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 San Leandro, CA
Air duct cleaning in San Leandro typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with many jobs requiring asbestos testing first due to pre-1978 construction. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews handle the specific challenges of San Leandro’s older housing stock: original galvanized steel ducts, asbestos-wrapped insulation, and the bay fog that keeps moisture sitting in ductwork year-round. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why San Leandro Homes Are Different
San Leandro’s housing tells the story. Early 1900s bungalows sit alongside post-war tract homes and mid-century ranchers, and many still run on original galvanized steel ducts wrapped in asbestos insulation. That combination changes everything about how we approach a job.
In the Estudillo and Broadmoor neighborhoods, we regularly find asbestos fibers that have flaked off deteriorating insulation. State and local regulations require specialized containment and disposal procedures before cleaning can even start. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District enforces strict rules here, so our crews use HEPA-filtered Nikro negative-air machines to prevent any fibers from becoming airborne.
The marine climate adds another layer. San Leandro’s mild temperatures mean furnaces and AC units run less than inland, but the persistent dampness from bay fog creates ideal conditions for mold inside poorly insulated ductwork. We see it most often in older homes where the crawl space or attic lets that moisture straight into the system.
Our Main San Leandro Services
San Leandro homeowners call us for three jobs, each handled with The Garrison Standard: written price first, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every visit.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Leandro
We clean the full supply and return network with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling debris toward the vacuum rather than pushing it into your rooms. In San Leandro, we often start with asbestos testing on pre-1978 homes; if abatement is needed, we coordinate that step before the cleaning begins. Every job gets a written price upfront and before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in San Leandro
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leandro
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and San Leandro’s older homes often have longer vent runs through walls or crawl spaces that trap debris. We clear the full line from dryer to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and check that the exterior vent cap operates correctly. If the vent line is damaged or improperly routed, we’ll show you exactly what we found and quote repair in writing. Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leandro
Duct Sealing in San Leandro
Leaky ducts waste conditioned air and pull in crawl space or attic contaminants. In San Leandro, we seal with mastic compound and metal-backed tape at every joint and seam, then pressure-test to verify the improvement. This matters especially in homes with asbestos-wrapped ducts, where replacement isn’t always practical and a tight seal keeps fibers contained. The price is fixed before we start.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in San Leandro
No permit is required for standard duct cleaning. If your home has asbestos-wrapped ducts and abatement is needed, that work falls under Bay Area Air Quality Management District notification rules, which we handle as part of the job. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home requires.
Most San Leandro appointments are available within three to five business days. Asbestos abatement jobs take longer to schedule due to BAAQMD notification requirements. Our phones are answered by a live person 24/7, so you’ll know the real timeline when you call.
Most San Leandro HOAs do not require approval for interior duct cleaning. If the work involves exterior vent modifications or rooftop access in a condo or townhouse, check your HOA’s maintenance policy. We can provide a written scope of work to submit if needed.
