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.

Air duct cleaning in Dunwoody typically runs $350-$650 for a full residential system, and most jobs are scheduled within a few business days with a written price locked in before any work starts. Our crews know Dunwoody’s neighborhoods well, from Georgetown to Dunwoody Club Forest to Dunwoody North, because we’ve been driving these winding, tree-canopied streets since 2005.

Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Dunwoody’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Dunwoody by showing up prepared for what these homes actually contain, not by treating every job like a quick register wipe.

Every visit comes with a written price agreed before work starts, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. We leave a photo of the clean-up before we go, so you can see exactly how we left your home. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, never a voicemail tree.
Air Duct Inspection in Dunwoody
Air Duct Inspection in Dunwoody is where we almost always start, because the housing stock here demands it. A typical inspection in Dunwoody runs $150-$250 and includes a full camera pass through your supply and return trunks, register removal to check duct board condition, and an attic review of flex runs and connections. We do this first because so many Dunwoody homes built between 1972 and 1988 still carry original fiberglass duct board or early flex duct that has never been properly examined. Without looking, we’d be guessing at whether your system needs standard cleaning, sealing, or repair.
What We Look For in Older Systems
Our camera inspection focuses on three failure modes common to Dunwoody’s 1970s and 1980s builds: delaminated duct board shedding glass fibers, crushed or disconnected flex runs in hot attics, and joint gaps that pull attic air directly into your living space. We document everything with photos you can see on screen.
Inspection to Estimate, No Pressure
After the inspection, you’ll receive a written estimate with line-item pricing before any cleaning or repair work begins. If your system is in better shape than expected, we’ll tell you that too. We’ve advised Dunwoody homeowners to wait a year when the ducts were cleaner than anticipated.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody addresses a specific challenge: decades of pollen, dust, and deteriorating duct material packed into systems that were never designed to last this long. A full residential cleaning here typically costs $350-$650 depending on system size, accessibility, and whether we find damaged sections that need sealing or partial replacement. We use professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, not rental-grade shop vacs, and we work under negative pressure with HEPA containment to protect your home while we clean. Our process includes register and grille cleaning, trunk line agitation and vacuuming, and a final camera pass to confirm source removal.
Protecting Your Home During the Job
We lay drop cloths at every entry point, wear shoe covers, and use corner guards to protect walls. If you have pets, we ask about their location and temperament before starting. Our crews have worked around sleeping toddlers in Dunwoody Club Forest and anxious retrievers in Georgetown; we adjust our approach accordingly.
Sealing and Repair, Not Just Vacuuming
On Dunwoody’s original duct board systems, cleaning alone often isn’t enough. We frequently find delaminated liner and open joints that require hand-sealing with mastic or foil tape, and occasionally crushed flex runs that need replacement. We quote this work upfront, never as a mid-job surprise.
Trusted Brands We Service in Dunwoody
Our crews arrive with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, the brands we trust for source removal in older residential systems. We also stock compatible components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for common repairs, which means most Dunwoody jobs are completed in a single visit without waiting on parts. This matters in a city where the typical home’s ductwork is 35 to 50 years old and may need more than just a vacuum pass. Our equipment is maintained to manufacturer specs and replaced on regular cycles, so you’re never getting a tired machine that’s been dragged through a hundred jobs before yours.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Dunwoody Homes
- Crumbled fiberglass duct board shedding into living spaces. In Dunwoody’s original 1970s subdivisions, we regularly pull registers and find duct board that has physically deteriorated inward, releasing glass fibers directly into the airstream your family breathes. This is a concentrated problem here because so much of the city was built in the single decade when duct board dominated Southern construction.
- Crushed or disconnected flex runs dumping conditioned air into attics. Dunwoody’s early flexible duct, now sagging after decades of 130°F summer heat cycling, often separates at joints or collapses entirely. We’ve found systems where a third of the airflow was being lost to the attic before reaching any room.
- Pollen compaction from the dense hardwood canopy. Dunwoody’s strictly protected tree canopy, one of the thickest in the Perimeter area, generates oak, pine, and sweet gum pollen loads that get pulled into returns and packed into aging duct liner. The humid subtropical climate then keeps moisture levels high enough that biological growth becomes a recurring issue.
- Register-wiping passed off as full cleaning. Some low-priced services vacuum visible registers and call it done, never addressing the crumbled liner, disconnected runs, or joint gaps that are the real problems in these older systems. We see the aftermath when homeowners call us to fix what should have been handled the first time.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody, GA
Most full-system residential cleanings in Dunwoody fall between $350 and $650, with inspections at $150-$250 and sealing or repair work quoted separately if needed. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and HVAC complexity. What moves a job toward the higher end: extensive duct board damage requiring hand-sealing, multiple crushed flex runs needing replacement, or systems that haven’t been touched in 20-plus years and require extra agitation time. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons after the crew arrives. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate; we’ll ask about your home’s age, system type, and any symptoms you’ve noticed so we can quote accurately before scheduling.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody
Because Dunwoody’s housing stock was built almost entirely between 1970 and 1990, most homes still have original fiberglass duct board or early flex duct that has reached end-of-life. Cleaning reveals crumbled liner, delaminated board, and disconnected runs that weren’t visible from the registers, and we won’t reassemble a system we know is actively shedding debris into your air. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll inspect first so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before any work starts.
Yes, but gently and with realistic expectations. We use soft-bristle Rotobrush heads and controlled negative pressure to avoid further damaging fragile board, and we document any sections that are too far gone to safely clean. In those cases, we quote sealing or partial replacement upfront rather than risk making the problem worse. Call (323) 918-4345 for an inspection and written estimate.
Sandy Springs and Brookhaven have more mixed-era housing, with significant construction before 1970 and after 1990, so their duct systems are more varied in age and material. Dunwoody’s core neighborhoods were built in a concentrated wave when fiberglass duct board was the dominant material, creating an unusually dense pocket of aging, identical systems. That concentration means we see the same failure modes repeatedly here. Call (323) 918-4345 if you’re unsure what your home contains.
Dunwoody’s mature oak, pine, and sweet gum canopy is protected by some of the strictest tree-preservation ordinances in the metro area, which is wonderful for shade and property values but does mean higher pollen loads pulled into your returns each spring. When that pollen packs into 40-year-old duct liner in humid attic conditions, it creates compaction and potential biological growth that we don’t see at the same rates in less wooded areas. Regular inspection and cleaning manages this. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.
The most common signs are a persistent fine dust that resets quickly after cleaning, visible glitter-like particles in sunlight streaming through windows, or family members with unexplained respiratory irritation that improves when away from home. In Dunwoody’s original duct board homes, we can usually confirm this with a camera inspection in under an hour. Call (323) 918-4345 for a scheduled inspection and written findings.
