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 Cloverdale, CA
Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning handles full-system air duct cleaning, HVAC cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning for Cloverdale homeowners. The job here looks a little different than it does in Santa Rosa or Petaluma, mostly because of the housing stock: a lot of Cloverdale homes sit at the northern edge of Sonoma County’s heat band, where summer days push past 95°F and AC systems cycle harder than they do further south. That means dust loads, filter loading, and return-side buildup all happen faster. You can reach us at (737) 727-2314.
Why Cloverdale Homes Are Different
Cloverdale sits where the Russian River valley narrows, and the summer heat pools in the town. Homes here run their air conditioning from late May through October, sometimes into November. The HVAC system becomes a dust magnet. Return air pulls in whatever is in the house – flour from the kitchen, dog hair from the hallway, dust that drifts in off the 101 corridor when windows are open on cooler nights – and deposits it inside the duct runs.
The housing stock compounds it. We work in bungalows and ranch-style single-story homes built between the 1950s and the 1990s, plus newer subdivisions up near the Cloverdale High School area and along the east side of town. Many of those older homes have duct systems that were never cleaned, sometimes never even opened up since the day they were installed. In those systems we see rockwool insulation fragments around boots, years of construction dust, and occasionally rodent evidence in crawlspace runs. Newer homes tend to have flex duct that collapses or tears if it was not hung properly, meaning air bypasses the rooms it is supposed to reach.
Add hillside terrain in sections like the Cloverdale Ranch area, and some systems work a lot harder than others. It is not unusual for two homes on the same street to have completely different dust profiles, depending on whether the return sits in a hallway, a living room, or inside a garage wall.
Our Main Cloverdale Services
Most Cloverdale homeowners call us for one of three reasons: a dryer vent that is not drying clothes, an HVAC system that is blowing dust or losing airflow, or a full air duct cleaning before moving into an older home. Each service has its own dedicated Cloverdale page below.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cloverdale
In Cloverdale’s older single-story homes, the dryer vent often runs through a crawlspace or straight out a side wall. The closer the laundry room sits to the center of the house, the longer that exhaust run gets, and the more lint packs inside it. We remove the accumulated lint with professional rotary brushes and HEPA vacuum extraction, then verify airflow at the exterior vent hood. If your Cloverdale dryer is taking two cycles to dry a load, that is the common first sign. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cloverdale
Air Duct Cleaning in Cloverdale
Full air duct cleaning means opening the supply and return plenums and cleaning the entire duct distribution system, not just the vents you can see. In Cloverdale homes with crawlspace ducting, we also inspect the accessible runs for tears, sagging, or separation – problems we see routinely in 40- and 50-year-old systems. The job uses negative-pressure extraction, meaning the loosened debris goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum rather than back into your living room. Air Duct Cleaning in Cloverdale
HVAC Cleaning in Cloverdale
HVAC cleaning targets the equipment itself: the evaporator coil, blower wheel, drain pan, and the cabinet interior. In Cloverdale’s dusty late-summer air, a coated blower wheel can cut airflow enough that rooms at the far end of the house never cool properly, even when the AC runs all day. We pull the blower, clean the wheel, flush the drain line, and treat the coil. Most Cloverdale systems benefit from this every three to five years depending on pets and how often the fan runs.

A larger two-story home with a long crawlspace run and a dirty blower pushes toward the top. Whatever the final number is, you get a written price before any work starts; that price does not change at the door.
