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.

We know the difference between a routine dusty duct job and the flood-silt contamination that still hides in low-lying flex duct runs years after Hurricane Harvey. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate, or keep reading to learn what makes Aldine duct work different from anywhere else in Harris County.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Aldine’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Aldine by treating every home like our own, especially the 1960s-1980s tract homes off Aldine Mail Route and the neighborhoods near Greens Bayou where flood recovery is still an unfinished story. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values: shoe covers and drop cloths before we step inside, quiet tools during nap hours, and pet-safe product choices where available. Every visit starts with a written price agreed before any work begins, and ends with a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Paul Adeyemi, who leads Morton’s, insists on this standard because he’s seen too many Aldine families surprised by invoices they never approved. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a chatbot or voicemail, because duct questions don’t keep business hours.
Our local knowledge matters here in ways it doesn’t in higher-elevation suburbs. We know which Aldine homes have oversized AC units that short-cycle and never dehumidify properly. We know which attics regularly hit 140°F and cook flex duct liners until they crack. And we know how to document flood-related damage so your insurer recognizes it as legitimate, not routine wear.
Air Duct Inspection in Aldine
Air Duct Inspection in Aldine is where every job should start, especially if your home took water during Harvey or sits near the Greens Bayou floodplain. Our inspection runs $150-$250 and includes a full video camera survey of your supply and return ductwork, moisture readings at low-run bends, and a written assessment of whether contamination is surface dust or something deeper. In Aldine’s 1960s-1980s housing stock, we routinely find flex duct liners that look fine from the register but are delaminated and packed with silt in the attic runs. That distinction, documented properly, is what separates a cleanable system from one that genuinely needs replacement.
What the Camera Reveals
Our Nikro video inspection systems feed high-resolution footage from inside your ducts to a monitor you can watch with us. In Aldine homes near Greens Bayou, we often show homeowners a thin layer of dried silty sediment in low-lying runs, residue from floodwater that entered the system years ago and never left. Standard vent-vacuuming doesn’t reach it. The camera does.
Documentation for Insurance
We timestamp every still image, note moisture percentages, and map affected materials in a format adjusters recognize. For Aldine homeowners still navigating post-Harvey claims, this documentation has meant the difference between approved replacement and denial as “pre-existing condition.” We don’t guess at what your insurer needs; we know, because we’ve done it.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Aldine
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Aldine is not a one-size-fits-all service, not in a community where some ducts hold ordinary household dust and others hold flood silt that survived multiple “cleanings” by vent-vacuum crews. Our full-system residential cleaning runs $350-$650 for a typical single-family home, with one flat price per system agreed before we start. No per-vent pricing. No add-ons once the van is in your driveway. We use Rotobrush agitation tools and HEPA-filtered negative air machines to source-remove contamination, not push it deeper. For Aldine’s older flex ductwork, we adjust pressure and brush speed to avoid damaging already-brittle liners.
Protecting Your Home During Service
We lay drop cloths from the front door to every access point, cover furniture near vents, and note pet areas and nap schedules before we begin. Our crews work to the Cedarwell Care Promise: your floors, your walls, and your family’s routine are protected as carefully as the ducts themselves. We leave a photo of the clean-up, so you see exactly how we left your home.
Post-Flood Source Removal
When we find Harvey-era silt in Aldine ductwork, we don’t mask it with deodorizers or sanitize over it. We source-remove it through mechanical agitation and controlled negative pressure, then document the before-and-after. Masking flood contamination lets mold bloom behind clean-looking registers. Source removal, properly documented, protects your air and your insurance claim.
Trusted Brands We Service in Aldine
We clean and service systems built with equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, and we keep common fittings and replacement parts stocked for Aldine’s most prevalent system types. That means faster turnaround when a 1970s flex duct run off Aldine Mail Route needs a section replaced, or when an Aprilaire media filter housing warped in a 140°F attic and needs a new seal. We’re not waiting on a parts truck from Dallas. Our crew knows which brands appear most often in Aldine’s unincorporated-era housing stock, and we arrive prepared for them.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Aldine Homes
- Flood silt in low-lying flex duct. In the older neighborhoods near Greens Bayou, we regularly find a thin layer of dried silty sediment inside duct runs that sit below the flood line from Harvey or prior storms. Homeowners had no idea it entered the system, and standard vent-vacuuming never reaches it. The bacteria harbored there keeps circulating.
