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 Irondale, GA
Air duct cleaning in Irondale typically costs between $450 and $900 for a whole-home system, depending on the number of returns, the age of the ductwork, and how much pollen and construction dust has settled inside over the years. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles jobs throughout this DeKalb County community with written pricing agreed to before any work starts. If you’ve noticed dust settling back onto furniture within days of wiping it down, or the house smells musty every time the AC kicks on, call us at (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through what’s happening inside your ducts.
Why Irondale Homes Are Different
Irondale sits in the eastern stretch of metro Atlanta where Georgia’s spring pollen season is genuinely relentless. Yellow pine pollen settles on every surface from late March into May, and much of it gets pulled straight into return vents and packed into duct liners. Then the long cooling season, often eight or nine months of near-continuous AC runtime, keeps pulling that particulate deeper into the system. A home in Irondale can accumulate years of compacted pollen, mold spores, and fine Georgia red-clay dust that a filter change will never touch.
The housing stock adds another layer. Many Irondale homes are mid-century ranch and split-level builds from DeKalb’s postwar expansion, and a good number still run original or early-generation flex ductwork. Decades of humidity cycling through Georgia summers has left that flex brittle, with gapped joints and sagging inner liners that trap debris in ways newer construction doesn’t. Attic duct runs in older slab-on-grade ranches regularly hit 130 to 140 degrees in July, which accelerates the breakdown of insulation and creates low spots where pollen and dust pool season after season. Cleaning these systems properly means knowing where that pooling happens, not just running a brush through the main trunk line.
Our Main Irondale Services
The two jobs Irondale homeowners call us about most are whole-home air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with full pricing and local details, linked below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Irondale
We clean supply and return duct runs, the main trunk, and the plenum using Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for the older flex ductwork common across Irondale. The work includes protecting floors with shoe covers and drop cloths before equipment comes inside, and we photograph the clean-up before we leave. In Irondale’s ranch homes, the heaviest accumulation is usually in sagging attic runs, so our technicians spend extra time on those low points rather than rushing through them. Full details on pricing, what’s included, and how we handle older flex systems are here: Air Duct Cleaning in Irondale.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irondale
Lint builds up in dryer vents faster in humid climates because the moisture keeps lint sticky and clinging to the vent walls instead of blowing through. In Irondale’s split-levels and ranches, dryer vents often run longer distances through crawl spaces or exterior walls, which means more surface area for lint to accumulate. We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, then confirm airflow at the exit point. Full pricing and what to expect are here: Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irondale.

Yes. Irondale’s mid-century ranches and split-levels often still have first-generation flex ducts that need gentler handling than rigid metal. Our technicians inspect for brittleness, sagging, and low-spot pooling before cleaning begins, and we adjust the equipment accordingly. The written quote accounts for this before we start.
You don’t need to be home for the full job, but we do need access to the return vents and the HVAC closet or crawl space entrance.
