Air Duct Cleaning Company in Lafayette, CA
Air duct repair in Lafayette solves a problem this hillside town creates faster than almost anywhere else in the East Bay: aging ductwork constantly fed by oak pollen, wildfire ash, and Diablo wind dust. Homes here split between original 1950s-70s galvanized systems now leaking at the seams and newer custom builds with long zoned runs that hide damage until airflow drops. Everclear Air Duct Cleaning has served Lafayette since 2017, and we bring Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro HEPA filtration to every repair job so the fix holds and the air stays clean. Call (833) 620-5944 for a straight assessment of your system.
Why Lafayette Homes Are Different
Lafayette’s mix of flat downtown lots and steep hillside parcels means no two duct systems age the same way. In Burton Valley and the downtown flats, mid-century ranch homes still run their original galvanized ductwork. Fifty or sixty years of thermal expansion has loosened joints, and fine Diablo Valley dust has packed into every seam. In Springhill and Reliez Valley, newer custom homes have multiple zones with long flex-duct runs snaking through attics that hit 140 degrees in August. Those runs sag, kink, and separate at collars, bleeding conditioned air into dead attic space.
The climate compounds both problems. Hot, dry summers pull dust and oak pollen into return air intakes, especially on lots that back up to open space. Winter rains push moisture into crawl spaces, and that humidity finds its way into ductwork where it feeds rust on metal and mold on flex liner. And when wildfire smoke settles over the Lamorinda hills, fine ash gets pulled through the system and trapped in joints, filters, and coils. Homes here need equipment built for exactly those conditions, not a quick pass with a shop vac.

Our Main Lafayette Services
Two calls dominate the phone lines from Lafayette homeowners: one for a full system cleaning, one for a dryer vent that hasn’t been touched since the house was built. Here’s how each works here.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lafayette
Lafayette’s oak canopies and wildfire seasons load ductwork with pollen, ash, and fine dust that settles deep in return runs and supply branches. Our cleaning uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with Nikro HEPA-rated vacuums to physically agitate and extract that debris from every accessible run. We also check loose joints during the clean, because a system that’s been leaking for a decade doesn’t get clean by suction alone. Details, pricing, and what to expect are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Lafayette page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lafayette
Hillside homes in Lafayette often route dryer vents through long, multi-turn runs to reach an exterior wall, and those runs are fire hazards when lint accumulates. We clean the full vent path from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, not just the visible four feet behind the appliance. It’s a safety service first, and an efficiency one second. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lafayette for the full scope, signs, and cost range.
Air Duct Repair in Lafayette
Air duct repair in Lafayette means finding where conditioned air is escaping through failed joints, separated collars, collapsed flex runs, or rusted-out galvanized sections. Homes built between the 1950s and 1970s in downtown and Burton Valley have ductwork that’s outlived its design life, while hillside custom homes in Springhill and Reliez Valley often have zoned systems with duct runs that settle and separate. The result in both cases is the same: rooms that never reach the thermostat setting, dust around registers, and an HVAC system working harder than it should. Air Duct Repair is the service that fixes the system rather than masking its symptoms.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
Rooms that stay hot or cold regardless of thermostat setting, visible dust around specific registers, collapsing flex duct in the attic, and energy bills that creep up year over year.
What it costs in Lafayette
Ductwork repair in Lafayette typically runs $150 to $450 per run depending on accessibility, with whole-system repair jobs starting around $600.
How we do it
We locate the failed joints and separated sections with a system inspection, then seal and reconnect using mastic, metal tape, and replacement collars while the system is depressurized.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Rusted-out galvanized ducts, flex runs with torn inner liners, sections flattened by attic traffic or storage, and systems too degraded for spot repair to be cost-effective.
What it costs in Lafayette
Air duct replacement in Lafayette starts around $2,000 for a partial system and can exceed $5,000 for full replacement in larger two-story homes with zoned runs.
How we do it
We remove the failed duct sections, size and fit new galvanized or flex duct to the existing trunk lines and registers, then seal every connection and test airflow at each grill.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Lafayette
| Item | Typical range in Lafayette |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (per run) | $150 – $450 |
| Partial duct replacement | $2,000 – $3,500 |
| Full system replacement | $3,500 – $5,000+ |
How do I know if my Lafayette home needs duct repair or just cleaning?
If airflow is weak in specific rooms even after a cleaning, the problem is mechanical, not debris. Loose joints, separated collars, and collapsed flex runs won’t improve with more cleaning. We diagnose before we recommend anything.
Can old galvanized ducts in a Lafayette ranch home be repaired or do they need full replacement?
Many 1950s-70s galvanized systems are worth repairing if the metal is intact and only joints have failed. Our inspection tells you which sections need replacement and which just need resealing.

In Lafayette, two factors push pricing upward: hillside crawl spaces and long attic runs that take longer to access, and homes with multiple HVAC zones that effectively double the linear footage. You’ll know your exact price before we start, not after. One flat price per system, agreed to in writing before any work begins.

What Lafayette Customers Say
"Did the dryer vent while they were here for a small add on price. The dryer now finishes a load in one cycle instead of two."
- Javier Morales"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."
