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 Gardena, CA
Air duct cleaning in Gardena typically costs between $350 and $650 for a whole-home system, with older homes on the east side near the 110 Freeway often landing at the higher end. That number depends on how many returns the home has, how accessible the main trunk line is, and what’s actually accumulated inside the ducts over the last 60 years. This page is your Gardena overview: what makes our local jobs different, what they cost, and where we work. For a free estimate with a written price before anything starts, call (323) 918-4345.
Why Gardena Homes Are Different
Gardena’s residential core is a dense belt of post-WWII tract homes, most built between 1945 and 1965 and bracketed by the 110 Freeway corridor on the east and South Bay aerospace and light industrial zones to the west near Hawthorne. That geography matters because it means Gardena duct systems collect an unusually heavy fine-particulate load from two directions at once. Freeway diesel exhaust pushes east-to-west through the eastern tracts, and nearby light manufacturing adds a second source on the western edge. The debris we pull from Gardena ducts isn’t the beige household dust you’d expect inland or along the coast. It’s gray-black, fine, and gritty, with the texture of diesel soot. Homeowners rarely connect that to their indoor air until they see it in the collection canister.
Most of the single-family homes here still run original galvanized sheet metal ductwork or early fiberglass duct board. When central AC was retrofitted in the 1980s and 1990s, contractors ran flex duct through unconditioned attic spaces. Over the decades, those attic runs have sagged between joists, separated at the joints, and torn in places, which lets attic air and insulation keep feeding the system even after a cleaning. Gardena sits about 7 to 8 miles inland in the South Bay marine layer zone, so those attic ducts also sit in overnight humidity on a regular basis. That humidity settles into old duct liner, and where liner is torn or degraded, it creates exactly the condition where mold can take hold.
Our Main Gardena Services
Gardena homeowners call us most about two services. Both are handled by the same background-checked, uniformed crew, and both get a written price before any work starts.
Air Duct Cleaning in Gardena
We clean the full duct system: supply and return trunks, branch runs, and register covers. In Gardena, that usually means working around original sheet metal plenums and the flex-duct attic retrofits most of these homes have. We lay down shoe covers and drop cloths from the front door to the furnace closet before equipment comes inside, and we run professional-grade equipment from brands like Rotobrush and Nikro, not rental-grade gear. Because so many Gardena jobs involve 60-year-old duct board, we document the condition of the liner as we go so you know what can be cleaned and what may eventually need replacing. See the full breakdown at Air Duct Cleaning in Gardena.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gardena
Dryer vent cleaning in Gardena means removing the lint that’s packed into the run from the dryer to the exterior vent cap. Many of these post-war homes have short, straight vent runs, but the ones with longer attic or crawlspace runs collect lint faster than homeowners expect. A clogged vent makes the dryer run longer on every load and creates a fire hazard that’s easy to ignore because it’s hidden inside a wall or ceiling. We clean the full run with professional equipment and check the exterior cap so airflow is restored. See the full breakdown at Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gardena.

What Gardena 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."
