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 Memphis, TN
Dryer vent cleaning in Memphis is not a quick courtesy job. It is a direct response to lint accumulation worsened by the Mississippi River Valley’s humidity and the city’s high volume of 1940s-to-1970s homes with long, often poorly routed vent runs. A clogged vent here dries slower, traps more moisture, and fails faster than in drier cities. We quote one written price before work begins, and we photograph the inside of the vent before and after. Call (806) 606-6902 for a flat-rate estimate.
Why Memphis Homes Are Different
Memphis has been repeatedly ranked by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America as one of the worst Allergy Capitals in the country. Oak, grass, and ragweed pollen from the Delta combine with ambient humidity that often sits between 70 and 85 percent all summer. That means duct surfaces in Memphis rarely dry out completely between cooling cycles. Pollen and dust that would stay dry and inert in Nashville or Knoxville becomes damp, then sticky, then a biofilm that holds mold spores against the metal.
The housing stock adds another layer. Midtown, Binghampton, South Memphis, and North Memphis hold thousands of pier-and-beam homes built between the 1940s and 1970s. Ductwork in these houses commonly runs through low crawl spaces, often original flex duct or unsealed sheet metal with separated joints. When clay-heavy soils hold water after heavy rain, that moisture moves straight into the duct runs. Our crews regularly pull access panels and find collapsed fiberglass insulation, rodent nesting, and standing-water staining that the homeowner had no way to see.
Our Main Memphis Services
These two services draw the most calls from Memphis homeowners, typically because of the crawl-space moisture and allergen load described above.
Air Duct Cleaning in Memphis
Whole-system duct cleaning in Memphis removes the pollen, dust, mold film, and pest debris that the Delta climate keeps damp and biologically active. On pier-and-beam homes we pay particular attention to return runs that pass through crawl spaces, since those are usually the most contaminated sections of the entire system. Every run is photographed before and after, and the written scope lists exactly what was found. Air Duct Cleaning in Memphis is quoted at one flat rate per system, never per vent.
HVAC Cleaning in Memphis
HVAC cleaning here typically requires more than blowing out supply registers. Blower wheels, evaporator coils, and drain pans in Memphis systems carry a humid, pollen-heavy film that reduces airflow and feeds microbial growth. We open the air handler, document what the coil actually looks like, and clean it with equipment sized for residential systems. HVAC Cleaning in Memphis includes the same photo documentation and written price we provide on every duct cleaning job.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Memphis
Dryer vent cleaning in Memphis matters more than in most cities because the humidity slows lint drying and turns it into a dense, damp mat that clogs the run faster. Older Midtown and East Memphis homes often have long vertical or offset vent runs that trap lint at every elbow and transition. Every job we do includes a written price before we start and a camera record of the vent interior before and after, so you can see what was removed and confirm the run is clear. Dryer Vent Cleaning is quoted per vent run, not by the hour and never with a teaser coupon.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take two or more cycles to dry, the dryer exterior runs hotter than it used to, or the flapper vent outside does not open fully during operation.
What it costs in Memphis
A camera inspection in Memphis runs $49 to $149, credited toward the cleaning when we do the work the same visit.
How we do it
We run a camera through the full vent length, show you the blockage or restriction on the screen, and write the cleaning scope before any other work begins.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
Your vent run exceeds 25 feet, makes more than two 90-degree turns, or terminates in a soffit or crawl space instead of outdoors.
What it costs in Memphis
Rerouting a dryer vent in Memphis typically falls between $200 and $600 depending on run length and exterior wall access.
How we do it
We map the shortest compliant path, replace flexible foil with rigid metal, and seal every joint so the system terminates cleanly outside.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Memphis
| Item | Typical range in Memphis |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent cleaning (standard run) | $120 - $250 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (long or multi-story run) | $200 - $400 |
| Vent rerouting | $200 - $600 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Memphis?
Every 12 months in most Memphis homes, and every 6 months if the run is long, has multiple bends, or the dryer runs daily for a large household. Humidity here turns lint into a damp plug faster than in dry climates.
Can you clean a dryer vent that runs through a crawl space?
