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 North Palm Beach
Air duct cleaning in North Palm Beach typically runs $350-$650 for a full residential system and $500-$1,200 for commercial buildings, with most jobs completed in a single scheduled visit. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews work North Palm Beach regularly - from the canal-front CBS homes east of US-1 near Lighthouse Drive to the condos along PGA Boulevard. Scheduling is coordinated from our Miami office, but the technicians who arrive at your door know this village’s specific housing stock and the humidity problems that come with it. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free written estimate before any work starts.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our reputation in North Palm Beach has been built one home at a time - mostly through neighbors telling neighbors which crew actually protects floors, works quietly around napping kids, and leaves a photo of the clean-up before walking out the door. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values, which means shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment they step inside, quieter tool settings when there’s a baby sleeping down the hall, and pet-safe product choices wherever we can use them.
Response time to North Palm Beach is typically same-week scheduling, sometimes sooner depending on season. We know the difference between a home on a tidal canal east of US-1 and something inland near Prosperity Farms Road - and we know the duct problems each one develops. That local knowledge matters because a crew that treats every house the same will miss the delaminated duct board and moisture reservoirs that define this village’s housing stock.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise and the Cedarwell Care Promise: written price upfront, no exceptions; shoe covers and drop cloths included; and a photo of your clean-up before we leave. A live person answers our phone 24/7 - not a chatbot, not a voicemail tree.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in North Palm Beach
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in North Palm Beach means addressing a specific problem set that inland Palm Beach County homes rarely see: original or early-replacement ductwork running through scorching unconditioned attics while canal-side humidity keeps exterior relative humidity near saturation ten to twelve months a year. A typical whole-home residential clean in North Palm Beach runs $350-$650 depending on system size, accessibility, and whether we find delaminated duct board that needs section replacement. We use Rotobrush agitation systems with HEPA-contained negative pressure, not a shop vac and a prayer.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms; returns pull it back. In North Palm Beach’s 1960s CBS homes, both are vulnerable. Supply trunks often suffer delaminated fiberglass duct board that bows inward and chokes airflow, while return plenums collect the humid, salt-laden air that feeds microbial growth. We clean both sides of the loop because cleaning only one is half a job.
Full System Cleaning with Video Inspection
Before we start, we run a camera. After we finish, we run it again. You’ll see the difference in your own ducts - not a verbal assurance, but footage of the before and after. In North Palm Beach’s older homes, this often reveals delamination the homeowner didn’t know existed, explaining why the “weak AC” never got better with a refrigerant top-off.
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in North Palm Beach
Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in North Palm Beach covers the medical offices along US-1, the retail strips near PGA Boulevard, and the professional buildings that serve this village’s compact commercial core. Commercial systems run $500-$1,200 depending on square footage, number of air handlers, and whether the building shares the village’s characteristic humidity load. We work after hours and weekends to avoid disrupting your patients or customers, and we protect floors and furnishings the same way we do in homes - drop cloths, corner guards, and quiet conversation.
Office and Medical Building Duct Maintenance
North Palm Beach’s commercial buildings often sit on the same canal-side fill as the residential neighborhoods, with the same humidity challenges. Rooftop units and ceiling plenums in 1970s-era professional buildings develop condensation-driven mold that standard filter changes won’t touch. We use Nikro and Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment sized for commercial airflow, with containment protocols that keep your space operational.
Post-Construction and Renovation Cleaning
Remodeling a 1960s CBS building in North Palm Beach almost always disturbs old duct board and fiberglass insulation. We clean the system before you reopen to occupants, with written documentation of what was removed and what the final particulate readings showed.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
Our crews arrive with professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies - the brands that technicians actually use when the job matters, not rental-grade gear from a big-box store. We stock common fittings and replacement duct board locally for North Palm Beach jobs, so when we find delaminated sections that need more than cleaning, we can often replace them same visit rather than scheduling a return trip. That matters in a village where the housing stock is old enough that standard sizes have shifted, and where waiting a week for parts means another week of short-cycling equipment and muggy rooms.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Delaminated fiberglass duct board in canal-side attics. On a canal-front CBS home off Lighthouse Drive, our tech pulled a supply trunk and found the original fiberglass duct board had delaminated and bowed inward - the homeowner had been calling it “weak AC” for two summers. We ran a camera inspection through the supply and return ducts, set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and used agitation tools to break the mold-laden liner loose for source removal. Airflow at the far registers came back, and the blower motor stopped short-cycling on the high-limit.
- Mistaking duct failure for equipment failure. Too many North Palm Beach homeowners have paid for refrigerant top-offs, capacitor swaps, or even new condensers when the real problem was delaminated duct board choking airflow. The equipment works fine; the air can’t get to the rooms.
- Fogging “sanitizers” sold as mold remediation. A mist of antimicrobial chemical does not remove mold from porous fiberglass duct board. In North Palm Beach’s year-round saturation humidity, the moisture reservoir in the liner remains, and mold recolonizes within a season. Source removal with agitation and negative pressure is the only approach that lasts.
- Agitation without containment on 1960s flex duct systems. Disturbing decades of accumulated debris in original flex duct without HEPA-contained negative pressure just redistributes spores through your living space. We see this after cut-rate jobs where the homeowner’s allergies actually worsened.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in North Palm Beach
Canal-front homes east of US-1 sit in near-saturated exterior humidity year-round, while their original ductwork runs through unconditioned attics that hit 140°F in summer. That temperature differential drives chronic condensation inside duct systems, feeding mold growth and causing fiberglass duct board to delaminate. Inland homes with drier air and newer construction don’t experience the same moisture cycling, so their ducts degrade more slowly. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote on your home - estimates are free.
No. Fogging leaves the mold in place, especially on porous fiberglass duct board, and the antimicrobial chemical itself can be a respiratory irritant. In North Palm Beach’s persistent humidity, mold recolonizes within a season because the moisture reservoir in the delaminated liner never went away. Source removal with mechanical agitation and HEPA-contained negative pressure is the only method that physically extracts the contamination. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll show you the camera footage of what source removal actually accomplishes.
Delaminated duct board separates into layers, with the interior fiberglass liner bowing inward and restricting airflow - sometimes by 30% or more. On a 1960s North Palm Beach CBS home, this looks like a sagging, gray-brown tube with visible fiber shedding and often dark spotting where mold has colonized the glue lines. It matters because homeowners and even some HVAC techs misdiagnose it as “weak AC” and throw money at equipment repairs instead of fixing the airway. Call (323) 918-4345 for a camera inspection that shows you exactly what’s in your attic.
We provide before-and-after video footage from inside your duct runs, plus a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves your home. The Cedarwell Care Promise requires both. You’ll see the debris removal, the condition of the duct board, and the state of your floors and furnishings. No verbal assurances. Visual proof. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.
Yes, particularly 1970s-era professional buildings with rooftop units and ceiling plenums on the same canal-side fill. Commercial systems often have larger air volumes that mask airflow restrictions longer, but the condensation, mold colonization, and degraded insulation follow the same pattern. The difference is scale and occupancy - more people breathing affected air, and more liability if you ignore it. Call (323) 918-4345 for a commercial assessment and written estimate.
