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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Lantana
Air duct cleaning in Lantana, FL typically costs $350-$650 for a whole-home residential system, and our Air Duct Cleaning team schedules most jobs within a few days of your call. We’re the local crew that knows the difference between a 1958 CBS ranch near Lantana Road and a 1970s split-level off 4th Street North, because we’ve worked on both. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but our technicians live and work throughout Palm Beach County, so we’re not driving down from West Palm with a map open. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you a written price before anyone touches your system.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Lantana’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our reputation in Lantana has grown the old-fashioned way: showing up on time, protecting floors with drop cloths and shoe covers, and leaving a photo of the clean-up before we go. Paul Adeyemi leads our operations, and he insists that every technician working in Lantana understands the local housing stock - the concrete-block homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s, the uninsulated attics, the salt air rolling in from the Intracoastal.
Our customers in Lantana mention the same things in reviews: we explained what we’d find before we opened the first register, we worked quietly while their toddler napped, and the price on the invoice matched the written estimate exactly. No per-vent add-ons, no “discovered problems” halfway through. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job we do in Lantana - if something isn’t right, we make it right, full stop.
A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail tree. That’s not a gimmick; it’s how families with kids and pets need to reach us when the AC starts smelling musty at 8 p.m. on a Saturday.
Air Duct Inspection in Lantana
Air Duct Inspection in Lantana is where we always start, because the visible registers tell almost none of the story. Our technician runs a video scope through your supply and return lines, photographs the plenum connections, and checks the air-handler cabinet for microbial growth in the drain pan. In Lantana’s 1950s-1970s CBS homes, we’re specifically looking for collapsed flex duct, rusted saddles, and disconnected runs that pull hot attic air into your living space. A typical inspection runs $150-$250, and if you proceed with cleaning, we credit that toward the full job.
What We Document
You’ll receive photos of every problem we find - collapsed liner, rusted sheet-metal seams, mold staining - along with a written report that separates “needs cleaning now” from “should be monitored.” No alarmism, no pressure. Just facts you can use to decide.
Inspection-Driven Repairs
When our scope finds a rusted-through saddle on a home near the Intracoastal, we flag it immediately. Salt-air corrosion in Lantana advances faster than inland Palm Beach County, and a failed connection at the plenum isn’t something cleaning alone can fix. We’ll show you the photo, explain the repair, and quote it separately before any work begins.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Lantana
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Lantana means source removal, not just blowing compressed air around. We seal your registers, put the system under negative pressure with a Nikro or Rotobrush HEPA-collection unit, and use mechanical agitation to dislodge buildup from duct walls. In Lantana’s older homes, we’re often removing decades of accumulation from original or first-replacement flex duct that has never been properly cleaned. A typical whole-home residential cleaning runs $350-$650 depending on system size and accessibility, with larger homes or severely compromised ductwork toward the upper end.
Protecting Your Home During Service
Shoe covers and drop cloths go down before equipment comes in. We work around nap schedules when you ask, and we keep pets in mind - gate latches closed, doors secured, no loud surprises. The Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values aren’t a poster on the van; they’re how our technicians treat your house.
Before-and-After Documentation
Every completed job includes a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. You’ll see the protected floors, the reinstalled registers, and the condition we left your home in. That’s part of the Cedarwell Care Promise, and it’s non-negotiable at Morton’s.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We clean and maintain systems that use Aprilaire media filters, Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment, and Guardsman antimicrobial treatments where appropriate. Our own equipment comes from Rotobrush and Nikro, not rental-grade machines that lose suction halfway through a job. For Lantana homeowners, this means we can source replacement parts and compatible filtration quickly through our Miami-based supply chain, without waiting on national distributors. If your system uses Honeywell or Aprilaire components, we know the specs and carry the common fittings on our vans.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on Intracoastal-adjacent blocks. Technicians working the streets west of the waterway, including Lantana Road and 4th Street North, regularly find duct saddles and sheet-metal connectors rusted through at the seams. That pulls unconditioned attic air - heavy with salt moisture and fiberglass particulate - straight into supply ducts, and it happens in homes as young as 12-15 years old.
