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 San Leandro, CA
Air duct cleaning in San Leandro means dealing with Bay Area marine air, older East Bay housing stock, and a lot of dust from I-880 and I-580 traffic. Most homes here were built between 1940 and 1980, and their ductwork often hasn’t been opened since. We run professional-grade Nikro HEPA vacuums and Rotobrush systems that pull decades of buildup out without kicking it back into your living room. For a standard single-system home, most air duct cleanings in San Leandro run $395 to $695. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a written price before anything starts.
Why San Leandro Homes Are Different
San Leandro sits right between the bay and the East Bay hills, so the air carries both salt moisture and fine particulate from the freeways. That combination settles in ductwork faster than inland cities see. Homes in the Davis Tract, Estudillo Estates, and Bancroft neighborhoods are largely mid-century builds with original sheet-metal ducts that have collected 40 to 70 years of debris. Marine fog pushes humidity into crawl spaces and attics, which means dust in the ducts tends to cake and stick rather than blow through. In Washington Manor and Marina Faire, we regularly find dryer lint and construction dust packed into return plenums. Older homes with floor registers also trap sand and pet hair at every grate. The terrain matters too: neighborhoods up against the hills, like Bay-O-Vista, deal with more pollen and eucalyptus debris than flatland areas closer to the shoreline.
Our Main San Leandro Services
Most San Leandro homeowners reach out for two reasons: dryer vents that won’t dry a load in under an hour, or visible dust around the registers every time the furnace or AC kicks on. Here’s what each job involves locally.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leandro
Dryer vents in San Leandro clog fast because laundry rooms are often tucked into garages or interior hallways, which means long vent runs with multiple elbows. Lint builds at every bend. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior cap using a Rotobrush system, then verify airflow at the termination point. If the cap is painted shut or blocked by stucco, which we see all the time in Marina Faire and the Broadmoor area, we clear it and confirm the flapper opens freely. A clogged dryer vent is a fire hazard, and in a tightly built San Leandro home, it also pulls moisture back into the walls. Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leandro is its own page with full pricing and what to expect on the day.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Leandro
Air duct cleaning here means pulling the registers, loosening buildup inside the full trunk and branch runs, and extracting everything under negative pressure, which means the debris goes straight into a HEPA-filtered vacuum instead of back into the house. In San Leandro, we often find layers of fine highway dust, pet dander, and old insulation fragments inside supply runs. Homes near the San Leandro Hills get more pollen in the late spring, and it settles inside ducts too. If the system hasn’t been opened in years, we’ll often find a carpet of debris along the bottom of the return. Air Duct Cleaning in San Leandro covers the full process, pricing, and what happens during the job.
HVAC Cleaning in San Leandro
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ductwork itself to the components that move air: the blower motor, evaporator coil, condensate pan, and the inside of the air handler. In San Leandro, where furnaces sit in garages or closets, those components collect a fine film of dust and salt air residue that reduces airflow and makes the system work harder. We clean the coil with professional-grade products and check the condensate line for blockages, which are common in older San Leandro homes where the line drains into a floor sink or exterior wall. After cleaning, the system moves air more efficiently and runs quieter. HVAC Cleaning in San Leandro has the detail on scope and cost.
