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 Palm Harbor, FL
Dryer vent cleaning in Palm Harbor is a different job than it is inland because most homes here are 1980s and 1990s concrete-block builds whose original metal or flex vents now carry decades of lint packed against salt-corroded joints. The county’s peninsula geography traps Gulf and Tampa Bay moisture, so that lint stays damp and sticks instead of staying dry and loose. A written price before any work starts is how we operate on every job in Palm Harbor. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
Why Palm Harbor Homes Are Different
Palm Harbor’s residential core is dominated by planned-community subdivisions from the 1980s and 1990s: Highland Lakes, Fox Chase, Lansbrook. Those homes were built with fiberglass flex duct that is now 30 to 40 years old and still sitting in attics that hit 130 degrees in July and never fully dry out because the humidity coming off the Gulf on one side and Tampa Bay on the other keeps ambient moisture extreme. Air conditioners here run 10 to 11 months a year, which means the duct system never gets the seasonal rest that inland Florida systems get. We see the result on camera: darkened duct liner, debris packed at elbows, and register boots that have been pulling attic air into bedrooms for years. In Highland Lakes specifically, the concentration of original 1980s systems means we regularly find flex duct that has never been opened since installation 35-plus years ago, with mold growth that homeowners only notice when allergy symptoms get bad enough to investigate.
Our Main Palm Harbor Services
When Palm Harbor homeowners call about their ductwork, two jobs come up more than any other: full air duct cleaning and deeper HVAC cleaning of the coil, blower, and plenum. Both are covered by our written-price policy and our documented photo record on every visit.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Harbor
Full air duct cleaning in Palm Harbor means pulling negative-pressure extraction through every run, brushing out the interior walls, and photographing the inside of each duct before and after. In homes near the Gulf, salt-laden air accelerates corrosion at the register collars, which then leak and pull attic air into the living space. That is why we inspect and document every collar while the ductwork is open. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Harbor page walks through the full job, what we find in this housing stock, and what our customers get on paper when the work is done.
HVAC Cleaning in Palm Harbor
Palm Harbor’s near-continuous AC run times mean the evaporator coil and blower wheel accumulate a biofilm and dirt layer that most homeowners never see until the unit starts short-cycling or the air smells off. Our HVAC Cleaning in Palm Harbor page covers coil cleaning, blower wheel removal and cleaning, and sanitizing of the plenum, along with documented photos of each component before and after.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Harbor
Dryer vent cleaning in Palm Harbor changes in one specific way from other Florida cities: the humidity here keeps lint damp inside the vent, and damp lint compacts into a solid plug instead of staying loose. In a 1980s Highland Lakes home whose dryer vent is original, that plug can span the entire 15 to 20 feet from the laundry room to the exterior wall. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning service begins with a written price and ends with before-and-after photos of the full vent run.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take two cycles to dry, or the laundry room runs warmer than the rest of the house while the dryer is on.
What it costs in Palm Harbor
A camera inspection with a written condition report typically runs $85 to $150 in Palm Harbor, and that fee is waived when the cleaning happens the same visit.
How we do it
We run a video camera through the full vent from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, note every elbow, gap, or blockage, and hand you a written condition report with photos.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
The dryer runs hot, the exterior flapper barely moves, or visible lint sits around the vent termination outside.
What it costs in Palm Harbor
Full lint removal from a single dryer vent typically costs $140 to $220 in Palm Harbor, including the photo record.
How we do it
We feed a rotating brush through the full run, pull packed lint back into a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and photograph the inside of the vent before and after.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The current vent runs 20 feet or more, uses more than two elbows, or terminates under a soffit vent instead of a dedicated exterior hood.
What it costs in Palm Harbor
Rerouting a dryer vent to a shorter run with a proper exterior hood typically runs $275 to $450 in Palm Harbor.
How we do it
We map the shortest code-compliant route, remove the old vent, install rigid or semi-rigid duct with minimal elbows, and photograph the finished run from every opening.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Palm Harbor
| Item | Typical range in Palm Harbor |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection with camera report | $85 - $150 |
| Full lint removal, single vent | $140 - $220 |
| Vent rerouting with new exterior hood | $275 - $450 |
How often should I clean my dryer vent in Palm Harbor?
Every 12 months in a home where the dryer runs 4 to 6 loads a week. The humidity in Palm Harbor causes lint to compact faster than it does inland, so a vent can block in under a year. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Can a blocked dryer vent cause a fire in Palm Harbor humidity?
