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.

Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our Air Duct Cleaning team has built a reputation in Lighthouse Point by 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 operation with a simple rule: every homeowner gets a written price upfront, every time, with no exceptions.
Lighthouse Point homeowners tell us they chose Morton’s because we work around nap schedules, keep tools quiet when kids are sleeping, and ask about pets before we bring equipment inside. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values, which means we notice the dog on the floor and the toddler down the hall before we notice the vents.
Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, not a voicemail tree. When you schedule Air Duct Cleaning in Lighthouse Point, you’re talking to someone who knows the difference between a home on the east finger canals and one closer to Sample Road, and who can dispatch the right crew with the right equipment for your specific setup.
Ductwork Cleaning in Lighthouse Point
Ductwork Cleaning in Lighthouse Point requires understanding how this city’s unique canal-side environment attacks the very materials your ducts are made from. We use Rotobrush and Nikro agitation equipment paired with negative-pressure collection to remove settled dust, mold spores, and biofilm from the full length of your supply and return runs, not just the vents you can see. A typical single-system residential ductwork cleaning in Lighthouse Point runs $350-$550, while larger homes with extended duct runs or multiple air handlers range from $700-$1,200.
Source Removal for Salt-Damaged Flex Duct
On the canal-front streets of Lighthouse Point’s southern fingers, we regularly find flex duct inner liners that have partially collapsed or separated from fittings within 12-15 years of installation. Our source removal process extracts the accumulated debris that accelerates this degradation, then we inspect with a video camera to confirm liner integrity before we finish. This isn’t a surface wipe; it’s full-system mechanical cleaning with documented results.
Multi-Zone System Cleaning
Many Lighthouse Point homeowners have layered newer multi-zone HVAC systems over original 1950s-1970s ductwork, creating mixed-era networks where newer zones pressurize older, poorly sealed runs. We clean each zone independently, seal accessible joints where we find leakage, and note any pressure imbalances that could be spreading conditioned air into your attic instead of your living room.
Air Duct Inspection in Lighthouse Point
Air Duct Inspection in Lighthouse Point is where we document what the salt humidity has actually done to your system, using video cameras to show you what we see inside walls and ceilings you cannot access yourself. A standalone inspection runs $150-$250, or it’s included at no extra charge when bundled with a full cleaning service. We recommend an inspection before any major HVAC upgrade, after water intrusion events, or if you’ve noticed persistent musty odors that surface cleaning hasn’t resolved.
Camera Documentation for Multi-System Homes
Homes with three separate HVAC systems, common in the larger canal-front properties near the Intracoastal, need per-system documentation. We record video of each air handler, each trunk line, and each return plenum so you can see exactly which systems need attention now and which can wait. This prevents the all-too-common scenario where one failing zone gets ignored while another gets over-cleaned.
Post-Cleaning Verification
After we complete any ductwork cleaning, we run a follow-up camera inspection to verify that agitation tools haven’t dislodged liners further and that all fittings are secure. You receive timestamped still images with your invoice, not just a verbal “all clear.” In Lighthouse Point’s humid environment, this documentation matters for insurance claims, home sales, and your own peace of mind.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
Our technicians arrive with professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire, brands chosen because they hold up to the demands of Lighthouse Point’s year-round HVAC runtime. We stock common replacement parts locally for faster turnaround when an inspection reveals a failed component, and we use Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration on every job to capture the fine mold spores that thrive in this city’s damp duct interiors. You won’t see rental-shop vacuums on our trucks; we bring the same equipment to your home on Venetian Drive that we’d use in a commercial facility in Miami.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Flex duct liner collapse from salt-moisture infiltration. On canal-front properties, the constant salt-laden humidity degrades the adhesive bonds on flex duct inner liners, causing them to sag or separate from collars. We find this failure mode far less often in inland Broward cities like Coral Springs or Plantation, where the same duct products last decades longer.
- Mixed-era duct networks with pressure imbalances. When a 2020s multi-zone system blows into 1960s galvanized trunk lines, the older runs can’t handle the static pressure. Conditioned air escapes through deteriorated seams, and return pathways pull attic air instead of living space air, wasting energy and spreading particulates.
- Biofilm regrowth in air handler cabinets. Because Lighthouse Point air handlers run nearly 12 months a year in ambient humidity that rarely drops below 70%, the blower motor and evaporator cabinet stay damp even when the compressor cycles off. Cleaning that skips these components leaves the source of contamination intact.
- Collapsed insulation in original underground ductwork. Some 1950s-1960s Lighthouse Point homes still have original fiberboard or early metal ducts buried in slab or running through crawl spaces. The insulation lining inside these ducts absorbs decades of moisture, compresses, and restricts airflow while harboring mold colonies.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Lighthouse Point, FL
We price by the complete HVAC system, not by the vent, because that’s the only way to give you a written total before we start. A typical single-system residential cleaning in Lighthouse Point runs $350-$550. Homes with two systems generally fall between $600-$950, and three-system properties, common in the larger canal-front ranches, range from $900-$1,400. Commercial duct cleaning starts around $800 and scales with square footage and access complexity.
What moves you within these ranges: the number of supply and return vents, whether we need to access attic or crawl space runs, the condition of the flex duct liners, and whether the air handler cabinet requires separate cleaning. We inspect first, quote in writing, and only begin work after you approve the exact total. No per-vent add-ons. No trip charges. No surprise line items when the crew is already in your driveway.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Lighthouse Point
Every three to five years for most Lighthouse Point homes, though canal-front properties with original 1950s-1970s ductwork or visible mold history should consider inspection every two years. The salt humidity here accelerates liner degradation and biofilm growth compared to inland Broward County. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll recommend an interval based on your specific home’s age and HVAC configuration.
The smell is likely coming from the air handler cabinet, evaporator coils, or inner duct liner surfaces that surface vent wiping cannot reach. In Lighthouse Point’s climate, these components stay damp year-round and harbor mold or bacterial biofilm that recirculates through clean-looking vents. Our full-system cleaning includes the blower assembly and cabinet, with camera verification that the source is removed, not just masked.
Yes, and we price each complete system separately so you know exactly what each one costs before we start. A three-system home in Lighthouse Point typically ranges $900-$1,400 total, compared to $350-$550 for a single system. We inspect all three, quote each individually, and you can choose to clean all, some, or one at a time with no pressure to commit to the full property.
You receive a written invoice with the agreed price, timestamped before-and-after photos of the clean-up, and video stills from our camera inspection showing liner condition and fitting integrity. For multi-system homes, we organize this by air handler so you have a record for future maintenance, home sale disclosure, or insurance documentation. This is standard on every Morton’s job, not available only on request.
Yes, measurably so. Lighthouse Point’s hyper-humid, salt-laden microclimate degrades flex duct inner liners and metal fittings faster than in landlocked Broward cities, with partial collapses and fitting separations appearing in 12-15 years versus decades inland. This isn’t theoretical; we document it regularly on camera inspections in canal-front homes, and it’s why we emphasize liner integrity checks as part of every Lighthouse Point service.
On a canal-front street off the south finger, we inspected a 1960s ranch with three separate HVAC systems and found the flex duct inner liner on the original run had separated from the fitting at the air handler, leaking conditioned air into the attic. After setting up negative pressure and using agitation tools, we performed source removal on all supply and return ducts, then verified with a camera inspection that the liner was resealed and the MERV rating on the returns was restored. The homeowner said the musty smell that had lingered for years was gone within a day.
