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.

Why Clayton Homes Are Different
Clayton sits in a Diablo Valley wind corridor where hot, dry summers and occasional strong Diablo winds pull a unique cocktail of contaminants into residential HVAC systems. The housing stock here is mostly single-family homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s, many with original flexible ductwork in attics that has developed kinks, tears, and debris buildup over decades. The older ranches near downtown and the 1980s – 2000s subdivisions throughout the city share a common problem: poorly sealed attic runs that trap fine clay particles alongside oak pollen and wildfire ash.
After the first fall rain, we regularly get calls from Clayton’s older subdivisions about musty odors releasing from duct systems. The accumulated dust and pollen that sat dry all summer gets damp, and homeowners notice it immediately. Our technicians check attic duct runs near roof vents for microbial growth when we see this pattern. The clay soil composition here also means finer particulate matter than in neighboring cities, which requires rotary brush systems and negative-air extraction rather than basic vacuum methods.
Our Main Clayton Services
Clayton homeowners call us most often for these three services, each handled with The Garrison Standard of written pricing and uniformed, background-checked technicians.
Air Duct Cleaning in Clayton
We clean full duct systems in Clayton using Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with Nikro negative-air machines to extract the fine clay dust and wildfire ash that settles in local ductwork. Most jobs take 3 – 5 hours for a standard home, with before-and-after photos provided so you see what came out of your system. We pay special attention to attic flexible duct runs, which in Clayton’s 1970s – 2000s housing stock are prone to kinks that trap debris. Air Duct Cleaning in Clayton
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clayton
Dryer vent cleaning in Clayton addresses lint buildup compounded by the area’s dusty conditions and older home configurations where vents run through attics or extended exterior walls. We clear the full run from dryer to termination, check for proper airflow, and inspect for damage that could create fire hazards. Homes in Clayton’s original ranch neighborhoods often have longer vent runs that require specialized rotary tools. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clayton
Duct Sealing in Clayton
Duct sealing in Clayton targets the leaky flexible ductwork and poorly sealed connections common in homes built from the 1980s through the 2000s. We apply mastic sealant and mechanical fasteners to close gaps that waste conditioned air and pull attic dust into living spaces. Sealed ducts typically improve airflow and reduce the dust load on your HVAC filter in Clayton’s high-particulate environment. Duct Sealing in Clayton
