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 University of California-Davis, CA
Air duct cleaning in University of California-Davis typically runs $390 – $690 for a standard 1,500 – 2,500 sq ft home, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. The University of California-Davis market is shaped by a specific set of conditions: rental housing stock cycling through student turnover, hot dry summers that load dust into return ducts, and a lot of homes built in the 1960s – 1990s with original flex ducting. Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning handles all three core services here, and you can reach us directly at (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why University of California-Davis Homes Are Different
University of California-Davis sits in the Sacramento Valley, where summers push temperatures past 100°F and the HVAC system runs hard from May through October. That means ducts here accumulate a specific kind of debris: fine clay-like dust that blows off the Central Valley floor, mixed with pollen from campus trees and the olive and oak canopies across older neighborhoods. In the long blocks around Russell Boulevard and the housing near Aggie Village, we see dryer lint buildup in homes where the vent run is long and makes multiple turns before exiting the wall. Ranch-style houses and 1980s two-story builds dominate, and many still have the original rigid metal ducts with fiberglass wrap that sheds into the air stream over time. Student rentals cycle through occupants every year, which means dust, pet dander, and whatever the last tenant left behind all sit in the same duct system when the next lease starts.
Our Main University of California-Davis Services
The three jobs University of California-Davis homeowners call us about most are dryer vent cleaning, whole-system air duct cleaning, and HVAC coil-and-blower cleaning. Each has its own page with local pricing and the specific conditions we see in this area.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in University of California-Davis
Dryer vents in University of California-Davis homes run longer than code today would allow, and many exit at the roofline rather than an exterior wall, which traps lint and moisture. We use negative-pressure extraction to pull built-up lint out, check the vent cap for proper airflow, and verify the run is clean from dryer to exit. In rentals around campus, it’s often the most overlooked safety item before a new tenant moves in, and older Wasco and GE dryers with shorter vent runs clog faster than newer models. Dryer Vent Cleaning in University of California-Davis covers the full local picture.
Air Duct Cleaning in University of California-Davis
Whole-system air duct cleaning here means brushing the supply and return runs, extracting debris, and cleaning the boots and grilles where dust settles. Central Valley dust, construction fallout from the campus expansion projects, and years of pet dander all come out of a typical University of California-Davis system. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush system through the main trunks and branch lines, then cap everything with a Nikro HEPA vacuum to pull loosened material out without blowing it back into the living space. Air Duct Cleaning in University of California-Davis has pricing and schedule details.
HVAC Cleaning in University of California-Davis
HVAC cleaning in University of California-Davis concentrates on the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and drain pan inside the air handler, which are the components that actually touch the air your household breathes. The dry climate means dust cakes onto coil fins and blower blades, reducing airflow and making the unit work harder through summer. We remove the access panel, clean the coil and blower assembly, treat the drain line, and verify proper airflow before closing it back up. HVAC Cleaning in University of California-Davis explains the process for this market.
