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 Opportunity, WA
Dryer vent cleaning in Opportunity, WA runs $89-$185 for a standard single-story home, and most jobs take 45-70 minutes. Homes here were largely built between the late 1940s and 1975, so we routinely find vent runs with multiple elbows, aging foil connectors, and lint packed past the point where a leaf blower from the roof would make any difference. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Opportunity Homes Are Different
Opportunity sits in the Spokane Valley basin, which traps late-summer wildfire smoke for days during inversion events. Homeowners run forced-air systems around the clock with windows sealed, and that pulls fine ash and particulate deep into return plenums and blower compartments. Technicians working Opportunity and the broader Spokane Valley see a seasonal pattern that doesn’t show up in Puget Sound markets: September and October cleanings frequently reveal visible caking on supply boots and around blower compartments in homes whose systems ran nonstop through multi-day smoke events.
The housing stock adds another layer. Most of Opportunity’s homes are post-WWII tract builds from roughly 1948 to 1975, which means original or once-modified forced-air duct systems that are now 50-70 years old. Undersized return runs, aging flex connectors, and galvanized metal joints that have been through sixty winters and sixty dusty summers are common. The semi-arid climate doesn’t help: cold winters mean long heating seasons, and dry summers carry wind-blown particulate from the Rathdrum Prairie and Palouse farmland. Both conditions push debris into ductwork faster than wetter, milder markets west of the Cascades.
Our Main Opportunity Services
These are the two services Opportunity homeowners call about most often. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing, local detail, and service-specific FAQs.
Air Duct Cleaning in Opportunity
The standard whole-home air duct cleaning in Opportunity covers every supply run, return run, trunk line, and the blower compartment. Given the age of the local housing stock, we typically find 50-70 years of accumulated dust, construction debris, and seasonal ash inside systems that have never been opened. The job uses negative-pressure extraction with a Rotobrush or Nikro agitation system, and every run is photographed before and after. See the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Opportunity page.
HVAC Cleaning in Opportunity
HVAC cleaning in Opportunity goes beyond the duct runs to the equipment itself: coils, blower wheel, blower compartment, and condensate pan. In homes with 50-year-old forced-air systems, a coated blower wheel can cut airflow enough to raise utility bills and shorten equipment life. Wildfire smoke reschedules this work here, too: fine ash that coats the blower assembly needs to be removed carefully rather than blown deeper into the system. Full details are on our HVAC Cleaning in Opportunity page.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Opportunity
Dryer vent cleaning in Opportunity usually runs $89-$185, and the older housing stock here makes it a more involved job than in newer subdivisions. Many of the vent runs we open in Opportunity are original to homes built from the late 1940s through the 1970s, and they tend to have long horizontal sections, tight elbows, and foil or vinyl connectors that shred lint until it packs against the first bend. That’s a fire hazard more than a drying-speed issue. Our crews handle Dryer Vent Cleaning with the same documented before-and-after photo record we’ve delivered on every job since 2013.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take two cycles to dry, the dryer is hot on top, or you can’t remember the last time anyone looked inside the vent run.
What it costs in Opportunity
A camera inspection of the full dryer vent run in Opportunity is included with every cleaning, or $49 as a standalone service.
How we do it
We disconnect the dryer, run a camera through the entire vent from appliance to exterior termination, and show you the photos before any money changes hands.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
Your dryer takes noticeably longer than it did a year ago, or the exterior flap doesn’t open when the machine runs.
What it costs in Opportunity
Full cleaning with professional rotary brushes and negative-pressure extraction runs $89-$185 depending on vent length and roof versus wall termination.
How we do it
A rotating brush agitates lint loose from the vent walls while a vacuum pulls it out the exterior end, then we re-run the camera to verify the run is clear.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
Lint is visible around the exterior vent hood, accumulating on the wall behind the dryer, or blowing back into the laundry room.
What it costs in Opportunity
Lint removal for a badly packed vent that needs manual extraction is $45-$85 above the standard cleaning price.
How we do it
We pull compacted lint from the run with flexible rods where brushes can’t push through, then finish with a standard cleaning pass and photo documentation.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The current vent run is flex-pipe with sags and tight bends, or it terminates somewhere impractical like a crawlspace or a long roof run.
What it costs in Opportunity
Most reroutes in Opportunity run $250-$650 including materials, depending on the new termination point and run length.
How we do it
We cut and replace the run with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, secure every joint with foil tape, and verify proper airflow at the new termination.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You hear scratching at the exterior vent hood, or you’ve found nesting material blocking the flap.
What it costs in Opportunity
A hood-mounted bird guard with installation runs $65-$95 in Opportunity.
How we do it
We remove the existing hood, install a louvered guard that keeps birds out while allowing airflow, and re-secure the run to the wall.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Opportunity
| Item | Typical range in Opportunity |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection (standalone) | $49 |
| Standard vent cleaning | $89-$185 |
| Vent rerouting | $250-$650 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Opportunity?
Every 12 months for most Opportunity homes. If you run the dryer daily or the vent run is long with multiple elbows, every 6 months is safer. Homes with original 1960s-era vent runs and foil connectors load up faster than modern rigid-duct installations. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll tell you what your photos show.
