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 Del Aire, CA
Air duct cleaning in Del Aire runs $280 – $520 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs completed in one afternoon. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve learned that Del Aire homes collect a grime most South Bay crews don’t recognize: fine black soot from LAX approach paths that settles in returns and fools homeowners into thinking it’s ordinary dust. Our crews pull that residue out with Nikro negative-air machines and Rotobrush rotary systems, then show you the before-and-after so you know the work happened. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before anyone touches your system.
Why Del Aire Homes Are Different
Del Aire sits directly under the final approach paths to LAX, so airborne jet exhaust residue, black soot, and ultrafine particulates settle into neighborhood HVAC returns at a rate unlike anywhere else in the South Bay. Our technicians working the east side of Del Aire, closest to the runways, routinely pull gray-black jet-exhaust soot from return plenums. Homeowners often mistake it for ordinary dust until they see how fast it reaccumulates after a standard cleaning.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Del Aire is a compact unincorporated pocket of mostly 1940s-1950s single-story stucco tract homes on raised foundations. Many still run original or lightly-updated forced-air systems with attic flex duct that’s prone to tearing and rodent intrusion. That aged flex, combined with the coastal basin’s marine-layer humidity and onshore breeze carrying aircraft and freeway particulates through open windows, creates a duct environment that’s dry but heavily loaded with abrasive soot rather than mold.
We don’t guess at what’s inside your plenum. We inspect first, explain what we find, and write the price down before the equipment starts.
Our Main Del Aire Services
Most Del Aire homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and local conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Del Aire
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system that loosens adhered soot, followed by Nikro negative-air extraction that pulls debris out of the home entirely. In Del Aire, we pay special attention to return plenums on the east side of the neighborhood where jet-exhaust residue concentrates. We run before-and-after camera views so you see the difference, not just hear about it. Air Duct Cleaning in Del Aire.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Del Aire
Dryer vents in Del Aire’s older stucco tracts often run through long, convoluted paths to exterior walls, with lint compaction worsened by the fine particulates that permeate this area. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, test airflow with a manometer, and verify the exterior damper operates freely. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Del Aire.
Duct Sealing in Del Aire
Del Aire’s original flex duct and aging mastic joints leak conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces, wasting energy and pulling unfiltered air back into the system. We seal accessible joints with duct sealing mastic and metal-backed tape, then pressure-test to verify the seal holds. Duct Sealing in Del Aire.
