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 Corte Madera, CA
Air duct cleaning in Corte Madera runs between $390 and $610 for a full single-system home, with dryer vent cleaning typically $95 to $145. Homes here need a different approach than inland Marin because the bay-marsh microclimate keeps ducts damp, which bonds dust and triggers mold growth in systems that would stay clean in drier towns. Our crews work around Corte Madera’s older flatland housing stock and the specific contamination patterns it creates. If you’re looking for the right service, call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through exactly what applies to your house.
Why Corte Madera Homes Are Different
Corte Madera’s flatland neighborhoods sit right against the Corte Madera Marsh and Richardson Bay, and that location shapes nearly every air duct job we do here. The persistent humidity that funnels in off the bay and along the Corte Madera Creek corridor keeps relative humidity measurably higher on the east side of Highway 101 than in San Anselmo or Fairfax. What that means inside a duct system is simple: dust bonds to duct walls more aggressively, and fiberglass duct liner breaks down faster, shedding particles into bedrooms and living spaces.
The bulk of Corte Madera’s housing was developed in the 1950s and 1960s as post-war tract homes. Those original sheet-metal ducts went in with minimal sealing and no meaningful vapor barriers. Sixty-plus years of bay air later, many of those systems have degraded liners and accumulated moisture-driven debris. Homes closest to the Corte Madera Ecological Reserve pull in tidal-marsh particulates through their return-air intakes: salt aerosols, wetland organic debris, and spores from marsh vegetation on prevailing bay breezes. It’s a contamination profile you don’t see a mile west toward the Tam foothills.
Our Main Corte Madera Services
Two jobs account for most of what Corte Madera homeowners call us about, and each has its own detailed page because the work here is specific enough to warrant it.
Air Duct Cleaning in Corte Madera
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Corte Madera starts with an inspection of the return side, where bay-marsh particulates concentrate in flatland homes. We run professional-grade equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies through the full supply and return network, removing bonded dust, degraded liner material, and the salt-and-spore residue that settles into low-lying neighborhoods. Floors get shoe covers and drop cloths before anything else happens. For the full breakdown of what this job includes locally, see Air Duct Cleaning in Corte Madera.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Corte Madera
Dryer vents in Corte Madera’s older tract homes often run long horizontal distances from laundry closets to exterior walls, and bay humidity makes lint clump inside rather than blow through. We clean the entire run from the dryer connection to the outside termination, checking for the sagging and separation common in 1960s vent installations. The same upfront written price applies, with no changes once we start. Learn what’s involved on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Corte Madera page.
