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 Santa Rosa, CA
Air duct cleaning in Santa Rosa costs between $480 and $950 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and how much fire-season particulate has settled in the ductwork. We’re Linden Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our entire approach around one simple idea: you should know exactly who’s coming to your door and exactly what the job will cost before you commit to anything. Santa Rosa homes present unique challenges because of the 2017 Tubbs Fire and the annual North Bay smoke events that load duct systems with residue no ordinary dusting routine will ever touch. Call our team at (980) 447-2498 for a straight answer about your home.
Why Santa Rosa Homes Are Different
The defining fact about air duct work in Santa Rosa is the fire history. The 2017 Tubbs Fire burned directly through residential neighborhoods like Coffey Park and Fountaingrove, and thousands of surviving homes ran their HVAC systems during and after the firestorm. That pulled toxic smoke, ash, and combustion particles deep into ductwork, where it remains in homes that were never professionally cleaned afterward. The 2019 Kincade Fire and recurring North Bay smoke events have layered more particulate on top of that original contamination.
Santa Rosa’s geography compounds the problem. The city sits in a topographic bowl formed by the Sonoma Mountains and Mayacamas Range, which traps wildfire smoke for days at a time. AQI readings above 150 are routine during fire season, which means residents seal their homes and recirculate air heavily through HVAC systems. That accelerates particulate loading in ducts far faster than what homeowners in coastal cities with better smoke dispersion ever experience.
The housing stock adds another layer. Pre-WWII craftsman bungalows along the Railroad Square corridor and the dense 1950s – 1970s tract homes in Rincon Valley, Bennett Valley, and Roseland often retain original galvanized or early flex-duct systems. These older ducts are harder to clean and more prone to holding fire-season particulate than the sealed systems in the post-Tubbs rebuild homes. If your home sits on the burn perimeter, there’s a good chance your ducts carry residue that has never been addressed.
Our Main Santa Rosa Services
Santa Rosa homeowners call us most about three jobs: full air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and air duct repair. Each service has its own Santa Rosa page with the full detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Rosa
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Santa Rosa typically runs $480 to $950. We use negative-pressure extraction with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, which pulls the fire-season particulate, construction debris, and ordinary household dust out rather than blowing it around your living space. Homes along the Tubbs Fire perimeter – the surviving edges of Coffey Park, the Wikiup Drive corridor, and the Mark West Springs Road area – routinely show a dark, oily soot residue with a persistent acrid smell that’s immediately recognizable as fire-event contamination. Technicians have opened duct panels in these neighborhoods and found residue that has nothing to do with ordinary dust. Full detail is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Santa Rosa page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Rosa
Dryer vent cleaning in Santa Rosa runs $120 to $250. It’s the clogs that create the danger: lint bypasses the trap, packs into the run, and turns a routine laundry cycle into a fire risk. Older Santa Rosa homes with long, multi-elbow vent runs through crawl spaces or attics clog faster, and with the dry fire-season air, the stakes are higher. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination point, confirm airflow at the exit, and show you before-and-after photos. Full detail is on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Santa Rosa page.
Air Duct Repair in Santa Rosa
Air duct repair in Santa Rosa runs $190 to $600, depending on the scope. Duct runs in crawl spaces and attics take damage from rodents, settling, and years of thermal expansion. Loose or disconnected segments pull dusty, musty crawl-space air into the home, and they waste energy: the furnace or AC runs longer to compensate for leakage. We repair crushed or disconnected runs, replace failing sections, and seal leaks, and every repair carries a written guarantee with a free second visit if the repair fails. Full detail is on the Air Duct Repair in Santa Rosa page.

What Santa Rosa Customers Say
"Thorough job on all eleven vents and the main trunk. Took longer than the three hours they quoted, but he told me early and kept working. Air feels fresher."
- Meredith L."Tech arrived with a badge and a printed sheet of what he'd be doing. Ran a camera through the main trunk before and after so I could see the dust difference. Vents smell cleaner already."
- Gina R."Priced by the system, not by the vent, and he told me up front. No pressure to add the sanitizer and I said no without any fuss."
- Faith N.
