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.

Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Agoura Hills’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Agoura Hills homeowners know their ducts carry more than ordinary dust. The Woolsey Fire burned through these hills in November 2018, and surviving homes drew heavy smoke and ash into HVAC systems before residents could return. We’ve cleaned ducts in Old Agoura, Medea Valley, and along the Las Virgenes corridor where that fine grey residue still circulates years later. Families here tell us they chose Morton’s because we ask the right questions before we quote: when was the house built, was it post-fire, has anyone camera-inspected the attic runs?
Our technicians arrive with the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values: protected floors, pet-safe product choices where available, and no surprises on the invoice. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. Full stop.
A live person answers our phone 24/7. Not a chatbot. Not a callback queue. A real human who can schedule your Agoura Hills appointment or connect you directly with Paul Adeyemi if you have questions about your specific system.
Air Duct Repair in Agoura Hills
Air Duct Repair in Agoura Hills addresses the unique two-tier housing stock you’ll find on single streets here: new metal duct systems in post-Woolsey rebuilds alongside 30-45 year old fiberglass flex runs from the original 1970s-90s master-planned development. Repair becomes necessary when collapsed sections, disconnected attic joints, or fire-damaged connections restrict airflow and force your HVAC system to work harder. In Agoura Hills, typical air duct repair runs $200-$550 depending on accessibility and whether we’re resealing joints or replacing damaged runs entirely.
Collapsed Flex Duct Sections
The original fiberglass flex in Agoura Hills’s older homes sags and collapses after decades in hot attics. We locate the failure with video inspection, then restore proper diameter and airflow without tearing open walls.
Post-Fire Connection Damage
Heat and smoke exposure during the Woolsey Fire degraded tape and sealant in homes that survived structurally. We replace compromised connections with proper mechanical fasteners and mastic seal rated for California Title 24 energy compliance.
Ductwork Cleaning in Agoura Hills
Ductwork Cleaning in Agoura Hills means source removal from both supply and return branches, not just a register wipe. For the post-2018 rebuilds with new metal duct, we frequently find construction debris the builder never flushed: drywall compound, framing sawdust, and insulation fines that have cycled through the air handler since move-in. For original flex systems, we address decades of accumulated debris plus Santa Ana wind-driven chaparral particulates that load canyon-adjacent homes faster than flat inland suburbs. Full ductwork cleaning in Agoura Hills typically ranges $350-$650 for residential systems.
New-Build Construction Debris Removal
Builders rarely clean ducts before certificate of occupancy. We use Rotobrush agitation and Nikro HEPA negative pressure to extract construction fines that standard HVAC filters can’t capture, protecting your family’s air from day one of occupancy.
Fire-Era Contamination Source Removal
In Old Agoura and Medea Valley, we treat Woolsey Fire ash residue as distinct contamination, not ordinary dust. Our Abatement Technologies equipment captures sub-micron particulates that standard cleaning misses, with photo documentation before we seal the system.
Trusted Brands We Service in Agoura Hills
We carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies on every Agoura Hills truck, not rental-shop vacuums with inadequate suction or filtration. For homes with Honeywell, Aprilaire, or Guardsman whole-house air cleaners integrated into the duct system, we stock replacement media and know the calibration protocols specific to each model. This matters in Agoura Hills where canyon-loaded systems work harder and components wear faster. Our technicians can service the air handler, blower motor, and integrated filtration in the same visit, reducing callbacks and keeping your Agoura Hills home’s indoor air consistent through Santa Ana season and fire season alike.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Agoura Hills Homes
- Construction dust in post-Woolsey rebuilds. Homes rebuilt after 2018 frequently have drywall compound and framing debris still cycling through new metal ducts. Builders rarely flush systems before handover, and homeowners don’t realize the “new house smell” is actually construction particulate.
- Fire-era ash residue in older systems. In Old Agoura and Medea Valley, we open returns and find fine grey coating traceable to November 2018. Homeowners who never scheduled post-fire cleaning are often unaware this contamination is still active in their air handler.
- Canyon wind loading on flex runs. Homes along Las Virgenes and Kanan corridors see Santa Ana events drive chaparral particulates and embers directly into outdoor intakes. Flex duct with compromised seals loads with debris far faster than comparable homes in Thousand Oaks or Calabasas flats.
- Disconnected attic joints in aging flex systems. The original 1970s-90s fiberglass ductwork in Agoura Hills’s master-planned neighborhoods has reached end of design life. We find separated joints blowing conditioned air into attics, spiking energy bills and starving downstream rooms.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Agoura Hills
Yes, very likely. Post-fire rebuilds in Agoura Hills frequently have construction debris the builder never removed: drywall compound, framing sawdust, and insulation fines that cycle through your air handler from move-in day. We recommend a full source-removal clean within the first year of occupancy, with video inspection to document what the builder left behind. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Open a return register and wipe the interior surface with a white cloth. Fine grey residue that doesn’t match ordinary household dust is a strong indicator, especially in Old Agoura and Medea Valley where the fire passed directly. We confirm with camera inspection and treat fire-era contamination with HEPA-rated source removal, not standard brushing. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll check.
The Las Virgenes and Kanan corridors funnel Santa Ana wind events directly through the community, pulling chaparral particulates, fine dust, and wildfire embers into outdoor intakes whenever your HVAC cycles. Homes in these canyon-adjacent areas need more frequent filter changes and earlier duct cleaning intervals than comparable homes in flat Thousand Oaks or Calabasas subdivisions. We assess your specific exposure during every free estimate.
California building code requires duct protection during construction, but enforcement varies and final cleaning is rarely thorough. The builder should have sealed registers during drywall and framing, then performed negative-pressure source removal with HEPA filtration before certificate of occupancy. Most don’t. We find construction debris in Agoura Hills rebuilds regularly, and we clean what the builder skipped. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.
Significantly. New metal duct systems in post-2018 rebuilds tolerate aggressive agitation and higher negative pressure. Original 1970s-90s fiberglass flex runs require gentler handling to avoid further collapse or joint separation, with careful inspection of attic runs before we begin. Our technicians assess duct type during the free estimate and adjust equipment and technique accordingly. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers either approach.
