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 Alpharetta, GA
HVAC cleaning in Alpharetta typically runs $400-$800 for a complete system, with most jobs scheduled within a week of call. The city’s 1990s-2000s tech-boom housing stock, built during Windward and Northpark’s rapid expansion, means technicians regularly encounter four- to six-zone flex-duct systems now 20-30 years old and routed through attic spaces that hit 130-140°F in summer. That sustained heat degrades duct liner and loosens seams, so Alpharetta jobs require more time and documentation than newer Forsyth County builds. Call (678) 693-5322 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Alpharetta Homes Are Different
Alpharetta’s dominant housing stock is 2,500-5,000+ square foot two-story suburban homes built between 1990 and 2010, almost universally with multi-zone forced-air systems and long flex-duct trunk lines buried in attic space. Crews regularly encounter four- to six-zone systems with extensive branching runs, far more complex to clean than single-zone systems in older markets.
North Fulton County sits in one of the highest-pollen-load corridors in the country. Alpharetta was carved directly out of pine and hardwood forest, leaving mature loblolly pines and water oaks immediately adjacent to homes that dump extraordinary seasonal pollen loads. When pollen infiltrates return-air grilles during Georgia’s extended spring and combines with high summer humidity, ductwork becomes a prime site for biofilm accumulation.
In late-1990s subdivisions, flex duct was often undersupported at joist runs and has sagged at mid-span after 25-plus years of thermal cycling, creating belly traps that pool fine red-clay dust and pine debris. Technicians find the same low-point accumulation pattern neighborhood after neighborhood in that specific construction vintage.
