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 in Florence-Graham, CA
Dryer vent cleaning in Florence-Graham is a more urgent job than in most of LA County because the neighborhood sits next to Vernon’s industrial corridor and under one of the worst CalEnviroScreen pollution-burden scores in the state. Homes here, mostly 1940s-1960s stucco bungalows with retrofitted forced-air systems, pull particulate-heavy air through undersized returns and aging ducts on every cooling cycle. That combination means lint, diesel soot, and industrial dust build up faster here, and the work has to account for it. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before anything comes off the wall.
Why Florence-Graham Homes Are Different
Florence-Graham is bracketed by the I-110 freeway and sits directly adjacent to Vernon, one of the most industrially dense incorporated cities in California. The air here carries diesel soot, heavy-metal dust, and industrial particulate at ground level, and LA Basin inversions trap it at rooftop height for days at a time. That means the air being pulled into return vents is measurably dirtier than in most of the metro, and duct systems in this community collect that load every time the AC runs. Standard 3-to-5-year cleaning intervals are dangerously long here.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most Florence-Graham homes are post-WWII stucco bungalows or small multi-unit buildings from the 1940s through 1960s, built without central HVAC and retrofitted later. Those retrofit installations typically have undersized return chases, disconnected flex-duct joints hidden in low attic cavities, and no dedicated air filtration. East of Hooper Avenue especially, technicians routinely find original sheet-metal trunk lines running through attic spaces that hit 130-140°F in summer, which degrades flex-duct inner liners and sheds fiberglass fibers directly into the supply airstream.
Our Main Florence-Graham Services
Two services get the most calls from Florence-Graham homeowners: full air duct cleaning and complete HVAC cleaning. Each has its own dedicated page for this city because the jobs are big enough to warrant it.
Air Duct Cleaning in Florence-Graham
Full-system air duct cleaning in Florence-Graham means negative-pressure extraction on every supply and return run, not just the registers you can see. The camera work matters more here than in most cities because the industrial load from Vernon and the I-110 means debris compacts at elbows and in low attic chases, where it resists a simple brush pass. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Florence-Graham page.
HVAC Cleaning in Florence-Graham
HVAC cleaning in Florence-Graham targets the plenum, blower assembly, evaporator coil, and the duct runs connected to them. Because many homes here run their AC harder than coastal LA neighborhoods, the coil and blower pick up the same diesel soot and industrial particulate that clog the ducts themselves. See the complete scope and pricing on our HVAC Cleaning in Florence-Graham page.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Florence-Graham
Dryer vent cleaning in Florence-Graham deals with a specific combination: long retrofit vent runs through confined attic or wall chases, high summer temperatures that bake lint into a hard crust, and ambient industrial particulate from Vernon and the I-110 adding weight to every lint buildup. The result is vents that clog faster here and fires that become a real risk sooner than in coastal neighborhoods. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning process starts with a camera inspection so you can see exactly what’s in the run before we quote a dollar figure.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take longer than 40 minutes to dry, the dryer exterior feels unusually hot, or you smell a musty burning odor during a cycle.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
A camera inspection runs $49-$99, and we credit that full amount toward any cleaning work.
How we do it
We feed a camera through the entire vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, photographing every elbow and the exit point, then give you a written price based on what the camera actually shows.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
Visible lint at the exterior vent flap, longer dry times, or a burning smell with the dryer on high heat.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Standard vent cleaning runs $89-$179 for a typical single-family run in Florence-Graham, with longer multi-story runs priced after inspection.
How we do it
We run a motorized brush with HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extraction through the full run, then photograph the interior again so you can see the result.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
The dryer is hot to the touch after a cycle, the lint trap is clean but drying is still slow, or visible lint drops from the vent hood outside.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Lint removal is priced with vent cleaning at $89-$179 for the full run, with no separate per-foot charge.
How we do it
We clear the full run from inside to outside, removing the hard-packed lint crust common in Florence-Graham’s hot retrofit chases, not just the loose material near the appliance.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
Your current vent run is longer than 35 feet, makes more than two elbows, or passes through an inaccessible wall cavity.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Rerouting starts at $150-$350 depending on the new path length, materials, and exterior termination point.
How we do it
We design a shorter, more direct route, replace any sagging flex with rigid duct, and document the new run with before-and-after photos.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You hear scratching or chirping near the vent, see nesting material at the exterior hood, or find debris in the vent that looks like twigs and grass.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Bird guard installation runs $60-$120, including the guard and secure mounting.
How we do it
We clear any nesting material, clean the termination point, and mount a screened guard that keeps birds and rodents out without restricting airflow.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Florence-Graham
| Item | Typical range in Florence-Graham |
|---|---|
| Camera inspection | $49-$99 (credited toward any cleaning) |
| Vent cleaning with lint removal | $89-$179 |
| Vent rerouting | $150-$350 |
How often does a dryer vent really need cleaning in Florence-Graham?
Every 12 months at minimum, and some homes near heavy truck traffic on the I-110 need it every 6 to 9 months. The industrial particulate load from Vernon shortens the safe interval measurably. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll inspect yours and give you a written recommendation.
Why is my dryer vent clogging so fast here?
