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 Memphis, AR
Dryer vent cleaning in West Memphis deals with a problem most of the country never faces: crawl-space humidity that saturates flex ductwork year-round, combined with agricultural dust drifting in from Crittenden County’s cotton and soybean fields. Homes here, most of them brick ranches and frame houses built between the 1950s and early 1970s, often run original duct runs through damp crawl spaces that never fully dry out. We photograph every run before and after, write the price down before a single panel comes off, and leave you a documented record of what was actually inside your ductwork. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate.
Why West Memphis Homes Are Different
West Memphis sits entirely within the Mississippi River floodplain. The high water table pushes nearly every home onto a crawl-space foundation, and those crawl spaces hold some of the highest year-round relative humidity readings in Arkansas. Summer dewpoints regularly hit 74 to 76°F here, which drives moisture straight into supply lines and air handlers. Flex duct in these conditions becomes a mold and pest harborage zone fast.
Add the surrounding Delta farmland to the equation. Cotton, soybeans, and rice fields encircle the city, and their particulates find their way into return-air ducts at rates you won’t see across the river in Tennessee. Homes near the I-40/I-55 interchange, one of the busiest heavy-truck crossroads in the country, collect a distinctive black diesel-soot particulate on return-air runs. Technicians working those corridors pull visibly heavier deposits than jobs just a few miles east. Long-term rentals that have gone 20 to 40 years without duct service are common throughout West Memphis, as is manufactured housing with thin flex duct installations.
Our Main West Memphis Services
West Memphis homeowners call us most about two jobs: full air duct cleaning and HVAC cleaning. Both deal with the same local conditions, but each requires different equipment and a different scope of work.
Air Duct Cleaning in West Memphis
Full air duct cleaning in West Memphis means addressing what’s inside every run, from the plenum (the main distribution box off the air handler) to each register (the visible grille in the floor or wall). In crawl-space homes here, we commonly find a 2- to 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, plus mold colonization on flex duct lining where humidity has sat for years. We use Rotobrush and Nikro negative-pressure extraction equipment, photograph every run before and after, and deliver the photo record with your written scope of work. Air Duct Cleaning in West Memphis covers the full process and local pricing.
HVAC Cleaning in West Memphis
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the duct runs to the air handler, evaporator coil, blower motor, and plenum interior. In West Memphis, the damp crawl-space environment means coil fins often carry a layer of agricultural dust mixed with mold spores that duct cleaning alone won’t remove. We bring the coil and blower back to manufacturer-clean condition, then photograph the interior so you can verify the work. HVAC Cleaning in West Memphis details the equipment we use and the price ranges for this service.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in West Memphis
Dryer vent cleaning in West Memphis matters because the housing stock here works against you. Older brick ranches and frame houses from the 1950s through early 1970s often have long, multi-elbow vent runs snaking through crawl spaces or exterior walls, and the sustained humidity means lint that gets caught doesn’t just sit. It absorbs moisture, packs down, and turns into a damp mat that restricts airflow and becomes a genuine fire hazard. We inspect the full run, remove the lint, and document the vent interior before and after with the photo record included on every job we do. That’s the standard we’ve held since our first job in 2013. For the full Dryer Vent Cleaning picture, that page covers every sub-service and price point.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take two or more cycles to dry, the dryer exterior gets hot, or you can’t remember the last time the vent was actually looked at.
What it costs in West Memphis
A standalone dryer vent inspection in West Memphis runs $75 to $150, and we include the documented photo record with every inspection.
How we do it
We run a camera down the full vent run, measure airflow at the exterior termination, and photograph any restriction or damage before presenting findings with a written price for any repair or cleaning needed.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
You see lint at the exterior vent flap, the dryer runs hot to the touch, or you’ve had a recent “check vent” error code.
What it costs in West Memphis
Full dryer vent cleaning in West Memphis ranges from $120 to $250, depending on run length and how compacted the lint has become.
How we do it
We run a rotating brush and negative airflow capture through the entire vent length, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, then photograph the cleaned interior and show you the before-and-after side by side.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
The vent flap barely opens while the dryer runs, or you can see a thick lint mat when you peer into the exterior vent hood.
What it costs in West Memphis
Heavy lint removal on a severely packed vent in West Memphis typically costs $180 to $300, reflecting the extra time and tooling for compacted material.
How we do it
We clear the packed lint using a reverse agitation tool and full negative-pressure extraction, then run a camera through the vent to confirm the run is fully open and capture the final condition on photo.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in West Memphis
| Item | Typical range in West Memphis |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $75 - $150 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (standard run) | $120 - $250 |
| Heavy lint removal (packed vent) | $180 - $300 |
Prices in West Memphis run toward the upper end when the vent has multiple elbows, runs long distances through a crawl space, or hasn’t been opened in years. Every quote is written before work begins, so the number we give you is the number you pay.
How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned in West Memphis?
Every 12 to 18 months for most West Memphis homes, and every 6 to 12 months if you have a long crawl-space run, a household of four or more, or live near active farmland. The humidity and agricultural dust here load vents faster than drier climates.
Why does my dryer vent keep clogging so quickly in West Memphis?
