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 Selma, TX
Most Selma homes run between $450 and $900 for a full air duct cleaning, depending on home size and how long the system has gone without service. We are Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work on Selma’s older ranch homes and tract houses every week, so we know exactly what this Valley air does to ductwork. If you want a written price before anyone touches a vent, call us at (469) 972-3151.
Why Selma Homes Are Different
Selma sits in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley’s raisin district, and that changes everything about air duct cleaning here. During the August and September harvest, surrounding vineyards and nearby processing operations release fine dehydrated grape particulate into the air. It settles on roofs, gets drawn into return vents, and builds up inside ductwork as a tan-to-rust colored film that looks nothing like ordinary household dust. Homeowners on the south and east edges of town, closest to active drying fields, often see this accumulation within a single season.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most Selma neighborhoods were built between the 1950s and 1980s for agricultural workers and packing-house employees. Many of these homes still run original galvanized ducts or early-generation flex duct with seams that have failed over the decades. When attic tape lets go, agricultural dust doesn’t even need a vent opening to get into the supply air. It infiltrates directly through the gaps. Add the Valley’s temperature inversion, which traps particulates low to the ground for weeks at a time, and you get systems that load up faster here than almost anywhere else in the state.
Our Main Selma Services
Selma homeowners call us about two things most often: the ductwork inside the house and the dryer vent that exits it. Both jobs run into the same local problem, that fine agricultural dust, and both are covered by the same written guarantee.
Air Duct Cleaning in Selma
Air duct cleaning in Selma means more than vacuuming a few registers. The harvest dust that blows in from the vineyards coats the inside of supply and return plenums, the blower housing, and the interior walls of every run. We use negative-air extraction, a process where a powerful vacuum pulls the entire system under suction while rotating brushes dislodge debris at the duct wall. That combination gets the brown agricultural film out instead of just loosening it. We also check older galvanized seams for tape failure, which is common in Selma’s 1950s through 1980s housing stock. Full details are on the dedicated Air Duct Cleaning in Selma page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma
Dryer vent cleaning in Selma is a safety job, not a convenience job. Fine raisin dust and lint combine inside the vent run to form a dense, compacted blockage that restricts airflow and builds heat. Homes with older flex venting, common in Selma’s ranch-style neighborhoods, are especially vulnerable because lint catches on every ridge and kink. We pull the dryer out, break the clog loose through the full run, and verify airflow at the exterior termination. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Selma page for the full scope of work.

What pushes the price up in Selma is usually the harvest dust load and the age of the duct system. Homes near the east-side packing sheds or surrounded by active raisin blocks often need the heavy agricultural dust surcharge simply because there is more material to remove. Whatever the final figure, it is on paper and agreed to before any work starts. The written price is the price.

What Selma Customers Say
"My wife's allergies were awful every morning. Had the ducts done and it's made a real difference. Tech was on time and wore booties in the house without me asking."
- Rob Pendergast"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."
