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 San Martin, CA
Air duct cleaning in San Martin costs $450 to $950 for a standard whole-home system, depending on home size, number of returns, and how much agricultural dust has settled into the ductwork. San Martin jobs are different from what we see just a few miles north in Morgan Hill because most homes sit on one to two acre parcels beside working hay fields and horse pastures, and that means the particulate load inside the ducts is agricultural, not just ordinary household dust. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning brings professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to every San Martin job, with a written price before any work starts. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why San Martin Homes Are Different
San Martin’s rural-residential zoning produced a housing stock of custom ranch-style and estate homes, many built between the 1960s and 1990s, with larger square footage and extended duct runs across wide floor plans. HVAC systems here are frequently mounted in attics or crawl spaces that collect decades of agricultural particulates. These are not cookie-cutter tract homes, and the ductwork configurations vary significantly from property to property, often requiring more setup time than a suburban job in Gilroy or Morgan Hill.
The southern Santa Clara Valley floor channels reliable northwest winds during spring and summer that carry pollen, grass seed, and agricultural dust from surrounding farms directly toward San Martin homes. This happens at the exact time fields are being tilled, irrigated, and harvested, coinciding with peak HVAC use during 90°F-plus inland heat spikes. The dry June through October window is both the heaviest dust-loading period and the season when residents run their systems constantly, compounding particulate buildup rapidly. When our technicians pull registers in San Martin, they frequently find not just ordinary household dust but identifiable hay chaff, grass awns, and fine reddish-brown agricultural soil – residue from the horse pastures and farm operations immediately bordering residential streets. That contamination profile is distinct, and it changes how we approach the job.
Our crews also work around real life here: dogs underfoot, kids napping after long days outside, and a general expectation that the house is left better than we found it. We bring shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit, and we use quieter tools where we can, so nap schedules stay intact.
Our Main San Martin Services
The two jobs San Martin homeowners call us about most are whole-home air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own detailed page below.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Martin
Most San Martin systems carry a heavier agricultural particulate load than suburban homes, which means the cleaning itself often takes a bit longer and requires more attention to the return side of the system. We walk the home first, identify the system type and access points, then give you a written price before any work begins. Our technicians use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract the buildup, including hay chaff and tilled-soil dust that settles in attics and crawl spaces. Read the full breakdown on the Air Duct Cleaning in San Martin page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Martin
Dryer vents in San Martin clog with lint plus the same fine agricultural dust that settles everywhere else, and the combination hardens quickly in longer vent runs common to larger ranch-style homes. A slow dryer or a vent that hasn’t been opened in years is a real fire risk. We remove the buildup, check airflow, and leave you with before-and-after photos of the work. Read specifics on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Martin page.
