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 Ramon, CA
Air duct cleaning in San Ramon typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What separates San Ramon from other East Bay markets is the housing stock: master-planned communities like Gale Ranch and Windemere built from the 1980s through the 2000s with tightly sealed envelopes and flexible ductwork in unconditioned attics that traps debris differently than older, leakier systems. The San Ramon Valley’s inversion layer also means dust and allergens from surrounding hills settle into these systems seasonally. If you’re ready to schedule, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why San Ramon Homes Are Different
San Ramon’s master-planned communities were built for energy efficiency. That tight construction keeps conditioned air in, but it also keeps recirculated dust, pollen, and construction debris in the loop for years. In Gale Ranch and Windemere, we regularly find original flexible ductwork from the 1990s and early 2000s still in place, sagging in attic heat and collecting debris where the ridges trap particles.
The climate here drives hard use. HVAC systems run heavily from May through October, pulling in dust from nearby open space and ongoing construction. When the Diablo winds blow in fall, homes near Las Trampas Ridge often see ducts clogged with fine ash and wildfire smoke residue. That debris requires HEPA vacuuming and often reveals gaps that need sealing, not just cleaning.
There’s also the regulatory layer. The Bishop Ranch area’s 2008 California EPA “green” business district designation raised the bar for indoor air quality standards in commercial spaces nearby, and that expectation has carried into residential property management here. HOAs in communities like Canyon Lakes and Crow Canyon often require documentation of work completed, which we provide on every job.
Our Main San Ramon Services
San Ramon homeowners call us most often for these three services. Each has its own page with full details on what’s included, how we price it, and what local conditions affect the work.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Ramon
We clean the full supply and return duct network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for agitation and a Nikro negative-air machine to pull loosened debris out of your home entirely. In San Ramon, we pay particular attention to flexible ductwork in unconditioned attics, where summer heat can degrade connections and create debris traps. We also document before-and-after conditions with photos for HOA or property management requirements. Air Duct Cleaning in San Ramon
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Ramon
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup from the transition duct, wall run, and exterior termination. In San Ramon’s multi-story homes in Gale Ranch and Windemere, long vent runs with multiple elbows are common and require rotary cleaning tools to reach the full length. We verify airflow at the termination and check for proper clearance to combustibles per California building code. Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Ramon
Duct Sealing in San Ramon
Duct sealing closes leaks in the supply and return plenums, trunk lines, and branch runs using mastic and specialized tape rated for temperature cycling. San Ramon’s flexible ductwork in hot attics is particularly prone to seam separation and connection gaps. We pressurize the system to measure leakage before and after, with results documented in writing. Duct Sealing in San Ramon
