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 Arden-Arcade, CA
Air duct cleaning in Arden-Arcade costs between $285 and $540 for a whole-home system, with the price set in writing before any work begins. We’re Linden Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve learned that Arden-Arcade homes present a specific set of duct conditions that other Sacramento suburbs simply don’t. Homes here were mostly built between 1948 and 1975, which means many still run original duct board that has spent 50 to 70 years degrading inside your walls. Call (980) 447-2498 when you’re ready for an honest look at what’s actually in your ducts.
Why Arden-Arcade Homes Are Different
Arden-Arcade was Sacramento County’s first major post-war suburban buildout, and that early construction date shows up in the ductwork. We’re talking single-story ranch homes, mostly, with original fiberglass duct board or early sheet-metal runs that were never designed for modern HVAC loads. Those ducts weren’t built for 100°F summers that keep your system running from June through September, and they weren’t built for the wildfire smoke seasons of 2018 and 2020 that pushed fine particulates deep into returns and supply lines while residents sealed windows for weeks. Then the Valley’s winter tule fog season arrives, so Arden-Arcade systems run hard through two separate high-runtime cycles every year. What we find in these older ducts is fibrous debris from delaminating duct board liners, smoke residue, and the dust of decades. That’s the honest starting point for a cleaning job here.
Our Main Arden-Arcade Services
Three services cover nearly every duct situation Arden-Arcade homes throw at us. Each has its own page with detailed pricing and local conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Arden-Arcade
Full-system cleaning here begins with negative-pressure extraction connected at the plenum, creating a continuous vacuum while we agitate each supply and return run. The older fiberglass duct board in many Arden-Arcade homes requires careful handling – a standard rotary brush can damage already-fragile liners. We inspect before we agitate. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every cleaning job: if the work isn’t right, we return and make it right, in writing, no charge. Air Duct Cleaning in Arden-Arcade
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arden-Arcade
Lint in Arden-Arcade dryer vents is a bigger fire risk than most homeowners realize. Older single-story ranches often route dryer exhaust through long horizontal runs or even the attic, and elbows accumulate lint quickly. Our dryer vent cleaning removes the compressed lint trap bypass, clears the full run to the exterior vent cap, and verifies that the termination is clear and opening properly. A written price comes before any work starts. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arden-Arcade
Air Duct Repair in Arden-Arcade
Some Arden-Arcade systems have deteriorated beyond cleaning. When we find delaminated duct board interiors or crushed flex runs, replacement is the only safe answer. We repair disconnected sections, seal leaking joints with mastic, replace collapsed flex duct, and resupport sagging runs. Every air duct repair job includes our written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails, we return for a free second visit. Air Duct Repair in Arden-Arcade

What Arden-Arcade Customers Say
"We had construction dust packed into every register after a remodel. They sealed off the returns, used negative pressure, and left the floors cleaner than they found them."
- Paul E."I liked that I knew who was coming in. Name and photo texted ahead, badge at the door. He was quiet, careful with the furniture, and thorough."
- Cheryl A."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."
