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 Brisbane, CA
Air duct cleaning in Brisbane runs between $380 and $560 for a typical single-family home, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. The work here is shaped by two things we see on nearly every call: post-war homes with original sheet-metal ducts, and the heaviest fog band on the mid-Peninsula. That combination means Brisbane ductwork collects more than dust – it collects the kind of moisture-driven growth that inland neighbors like San Mateo or Burlingame rarely deal with. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Brisbane Homes Are Different
Brisbane sits compressed between San Bruno Mountain and the San Francisco Bay shore, a squeeze that produces one of the Peninsula’s foggiest, most moisture-saturated microclimates. That marine air doesn’t just sit outside. It moves through crawlspaces, subfloor cavities, and into the duct runs of homes built mostly in the 1940s through the 1970s. Many of those homes still have their original sheet-metal ductwork, now sixty to eighty years old, with insulation liners that have spent decades absorbing condensation cycles.
What we find in Brisbane hillside crawlspaces is distinctive. Cool fog air settles against warm ducts and almost never dries out between foggy seasons. The result is a fine mold bloom on liner interiors that homeowners often write off as general “Bay Area mustiness.” It isn’t. It’s a moisture problem made worse by steep-lot construction, where duct runs pass through unconditioned spaces with almost no airflow. Cleaning a Brisbane system means treating that moisture-driven growth, not just pulling out dust.
Our Main Brisbane Services
Most Brisbane homeowners call us for one of two jobs, and each has its own detailed page with pricing, process, and local notes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Brisbane
Brisbane’s aging duct liners need more than a surface pass. We run Rotobrush rotary brush systems through the full duct run to dislodge debris at the wall, then pair that with Nikro negative-pressure extraction to pull loosened material out rather than blowing it into the living space. In Brisbane specifically, we pay close attention to liner condition in hillside crawlspaces, where trapped fog drives the mold bloom we described above. Full details on Air Duct Cleaning in Brisbane.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brisbane
Dryer vents in Brisbane homes run through the same moisture-heavy crawlspaces and exterior walls as the ducts, and clogged vents here fail in a particular way: lint absorbs fog moisture, mats down, and hardens into a blockage that a standard vacuum pass won’t remove. We clear the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination point. Full process, pricing, and what we find in Brisbane walls on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Brisbane page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Brisbane, CA
| Service | Typical range in Brisbane |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (single system, up to 10 vents) | $380 - $560 |
| Each additional vent beyond 10 | $18 - $25 per vent |
| Dryer vent cleaning (single run) | $135 - $210 |
| Long or multi-story dryer vent runs | $220 - $340 |

| Mold or mildew treatment in ducts (light to moderate) | $300 - $600 |
| Crawlspace duct section replacement | $800 - $1,400 |
Prices in Brisbane push toward the upper end of these ranges when ducts run through steep, unconditioned hillside crawlspaces that slow access, or when fog-driven moisture has degraded liners enough to require section replacement. Every job gets a written price before any work begins – one flat system price, not a per-vent quote that changes when the van pulls up.

What Brisbane 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."
