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 Pico Rivera, CA
Air duct cleaning in Pico Rivera typically costs between $390 and $690 for a single-system home, with most jobs completed in under a day. Pico Rivera homes pull in more airborne grit than almost anywhere else in Los Angeles County because of where the city sits. The 605, the 5, and the 60 wrap around three sides of town, and the industrial corridor along Washington and Rosemead Boulevards adds a constant stream of fine soot and diesel particulate to that mix. The result shows up inside your ducts as a dark, gritty film that returns faster here than in coastal cities. If you’re seeing dust settle back on furniture within days of cleaning, or if the air smells stale the moment the AC kicks on, call us at (980) 447-2498 for a straight answer and a written price before any work starts.
Why Pico Rivera Homes Are Different
Most Pico Rivera homes were built between 1950 and 1975, in the dense single-family ranch tract style that defined the city’s post-incorporation boom. That means attic-ducted systems with original galvanized sheet-metal trunk lines, many of which have never been professionally cleaned. In a lot of these homes, early flex-duct branch runs have sagged or separated over the years, and we regularly find debris traps where garage conversions altered the original duct layout. Add in the fact that Pico Rivera sits inland in the San Gabriel Valley, regularly hitting 95 to 100 degrees through the summer, and your HVAC system is pushing far more air through those aging ducts than a comparable home on the westside ever would. Every season of hard use moves more of that freeway soot and industrial dust through the system. Fall Santa Ana winds spike the problem further, dumping fine desert particulate into neighborhoods across the 90660 and 90661 zip codes. When our technicians open supply registers here, they almost always find a signature dark-gray soot layer, the kind that comes from decades of diesel traffic on the 605 and active industrial emissions off Washington Boulevard. It’s something we rarely see to the same degree even a few miles west in Montebello or Whittier.
Our Main Pico Rivera Services
Pico Rivera homeowners call on us for three core jobs: cleaning the air ducts that circulate air through the house, clearing dryer vents that are the leading cause of laundry-room fires, and repairing ductwork that has cracked, separated, or collapsed in older homes. Here’s what each one involves locally.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pico Rivera
A full-system Air Duct Cleaning in Pico Rivera involves negative-pressure extraction through every supply and return register, including branch lines and the main trunk. In Pico Rivera, that almost always means cutting through years of that dark soot layer we described above, along with construction debris from garage conversions and decades of ordinary household dust. We seal off each register as we work and use professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to pull the debris out, not blow it around the house. You’ll see the before-and-after difference through a small camera we run through the lines.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pico Rivera
Dryer vents in Pico Rivera clog faster than homeowners expect, partly because of the region’s fine particulate load but also because many older ranch homes route dryer exhaust through long, low-clearance attic runs. Lint builds at the bends, then compacts into a dense mat that restricts airflow. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pico Rivera service clears the full run from the dryer collar to the exterior termination point, including lint trap bypass cleaning for the area behind the filter. If we find a crushed or damaged section, we’ll tell you and give you a written price for repair before doing anything else.
Air Duct Repair in Pico Rivera
Older galvanized ductwork cracks at the seams and sags at the hangers, and in Pico Rivera we commonly find sections that have pulled apart entirely after decades of attic heat cycling. That means conditioned air is leaking into the attic and dusty attic air is being pulled into the supply side. Our Air Duct Repair in Pico Rivera work covers re-sealing joints, re-hanging fallen trunk sections, patching punctures with mastic and metal, and replacing collapsed flex-duct runs. Every repair is covered by a written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails, we come back at no charge to make it right.

What Pico Rivera 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.
