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 Cheney, WA
Air duct cleaning in Cheney, WA costs between $420 and $650 for a typical single-family home, depending on system size and how much Palouse dust has settled into the returns. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we work in Cheney homes where the ducts carry a particular signature: fine loess from surrounding wheat fields, years of student-tenant turnover, and heating systems that run hard from October through March. Call us at (323) 918-4345 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Cheney Homes Are Different
Cheney sits at the western edge of the Palouse, and the fine windblown loess dust from surrounding wheat-farming operations gets into homes at a density you won’t find in nearby Spokane. During late-August harvest, our techs regularly pull a gritty, almost clay-like layer out of return-air plenums in Cheney homes. It’s denser and more compacted than typical household lint, and it settles fast because the dry summer winds push agricultural particulate through any return-air gap. Add a continental, semi-arid climate where furnaces run long and hard from October through March, and the dust cycle in Cheney compresses compared to moister cities west of the Cascades.
Then there’s the housing stock. Much of Cheney’s residential inventory near Eastern Washington University consists of 1960s-1980s rental homes and low-rise apartment buildings. These systems were built before modern filtration was common, and many still have original sheet-metal runs or flex duct that has accumulated debris across decades of short-term occupants. A rental that turns over every nine months rarely sees duct maintenance between tenants, so a home rented to students for fifteen years may have had fifteen different households’ worth of dust, pet hair, and cooking residue moving through the same returns.
Our Main Cheney Services
The two calls we get most from Cheney homeowners are air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own Cheney page with more detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cheney
In Cheney, air duct cleaning means removing the compacted loess layer from return plenums, cleaning supply and return runs, and replacing the filter with something that can handle Palouse particulate. We run Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for older sheet-metal and flex duct alike, and we protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment our crew walks in. A written price is provided before any work starts, so you know the full number up front. Air Duct Cleaning in Cheney covers what we find in town and what to expect on the day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheney
Dryer vents in Cheney rental homes and older single-family houses are often original 4-inch runs that haven’t been opened in years, and lint plus Palouse dust can pack tightly in a vent that runs through a crawlspace or up an exterior wall. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, check airflow, and leave a photo of the work before we go. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheney explains what a blocked vent in this area looks like and how we clear it.

In Cheney, the biggest price driver is how much compacted loess has settled into the return plenums and how long the system has gone without attention. Older rental homes near campus that haven’t been cleaned in years tend to land at the upper end of these ranges because the runs take longer to clear properly. Whatever the number, you get a written price before any work starts, and that’s the price on the invoice.

What Cheney 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."
