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 East Foothills, CA
East Foothills homeowners deal with a duct problem the flatland parts of Santa Clara County rarely see: wildfire smoke and fine ash infiltration that turns filters black within weeks and settles deep in overhead duct runs. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we clean, seal, and restore duct systems across the Diablo Range foothills with equipment built for smoke-ash remediation, not just routine dust removal. Our crews are dispatched from the San Francisco Bay Area office and serve East Foothills directly. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why East Foothills Homes Are Different
The housing stock here is mostly 1950s to 1970s ranch construction along foothill roads like Aborn Road and White Road, many on slabs or raised foundations with original galvanized steel or early flex ductwork. Those long, low-ceilinged runs and DIY add-ons create awkward overhead spans where ash and PM2.5 collect in ways modern tight-duct homes simply don’t experience.
The climate creates two distinct loading seasons. Summer and fall bring wildfire smoke intrusions from the Diablo Range and Santa Clara Valley, while winter temperature inversions trap wood-smoke and valley pollution against the hills. After major fire events like the SCU Lightning Complex, we’ve found East Foothills returns coated with fine ash that standard blow-and-go cleanings leave behind. Milpitas and Santa Clara don’t see this pattern. That means every job here requires negative-air extraction and rotary brush agitation that can dislodge adhered particulate, followed by visual documentation homeowners can verify.
Our Main East Foothills Services
East Foothills homeowners call us most often for these three jobs, each handled with The Garrison Standard: written price before work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every visit.
Air Duct Cleaning in East Foothills
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract smoke ash, construction debris, and settled particulate from the older duct runs common in foothill ranch homes. The rotary brush scrubs the duct walls while negative suction pulls loosened material out of your system, not deeper into it. After red-flag fire events, we document before-and-after photos of blackened filters and returns so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in East Foothills is priced by the system, not by the vent, with a written quote before we start.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in East Foothills
Dryer vents in foothill homes often run longer distances through slab or raised-foundation configurations, with more elbows and horizontal spans where lint accumulates. We clean the full run from appliance to termination with rotary tools and airflow verification, not just a shop vac at the exterior. Blocked dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires, and the dry Santa Clara County summers make this a maintenance item worth scheduling on a clear calendar. Dryer Vent Cleaning in East Foothills includes written airflow readings before and after.
Duct Sealing in East Foothills
Original galvanized and early flex ductwork in East Foothills ranch homes leaks at seams, junctions, and where DIY add-ons connect to the main trunk. We seal accessible ductwork with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then test for leakage reduction. Sealing matters especially here because smoke and ash enter through gaps during pressure events, and heated or cooled air escapes into unconditioned crawl spaces and attics. Duct Sealing in East Foothills is priced per system with a written guarantee of measurable improvement.
