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 Compton, CA
Air duct cleaning in Compton costs between $350 and $650 for a typical single-family home, with larger ranch-style properties running $500 to $900. We are Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we work in Compton homes every week. The combination of post-WWII housing stock and proximity to the 710 Freeway means ductwork here collects a specific kind of heavy, dark soot that changes how we approach every job. Call us at (323) 918-4345 and we will walk you through exactly what your house needs before anything starts.
Why Compton Homes Are Different
Compton sits directly adjacent to the 710 Freeway, one of the busiest diesel freight corridors in the country. Trucks running between the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and inland distribution hubs pass within blocks of residential neighborhoods all day and night. CalEnviroScreen consistently ranks Compton among the highest pollution-burden communities in California, and that is not an abstract statistic. When we pull a filter from a Compton home along the Alameda Street corridor, it is frequently coated in a dark, sooty residue even when the HVAC unit is only a few years old. The diesel particulate load here simply does not exist at the same concentration in cities a few miles inland.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Most Compton homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s, and many still run original duct systems that are now 50 to 75 years old. Joints separate, interior liners deteriorate, and decades of compacted debris sit in low spots. Then there are the retrofit jobs: flex duct added later in low-clearance attic spaces, sometimes installed poorly, creating collapse points and contamination traps. Add the LA Basin’s thermal inversion layer, which holds ground-level pollutants over the city year-round, and you get ductwork that works against the family living under it.
Our Main Compton Services
Compton homeowners call us most often about two jobs: cleaning the ductwork connected to their central HVAC system, and clearing the dryer vent that runs from the laundry room to the outside. Both are handled by the same background-checked crews, with the same written price before work starts.
Air Duct Cleaning in Compton
Duct cleaning in Compton homes means removing the layer of diesel soot and household debris that builds up faster here than almost anywhere else in LA County. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract what has settled inside your supply and return ducts, then we show you photos of what came out. Homes along the 710 corridor often produce visibly darker debris than homes in neighboring cities, and we account for that extra load when we quote the job.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Compton
Dryer vents in Compton’s older ranch homes often run long horizontal distances through low attics or crawl spaces, and lint accumulates fast in those conditions. A clogged vent forces your dryer to work harder, and in the worst cases the trapped heat creates a real fire risk. We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination point, and we check for the sagging, pinched, or disconnected sections that are common in retrofit installations.

Homes directly along the 710 corridor or with original 1950s ductwork tend to run toward the higher end of these ranges because the accumulated material is thicker and the runs are more difficult to access. Whatever the quote, it is written down and agreed to before we touch a single register, and that is the price on the invoice.
