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 East Naples, FL
Dryer vent cleaning in East Naples is not a quick chore here. The combination of 1970s-1990s concrete-block homes running original flex ductwork, near year-round AC operation, and the area’s position directly against the Everglades drainage basin means lint, mold spores, and organic debris accumulate faster than almost anywhere else in Collier County. Most East Naples homes we inspect have not had their dryer vents opened in five to ten years. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why East Naples Homes Are Different
East Naples sits at the suburban edge of Collier County, directly adjacent to the Everglades drainage basin. That means ambient mold-spore and organic-particulate loads run measurably higher than coastal Naples, year-round. The residential core is dominated by concrete-block single-family homes and manufactured housing built from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, and most of those homes still run their original fiberglass-lined flex duct systems. Decades of near-continuous AC operation have degraded that flex duct to the point where the inner liner frays, catches debris, and traps moisture.
Post-Hurricane Ian in 2022, the problem deepened. A significant share of East Naples structures have residual attic and wall-cavity moisture damage that feeds mold colonization directly inside return-air chases and duct boots. In older neighborhoods like Bayshore and Shadowlawn, technicians routinely find black mold colonizing the flex-duct-to-register boot connections where Ian’s flooding wicked moisture up through the slab and into wall cavities serving as return-air pathways. That failure pattern is almost nonexistent in the newer slab-on-grade construction of nearby Lely Resort. Here, it is a defining condition of the housing stock.
Our Main East Naples Services
The two services East Naples homeowners call about most are full-system air duct cleaning and HVAC cleaning, both of which address the mold and debris burden this particular housing stock carries.
Air Duct Cleaning in East Naples
Our full-system Air Duct Cleaning in East Naples service covers every supply and return run, the plenum, and the register boots. In East Naples, the focus is pulling out years of accumulated Everglades-adjacent organic particulate and post-Ian moisture-related debris from original flex duct systems. We photograph the inside of every run before and after, and the photo record is part of your job file.
HVAC Cleaning in East Naples
HVAC Cleaning in East Naples addresses the other half of the system: the evaporator coil, the blower housing, the condensate pan, and the air handler interior. In East Naples, where air handlers run 10-11 months per year and organic growth on coils is accelerated by elevated ambient spore counts, this service brings a measurable change in airflow and discharge temperature. The evaporator coil is photographed before and after, same as the ducts.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in East Naples
Dryer vent cleaning in East Naples is a fire-safety and mold-prevention job, not a maintenance nicety. The same 1970s-1990s concrete-block homes with original flex ductwork also tend to have long, multi-elbow dryer vent runs that were sized decades ago for far shorter vent paths. Lint packs into every elbow, especially in Bayshore and Shadowlawn, where we regularly see vent runs capped at the roofline with years of compacted lint restricting airflow. This is the page where you can see the full scope of our Dryer Vent Cleaning approach, including the photo record you receive when the work is done.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Your dryer takes two or more cycles to dry a normal load, or the laundry room feels humid while the dryer runs.
What it costs in East Naples
A camera-only dryer vent inspection in East Naples typically runs $89-$149 as a standalone visit, and the cost is waived if we perform the cleaning in the same appointment.
How we do it
We run a camera from the dryer connection point to the exterior termination, photographing every elbow and documenting any lint blockage, disconnected joint, or moisture intrusion.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
You can see lint accumulating around the exterior vent flap, or the dryer shuts itself off on overheat before clothes are dry.
What it costs in East Naples
Full dryer vent lint removal in East Naples typically runs $129-$189 for a single-story vent run, with a second story adding $35-$75 depending on roof access.
How we do it
We use a HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extraction system at the vent opening while running a rotating brush through the full run from the dryer side, so nothing is blown back into the laundry room.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in East Naples
| Item | Typical range in East Naples |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection (standalone) | $89-$149 |
| Dryer vent lint removal, single story | $129-$189 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, two-story home | $164-$264 |
How do I know if my East Naples dryer vent is clogged?
Clothes take more than one full cycle to dry, the dryer exterior feels hot, or you smell a musty odor when the dryer runs. Any of these in an East Naples home with an original vent run means a camera inspection is warranted.
Does the Everglades proximity affect dryer vents?
