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 Pleasanton, CA
Air duct cleaning in Pleasanton runs $425 to $780 for a full system on most homes, with larger two-story properties in Ruby Hill or Vintage Hills landing between $650 and $1,000. Pleasanton jobs are shaped by one thing more than any other: the Amador Valley’s inland heat, which bakes attic ductwork year after year and ages it faster than what coastal Bay Area homes experience. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we answer the phone with a live person any time you call (469) 972-3151.
Why Pleasanton Homes Are Different
Pleasanton sits in the Amador Valley, where summer attic temperatures routinely pass 130 to 140°F. That’s hotter than Fremont, hotter than Hayward, and far hotter than any coastal Alameda County city. The flexible ductwork installed during the city’s big 1980s and 90s tract-home buildout has now spent 30 to 40 summers baking in that heat. What we pull out of Pleasanton ducts reflects it: delaminated liner pieces, collapsed sections, and fine insulation fibers that worked their way into supply air after the outer wrap cracked apart.
The valley’s bowl geography adds a second layer. Wildfire smoke settles into Pleasanton and hangs there during inversions, while particulate from the Central Valley funnels through the Altamont Pass corridor and drifts down into the valley. Homes in Vintage Hills, the Mohr area, and Ruby Hill collect more fine ash and agricultural dust inside return-air ductwork than houses ten miles west. A scope inspection before cleaning isn’t an upsell here; it’s how we confirm what the ducts actually look like before we touch them.
Our Main Pleasanton Services
Pleasanton homeowners call us most often about two jobs: cleaning the HVAC duct system and clearing dryer vents. Each has its own Pleasanton page with full detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pleasanton
Cleaning the full HVAC duct system in Pleasanton means removing the dust, ash, and delaminated liner debris that bake inside attic-routed flex duct over decades of inland heat. Our techs use a Rotobrush rotary brush to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then pull it out with a Nikro negative-pressure unit so it doesn’t recirculate into your living space. Homes in Vintage Hills and the Mohr neighborhoods routinely show collapsed duct sections we can identify on scope before cleaning starts. For full detail on equipment, process, and pricing, see Air Duct Cleaning in Pleasanton.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pleasanton
Dryer vents clog faster in Pleasanton than homeowners expect, partly because lint combines with the fine Valley dust that settles everywhere indoors during fire season and fog inversions. We clean the full vent run from dryer to exterior termination, including the lint trap bypass, which is the section of duct that connects the dryer to the wall and is often skipped in cheap cleanings. Every job includes a written price before work begins and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pleasanton for full scope and pricing.

What Pleasanton Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
