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 Arcadia, CA
Air duct cleaning in Arcadia typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The city’s mix of 1950s ranch homes and 1970s two-story tracts, combined with dust from the San Gabriel Mountains and Santa Ana winds, means Arcadia ducts collect heavier debris than coastal cities. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we price every job in writing before we start, and every cleaning is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Arcadia Homes Are Different
Arcadia sits at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, and that geography changes what we pull out of ducts here. After Santa Ana wind events, we see a spike in calls from Highland Oaks and the neighborhoods near Santa Anita racetrack. Fine mineral ash and windblown soil from the mountains and Santa Anita Wash get drawn into return ducts, layering onto the ordinary household dust that builds up year-round.
The housing stock tells the rest of the story. Much of Arcadia was built between 1950 and 1985, ranch homes first, then two-story tracts. Many still run on original or first-generation ductwork, rigid metal or flex systems with joints that have loosened over decades and insulation that’s begun to crumble. That combination, older ducts plus mountain-borne debris, means Arcadia cleanings often take longer and require more attention to sealing points than comparable homes in flatter, newer suburbs.
The climate adds its own wear. Summer days over 100°F bake dust onto duct walls, making it harder to dislodge. Winter dampness, especially in crawl spaces and attics with degraded insulation, can create conditions for mold if ducts aren’t properly sealed. We see both patterns regularly in Arcadia jobs.
Our Main Arcadia Services
We offer three core services for Arcadia homeowners, each with its own dedicated page and pricing details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Arcadia
Our air duct cleaning uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to remove built-up dust, ash, and debris from supply and return lines. In Arcadia, we pay special attention to return ducts on the north and east sides of homes, where Santa Ana winds drive the heaviest particle loads. Every job gets a written price before we touch equipment, and we photograph the ducts before and after so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Arcadia
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arcadia
Dryer vent cleaning in Arcadia addresses lint buildup that restricts airflow and creates fire risk, especially in homes where the vent run exceeds 15 feet through attic or crawl space. We clear the full line from dryer to termination, check for proper airflow, and note any damage to the vent hood. Arcadia’s older ranch homes often have longer vent runs than modern construction, so we verify the entire path. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arcadia
Duct Sealing in Arcadia
Duct sealing closes leaks at joints, seams, and connections using mastic and professional-grade materials. In Arcadia’s 1960s and 1970s systems, we commonly find disconnected flex duct and failed tape at plenum connections. Sealing stops conditioned air from escaping into attics and crawl spaces, which matters here given the summer cooling load. We test leakage before and after so you see the improvement.