- Collapsed flex duct in 1950s-1970s CBS homes. Original or first-replacement flex routed through uninsulated attics has baked in 140°F summer heat for decades. The liner sags, tears, or collapses entirely, choking airflow and forcing the blower motor to work harder until it fails prematurely.
- Persistent mold in air-handler drain pans. Lantana’s 75-85% relative humidity, combined with AC that runs twelve months a year, creates ideal conditions for mold colonization. Standard surface cleaning without source removal misses the biological film in the pan and on the evaporator coils, so the problem returns within weeks.
- Disconnected runs leaking conditioned air into attics. In older homes with uninsulated attics, separated flex joints leak cooled air upward while pulling hot, humid attic air into the return path. This defeats your MERV-rated filtration and raises energy bills even when the system seems to be running normally.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Lantana, FL
Whole-home residential air duct cleaning in Lantana typically runs $350-$650. A system with 8-12 supply registers and 2-3 returns, in a single-story CBS home with attic access, usually falls in the $400-$500 range. Larger homes, severely collapsed ductwork requiring partial replacement, or commercial systems push toward the higher end. We do not quote per-vent prices, and we do not offer teaser coupon rates that balloon once we’re on site. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts, every time.
Air duct inspection is $150-$250, credited toward cleaning if you proceed. Partial duct replacement, when needed after inspection, is quoted separately and only after you see the photo evidence. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate - we’ll ask about your home’s age, system size, and any symptoms you’ve noticed, then give you an honest range with no obligation.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Lantana
Salt-laden air from the Intracoastal Waterway corrodes metal duct components faster than anywhere inland. In Lantana, we see rusted-through saddles and plenum connections in homes as young as 12-15 years, while similar construction in Wellington or Royal Palm Beach might last 25 years before showing comparable failure. The difference is proximity to open water and the constant draw of that corrosive air through your system year-round. Call (323) 918-4345 if you smell musty attic air or notice uneven cooling near the coast - we’ll inspect and give you a written quote.
It depends on condition, which is why we start with a video inspection. If the flex liner is intact with minor soiling, source removal cleaning restores airflow and extends service life. If the liner has collapsed, torn, or delaminated - common in Lantana’s uninsulated attics after decades of 140°F heat exposure - replacement of the affected runs is the only durable fix. We’ll show you the scope footage and quote both options before you decide. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule an inspection.
Surface wiping without source removal leaves the biological film intact, and Lantana’s 75-85% humidity with year-round AC cycling lets mold recolonize within days. Our process includes mechanical agitation of the evaporator coils and drain pan, followed by negative-pressure HEPA extraction, to remove the growth substrate rather than just the visible mold. If the pan is cracked or improperly sloped, we’ll flag that for repair. Call (323) 918-4345 if you’re dealing with recurring musty odors - we’ll diagnose the root cause, not just treat symptoms.
Yes. Every residential cleaning we perform in Lantana uses source-removal methods with the system under negative pressure and HEPA-filtered collection, consistent with NADCA guidelines. Our Rotobrush and Nikro equipment captures dislodged debris at the point of agitation, rather than blowing it into your living space. We do not use chemical fogging as a substitute for mechanical cleaning. Call (323) 918-4345 to discuss our process in detail.
Most Lantana homes benefit from cleaning every 3-5 years, but coastal conditions can accelerate that timeline. If you live within a few blocks of the Intracoastal, have pets, or notice musty odors, uneven airflow, or visible debris at registers, an inspection every 2-3 years is prudent. The salt-air corrosion and humidity here create failure modes that inland homes simply don’t experience on the same schedule. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate - we’ll assess your specific situation and recommend an appropriate interval.
