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 Decatur, GA
Air duct cleaning in Decatur, GA typically costs between $450 and $900 for a whole-home system, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. Decatur’s housing stock is older than almost anywhere else in metro Atlanta, and that changes what we find inside the ducts. If you live in a 1920s craftsman bungalow in Oakhurst or a 1950s ranch in Winnona Park, your ductwork probably wasn’t part of the original build, and that retrofit history leaves behind condensation, fiber shedding, and pollen that newer homes simply don’t accumulate the same way. Call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning at (323) 918-4345 for a written price before any work begins.
Why Decatur Homes Are Different
Most of Decatur’s housing stock was built before 1960, and very little of it came with central air. When HVAC was retrofitted into these homes, often during the 1960s and 1970s, contractors ran flex duct through crawl spaces instead of sealed attics because the roof lines of craftsman bungalows don’t leave much room. That means duct runs in Oakhurst and Winnona Park sit in damp, unconditioned space for most of the year. Georgia’s subtropical humidity keeps those crawl spaces wet from May through October, and condensation pools inside the duct runs. Homeowners are often surprised to see black mold on supply registers while the furnace itself is only a few years old. The duct pathways, not the HVAC unit, are the problem.
Decatur’s tree canopy compounds this. The city has protected tree ordinances that keep its overhead cover thick, and that’s a genuine point of pride for residents. But it also means spring pollen and organic debris loads inside duct systems run far higher than in the newer, more open subdivisions of neighboring Tucker or Stone Mountain. Every April, we pull handfuls of pollen from return registers in Decatur that we simply don’t see in those newer communities.
Older fiberglass duct board interiors also degrade over time. When that material sheds fibers, those fibers circulate through the home. A surface cleaning won’t resolve it. The condition of the duct board itself determines whether it needs to be sealed, repaired, or replaced, and that’s a conversation we have with Decatur homeowners more often than anywhere else in the metro.
Our Main Decatur Services
Most Decatur homeowners call us for two things: cleaning the supply and return ductwork that circulates air through the house, and clearing the dryer vent that exhausts lint outside. Each has its own dedicated Decatur page below with pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Decatur
Air duct cleaning in Decatur means more than running a brush through the main trunk line. In Oakhurst and Winnona Park bungalows, we’re usually working with flex-duct runs that sag in crawl spaces, collecting condensation and whatever that moisture grows. Our technicians use professional-grade equipment from Nikro and Abatement Technologies to agitate and extract debris from the full duct network, including the return side, which carries the heaviest pollen load in spring. We protect your floors with shoe covers and drop cloths before any equipment comes through the door. Read the full breakdown on Air Duct Cleaning in Decatur.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Decatur
Dryer vents in older Decatur homes are often longer and more convoluted than code would allow today, because the laundry room was usually added wherever it fit during a remodel. Lint accumulates faster in those long runs, and the humidity of a Georgia summer makes it stick. We clean the full vent path from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, and we photograph the clean-up before we leave. You’ll see exactly what was removed. Details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Decatur page.

What Decatur Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
