Air Duct and Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County
In a South Florida attic, a supply run with the insulation slipped back sweats every month of the year, the dust around it stays damp, and the house starts to smell when the system kicks on. The cleaning pulls every run under negative pressure, seals the joints that sweat, and is priced for the whole home before anyone is booked.
Based in West Palm Beach, working from Jupiter south to Boca Raton and west to Wellington and The Acreage. Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm.

Humid attics, condo vents and one state code
Palm Beach County runs the air conditioner every month of the year, and whatever is in the air, construction dust, pet dander, salt off the ocean and the mold spores that thrive in South Florida humidity, ends up in the ducts.
Where the water goes
An air handler in this county pulls moisture out of the house twelve months a year. Cooling demand at Palm Beach International stays above 100 degree days even in January, and the wet season runs May through October. UF/IFAS says most molds do best above 60 percent relative humidity, and the place moisture collects in a house is the cold side of the air system.
That matters at the duct joints. A supply run carrying cold air through a hot attic sweats wherever the insulation has slid back, the dust in that low spot stays damp, and the first sign is a musty smell in the first minute after the system kicks on. So the work here is two jobs at once. The runs get cleaned under negative pressure, then the collars are sealed with mastic and the insulation is pulled back over the bare metal so the joint stops sweating. Sanitizer comes into it only if the camera shows growth instead of dust, at $99 to $149.
Flamingo Park to Westlake
West Palm Beach runs from 1920s boom houses in Flamingo Park, Old Northwood and El Cid to the newer towers downtown, and about two thirds of its homes were built before 2000, a quarter of them before 1970. In the older houses central air came later, so the ducts are retrofits in a hot, humid attic that sweat wherever the insulation has slipped, and the newer condos and townhomes often still hold construction dust.
The new end of the county is its own story. Building permits peaked in 2021 at 7,851 units and fell to about 4,100 to 4,200 a year in 2024 and 2025, which means the 2020 to 2022 wave of houses out west is now at the age where the first cleaning is due. Most of those systems ran while the drywall was sanded and were never cleaned after.
Condo laundry closets
Across the county, laundry closets inside the house and stacked units in condos vent through the attic or the building to a roof, soffit or wall cap, often 25 feet or more with several elbows, close to the 35-foot code limit. Those are the runs that clog within a year and come apart out of sight. In a tower in Boca Raton or on Singer Island, the vent from a stacked washer and dryer can cross a ceiling, drop through a chase and end at a wall cap well away from the unit. The crew works it from the dryer collar to the termination, clears the lint at the damper, and measures airflow at both ends so the association has a number, not a promise.
Florida writes one building code for every city in the state, so a vent repair in Jupiter goes to the same rules as one in Delray Beach: rigid metal, no screws through the joints, a damper at the cap and no screen over it. Rerouting a run that breaks those rules is $150 to $400.
What it costs
$395 to $495 covers one system, supply side and return side, trunks and plenums, with the resealing included. Larger Wellington homes often have a second air handler, which adds $250 on the same visit. A dryer vent alone is $129; ducts and vent together are $475 to $575. If you only want to know what is in there, the camera inspection is $79, credited toward cleaning.
Condo owners: have the unit number, the floor and the association's contact ready when you call, because many buildings and gated communities want a certificate of insurance before the crew is let up.

Frequently asked questions
The condo association wants every dryer vent cleaned. What do they get from you?
A photo of each vent at the dryer end and at the cap, before and after, and a dated sheet listing the unit, the run and the airflow reading. Stacked units in the coastal towers often vent a long way through the building, so the whole length is cleared rather than the first few feet behind the dryer. The per-unit price comes from the vent count and how far each run goes, and a certificate of insurance can be sent to the manager ahead of the first day.
The AC smells musty for a minute after it starts. Is that mold?
Often it is growth on the coil or in a damp low spot of a supply run. UF/IFAS says most molds do best above 60 percent humidity and advises shutting the system off if you suspect mold inside it. The camera settles the question. Growth means the coil and the run get cleaned, the joint gets resealed, and an EPA-registered antimicrobial labeled for HVAC use goes on after, at $99 to $149. Plain dust means the cleaning alone usually ends the smell. UF/IFAS also advises a professional for any patch bigger than about 10 square feet.
How is the price worked out?
From the square footage and the number of air handlers. One system is $395 to $495, resealing included. Each additional system on the same visit is $250. Dryer vent cleaning is $129 by itself and $475 to $575 with the ducts. The number you get on the phone is the number on the invoice.
A storm pushed water through the roof. What happens to the ducts?
Leave the system off until someone has looked. UF/IFAS notes mold risk climbs after a storm puts water into a house, and a wet duct run or air handler is where it starts. Start with the camera inspection: $79, credited toward cleaning. Runs that held standing water are usually replaced rather than cleaned, and that gets priced from the photos.
The house in Westlake is three years old. Does it need cleaning?
Once. A system that ran through drywall sanding and texture spray holds that dust in the flex, and it shows up as a white film around the registers. One cleaning after the builder leaves takes it out, and after that the schedule below applies.
