Air Duct Cleaning Company in San Gabriel, CA
Air duct cleaning in San Gabriel is a different job than it is in most neighboring cities, and the reason comes down to the housing stock. Many of the homes here, especially in the Mission District and the pre-1970 neighborhoods around it, still run original metal ductwork through raised foundation crawl spaces. Those ducts have been collecting dry San Gabriel Valley dust for sixty to ninety years. Hollis Air Duct Pasadena cleans them with commercial-grade negative-air machines and rotary brush systems, writes the price down before we start, and backs the work with a 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (626) 469-5477 for a written quote.
Most San Gabriel homeowners get their first real look at what is inside their ducts after years of running air conditioning through hot, dry summers. What they find is usually not pretty: a half-inch of fine grit, pet hair worked into the seams, and the kind of dust that Santa Ana winds push through every gap in a raised foundation. Those variables make professional equipment, not a shop vac, the difference between a job that holds up and one that just rearranges the dust. Each of our main San Gabriel services has its own page with full detail, linked below.
Why San Gabriel Homes Are Different
San Gabriel has two very different housing profiles side by side. The first is the 1920s through 1950s single-family stock, much of it around the Mission District and the neighborhoods branching off Las Tunas Drive and Mission Road. These homes sit on raised foundations, which means the ductwork runs through a crawl space that nobody has inspected in years. We routinely find disconnected joints, rodent debris, and dust packed so thick it has hardened. The second profile is the post-1970s tract development, where ducts are newer but often undersized and leaky because they were original to the build.
Climate plays a direct role here too. San Gabriel summers are dry and hot, and many residents run air conditioning from June through October. That means the same air is being pulled through the ducts over and over, recirculating whatever sat in the crawl space all winter. When Santa Ana winds kick up, they push fine, gritty dust into homes around windows, doors, and floor registers. In older homes with floor registers that were never upgraded after carpet changes, that grit and pet hair gets ground into the register boots and needs real agitation to remove, not just vacuuming. These are the conditions that make a deep cleaning in San Gabriel a different scope of work than a standard job in a newer city.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main San Gabriel Services
These are the three jobs San Gabriel homeowners call us about most often, each with its own dedicated page and its own pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Gabriel
This is a full-system cleaning using negative-air extraction and rotary brush agitation: we put the ductwork under vacuum and mechanically scrub the interior walls, then remove the debris at the source rather than pushing it into your living space. In San Gabriel’s raised-foundation homes, we pay particular attention to the supply and return runs that pass through the crawl space, where decades of dust and construction debris accumulate. See Air Duct Cleaning in San Gabriel for process detail and pricing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Gabriel
Lint builds up in dryer vents over time, and in San Gabriel’s older homes the vent run is often long, narrow, and routed through a crawl space with multiple bends. That makes the restriction worse and the fire risk real. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination using professional rotary brushes and negative air, then confirm airflow at the termination point. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Gabriel for specific pricing.
Duct Sealing in San Gabriel
Older San Gabriel homes rarely have sealed ductwork. Joints pull apart in crawl spaces, return plenums leak, and the system ends up heating or cooling the crawl space instead of the living room. We seal accessible joints and connections with duct sealing mastic, then test the pressure difference so you can see what changed. This is not a coating; it is a mechanical repair at the points where air escapes. See Duct Sealing in San Gabriel for the full scope.

Our pricing is written down before any work begins, one flat price for the whole system, and it does not move once the technician is inside your home.