Yes. Damp lint that becomes a solid plug is still fuel, and a gas or electric dryer heating element can ignite it. This is a real fire hazard. We photograph and document every vent we clean so you can see the difference ourselves before and after the work.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Palm Harbor
Duct repair and sealing in Palm Harbor frequently comes down to two problems: original 1980s flex duct that has collapsed or torn in the attic, and metal collars and registers corroded by decades of salt-laden air from the Gulf. A leak in the duct system pulls attic air into the living space, and in Palm Harbor that attic air carries mold spores from the warm, permanently damp conditions in the attic. Our Duct Repair & Sealing service locates every leak, seals or replaces what is needed, and delivers a written photo record of every repaired section.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms at the end of a run never reach set temperature, or dust accumulates on surfaces days after cleaning.
What it costs in Palm Harbor
Professional sealing of accessible duct joints and supply collars typically runs $350 to $650 in Palm Harbor, depending on the number of connections.
How we do it
We locate leaks by hand and with a smoke puffer, clean the joint surfaces, apply mastic sealant to create a permanent bond, and photograph every sealed connection.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
A duct run hangs visibly collapsed or torn in the attic, or one room gets almost no airflow while others get plenty.
What it costs in Palm Harbor
Repairing or replacing a damaged flex duct run typically runs $250 to $500 per run in Palm Harbor, depending on length and accessibility.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section or replace the full run, pull the new flex taut to the collar with proper fasteners and mastic, and photograph the before and after of that run.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Palm Harbor
| Item | Typical range in Palm Harbor |
|---|---|
| Duct joint and collar sealing | $350 - $650 |
| Flex duct repair or replacement, per run | $250 - $500 |
| Register and collar replacement with sealing | $180 - $380 |
How do I know if my Palm Harbor ducts are leaking?
A thermal camera or smoke test is the reliable way to find leaks. Telltale signs are uneven room temperatures, dust on surfaces days after cleaning, and higher electric bills during the long cooling season. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote and a camera-based inspection.
Can duct sealing reduce AC run time in Palm Harbor?
Yes. When sealed ducts stop pulling humid attic air into the system, the coil works less hard and the unit runs shorter cycles. For homes running AC 10 months a year, that savings compounds. We document every sealed joint so you can verify the work.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Palm Harbor
Air quality and sanitizing work in Palm Harbor often targets what lives inside the duct system, not just the air in a room. Because the ducts sit in a hot, humid attic and the AC pulls air through them almost year-round, the interior lining becomes a surface where mold and bacteria grow in the damp, dark conditions. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service treats the inside of the duct system, not the living room, and documents the before and after with photographs.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible dark staining appears at supply registers, or the air smells musty when the AC first turns on.
What it costs in Palm Harbor
Professional mold treatment of accessible duct interior surfaces typically runs $450 to $800 in Palm Harbor, depending on the length of the duct system.
How we do it
We mechanically clean the duct interior to remove the mold food source, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial under negative pressure, and photograph the surfaces before and after.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
The house smells of cooking, pet, or smoke that returns after airing out, and no surface cleaning removes it.
What it costs in Palm Harbor
Odor removal from the duct system, including a full interior cleaning and thermal fogging, typically runs $300 to $550 in Palm Harbor.
How we do it
We clean the full duct run to remove odor-carrying particles, fog the interior with an odor counteractant, and document the process with photos of each zone.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Palm Harbor
| Item | Typical range in Palm Harbor |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment of accessible duct interior | $450 - $800 |
| Odor removal with thermal fogging | $300 - $550 |
| UV light installation in supply plenum | $500 - $950 |
Does sanitizing ducts actually help in Palm Harbor?
When the treatment targets the duct lining where mold is growing, yes. Sanitizing the air in the room does almost nothing. The source in Palm Harbor is typically the duct interior. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote that includes the photo record.
Can I just replace the ducts instead of sanitizing them?
In some homes, yes, and we will tell you when replacement is the better move. But in many 1980s Palm Harbor homes the ducts are still structurally sound, and cleaning plus sanitizing is the smaller, fully documented job that solves the problem.

Scheduling is normally set within one to two business days. Dispatch is coordinated from our Miami office, but the crews performing the work in Palm Harbor are local and arrive in branded vehicles with the written scope ready to review before any work begins.
Interior duct cleaning, repair, and sanitizing almost never require HOA approval because no exterior structure changes. Dryer vent rerouting may require only that the new exterior termination matches the existing stucco or siding. We can document the exterior appearance for any HOA request.
You receive photographs of the inside of every duct run, before and after, along with the written scope and the written warranty. For dryer vents we photograph the full vent path. This is a standard deliverable on every CleanRun job in Palm Harbor. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