- Delaminated flex duct liners from attic heat. Aldine’s slab-foundation tract homes route most flex duct through attics that exceed 140°F in summer. After twenty or thirty years, the liner adhesive fails, insulation fibers shed into the airstream, and cracks create gaps where humid air condenses and breeds mold.
- Oversized AC units causing short-cycling and duct sweating. Many Aldine homes have cooling systems installed for a larger square footage than they actually enclose. The unit blasts cold air, shuts off quickly, and never runs long enough to dehumidify. Supply ducts sweat, interior condensation accelerates microbial growth, and the problem masquerades as “dirty ducts.”
- Improper post-flood “cleaning” that left mold behind. We’ve opened registers in Aldine homes that looked spotless from the living room but hid delaminated, water-intruded flex duct in the attic. A previous crew scrubbed the visible trunkline, skipped the camera inspection, and called it done. The mold regrew within months.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Aldine, TX
Most complete residential air duct cleaning jobs in Aldine fall between $350 and $650 for a full supply-and-return system, depending on home size, duct accessibility, and whether we find flood-related contamination that requires extended source removal. Air duct inspection with video camera survey runs $150-$250. Commercial systems and multi-zone residential setups are quoted individually after we see the layout. We give one flat price per system, agreed in writing before any work starts. No per-vent add-ons. No surprise charges when the crew is already in your driveway. The factors that move Aldine jobs toward the higher end are typically flood-silt removal requiring extra agitation time, replacement of delaminated flex duct sections, and homes with multiple HVAC zones or hard-to-access attic runs. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your home’s age, location relative to Greens Bayou, and any post-Harvey work you’ve had done, so we can give you an accurate range before we schedule.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Aldine
Yes. In Aldine’s Greens Bayou floodplain, we’ve found dried silty sediment and active mold in duct runs that homeowners believed were fully remediated years ago. Standard post-flood repairs often address visible water damage but miss low-lying flex duct where silt settled and bacteria persisted. A camera inspection is the only way to know for certain. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule one.
It depends on whether the liner is intact or delaminated. If the flex duct liner is still structurally sound and the contamination is primarily sediment, our source-removal process can restore it. If the liner has delaminated or the wire coil is corroded, cleaning will not prevent mold regrowth and replacement is necessary. We document this distinction with camera stills and moisture readings so you and your insurer can make an informed decision. Call (323) 918-4345 for an inspection.
Aldine’s combination of older slab-foundation tract homes, attic routing of flex duct, and extreme summer heat creates a unique stress profile. Attics here regularly exceed 140°F, accelerating liner delamination, while the Greens Bayou floodplain introduces moisture and silt risks that higher-elevation suburbs simply don’t face. The Woodlands and Katy have newer housing stock and better drainage. Aldine’s ducts work harder and face more threats. Call (323) 918-4345 to assess your system’s condition.
Source removal means we mechanically agitate and extract the actual contamination, sediment, and microbial growth from inside your ductwork using Rotobrush tools and HEPA-filtered negative air machines, rather than covering it with sanitizers or deodorizers. In Aldine, this is especially critical because flood silt contains minerals and organic material that feed mold if left in place. We remove the source, then verify with post-cleaning camera footage. Call (323) 918-4345 to learn more.
We provide timestamped camera stills, moisture percentage readings, mapped locations of affected materials, and a written assessment of whether damage is cleanable or requires replacement, all in a format adjusters recognize. For Aldine homeowners with legitimate post-Harvey damage, this documentation has turned denied claims into approved replacements by proving the damage was flood-related, not routine wear. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll explain what your specific situation requires.
