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 Saranap, CA
Air duct cleaning in Saranap runs $290 – $590 for a full system on a typical rancher, with dryer vent cleaning at $119 – $185 and repair work priced per job after inspection. What makes Saranap jobs different is the housing stock: mostly 1950s – 1970s ranch and split-level homes where original duct board and early flex duct have now passed sixty years old. Combine that with inland Lamorinda summer heat that keeps AC running hard from June through September, and systems here accumulate fine particulate far faster than homes a few miles west. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written price before any work begins.
Why Saranap Homes Are Different
Saranap sits in the inland Lamorinda corridor between Walnut Creek and Lafayette, and the ductwork here carries a specific history. The community developed heavily during postwar Contra Costa County buildout, leaving a predominance of ranch homes with original fiberglass duct board or early flex duct that has never been professionally serviced. We regularly find collapsed flex sections and deteriorated duct board liners that shed particulate directly into conditioned air – issues that do not show up on a filter change but absolutely affect what your family breathes.
Then there is the fire history. During the 2018 Camp Fire and the 2020 LNU Lightning Complex, hazardous AQI pushed into this inland valley for weeks. Residents who ran central AC to stay cool pulled fine ash and PM2.5 deep into decades-old duct systems. The result in Saranap specifically is a distinctive gray-black particulate layer on duct interiors and registers that standard seasonal-dust cleaning does not fully address without HEPA-filtered negative-air equipment. Fall Diablo wind events add another layer, sweeping dried oak pollen and fine hill debris into homes through any duct leakage points. This is not a generic duct cleaning job. It requires equipment and methods matched to what actually happened in these homes.
Our Main Saranap Services
Saranap homeowners call us most about two things: full air duct cleaning after fire seasons or years of deferred maintenance, and dryer vent cleaning where lint has packed into long runs through walls and attics. Air duct repair rounds out the work, usually after an inspection finds a collapsed flex section or a separated joint.
Air Duct Cleaning in Saranap
We connect a high-powered negative-air extraction unit to your duct system and go register by register with rotary brushes and HEPA-filtered capture. In Saranap, the critical step is addressing the fire-ash layer on duct interiors – something our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment is built to remove without recirculating fine particles into the living space. Homes that ran AC through the 2020 season often need a second pass on return ducts specifically. Air Duct Cleaning in Saranap covers the full process, including before-and-after photos of your own registers.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Saranap
Ranch-era Saranap homes often route dryer vents through long interior wall cavities or attic runs that were not sized for modern lint loads. We run rotary brushes the full interior length, then vacuum from the exterior or interior termination point and verify airflow with a manometer before we leave. If a lint trap bypass is present, we address it so the trap is not just cleaned but actually sealed against bypass. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Saranap walks through the flat price per system and what we check at each visit.
Air Duct Repair in Saranap
Sixty-year-old flex duct in Saranap crawlspaces and attics fails in predictable ways: sagging sections that trap debris, separations at register boots, crushed runs from decades of stored belongings. We inspect first, show you photos of what we found, and give a written repair price before any work starts. Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Air Duct Repair in Saranap covers the common failure points we see in these homes.

What Saranap 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.
