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 Davis, CA
Air duct cleaning in Davis typically costs $350-$600 for a full single-family home and is completed in half a day; that’s before factoring in one of Yolo County’s heavier agricultural dust loads. Most Davis jobs take longer and pull more debris than a comparable Sacramento home simply because the city sits surrounded by working farmland on all sides. Two services account for nearly all of our Davis work: air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page on this site, linked just below. Our crews know the difference between campus-area rentals, Olivers’ 1960s track homes, and West Davis properties backed up against the rice fields. If you want a written price for your specific system before anyone touches a vent, call (323) 918-4345.
Why Davis Homes Are Different
Davis is a college town built fast between the 1960s and 1980s on former farm ground, and the housing stock still shows it. A large share of single-family homes in North and Central Davis run original flexible ductwork now forty to fifty years old, much of it with interior liners breaking down and shedding material into the airstream. Rental properties near UC Davis compound the problem: many systems go five to seven years without any cleaning between tenant cycles, leaving compacted debris that requires slower, more thorough extraction than a lightly dusted system.
Climate shapes the rest. From June through September, Davis regularly tops 100°F for weeks, and central AC systems run nearly continuously. That constant airflow deposits more particulate matter per season than our coastal neighbors see all year. Then come October’s rice-straw burns in Yolo County just outside the city limits. We know the resulting residue well: a dark, sooty film inside supply ducts of homes south and west of town, closest to the rice fields, where owners ran the HVAC during burn windows. It’s not a generic dust problem; it’s a specific Yolo County signature we recognize and remove.
Our Main Davis Services
Davis homeowners call us for two things more than anything else: cleaning the ductwork that moves heated and cooled air through the house, and clearing the dryer vent line that carries lint safely outdoors. Each service has its own Davis page with pricing, process, and photos.
Air Duct Cleaning in Davis
Most Davis homes need a heavier clean than a typical Sacramento job because agricultural dust settles into supply and return ducting during harvest season, then gets baked in place by long summers of continuous AC use. We run professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro agitation and extraction equipment through every register and return, pulling out crop chaff, pet dander, drywall dust from decades of remodels, and the smoke-stained buildup left by fall field burns. Each job begins with a written price for the whole system, and includes shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit. Full detail is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Davis page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Davis
Dryers in older Davis homes often vent through long, multi-turn ducts to reach an outside wall, and lint builds faster than most homeowners expect. In student rentals especially, where dryers run constantly for months, we find vent lines packed near the exterior termination point, which slows drying and creates a genuine fire risk. The Dryer Vent Cleaning in Davis page covers what a typical vent job involves in this housing stock, how long it takes, and what a before-and-after photo of your own line will show.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Davis
Plan on about half a day for a standard single-family home in Davis. Older systems with forty to fifty year old flexible ducting or heavy agricultural buildup take longer, usually four to six hours. We protect floors with drop cloths and shoe covers for the full time we are inside.
For single-family owner-occupied homes, no. Renters should confirm with their property manager first since the owner usually pays for duct work. Condo or planned community residents can check their HOA’s maintenance rules, but interior system cleaning rarely requires board sign-off. Call (323) 918-4345 and we can scope it for your situation.
Yes. Many of our Davis calls come during August and September turnover, and we are used to working within a landlord’s or tenant’s narrow window. Let us know the date constraints when you call, and we will build the visit around them.
If your Davis house still smells like last fall’s rice burn every time the AC kicks on, call (323) 918-4345 for a written quote on your specific system. We’ll tell you the price before the van is even loaded.

What Davis 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."
