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 Burlingame, CA
Air duct cleaning in Burlingame typically runs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What sets Burlingame apart is its housing stock, which stretches from pre-war bungalows with original galvanized ductwork to modern Bayfront townhomes with tight flex-duct runs. That mix means we see everything from asbestos-wrapped pipes in Easton Addition to moisture-prone systems near the water. If you’re ready to schedule, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate.
Why Burlingame Homes Are Different
Burlingame sits on the San Francisco Bay, and that marine climate shapes every duct system we open. Cool, moist air rolls in year-round, especially through summer fog and winter rains. In older neighborhoods like Easton Addition and Burlingame Park, ducts often run through unheated crawlspaces that pull in that damp bay air. The result is musty odors and mold spores that blow straight into living rooms, a problem you won’t find in drier inland cities like San Jose or Walnut Creek.
The housing stock itself is equally split by era. Pre-1940s bungalows in Burlingame Park still carry original galvanized steel ducts that corrode internally and trap debris. Many are wrapped in asbestos insulation that requires special handling. On the other end, newer Bayfront and downtown developments use flexible ducting prone to kinks, compression, and buildup in tight chase ways. We adjust our approach for each: rotary brush systems for rigid metal, negative-air machines with gentle suction for fragile flex runs. No two Burlingame jobs are identical.
Our Main Burlingame Services
Most Burlingame homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Burlingame
We clean supply and return ducts, registers, and the main trunk lines using Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines. In Burlingame, we pay special attention to moisture-related biological growth in crawlspace runs, common in Easton Addition and neighborhoods near the Bayfront. Every job starts with a written price and ends with before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Burlingame
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burlingame
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and Burlingame’s older homes often have long vent runs through walls or crawlspaces that are hard to inspect. We pull the full length of duct with professional augers and high-velocity air tools, then verify airflow at the exterior cap. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burlingame
Duct Sealing in Burlingame
Leaky ducts waste 20 – 30% of heated and cooled air, and in Burlingame’s humid climate, leaks also pull in crawlspace moisture and mold spores. We seal joints and seams with mastic and metal-backed tape, then pressure-test the system to confirm results. Duct Sealing in Burlingame