High crawl-space humidity makes lint damp and sticky, so it packs against elbows instead of blowing through, and Delta farm particulates add extra material to the air stream. Together they reduce the effective lint capacity of your vent run. We can evaluate whether rerouting or a bird guard would help.
Duct Repair & Sealing in West Memphis
Duct repair and sealing in West Memphis addresses failures that the local climate accelerates. Flex duct in damp crawl spaces sags, separates at joints, and gets chewed by rodents, while return-air runs near the I-40/I-55 corridors take on diesel soot that works into every seam. When a duct run separates in a crawl space, your HVAC system is conditioning the crawl space instead of the living area, which shows up as hot rooms, higher utility bills, and dust that keeps coming back no matter how often you clean. We locate the failure, seal it with mastic or replace the damaged section, and photograph the work before and after so you can see what was fixed. See the full Duct Repair & Sealing hub for every sub-service in detail.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms at the end of a run are always warmer or cooler than the rest of the house, or your utility bills have climbed without a change in usage.
What it costs in West Memphis
Whole-system duct sealing in West Memphis runs from $450 to $900, depending on accessible duct length and the number of seams and joints needing work.
How we do it
We apply mastic sealant (a thick adhesive compound that hardens to a durable, airtight seal) to every accessible joint, seam, and connection, then pressure-test the system to verify the improvement and photograph the sealed runs.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You find a collapsed or sagging section of flex duct in your crawl space, or a room no longer receives air even though the vent is open.
What it costs in West Memphis
Replacing a damaged flex duct section in West Memphis ranges from $175 to $400 per run, including new duct, proper support, and sealing at both ends.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section, install new flex duct with proper support straps to maintain airflow, seal both connections with mastic and metal tape, then photograph the finished run inside the crawl space.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in West Memphis
| Item | Typical range in West Memphis |
|---|---|
| Whole-system duct sealing | $450 - $900 |
| Flex duct section replacement (per run) | $175 - $400 |
| Mastic seal along exposed seams | $300 - $600 |
But one honest note on the numbers: in West Memphis, costs rise when crawl-space access is tight, when multiple runs are damaged, or when the original installation used undersized duct that needs re-supporting rather than just sealing. Written price before work starts, every time.
How do I know if my ducts need sealing in West Memphis?
You’ll notice uneven room temperatures, higher bills than similar homes in your neighborhood, or dust that reappears within days of cleaning. A pressure test tells us exactly how much air is leaking and where. Call for a written assessment.
Can duct sealing help with the humidity in my West Memphis crawl space?
Yes, sealed ducts stop conditioned air from leaking into the crawl space and damp crawl-space air from being pulled into the supply runs. That directly addresses the mold-friendly conditions West Memphis homes deal with. We pressure-test before and after to document the improvement.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in West Memphis
Air quality and sanitizing in West Memphis starts with what actually moves through the air inside your house. Between the Delta farmland particulates, the crawl-space humidity, and the diesel soot from the I-40/I-55 truck corridors, the air in West Memphis homes carries a mix that duct cleaning alone doesn’t fully resolve. What remains inside the air handler and supply runs is a damp biofilm, and that’s what breeds the musty smell that returns a week after a standard cleaning. We treat the coil, the plenum, and the duct lining with an EPA-registered antimicrobial, then install purification where the system design calls for it. The Air Quality & Sanitizing hub covers each treatment type and the equipment we install.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty smells return quickly after cleaning, visible mold is present on duct interiors or coil fins, or household members have year-round allergy symptoms that improve outdoors.
What it costs in West Memphis
Mold treatment for the duct system in West Memphis runs $400 to $900, depending on how much of the system has visible growth and whether the coil and blower need treatment too.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial directly to affected surfaces inside the plenum and supply runs, following the product’s dwell-time protocol, then photograph the treated areas as part of the documented record.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Mold returns repeatedly even after cleaning and treatment, or the air handler has persistent coil fouling despite regular HVAC service.
What it costs in West Memphis
A professionally installed UV light system for the air handler in West Memphis ranges from $700 to $1,500, including the unit, mounting, and wiring.
How we do it
We mount the UV lamp at the evaporator coil, wire it to the system so it operates when airflow is present, and verify the run time and coverage before photographing the installation and adding it to the written job record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in West Memphis
| Item | Typical range in West Memphis |
|---|---|
| Duct system mold treatment | $400 - $900 |
| UV light installation | $700 - $1,500 |
| Whole-home air purifier install | $900 - $1,800 |
Expect the higher end in West Memphis when the crawl-space humidity has produced mold on multiple surfaces, or when the air handler itself needs coil and blower treatment. The price is written before any chemical goes in the system.
Will sanitizing my ducts fix the musty smell in my West Memphis home?
If the smell originates inside the duct system, yes. The antimicrobial treatment kills the biofilm on the coil and duct lining that cleaning alone can’t remove. If the odor comes from the crawl space itself, we’ll tell you that in writing and recommend the right fix. Call (806) 606-6902 for an assessment.
Do I need UV light or just sanitizing for my West Memphis home?
Most homes with recurring mold on the coil benefit from sanitizing first, then UV installation if regrowth happens. The UV light keeps the coil sterile continuously, which matters in West Memphis where summer dewpoints keep surfaces damp. We’ll show you what’s on the coil before recommending either.
