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 Pomona
Air duct cleaning in Pomona typically runs $350-$650 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Our crews serve Pomona from our Los Angeles dispatch office, carrying Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for the 1950s-1970s tract homes that dominate this city’s neighborhoods. If you’re noticing weak airflow, filters clogging faster than they used to, or a persistent dusty smell when the system kicks on, we’re the Air Duct Cleaning team to call. Paul Adeyemi and our crew know Pomona’s specific challenges: the Santa Ana dust that funnels through the San Gabriel Mountain passes, the wildfire smoke that settles into ductwork each fall, and that distinctive grayish, oily film we find in homes near the freight corridors. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free written estimate.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Pomona’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our reputation in Pomona has been built one house at a time. Families in the Lincoln Park neighborhood and along East Holt Avenue call us back because we treat their homes like our own: shoe covers and drop cloths before we step inside, quieter tool settings during nap hours, and a written price agreed before any work starts.
Our response time to Pomona is typically same-week scheduling, with our Los Angeles-based crews making the run east on the 10 or 60 depending on traffic patterns. We know which Pomona neighborhoods have the original rigid metal ductwork from the postwar building boom and which developments got early flex duct in the 1970s. That local knowledge matters because a 1960s ranch near Ganesha Park needs a different approach than a 1970s split-level in Phillips Ranch.
Every visit carries the Cedarwell Care Promise and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No exceptions. And a live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail tree.
Vent Cleaning in Pomona
Vent cleaning in Pomona removes the accumulated dust, pet dander, and that distinctive grayish, oily particulate that clings to supply and return registers across the city. In south Pomona especially, near the SR-60/I-10 interchange, we regularly find vent covers coated with a film that standard dusting won’t touch - it’s the diesel-dairy dust combination that sets this area apart from coastal LA. A typical vent cleaning in Pomona runs $120-$280 per system when done as part of a full service, or $180-$350 as a standalone register and grille cleaning for homes that need focused attention at the endpoints.
What We Clean at Each Register
We remove every vent cover, hand-clean the grille and faceplate, and agitate the first several feet of duct behind it with a Rotobrush system equipped with HEPA filtration. In Pomona’s older homes, we often find paint overspray from decades of DIY touch-ups blocking airflow, or registers that were never properly sealed to the drywall.
When Vent Cleaning Makes Sense on Its Own
Some Pomona homeowners call us after a renovation or after noticing one room stays stuffy while others cool fine. Isolated vent cleaning with a camera check of the branch line often reveals a blocked damper or a disconnected flex section that full-system cleaning would miss.
Air Duct Repair in Pomona
Air Duct Repair in Pomona addresses the collapsed flex sections, disconnected joints, and rodent damage we find in systems that have gone decades without professional attention. The city’s housing stock - heavy on 1950s-1970s construction - means we encounter original ductwork that has simply aged past its useful life, particularly in working-class neighborhoods where deferred maintenance has been the norm. Typical air duct repair in Pomona ranges from $200-$450 for localized joint sealing and flex replacement, up to $800-$1,400 for extensive reconfiguration of a deteriorated trunk line.
Common Failures in Older Pomona Systems
We regularly find flex duct that has collapsed internally, creating a blockage that looks like a dirty system but is actually a structural failure. Our camera inspection catches this before we quote any cleaning work. Reconnecting a separated joint in an attic or crawlspace restores airflow without the cost of full replacement.
