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 Diamond Springs, CA
Air duct cleaning in Diamond Springs runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-system home, with smoke-odor and ash remediation jobs pushing toward the higher end after foothill wildfire events. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to Diamond Springs from our Sacramento office to handle the specific problems this terrain creates: original galvanized ductwork pulling in wildfire smoke, oak and pine pollen loading up returns each spring, and flex duct in rural tract homes chewed open by rodents. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Diamond Springs Homes Are Different
Diamond Springs sits where the Sierra Nevada foothills meet El Dorado County’s historic gold country, and that geography shapes every duct system we open. The deep housing stock along Highway 49 includes mid-century homes with exposed, unsealed galvanized duct runs in crawlspaces and attics – metal that pulls in exterior air through every seam when wildfire smoke settles in the valleys. After the Caldor Fire and other nearby events, we’ve found fine ash packed into return plenums that homeowners didn’t know were breathing outside air.
The 1970s-through-1990s rural tract and custom homes bring a different problem: flex duct, poorly sealed at the plenum, with insulation that rodents tunnel through for nesting material. Hot, dry summers bake that flex until it brittle-cracks; spring oak and fall pine pollen then load the system while the homeowner runs the fan. We don’t see the flat, dust-only jobs common in Sacramento Valley cities. Diamond Springs work is seasonal, weather-driven, and usually involves both mechanical cleaning and sealing to solve the root problem.
Our Main Diamond Springs Services
Most Diamond Springs homeowners call us for one of three jobs, each with its own page and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Diamond Springs
We clean supply and return ductwork with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling debris toward the vacuum rather than pushing it into the house. In Diamond Springs, this means agitating ash and pollen out of galvanized mains and flex branch lines, then extracting with HEPA filtration. Smoke-odor jobs get an additional deodorizing pass. Air Duct Cleaning in Diamond Springs covers full pricing and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Diamond Springs
Dryer vent blockages in foothill homes often involve longer exterior runs through crawlspaces or roof jacks, with lint compacted by the dry heat that bakes it hard. We run brushes and high-velocity air through the full line, check the exterior cap for rodent obstruction, and verify airflow with a meter. Longer runs and buried terminations are common here. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Diamond Springs has the details.
Duct Sealing in Diamond Springs
Unsealed galvanized plenums and flex duct connections leak conditioned air into attics and crawlspaces year-round, but they also pull in wildfire smoke, pollen, and rodent droppings when the system cycles. We seal accessible seams with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then test pressure balance. For homes near recent burn scars, this is often the most important part of the job. Duct Sealing in Diamond Springs explains our process.
