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 Contra Costa Centre, CA
Air duct cleaning in Contra Costa Centre runs $450 to $900 for a typical two-to-three-bedroom condo, and Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning writes that price down before any work starts. What makes this neighborhood different is the housing stock: mid-rise condos and office buildings from the 1980s and 1990s, many with original flex-duct systems that have spent three decades moving air through 100-degree Diablo Valley summers. Add wildfire smoke that settles into the valley each fall, and the dust in these systems isn’t cosmetic – it’s a recurring, seasonally-driven buildup that coastal Bay Area homes simply don’t face at the same rate. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll explain exactly what we’ll do, what it will cost, and how we’ll protect your floors while we work.
Why Contra Costa Centre Homes Are Different
Contra Costa Centre was built as a transit-oriented development around the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre BART station, which means the residential core is dominated by 1980s and 1990s mid-rise condos and apartment complexes with central HVAC risers and original flexible duct runs. Those systems were never designed for the sustained 95 to 105 degree inland heat this part of the Diablo Valley gets every summer. They run longer, cycle harder, and collect debris faster than coastal systems.
Then comes fall. The Diablo winds push dry, particulate-heavy air through the Caldecott corridor, and the valley’s geography holds wildfire smoke from the East Bay hills and Central Valley fires like a bowl. Homes here see a seasonal contamination cycle: a heavy cooling season, followed by smoke and ash intrusion, followed by another cooling season. Technicians working the BART-corridor condo buildings regularly find the original flex-duct connections at trunk-line branch points have separated after 30-plus years of thermal cycling. That means air – and the dust it carries – has been venting into wall and ceiling cavities instead of through registers. It’s a failure pattern specific to this development era, and it changes how we scope a duct cleaning job here.
Our Main Contra Costa Centre Services
Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles two core services in Contra Costa Centre: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page, because the work, the equipment, and the pricing are genuinely different.
Air Duct Cleaning in Contra Costa Centre
Most air duct cleaning jobs in Contra Costa Centre start with a conversation about what’s actually inside the system. In the older BART-corridor condos, that often includes sagging flex ducts, separated joints at branch points, and dust layers baked on through repeated hot summers. We run professional Rotobrush agitation equipment through every accessible trunk line and branch, then capture the debris with a HEPA-filtered negative air machine. Shoe covers and drop cloths go down before any equipment comes through the door, and we work around nap schedules when we need to. Every job ends with a photo of the clean-up, before the crew leaves.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Contra Costa Centre
Dryer vent cleaning in Contra Costa Centre condo buildings brings its own set of conditions. Vertical risers in mid-rise buildings are harder to access than single-family-home vents, and lint accumulates faster when multiple units share a chase. We clean from the dryer connection through the full run to the exterior termination, using Nikro equipment sized for long vertical shots. Lint is combustible, and a blocked vent forces the dryer to work hotter – so we check airflow at the start and again once the run is clear. The price is written down before we begin.
