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 Company in Larkfield-Wikiup, CA
Air duct cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup runs between $380 and $650 for a typical single-system home, with the job usually taking 3 to 5 hours. Homes here carry a burden most Bay Area neighborhoods don’t: fine gray-black ash from the October 2017 Tubbs Fire, still sitting in ductwork that was never cleaned. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through exactly what’s in your system before we touch anything.
Why Larkfield-Wikiup Homes Are Different
Larkfield-Wikiup sits at the epicenter of the Tubbs Fire, and that fact reshapes nearly every duct cleaning we do here. Homes that survived but sat in the smoke and ember zone have ductwork loaded with fine wildfire ash and particulates the residents can’t see. Meanwhile, the wave of rebuilding that ran from 2018 through 2023 means many surviving homes drew years of drywall dust, insulation fibers, and construction debris into their HVAC systems. It’s a dual contamination problem you won’t find in newer flatland developments.
The housing stock splits two ways. Pre-2017 ranch and tract homes, many built in the 1970s through 1990s, often still have original flex ductwork with sagging runs and small gaps that trap ash and dust. New post-Tubbs rebuilds look clean but rarely are: first-time duct cleanings pull out drywall dust, sawdust, and paint overspray from the construction phase. Technicians working Tubbs survivor homes routinely find a telltale gray-black residue coating supply boots and filter housings, distinct from ordinary household dust. Many of these systems haven’t been professionally cleaned since the fire.
The Mark West Creek corridor adds its own load. Seasonal north winds, the same Diablo conditions that drove the fire, funnel smoke from repeat Northern California fire seasons straight into Larkfield-Wikiup. Duct systems here take on a recurring annual deposit of fine PM2.5 ash, year after year, far more than flatland communities to the south.
Our Main Larkfield-Wikiup Services
Two jobs dominate the calls we get from Larkfield-Wikiup homeowners, both shaped by the fire-zone conditions above.
Air Duct Cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup
We clean the full duct system: supply and return runs, boots, plenums, and the filter housing. In Larkfield-Wikiup, we’re specifically looking for that Tubbs ash residue and construction-phase debris, not just household dust. We run Rotobrush agitation equipment through the runs and capture dislodged material with a HEPA-filtered vacuum, so nothing we pull out re-enters the living space. We protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the first step inside. Full details and pricing are on our Air Duct Cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup
Dryer vents in Larkfield-Wikiup collect the same fine ash as the HVAC system, and the older flex transitions found in many pre-2017 homes trap lint fast. We clear the entire run from dryer to exterior termination, check the damper, and confirm airflow at the exit. A written price is agreed before we start, no per-foot surprises. The full scope and local specifics are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup page.

What Larkfield-Wikiup Customers Say
"New house, old dusty ducts. They were gentle in the house, laid down drop cloths, and double checked every register was sealed back up. Air smells fresh now."
- Scott Hemmings"Friendly, calm crew that clearly cared about the house. Covered their shoes, protected the floors, and double checked they'd closed up every vent cover properly. Would have them back."
- Omar Zaid"Ducts and dryer vent both. They put runners down the whole hall and wore booties. Spotless after, and they showed me photos of what came out. Worth every penny."
