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 Antioch, CA
Air duct cleaning in Antioch involves more than a standard vacuum job. The city’s position at the eastern end of the Contra Costa corridor means Delta winds funnel agricultural dust, orchard pollen, and fine silt through HVAC systems at a rate you’d never see in Berkeley or Walnut Creek. Add in summer runs of 100°F or more that push central air systems for hours daily, and you get ducts that accumulate a distinctive light-colored, silty dust. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our approach around what Antioch homes actually face. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written price before any work begins.
Why Antioch Homes Are Different
Most of Antioch’s housing stock comes from the 1990s and 2000s subdivision boom. Those tract-built homes are now 20 to 30 years old, which means many of them still have their original flexible ductwork. Over two decades, that flex duct sags between supports, disconnects at joints, and quietly collects whatever the Delta winds push through the return-air grilles. In Antioch’s eastern neighborhoods, our technicians consistently pull a fine, light-colored dust from return-air plenums: a mix of dry valley soil, agricultural particulates, and harvest silt. It’s visually different from the household lint you see in coastal Bay Area homes, and it’s a clear sign of how hard these systems work against local air quality. Homes closer to downtown and the riverfront, built in the 1950s through the 1970s, tend to have older rigid duct layouts with unsealed joints that draw unconditioned crawlspace air into the system. That means the work varies block by block, and the first thing we do on any Antioch job is figure out exactly which type of system we’re standing in front of.
Our Main Antioch Services
Most Antioch homeowners call us for one of two things: cleaning the ductwork that moves heated and cooled air through the house, or cleaning the dryer vent that carries lint out of the laundry room. Here’s what each involves in Antioch specifically.
Air Duct Cleaning in Antioch
Air duct cleaning in Antioch starts with an inspection of the return-air side, where Delta dust tends to accumulate first. We then work through supply and return ducts with professional equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, pulling out the silt, pet hair, and construction debris that settle in tract-home duct runs. The age of Antioch’s housing stock means we often find disconnected flex duct in attic spaces, which is exactly the kind of issue that’s worth knowing about before it becomes a bigger problem. For full details on what the job includes and what it costs, see our dedicated page for Air Duct Cleaning in Antioch.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Antioch
Dryer vent cleaning in Antioch matters because the same Delta dust that fills ducts also settles inside dryer exhaust runs. Lint builds up faster when the vent already has a layer of fine silt coating its interior, and the long runs common in single-story tract homes give that debris more surface area to cling to. We clean the full length of the vent, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, and we check for gaps or separated joints along the way. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Antioch for the full scope and pricing.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Antioch
We work throughout Antioch, from the older streets near downtown and the riverfront to the newer subdivisions on the eastern side of the city. The housing stock changes quickly from one neighborhood to the next, and so does the condition of the ductwork we find inside it.
- Antioch’s eastern subdivisions, including the tract developments built off Hillcrest Avenue and Lone Tree Way during the 1990s and 2000s
- Downtown Antioch and the neighborhoods near the riverfront, where 1950s and 1960s homes often have rigid duct layouts with unsealed joints
- The communities along Somersville Road and Buchanan Road
- Newer developments south of the BART station, where systems are younger but still see heavy Delta dust during harvest season
Most Antioch addresses are within a 30- to 45-minute drive for our crews, and scheduling is managed from our San Francisco Bay Area office.

- Shelby Dunham"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."
