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 Rodeo, CA
Air duct cleaning in Rodeo runs different than in neighboring Hercules or Pinole, and it starts with where the homes sit. Most houses here were built between the 1940s and 1970s for refinery and industrial workers, and a lot of that original metal ductwork is still in place today. Add in San Pablo Bay humidity and the refinery corridor’s airborne particulate, and you get duct interiors that hold greasy, chemically complex buildup instead of ordinary household dust. Our Rodeo crews handle that specific combination every week. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Rodeo Homes Are Different
Rodeo’s residential streets sit directly against the Phillips 66 Rodeo Refinery, and that proximity shows up inside duct systems. Airborne sulfur compounds, petroleum emissions, and fine particulate from refinery operations drift into homes and settle in ductwork. We routinely see darker, greasier deposits in Rodeo ducts than anywhere else along the San Pablo Bay shoreline, especially near the Giant Road corridor close to the fence line. That residue is not just household dust. It’s a chemically different material that grips duct walls and resists standard cleaning methods. Our technicians understand it because they work with it here constantly.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Many Rodeo homes still have their original mid-century rigid metal ducts, often patched over the decades with flexible duct sections added during piecemeal renovations. Those connection points are where particulate collects and seals fail. Meanwhile, marine fog and bay breezes keep duct interiors damp for long stretches, which accelerates mold adhesion on walls already coated with refinery residue. In Rodeo, cleaning alone often isn’t enough – sealing those transition points matters just as much as removing what’s stuck inside them.
Our Main Rodeo Services
Rodeo homeowners call us about two problems more than anything else: dirty ductwork carrying refinery particulate through the house, and dryer vents clogged with lint that the bay humidity turns into a dense, stubborn mat. Each service has its own Rodeo page with full pricing and job details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Rodeo
Rodeo ductwork carries a specific burden: petroleum-tinged residue that ordinary vacuum systems cannot pull from the walls. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Rodeo uses negative-air extraction, which means a Nikro unit pulls air backward through the duct system under pressure while brush agitation loosens the deposits. That combination is what it takes to remove refinery particulate that has been baking onto duct walls for years. The full page explains the process, the equipment, and what to expect on the day of the job.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rodeo
Marine humidity turns ordinary dryer lint into a dense, adhesive mat inside the vent run, and Rodeo’s older homes often have longer, convoluted vent paths than newer construction. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rodeo clears the full run from the lint trap bypass to the exterior termination point, removing the compacted deposits that extend dry times and create a fire hazard. High-limit thermostats in Rodeo dryers trip more often than homeowners expect, usually because the vent is carrying a heavier lint load than it was designed for.

What Rodeo 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."
