspace.
What it costs in Pompano Beach
Replacing or repairing a section of failed flex duct in Pompano Beach runs $180 to $430 per run, depending on length, access, and whether the liner has fully collapsed.
How we do it
We locate the failed section with a camera, remove the delaminated duct, install new flex duct with properly sealed connections, and photograph the finished run for the job record.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Your energy bill climbs in summer, some rooms stay warm while others freeze, or dust accumulates quickly on registers near the air handler.
What it costs in Pompano Beach
Sealing accessible ductwork in Pompano Beach costs $280 to $620 for a typical single-family home’s accessible runs, with the final figure depending on linear footage and accessibility.
How we do it
We locate leaks with a pressure test and visual inspection, then apply mastic sealant to every accessible seam, joint, and connection, photographing the before-and-after of each repaired section.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
Existing tape at duct joints is peeling or dried out, black dust lines appear around register edges, or you find gaps where duct sections meet the plenum.
What it costs in Pompano Beach
Mastic sealing of exposed duct joints and seams in Pompano Beach runs $150 to $340 for a typical job covering the accessible runs in a single-family home.
How we do it
We remove deteriorated tape, clean the seam surface, apply fiber-reinforced mastic, and document each sealed joint with a photograph before moving to the next run.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Pompano Beach
| Item | Typical range in Pompano Beach |
|---|---|
| Flex duct repair or replacement | $180 - $430 per run |
| Accessible duct sealing | $280 - $620 per home |
| Mastic sealing of joints and seams | $150 - $340 per job |
Can collapsing duct liner be repaired without replacing the whole duct in Pompano Beach?
If the liner has separated from the jacket but the outer jacket is intact, a targeted repair may be possible. Fully collapsed runs must be replaced. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Will sealing ducts reduce humidity inside my Pompano Beach home?
Yes. Leaky return ducts pull attic or crawlspace air into the system, which brings humidity and salt particles with it. Sealed ducts keep conditioned air where it belongs. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an evaluation.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Pompano Beach
Air quality and sanitizing in Pompano Beach is not the same job here that it is inland. The combination of 70% ambient humidity and salt-laden air means duct interiors stay damp long enough for mold and bacteria to colonize the liner itself, not just settle on the surface. When the camera shows active mold inside a duct run in a canal-front home, sanitizing is the difference between cleaning and re-contamination. Air Quality & Sanitizing is the service that treats the system rather than just the air. We apply sanitizing treatments designed for HVAC surfaces, install air purification systems using equipment from brands like Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, and hand you a written record of exactly what was applied and where.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You smell a persistent musty odor at the registers, see visible mold on duct surfaces or the air handler, or the camera inspection shows active mold colonization on the duct liner.
What it costs in Pompano Beach
Mold treatment for accessible ductwork in a Pompano Beach home runs $320 to $680, depending on the extent of colonization and the number of runs requiring treatment.
How we do it
We remove loose mold from accessible duct surfaces, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment to all affected areas, and document the before-and-after condition with photographs for the job record.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
A stale or sour smell comes from the registers when the AC runs, or the odor in the home does not clear after airing the space out.
What it costs in Pompano Beach
Odor removal and neutralization in Pompano Beach runs $150 to $300 for a standard single-family home’s duct system, depending on the source and the number of treatment passes needed.
How we do it
We identify the odor source with a camera and moisture check, then apply an odor-neutralizing treatment through the duct system, followed by a verification pass with the air handler running.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Mold or bacteria keep returning on the coil or duct surfaces despite cleaning, or a household member has recurring respiratory symptoms tied to indoor air quality.
What it costs in Pompano Beach
UV light installation in a Pompano Beach air handler runs $380 to $750, including the unit, mounting, and wiring to match the system’s 24V circuit.
How we do it
We mount the UV lamp inside the air handler plenum or over the coil, wire it to operate in phase with the blower, and photograph the finished installation with the unit serial number recorded.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Pompano Beach
| Item | Typical range in Pompano Beach |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment for ductwork | $320 - $680 |
| Odor removal and neutralization | $150 - $300 |
| UV light installation | $380 - $750 |
Will sanitizing my ducts remove mold permanently in Pompano Beach?
Sanitizing kills and removes existing mold on treated surfaces. Permanent prevention requires addressing the moisture source, which is a constant issue in Pompano Beach’s humidity. Call (806) 606-6902 for an assessment.
Do I need UV lights if my Pompano Beach home is already cleaned?
UV lights help prevent mold regrowth on the coil and nearby duct surfaces between cleanings, particularly in homes east of Federal Highway where humidity is highest. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written recommendation.
