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 Galveston, TX
Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles the salt-air reality of Galveston homes, where humid Gulf air and elevated pier-and-beam construction make duct systems collect contamination faster than inland houses do. We’re the local crew families call when they want a written price before work starts, shoe covers on every visit, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Call (323) 918-4345 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Galveston Homes Are Different
Galveston is a barrier island, and that single fact shapes every duct system on it. Overnight relative humidity sits above 85 to 90 percent most of the year, and the air itself carries chlorides off the Gulf. That salt-laden moisture gets pulled through air handler cycles and settles inside metal duct surfaces, corroding them faster than you’d ever see in Houston or Texas City. Older homes in the East End and Silk Stocking districts, many of them pre-1900 Victorians and Craftsman bungalows, sit on pier-and-beam foundations with flex duct runs exposed beneath the floor deck. Technicians working those crawl spaces often find salt crust and mold on the underside of the duct jacket, even in homes that have never flooded. After Hurricane Ike, saturated duct systems became a citywide problem, and post-storm duct remediation has stayed a normal part of island homeownership ever since.
Our Main Galveston Services
The two jobs Galveston homeowners call us for most are air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own full page below, with local pricing and what to expect on the island specifically.
Air Duct Cleaning in Galveston
Galveston’s humidity means dust sticks to damp duct walls and hardens into a layer that standard filters never catch. Our crews run Rotobrush and Nikro equipment through supply and return lines, removing buildup that salt air has turned into a stubborn, clinging film. In elevated homes, we pay close attention to the flex runs under the floor deck, where onshore wind drives Gulf moisture directly onto exterior duct surfaces. You get a written price before we start, and every register is protected during the work. See Air Duct Cleaning in Galveston for full details and local pricing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Galveston
Dryer vents in Galveston are often short runs through exterior walls, but the salt air speeds lint buildup and can corrode vent flaps and connectors faster than inland. A blocked vent forces your dryer to run longer, and in a humid climate that means more moisture staying in the laundry room. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior cap, check the termination point, and use HEPA-filtered equipment so no lint blows back into your home. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Galveston for the full breakdown.

Brands We Service in Galveston
Our crews work on systems built around Honeywell and Aprilaire components regularly found in Galveston homes, and we carry common replacement filters and parts for both on our trucks. Abatement Technologies equipment is used for containment during heavier remediation jobs. Turnaround on part sourcing is usually same-week since our Dallas-Fort Worth office coordinates local inventory for the island. See our brands to understand what we run and why.

Galveston jobs push toward the higher end of these ranges when the home is a pre-1900 structure with original hard ducting that requires hand access, or when the air handler sits in an elevated crawl space that makes every trip slower. The lower half reflects newer post-Ike construction with standard flex runs and easy register access. Whatever the number, it’s written down before we start.

What Galveston Customers Say
"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."
- Shelby Dunham"New house, old dusty ducts. They were gentle in the house, laid down drop cloths, and double checked every register was sealed back up. Air smells fresh now."
