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 Cloverdale, CA
Air duct cleaning in Cloverdale isn’t the same job it is 40 miles south. The valley heat, older ranch-style housing stock, and lingering Kincade Fire smoke residue mean duct systems here carry a different kind of buildup. Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning handles both air duct and dryer vent work across Cloverdale with written pricing before we start and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (469) 972-3151 for a straight answer about your system.
Why Cloverdale Homes Are Different
Cloverdale sits in a sheltered inland valley at the northern tip of Sonoma County, where summer temperatures routinely top 100 to 105 degrees. That makes it one of the hottest spots in the region, and HVAC systems here run far more hours than they do in coastal towns like Healdsburg or Guerneville. More runtime means more air cycled through the ducts, and more dust, pet dander, and debris settling on interior walls.
The 2019 Kincade Fire compounds this. Homes that had HVAC running on auto during the evacuation drew smoke-laden particulates deep into the ductwork. We still see black carbon residue on supply registers and inside main trunk lines in Cloverdale ranch homes from that event, years later. A standard seasonal clean doesn’t always reach what settled in after prolonged smoke exposure.
The housing stock itself adds another layer. A notable share of Cloverdale homes are mid-century ranch builds from the 1950s through 1970s, many with original or early-replacement flex duct that’s now deteriorating inside. Pre-WWII homes near the downtown core often have retrofitted central air with improvised duct runs that gather debris at joints and offsets. None of this is rare here; it’s the norm.
Our Main Cloverdale Services
Two jobs account for nearly every call we get in Cloverdale. Both come with a written price, a defined arrival window, and our guarantee.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cloverdale
Most Cloverdale homes benefit most from a full-system cleaning that addresses what the valley heat and fire-season smoke leave behind. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then a Nikro negative-pressure unit to pull it out while Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps loosened particles from re-entering your living space. In older ranch homes, we often find flex duct lining that has broken down and contributes to the dust load. The full breakdown of the work is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Cloverdale page, including what pushes cost up in this specific market.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cloverdale
Dryer vents in Cloverdale run long in older homes, often up through attics or out through walls with multiple bends. Lint builds at every offset. In valley winter conditions, damp morning air can make that lint sticky and compact, which is why some Cloverdale vents clog again quickly if cleaning stops short of the exterior. We clear the full run and confirm airflow at the termination point. Details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cloverdale page.

What Cloverdale 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."
