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 New South Memphis, TN
Dryer vent cleaning in New South Memphis typically costs $129-$189 for a single-vent home and is usually completed in under an hour. The neighborhood’s mid-century homes, many with long or awkward vent runs routed through crawl spaces and low attics, make this job more involved than it looks on paper. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why New South Memphis Homes Are Different
New South Memphis sits in the Mississippi River floodplain humidity zone, which means unconditioned crawl spaces stay damp for months at a time. Homes here were mostly built between the 1940s and 1970s, and a large share of them had central air retrofitted decades later. That retrofit ductwork, often flex duct routed through crawl spaces, is now aging out. We regularly find disconnected flex sections pulling crawl-space air, mold spores, and soil particulates directly into the living space. The problem compounds every summer: from May through September, the AC runs almost continuously and the system pulls that damp, particulate-heavy air through the registers. A duct cleaning job in New South Memphis is never just about dust. It is a condition assessment of ductwork that has spent years in a high-humidity environment.
Many of these homes have high rental turnover, which means deferred maintenance on first-retrofit systems. Duct runs in unconditioned spaces sweat, hold moisture, and become a mold reservoir. That makes cleaning and repair inseparable here.
Our Main New South Memphis Services
Two services generate most of our calls from New South Memphis homeowners: full air duct cleaning and whole-system HVAC cleaning. Both address the same underlying condition in this neighborhood, ductwork that has spent years pulling humid air and particulates through unconditioned crawl spaces.
Air Duct Cleaning in New South Memphis
Full duct cleaning in this area means running professional-grade negative-pressure extraction through supply and return runs, the plenum, and registers. In New South Memphis we often find the return side has been pulling crawl-space air through disconnected flex sections, which makes the return cleaning step especially important. The camera record we provide shows exactly what was inside before and after, so you can verify the work. See the full scope and local pricing on our Air Duct Cleaning in New South Memphis page.
HVAC Cleaning in New South Memphis
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts to the blower, evaporator coil, and drain pan. In New South Memphis’s sustained summer humidity, the coil and pan hold standing moisture, which becomes a mold and bacteria source that duct cleaning alone cannot address. Our HVAC Cleaning in New South Memphis page details what the job covers and what it costs here.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in New South Memphis
Dryer vent cleaning in New South Memphis ranges from $129 for a single short vent run to $189 when the vent is long, multi-story, or routed through a crawl space. The housing stock here matters: many postwar homes have dryer vents that run twenty feet or more through unconditioned crawl spaces, where lint combines with high humidity and compacts against the vent wall. That turns a routine cleaning into a real fire-prevention job. If your vent exits through a crawl space or basement, it should be inspected and cleaned more often than a standard exterior-wall run. You can read the full service overview on our Dryer Vent Cleaning page.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
Clothes take longer to dry, the dryer exterior is hot to the touch, or you can see lint accumulating around the exterior vent opening.
What it costs in New South Memphis
Lint removal is covered under the standard vent cleaning rate of $129-$189, depending on run length and access.
How we do it
We run rotary brushes and a HEPA-filtered vacuum through the full vent run from the dryer outlet to the exterior termination, then photograph the interior at both ends to document that the run is clear.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
Your dryer vent terminates in a crawl space, attic, or under the house instead of outside, or the current run is sagging and holding lint at a low point.
What it costs in New South Memphis
Rerouting a dryer vent costs $350-$650, though the final figure depends on run length, wall construction, and the exterior termination point.
How we do it
We plan a rigid-metal or UL-listed flex route to an exterior termination, install the new run with proper support and rated fasteners, and abandon or remove the old vent.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in New South Memphis
| Item | Typical range in New South Memphis |
|---|---|
| Single vent, ground floor, short run | $129 |
| Long, multi-story, or crawl-space run | $189 |
| Rerouting to a new exterior termination | $350-$650 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in New South Memphis?
Once a year for a typical household. In New South Memphis’s humid climate, even low-lint households should schedule annually because the moisture causes lint to compact and adhere inside the run faster than in drier cities.
