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 Burlingame, CA
Burlingame sits right under the landing paths of SFO, and that single fact changes what’s inside your ductwork more than almost anything else. Homes here collect a fine, dark, gritty particulate that isn’t ordinary household dust. It’s airport-adjacent air, pulled into your return vents and baked onto duct walls over time. Add in 1920s-through-1950s housing with retrofitted HVAC running through tight crawl spaces, and most Burlingame systems need cleaning more frequently than the standard every-few-years advice assumes. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles this with written pricing before work starts, shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (323) 918-4345 if you’d rather just talk it through.
Why Burlingame Homes Are Different
We clean ducts all over the Peninsula, and we can usually tell a Burlingame system before we see the address on the work order. The original 1920s-1950s homes in Burlingame Park, Easton Addition, and Ray Park were built long before central forced-air, and their duct retrofits often run through narrow, unconditioned crawl spaces that are genuinely hard to access. Joint separations in those old crawl-space runs pull in whatever’s down there: construction debris, rodent activity, damp soil air. Then the summer marine layer pushes indoor humidity up for weeks longer than what inland cities experience. When moist air hits cool metal duct surfaces in uninsulated crawl spaces, condensation forms, and that’s exactly where mold likes to start. On top of all that, homes under the SFO flight corridors collect jet-exhaust ultrafine particulates continuously. It settles in the return ducts as a dark, gritty film that homeowners often notice on vents near windows facing the runways. All of this makes Burlingame duct cleaning a moisture-and-particulate job, not just a dust vacuum job.
Our Main Burlingame Services
Burlingame homeowners call us most for these two services, each with its own page outlining local conditions, what to expect, and honest pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Burlingame
Most Burlingame jobs are older homes with crawl-space duct runs and several decades of accumulated particulates inside. We use truck-mounted and portable Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract debris from every supply and return register, including those hard-to-reach crawl-space transitions. Before anything starts you get a written price for the whole system, not per vent, and after the work we show you photos of what came out and what the cleaned ducts look like. For a full breakdown of what Burlingame systems typically need, visit our dedicated Air Duct Cleaning in Burlingame page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burlingame
Older Burlingame laundry rooms often route vents through long, narrow runs with multiple elbows, and when the vent exits through a crawl space instead of directly outside, lint buildup accelerates. We clean the full length of the vent with rotary brushes and high-velocity air so the system moves moisture the way it should. Every visit includes a written price upfront and a photo of the cleaned vent before the crew leaves. Read more about how it works in Burlingame homes on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burlingame page.

What Burlingame 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."
