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.

Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Wells Branch’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Wells Branch one home at a time.

The Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values mean we work quietly during nap hours and choose pet-safe products wherever possible.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. Full stop. That promise is stamped on every invoice, not offered only when asked.

What sets us apart for Wells Branch homeowners specifically is our familiarity with your ductwork. Because this community was built as a single master-planned development, we’ve cleaned the same HVAC configuration on street after street. We know where the duct-board plenum sits, where the flex branches run, and where cedar pollen tends to cake thickest.
Air Duct Inspection in Wells Branch
Air Duct Inspection in Wells Branch starts with understanding what 30-plus years of Central Texas cooling seasons have done to your system. Our inspection runs $150-$250 and includes a full visual and camera assessment of your duct-board plenum, flex-duct branches, and all accessible supply and return runs. We focus on the failure modes that are common here: delaminating fiberglass lining, degraded flex-duct inner cores, and the fine Ashe juniper pollen that penetrates return grilles and settles into ductwork during December through February.
Camera Assessment of Hidden Runs
We cut small test ports into flex-duct branches where needed and feed a camera through to document liner condition, debris depth, and any blockages. You’ll see what we see. This matters especially in Wells Branch homes with that single central hallway return, where decades of negative pressure have pulled pollen and dust into the plenum.
Written Report with Photos
Within 24 hours, you receive a written report with photos, a clear explanation of what we found, and a flat-price quote for any recommended cleaning. No per-vent pricing. No surprises. You decide before we move forward.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch addresses the specific condition of homes built during the 1984-1995 master-planned buildout. A typical full-system clean runs $350-$650 depending on system size and accessibility. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment with HEPA filtration, performing source removal on supply ducts, return ducts, and the critical duct-board plenum at the air handler that many competitors skip.
Source Removal, Not Surface Wiping
We put the system under negative pressure and use mechanical agitation to dislodge debris from duct walls. Then we extract it at the source. This is the only method that actually removes built-up contaminants rather than pushing them deeper into the system.
Protecting Your Home During the Job
Drop cloths go down before equipment comes in. Shoe covers stay on. We seal registers to prevent blowback into living spaces. And we schedule around your family’s routine, because a clean house should still feel like home while we’re working.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wells Branch
Our crews carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, not the rental-grade units you might find at a big-box store. Rotobrush’s brush-and-vacuum systems handle the flex-duct branches common in Wells Branch homes, while Nikro’s negative-air machines maintain proper containment during source removal. We stock common fittings and access panels locally, so if your 1980s-era system needs an adapter or a sealed access port added, we don’t delay your job waiting for parts. The right tool for your specific duct configuration means a cleaner system and a crew that doesn’t cut corners because they’re improvising.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Wells Branch Homes
- Drywall dust and construction debris in “new” 1980s-1990s homes. Builders in the original Wells Branch buildout often left sawdust, drywall particles, and insulation scraps inside ducts at handover. Decades of airflow have pushed some through, but plenty remains trapped in flex-duct low spots and against the duct-board plenum.
- Duct-board delamination shedding fiberglass into the airstream. The fiberglass lining inside plenums at the air handler breaks down after 30-plus years of heat and humidity. We find this uniformly across Wells Branch’s age-consistent housing stock, not as a rare defect.
- Cedar pollen caked in return ducts year-round. Ashe juniper pollen is exceptionally fine. It penetrates return grilles during the December-February season and stays in the duct system, becoming a persistent allergen reservoir that standard filters won’t catch.
- Flex-duct inner liner flaking and restricting airflow. The original flex branches in Wells Branch homes have logged far more cooling hours than equivalent-age ductwork in northern climates. That extra runtime accelerates liner degradation, reducing airflow and forcing your HVAC system to work harder.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch, TX
Most full residential systems in Wells Branch fall between $350 and $650. A basic air duct inspection runs $150-$250. Dryer vent cleaning, which we often pair with duct cleaning, typically adds $120-$180. What moves you within these ranges? System size (single-return versus multi-zone), accessibility of the air handler and plenum, and the degree of contamination we find. We don’t quote per-vent prices because that’s how bait-and-switch starts. Instead, we give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work begins. Every estimate is free, and every estimate includes a clear scope of what we’ll clean and what you’ll pay. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule yours.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Wells Branch
Yes, it’s likely a problem. Thirty-plus years of Austin-area cooling seasons have pushed your original flex-duct liner past its typical service life, and the duct-board plenum at your air handler may be delaminating. Cedar pollen from decades of December-February seasons has accumulated in your return system. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free inspection and written quote.
Even homes fresh from the builder often contain drywall dust, sawdust, and construction debris in the ducts. In Wells Branch’s original buildout, rushed final cleanings left this material behind, and the first months of HVAC runtime push it through your air handler and into living spaces. A post-construction clean removes this reservoir before it circulates. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.
The pollen is fine enough to penetrate standard return-air grilles and deposit throughout your duct system. Once inside, it remains as a year-round allergen source, recirculating every time your blower cycles. Wells Branch’s roughly 10-month cooling season means near-constant airflow through that contaminated reservoir. Call (323) 918-4345 for an inspection that includes return-duct camera assessment.
We visually assess all accessible ductwork, cut test ports into flex branches for camera inspection, document plenum condition and debris depth, and provide a written report with photos and a flat-price cleaning quote within 24 hours. The inspection focuses on the specific failure modes common to Wells Branch’s 1984-1995 housing stock. Call (323) 918-4345 to book.
Very likely yes. As a single master-planned buildout, Wells Branch tract homes share nearly identical HVAC configurations: a single large central return in the hallway ceiling, a duct-board plenum at the air handler, and flex-duct branches to matching ceiling or high-wall registers. That uniformity means a technician who has cleaned one home on your block can anticipate the same tight configurations and typical condition in the next. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll confirm your specific layout during our inspection.
