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 San Gabriel, CA
Air duct cleaning in San Gabriel typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The city’s mid-century housing stock and valley smog conditions make this work different from coastal LA, where newer ductwork and cleaner outdoor air mean less contamination. We serve San Gabriel homeowners with written prices before any work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backed by the Garrison Partners family. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why San Gabriel Homes Are Different
San Gabriel sits in the San Gabriel Valley’s smog trap, where temperature inversions press airborne particulate matter against the San Gabriel Mountains and trap it there for days. That same outdoor air gets pulled into leaky duct systems and circulated through living rooms and bedrooms.
Most San Gabriel homes were built between the 1920s and 1960s, small bungalows, Spanish-revival ranches, and post-war tract homes with original ductwork still in place. The galvanized steel or early flex duct installed in these decades was rarely insulated and almost never sealed to modern standards. In the Mission District and near Valley Boulevard, we still encounter original octopus gravity furnaces with asbestos-wrapped ducts. Our technicians test for asbestos before any cleaning or disturbance, a step that newer Inland Empire suburbs rarely require.
The hot, dry summers crack and degrade what sealing material does exist, while winter rains let moisture into crawl spaces where uninsulated ducts rust and disconnect. Pollen, dust, and the valley’s persistent particulate matter accumulate for decades in systems that were never designed to be cleaned. This combination, old metal, poor sealing, and polluted outdoor air, means San Gabriel ductwork carries a heavier debris load and more outdoor contaminants than equivalent systems in cleaner, newer markets.
Our Main San Gabriel Services
San Gabriel homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated page and local pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Gabriel
We clean the full supply and return network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system or Nikro negative-air machine, depending on duct material and contamination level. In San Gabriel, we often pull out decades of compacted dust, pollen, and fine particulate that settled during the valley’s smog season. The rotary brush scrubs the duct walls while vacuum extraction removes the debris, a method that works particularly well on the uninsulated galvanized steel common in local ranch homes.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Gabriel
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup from the duct running between your dryer and exterior wall cap. In San Gabriel’s older homes, we frequently find vents routed through long horizontal runs in crawl spaces or attics, configurations that trap lint and create genuine fire hazards. We clean the full run with rotary brushes and inspect the termination point for proper airflow. Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Gabriel
Duct Sealing in San Gabriel
Duct sealing closes the leaks and gaps that pull unfiltered outdoor air into your system. For San Gabriel’s original 1950s-60s ductwork, this is often the most impactful single improvement, stopping the intake of valley smog and pollen at the source. We apply duct sealing mastic to joints and connections, then test with a pressure gauge to verify the seal holds. Duct Sealing in San Gabriel
