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 Piedmont, CA
Air duct cleaning in Piedmont runs $390 – $680 for a typical whole-home system, and the work takes about 3 – 5 hours. Piedmont’s older hillside estates and mid-century homes have long duct runs, tight mechanical closets, and decades of accumulated dust in systems that were rarely cleaned before sale. If your system hasn’t been touched in years, call us at (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Piedmont Homes Are Different
Piedmont’s housing stock is older and better-built than most of the East Bay, and that changes how we approach every job. Many homes on Crocker Avenue, Wildwood Avenue, and Blair Avenue were built between the 1920s and 1960s, and plenty still have original galvanized ductwork that’s outlived a few furnaces. Galvanized steel ducts from that era corrode at the seams, catch lint and plaster dust, and often have joints that were sealed with materials that dry out and crumble over sixty or seventy years.
The terrain matters too. Piedmont sits on a slope, with many split-level homes built into hillsides. That means longer vertical duct runs, returns buried behind foundation walls, and crawlspaces that are shallower and dustier than what you’d find on flat ground. We see more construction debris in Piedmont ducts than in almost any nearby city because so many homes here have gone through multiple remodels over the decades. Add in the Bay Area’s dry summers and fog-damp winters, and dust in the system tends to cake, stick, and settle in the low points of those sloped runs.
Permits aren’t required for air duct cleaning itself in Piedmont, and the HOA rules we’ve encountered focus on noise and work hours rather than the cleaning itself. We’re out of your driveway the same day, usually in a single visit.
Our Main Piedmont Services
Piedmont homeowners call us about three things most often: dryer vents that need clearing, air ducts that haven’t been cleaned in a decade or more, and HVAC systems that need the full treatment before allergy season or after a remodel. Each one has its own page with local pricing and details specific to Piedmont.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Piedmont
Piedmont’s older homes often have dryer vents that run fifteen feet or more through crawlspaces or out through the roof, and every bend collects lint. We clean the full run with rotary brushes and HEPA extraction, not just the first few feet behind the dryer. Lint buildup in a long Piedmont vent is a fire hazard, and we treat it that way. If your drying times have crept up, read the details on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Piedmont page and get a written price before we start.
Air Duct Cleaning in Piedmont
Most Piedmont homes we visit need full supply and return duct cleaning, plus the registers and the main trunk lines. We use negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush agitation and Nikro HEPA vacuums, so loosened debris leaves the system instead of blowing back into your living room. Older Piedmont homes with original ductwork often take a little longer than a newer build, but the written quote you get up front is the price you pay. Full details on Air Duct Cleaning in Piedmont.
HVAC Cleaning in Piedmont
HVAC cleaning here goes beyond the ducts themselves. We clean the blower motor, evaporator coil, drain pan, and the plenum boxes at both ends of the system. In Piedmont’s hillside homes, access is often tight, and the coil location can be awkward, but we’ve handled enough of these to know exactly what Pittsburgh-facing mechanical closets and garages throw at us. For the full scope and local pricing, see HVAC Cleaning in Piedmont.
