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 North Lynnwood, WA
Air duct cleaning in North Lynnwood is different from most of the Puget Sound region, and it comes down to the crawl space. Most homes here were built between roughly 1958 and 1985 as ranch and split-level designs on shallow crawl-space foundations. The forced-air ductwork runs through vented crawl spaces rather than conditioned basements or tight attic chases. In southwestern Snohomish County’s damp maritime climate, ground moisture and rodent activity find their way into those ducts far more often than homeowners expect. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning serves the whole North Lynnwood area with written pricing before any work starts. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why North Lynnwood Homes Are Different
North Lynnwood’s residential core grew fast during Seattle’s northern suburban push into unincorporated Snohomish County. The original sheet-metal trunk lines in these homes were often sealed with duct tape rather than mastic, and decades of damp air degrade that tape until gaps open between the trunk line and the flex-duct branches. Those gaps pull crawl-space air directly into the supply stream. Because central air conditioning is still uncommon in this older housing stock, the forced-air system runs only for heat and sits dormant through summer. That means moisture and microbial growth accumulate undisturbed between heating seasons. Technicians working the neighborhoods north of 164th St SW and the older streets feeding into Mountlake Terrace frequently find rodent nesting in the flex-duct runs. Aging insulation wrap and unsealed boot connections give mice harborage during wet PNW winters, and the contamination they leave behind requires sanitizing that goes far beyond a standard cleaning job. Southwestern Snohomish County gets around 38 to 40 inches of rainfall annually, with high humidity from October through May keeping crawl spaces damp for most of the year. In North Lynnwood, that combination makes clogged, contaminated ducts a common rather than occasional finding.
Our Main North Lynnwood Services
Most North Lynnwood homeowners call us for one of two jobs: cleaning the ducts that carry heated air through the house, and clearing the dryer vent that carries lint and moisture out. Here is what each involves locally.
Air Duct Cleaning in North Lynnwood
Air duct cleaning in North Lynnwood means more than vacuuming out dust. The crawl-space ductwork common here collects mold spores, rodent debris, and construction dust from decades of use. Our technicians run professional Rotobrush equipment through the entire system, including the trunk lines and flex branches, and we sanitize the ducts where contamination calls for it. After the work, you get a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. Written price before any work starts, every time. Learn more on our Air Duct Cleaning in North Lynnwood page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Lynnwood
Dryer vents in older North Lynnwood homes often run long distances from the laundry area to an exterior wall, and lint builds up faster than in newer construction. A clogged vent makes the dryer work harder and can become a fire hazard. We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior exit, using professional Nikro equipment. Floors and furniture are protected with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we walk in. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Lynnwood for the full scope of work.

What North Lynnwood Customers Say
"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."
- Scott Hemmings"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."
