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 Old Fig Garden, CA
Most Old Fig Garden homes were built between the 1920s and 1950s, and almost none of them had central air from the start. The ductwork here is retrofitted – squeezed into attics, threaded through crawl spaces, and carved into original plaster walls decades after the house went up. That means irregular runs, old flex duct spliced onto galvanized plenums, and every gap pulling in San Joaquin Valley dust. We clean those systems the way they were actually built, not the way a textbook says they should be. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate, and you’ll get a written price before we touch a single vent.
Why Old Fig Garden Homes Are Different
Old Fig Garden’s housing stock is genuinely unusual. The neighborhood is defined by large, architect-designed Period Revival estates – Spanish Colonial, Tudor, English Cottage – built predominantly between the 1920s and 1950s. Central HVAC arrived later, as a retrofit, which means most systems here are patchwork jobs: older flex duct spliced onto original galvanized plenums, return-air chases cut into plaster walls, and long runs through unconditioned attic space where summer temperatures above 100°F push air handlers to run nearly nonstop.
Layered on top of that is the air itself. Fresno sits in the San Joaquin Valley, which the EPA consistently ranks among the worst regions in the nation for PM2.5 and ozone. Old Fig Garden ducts accumulate agricultural field dust, tule-fog particulates, and wildfire smoke residue at rates that surprise technicians who learned their trade in cleaner-air metros. The mature fig and citrus canopy adds another layer: intense spring pollen loads get pulled into return-air grilles positioned low on interior walls, then settle in the tortuous runs of mid-century retrofitted sheet metal. A standard cleaning in a newer subdivision and a thorough cleaning in Old Fig Garden are not the same job.
Our Main Old Fig Garden Services
Two jobs dominate our work in Old Fig Garden: whole-home air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own Old Fig Garden page with full pricing, local details, and FAQs.
Air Duct Cleaning in Old Fig Garden
Retrofitted ductwork in 1920s-1950s homes almost never has the clean, straight runs you see in newer construction. We use negative-air extraction – a vacuum system that pulls air backward through the ducts under pressure – combined with rotary brush agitation to break loose the compacted dust, pollen, and Valley particulate that settles in those irregular runs. Every job starts with a written price and ends with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Old Fig Garden page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Old Fig Garden
Older Old Fig Garden homes often route dryer vents through long, convoluted paths – up through attic spaces, around original framing, sometimes twenty feet or more before reaching the exterior. That’s a recipe for lint accumulation and slow drying. We use professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to clear the full run, including the lint trap bypass, and we check the exterior termination point before we leave. Details and pricing are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Old Fig Garden page.

What Old Fig Garden 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."
