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 Larkspur, CA
Larkspur’s ductwork ages differently than almost anywhere else in Marin. The redwood canopy over Baltimore Canyon and Madrone Canyon holds marine fog well into the afternoon, and that damp air makes its way into crawl spaces, return plenums, and eventually the ducts themselves. You’re not just cleaning dust here – you’re dealing with redwood duff, organic debris, and mold colonization that thrives in this specific microclimate. At Linden Air Duct Cleaning, we approach every Larkspur job with that reality in mind. Call (980) 447-2498 to talk through what’s happening in your home.
Why Larkspur Homes Are Different
Old Town Larkspur holds some of Marin’s oldest housing stock – Victorian-era and early Craftsman bungalows from the 1900s through the 1930s. Many of these homes had gravity furnaces originally, then got forced-air systems retrofitted decades ago. The result is oversized, irregularly routed duct runs that collect debris at a rate newer homes simply don’t see. In the canyon neighborhoods, homes sit on steep, shaded lots where damp crawl spaces accelerate flex duct deterioration. We regularly pull material from Larkspur return plenums that we almost never see in Corte Madera or San Rafael: redwood duff, fine organic matter, and active mold colonies dragged in through leaky crawl-space connections. The marine layer funnels into those canyons and lingers through midday even in summer, keeping interior humidity high enough that duct interiors stay damp for months at a stretch.
Our Main Larkspur Services
Most Larkspur homeowners reach out about two things: air that’s carrying musty smells from mold growth inside the ducts, and dryer vents that have become clogged with lint and redwood debris. Here’s how we handle each, with a direct link to its own Larkspur page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Larkspur
Negative-pressure extraction is the core of what we do – we place the system under vacuum and agitate the duct interior to pull out debris rather than blowing it around your living space. In Larkspur, this process matters more because of what’s actually inside the ducts: redwood duff, mold spores, and fine organic matter that accumulates faster under the fog canopy. We cover every duct run, clean the return plenums, and document the work with photos. See the full breakdown on the Air Duct Cleaning in Larkspur page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Larkspur
Dryer vents in canyon homes often run long distances to reach an exterior wall, and in steep-side houses that means more bends, more lint traps, and more places for redwood duff to accumulate. A clogged dryer vent is a fire hazard, full stop. We clean the entire run from the dryer to the exterior termination, using equipment that breaks through the compacted lint layer without damaging the vent itself. Full details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Larkspur page.
Air Duct Repair in Larkspur
Damp crawl spaces in Larkspur mean flex duct fails faster here. Seams separate, insulation gets saturated, and rodents sometimes find their way into the softer material. When we find damage during a cleaning, we can repair it – and every repair comes with a written guarantee and a free second visit if it doesn’t hold. If you already know you have a problem, start with the Air Duct Repair in Larkspur page for specifics on what we fix and how we verify the work.

What Larkspur 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."