Does the price change if my vent runs through a crawl space?
Yes. Crawl-space runs take longer to access and clean, so the job lands at the $189 end of the range. The quote is written and flat before work begins. Call (806) 606-6902 for your specific price.
Duct Repair & Sealing in New South Memphis
Duct repair and sealing in New South Memphis is often the difference between a cleaning that lasts and one that does not. Homes here with 1970s and 1980s flex duct retrofits frequently have disconnected sections pulling crawl-space air, collapsed inner liners, and leaky joints that keep pulling particulates back into the system. Pricing starts around $450 and runs to $2,850 depending on severity. Our Duct Repair & Sealing page covers the full picture.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You can feel warm air in summer or cold air in winter from certain registers, or you have seen disconnected duct sections in your crawl space.
What it costs in New South Memphis
Repairing or replacing damaged flex duct sections costs $450-$1,200 per affected run, depending on run length and crawl-space access.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged or disconnected section, install a properly sized replacement with mastic-sealed connections, and photograph the repair before and after.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Some rooms never reach the thermostat temperature, your energy bills stay high through mild months, or you can see visible dust streaks around the register faces.
What it costs in New South Memphis
Whole-system duct sealing costs $1,850-$2,850 for a home with multiple leak points in unconditioned spaces.
How we do it
We locate leaks along the entire run using a calibrated pressure test, then seal each leak with mastic or approved tape, and re-test to confirm the duct pressure holds.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in New South Memphis
| Item | Typical range in New South Memphis |
|---|---|
| Single flex duct repair or replacement | $450-$1,200 |
| Whole-system sealing | $1,850-$2,850 |
| Repairs with crawl-space access limitations | Add 10-20% over base rate |
Does duct sealing reduce humidity problems in New South Memphis crawl spaces?
It reduces the amount of humid crawl-space air being pulled into the system and living space. Sealing alone will not dry a damp crawl space, so look at the source of the moisture even after sealing. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written diagnostic quote.
Why do so many New South Memphis homes have disconnected flex duct?
Original retrofits from the 1970s and 1980s used lightweight flex duct that ages poorly in humid crawl spaces. Sagging, separation, and collapse are common after decades of exposure.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in New South Memphis
Air quality and sanitizing work in New South Memphis addresses the outcome of sustained humidity: microbial growth inside the system and the air it moves. The damp crawl spaces and high AC runtime here mean mold, bacteria, and locked-in odors are recurring problems, not one-time events. Whole-home sanitizing runs $395-$795, and we photograph the surfaces before and after. Details are on the Air Quality & Sanitizing page.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You smell a musty, earthy odor when the system starts, or visible mold is present around registers, inside the plenum, or on duct surfaces.
What it costs in New South Memphis
Mold treatment for the ductwork and air handler runs $395-$795 depending on the affected area and the treatment method.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to the affected surfaces, allow the required dwell time, then air out the treated areas and photograph the result.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
The house smells like a closed-up crawl space, stale smoke, or a previous pet long after cleaning, and the smell strengthens whenever the fan runs.
What it costs in New South Memphis
Odor removal combined with duct cleaning runs $395-$595 depending on the odor source and system size.
How we do it
We locate the odor source, clean or remove the affected material, and place an odor-neutralizing agent on the remaining surfaces to stop recurrence.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in New South Memphis
| Item | Typical range in New South Memphis |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment, ductwork and air handler | $395-$795 |
| Odor removal with duct cleaning | $395-$595 |
| UV light installation, whole-system | $650-$1,200 |
Does sanitizing replace duct cleaning in a humid crawl-space home?
No. Sanitizing only treats what is already clean. In New South Memphis, the cleaning has to come first, otherwise the antimicrobial is just applied over a layer of accumulated debris. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
Will odor removal work if the crawl space is still damp?
It will reduce the smell, but not permanently, because the source moisture remains. The odor will return until the crawl space’s moisture problem is addressed.
