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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Murphy
Air duct cleaning in Murphy, TX typically costs $350-$650 for a complete residential system and is scheduled within a few business days, not rushed. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and our Air Duct Cleaning team serves Murphy from our Dallas-Fort Worth dispatch office, with crews who know the east-side neighborhoods off Betsy Lane and the two-story brick tracts that dominate this city.

Murphy’s homes were built almost entirely between 2000 and 2015, which means the city’s original flex-duct systems are all hitting the 10-20-year mark simultaneously. That’s a synchronized, first-generation cleaning wave neighboring Wylie and Sachse don’t share in the same uniform way. Combined with attic runs stapled by fast-schedule production builders, duct inspection in Murphy is unusually likely to turn up sagged, kinked runs nobody has ever looked at.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Murphy’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our reputation in Murphy rests on one thing: we do what we said we’d do, at the price we said we’d do it for. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values, which means shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment they walk in, quiet tools during nap hours, and pet-safe product choices where available.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. Full stop. We also provide a written price before any work starts, every time, with no exceptions, and a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail, not a chatbot. Families in Murphy call us because they’ve been burned before by crews who surprised them with a higher bill or rushed through the job. We don’t do that.
Air Duct Inspection in Murphy
Air Duct Inspection in Murphy is where we start every job, because this city’s housing stock demands it. We run a video camera through your supply and return ducts, looking for construction debris accumulation, microbial growth, and the sagged or kinked flex runs that Murphy’s production builders left behind. A typical inspection in Murphy runs $150-$250, and if you proceed with cleaning, we apply that toward the full system price.
What We Look For in Attic Runs
Murphy’s two-story homes have long flex-duct paths through unconditioned attic space, where summer temperatures exceed 150°F. We check for outer-jacket degradation, hanger separation, and partial collapses that trap dust and restrict airflow. These conditions are common in homes built between 2005 and 2012, when regional builders stapled duct with minimal hangers to hit fast closing schedules.
Video Documentation
Our inspection includes recorded video you can watch with the technician. We show you what we found, explain what it means for airflow and air quality, and give you a written repair or cleaning recommendation with exact pricing before any work begins.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Murphy
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Murphy is a source-removal job, not a surface wipe. We seal your system under negative pressure using HEPA-filtered collection equipment, then run mechanical agitation tools through every supply and return duct to dislodge debris at the source. A typical whole-system cleaning in Murphy runs $350-$650 for a single-zone home, and $550-$950 for zoned systems with multiple air handlers. We charge one flat price per system, never per vent.
Protecting Your Home During the Job
Our crew lays drop cloths at the entry and every work area, wears shoe covers inside, and uses corner guards to protect walls. We work around nap schedules and keep pets in mind, choosing quieter tool settings where possible and confirming pet-safe product selections with you before application.
The Before-and-After Photo
Every completed job includes a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. You’ll see the protected floors, the reassembled registers, and the condition we left your home in. This visual proof matters to Murphy families who’ve had other contractors leave a mess behind.
Trusted Brands We Service in Murphy
We clean and inspect systems using professional equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, not entry-level rental gear. Our Murphy crews carry common replacement parts for Honeywell and Aprilaire media filters, UV bulb assemblies, and flex-duct repair materials, so most minor repairs don’t require a return trip. If your system uses Guardsman-coated ductwork or specialty components, we account for that in our cleaning approach and product selection. Fast turnaround matters here because Murphy’s synchronized housing stock means we’re scheduling multiple jobs per week in the same neighborhoods, and keeping parts on the van keeps your appointment on track.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Murphy Homes
- Sagged and kinked flex duct from 2005-2012 production builds. On the east and south sides of Murphy, we find builder-original flex duct sagging between widely spaced hangers after years of thermal cycling in 150°F attics. Homeowners often don’t know until our inspection camera reveals a kinked run starving a bedroom register.
- Construction debris accumulation in first-generation cleans. Murphy homes built 2000-2015 are reaching their first professional cleaning simultaneously. Drywall dust, wood chips, and insulation fragments from original construction still sit in ductwork, compounded by a decade of normal household dust loading.
- Moisture infiltration after spring storms. Murphy’s position on the Blackland Prairie brings severe weather and high humidity. We regularly find mold-concern calls traced to attic ductwork that took water during a storm, especially where outer jackets have degraded from heat exposure.
- Per-vent pricing that punishes Murphy’s large homes. Some competitors quote low per-vent rates that balloon on Murphy’s typical two-story, multi-handler homes. We charge one flat price per system agreed before work starts, so your invoice matches your estimate.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Murphy, TX

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Murphy
Most Murphy homes need their first professional cleaning at 10-15 years, then every 5-7 years after that. Because Murphy’s housing stock was built almost entirely between 2000 and 2015, the entire city is hitting that first-generation window right now. If you’ve never had your ducts cleaned and your home was built during the boom years, it’s worth an inspection. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule one, estimates are free.
Murphy’s homes have longer flex-duct runs through extreme-attic conditions, plus the production-builder stapling practices of the 2005-2012 period that left widespread sagging and kinking. Older suburbs have shorter duct paths, more rigid metal ductwork, and staggered build dates that spread maintenance needs across decades. Murphy’s concentrated, first-generation demand means more homes need both cleaning and minor repairs simultaneously. We build that into our flat-price quotes so you’re not surprised.
An honest duct cleaning involves sealing the system under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, mechanically agitating debris loose from duct walls, and removing it at the source, not blowing it around. We inspect first, clean second, and show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts. No negative pressure and no agitation means dust resettles in your supply and return ducts within days. We don’t do that, and we don’t recommend anyone who does. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote on your system.
We do not promise same-day service. Duct cleaning is a scheduled job that requires preparation, equipment loading, and protected time in your home. Most Murphy appointments are scheduled within a few business days. A live person answers our phone 24/7 to find the next available slot that works with your schedule, including working around school pickups and nap times. Call (323) 918-4345 to book.
Yes, it typically means two separate duct systems to clean and inspect, which takes more time and equipment setup. We price zoned homes at $550-$950 as a flat system rate, not per vent, so your large Murphy home isn’t penalized for having the zoning that keeps it comfortable. Every air handler gets the same full inspection and source-removal treatment. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written estimate on your specific layout.
On a two-story brick home off Betsy Lane on Murphy’s east side, our tech raised a camera inspection into the attic and found the builder’s original flex duct sagging between widely spaced hangers after 15 summers of 150°F attic heat, with a kinked run starving one upstairs bedroom’s register of airflow. We set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration at the air handler, ran agitation tools through both supply and return ducts, removed the trapped construction debris and dust at the source, and re-hung the collapsed section. The before-and-after photos showed the homeowner exactly what changed, and the upstairs room finally matched the rest of the house.
