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 Belmont, MA
Air duct cleaning in Belmont usually costs between $450 and $950 for a whole-home system, and the job typically takes 4 to 6 hours. What makes Belmont work a little different from nearby Boston suburbs is the combination of older housing stock, hilly terrain, and damp crawlspaces that push decades of moisture into ductwork. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning approaches every Belmont job with that in mind: a written price before we start, shoe covers and drop cloths inside the house, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Call (323) 918-4345 if you want to talk through what your home needs.
Why Belmont Homes Are Different
Belmont’s residential streets are full of homes built between the 1920s and 1960s, with a large share of colonials, capes, and split-level ranches concentrated near Waverley Square, Belmont Center, and along Trapelo Road. Many of these houses still run their original sheet-metal ductwork, and quite a few have had additions put on over the years that tied new flex duct into old galvanized runs, sometimes not all that carefully. The result is a system with different materials, different ages, and joints that do not always seal the way they should.
The hills change the job, too. Homes in the Belmont Hill and Cushing Square areas often sit on sloped lots with crawlspaces and partial basements that hold moisture against duct runs for years. In our experience, Belmont homes need more attention to rust, separated joints, and mold staining inside the ducts than homes in flatter, newer towns nearby. Add in old plaster walls and radiators that were converted to forced air, and you get returns pulling from closets and hallways that were never really designed for it.
Our Main Belmont Services
Most Belmont homeowners call us about one of two things: getting their air ducts cleaned properly, or getting their dryer vent cleared so the dryer works like it should. Both have their own dedicated Belmont pages, because each one involves different equipment, different pricing, and a different set of local conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Belmont
Most Belmont homes we clean have never been done before, or were done so long ago the homeowners cannot remember when. We see dust caked onto return grilles, pet hair packed into return boots, and sometimes a faint musty smell when the heat kicks on in late fall. Our crews work room by room with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, seal off each register so debris does not drift into living spaces, and protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we walk in. See the full breakdown on the Air Duct Cleaning in Belmont page, including what we do and what it costs.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Belmont
Belmont’s older homes often have long dryer vent runs, especially in basements where the dryer sits against an interior wall and the vent travels 15 or 20 feet before it reaches the outside. Those runs collect lint fast, and a restricted vent means longer dry cycles and a hotter dryer. We clear the full run, check the exterior termination for blockages, and leave the laundry area clean. Details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Belmont page, including pricing for single-story and multi-story homes.

What pushes a Belmont job toward the higher end is usually access: crawlspaces with low clearance, vents that were buried behind finished basement ceilings, or original ductwork that needs a gentler hand and more time. Whatever the number turns out to be, you will have it in writing before any work starts, and that price does not change once the crew arrives.

What Belmont Customers Say
"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."
- Omar Zaid"Ducts and dryer vent both. They put runners down the whole hall and wore booties. Spotless after, and they showed me photos of what came out. Worth every penny."
