Post-Fire Air Duct Cleaning in Altadena: What Matters
Insurance adjusters, landlords and buyers all ask the same thing after a fire: was the HVAC system cleaned, and can you prove it? In Altadena, that documentation has become as important as the cleaning itself. Altadena is the community hit hardest by the January 2025 Eaton Fire. Thousands of homes were lost, and the ones still standing were surrounded by smoke, ash and debris for days. Rebuilding is under way across the area, and the surviving houses are dealing with what the fire left inside them.
We inspect the ducts, return and air handler with a camera before touching anything, then contain the house, put the system under negative pressure with HEPA filtration and clean every run, the registers, the return plenum and the filter rack. Every step is photographed, and the written report is formatted for insurance.

Working in Altadena
Demolition and rebuilding on nearby lots keep putting ash and dust into the air in Altadena. If heavy work is still going on around you, we may suggest changing filters often now and scheduling the final cleaning once it is finished.
Post-fire work is different from ordinary cleaning. Ash is fine, alkaline and gets into places normal dust does not reach, including insulation around the ducts and the coils inside the air handler. A proper post-fire cleaning covers the whole system and documents what was found, because insurance adjusters ask for exactly that.
Rebuilding next door brings its own dust. Demolition and construction on neighboring lots keep putting debris into the air for months, so we usually recommend replacing filters often during that period and scheduling the final duct cleaning once the heavy work around the house is finished.
Written price first, before and after photos, and a clean house when we leave. That is the job. Call (818) 722-9233 to book.
