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 Cleveland, OH
Air duct cleaning in Cleveland costs between $340 and $590 for a typical single-family home, and between $680 and $980 for a Cleveland double. The price depends on how much of the original gravity-furnace ductwork is still in place, which is the single biggest factor that separates Cleveland jobs from anywhere else. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning gives every Cleveland homeowner a written price before any work starts, so you’ll know the number before our crew rolls up. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through what your home needs.
Why Cleveland Homes Are Different
Cleveland’s housing stock is overwhelmingly pre-1950 brick, and a lot of it was built around a heating system that no longer exists. The original gravity-fed “octopus” furnaces in neighborhoods like Slavic Village, Collinwood, Old Brooklyn, and West Park didn’t use blowers. Warm air rose through massive, unlined galvanized trunk lines on its own. When those homes were converted to forced air in the 1950s and 60s, the blower motors were bolted on, and in many cases the original ducts were simply left in place. That means technicians here routinely open basement systems and find 60- or 70-year-old coal and oil soot still coating the trunk line interior, right behind the modern dust.
Add Lake Erie to the picture and the work gets more particular. Cleveland’s lake-effect humidity and heavy snowfall push repeated freeze-thaw moisture cycles into aging ductwork through every loose joint and seam. Forced-air systems run hard from November through April, pulling whatever is growing inside those ducts through the living space all season. A clean that works in a newer suburb doesn’t address what’s actually happening in a 1925 double in Glenville. We plan for it from the first look.
Our Main Cleveland Services
Cleveland homeowners call us most often about two jobs: cleaning the ducts and clearing the dryer vent. Each has its own page with pricing, process, and what to expect in a Cleveland house.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cleveland
Most Cleveland duct systems are bigger, older, and far more contaminated than what you’d find in a newer-build city. We run professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment through the returns, supply lines, and trunk work, removing the layered soot and dust that pre-war ductwork tends to collect. In unfinished Cleveland basements, we’ll often show you the before-and-after photos of your own trunk line so you can see exactly what came out. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Cleveland page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cleveland
Many Cleveland dryers vent through basements and out old brick walls, which makes for longer runs and more lint than a modern first-floor laundry setup. We clear the full vent path, check the exterior cap, and make sure airflow is moving the way it should before we pack up. Linens and towels in a Cleveland winter dry slower when the vent is restricted, which means the dryer works harder and the vent fills faster. Details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cleveland page.

Two things push a Cleveland quote toward the higher end: the sheer diameter of the old gravity ductwork, and how much of it has never been cleaned. Both mean more time. That’s the honest reason for the range. What you won’t get is a surprise. Paul Adeyemi, who leads Morton’s, insists on a written price before anything starts, and the number on that sheet is the number you pay.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Cleveland
Most Cleveland jobs are scheduled within the same week you call. We set a specific arrival window, show up in uniform, and bring shoe covers and drop cloths for the floors from the first step inside. You’ll always talk to a live person when you call, not a voicemail tree.
No permits are required. Duct and dryer vent cleaning is a maintenance service, not a structural change, so Cleveland HOA rules don’t come into play. If you’re in a condo building, we’ll work through the building’s access procedures, but you won’t need city paperwork.
Yes. Many Cleveland doubles share a single furnace and trunk system, which means we can clean both units’ ductwork in one visit. The price reflects the full system, and we’ll confirm before scheduling whether the system is shared or split. Call (323) 918-4345 for an exact quote on your double.

What Cleveland Customers Say
"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."
- Bonnie Vo"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."
