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 Chowchilla, CA
Air duct cleaning in Chowchilla costs between $390 and $690 for a whole-home system, with most single-story tract homes from the 1960s through early 1990s landing around $450 to $550. What makes Chowchilla different from Fresno or Madera is the almond harvest. From late August through September, fine tan hull dust settles across the city while AC systems run at peak load, pulling that particulate directly into return vents. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles that specific contamination pattern on a regular basis. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before any work starts.
Why Chowchilla Homes Are Different
Chowchilla sits in one of the most agriculturally active airsheds in the Central Valley. Dairy operations, almond orchards, and row-crop fields surround the city on all sides, which means the air moving through your ducts carries more than typical household dust. During almond harvest, mechanized shakers and wind lift a chalky residue that drifts over neighborhoods near Robertson Boulevard and the Highway 99 corridor. We find that same tan powder packed into return-air plenums and the first several feet of supply runs on homes across town every fall.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Most Chowchilla homes were built between the 1960s and early 1990s as the city grew around its agricultural service economy. Many still run original sheetmetal ducts or aging flex-duct with deteriorating foil wrap and unsealed joints. Those gaps pull dust from attics and crawlspaces, then winter tule fog introduces moisture through the same openings. The result is a duct system that loads up with debris all summer and absorbs damp air all winter, with almost no seasonal break between the two. That combination is why a visual inspection matters here more than in newer tract developments.
Our Main Chowchilla Services
Chowchilla homeowners call us most often for two jobs: cleaning the ducts that carry heated and cooled air through the house, and clearing the dryer vent that removes lint and moisture from the laundry room.
Air Duct Cleaning in Chowchilla
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Chowchilla service starts with a look at what is actually inside your ducts, usually a mix of almond dust, pet hair, and insulation fibers pulled in through unsealed joints. We run professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment through every supply and return line, then clean the plenums where the worst buildup collects. Shoe covers go on before anyone walks in, drop cloths protect the floors near each vent, and we work around nap schedules when young kids are home. You get a written price before we start, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Chowchilla
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Chowchilla removes the lint and debris that builds inside the vent line running from your dryer to the outside. In Chowchilla, dryer vents pull in the same almond dust that coats everything else in the fall, and that fine powder gums up against damp lint faster than you would expect. Our technicians clear the full run, check the exterior termination, and confirm airflow with a meter before we call the job done. We use quiet tools, keep pets away from the work area, and leave the laundry room cleaner than we found it.

What Chowchilla 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."
