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 Foothill Farms, CA
Air duct cleaning in Foothill Farms typically costs $300 – $600 for a whole-home system and usually takes 2 – 4 hours, depending on the age of the ductwork and how accessible the returns are. Most homes here were built in the 1950s and 1960s with original gravity furnaces and shallow, uninsulated ducts that collect decades of debris other markets simply don’t see. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews to Foothill Farms from our Sacramento office. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Foothill Farms Homes Are Different
Foothill Farms sits in a shallow valley pocket northeast of Sacramento where summer heat, winter inversions, and Central Valley dust create a perfect storm for dirty ducts. The housing stock is almost entirely single-story ranch-style homes built between 1955 and 1970, many still running original galvanized steel ductwork that was never designed for modern filtration. We’ve crawled through enough subfloor plenums in this area to know what to expect: rodent nests in oversized gravity-furnace returns, acorn caches blocking airflow, and layers of pet dander compacted into joints that have never been opened.
The climate doesn’t give these systems a break. Hot, dry summers mean near-constant AC circulation pulling in pollen and wildfire smoke. Mild, wet winters shift the load to heating. Without a blower to move air aggressively, those original gravity furnaces let debris settle exactly where it lands. When we clean ducts in Foothill Farms, we’re often working with access techniques that newer forced-air systems don’t require. The Garrison Standard means we price this complexity in writing before we touch anything, not after we’ve seen what’s under the house.
Our Main Foothill Farms Services
Most calls we get from Foothill Farms fall into three categories. Each has its own page with detailed pricing and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Foothill Farms
We clean supply and return ducts with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In Foothill Farms, this often means working through floor registers connected to subfloor plenums that haven’t been disturbed in sixty years. We photograph the before condition, clean every accessible run, and show you the after. Air Duct Cleaning in Foothill Farms covers full pricing and what’s included.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Foothill Farms
Dryer vents in older Foothill Farms homes frequently run through walls or crawlspaces with multiple bends, and lint buildup here is a genuine fire hazard. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air to clear the full run from appliance to termination, then test airflow before we leave. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Foothill Farms has the details.
Duct Sealing in Foothill Farms
Original galvanized joints in these homes leak at rates that modern flex duct wouldn’t tolerate. We seal accessible seams with mastic and apply aerosol sealant where appropriate, measured by pre- and post-flow testing. The goal is air that reaches the room, not the crawlspace. Duct Sealing in Foothill Farms explains how we price it.
