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 Pollock Pines, CA
Air duct cleaning in Pollock Pines runs differently than it does down in the valley, and the reasons are written into the forest itself. Homes here sit at 3,500 to 4,000 feet among ponderosa and sugar pine, where fine ash from the 2021 Caldor Fire, year-round pine pollen, and rodent activity in crawl-space ductwork combine into a contamination profile most companies rarely see. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles both air duct and dryer vent work for Pollock Pines homeowners, and every job starts with a written price before any equipment comes off the truck. Call (323) 918-4345 and a live person will walk you through what to expect.
Why Pollock Pines Homes Are Different
Most Pollock Pines houses were built between the 1970s and 1990s as mountain-style and ranch homes on crawl-space foundations. That matters because flexible ductwork under these homes sags over time, joints loosen, and rodents move in during cold snaps. We open return plenums here and find things valley techs simply don’t: compacted gray-brown layers of pine pollen mixed with fine ash that bonded to duct liner during the Caldor Fire smoke event. That residue acts like primer. Standard brushing doesn’t remove it; it takes HEPA-equipped extraction from machines like Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to pull it free. Add heavy forced-air heating through snowy winters and smoky summer seasons, and the inside of a Pollock Pines duct system tells the story of every season the house has weathered.
Our Main Pollock Pines Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Pollock Pines: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated page with local pricing, process details, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pollock Pines
Duct cleaning here means removing the fine airborne material that settles into supply and return runs: pine pollen, Caldor Fire ash, and whatever mice have tracked into the ductwork. Our techs run HEPA-filtered extraction equipment through the full system, including the return plenum where that ash-and-pollen layer builds up. We protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths before any equipment enters the house. Read the full breakdown, including Pollock Pines pricing, on our Air Duct Cleaning in Pollock Pines page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pollock Pines
Dryer vents in mountain homes often exit through walls or crawl spaces where pine needles, bark, and rodent nesting materials accumulate just outside the termination point. Lint plus forest debris equals a vent that pushes moisture back into the laundry room and takes longer to dry every load. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior cap and photograph the result before we leave. For a complete walkthrough of how this works in Pollock Pines, see our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pollock Pines page.

What Pollock Pines 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."
