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 Del Mar, CA
Full-system air duct cleaning in Del Mar typically runs $450 – $850 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in one visit. Del Mar’s coastal climate and custom-built housing stock make this work different from inland markets: salt-laden marine fog pushes corrosive aerosol deep into ductwork, while bespoke systems hidden behind architectural soffits demand specialized access and professional-grade rotary brush equipment. We dispatch crews from our Los Angeles office who serve Del Mar regularly and understand these local conditions. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Del Mar Homes Are Different
Del Mar sits right on the Pacific, and that proximity changes everything about how we approach duct cleaning here. The cool, damp marine layer rolls in most mornings, carrying fine salt aerosol and sand that settles into HVAC returns along streets like Camino Del Mar and the bluff-top homes west of it. We’ve pulled intake covers in Del Mar that were filmed with visible salt residue after a single foggy night.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Most Del Mar homes are upscale single-family builds from the 1970s through 2000s, many custom-designed with duct runs tucked into unconditioned attics, crawlspaces, and architectural soffits rather than standard basements. That means no two systems are alike, access panels can be hidden behind finished carpentry, and crews need patience plus the right tools to navigate tight chases without damaging high-end finishes. The salty air also accelerates corrosion in metal ductwork, particularly in crawlspace runs where moisture lingers. Inland crews who don’t see this regularly often miss it entirely.
Our Main Del Mar Services
Del Mar homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated local page:
Air Duct Cleaning in Del Mar
Our full-system cleaning uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract buildup from every accessible run. In Del Mar, we pay particular attention to salt film and mold-prone areas in unconditioned crawlspaces where the marine layer keeps humidity elevated year-round. Every job starts with a written price that doesn’t change. Air Duct Cleaning in Del Mar
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Del Mar
Dryer vent blockages are a fire hazard and efficiency killer, especially in Del Mar homes where exterior vent caps can accumulate salt crust that traps lint. We clean the full run from appliance to termination, verify airflow with a meter, and leave the written results with you. No per-foot pricing, no surprises. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Del Mar
Duct Sealing in Del Mar
Leaky ducts waste conditioned air and pull in crawlspace dust and salt-laden air. We seal accessible joints with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test to verify results. In Del Mar’s custom homes with complex soffit runs, sealing often delivers more comfort improvement than equipment upgrades. Duct Sealing in Del Mar
