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 Leandro, CA
Air duct cleaning in San Leandro isn’t a once-a-decade chore here. Homes between I-880 and East 14th Street sit close enough to one of California’s busiest diesel freight corridors that ductwork fills with a gray-black soot other East Bay suburbs never see. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our San Leandro approach around that reality: older ranch-style homes with 60-year-old ductwork, marine-layer humidity, and port traffic dust that settles into every return. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why San Leandro Homes Are Different
San Leandro’s postwar housing stock shapes nearly every duct job we do here. The flatland tracts between I-880 and East 14th Street were built fast in the 1940s through 1960s, and most still run original sheet-metal ductwork or early fiberglass flex duct. That ductwork is now 60 to 70 years old. A lot of it was sealed with cloth-backed tape that dried out and failed years ago, so attic dust and crawlspace debris get pulled straight into the air stream.
The marine layer adds another layer. When the coastal fog settles over San Leandro’s flatlands, it traps ground-level particulates against the surface. Diesel exhaust from the freeway corridor doesn’t blow away; it hangs low and finds its way indoors. Combine that with crawlspace humidity, and you get mold and mildew starting inside flex duct runs in ways drier inland cities like Pleasanton or Dublin simply don’t experience. The homes in the hills a mile east have a completely different contamination profile, mostly ordinary dust and pollen. The flatlands are their own job.
Our Main San Leandro Services
San Leandro homeowners call us most about the two jobs below. Each has its own dedicated page with local pricing and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Leandro
Most San Leandro homes we clean haven’t had their ducts touched since the day they were built. The job is a full-system cleaning: supply and return ducts, registers, plenums, and the blower assembly where accessible. We use professional equipment from Nikro and Rotobrush, and we protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we walk in. In flatland neighborhoods west of East 14th Street, the debris we pull often carries that gray-black diesel tint unique to the I-880 corridor. Read the full breakdown at Air Duct Cleaning in San Leandro.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leandro
Lint-clogged dryer vents are a fire hazard in any home, but San Leandro’s older ranch houses often have long vent runs through crawlspaces or up through attics, which means more surface area for lint to pack in. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, remove the built-up lint, and verify proper exhaust flow before we leave. Pet hair from San Leandro’s many dog and cat households makes up a third of what we pull from the average vent. Details and local pricing are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Leandro page.

The written price you approve before we start is the price you pay. No per-vent add-ons, no surprise line items on the invoice.

"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."
- Omar Zaid"Ducts and dryer vent both. They put runners down the whole hall and wore booties. Spotless after, and they showed me photos of what came out. Worth every penny."
- Bonnie Vo"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
