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 East San Gabriel, CA
Air duct cleaning in East San Gabriel typically runs between $285 and $485 for a standard single-system home, depending on home size and how long the ducts have gone without service. East San Gabriel homes sit in one of the heaviest smog basins in Los Angeles County, and the tract-era ductwork here collects valley particulate faster than almost anywhere else in the region. We’ve cleaned systems in this pocket of the San Gabriel Valley that hadn’t been touched in 30 years, and the difference in air quality and dust levels afterward is immediate. If you’re in East San Gabriel and want a written price before anyone starts, call us at (323) 918-4345.
Why East San Gabriel Homes Are Different
East San Gabriel sits directly against the San Gabriel Mountain front, where the 10 and 60 freeways feed diesel particulates into a natural basin that holds them in place. The result is some of the highest PM2.5 readings in Los Angeles County, and those airborne contaminants work their way into duct systems through every tiny gap and joint. We see homes here where the inside of the return duct is coated with a gray film of valley smog mixed with attic dust, sometimes within a year of a previous cleaning.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most East San Gabriel homes were built between 1950 and 1975, and many still run original sheet-metal ductwork or early flex-duct through attics that regularly exceed 140 degrees in summer. That heat bakes the liners, opens joints, and pulls whatever’s in the attic into the living space. A large share of these are multigenerational households too, which means more occupants, more pet dander, more cooking particulate, and ducts that often go 20 to 40 years without professional attention. When we arrive at an East San Gabriel home, we expect to find restricted returns, separated duct runs, and a system working far harder than it was ever designed to.
Our Main East San Gabriel Services
East San Gabriel homeowners call us most often for two things: the full air duct cleaning that the valley air really demands, and dryer vent cleaning that keeps older laundry rooms safe and efficient. Each service has its own page with local pricing and specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in East San Gabriel
East San Gabriel’s smog basin geography means duct interiors here accumulate a fine gray coating of combustion particulates and valley dust faster than coastal neighborhoods. Our process runs professional-grade agitation tools from Nikro and Abatement Technologies through every supply and return line, while HEPA-filtered negative air pulls the loosened debris out of the house instead of recirculating it. In the tract homes common to this area, we frequently find fiberglass particles from degraded attic insulation that have been pulled in through leaky return paths and deposited throughout the living space. The fix is a full-system clean with attention to every joint and boot. See Air Duct Cleaning in East San Gabriel for specifics.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in East San Gabriel
Older East San Gabriel homes often route dryer vents through attics or crawl spaces with long runs and multiple elbows, and that’s exactly where lint collects and restricts airflow. A clogged dryer vent doesn’t just slow drying time. It’s the leading cause of dryer fires in Los Angeles County, and the risk climbs with every foot of vent run and every bend in the line. We clean the entire vent path from the dryer to the exterior cap, then test airflow to confirm it’s actually moving. For local pricing and details, visit Dryer Vent Cleaning in East San Gabriel.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in East San Gabriel, CA
Every quote is a written, flat price for the entire system before any work begins. No per-vent upcharges, no hidden fees, no surprise invoice at the end.
| Service | Typical range in East San Gabriel |
|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning, single system (all supply and return ducts, registers, boots) | $285 - $485 |
| Air duct cleaning, larger or multi-zone homes (5+ rooms) | $450 - $700 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, standard run (10-15 ft) | $89 - $149 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, extended or multistory runs | $150 - $225 |
| Coil cleaning (AC evaporator coil, in-place) | $150 - $350 |
| Blower motor and housing cleaning | $100 - $200 |
| Return and supply plenum cleaning | $75 - $150 per plenum |
| Furnace cabinet and secondary heat exchanger cleaning | $150 - $300 |
| Filter replacement (standard 1-inch media) | $20 - $45 |
| Filter replacement (4-5 inch media cabinet) | $45 - $90 |
| Duct deodorizing / antibacterial fogging | $125 - $250 |
| Access panel installation for hard-to-reach coils | $75 - $150 per panel |
Two things push prices toward the upper end of these ranges in East San Gabriel. The first is access: attics here run extremely hot, and if a coil or plenum sits in a tight attic space, the work takes longer. The second is neglect. Systems that haven’t been cleaned in 20 years simply contain more debris, and removing it properly takes more time and more HEPA bags. Either way, the written price you approve before we start is the price you pay at the end.

No. Duct cleaning happens entirely inside your home and through existing vents, so no exterior work, no HOA application, and no city permit are required anywhere in East San Gabriel. The only exception would be a condo building where the HOA manages shared attic access, and in that case they typically approve standard service calls.
Generally, yes. The PM2.5 load in the San Gabriel Valley is among the highest in LA County, and that particulate settles inside duct systems faster than in coastal cities. Most East San Gabriel households benefit from a cleaning every 3 to 5 years, rather than the 5 to 7 often recommended elsewhere. Homes with pets, multigenerational occupancy, or a recent renovation should lean toward the shorter end.
If your ducts haven’t been cleaned in years, or you’re noticing dust settling on furniture within days of wiping it down, call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate. Paul Adeyemi and the Morton’s team will give you a written price before anyone touches a vent.
