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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Arlington, TX
Air duct cleaning in Arlington, TX typically costs $350-$550 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. Arlington’s older housing stock means ductwork here faces conditions that newer suburbs don’t: decades of 140°F-plus attic heat, heavy spring pollen, and clay-soil movement that shifts slab foundations over time. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning works in Arlington homes every week, and we write the price down before any work starts. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Arlington Homes Are Different
Arlington grew fast between the 1960s and 1980s, and that growth left a specific kind of house: single-story ranch and split-level homes on concrete slabs. In Texas slab construction, ductwork almost always runs through the attic rather than a basement, which means the system that carries your conditioned air sits in the hottest part of the house. In July and August, Arlington attics routinely exceed 140°F, and flex duct insulation was never designed for that kind of repeated heat cycling.
What we find in Arlington homes east of Collins Street is often more involved than what we find a few miles west. Clay soil under older slabs expands and contracts with North Texas drought and rain cycles, and over 40 or 50 years that movement can shift an air handler platform enough to pull flex duct loose at the plenum or compress it at bends. Add in spring cedar and Bermuda-grass pollen seasons that run heavy across the DFW Metroplex, and you have systems that move a lot of particulate through ducting that has already degraded. The job in Arlington is rarely just a surface clean; it’s an inspection of where the system has failed and where it’s about to.
Our Main Arlington Services
Arlington homeowners call us most often for two things: a full air duct cleaning and, separately, dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own Arlington page with pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington service starts with an inspection of the entire duct system, including attic runs where flex duct has often separated or collapsed after years of heat exposure. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract debris from supply and return lines, the plenum, and branch runs. In Arlington’s older homes, we pay special attention to first-replacement fiberglass flex duct that has become brittle; if something is detached at the plenum, we document it and tell you before we clean. Every job includes shoe covers, drop cloths, and a written price before work begins.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Arlington service addresses the specific ways Arlington homes build up lint. Many 1960s-1980s ranches have long dryer vent runs that exit through the roof or a side wall at an indirect angle, and those runs collect lint faster when the dryer works against a long path. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination and check for crushed flex sections, which are common where vents pass through tight attic spaces. Before-and-after photos come with every job, and the price is written down before we start.

Almost never. Duct and dryer vent cleaning is interior work that doesn’t alter the home’s exterior, so HOA approval generally isn’t required. The exception is if your vent termination is on a shared wall or you’re in a townhome community with different rules. Your HOA’s covenants are the final word, but we’ve done hundreds of Arlington HOA homes without issue.
We see that a lot, especially in homes built in the 1970s and 1980s. The first clean is usually the longest because the debris has had decades to accumulate. Expect more visible dirt in the return lines, and plan for the possibility that flex duct has separated or compressed in the attic. We document everything and give you a price for the cleaning and any repair before work starts.

What Arlington Customers Say
"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
- Shelby Dunham"New house, old dusty ducts. They were gentle in the house, laid down drop cloths, and double checked every register was sealed back up. Air smells fresh now."
- Scott Hemmings"Friendly, calm crew that clearly cared about the house. Covered their shoes, protected the floors, and double checked they'd closed up every vent cover properly. Would have them back."
