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 Yosemite Lakes, CA
Air duct cleaning in Yosemite Lakes runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs completed in one visit. What makes this foothill community different from valley cities is the wildfire factor: smoke residue and fine ash infiltration are recurring problems here, not just dust and pollen. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews handle the specific challenges of Sierra foothill HVAC systems. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Yosemite Lakes Homes Are Different
Yosemite Lakes sits in Madera County’s ember zone, where wildfire season stretches from May through October and smoke plumes from fires miles away still find their way into duct returns. After the 2017 Railroad Fire, we started finding fine grey ash coating blower compartments and interior duct walls in homes that were never near the flame front. Homeowners here often call us thinking their HVAC unit has failed when it’s actually contaminated ductwork pushing smoky odor through every vent.
The housing stock reinforces the problem. Most homes were built between the 1970s and 1990s, rural ranch-style and custom builds on large lots, many still running original rigid metal or flex duct systems that have never been cleaned. These older ducts weren’t designed for modern filtration, and the gaps and seams that develop over decades let in rodents, pollen from surrounding oak and pine woodlands, and the ash that settles during heavy smoke events. Winter inversions can trap it all inside for weeks.
Spring adds a second seasonal load: heavy pollen from the Sierra mixed forest pushes allergen counts high, and when that combines with residual smoke particulate, standard disposable filters simply aren’t enough. The work here isn’t a routine vacuum job. It requires equipment that can agitate and extract fine particulate without damaging aging ductwork.
Our Main Yosemite Lakes Services
These are the three services Yosemite Lakes homeowners call us about most, each with its own dedicated page and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Yosemite Lakes
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and negative-air extraction, pulling ash, pollen, and settled debris from duct walls without tearing aging flex lines. In Yosemite Lakes, we pay special attention to blower compartment contamination and filter rack sealing, since smoke infiltration often concentrates there. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Yosemite Lakes
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Yosemite Lakes
Dryer vent blockages are a genuine fire hazard, especially in rural homes where vent runs can exceed 25 feet through crawlspaces or attic chases. We clear the full run with rotary tools and airflow verification, not just a shop vac at the exterior hood. In this area, we also check for rodent nesting in exterior terminations, a common problem on large wooded lots. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Yosemite Lakes
Duct Sealing in Yosemite Lakes
Sealing returns and supply leaks with mastic and metal-backed tape stops the infiltration that pulls wildfire smoke and attic dust into living spaces. For Yosemite Lakes homes with original ductwork, this is often the most cost-effective air quality improvement available. We test leakage before and after, with written results.
