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 Ramon, CA
Air duct cleaning in San Ramon homes means something different than in the rest of the Bay Area. The city’s inland valley location pushes summer temperatures past 100°F regularly, so HVAC systems here cycle far more air than coastal homes, pulling Diablo Range dust, grass pollen, and wildfire smoke particulates through ductwork that now sits at the 15 to 25 year mark in neighborhoods like Dougherty Valley and Gale Ranch. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ll explain exactly what we’ll do and what it costs before we begin. Call (323) 918-4345 when you’re ready.
Why San Ramon Homes Are Different
San Ramon’s housing stock is dominated by large two-story production homes built between the late 1990s and 2010s during the Dougherty Valley master-plan buildout. These aren’t single-return ranch houses with short duct runs. They’re 2,500 to 4,500 square foot homes with multi-zone forced-air systems and flexible duct runs that stretch 20 to 30 feet through hot attic spaces to reach second-floor bedrooms. The valley’s summer heat buckles that flex duct, causing sags at low points where debris settles and stays.
The duct sealing on many of these homes was inconsistent during high-volume construction phases. We regularly find attic insulation particles and drywall dust that infiltrated the air handler in the first few years after construction, then compounded with every summer of heavy AC use. Wildfire events have added another layer: the 2020 fire season, plus repeated smoke from the Diablo Range to the east, pushed fine particulate matter through San Ramon systems at AQI levels between 150 and 300. Residents who ran their HVAC during those weeks drove smoke particles deep into duct interiors, where they bonded with existing dust and dander. Add the valley’s grass pollen and dry-season dust, and you get a specific kind of buildup: heavy particulate loads concentrated in the longest flex runs serving upper-floor bedrooms.
Our Main San Ramon Services
The two calls we get most often from San Ramon homeowners are for air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own San Ramon page with full details; here’s a quick look at both.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Ramon
In San Ramon’s two-story homes, the flexible duct runs to second-floor bedrooms are consistently the worst offenders. Heat-buckled flex duct sags, traps debris at every low point, and because upper floors receive cooled air last, homeowners push their systems harder, compounding accumulation year after year. Our Air Duct Cleaning in San Ramon page covers how we run Rotobrush equipment through supply and return lines, what our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers, and what a written quote includes before any work starts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Ramon
San Ramon’s two-story floor plans put laundry rooms on the upper or main floor in most production homes, which means dryer vents often travel 15 to 25 feet with bends before they reach a rooftop or wall cap. That’s a long route for lint to accumulate, and our typical San Ramon job removes a surprising amount of clogging in the final third of the run. See our Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Ramon page for how we clean the full vent route, what reduces fire risk in these multi-story configurations, and why we take a photo of the clean cap before we leave.

In San Ramon, the two biggest price drivers are total duct length and access. A 4,500 square foot Dougherty Valley home with long second-floor flex runs and attic access takes more time than a single-level Windemere unit with a simpler layout. Whatever the job, you get a written price before we start, and that’s the price on the invoice. No per-vent surprises.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in San Ramon
For most neighborhoods in San Ramon, we can schedule within one to two business days. Dougherty Valley and Gale Ranch appointments are common later in the week; weekday slots fill faster during April and May when pollen is heaviest, and in October after wildfire smoke clears. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a real date, not a vague window.
Most San Ramon HOAs, including those governing Dougherty Valley, Windemere, and Gale Ranch subdivisions, do not require approval for interior duct or dryer vent cleaning. In rare cases where a community’s CC&Rs address rooftop caps, we’ll flag that before scheduling and help you confirm. If you’re unsure, check your HOA packet; we’ll work around whatever it says.
We clean the full route: supply and return ducts, the air handler, blower motor, and accessible coils. In San Ramon’s two-story production homes, that means the long flex runs to upper floors get the same attention as the trunk lines. Every job includes a written price covering the whole system before work starts. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
