Every job starts and ends with a camera inspection, so you see what we see, not just take our word for it. The price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice. No coupons that evaporate at the door. No upsells once we’re in your crawl space.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job. If something isn’t right, we return at no charge. No paperwork to file, no arguments to have. We stand behind it because we’ve stood behind it since 2012.

Air Duct Cleaning Services We Offer in Mission District
Air Duct Cleaning
We clean supply and return ductwork in Mission District’s Victorian and Edwardian flats, where retrofitted systems run through original floor cavities and wall chases never designed for airflow. Our camera inspection identifies debris-trapping dead zones before we start. Learn more about our Air Duct Cleaning in Mission District.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and older Mission District buildings with longer vent runs face elevated risk. We clear the full run from appliance to termination. Learn more about our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mission District.
HVAC Cleaning
Coils, blower assemblies, and plenums in Mission District’s retrofitted systems collect demolition dust from decades of renovations plus the usual particulate load. We clean the full air handling unit, not just the ducts. Learn more about our HVAC Cleaning in Mission District.
Duct Repair & Sealing
Unsealed joints at subfloor level let rodents enter and conditioned air escape. We repair disconnected runs and seal leaks with materials rated for the temperature swings these old systems see. Learn more about our Duct Repair & Sealing in Mission District.
Air Quality & Sanitizing
For homes with persistent odors, visible mold, or post-renovation particulate, we apply EPA-registered sanitizers after mechanical cleaning. We target the biological growth that marine moisture fosters in poorly sealed Mission District duct systems with Air Quality & Sanitizing in Mission District.

Why Mission District’s Climate & Housing Affect Air Duct Cleaning
The Mission District sits in a fog-sheltered valley between Twin Peaks and Bernal Heights, which makes it one of San Francisco’s warmer, sunnier neighborhoods during the day. But that marine moisture still rolls in at night and lingers through the shoulder seasons. Older duct systems retrofitted through original fir-floor cavities and interior wall chases weren’t designed to stay dry. The joints leak, condensation forms inside the runs, and mold takes hold where homeowners can’t see it.
The housing stock tells its own story. Most Mission District buildings went up between 1890 and 1915 as two- and three-unit Victorian and Edwardian flats. Central heating arrived decades later, installed by cutting through crawl spaces, floor joist bays, and wall chases that were never meant to carry air. The result is tortured duct geometry with excessive bends and inaccessible joints. Debris accumulates. Rodents enter through gaps at the subfloor level. Our technicians routinely find nesting material, droppings, and occasionally carcasses in crawl spaces that haven’t been opened in 40-plus years. The neighborhood’s dense urban rodent population and abundance of unrenovated century-old crawl spaces make this a failure mode we see in Mission District more than almost anywhere else we work.
Then there’s the renovation layer. Successive waves of gentrification-era gut renovations have loaded these same old ducts with drywall dust and demolition particulate. A standard filter change won’t touch it. The debris sits in dead zones created by awkward retrofits, recirculating every time the system runs.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Mission District
Most standard jobs in Mission District’s two- and three-unit Victorian flats run $350-$550, with complex retrofits or multiple returns reaching $750. We disclose the exact price before starting, and estimates are free. Call (844) 685-6342 for a quote tailored to your building.
Every 3-5 years for most homes, but Mission District’s combination of century-old retrofitted systems, renovation debris, and marine moisture means many buildings benefit from inspection every 2-3 years. If you’ve completed major construction, noticed persistent odors, or seen visible mold, schedule sooner. Call (844) 685-6342 and we’ll assess whether you’re due.
Yes. Our technicians are trained specifically for the fragile conditions in Mission District Victorians, where ducts run through original plaster and fir framing. We use professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment with adjustable suction and soft-bristle contact to avoid disturbing aging materials. Camera inspection before we start confirms the duct condition and routing.
Marine moisture penetrates Mission District’s poorly sealed retrofitted ducts at night, especially in buildings with crawl spaces that haven’t been opened in decades. Condensation plus organic debris equals mold and mildew growth inside the system. A standard filter change won’t reach it. We clean the full duct run and can apply EPA-registered sanitizer where biological growth is present.
Repair and sealing is almost always the more practical choice in Mission District’s protected housing stock, where full replacement would require destructive access through original plaster and fir floors. We seal leaks with materials rated for these systems’ temperature swings and repair disconnected runs without unnecessary demolition. For an honest assessment of your specific building, call (844) 685-6342 for a free estimate.