Sealing and Insulation Gaps
Pomona’s Santa Ana wind events pressurize attics and crawlspaces, forcing unfiltered air through gaps in duct seams. We seal with mastic and proper mechanical fasteners, not duct tape, because tape fails within months in the temperature swings above a Pomona ceiling.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
Our vans carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Aprilaire, with Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration on every job. For Pomona homeowners, this means we can source replacement parts and specialized filters without the delays that come from ordering generic components. When we encounter an Aprilaire media cleaner or a Honeywell electronic air cleaner in a Pomona system, we service it to manufacturer spec rather than bypassing it. Guardsman protective products help us keep your floors and furniture clean while we work. We don’t rent equipment by the day; we own our tools and maintain them to the Cedarwell standard, which means consistent results whether we’re working in north Pomona near the fairgrounds or south toward the 60 freeway.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- The grayish, oily diesel-dairy film. Homes near the SR-60/I-10 interchange accumulate a particulate that standard brushing won’t fully remove. It needs agitation tools with longer dwell time and proper solvent pre-treatment, not a quick vacuum pass.
- Collapsed flex duct in postwar tracts. Original flex sections in 1960s and 1970s Pomona homes have often sagged, torn, or collapsed entirely. We find this with camera inspection before we quote, so you’re not paying to clean a duct that isn’t moving air.
- Wildfire smoke residue after fall Santa Ana events. Pomona’s position below the Angeles National Forest means duct systems pull in smoke particulates that coastal cities rarely see. These ultra-fine particles embed in duct walls and require HEPA-equipped negative pressure removal.
- Microbial growth from humidity and poor drainage. Condensate pans that don’t drain properly in Pomona’s late-summer humidity create damp zones in ductwork. We identify these during inspection and address the moisture source, not just fog the symptom.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Pomona, CA
Full residential air duct cleaning in Pomona typically runs $350-$650 for a single-system home, with larger two-system houses or homes with extensive contamination ranging $550-$950. Commercial duct cleaning starts around $800 and scales with square footage and access difficulty. What moves you within that range: the number of supply and return registers, whether your system uses rigid metal or flex duct (flex takes longer), the contamination load from that diesel-dairy dust combination, and whether we find repairs needed once we’re inside with the camera.
We give you 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. Every estimate is free, and we’ll show you the camera footage so you understand what we’re quoting and why. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Pomona
It’s a dual-source contamination pattern unique to this area: heavy diesel truck exhaust from one of California’s busiest freight corridors mixes with agricultural dust blowing north from the Chino Valley dairy operations, creating a grayish, slightly oily film that coastal cities never see. Standard cleaning protocols designed for ordinary household dust won’t fully break it free; it needs agitation tools and proper dwell time under negative pressure. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll show you what we find in your system on camera.
Yes, particularly in late summer when monsoonal moisture pushes humidity into the 70s and condensate drainage gets overwhelmed. We find active growth in drip pans and the first few feet of downstream duct, especially in homes where the AC runs hard through September. A genuine clean addresses the moisture source and removes visible growth physically; fogging with a “sanitiser” without removing the biomass first is a temporary fix that we don’t recommend. We can assess your system for free.
It’s common in Pomona and it’s addressable, but it requires a careful approach. Original rigid metal duct from that era often has lead paint on the exterior, asbestos wrap at joints, or deteriorated fiberglass liner inside, all of which change how we access and clean. We always camera-inspect first, and we’ll show you exactly what we’re working with before we quote any work. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our cleaning; if conditions require repair or partial replacement, we’ll explain why and price it separately before we proceed.
NADCA membership is voluntary, not a legal requirement in Pomona or anywhere in California. We follow NADCA-recommended source-removal methods because they work, but our primary accountability is the Cedarwell Care Promise and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Ask any duct cleaner about their warranty and their process for proving the work was done; we provide before-and-after photos and a written completion report. Call (323) 918-4345 to ask Paul Adeyemi directly about our methods.
Cleaning the lint trap prevents about 25% of the lint a dryer produces; the rest accumulates in the transition duct and the exterior vent run, creating a genuine fire hazard that lint-trap cleaning doesn’t touch. In Pomona, we also find that exterior vent hoods get clogged with the same fine dust that fills air ducts, particularly after Santa Ana wind events. Our dryer vent cleaning runs $150-$280 and includes airflow testing before and after to prove the improvement. We include a photo of the clean-up before we leave, just like our duct jobs.
