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 Citrus Heights, CA
Air duct cleaning in Citrus Heights means working on homes that are almost all between 40 and 65 years old, with original forced-air systems that have weathered decades of Sacramento Valley heat, wildfire smoke, and winter tule fog. Most houses along Greenback Lane and Auburn Boulevard were built with fiberglass duct board or early flex duct, neither of which was designed to last this long. That changes almost everything about how the job goes. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll explain exactly what’s needed for your home.
Why Citrus Heights Homes Are Different
Citrus Heights was built out during the single-family tract boom from roughly 1958 through the early 1980s, and the ductwork in those homes is now at the point where material failure, not just dust accumulation, is the real issue. Fiberglass duct board thermally cycles through Sacramento’s 100°F-plus summers, and after five or six decades the inner liner begins delaminating and shedding glass fibers into the airstream. Early-generation flex duct sags between supports, tears at the seams, and lets attic air pull straight into the conditioned space. Our technicians working near Sylvan Corners and Sunrise Boulevard find this damage far more often than in newer Sacramento suburbs where flex duct replaced duct board as the builder standard.
Wildfire smoke from El Dorado, Placer, and Nevada County fires sits over the area every summer and fall, and those fine particulates get pulled through aging ducts that are already compromised. Then the winter tule fog periods bring short humidity spikes that let moisture into torn or poorly sealed sections, which is where mold starts in fiberglass liner material. A forty-year-old duct system running through that cycle every year is carrying a lot more than household dust.
Our Main Citrus Heights Services
Citrus Heights homeowners call us for two things, and each has its own dedicated page with local pricing, timelines, and what to expect on the day of the job.
Air Duct Cleaning in Citrus Heights
Full-system air duct cleaning in Citrus Heights starts with an inspection of the supply and return runs, with close attention to the fiberglass duct board and early flex duct that dominate this housing stock. Loose insulation that has settled against duct seams in attics is a recurring issue here, and it pulls into the system through cracks that have opened over decades of thermal expansion. We use negative-air extraction to pull loosened debris out of the home while brush agitation breaks material free at the duct wall. The full scope, local pricing, and what you should know before booking are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Citrus Heights page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus Heights
Dryer vents in Citrus Heights tract homes run short in single-story floor plans but stretch long and route through attics in the larger two-story models built in the 1970s. Those long runs collect lint that gets damp during the Valley’s fog cycles, hardens against the vent wall, and slowly chokes airflow. When the vent can’t exhaust properly, every load takes longer to dry and the dryer itself runs hotter. Our techs clean from the dryer connection to the exterior termination and check airflow at both ends. Details and Lime Kitchener pricing are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus Heights page.

What pushes the number higher in Citrus Heights is the condition of the original ductwork, not the square footage of the house. Duct board that has delaminated, flex duct that has sagged, and registers that have been painted shut over decades all add labor time. Whatever the scope, the written price is in your hand before any work starts, and it doesn’t change when the crew arrives.

What Citrus Heights 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."
