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 French Valley, CA
Air duct cleaning in French Valley typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The combination of original flex-duct systems from the 2000s build-out and Santa Ana wind-driven dust makes this market different from neighboring cities, and crews need to know how to work with both. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our technicians serve French Valley with the same Rotobrush and Nikro equipment we use on commercial jobs, priced in writing before we start. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why French Valley Homes Are Different
French Valley’s housing stock is unusual: nearly everything went up between 2000 and 2015, which means we’re working with a single generation of original flex-duct systems and builder-grade galvanized trunk lines now entering their first major service cycle. These flex ducts don’t fail dramatically; they sag at splices, pull loose at boots, and develop pinhole leaks that homeowners notice as uneven temperatures or rising power bills long before they think to check the attic.
The climate here makes it worse. Summers routinely exceed 100°F, so HVAC systems run almost year-round, accelerating dust accumulation and putting constant stress on every connection. Then the Santa Ana winds arrive, driving fine silica dust from surrounding construction and open land straight into return-air intakes. Standard filters don’t catch it. We’ve opened return-air chases in tract homes near Pourroy Road and found the grille positioned directly below the attic access, pulling insulation fibers and attic dust every time the system cycles. Technicians who don’t seal that hatch first end up cleaning duct runs that are recontaminating themselves before the van leaves the driveway.
Our Main French Valley Services
Most calls we get from French Valley homeowners fall into three categories. Each has its own page with full details on what the job covers, how we price it, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in French Valley
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and negative-air extraction from Nikro machines, pulling dislodged debris out of the home rather than pushing it deeper into the system. In French Valley, we pay particular attention to return-air chases that draw from hallway ceiling grilles near attic hatches, since those are common entry points for wind-blown dust. Every job gets a written price before we touch anything and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in French Valley
Dryer Vent Cleaning in French Valley
Dryer vent cleaning here runs into two local problems: longer vent runs common in 2000s-era floor plans, and lint that packs tight in corrugated transition ducts that builders installed to save money. We pull the full run with rotary brushes and high-velocity air, then inspect the exterior termination for proper flap operation. Blocked dryer vents are a genuine fire hazard, and we flag any run that needs rerouting rather than just cleaning. Dryer Vent Cleaning in French Valley
Duct Sealing in French Valley
Duct sealing addresses the leaks that flex-duct systems develop at splices and boots after fifteen to twenty years of thermal cycling. We apply mastic sealant and mechanical supports at accessible points, then pressure-test the system to verify results. In French Valley’s climate, even modest leakage forces your HVAC to run longer to hold temperature, so the efficiency payback here is faster than in milder zones. Duct Sealing in French Valley
