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 Campbell, CA
Air duct cleaning in Campbell costs between $389 and $689 for most homes, depending on the number of systems, duct condition, and whether the job includes crawl-space access work. Campbell’s housing stock makes this work different from neighboring cities: most of the residential core is original 1950s-1970s ranch construction, and a lot of that ductwork has never been opened since installation. Add wildfire smoke settling into the valley each fall and you get a specific set of conditions we see on Campbell jobs more than almost anywhere else in the South Bay. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Campbell Homes Are Different
Campbell sits at the foot of the Santa Cruz Mountains, which means smoke from foothills and coastal-range fires funnels down through the hills and settles right here before it disperses. During the 2020 SCU and CZU Lightning Complex fires, we pulled fine gray particulate out of return plenums across Campbell’s older neighborhoods, stuff that homeowners in Sunnyvale and other flatland cities simply never saw. The other thing that makes Campbell different is the housing itself. The postwar boom left block after block of single-story ranch homes, many still running original sheet metal duct runs through unconditioned crawl spaces. In those crawl spaces, decades of condensation cycles have done two things: rusted the ductwork from the outside and encouraged mold where the metal sits against damp soil. We routinely open plenums in Campbell and find 40 to 60-year-old sheet metal that has never been accessed since the day it was installed, often with disconnected joints, rodent debris, and moisture-driven mold colonies. Newer infill townhomes and condos near downtown and the Pruneyard corridor bring a different set of conditions, tighter modern systems that still accumulate the same valley dust and smoke particulate. But the ranch stock drives most of the volume, and it is the reason Campbell duct cleaning often takes longer and costs more than a similar job in a newer development.
Our Main Campbell Services
Two services cover what Campbell homeowners call us about most. Each has its own dedicated Campbell page with pricing, process detail, and local-specific questions answered.
Air Duct Cleaning in Campbell
Our most common Campbell job is a full-system cleaning on a 1950s or 1960s ranch home with original sheet metal ducts. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush through the supply and return runs to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then connect a Nikro negative-air unit to pull everything out under vacuum while Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps the loosened particles from re-entering the living space. On Campbell crawl-space jobs, we typically find rust scale, mold, and disconnected joints that trap debris and need more time than a standard system. Read the full breakdown at Air Duct Cleaning in Campbell.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Campbell
Dryer vents in Campbell ranch homes often run long horizontal distances through crawl spaces or walls, which makes them prime spots for lint buildup and, in older homes, bird or rodent nesting. The damp winter fog season raises interior humidity enough that lint clumps and sticks rather than blowing through, especially in vents that pass through unconditioned space. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, including the lint trap bypass and the exterior vent hood. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Campbell for specifics on cost and timing.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Campbell, CA
Here’s what Campbell homeowners should expect, based on the home’s size and duct configuration.
| Service | Typical range in Campbell |
|---|---|
| Full-system air duct cleaning (single system, 6-10 vents) | $389 - $489 |
| Full-system air duct cleaning (single system, 11-15 vents) | $489 - $589 |
| Full-system air duct cleaning (two systems, 16-20 vents) | $589 - $689 |

| Dryer vent cleaning (standard single-story run) | $129 - $199 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (crawl-space or wall-chase run) | $179 - $249 |
What pushes a Campbell job toward the higher end of these ranges is almost always crawl-space access, rusted or disconnected ductwork that needs repair before cleaning can be effective, and smoke residue that requires a second pass through the supply runs. We give you the written price before we touch a single vent, and that’s the price you pay. No revisions at the door, no surprise line items.

What Campbell Customers Say
"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."
- Rob Pendergast"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."
