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 Edgemere, MD
Air duct cleaning in Edgemere, MD typically costs between $350 and $600 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are completed in half a day. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and what makes Edgemere work different is the housing stock itself: most homes here began as seasonal Chesapeake Bay cottages, which means the ductwork was added later, often in ways that trap moisture and hold mold. If you need a written price before anyone touches your system, call (323) 918-4345.
Why Edgemere Homes Are Different
Edgemere sits on a low peninsula with the Patapsco River on one side, Back River on another, and the upper Chesapeake Bay on the third. That much water changes how a home’s air system behaves. The persistent salt-laden humidity gets pulled into ductwork through any gap, any unsealed joint, any crawlspace opening, and it stays there. We regularly find sheet-metal seams in Edgemere that have corroded far faster than what you’d see in inland Baltimore County communities a few miles up the road.
Then there’s the cottage factor. Many Edgemere homes were built in the 1940s through the 1960s as summer getaways. Central heat and air came later, which means flex duct runs were retrofitted into crawlspaces never designed for them. The result is frequently kinked, sagging, or even partially disconnected duct runs. Those low spots collect condensation, and condensation in a dark crawlspace is where mold colonies start. What looks like a simple dust problem at the register often turns out to be a moisture and mold concern once a camera gets into the system. That’s why Edgemere jobs take a specific approach: we inspect first, explain what’s actually there, and give a written price before work starts.
Our Main Edgemere Services
Two services dominate what Edgemere homeowners call us about, and each has its own page with full detail on pricing, the process, and what to expect. Here’s a brief look at both:
Air Duct Cleaning in Edgemere
Air duct cleaning in Edgemere involves more than running a brush through the ducts. Because of the coastal moisture and cottage-conversion duct layouts, we first inspect the full system to identify sagging flex runs, unsealed crawlspace joints, and any mold growth. Then we clean with professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, paying particular attention to return ducts that pull in damp, salty air from crawlspaces. Our techs protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment they walk in, and kids and pets stay safe because our tools are quieter and our product choices are made with households like yours in mind. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Edgemere page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Edgemere
Dryer vents in Edgemere collect more than dryer lint. The salt air accelerates corrosion on the vent pipe itself, and older cottage-converted homes often route dryer exhaust through long, winding runs that trap lint. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior cap, inspect for kinks, separations, or crushed sections, and verify airflow before we leave. Clothes dry faster, the dryer runs cooler, and the vent system stays clear. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Edgemere page covers what the job includes and how to prepare.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Edgemere, MD
| Service | Typical Range in Edgemere |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $350 - $500 |
| Each additional vent or return | $20 - $35 per vent |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $90 - $150 |
| Crawlspace duct inspection (with camera) | $75 - $150 |

| Supply vent cover replacement | $15 - $45 per vent |

What pushes a price up in Edgemere is usually the crawlspace work. If flex duct runs have sagged or separated, which is common near the water, resealing or replacing them adds material and labor cost. The same goes for mold remediation on duct surfaces. Whatever the quote, you’ll receive it in writing before any work starts, and nothing about that number changes at the invoice.

No permits are needed for air duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in residential Edgemere homes. If your home sits within a community with an HOA, regular interior maintenance like duct cleaning almost never requires approval, but we recommend checking your specific rules if outdoor vent caps or crawlspace access points are involved. We handle the rest.
Water intrusion in the crawlspace is common on this peninsula, and it directly affects the ducts above it. If there has been flooding or standing water, sagging flex duct and mold growth are likely. We inspect first, show you the camera footage, and give one written price that reflects exactly what was found. Contact us at (323) 918-4345 to schedule an inspection and get an exact quote.

What Edgemere Customers Say
"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."
- Bonnie Vo"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."
