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 Palmdale, CA
Air duct cleaning in Palmdale is a different job than it is closer to the coast. The Antelope Valley’s persistent high-desert winds push fine caliche dust and Mojave particulate into homes at a rate coastal and San Fernando Valley neighborhoods simply don’t experience. That dust settles in ductwork, and because Palmdale summers run above 100°F while winter nights dip near freezing, your HVAC system recirculates that contamination all year, not just during one season. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning brings Rotobrush and Nikro equipment into Palmdale homes and gives every family a written price before any work starts. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.
Why Palmdale Homes Are Different
Most of Palmdale’s housing stock is single-story stucco tract homes built during the 1980s and 1990s aerospace boom tied to Air Force Plant 42 and the Lockheed and Northrop operations. That means a large share of the ductwork in Palmdale is now 30 to 40 years old. The original flex duct and fiberglass duct board in these attics has been through extreme thermal cycling: attic temperatures can exceed 150°F in summer, then drop near freezing on winter nights. That daily and seasonal expansion and contraction causes fiberglass duct board interiors to delaminate and shed liner particles directly into the air supply. It also cracks mastic seals, letting desert dust infiltrate the system. Paul Adeyemi, who leads Morton’s, has seen this failure mode more often in Palmdale than in any milder climate market. Add the gale-force winds that carry fine Mojave particulate through building envelopes, and the contamination load in a Palmdale duct system is fundamentally heavier than what a similarly aged home in Santa Clarita or the LA Basin would face.
Our Main Palmdale Services
Palmdale homeowners call Morton’s for two jobs more than anything else: cleaning the ductwork that circulates desert dust through their home, and clearing the dryer vents that collect lint from all those extra laundry loads a dusty, windy climate creates.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palmdale
Palmdale ductwork tends to hold a fine, powdery caliche dust that packs into return plenums and coats blower fans. Our crews use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract that dust from the full system, including registers, returns, and the air handler. In Palmdale’s 1980s-era tracts, we commonly find failed mastic connections and delaminating fiberglass duct board interiors that let attic air and liner particles into the supply side. We show you what we find and document the clean-up before we leave. Air Duct Cleaning in Palmdale covers this service in full detail.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmdale
Dryer vents in Palmdale collect more than lint. Desert dust gets drawn into the vent run and mixes with lint to form a dense, compacted blockage. That forces your dryer to work harder in a climate where summer heat already strains household efficiency. Our technicians clear the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination, and we check for the cracked seals and disconnected joints that are common in older Antelope Valley homes. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palmdale explains the process step by step.

Palmdale pricing is pushed higher by the age of the ductwork: 30- to 40-year-old systems with degraded fiberglass board, failed mastic, or heavy caliche dust loads take longer to clean properly. Whatever the condition, Morton’s gives every Palmdale customer a written price before any work starts, based on one flat price per system. No per-vent pricing, no surprise invoice.

What Palmdale Customers Say
"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."
- Omar Zaid"Ducts and dryer vent both. They put runners down the whole hall and wore booties. Spotless after, and they showed me photos of what came out. Worth every penny."
