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 Mountain View, CA
Air duct cleaning in Mountain View typically runs between $350 and $650 for a whole-home job, depending on the home’s age and how the ducts were originally installed. You’ll find that pricing at the higher end when the system snakes through the shallow attic cavities of a 1950s Eichler or ranch, where the duct runs were added years after the house was built and were never really designed to be reached. We’re Linden Air Duct Cleaning, led by Marcus Veale, and we’ve spent years working through the specific layouts Mountain View throws at us. Call (980) 447-2498 for a flat, written price before any work starts.
Why Mountain View Homes Are Different
Mountain View sits at the south end of the Bay, and every summer evening the marine layer pulls moisture inland from the coast. That damp air seeps into any duct seam that isn’t sealed tight, and in a home where the ductwork was retrofitted decades ago, hidden mold growth is a real possibility. The Santa Cruz Mountains directly to the west also funnel wildfire smoke down into the valley floor. When the 2020 CZU Complex Fire burned, the whole city woke up to ash on their cars and a distinct smell inside their homes, and demand for post-smoke duct cleaning surged across every neighborhood.
But the bigger reason Mountain View jobs are different is the housing stock itself. The dominant homes in Cuernavaca, Monta Loma, and Rex Manor were built in the 1950s through the 1970s for the aerospace workforce at Lockheed and NASA Ames. Many of them were constructed without central air. The ductwork came later, added into already-finished spaces like shallow flat attics, and the routing shows it. Sections are irregular, awkward, and difficult to reach. For an out-of-area technician, the layout can be baffling. For us, it’s just what Mountain View looks like from the inside.
Our Main Mountain View Services
Mountain View homeowners call us most about two things: cleaning the air ducts in these older retrofitted homes, and clearing dryer vents that have never been touched. Here’s what each one involves here.
Air Duct Cleaning in Mountain View
When we open a return register in a Cuernavaca Eichler or a Rex Manor ranch, we never know exactly what we’ll find until we get a camera in. A full Air Duct Cleaning in Mountain View uses negative-pressure extraction to pull debris out rather than pushing it around, and we adapt the job to the house. In a mid-century home with a hybrid system, the forced-air side often only covers part of the square footage, so square-footage pricing alone doesn’t tell the story. We figure that out on the front end, not as a surprise after we’ve started.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mountain View
Dryer vents in Mountain View’s older homes are often long, multi-bend runs that exit through roofs or crawl spaces, and lint accumulates fast. A clogged vent makes the dryer run hotter and longer, and it’s one of the most common fire risks in any home. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mountain View clears the full length of the run, not just the first few feet by the wall. In homes built before modern venting codes, those hidden bends are exactly where the blockage sits.
Air Duct Repair in Mountain View
Older duct systems in Mountain View come apart. The original foil tape dries out and fails, sections sag in the attic heat, and gaps open up where the branch lines were spliced. That means air you’re paying to heat or cool is escaping into the attic. Air Duct Repair in Mountain View locates the leaks, reseals the joints, and replaces any section that’s crushed or torn. Every repair we do comes with a written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails, we come back and fix it again at no charge.

What Mountain View Customers Say
"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."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.
