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 Waltham, MA
Air duct cleaning in Waltham means working inside homes that were built for the Waltham Watch Company era, not for central air. Many of the triple-deckers and mill-worker singles near Moody Street had forced-air ductwork retrofitted years after the original steam heat was installed, and those runs are tighter, dustier, and harder to service than anything built new. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles that reality with a written price before any work starts, professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (323) 918-4345 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a voicemail.
Why Waltham Homes Are Different
Waltham sits right on the Route 128 corridor, and that’s not just an office-park detail. Thermo Fisher Scientific’s global headquarters is here, and a lot of Waltham residents work in biotech or pharma. They bring those indoor air quality standards home with them. At the same time, the housing stock near downtown was never designed for ductwork. Original balloon-frame construction meant retrofitted supply ducts got shoehorned through wall cavities with no vapor barrier separation. In winter, the duct exterior sweats against cold sheathing. We see debris accumulate in those irregular runs faster than in the purpose-built colonials of neighboring Lexington or Weston, and they’re significantly harder to reach and clean properly. Add the Charles River running through low-lying areas like Riverside, where basement return-air plenums pick up condensation risk, and you get systems that need real attention, not a quick vacuum pass.
Our Main Waltham Services
Two services cover most of what Waltham homeowners call us about, and each has its own dedicated page with local pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Waltham
Whole-system air duct cleaning for Waltham homes means more than swapping a filter. We run professional Rotobrush agitation through the supply and return sides, from the register boxes to the main trunk. In older Moody Street triple-deckers, poorly sealed register boxes let insulation fiber migrate into supply air over time, and that’s exactly what our cleaning removes. Before we start, you get a written price. Before we leave, you get a photo of the clean-up. See Air Duct Cleaning in Waltham for the full breakdown.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Waltham
Dryer vents in Waltham run through some odd spaces, especially in the pre-war housing where the laundry hookup was added decades after the house was built. Long runs, elbows, and old galvanized pipe collect lint that a standard dryer filter never catches. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination and check the hood. You receive a written price before work begins and photographic proof of the clean-up when it’s done. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Waltham for specifics.

What Waltham Customers Say
"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."
