Air Duct & Dryer Vent Cleaning Across the Bay Area

This business does one thing: it cleans the air paths in a building. That means pulling dust out of ductwork, clearing lint from dryer vents, cutting grease out of a range hood, brushing soot from a flue and cleaning the fan above the shower. It does not do mechanical or construction work on heating, cooling or ventilation equipment. If something during a visit looks broken, disconnected or damaged, you will hear about it plainly, and you will need the right trade for that part.

Keeping the scope narrow is also why the prices can be posted. There is no diagnosis to sell and no parts list to grow. A dryer vent is $179, a range hood is $169, a chimney is $149 and a bathroom fan is $99, whether you live in Fremont or Menlo Park.

Not every house needs its ducts cleaned on a schedule, and the EPA guidance on the subject says as much: clean when there is a reason. Good reasons are dust puffing out of the grilles when the system starts, a remodel that sent drywall dust through the house, moving into a home with an unknown history, or pets that shed heavily. If none of those apply, ask on the phone whether it makes sense yet.

Dryer vents are different. Lint keeps collecting every time a load runs, and the U.S. Fire Administration lists failure to clean as the leading cause of home dryer fires. A load that takes two cycles to dry, a hot laundry room or a weak flap outside are signs the run is getting packed. That is why the recommendation here is to have it cleaned about every 6 months, and why there is no long-term promise attached to that service: the lint comes back.

For the rest of the detail, the full price list has every number in one place, how it works walks through a visit, the gallery shows the kind of work involved, and about explains who you are dealing with.
