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 Florence-Graham, CA
Air duct cleaning in Florence-Graham costs between $400 and $700 for a typical 3-bedroom home, and the job usually takes half a day. What makes Florence-Graham different is the air itself: homes here sit in one of California’s highest-pollution corridors, and ductwork accumulates diesel soot and industrial particulate far faster than in most of LA County. If you’re noticing dust on furniture within days of cleaning, or a faint exhaust smell when the HVAC kicks on, the ducts are doing exactly what this location forces them to do. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Florence-Graham Homes Are Different
Florence-Graham is consistently ranked among the highest-burden communities in California’s CalEnviroScreen database. The neighborhood sits directly between the 710 freeway corridor’s diesel truck volumes serving the Ports of LA and Long Beach, and Southeast LA’s industrial zone. What that means for a home’s ductwork is specific and measurable: within a half-mile of the 710, our technicians routinely find duct interiors coated with a dark, greasy diesel-soot film that standard rotary brush passes alone cannot fully clear. It’s a signature of near-road ultrafine particle infiltration, and we see it here more intensely than almost anywhere else in the county.
Then there’s the housing stock. Florence-Graham is dominated by post-WWII wood-frame single-family homes and duplexes built in the 1940s through 1960s on small, tightly packed lots. Many still have original or patchwork ductwork from that era, including deteriorating flex duct added in mid-century retrofits. Some duct connections are wrapped in insulation that may contain asbestos, which means a proper assessment has to happen before any cleaning work begins. Add South LA’s urban heat island effect, which pushes HVAC systems to run significantly more hours than in coastal communities like Culver City or Torrance, and the ducts here simply work harder and get dirtier faster. Fall Santa Ana winds drive wildfire ash and inland valley dust into the basin too, spiking particulate loads inside residential ductwork.
Our Main Florence-Graham Services
Two services cover the vast majority of what Florence-Graham homeowners call us about: air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated Florence-Graham page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Florence-Graham
Air duct cleaning in Florence-Graham is a different job than in most LA neighborhoods because the contaminant isn’t just household dust, it’s diesel particulate and industrial soot that clings to duct walls. We run professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment in a multi-pass process: agitation to break the bonded film loose, then negative-air extraction to pull it out of the home. We protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment the crew walks in, and quiet tools mean the job can run during nap hours. See the full breakdown on the Air Duct Cleaning in Florence-Graham page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Florence-Graham
Dryer vent cleaning takes on extra weight in Florence-Graham because the same airborne grime that coats air ducts also lines dryer vents, and a restricted vent is a genuine fire risk. Lint mixed with diesel soot forms a dense, sometimes sticky obstruction that a standard homeowner brush can’t remove. We clear the full vent run from dryer to exterior, verify airflow with a meter, and show you the before-and-after so you know the work was actually done. Pricing and local specifics are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Florence-Graham page.
