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 Mendota, CA
Air duct cleaning in Mendota is not a once-a-decade chore. The fields that surround this city put more dust into a home’s ductwork in one harvest season than most suburban houses see in three years, and we built our Mendota service around that reality. Every home here sits within reach of active cantaloupe, cotton, and tomato acreage, so the work is heavier, the filters clog faster, and the payoff of a real cleaning is immediate. If your vents have never been opened in a Mendota home, call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll tell you exactly what to expect, including a written price before anything starts.
Why Mendota Homes Are Different
Mendota’s housing stock was built for farm work. Most of the single-family homes and manufactured housing date from the 1960s through the 1980s, which means flexible vinyl ductwork, loosely sealed joints, and systems that were never sized for the particulate load this agricultural corridor throws at them. Every summer, when temperatures push past 105°F, Mendota AC systems run near-continuously from May through September, pulling field dust through returns and into the ducts. Then the San Joaquin Valley’s winter Tule fog arrives and adds moisture, binding that accumulated dust into a compacted layer that sticks to duct walls and resists ordinary airflow.
The difference shows up fast. Homes within a mile of active fields – in Mendota, that’s nearly every home – routinely show contamination after a single cantaloupe or cotton harvest that would take three to five years to build up in a typical suburban market. During late-summer harvest, a fresh filter can be visibly clogged within two or three weeks. That’s the job we’re set up for: not a light cosmetic pass, but a full extraction of the agricultural dust that Mendota homes actually collect.
Our Main Mendota Services
Mendota homeowners call us for two jobs, and each one has its own detailed Mendota page with local pricing and what the work involves.
Air Duct Cleaning in Mendota
We run a Rotobrush rotary brush through every supply and return line to break up the field dust and compacted debris that cling to Mendota’s older vinyl ductwork, then pair it with a Nikro negative-air unit that pulls loosened particles out of the house instead of recirculating them. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps that dust out of your living space while the work is underway. Field dust and pesticide-laden particulates settle deep in ducts here, and the combination of brush agitation plus negative-air extraction is what actually removes them. Full details on Mendota pricing are on our Air Duct Cleaning in Mendota page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mendota
Dryer vents in Mendota struggle with the same agricultural dust as everything else, plus the lint load from constant work clothes and farm laundry. We clear the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination point, including the lint trap bypass where blockage most often starts. A clogged dryer vent in a Mendota home forces the dryer to run longer cycles while pulling in more of the dust that’s already everywhere outdoors. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mendota page covers what the service includes and what it costs in this city.

What pushes a Mendota home toward the higher end is the same thing that makes this city different from anywhere else: the depth of agricultural dust in the system. A home that hasn’t had its ducts opened in a decade, or one that sits directly across the road from a field, will take longer to do properly. That longer labor is the honest price of the job, not an add-on. Whatever the number is, you get it in writing before any work begins, and it does not change at the door.

What Mendota Customers Say
"Bought an older home and the previous owners had pets everywhere. After Kestrel did the ducts the stale smell was just gone. On time, quick, and they showed me the filter they pulled."
- Preston Ngata"Our dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load. They cleaned the vent and pulled out a frightening amount of lint. Dries in one cycle now and honestly I feel better about the fire risk."
- Marcus Lee"Set up an appointment for the whole house plus the dryer line. They called the morning of to confirm, showed up in the window, and showed me pictures of the gunk they pulled out. Worth it."
