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 Plano, TX
Air duct cleaning in Plano runs $450 to $850 for a typical 2,500-4,500 sq ft home, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve worked in enough Plano attics to know that the city’s 1975-1998 housing boom left behind duct systems that are now 25-50 years old: original flex duct sagging between joists, fiberglass duct board losing its interior liner, and clay-soil foundation movement pulling boots apart at the plenum. That means what looks like a simple cleaning job here is often a duct integrity check first. Call our Plano team at (323) 918-4345 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Plano Homes Are Different
Plano’s housing stock is unusual in North Texas: thousands of large two-story brick-veneer tract homes on concrete slabs, most built between 1975 and 1998, most still running their original ductwork. The scale matters. A 3,800 sq ft home in West Plano often has two or three separate HVAC zones, each with its own trunk line, plenum, and a long run of flex duct buried under blown-in insulation. When one zone breaks down, the other zones keep running, so the problem can go unnoticed for years. Technicians here routinely pull out sections of kinked or collapsed flex duct that have been passing almost no air at all.
Then there’s the soil. Plano sits on expansive black clay that swells and contracts with every rain and dry spell. Slab-on-grade homes shift, and that shift transmits up through the framing into the attic, where duct boots attached to sheetrock ceilings get torqued. In older West Plano neighborhoods built before 1985 along the Spring Creek corridor, we regularly find seams opened at the air handler boot from exactly this movement. The system has been pulling 130°F attic air into the supply stream all summer. Cleaning the ducts without resealing those connections changes nothing.
And the climate compounds it. Plano HVAC systems run hard for five to six months of continuous cooling, pulling North Texas dust and Collin County pollen through aging 1-inch filters that were never designed for cedar, elm, and oak season. By the time we arrive, the duct interiors are holding years of allergen load that the filters failed to catch.
Our Main Plano Services
These are the two jobs Plano homeowners call us about most. Each has its own detailed page with local pricing, what to expect, and the specific conditions we find in Plano attics and laundry rooms.
Air Duct Cleaning in Plano
Plano’s oversized, aging duct systems need more than a basic vacuum pass. We inspect every accessible run for the separation and collapse that clay-soil movement causes, especially where flex duct meets the boot at the ceiling. In two-story Plano homes, the upstairs runs are often the worst offenders because they carry the most load and see the most attic heat. We use Rotobrush and Nikro agitation systems to break the compacted dust and pollen loose from fiberglass liners, then capture it with HEPA-filtered negative air. Every Plano job includes a written price before we start and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Full details on Air Duct Cleaning in Plano.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Plano
Plano laundry rooms are often on the second floor, which means the dryer vent runs longer, makes more turns, and is harder to access than a first-floor vent. That’s where lint traps build, and that’s where the danger sits. We clean the full run from the dryer collar to the exterior termination, checking for the sagging and pinching that long, multi-turn Plano vents develop over time. Our techs work quietly around nap schedules and keep shoe covers on from the front door to the laundry room. If the vent is original to a 1980s or 1990s Plano home, a clean-out is overdue. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Plano for pricing and what the job involves.