The ambient diesel soot and industrial dust from Vernon and freeway traffic add weight to every lint buildup. Hot attic chases east of Hooper Avenue also bake lint into a crust that resists normal airflow and traps more material. Our camera inspection shows you exactly what your vent is holding.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Florence-Graham
Duct repair and sealing in Florence-Graham usually means fixing the failures in those 1950s and 1960s retrofit installations: disconnected flex-duct joints in low attic cavities, degraded inner liners from 130-140°F summer attic heat, and original sheet-metal trunks that leak air into unconditioned spaces. Every repair starts with a camera inspection so you can see the actual failure before a written price is set. Our Duct Repair & Sealing work is documented with before-and-after photos of every run, not just the one we fix.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms at the end of a run stay warm in summer, your energy bill climbs each year, or you can feel air moving in the attic or crawlspace.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Duct sealing runs $200-$500 per project, depending on the number of accessible joints and the total linear footage.
How we do it
We locate each leak with a pressure test or smoke pencil, clean the joint, and apply mastic sealant that hardens over the gap, then photograph every sealed joint.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You see fiberglass fibers at the registers, hear air hissing inside a wall or ceiling, or a section of flex duct is visibly collapsed in the attic.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Flex duct repair ranges $150-$400 for a single replacement section, with longer runs priced after inspection.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged or degraded section, install new flex sized for the run, reconnect both ends with proper fittings, and seal every joint with mastic.
Metal Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Your home has original sheet-metal trunk lines, you feel weak airflow from multiple registers, or the ductwork is visibly separating at a seam.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Metal duct repair runs $250-$600 per project, based on the number of seams and the accessibility of the trunk line.
How we do it
We rejoin separated seams, replace corroded sections where needed, and seal the repaired trunk with mastic so it holds under Florence-Graham’s summer heat load.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
The attic is uninsulated or under-insulated, conditioned air feels warm by the time it reaches distant registers, or condensation forms on duct exteriors in summer.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Duct insulation runs $300-$700 for standard single-family homes, depending on the linear footage and R-value required.
How we do it
We wrap or replace insulation on all accessible runs with R-8 rated material suited to attic temps that routinely exceed 130°F in Florence-Graham summers.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
Joints show cracked or peeling old tape, you feel air leaking at connections, or the HVAC system is losing enough air that rooms never reach set temperature.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Mastic sealant application runs $150-$350 for a standard residential system.
How we do it
We remove deteriorating tape, clean each joint, brush on mastic that cures into a solid seal, and photograph the finished work as part of your job record.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Florence-Graham
| Item | Typical range in Florence-Graham |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing | $200-$500 |
| Flex duct repair | $150-$400 |
| Metal duct repair | $250-$600 |
Why does my Florence-Graham home have so many duct leaks?
Most of the forced-air systems here were retrofitted into 1940s-1960s homes that were never designed for them. The retrofit chases are undersized, the joints were often taped rather than mastic-sealed, and 130°F attic heat breaks down flex liners fast. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you via camera exactly which joints are leaking.
Can duct sealing actually lower my cooling bill here?
Yes, and the effect is bigger in Florence-Graham than in coastal LA because summer AC runtime is longer. When conditioned air leaks into a hot attic, the system runs harder to hold set temperature. Sealed ducts mean the air you pay to cool reaches the rooms.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Florence-Graham
Air quality work in Florence-Graham addresses what the neighborhood’s outdoor air leaves inside the duct system: diesel soot from the I-110 corridor, industrial particulate from Vernon, and in many homes mold or bacteria that took hold in warm, humid duct interiors. Because the homes here were built without dedicated filtration and retrofitted with undersized returns, the supply airstream carries whatever accumulated in the trunk lines. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service documents what the camera and testing find, applies treatment, then documents what remains.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You see dark staining around registers or inside visible ductwork, smell a persistent musty odor, or household members have unexplained respiratory irritation.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Mold treatment runs $300-$700 for a typical single-family system, depending on the affected square footage and treatment method.
How we do it
We photograph the affected areas, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to the duct interior and surrounding plenum, and leave the system to dry before re-photographing every treated surface.
Bacteria Sanitizing
Signs you need it
The system has carried moisture, there is a recurring odor that is more sour than musty, or the home has had a recent illness that spread quickly.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Bacteria sanitizing runs $200-$450 for a full duct system treatment.
How we do it
We fog a sanitizing agent through the duct runs while the system circulates, then document the application and provide a written treatment record.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Persistent cooking, smoke, or chemical odors return as soon as the blower runs, or the home smells different when the HVAC has been off for a day.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Odor removal runs $250-$500, often combined with a full cleaning for best effect.
How we do it
We identify the odor source with a camera inspection, clean the affected runs, and apply an odor-neutralizing treatment rather than a masking fragrance, then document the result.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
The evaporator coil has visible microbial growth, the home has repeat mold or bacteria problems, or a household member has a condition that makes airborne pathogens risky.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
UV light installation runs $400-$900 including the unit and professional mounting at the coil or plenum.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp where it reaches the coil and the air passing over it, wire it to run with the blower, and photograph the installation as part of your record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Florence-Graham
| Item | Typical range in Florence-Graham |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $300-$700 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $200-$450 |
| UV light installation | $400-$900 |
Will sanitizing my ducts actually make a difference with Florence-Graham’s outdoor air?
It reduces what the duct system adds to the air you breathe indoors. It cannot change what comes through open windows, but treated ducts and a clean coil mean the HVAC stops redistributing accumulated particulate and microbial growth. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
How do I know sanitizing was actually done?
You receive a documented photo record of every treated run, before and after, plus a written treatment log showing what was applied and where. CleanRun has delivered that documentation on every job since the company’s first one in 2013.
