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 Inglewood, CA
Air duct cleaning in Inglewood is one of those jobs that looks routine on paper but rarely is once we open a return register. Most homes here were built between the 1940s and 1960s as bungalows and California ranches, and central air came later, usually as a retrofit in the 1980s or 1990s. That means the flex duct in your attic has been up there for 30 to 40 years, pulling air through decades of dust, and in Inglewood specifically, a fine black carbon film from LAX flight paths. If you’re looking for an air duct cleaning company in Inglewood that will tell you the full price before the work starts and stand behind it in writing, call us at (469) 972-3151.
Why Inglewood Homes Are Different
Inglewood sits directly beneath the arrival and departure corridors of LAX, and that changes what accumulates inside ducts. Homes here collect a greasy, fine black film on interior duct surfaces that is largely jet-exhaust carbon, a pattern our technicians see faster and heavier in Inglewood than almost anywhere else in the South Bay. Ultrafine particles, black carbon, and combustion byproducts settle on and get drawn through HVAC systems continuously, which is why duct cleaning in Inglewood is less about routine upkeep and more about removing an ongoing airport-sourced particulate load.
Then there is the housing stock itself. A large share of Inglewood’s homes are post-WWII bungalows with HVAC retrofitted in the 1980s and 1990s. That flex duct is now 30 to 40 years old and frequently collapsed at joints, torn at bends, or chewed through by rodents in the attic. On top of that, Inglewood sits in the coastal marine influence zone, meaning regular morning fog and higher relative humidity than the Valley. Damp attics accelerate mold inside aging flex duct in ways that drier inland markets rarely see with the same vintage of HVAC.
Our Main Inglewood Services
Inglewood homeowners call us about two things most often: the air ducts moving heated and cooled air through the house, and the dryer vent carrying lint and moisture out of it. Each has its own page on this site with the full detail and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Inglewood
Air duct cleaning here means pulling years of dust, pet dander, and that LAX carbon film out of your supply and return lines. In older Inglewood bungalows, we commonly find collapsed flex duct in the attic that has been leaking conditioned air into open space for years, which means the cleaning job often doubles as a real inspection of what is actually connected and moving air. We use negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration to keep loosened particles out of your living space while we clean. See the full service breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Inglewood page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Inglewood
Dryer vents in Inglewood’s older ranch homes tend to be long runs through the attic or crawlspace, which means lint accumulates faster and the risk of a blocked vent is higher than in newer construction with short, direct exhaust paths. A clogged dryer vent is not just an efficiency problem; it is a documented fire risk, and we treat it that way on every visit. We clean the full vent run, check the exterior termination, and verify airflow at the end of the job. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Inglewood for pricing and what to expect.

What Inglewood 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."
