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 Kensington, CA
Air duct cleaning in Kensington means working inside homes where the ductwork is often 50 to 70 years old, original to the house, and running through damp Connecticut basements or unconditioned crawl spaces. We see ranch homes and split-levels from the 1950s through 1970s where forced-air systems were installed during original construction, then patched with flex-duct extensions decades later. That combination creates collection points for dust, fiberglass insulation particles, and mold in the joints and transitions. If your Kensington home’s ducts have not been professionally cleaned, you’re likely breathing air that has passed through decades of accumulated debris. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Kensington Homes Are Different
Kensington is a mid-20th-century suburban village within Berlin, CT, built largely during the town’s post-WWII transition from an industrial and agricultural economy to a bedroom community. The resulting concentration of 1950s-1970s ranch homes and split-levels means ductwork that is 50-70 years old, often original to the house, and sitting in damp Connecticut basements or unconditioned crawl spaces that have cycled through decades of humid summers and heavy heating seasons. Professionally neglected duct systems are the norm rather than the exception here.
Situated in the Central Connecticut Lowlands, Kensington experiences genuine four-season demand on HVAC systems. Furnaces run hard from November through April, and central AC carries the humid July-August corridor. That year-round dual-mode use accelerates particulate buildup in ducts. Summer humidity in unconditioned basement runs regularly promotes microbial growth between cleaning cycles. Many ranch homes in the Berlin/Kensington area were built with ductwork routed through uninsulated crawl spaces over slab-on-grade sections, a construction pattern common in 1960s central Connecticut. Ground moisture and insulation deterioration over decades leave ducts coated with a mixture of fiberglass debris, dust, and mildew that residents only notice when the furnace fires up each October.
Our Main Kensington Services
Kensington homeowners most often call us for two jobs: a full air duct cleaning on original sheet-metal systems with flex-duct extensions, and dryer vent cleaning on vents that run through finished basements and tight wall cavities. Here is what each involves in this town.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kensington
Most Kensington homes have forced-air systems installed during original construction, with original sheet-metal ductwork that has never been fully cleaned. Over decades, the joints and transitions collect dust, fiberglass insulation particles, and sometimes mildew from summer humidity in basement runs. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Kensington page covers exactly how we clean those runs, what we use from Rotobrush and Nikro, and what a typical Kensington job costs. We protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths before any equipment comes inside, and we give you a written price before we start.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kensington
Dryer vents in Kensington’s split-levels and cape cods often run through finished basement ceilings or tight wall cavities, which means lint buildup can hide for years. The vent may look fine from the outside while the interior is heavily restricted. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kensington page explains the full process, the equipment we bring, and what to expect for pricing. We work quietly, we keep the area clean, and we photograph the finished vent before we leave.

What Kensington Customers Say
"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
- Shelby Dunham"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."
