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 Broadmoor, CA
Air duct cleaning in Broadmoor has more to do with the marine layer than anything happening inside your furnace. This unincorporated community sits directly in the Peninsula’s coastal fog belt, where cool, damp air rolls in off the Pacific most days of the year. That persistent moisture works its way into the aging post-WWII ductwork found in most Broadmoor homes, and the result is a specific set of problems we see here more than almost anywhere else in the Bay Area. We’re Linden Air Duct Cleaning, and we provide three services in Broadmoor: air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and air duct repair. Call us at (980) 447-2498 and a live person answers, any time day or night.
Why Broadmoor Homes Are Different
Broadmoor’s housing stock is almost entirely tract construction from the 1940s and 1950s, built quickly for returning veterans and working-class families. Those homes shipped with sheet-metal ducts that many homeowners have never replaced. The original duct runs are now 70 to 80 years old, and the flex connections have deteriorated, the insulation has thinned, and the joints have loosened. What that means in practice: your system is pulling air through gaps and leaks, and whatever is in your crawl space or attic is getting into the air you breathe.
Then there’s the fog. Broadmoor’s microclimate is dominated by the marine layer, which keeps ambient humidity elevated even in July and August. Cold duct surfaces in unconditioned crawl spaces attract condensation every time the furnace cycles. That moisture mixes with accumulated dust and creates exactly the conditions where mold and mildew colonize inside supply and return lines. We regularly find visible surface mold near register boots in Broadmoor homes, and it’s not from a plumbing leak or roof damage. It’s from living inside a natural humidifier. Homes just a few miles inland toward San Bruno or San Mateo don’t face this the same way because the fog burns off more regularly. Broadmoor is different, and the work has to account for that.
Our Main Broadmoor Services
The three calls we get most from Broadmoor homeowners are for full air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and duct repair. Each job is different enough that we’ve given it its own page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Broadmoor
In Broadmoor, air duct cleaning is less about dust and more about moisture. We run negative-pressure extraction through the entire supply and return system, removing the accumulated debris that the fog-belt humidity has essentially glued to the duct walls. Because many Broadmoor homes still run original 1940s and 1950s sheet metal, we inspect each run for loose joints and deteriorating flex connections before cleaning begins. You’ll see before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not a stock image. Full details are on our Air Duct Cleaning in Broadmoor page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Broadmoor
Dryer vents in Broadmoor clog faster than average, and the reason is the same persistent humidity. Lint that would normally blow through a vent instead sticks to the interior walls, layer after layer, until the vent narrows to a fraction of its original diameter. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination point, and we check the lint trap bypass for blockages. For Broadmoor homeowners with older homes, we also look for the original foil or plastic vent runs that should have been replaced with rigid metal years ago. Read the full breakdown at Dryer Vent Cleaning in Broadmoor.
Air Duct Repair in Broadmoor
When we open a Broadmoor duct system, we often find the original flex connections have crumbled. The sheet metal itself may be intact, but the joints and boots have separated enough to pull air from the crawl space. We repair or replace those connections, seal the joints, and restore the negative-pressure integrity of the system. Every repair we perform in Broadmoor comes with a written guarantee, and if a covered repair doesn’t hold, we come back at no charge. The specifics are on our Air Duct Repair in Broadmoor page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Broadmoor, CA
Here’s what Broadmoor homeowners can expect to pay, based on the work typically involved in this area’s housing stock. These are whole-system ranges, not per-vent teaser prices:
| Service | Typical Range in Broadmoor |
|---|---|
| Air Duct Cleaning (whole home, up to 10 vents) | $295 – $495 |
| Air Duct Cleaning (larger homes, 11 – 20 vents) | $450 – $700 |
| Air Duct Cleaning (very large homes, 20+ vents) | $650 – $950 |
| Dryer Vent Cleaning (single vent, accessible) | $89 – $149 |
| Dryer Vent Cleaning (long or roof-terminated run) | $149 – $249 |
| Air Duct Repair (minor sealing, single joint or boot) | $150 – $300 |
| Air Duct Repair (flex connection replacement, per run) | $200 – $400 |
| Air Duct Repair (significant ductwork replacement, per section) | $400 – $900 |
Broadmoor’s fog-driven moisture means we sometimes find biological growth that calls for additional treatment, and that can push a job toward the higher end of the range. Homes with original 1940s ductwork may also need more repair work than a newer system. Whatever the number is, you’ll see it in writing before any work begins.

No, air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning don’t require permits in Broadmoor or anywhere in San Mateo County. Duct repair typically doesn’t either, since it’s considered maintenance rather than new construction. If your home has an HOA, the only common restriction is exterior vent termination changes, which we can walk you through before starting.
Often, yes. When ducts have been in place since the 1940s or 1950s, the flex connections have usually degraded and the joints have loosened, which means the cleaning itself is only half the picture. We’ll inspect as we go, tell you what we find, and give you a written price for any needed repairs before we do them.

What Broadmoor 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."
