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 Somerset
Air duct cleaning in Somerset typically runs $350-$650 for a complete residential system, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days and completed in a single visit. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve been serving families from the San Antonio metro area down through southern Bexar County since 2005. Our crews know Somerset’s split personality well: the older ranch homes and manufactured housing off county roads, and the newer subdivisions that sprouted along US-281 as San Antonio grew south. If you’re seeing dust puff from your registers, smelling mustiness when the AC kicks on, or you just moved into a new build off the corridor, call us at (323) 918-4345. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts, and we dispatch to Somerset from our San Antonio scheduling office.

Somerset homeowners call us back because we treat their houses like we treat our own. That means shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we walk in, quiet tools when there’s a toddler napping down the hall, and pet-safe product choices where they’ll do the job. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and every visit follows the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values that our independently owned company chose to uphold.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team carries professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, not the rental machines you see at the hardware store.

Vent Cleaning in Somerset
Vent Cleaning in Somerset addresses the supply and return registers where your conditioned air enters and exits your living space. In this market, we see two distinct vent problems: the fine caliche dust that cakes onto vent covers in rural properties near unpaved roads, and the construction debris that still clings to registers in newer US-281 corridor homes months after move-in. A typical vent cleaning as part of a full system service in Somerset runs $120-$220 when done standalone, or it’s included in our whole-system pricing.
Supply Vent Deep Cleaning
Supply vents push cooled or heated air into your rooms. In Somerset’s newer subdivisions, we often find these coated with drywall dust that the builder’s rough clean missed. Our Rotobrush agitation tools break that bond so HEPA vacuum extraction actually removes it, not just redistributes it.
Return Vent Inspection and Cleaning
Return vents pull air back to your handler, and they’re your system’s first line of defense. In Somerset’s agricultural fringe properties, these collect caliche dust at accelerated rates. We inspect the boot and duct connection behind each return, because that’s where the plaster-like buildup often starts hardening first.
Air Duct Repair in Somerset
Air Duct Repair in Somerset fixes the physical damage that makes your system work harder and your indoor air quality worse. Given Somerset’s housing stock, we repair a lot of sagging flex duct in older manufactured homes and poorly supported new construction alike. Duct repair here typically costs $200-$450 per run depending on accessibility and material, with full system re-ducting quoted separately after inspection.
Flex Duct Re-Support and Sealing
Somerset’s newer tract homes often have builder-grade flex duct strung with minimal hangers. It sags, it kinks, it traps debris. We re-support with proper strapping and seal connections with mastic, not tape that’ll dry and fail in our heat.
Condensation Damage Repair
Where Gulf moisture meets undersized systems in Somerset, we find flex duct that’s wet inside. That softens the insulation, collapses the inner liner, and creates mold conditions. We cut out the damaged section and replace with properly sized, supported duct that can handle the moisture load this climate throws at it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Somerset
Our crews arrive with equipment and parts from Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, and Abatement Technologies. For Somerset homeowners, that means we don’t need to order parts from San Antonio and make you wait. We stock common flex duct sizes, register boots, and sealing materials on every truck. If your system uses Aprilaire media filters or Guardsman-treated components, we know those products and how they interact with a freshly cleaned duct system. Fast turnaround matters here because once you’ve seen what’s in your ducts, you don’t want to live with it any longer than necessary.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Somerset Homes
- Post-construction debris in new US-281 corridor builds. Buyers assume builder handover means clean ducts, but we regularly find unsealed flex runs still packed with drywall dust and construction particulate. The first cleaning in these homes is often a construction-removal job, not maintenance.
- Caliche dust caking in rural properties near farmland. That fine white powder from unpaved county roads infiltrates ductwork at rates far higher than standard suburban schedules account for. It hardens on interior surfaces and coats evaporator coils simultaneously.
- Moisture and mold in sagging flex duct from Gulf humidity. Somerset’s position on the South Texas Plains funnels moisture directly into poorly supported duct runs. Condensation builds, mold follows, and residents treat the resulting symptoms as allergies for months.
- Undersized systems stressed by 100°F+ days. Extreme summer heat combined with high moisture loads pushes builder-grade equipment past its design limits. Duct leaks make it worse, pulling attic air and losing conditioned air to spaces that don’t need it.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Somerset, TX
A typical residential air duct cleaning in Somerset runs $350-$650 for a complete system, depending on home size, duct accessibility, and whether we’re dealing with standard maintenance dust or heavy construction debris removal. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and HVAC complexity. Dryer vent cleaning, which we often pair with duct service in Somerset homes, typically adds $120-$180.
What moves the needle on cost: number of supply and return runs, whether we need to access ducts through drywall or they have existing service openings, the severity of buildup (caliche dust takes more agitation time than standard household dust), and whether we find damage requiring repair mid-job. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. No per-vent pricing, no add-ons after we’re in your home. Call (323) 918-4345 for your free estimate.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Somerset
Yes, most likely. Builder rough cleans rarely address the interior of sealed duct runs, and we regularly find drywall dust and construction debris in Somerset’s US-281 corridor homes months after move-in. One homeowner off US-281 had been running their system for three months and still saw dust puffing from registers. Our camera inspection found builder-grade flex duct with minimal support, sagging in three runs and trapping debris against the air handler. We set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration, used agitation tools to break loose the caked particulate, and they finally got clean air through every duct. Call (323) 918-4345 if you’re in a new build and want us to check before that debris becomes permanent buildup.
Somerset sits on the rural-to-suburban fringe where caliche dust from unpaved county roads and surrounding Atascosa County farmland infiltrates HVAC systems at rates far higher than urban or Hill Country markets. That fine, alkaline limestone particulate cakes onto duct interiors in a hard, plaster-like layer that requires more aggressive agitation than typical urban dust loads. The newer subdivisions add construction debris on top of that baseline. It’s a unique combination that standard cleaning schedules from other markets simply don’t account for.
It changes our approach significantly. Properties near working agricultural land need more thorough evaporator coil inspection because caliche dust coats coils simultaneously with duct interiors, restricting airflow and compounding the problem. We also run longer agitation cycles and check return duct integrity more carefully, since these homes pull more unfiltered air through gaps and seams. The goal isn’t just removing what’s visible; it’s addressing the source of accelerated accumulation.
A proper cleaning involves source removal: negative pressure HEPA containment, mechanical agitation to dislodge debris from duct walls, and thorough vacuum extraction, followed by register and boot cleaning. We inspect accessible components including the air handler, evaporator coil, and filter housing. Our methods align with NADCA guidelines for containment and mechanical cleaning. We don’t use chemical foggers or sealants as a substitute for physical removal. You’ll get before and after documentation, and our photo of the clean-up before we leave.
Yes. Somerset’s Gulf moisture exposure, combined with any duct leak or undersized system, creates condensation inside flex ducts that’s often hidden from view until a camera inspection reveals it. Residents frequently attribute the resulting musty smell or respiratory irritation to allergies before a proper duct inspection shows mold or mildew growth on the duct interior. If your system runs constantly in summer but never quite dehumidifies, or you smell mustiness when the blower cycles on, call (323) 918-4345 for an inspection. Estimates are free, and early detection prevents more extensive remediation later.
