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 Clifton Heights, PA
Air duct cleaning in Clifton Heights, PA typically costs between $285 and $540 for a whole-home system, with most retrofitted row homes landing in the $325-$450 range because of how their ductwork was installed. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we work on homes where decades of coal dust and wall-cavity debris have been cycling through ducts that simply weren’t designed for forced air. If you’re planning a cleaning in this part of Delaware County, call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before anything starts.
Why Clifton Heights Homes Are Different
Clifton Heights is a tightly packed Delaware County borough where nearly every home was built between 1920 and 1940. These brick row homes and twins originally ran on coal or oil-fired steam heat. There were no ducts. When central air arrived in the 1970s through the 1990s, contractors had to improvise: ducts were threaded through closets, wedged into drop ceilings, and snaked through chase walls never intended to carry airflow. The result is a generation of systems with joints that were taped instead of sealed, long runs through unconditioned basement ceilings, and plenty of places for dust and debris to get pulled in from the wall cavities themselves.
One detail we see often in Clifton Heights: when homeowners converted from coal, the old coal bin became a convenient spot for the air handler. That’s fine functionally, but it means fine black coal particulate often sits in the first few feet of supply ductwork. Standard duct cleaning estimates in this borough rarely account for that, and it shows up in the photos we take before and after every job. Delaware County’s humid summers compound the issue. Ducts running through old, damp basements can develop condensation, which turns ordinary dust into something that clings to the duct walls and requires more than a quick pass to remove.
Our Main Clifton Heights Services
These are the two jobs Clifton Heights homeowners call us about most often, and each has its own detailed page explaining what to expect, what it costs, and how we work in this borough’s older homes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Clifton Heights
Air duct cleaning in a Clifton Heights row home means working around retrofitted ductwork that often runs through tight closets and low basement ceilings. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract debris from supply and return ducts, registers, and the air handler. On many Clifton Heights jobs we’re removing coal particulate, plaster dust from old renovations, and pet hair that has compacted over years. Floors get shoe covers and drop cloths before equipment comes inside, and the price is written down before the work begins. See the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Clifton Heights page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clifton Heights
Dryer vents in Clifton Heights often run from a basement laundry area up through interior walls or out through the roof, and older homes rarely have a straight, short run. Lint builds up faster in those long, angled vents, which slows drying and creates a fire risk. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior vent cap, and we show you what came out before we pack up. You can read more about how this works in Clifton Heights homes on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Clifton Heights page.

"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."
