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 Guerneville, CA
Air duct cleaning in Guerneville costs between $380 and $720 for a typical 1,500-square-foot cabin, with flood-damaged systems running higher. What makes this town different from Healdsburg or Windsor is the Russian River: homes here carry silt, river debris, and mold spores inside crawl-space ductwork in patterns you simply don’t see ten miles inland. We approach every Guerneville job with that reality in mind, because standard register-level inspections will miss what the river left behind. Call (980) 447-2498 for a free estimate and a written price before any work begins.
Why Guerneville Homes Are Different
Guerneville’s housing stock is mostly 1920s through 1950s seasonal resort cabins converted into year-round homes. Very few were built with forced-air heating in mind. The ductwork was retrofitted decades later, often run through uninsulated crawl spaces that hold moisture for months at a stretch. That means undersized, leaky duct runs that readily collect silt, mildew, and forest debris. The Russian River canyon compounds the problem: it funnels coastal fog inland and traps it under the redwood canopy, producing over 50 inches of annual rainfall and some of the highest sustained indoor humidity in inland Sonoma County. Dust that would stay dry and harmless in Santa Rosa becomes a breeding surface for mold and dust mites here in a matter of weeks.
The flood history matters too. Guerneville saw major inundation in 1986, 1995, 2017, and 2019, and each event left a signature. Our technicians look for a distinct gray-brown silt line inside low-running flex ducts in crawl-space homes. That’s the watermark from Russian River backwater, and that dried sediment layer frequently conceals active mold colonies that a visual check from the registers alone will never catch. If your home has a crawl space and has ever been near floodwater, that line is the first thing we check. It changes what the job actually requires.
Our Main Guerneville Services
Most Guerneville homeowners reach out to us for one of three jobs: full air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, or repairing ductwork that age and moisture have compromised. Each has its own page on this site with pricing and local details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Guerneville
In Guerneville, air duct cleaning means more than vacuuming registers. The moisture in crawl spaces and under cabins turns ordinary dust into something stickier and more hazardous. We run negative-pressure extraction through the full system, removing the silt, mold, and debris that river humidity accelerates. The redwood-canyon microclimate keeps indoor humidity high enough that mold can colonize ducts even in homes that never flooded. That’s why we document what we remove, so you can see the before and after for yourself. For the full breakdown of this service, see Air Duct Cleaning in Guerneville.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Guerneville
Dryer vents in Guerneville contend with more than lint. Many homes route dryer exhaust through tight, low-clearance crawl spaces where moisture and river silt collect. Lint traps moisture, moisture feeds mold, and a clogged vent becomes both a fire risk and an indoor air problem. We clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior cap, including any lint trap bypass issues caused by older, non-standard vent piping common in converted cabins. Every job includes a written price before work starts. Details are on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Guerneville.
Air Duct Repair in Guerneville
Older Guerneville homes often have ductwork that’s been patched, rerouted, or simply worn through by decades of damp air. Leaks at joints, crushed flex runs under cabins, and rusted sections in crawl spaces are common findings. We repair or replace the damaged sections, seal the system, and verify airflow at every register. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if a covered repair does not hold, we come back at no charge. Our repair commitment is on Air Duct Repair in Guerneville.

What Guerneville Customers Say
"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."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.
