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 Walnut Creek, CA
We clean air ducts in Walnut Creek for homes that work harder than most in the Bay Area. The city sits in the Diablo Valley heat trap, so central air runs flat out from June through September, pulling dust through aging ductwork in thousands of 1950s – 1970s ranch homes and Rossmoor condos. That means faster buildup, older seals, and a system that needs a real professional, not a coupon special. Call (980) 447-2498 for a straight answer and a written price before any work starts.
Why Walnut Creek Homes Are Different
Walnut Creek hits 100°F+ most summers, which makes it one of the hottest cities in the Bay Area. Coastal neighbors in Oakland or Fremont can leave windows open; here, the AC runs continuously for four months, pulling airborne dust and allergens through the return side of the system faster than almost anywhere else in the region. Mount Diablo’s foothills add a second load: spring grass pollen from the open space, then Diablo wind events in late summer and fall that push Central Valley dust and wildfire smoke straight into valley homes and their intake grilles.
The housing stock compounds this. The dominant homes are single-story ranch houses built between the 1950s and 1970s in neighborhoods like Northgate and Walnut Heights. These were typically built with flex or galvanized steel ductwork that is now 40 to 55 years old, with deteriorating seals and insulation batt debris that sheds into the supply lines. Rossmoor’s thousands of condos, built between the late 1960s and mid-1970s, often still run the original duct configurations. That’s a lot of 50-year-old ductwork in a city where the AC never stops.
Our Main Walnut Creek Services
Most Walnut Creek homeowners call us for two things: getting the ducts clean, and getting the dryer vent clear. Here’s what each job involves here, with a dedicated page for each service.
Air Duct Cleaning in Walnut Creek
We run negative-pressure extraction through the full duct system, pulling out the dust, pet dander, insulation debris, and wildfire smoke particulate that collects in Walnut Creek’s older flex and galvanized steel lines. In Rossmoor units especially, we regularly find dust that has been sitting in the same ducts since the original install. Every job gets a written price before the equipment comes off the truck, and the tech’s name and photo are sent to you before the visit. Air Duct Cleaning in Walnut Creek
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Walnut Creek
Walnut Creek’s long, dry summers leave dryer vents packed with fine, bone-dry lint that builds up fast. We clear the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination point, including the lint trap bypass, which is the spot most DIY kits miss. In multi-story homes and Rossmoor condos, longer vertical runs need the full professional equipment, not a drugstore brush. The price is in writing before we start, and the tech shows a photo ID badge at the door. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Walnut Creek
Air Duct Repair in Walnut Creek
Older Walnut Creek ductwork often has separated joints, crushed flex runs, and rusted galvanized sections that leak conditioned air into the attic or crawlspace. We reseal, replace, and re-support the damaged sections so the air your AC produces actually reaches the rooms. Every repair is covered by a written guarantee, and if a covered repair doesn’t hold, we come back at no charge. Air Duct Repair in Walnut Creek
