Air Duct Cleaning Company in Pajaro, CA
Air duct repair in Pajaro usually means fixing ductwork that has been damaged by moisture, flood silt, or simply decades of coastal air working on older metal and early flex systems. Homes here sit on a river floodplain with a high water table, so the job often starts with finding where ducts have sagged, separated, or trapped debris from past storms. Duct Cleaning Gilroy handles the repair, cleaning, and dryer vent work as one focused trade. Call (833) 589-9833 for a free estimate and we’ll send a technician who knows what Pajaro ductwork actually looks like.
Why Pajaro Homes Are Different
Pajaro is a low-lying community on the Pajaro River floodplain, surrounded by strawberry and lettuce fields that generate fine agricultural dust most of the year. That dust settles into return registers and gets pulled through duct systems that, in many of the older single-story stucco and wood-frame homes here, date back to the mid-20th century. The ductwork in those homes is frequently galvanized steel or early flexible duct that traps debris at every bend and joint.
Then there is the flooding. When winter storms push the river over its banks, water moves through crawlspaces and into floor registers in the lowest-lying blocks. The silt left behind dries into a fine powder, but the moisture also encourages mold and mildew inside buried flex runs. A standard suburban dust load does not explain what we find in Pajaro ducts. Flood silt and field dust do. Technicians who work this area learn to check the lowest register runs first, because that is where flood debris tends to settle and where mold growth is most likely after a wet winter.

Our Main Pajaro Services
Most Pajaro homeowners call us for two reasons: duct systems fouled by agricultural dust and flood moisture, and dryer vents that no longer exhaust properly. Both are covered below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pajaro
We clean ducts with Rotobrush contact-cleaning equipment, which physically scrubs the duct wall instead of just blowing air through the system. In Pajaro, that matters because the debris is often caked-on field dust and dried flood silt, not loose household dust. Our Nikro HEPA vacuum runs the entire time so loosened material is captured, not recirculated into your living space. We also inspect for moisture damage while we work, because older flex duct in low-lying homes often hides problems behind the registers. Air Duct Cleaning in Pajaro covers the full process and what to expect on the day of the job.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pajaro
Dryer vents in Pajaro clog with a mix of lint and the same field dust that gets into everything else along the floodplain. When the vent cannot exhaust, the dryer runs longer, temperatures rise inside the vent line, and the fire risk climbs. We clear the full vent run, measure airflow, and confirm the termination point actually exhausts before we leave. A blocked dryer vent is not a minor inconvenience, it is a leading household fire hazard. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pajaro explains how we test and what airflow numbers mean.
Air Duct Repair in Pajaro
Air duct repair in Pajaro is often less about age and more about what the river and the coastal climate have done to the system. Older galvanized ducts corrode slowly in damp crawlspaces, and early flex duct sags, separates, or tears under its own weight when moisture weakens the outer jacket. After a flood cycle, we find buried flex runs full of dried silt, crushed sections, and disconnected joints that have been leaking conditioned air into the crawlspace for months. Repairing those problems first makes any later cleaning meaningful, because cleaning a disconnected or crushed duct does nothing for airflow. Our three-service scope means Air Duct Repair happens in the same visit as diagnosis, not as a separate callback.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
Rooms that never reach the thermostat temperature, visible dust around certain registers, or a musty smell when the blower kicks on often point to separated or damaged ducts.
What it costs in Pajaro
Ductwork repair in Pajaro typically ranges from $300 to $900 depending on access, how many sections are damaged, and whether the work is in a crawlspace or attic.
How we do it
We locate leaks and separations, reconnect or reseal the affected sections, and test airflow at the registers before we finish.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Ductwork that is crushed, heavily corroded, mold-damaged, or so old that joints no longer seal is usually better replaced than patched.
What it costs in Pajaro
Air duct replacement in Pajaro typically runs $1,800 to $4,500 for a full system, depending on home size and whether the runs are in a crawlspace or attic.
How we do it
We remove the failed sections or the full system, install new duct properly sized for the airflow needs, and seal every joint before reconnecting to the HVAC unit.
What Air Duct Repair Costs in Pajaro
| Item | Typical range in Pajaro |
|---|---|
| Ductwork repair (per section) | $300 – $900 |
| Air duct replacement | $1,800 – $4,500 |
| Duct replacement (partial system) | $900 – $2,200 |
Can flood damage make duct repair more expensive?
Yes. Ducts that sat in floodwater often have silt inside, mold on the liner, and collapsed flex runs. Replacing those sections costs more than a simple joint reseal. Call for a written estimate after any flood event.
Should I repair or replace ducts after a flood?
If the ducts held water, replacement is usually the safer choice. Metal ducts can sometimes be cleaned and dried, but flex duct with a cloth liner almost always needs to come out. We will show you what we found before quoting the work.

Every job is quoted as one flat price per system, agreed before the work starts, so the written estimate is the price you pay.