Why does my dryer vent clog so fast in Opportunity?
The semi-arid climate produces lightweight, dry particulate that moves through the vent easily but packs quickly at bends. Older Opportunity homes often have vent runs with three or four elbows, and every bend is a collection point. A written camera record tells you whether your run needs re-engineering or just more frequent cleaning.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Opportunity
Duct repair and sealing in Opportunity means dealing with systems that have been moving heated and cooled air for half a century or more, and the seams show it. Galvanized metal ducts installed in the 1950s and 60s were sealed at the factory and left bare at the connections; sixty years of expansion, contraction, and vibration open gaps that leak conditioned air into attics and crawlspaces. Flex runs from later renovations sag, kink, and pull loose. Our Duct Repair & Sealing crews typically find enough leakage in Opportunity homes to account for 20-30% of the system’s output before we touch anything.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms at the end of a run stay cold in winter, or you see dust streaks around register grilles even after cleaning.
What it costs in Opportunity
Aeroseal or mastic-based sealing for a full Opportunity system runs $850-$1,400 depending on house size and duct count.
How we do it
We seal accessible seams and connections with mastic and foil tape, then take before-and-after airflow readings to show the difference in delivered air.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Some rooms feel noticeably weaker than others, or you see sagging foil runs in the attic or crawlspace.
What it costs in Opportunity
Replacing a damaged flex run in Opportunity runs $150-$300 per run.
How we do it
We remove the crushed or torn section, fit a correctly sized replacement, support it properly, and seal both connections with foil tape and mastic.
Metal Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You hear rattling or pinging from the ducts when the system runs, or you see rust staining on register covers.
What it costs in Opportunity
Metal duct repair in Opportunity typically runs $200-$500 per section, depending on access and severity.
How we do it
We cut back the damaged section, fit a replacement of the same gauge, and fasten and seal it to match the surrounding run.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
You can feel air moving around duct connections in an accessible crawlspace or basement, or gaps are visible at the seams.
What it costs in Opportunity
Full-system mastic application in Opportunity runs $600-$1,100.
How we do it
A brush-applied mastic coating fills and seals every accessible seam and joint, then we verify the seal with a smoke pencil test at each point.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Opportunity
| Item | Typical range in Opportunity |
|---|---|
| Full-system duct sealing | $850-$1,400 |
| Flex duct repair, per run | $150-$300 |
| Metal duct repair, per section | $200-$500 |
Do I need a permit to repair ducts in Opportunity?
Most duct repair and sealing work in Opportunity doesn’t require a permit, since it’s considered maintenance on an existing system. The exception is any relocation of duct runs or new penetrations through framing. We’ll tell you if your job crosses that line before we start.
How do I know the ducts are actually sealed?
You get a documented photo record of every sealed joint, plus before-and-after airflow readings delivered as part of the standard job file. The photos show what was done; the numbers show the effect. If the work isn’t right, our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers it in writing.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Opportunity
Air quality and sanitizing in Opportunity starts with a simple fact: wildfire smoke that settles inside ductwork doesn’t leave on its own. After the Spokane Valley basin holds smoke for several days in late summer, we find ash and fine particulate caked inside return plenums and coating blower compartments. Add in dust from the Rathdrum Prairie during dry summer months, and the air moving through your system carries more than you’d think. Air Quality & Sanitizing addresses what the camera shows, not what a technician guesses.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty smell when the system runs, visible staining inside supply registers, or a history of condensation in the ductwork.
What it costs in Opportunity
Mold treatment inside accessible ductwork in Opportunity runs $400-$900 depending on the affected area.
How we do it
We photograph the affected areas, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment inside the ductwork, and document the results with after photos.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Smoke odor persists weeks after the wildfire season, or there’s a stale smell that cleaning alone didn’t fix.
What it costs in Opportunity
Whole-system odor treatment in Opportunity runs $250-$500.
How we do it
We treat the affected surfaces with a professional-grade deodorizer and run it through the system to reach areas the camera identified.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold or bacteria growth on the evaporator coil, or anyone in the home has allergies that worsen when the system runs.
What it costs in Opportunity
UV light installation in Opportunity typically runs $600-$1,100 installed.
How we do it
We mount a hospital-grade UV lamp inside the plenum aimed at the coil, hard-wire it, and verify proper wavelength with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Opportunity
| Item | Typical range in Opportunity |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (inside ductwork) | $400-$900 |
| Whole-system odor removal | $250-$500 |
| UV light installation | $600-$1,100 |
Does air duct sanitizing remove wildfire smoke odor from Opportunity homes?
Yes, in most cases. The odor treatment targets the fine smoke particulate that settled inside the duct runs during valley inversion events, not just the odor itself. If the system has been sealed and run since the smoke event, the treatment reaches what cleaning leaves behind. Photos of the before and after come with the job.
Will UV lights kill mold in my Opportunity ductwork?
A properly installed UV light on the evaporator coil prevents mold from re-growing in that location, but it doesn’t remove existing mold from duct runs. We treat existing mold first, then install the UV system so the problem doesn’t come back. The camera record shows both steps.
