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 Severna Park, MD
Dryer vent cleaning in Severna Park is the service we book most often, and the reason is written into the local housing stock. Most homes here are 1960s-1980s colonials and ranches built over vented crawl spaces, where dryer vents run long distances through damp, low-airflow zones before reaching an exterior wall. That geometry, combined with Severna Park’s year-round tidal humidity, produces lint blockages and vent-damaged runs faster than almost anywhere else in Anne Arundel County. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Severna Park Homes Are Different
Severna Park occupies a wooded peninsula between the Severn River and the Magothy River, and that position creates a microclimate that is measurably more moisture-laden than what inland Anne Arundel communities experience. Relative humidity here routinely tops what you’d record in Pasadena or Glen Burnie, especially from June through September, and the dense oak and tulip poplar canopy blocks the drying sunlight that would otherwise pull moisture out of crawl spaces and duct runs.
The typical Severna Park home is a 1960s-1980s single-family colonial, ranch, or split-level on a heavily wooded lot, and a large share of those homes were built over vented crawl spaces rather than full basements. Ductwork running through those crawl spaces has spent decades in a damp environment, and joint separations in older flex and sheet-metal ducts are common. When those joints separate, the system pulls crawl-space air, and whatever mold or debris is down there, directly into the living space. We document this on camera before we touch anything.
Our Main Severna Park Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Severna Park homeowners, and each one has enough local nuance that it gets its own page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Severna Park
Whole-system duct cleaning in Severna Park means negative-pressure extraction through every supply and return run, with the crawl-space sections getting extra attention because that’s where the moisture and mold risk concentrate. Our crews photograph the interior of each run before and after, so you can see what the camera found at the first elbow and what it looks like after extraction. Full details on Air Duct Cleaning in Severna Park.
HVAC Cleaning in Severna Park
HVAC cleaning in Severna Park covers the blower, evaporator coil, drain pan, and plenum, the components where condensation and dust collect on homes with tidal air moving through them. A coil caked with a season’s worth of pollen and humidity-driven biofilm runs less efficiently and pushes that load into the ductwork. See the full scope on HVAC Cleaning in Severna Park.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Severna Park
Dryer vent cleaning in this part of Anne Arundel County is a mold-and-fire prevention job as much as an efficiency one, because Severna Park’s humid air slows lint drying and makes clogs form faster in long crawl-space runs. When a vent is blocked, the dryer runs hotter, moisture stays in the run longer, and the risk of a lint fire climbs. We offer Dryer Vent Cleaning with a written price before any work starts and before-and-after photos of the interior of the run, every time.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes are taking longer than 45 minutes to dry, or the exterior vent hood feels warm and damp while the dryer is running.
What it costs in Severna Park
A camera inspection of the full vent run typically costs $95-$185 as a standalone job in Severna Park.
How we do it
We send a camera through the entire run, measure the airflow at the exterior termination, and photograph any restriction, disconnection, or moisture damage.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
Lint is visible at the exterior vent hood, the laundry room feels humid while the dryer runs, or a burning smell comes from the back of the unit.
What it costs in Severna Park
Full vent cleaning with negative-pressure extraction and brushed agitation typically runs $145-$250 for a standard Severna Park run.
How we do it
We brush the full interior from the dryer connection to the exterior hood, run a negative-pressure vacuum to pull loosened lint out, then photograph the result.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Severna Park
| Item | Typical range in Severna Park |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $95-$185 |
| Vent cleaning (standard run) | $145-$250 |
| Bird guard installation | $75-$140 |
How often should dryer vents be cleaned in Severna Park?
Every 12 months for most Severna Park homes, and every 6 months if the vent run exceeds 15 feet or passes through a crawl space. The humidity here shortens that interval compared to drier inland areas.
Can you clean a dryer vent that runs under a crawl space?
Yes, and that’s the single most common configuration we see in Severna Park. We run the camera and brush through the full length, including the crawl-space section, and photograph the result. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Severna Park
Duct repair and sealing in Severna Park almost always starts with a crawl-space find: a separated joint, a sagged flex run, or a puncture that’s been pulling damp air into the system. The area’s 1960s-1980s ductwork was not built for decades of tidal humidity, and the failures we find are typically visible on camera within the first ten minutes. Our Duct Repair & Sealing work always starts with that photo record and a written price for the repair scope.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms at the far end of the house never reach the thermostat temperature, or your utility bills run higher than neighbors’ homes of the same size.
What it costs in Severna Park
Sealing accessible duct joints with mastic typically runs $350-$650 in Severna Park, depending on the number of runs and access.
How we do it
We locate leaks with the blower running, then apply mastic sealant to every accessible joint and seam, photographing each repair before and after.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Sections of duct have sagged or separated in the crawl space, or the camera shows tears and kinks in the flex runs.
What it costs in Severna Park
Replacing a damaged flex duct section typically costs $220-$420 per run in Severna Park, depending on length and crawl-space access.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section, fit a new properly sized flex run, seal both connections with mastic and UL-listed tape, and photograph the finished repair.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Severna Park
| Item | Typical range in Severna Park |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing (accessible joints) | $350-$650 |
| Flex duct replacement (per run) | $220-$420 |
| Duct insulation wrap (per run) | $160-$320 |
Do I need a permit for duct repair in Severna Park?
Most duct sealing and flex-run replacement work does not require a permit when it is repair in kind and no structural changes are made. For larger modifications, we confirm Anne Arundel County requirements before writing the scope.
How do I know the leaks were actually sealed?
Every repair job includes a photo record of the joints and runs we touched, plus a written scope noting each leak location and the sealant applied. You can point to exactly what was done. Call (806) 606-6902 to get a written price.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Severna Park
Air quality work in Severna Park starts with what the camera shows inside the ductwork: mold colonization, pollen deposition, or both, with the area’s tidal humidity making the conditions right for each. The heavy oak and tulip poplar canopy drives some of the highest springtime pollen counts in the Annapolis-Baltimore corridor, and many homes here have outdoor air intakes near grade or under ground-level decks that funnel that pollen straight into the system. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service treats what’s actually present, and only what’s present, after we document it.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odors come from the registers when the system runs, or the camera shows visible mold spots on the interior of supply ducts.
What it costs in Severna Park
Mold treatment of supply and return duct interiors with an EPA-registered antimicrobial typically runs $550-$950 in Severna Park.
How we do it
We fog the full duct system with an EPA-registered antimicrobial, then run the blower to coat interior surfaces, and photograph the before and after condition.
Air Purifier Install
Signs you need it
A household member has persistent allergy symptoms indoors, and the home sits under heavy tree cover that delivers high pollen loads into the intake.
What it costs in Severna Park
A Honeywell or Aprilaire media air purifier installation typically runs $400-$700 in Severna Park, including the unit and labor.
How we do it
We install a media filter cabinet or electronic air purifier at the air handler, wire it to run with the blower, and verify airflow pressure before leaving.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Severna Park
| Item | Typical range in Severna Park |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (full duct system) | $550-$950 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (duct interiors) | $250-$450 |
| Air purifier installation | $400-$700 |
Is the yellow-green deposit in my ducts pollen or mold?
In Severna Park it is usually pollen, especially in spring when oak and tulip poplar bloom and near-grade intakes pull that load straight into the system. We photograph it and identify what we’re seeing before recommending any treatment. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
How long does mold take to return after duct cleaning?
In Severna Park’s sustained humidity, mold can re-establish within one season if the underlying moisture source is not addressed. That’s why we document what we find and recommend a moisture check before treating. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written assessment.
