Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Kenmore, NY
Air duct cleaning in Kenmore, NY means working with homes that sit in a low, damp bowl at the north end of Lake Washington, where the Sammamish River empties in and holds moisture in the air longer than almost anywhere else in King County. That persistent humidity drifts through the forced-air systems of Kenmore’s mid-century ranches and split-levels, feeding the kind of mold and biofilm growth that drier inland suburbs rarely see. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning has worked in this microclimate, and our technicians understand what it does to ductwork. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule a walkthrough, and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Kenmore Homes Are Different
Kenmore developed fast between the late 1950s and early 1970s, before it incorporated, and that building wave left the city with a particular housing stock: single-story and split-level ranch homes built around original sheet-metal trunk-line ducts and flexible branch ducting that was never designed for five or six decades of use. Much of that flex duct runs through unconditioned crawl spaces, sitting directly above damp ground. Over time, the moisture wicks upward, the flex duct sags, and joints separate. We regularly find return-air plenums and supply boots in Kenmore that have pulled crawl-space air, and whatever spores live in that air, straight into the living space for years. Homeowners in the lakefront-adjacent and river-corridor neighborhoods see this more than anyone. Kenmore’s geography – the low-elevation terrain, the river fog that lingers over the valley, the marine air trapped by the surrounding ridges – isn’t just a backdrop for the work. It’s the reason the work looks different here than it does ten miles inland. A duct cleaning in Kenmore isn’t just about removing dust. It’s about identifying whether the system is pulling air from places it shouldn’t.
Our Main Kenmore Services
Kenmore homeowners call us most often about two jobs: cleaning the air ducts that move heated and cooled air through the house, and clearing the dryer vent that carries lint out of the laundry room. Both jobs have their own Kenmore page, linked below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kenmore
Air duct cleaning in Kenmore starts with a look at the crawl space, because that’s where so many of this city’s duct problems begin. When the flex duct has sagged or separated, the system pulls unconditioned, damp air from below the house. We clean the full system with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and we’ll tell you plainly if we find disconnected runs. The full detail on how we clean, what it costs, and what to expect is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Kenmore page. We’ll also do a second pass at the open return, the side we often see collect the most in Kenmore’s damp crawl spaces.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kenmore
Dryer vent cleaning in Kenmore often reveals vents that haven’t been opened in years, or runs that were never installed to current code. Lint builds in the vent pipe, and in homes where the dryer backs up to a garage or an exterior wall, the run may be shorter but no less clogged. In ranch homes with longer horizontal runs, the buildup is slower but deeper. Either way, a blocked dryer vent forces the dryer to work harder, and that’s a genuine fire risk, not a scare tactic. Read the full job description and pricing on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kenmore page. We’ll clean the full run from dryer to exterior cap, and we’ll show you a photo of the clean-up before we leave.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Kenmore, NY
Here’s what you can expect to pay for common jobs in the Kenmore area. These figures come from 2025 invoices for this ZIP code, not national averages.
| Service | Typical range in Kenmore |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning, 1,200-2,500 sq ft ranch or split-level | $450-$725 |
| Crawl-space flex duct inspection and cleaning supplement | $120-$240 |
| Supply boot and register deep clean (per boot) | $12-$22 |

What pushes a Kenmore bill up is what we find in the crawl space. Homes with separated flex duct, heavily damp insulation around the runs, or mold growth past the point of a simple clean will land higher in these ranges. Whatever the number, you’ll see it in writing before we start, and that’s the price on your invoice.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Kenmore
We work throughout Kenmore, from the lakefront streets near Log Boom Park to the neighborhoods along the Sammamish River and up the slopes toward the east. Here are a few of the areas we’re in most often:
- Lakefront-adjacent streets near Log Boom Park, where the proximity to Lake Washington keeps indoor humidity at its highest.
- The river-corridor neighborhoods east of 68th Ave NE, where the Sammamish’s fog lingers longest in the mornings.
- Central Kenmore’s mid-century ranch tracts, the city’s largest block of original sheet-metal duct systems.
- The split-level subdivisions north of NE Bothell Way, many with unconditioned crawl spaces feeding moisture into the ducts.
- The hill streets above Kenmore’s east side, where the drainage is better but original flex duct from the 1960s and 70s is now at the end of its life.
For most of Kenmore, a crew can be scheduled within the week. We work with morning and midday windows when possible, and if nap time is a factor, tell the scheduling team and we’ll keep the louder equipment out of the main rooms as long as we can.

Yes. We schedule Kenmore jobs in morning and midday windows for exactly this reason. Our crews use quieter tools where the layout allows, and we work room to room so a sleeping child’s room can be done first or last, whichever works better for your household.
