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 Rialto, CA
Air duct cleaning in Rialto runs between $395 and $850 for most single-family homes, depending on system size and how much soot and dust has settled into the ductwork. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work on the specific problems Rialto homes have: diesel particulates from the I-10 corridor, desert dust scoured through Cajon Pass, and aging flex duct in attics that routinely hit 140°F. Call us at (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Rialto Homes Are Different
Rialto sits directly on the I-10 freeway corridor, the main inland route for goods moving from the Ports of LA and Long Beach. That means constant heavy-truck traffic and diesel exhaust. The South Coast Air Quality Management District has flagged this area for chronic PM2.5 non-attainment, and the fine particulates settle into homes through the HVAC returns. In neighborhoods near the warehouse campuses along Alder Avenue and Riverside Avenue, we regularly find a black soot ring inside supply boots that homeowners in cleaner bedroom communities never see.
Layered on top of the freeway exhaust is the geography. Cajon Pass sits roughly 12 miles north, and when Santa Ana winds scour the Mojave, they deposit coarse desert dust across the San Bernardino Valley. That dust overwhelms standard 1-inch filters fast. Meanwhile, Rialto’s housing stock is mostly tract homes built between the late 1950s and 1985, and much of the original flex ductwork still runs through unconditioned attics. Those attics bake in summer, and the heat accelerates liner and joint failure, pulling insulation fibers and attic dust into the airstream. So Rialto ducts accumulate two things fast: fine soot from the outside air and released fibers from aging duct runs themselves.
Our Main Rialto Services
Rialto homeowners call us about two jobs most often: cleaning the air ducts that feed every room, and clearing dryer vents that are fully packed with lint. Each has its own Rialto page below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Rialto
For full-system Air Duct Cleaning in Rialto, we use negative-air extraction: a Nikro unit creates vacuum at the plenum while a Rotobrush agitates the duct walls so loosened debris is pulled out, not pushed through the house. An Abatement Technologies HEPA filter holds the fine stuff so it never re-enters your living space. In Rialto homes, we pay special attention to supply boots near the freeway side of the house, where diesel soot tends to cake first. The written price includes every vent, return, and the main trunk line, agreed before we start.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rialto
For Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rialto, we disassemble the vent run where accessible and work with a rotary brush and negative-pressure collection, plus a lint-trap bypass so the blower housing isn’t shredded during the job. Rialto’s older tract homes often have long vent runs through the attic, and every additional foot of run adds resistance that lets lint pack in tighter. We check the termination flap for proper seal and clear the full run, not just the first few feet at the wall.

What Rialto Customers Say
"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."
- Terrence Boyd"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."
