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 Camino Tassajara, CA
Air duct cleaning in Camino Tassajara runs $450 – $850 for most whole-home systems, with dryer vent cleaning at $150 – $275 and duct sealing at $800 – $1,800 depending on system size and accessibility. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our Camino Tassajara crews work almost exclusively in large 1990s-2000s executive homes with flex duct buried in conditioned attics, where the real problem isn’t desert grit but construction debris, biological growth, and wildfire ash that settles into low spots and hardens when winter moisture hits. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Camino Tassajara Homes Are Different
Camino Tassajara sits in the Tassajara Valley, a Diablo Range microclimate that punishes HVAC systems year-round. Summer temperatures routinely climb to 95 – 105°F, forcing air conditioners to pull maximum volume through ductwork for months straight. Winter brings cool, fog-influenced nights and damp mornings that create condensation inside sealed attic systems. That combination, specific to this valley, turns ordinary dust into something more stubborn.
Nearly every house here is a 2,500 – 4,500 square foot two-story single-family home built between 1990 and 2010, part of planned subdivisions like Tassajara Creek and The Estates. These were built to California Title 24 energy standards, meaning tight envelopes and flex duct runs through conditioned attics. The design saves energy but traps debris. We’ve found that wildfire ash from Diablo Range fires settles into the low points of attic ductwork during dry season. When the first winter storm system arrives, that ash turns into a paste that smothers return-air grilles, a pattern you simply don’t see in the flatter, windier East Bay.
Builder-grade flex duct, common in these subdivisions, also degrades faster than metal in this climate cycle. The material flexes with thermal expansion, loosening connections and creating leaks that pull attic air into the system. Cleaning without inspecting for those leaks is half a job.
Our Main Camino Tassajara Services
Most Camino Tassajara homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full detail on equipment, process, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Camino Tassajara
Our rotary brush system, powered by Rotobrush equipment, agitates debris loose from flex duct walls while a negative-air machine from Nikro pulls it out of the system entirely. In Camino Tassajara’s conditioned attics, we pay special attention to the low spots where ash and pollen collect, and we inspect every return grille for that paste buildup our techs see every winter. We run the full system before we leave to confirm airflow is restored. Air Duct Cleaning in Camino Tassajara
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Camino Tassajara
Dryer vent blockages in Camino Tassajara often trace back to the same fine debris that clogs HVAC systems, plus lint that hardens in the long vent runs typical of two-story homes here. We clean the full line from dryer to exterior termination, check backpressure with a manometer, and verify the exterior cap opens fully under airflow. If your dryer is taking longer than one cycle, the vent is the first place to look. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Camino Tassajara
Duct Sealing in Camino Tassajara
Camino Tassajara’s thermal expansion cycle loosens duct connections over time, pulling unconditioned attic air into the system even when the attic is “conditioned.” We seal accessible joints with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test to confirm the seal holds. For systems with significant leakage, we can apply aerosolized sealant that reaches joints behind drywall chases. The goal is simple: the air you paid to heat or cool should reach the rooms.
