Air Duct Cleaning Company in Sandy, OR
Sandy homes sit where the valley meets Mount Hood, and that shows up in the ductwork. Wood smoke from stoves and fireplaces settles into ducts through the winter, spring brings heavy pollen off the forest, and older homes near the Sandy River often hide rusted return seams and crushed flex runs behind the registers. We repair ductwork, not just clean it, using professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro. Call (844) 523-1942 to book a free estimate.
Why Sandy Homes Are Different
Two very different housing types sit inside Sandy, and they fail in different ways. The older, modest single-family homes that make up much of the town were built with forced-air furnaces and original duct runs. Decades of damp winter air have left many return seams rusted, and flex runs that were connected once and never touched again are now crushed, sagging or pulled apart at the joint. Newer subdivisions on the edges of town are tight and energy-efficient, which means a dirty duct system is more noticeable there because the same air recirculates with less outside leakage to dilute it.
The climate adds a second layer. Cool, wet winters and proximity to the Mount Hood National Forest drive high pollen loads in spring and elevated mold spore levels in fall. Winter inversions trap wood smoke and fine particulate near the ground, and it gets drawn into HVAC systems. Many Sandy homeowners run the furnace fan continuously during wildfire season, which pulls ash into the ductwork instead of letting it settle on a shelf.

Our Main Sandy Services
Sandy homeowners call us most often about two things: ductwork that isn’t moving air the way it should, and a dryer vent that hasn’t been opened up in years.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sandy
In Sandy, cleaning starts with the source. Wood smoke residue from stoves and fireplaces leaves a stubborn film inside duct walls that a shop vacuum won’t touch, so we use Rotobrush equipment to agitate the surface and pull material out under negative pressure. Spring pollen and fall mold spores get the same treatment. Before we finish, we take before-and-after photos of your own ducts, and the flat price per system is agreed before any work starts. See Air Duct Cleaning in Sandy for the full breakdown of what a visit covers.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sandy
Lint buildup in a dryer vent is one of the leading causes of residential fires, and in Sandy’s older homes the vent runs are often longer and more convoluted than the original design intended. We clear the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, check the damper and check for crushed sections behind the wall, and show you what came out. If the run is damaged, we can correct it rather than just report it. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sandy explains what the job involves and when it’s due.
Air Duct Repair in Sandy
Air duct repair in Sandy usually starts with a symptom: a room that never warms up, a whistling register, or a heating bill that climbed without explanation. In the older homes near the Sandy River, the cause is often rusted return seams or a flex run that came loose years ago and has been dumping conditioned air into a crawlspace ever since. Newer, tight construction fails differently, with undersized or poorly sealed runs that throw off the whole system’s balance. Either way, sealing and correcting the ductwork is air duct repair, and it’s work we do rather than hand you a problem report and walk away.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
You need ductwork repair when rooms heat unevenly, when you hear rattling or whistling at a register, or when dust reappears on surfaces just days after cleaning.
What it costs in Sandy
Most ductwork repair jobs in Sandy run $250 to $700, and larger jobs with multiple failed sections typically fall in the $600 to $1,200 range.
How we do it
We inspect the full run with a camera, identify the failed joints, crushed flex or rusted seams, then seal, reconnect or replace those sections and re-test airflow at the registers.
Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Replacement makes sense when the existing ductwork is rusted through, wrapped in deteriorated insulation, or so badly crushed that repair would cost nearly as much as a new run.
What it costs in Sandy
Duct replacement in Sandy typically runs $1,500 to $4,500 depending on the number of runs and the accessibility of the attic or crawlspace.
How we do it
We remove the failed ductwork, install properly sealed and insulated replacement runs sized to the system, then check static pressure and airflow room by room before we’re done.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Sandy
| Item | Typical range in Sandy |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (sealing, reconnecting, patching) | $250 – $700 |
| Larger ductwork repair (multiple failed sections) | $600 – $1,200 |
| Duct replacement (full run) | $1,500 – $4,500 |
Should I repair the ducts or replace them?
Repair is usually the right call when the failure is isolated to a joint, a crushed flex section or a rusted seam. Replacement makes more sense when the ductwork is failing in multiple places or the insulation wrap has broken down. We inspect first and give you the honest answer.
Can you repair ductwork on an older Sandy home without tearing into the walls?
Most of the time, yes. Attic and crawlspace access handles the large majority of repairs in Sandy’s older homes. Where a run is buried in a finished wall, we’ll explain the options and the cost before any work begins. Call (844) 523-1942 for a free estimate.

What Sandy Customers Say
"My wife's allergies had been bad in this house since we moved in. It's been two months since they did the ducts and it's noticeably better. Not a miracle, but real."
- Dale Schaefer"Found a disconnected run in the crawlspace while they were in there and told me about it rather than cleaning around it."
- Brooke Norris"Quoted per system rather than the bait and switch per vent pricing everybody else in town uses. The number I was told on the phone was the number on the invoice."
