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 Larkfield-Wikiup, CA
Air duct cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup is not routine maintenance. This community sat at the center of the 2017 Tubbs Fire, and the ductwork in surviving homes often still carries the particulate signature of that October. Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning approaches every Larkfield-Wikiup job as a post-fire particulate remediation project first, because that’s what the housing stock and the air conditions here demand. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Larkfield-Wikiup Homes Are Different
Larkfield-Wikiup sits on the Santa Rosa Plain, a geography that traps wildfire smoke rolling in from the surrounding hills during California’s annual fire season. When the AQI spikes, residents close windows and recirculate indoor air through HVAC systems for days at a time. That recirculation systematically loads ducts with fine particulates season after season. Homes here fall into two camps: pre-1960s ranch and tract homes that survived the Tubbs Fire, many still running original or partially updated flex ductwork in crawlspaces, and a wave of homes rebuilt between 2018 and 2022 that carry their own problem: post-construction drywall dust and debris inside brand-new duct systems. On fire-adjacent survivor homes, especially in the Larkfield Estates pocket off Bicentennial Way, we routinely find gray-black ash residue coating interior duct surfaces and filter boxes. It’s a visible marker of October 2017 that no amount of pollen or cooking grease would produce. The wet winters add another layer: lower-lying parcels near Mark West Creek can see moisture enter crawlspace ductwork, creating mold risk inside unsealed flex ducts. None of this is generic. It’s specific to Larkfield-Wikiup, and it changes how the work should be done.
Our Main Larkfield-Wikiup Services
Larkfield-Wikiup homeowners call us most about two things: the ductwork moving air through their homes, and the dryer vents that need to exhaust properly. Each service has its own detailed Larkfield-Wikiup page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup
We pull the registers, agitate the duct walls with a Rotobrush rotary brush system, and run Nikro negative-pressure extraction to pull loosened debris out of the house rather than blowing it around. In Larkfield-Wikiup, we’re often removing post-fire ash, not just household dust. For older survivor homes, that means checking crawlspace flex duct for the gray-black residue that signals Tubbs Fire exposure. Air Duct Cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup covers the full process, local pricing, and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup
We clean the full dryer vent run from the appliance to the exterior termination point, including the lint trap bypass that most homeowners never see. The 1960s-1980s homes in Larkfield-Wikiup often have long vent runs through crawlspaces or walls, which collect lint faster than shorter modern runs. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Larkfield-Wikiup explains the job from start to finish.

What Larkfield-Wikiup 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."