Yes, and those runs are among the most clogged we see in Memphis. Crawl-space vents often sag, hold water, and collect lint at the low points, which is why the camera inspection matters before we brush.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Memphis
Duct repair and sealing in Memphis often starts with a crawl-space problem. Pier-and-beam homes in Midtown, Binghampton, and South Memphis route supply and return ducts through damp, low-clearance areas, and the clay-heavy soil keeps that moisture present for weeks after rain. Separated joints, sagging flex duct, and rusted sheet metal are far more common here than in slab-built suburbs. We quote repairs in writing, per duct run, before the first panel is removed. Duct Repair & Sealing work is documented with photos of every repaired run.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms never reach set temperature, utility bills climb in summer, or you can feel air loss at visible joints in the attic or crawl space.
What it costs in Memphis
Sealing accessible duct joints in Memphis runs $300 to $900 depending on system size and access.
How we do it
We seal accessible joints and seams with mastic or foil tape, then measure static pressure before and after to verify the improvement.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Flex duct is sagging, kinked, torn, or disconnected in the crawl space, or one room has weak airflow while the rest of the house cools normally.
What it costs in Memphis
Replacing a damaged flex duct run in Memphis ranges from $250 to $750 per run, depending on diameter and crawl-space access.
How we do it
We remove the damaged run, inspect the plenum connection, and install new insulated flex duct with properly sealed ends and adequate support.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Memphis
| Item | Typical range in Memphis |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing (accessible runs) | $300 - $900 |
| Flex duct repair (per run) | $250 - $750 |
| Duct insulation wrap | $400 - $1,200 |
Do you seal ducts from the inside or outside?
Both, depending on access. We seal accessible exterior joints with mastic and, where the duct interior is reachable, use an aerosol sealant. The written quote specifies which method applies to each run.
Will sealing my ducts reduce humidity inside the house?
Yes, because unsealed return ducts in humid crawl spaces pull moist air into the system. Sealing those runs cuts that moisture source, which is significant in Memphis during summer.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Memphis
Air quality work in Memphis usually follows a moisture event: a flooded crawl space, a leaky coil, or years of Delta humidity doing quiet work inside the duct system. The air handler and first few feet of supply duct often carry visible mold film or bacteria growth even when the registers look clean. We treat the source surfaces, not just the air, and we document every step with photos. Air Quality & Sanitizing is quoted per system, in writing, before any sanitizer is applied.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor comes from the vents when the system runs, or visible mold appears on duct interiors, coil surfaces, or supply registers.
What it costs in Memphis
Mold treatment in Memphis runs $300 to $900 for a full duct system, depending on square footage and contamination extent.
How we do it
We remove loose contamination, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to affected surfaces, and photograph the treated areas before and after.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
A persistent smell, often from past pet occupancy, cigarette smoke, or a dead pest in the duct system, returns every time the blower starts.
What it costs in Memphis
Odor removal in Memphis ranges from $200 to $500 depending on the system size and odor source.
How we do it
We locate the odor source, remove any physical contaminant, and treat the affected duct surfaces with an odor-neutralizing agent rated for HVAC interiors.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Memphis
| Item | Typical range in Memphis |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (full system) | $300 - $900 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $250 - $600 |
| Odor removal | $200 - $500 |
Can you guarantee mold will not come back?
No one can guarantee that because the moisture source drives the mold. What we can do is treat the active contamination and tell you exactly where the moisture is entering so you can fix it at the source.
Do you install UV lights in the duct system?
Yes, we install UV lamps at the coil and in the supply plenum where they interrupt microbial growth on the wettest surfaces. The written quote includes the lamp model and the area it covers.
Brands We Service in Memphis

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Memphis
Most whole-system jobs in Memphis take between three and five hours, depending on the number of runs, access points, and how much contamination we find once the camera goes in. Crawl-space duct systems in older pier-and-beam homes often add an hour or more because access is tighter.
Duct cleaning and most duct repair work does not require a permit in Memphis. Where a repair involves replacing a substantial section of ductwork or relocating a vent, the permit may apply, and we handle that determination before work begins.
Yes. The summer humidity in Memphis keeps dust and pollen damp, which accelerates microbial growth inside ducts. Most all of our Memphis clients benefit from a full system cleaning every three to five years, with dryer vents done every six to twelve months. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before anything else happens.

"Flat price agreed up front, no per-vent add-ons at the end. That was the whole reason I did not call the coupon company."
- Suzanne B."The dryer vent was almost completely blocked with lint. They showed me the photograph and I understood immediately why the dryer had been running twice."
- Lucia M."They found a disconnected duct in the crawl space that had been dumping conditioned air under the house for years. Photographed it, quoted the repair, fixed it."
