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 Alamo Heights, TX
Air duct cleaning in Alamo Heights is a different job than it is in most of San Antonio, because the homes here were built between the 1920s and 1950s, long before central air conditioning existed. When AC was retrofitted into these brick bungalows and Tudor revivals, the ductwork often ended up in unconditioned attics, spliced through wall cavities, and undersized for the homes they now serve. That means the work takes longer, requires mapping the system before cleaning begins, and demands equipment that can actually reach decades of debris in dead-end duct sections. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning has served Alamo Heights families since we were founded in 2005, and we schedule every visit with a written price before work starts. Call (323) 918-4345 to talk through your home’s system.
Why Alamo Heights Homes Are Different
Alamo Heights sits in one of the highest mountain cedar pollen zones in North America. Every December through February, Ashe juniper releases pollen clouds that push through window seals, attic vents, and especially through leaky duct joints in older homes. We see it every winter: a homeowner in a 1940s colonial calls us because every surface in the house has a fine coat of dust within two days of cleaning it. The ducts are almost always the culprit. Summer makes it worse. Attic temperatures in Alamo Heights regularly exceed 140°F, which bakes flexible duct insulation until it cracks and separates at the connections. That creates gaps where pollen, dust, and attic insulation pull straight into the airstream. We routinely encounter mid-century sheet metal ductwork that was spliced into floor chases or wall cavities when central AC was added in the 1950s and 60s. Some of those runs dead-end where a remodel sealed off a room, leaving decades of undisturbed debris that standard cleaning equipment cannot reach without mapping the system first. Alamo Heights is compact, affluent, and architecturally uniform, and the homes share these problems in ways newer subdivisions simply do not.
Our Main Alamo Heights Services
Most Alamo Heights homeowners call us about two things: the ducts that move heated and cooled air through the house, and the dryer vent that carries lint and moisture out. Each service has its own Alamo Heights page with local pricing, timelines, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Alamo Heights
Duct cleaning here means working around tight attic access points, older sheet metal runs, and the pollen load that builds up from the mountain cedar season. Our technicians protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment they walk in, and we use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for the narrow, retrofitted systems common in 1920s-to-1950s homes. Before any work starts, you get a written price for the whole system. Every job ends with a photo of the clean-up so you can see the home was left right. Read more on our Air Duct Cleaning in Alamo Heights page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alamo Heights
Dryer vents in Alamo Heights are often longer than they should be, routed from a laundry room added during a remodel through wall cavities or across attic space to reach an exterior wall. That extra length catches more lint, and the summer attic heat bakes that lint until it hardens inside the vent. We clean the full run, not just the first few feet, and we check for the disconnections and kinks that are common in older retrofitted homes. The written price you approve before we start is the price you pay. Full details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alamo Heights page.

In Alamo Heights, the two things that push a job toward the top of these ranges are attic access and system age. Crawling through a 140°F attic in July to reach a retrofit duct system takes longer than working a modern closet-installed unit. If your sheet metal is mid-century and spliced with dead-end runs, we have to map it before we clean it, which adds labor but prevents us from leaving debris in sections we could not see. Either way, the price is agreed in writing before the first tool comes off the truck.

No. Duct and dryer vent cleaning is maintenance work, not construction, so it does not require a permit anywhere in Alamo Heights and does not trigger HOA review. The work is done inside your home or at your existing exterior vent, so nothing about your property’s appearance changes and no approval is needed before we start.