Yes. Higher ambient humidity and spore counts mean lint inside vents tends to stay damp, mat down, and bond to the vent wall instead of blowing out. This makes mechanical brushing necessary, not just vacuuming. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Duct Repair & Sealing in East Naples
Duct repair and sealing in East Naples often comes down to one thing: the original fiberglass-lined flex duct installed in the 1970s through early 1990s has failed. The inner liner tears, the outer vapor barrier rots, and the connections at register boots pull loose over decades of heat and humidity. Post-Ian moisture intrusion made this worse in Bayshore and Shadowlawn specifically. Our Duct Repair & Sealing service starts with a camera inspection of every accessible run, so you see exactly which sections need work before a dollar is quoted.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
One or more rooms in your East Naples home never reach the thermostat setpoint, or you can feel weak airflow at specific registers.
What it costs in East Naples
Replacing a failed flex duct section in East Naples typically runs $180-$320 per run depending on diameter and attic access, including the new insulated flex duct and two new connections.
How we do it
We remove the damaged section entirely, install a new R-6 or R-8 insulated flex run, seal both connections with mastic, and photograph the inside of the new run.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Your energy bills have climbed without a rate change, or you see dust streaks on the ceiling around register openings.
What it costs in East Naples
Whole-system duct sealing in East Naples typically runs $350-$650, covering mastic sealant and repair tape at plenum connections, branch takeoffs, and register boots.
How we do it
After a camera inspection identifies every leak point, we seal each joint with mastic applied by brush and complete a before-and-after photo record of every sealed connection.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in East Naples
| Item | Typical range in East Naples |
|---|---|
| Flex duct replacement, per run | $180-$320 |
| Whole-system duct sealing | $350-$650 |
| Register boot repair or replacement | $45-$95 per boot |
Is duct sealing worth it in a 1970s East Naples home?
Yes, if a camera inspection shows visible gaps. Original flex duct in East Naples homes has typically lost 20-30 percent of its airflow to joint leaks before any repair is done. Sealing restores that airflow to the rooms you actually use.
Do I need a permit for duct repair in East Naples?
Duct repair and sealing that does not alter the HVAC system’s structure generally does not require a Collier County permit. If we find a condition that does require permitting, we tell you in writing before any work proceeds. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule a camera inspection.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in East Naples
Air quality and sanitizing in East Naples addresses what the Everglades adjacency does to indoor air. Elevated ambient mold-spore counts, sustained humidity, and post-Ian wall-cavity moisture combine to colonize duct runs and evaporator coils with biological growth that recirculates whenever the blower runs. Homes in Bayshore and Shadowlawn built before 1990 are the most affected because their return-air pathways run through wall cavities that wicked moisture during the 2022 flooding. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service is only quoted after we photograph the inside of the system, so the treatment matches what was actually found.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You smell a persistent musty odor at the registers, especially in the first few minutes after the blower starts.
What it costs in East Naples
Mold treatment for a full duct system in East Naples typically runs $450-$800 depending on system size and the extent of colonization documented by the camera.
How we do it
After an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment is applied to the interior duct surfaces, we photograph the result and return in 10-14 days to confirm no regrowth.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Your evaporator coil shows visible organic growth in the camera inspection, or your home has a history of recurring respiratory irritation when the AC runs.
What it costs in East Naples
UV light installation in East Naples typically runs $425-$700 for a single lamp installed at the evaporator coil, hardwired with a dedicated circuit.
How we do it
We mount the UV lamp within the air handler housing, the one location where it can irradiate the coil surface continuously as air passes over it, and the installation is photographed.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in East Naples
| Item | Typical range in East Naples |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment, full duct system | $450-$800 |
| UV light installation at evaporator coil | $425-$700 |
| Bacteria sanitizing treatment, full system | $250-$450 |
How long does mold treatment last in East Naples?
Treatments generally remain effective for 12-18 months in East Naples, but the Everglades-adjacent spore load means no treatment is permanent. Annual camera inspections are the only way to confirm the interior condition of your ducts. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Is UV light worth installing here?
In East Naples, where coil surfaces stay wet most of the year and spore counts run high, a UV lamp on the evaporator coil is one of the few interventions that works continuously without occupant involvement. The coil is where growth starts.

In most East Naples communities, interior duct cleaning and vent work does not require HOA approval. If your HOA has rules about rooftop vent terminations or exterior modifications, we will work around them and tell you in writing if an exterior change needs approval before we touch it.
The housing stock is older, the flex duct is original, and the Everglades-adjacent spore and organic-particulate load is higher than coastal Naples. That means the biological and debris burden inside East Naples duct systems is more aggressive and typically requires both cleaning and sealing to address. We document it with a camera before we quote a dollar.
