Air Duct Cleaning Company in SoMa, CA
Air duct repair in SoMa usually means working on shared rooftop systems, exposed spiral ductwork in converted lofts, and runs that cross tenant boundaries inside old masonry buildings. Most calls come from property managers, HOA boards, and owners of live/work units who’ve noticed weak airflow, visible gaps in duct seams, or dust that keeps returning no matter how often the space gets cleaned. Everclear Air Duct Cleaning has served SoMa since 2017, and our work here centers on sealing, replacing, and repairing metal duct systems inside buildings that demand commercial-grade tools and a careful hand. Call (833) 620-5944 if you suspect your building’s ductwork is leaking or failing.
Why SoMa Homes Are Different
SoMa’s housing stock is nothing like the Sunset or Noe Valley. The district is dense with early-1900s masonry warehouses and industrial buildings converted into live/work lofts and offices, plus newer mid- and high-rise residential towers. Nearly all of it is served by rooftop packaged units and exposed or ceiling-concealed metal ductwork, not residential forced-air systems. That means a single rooftop unit often feeds ducts running down through multiple floors and tenant spaces, which changes how repair jobs get diagnosed and quoted.
The climate adds another layer. SoMa sits in San Francisco’s fog belt with cool, damp marine air and onshore wind nearly year-round. Ducts and rooftop units see persistent moisture and salt-laden air that encourage corrosion at seams and joints, especially on older galvanized steel. The mild climate means heating and cooling run lightly, but ventilation systems in converted warehouses and office buildings often run almost continuously, so leaks and disconnected sections waste conditioned air day and night. Building shells were never designed for modern air distribution, so retrofit ductwork tends to be improvised, undersized, or patched together across decades of tenant improvements. When we open a chase or plenum in SoMa, we expect to find a history of previous work, some of it done well and some of it barely holding together.

Our Main SoMa Services
Two services cover most of what SoMa property owners and managers call us about: full-system cleaning for ducts that haven’t been touched since the building was converted, and dryer vent work in multi-story buildings where long vertical runs create a real fire-safety concern.
Air Duct Cleaning in SoMa
Duct cleaning in SoMa is rarely a simple residential job. Our crews work in converted warehouses with exposed spiral ductwork, mid-rise towers with ceiling-concealed metal runs, and office floors where construction dust from constant infill and build-outs works its way into every register. We run professional-grade Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA-rated vacuum equipment through the full run, not just the registers, and we use Abatement Technologies negative air containment so dislodged debris stays captured rather than recirculating into living and working spaces. Air Duct Cleaning in SoMa covers the full scope, including coil cleaning on rooftop units that see salt fog year-round.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in SoMa
Dryer vents in SoMa’s converted lofts and apartment towers often run long distances from laundry closets to the roof or an exterior wall, and lint accumulates fast in those long vertical runs. That’s a leading residential fire hazard, and it’s why we treat dryer vent cleaning as a fire-safety service, not a comfort add-on. Our crews use professional-grade rotary brushes and HEPA filtration to pull compacted lint out of the entire run, and we document the before-and-after so you can see the difference. Dryer Vent Cleaning in SoMa includes full-run inspection and, when needed, repair of damaged or poorly routed vent sections.
Air Duct Repair in SoMa
Air duct repair in SoMa generally means correcting leaks, disconnections, and corrosion in metal duct systems that run through old masonry chases and across rooftops exposed to salt fog. Most buildings here predate modern air distribution standards, and decades of tenant renovations have left behind ductwork that’s patched, undersized, or separated at the joints. Everclear Air Duct Cleaning has served SoMa since 2017, and our repair work covers the full scope: Air Duct Repair from sealing and reconnecting to full replacement of failed sections.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
You notice weak airflow from some registers while others blow hard, dust accumulating on surfaces no matter how often you clean, or musty air that comes and goes.
What it costs in SoMa
Ductwork repair in SoMa typically runs $250 to $800 per section, depending on access, duct size, and how much disassembly the chase requires.
How we do it
We locate the leak or disconnection, seal joints with mastic and metal tape, replace damaged sections, and test airflow before we close the access panel.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Duct sections are rusted through at the seams, crushed or kinked, or lined with contamination that won’t come out with cleaning.
What it costs in SoMa
Air duct replacement in SoMa ranges from $600 to $1,800 per run, based on linear footage, duct gauge, and whether we’re working exposed or concealed.
How we do it
We remove the failed section, fabricate or order a correctly sized replacement, hang and seal it properly, and confirm balanced airflow at every register.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in SoMa
| Item | Typical range in SoMa |
|---|---|
| Ductwork sealing and joint repair | $250 – $800 per section |
| Air duct replacement | $600 – $1,800 per run |
| Full-system duct evaluation | $150 – $350 |
Can you repair ductwork without opening walls in SoMa?
Often, yes. Most repairs in SoMa buildings happen inside existing chases, closets, or ceiling plenums that already have access panels. We work from those openings whenever possible, and wall demo is rare.
Why do ducts in SoMa buildings corrode faster than elsewhere?
Salt-laden fog and damp marine air sit on rooftop units and exposed metal ducts year-round. Over time, that moisture corrodes galvanized steel at seams and joints, especially on older warehouse conversions near the water.
Brands We Service in SoMa
We work on all major duct system components and stock Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration products locally for quick installation. Our brands page covers replacement parts and filtration upgrades we can install the same visit we repair your ducts.

What SoMa Customers Say
"Two guys, about three hours, plastic down at every register, and they wiped the vent covers before putting them back."
- Diego Delgado"Ran a negative air machine on the whole system rather than the shop vac on a stick that the cheap outfit down the road uses. Showed me the before and after photos from inside the trunk line and it was genuinely disgusting."
- Paul Schaefer"Quoted per system rather than the bait and switch per vent pricing everybody else in town uses. The number I was told on the phone was the number on the invoice."
