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 Maltby, WA
Air duct cleaning in Maltby costs between $320 and $580 for a whole-home system on a typical 2,500 to 4,000 square foot house, depending on how many returns and the condition of the flex duct in the crawl space. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, founded in 2005, and we work on the specific duct problems Maltby homes throw at us: moisture-stressed flex runs, conifer pollen packed into return grilles, and crawl spaces that stay damp for months at a stretch. A written price is provided before anything starts, every time. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Maltby Homes Are Different
Maltby sits in the forested foothills east of the Puget Sound basin, and it gets more rain than the cities just a few miles west. That fact shapes nearly every duct system we open up here. Most Maltby homes were built in the 1990s and early 2000s on half-acre to multi-acre lots, with crawl-space foundations and forced-air systems running flexible duct. That flex duct is now 20 to 30 years old, and in a damp crawl space it sags, separates at the joints, and pulls in moisture. We routinely find mold starting inside supply lines in Maltby before the homeowner has noticed a single air-quality symptom. It’s a pattern we see far more often here than in the drier, more urban Eastside suburbs.
The tree cover adds another layer. Nearly every Maltby property is ringed by mature Douglas fir and western red cedar. From late winter into early spring, fine conifer pollen and shed needles pile up around exterior air intakes and pack into ground-level return grilles. Crews working in cleared suburban neighborhoods rarely see that kind of debris load. The work here is slower and more thorough by necessity, not by choice.
Our Main Maltby Services
Maltby homeowners call us most often about two things: the supply and return ductwork throughout the house, and the dryer vent run that terminates outside. Each has its own page below with local pricing and what the job looks like in a Maltby crawl space.
Air Duct Cleaning in Maltby
We clean the full duct system with professional equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, not rental gear. In Maltby, that almost always means working in a crawl space with elevated moisture, so we inspect for sagging flex runs, separated joints, and mold growth before we ever attach a hose. Floors inside the home are protected with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we walk in. You’ll get a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Full details on Air Duct Cleaning in Maltby.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Maltby
Dryer vents in Maltby tend to run through crawl spaces and out through siding or soffit vents, which means lint builds up at the exterior termination where the damp air meets the cold. That’s also where birds and rodents try to nest in the foothill terrain. We clean the full run from the dryer to the outside cap, including the termination, and we show you what came out. One flat price per vent, agreed before work starts. Details on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Maltby.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Maltby, WA
Here are the typical whole-system ranges we quote Maltby homeowners. Your exact price depends on system size, accessibility, and the condition of the flex duct, and it’s always provided in writing before work begins.
| Service | Typical range in Maltby |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (2,500-4,000 sq ft) | $320-$580 |
| Smaller home or condo duct cleaning | $250-$350 |

What pushes a Maltby quote toward the upper end of the range is usually the crawl-space work: sagging flex runs, separated joints, or mold growth that needs remediation before the clean can begin. Whatever the number, you’ll see it in writing before any work starts, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not right, we make it right.

What Maltby Customers Say
"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
- Shelby Dunham"New house, old dusty ducts. They were gentle in the house, laid down drop cloths, and double checked every register was sealed back up. Air smells fresh now."
- Scott Hemmings"Friendly, calm crew that clearly cared about the house. Covered their shoes, protected the floors, and double checked they'd closed up every vent cover properly. Would have them back."
