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 Daly City, CA
Air duct cleaning in Daly City is different from anywhere else on the Peninsula because of what the marine layer does to aging ductwork. Most homes here are Doelger tract houses built between 1948 and 1965, and their original galvanized sheet-metal ducts now sit in crawl spaces that rarely fully dry. That combination means Daly City homeowners deal with condensation-driven dust buildup and mold inside ducts at a rate you simply don’t see five miles inland. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning serves the whole city, and you can reach a live person any time at (323) 918-4345.
Why Daly City Homes Are Different
The Westlake district, Serramonte, and the surrounding tracts are dominated by post-WWII Doelger stucco homes: thousands of nearly identical 2 to 3 bedroom layouts with central forced-air heating and duct runs through low-clearance crawl spaces. Technicians who work these streets see the same furnace-closet placement and the same perimeter register configuration house after house. That uniformity, helpful as it is for diagnosing problems quickly, comes with a shared weakness. The original ductwork is now 60 to 75 years old, and Daly City’s fog is the heaviest in the Bay Area. Dense summer fog and elevated year-round humidity infiltrate those crawl-space runs, driving condensation inside the ducts. In the 18-inch crawl spaces under Doelger homes, the ground is almost never fully dry, which is why flex-duct sections added during 1980s furnace upgrades so often show collapsed inner liners or visible mold by the time a homeowner notices a musty smell from the registers. The marine layer does not let up, and neither does the work it creates.
Our Main Daly City Services
These are the two calls we get most often from Daly City homeowners. Each has its own page with full pricing and detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Daly City
Most Daly City homes still run their original forced-air systems, and in a Doelger tract house that usually means 60-plus-year-old galvanized ducts sitting in a damp crawl space. We clean the full system with professional equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, not rental gear, and we give you a written price before any work begins. If your registers smell musty when the heat kicks on, or if dust returns to surfaces within days of cleaning, the ducts are the likely culprit. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Daly City page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Daly City
Daly City’s laundry rooms are often tucked against exterior walls, and the vent runs are short but frequently clog with the kind of fine lint that coastal humidity turns into a damp, compacted plug. A restricted dryer vent means longer dry times, hotter cycles, and a real fire risk. Our team cleans the full vent run and verifies airflow, always with a written price agreed before the job starts. Details and honest pricing are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Daly City page.

What pushes a Daly City job toward the upper end is usually access. Doelger crawl spaces are tight and damp, and duct runs that were modified with flex sections in the 1980s often require careful handling and occasional liner replacement. Whatever the scope, you get one written price per system before we start, and that price is what you pay.

What Daly City 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."
