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 Dublin, CA
Air duct cleaning in Dublin, CA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and should be scheduled every 3 – 5 years, more often after wildfire smoke events or in homes with original flex duct from the 1990s. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning handles the two distinct housing types that define Dublin’s market: post-WWII ranch homes with aging metal ductwork near downtown and the master-planned subdivisions of east Dublin where flexible ducts are buried under blown-in insulation. Our crews carry rotary brush systems for rigid metal, soft-brush tools for delicate flex duct, and inspection cameras to navigate tight attic chases. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Dublin Homes Are Different
Dublin sits at the crossroads of two distinct building eras, and that split changes what we find in every attic and crawlspace.
The mid-century ranch homes clustered near downtown Dublin and along San Ramon Road often still run on original galvanized steel or early flexible ductwork installed in the 1950s – 1970s. These systems weren’t designed for the HVAC load modern families place on them, and the Tri-Valley’s expansive clay soils have shifted slabs over decades, crushing duct runs or pulling joints apart underground. A standard vacuum pass won’t fix a separated trunk line under a slab.
East of Interstate 680, Dublin Ranch and the surrounding planned-unit developments built from the 1980s through the 2000s present the opposite problem. Flex duct from that era is now reaching end of life. The inner liner tears or collapses, and because it’s routed through low-slope attics under R-30 blown-in insulation, homeowners rarely know until a room stops heating or cooling evenly. We inspect with cameras before we clean, because in these neighborhoods we’re often finding damage that requires replacement, not just maintenance.
Dublin’s climate compounds the wear. Summers regularly top 95°F, winters bring rain that drives rodents and insects toward crawlspace vents, and wildfire smoke from the Diablo Range deposits fine ash in return-air systems that standard 1-inch filters cannot catch. Post-smoke duct cleaning has become a recurring call we handle each fire season.
Our Main Dublin Services
Most Dublin homeowners call us for one of three jobs, each handled on its own dedicated page with Dublin-specific pricing and conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Dublin
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Dublin starts with a camera inspection, especially critical in east-side subdivisions where flex duct deterioration hides under insulation. We use Rotobrush rotary systems for rigid metal ducts common in older homes near downtown, and soft-brush air-whip tools for the delicate flex runs in Dublin Ranch and East Dublin. Every job gets a written price before we start and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in Dublin covers full pricing, what the inspection includes, and how we handle post-wildfire-smoke cleanings.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dublin
Dryer vent cleaning in Dublin addresses a genuine fire hazard that builds faster in homes running dryers heavily during hot summer months. We clear lint buildup from the appliance through the exterior termination, inspect for proper airflow, and flag crushed or improperly routed flex hose, common in both older tract homes and newer townhome installations. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dublin has full details on pricing and how we verify the job with before-and-after airflow readings.
Duct Sealing in Dublin
Duct sealing in Dublin targets the separated joints and cracked plenums we find constantly in homes affected by slab movement or aging mastic. We apply professional-grade sealing compounds and, where appropriate, use aerosol-based duct sealing technology to reach leaks buried in walls or attic chases without tearing out drywall. This is often the right follow-up to cleaning when inspection reveals the ducts are dirty because they’re pulling air from the crawlspace. Duct Sealing in Dublin explains when sealing makes sense and how we price it upfront.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Dublin
No permit is required for standard air duct cleaning in Dublin. Duct sealing and any replacement of damaged flex duct typically do not require permits either, though extensive modifications to the HVAC plenum or new duct runs may need review. We flag any job that might trigger permitting before we start and advise accordingly. Call (361) 326-5060 if your project involves more than cleaning or sealing.
We prioritize smoke-related calls during fire season and typically schedule within 2 – 4 business days for Dublin addresses. The fine ash from Diablo Range fires requires HEPA-contained negative-air equipment, not standard residential vacuums, so we confirm our Abatement Technologies rig is on the van before we head out.
Most Dublin HOAs do not restrict interior duct cleaning or sealing. For dryer vent cleaning with rooftop terminations in townhome clusters, we coordinate with property management when exterior roof access is needed. We carry proof of insurance and background-check documentation for any HOA that requests it, and we handle the coordination so you don’t have to manage vendor approval yourself.
