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.

Call (323) 918-4345 for a free written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve been serving Baltimore homeowners since Morton’s joined the Cedarwell family in 2005. Our dispatch team coordinates from our Cleveland office, but the crews that roll up to your rowhouse know Baltimore’s housing stock intimately: the shared chases, the retrofitted flex duct crammed through floor cavities, the stone basements where humidity never quits. We bring Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for tight access, and we protect your floors with drop cloths and shoe covers from the moment we walk in. If you’ve got a toddler napping upstairs or a dog who hates strangers, we work quieter and move slower. That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise in action.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Baltimore’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
Baltimore families call us back because we treat their homes like our own. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values: Communicate, Act with integrity, Respect the home, and Exceed expectations. That means written prices before work starts, every time. No surprises on the invoice.
We answer the phone with a live person, 24/7. Not a chatbot, not a voicemail tree. When you’re staring at a dryer that won’t dry and wondering if it’s safe to run another load, you talk to someone who can actually schedule you.
Every job ends with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. Full stop. And we leave proof: a photo of the clean-up, taken before we pack up, so you see the home left better than we found it.
Our Baltimore customers specifically mention the relief of upfront pricing in reviews. They’ve been burned before by crews who lowballed over the phone and tripled the bill on-site. That doesn’t happen here. The price we write down is the price you pay.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Baltimore
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company work in Baltimore means understanding rowhouse construction that suburban techs rarely encounter. We’re not just pulling lint from a straight four-foot pipe out a laundry room wall. In neighborhoods from Pigtown to Waverly, dryer vents snake through shared interior chases, drop into damp basements, or stack through multiple floors with bends that trap debris for years. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses camera inspection before agitation, so we know what we’re dealing with before we touch anything.
A typical single-unit dryer vent cleaning in Baltimore runs $150-$225. Shared-stack or multi-unit jobs run $200-$400. Bird guard installation adds $75-$150. Vent cap replacement runs $50-$125 depending on the fitting. We give you that range in writing before we start.
What We Clean and Remove
We extract compacted lint, nest debris, and any obstruction blocking airflow. In Baltimore’s older housing, we often find decades of accumulation where flex duct was retrofitted through floor cavities with no clean-out ports. Our Rotobrush system with negative-pressure containment pulls it out without spreading dust through your living space.
When Baltimore Homeowners Should Schedule
If your dryer needs two cycles, smells hot, or the exterior vent flapper barely moves, you’re past due. For rowhouse renters, we coordinate with landlords for multi-unit buildings. Annual cleaning is sensible for heavy-use households; every two years works for lighter use.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Baltimore
Dryer Vent Inspection in Baltimore is where we start every job, and it’s often the most valuable service we provide. A proper inspection with a borescope camera reveals crushed flex duct behind knee walls, lint packed in shared chases, and terminations that dump into basements instead of outside. These are failure modes we see weekly in Baltimore, rarely in suburban construction. A standard inspection runs $99-$149, applied toward cleaning if you proceed.
We recommend an inspection before buying any older Baltimore rowhouse, before renting out a unit, or if you’ve had repeated drying problems that cleaning elsewhere didn’t fix. The camera doesn’t lie, and the photos belong to you.
Camera Inspection Process
Our tech feeds a lighted borescope through the full vent run, recording video of every joint, bend, and termination. We look for lint accumulation, moisture damage, improper slope, and structural damage to the duct. You’ll see what we see. No guesswork.
Inspection Reports for Landlords and Property Managers
We provide dated, photo-documented reports for multi-unit buildings in Fells Point, Canton, and Station North. These satisfy insurance requirements, document pre-existing conditions, and support annual maintenance scheduling across your portfolio.
Trusted Brands We Service in Baltimore
We clean and inspect all major dryer brands, and we stock common venting components from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies for fast turnaround on repairs and replacements. Baltimore’s humidity and salt air corrode cheap hardware fast, so we use galvanized or stainless fittings rated for this environment. If your vent cap is crumbling or your bird guard is missing, we carry the right replacement and install it the same visit. No waiting for parts, no return trips.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Baltimore Homes
- Basement terminations in damp stone foundations. Short vent runs that dump directly into unconditioned basements create a perfect storm: lint clumps absorb moisture, mold colonizes the mass, and airflow chokes to nothing. We see this in pre-war rowhouses from Edmondson Village to Highlandtown.
- Shared chases in multi-unit buildings. Lint from one apartment’s dryer migrates into neighboring runs through gaps in old masonry chases. One unit tests “clean” while another backs up. We inspect the full stack, not just the individual branch.
- Crushed flex duct in retrofitted floor cavities. Duct routed through spaces never engineered for it gets compressed by settling joists or knee-wall framing. Standard cleaning tools skip right past the blockage. Our camera catches what agitation alone misses.
- Humidity-driven corrosion of exterior fittings. Baltimore’s Chesapeake Bay moisture destroys cheap vent caps in two to three years. We replace with proper galvanized or stainless hardware that lasts.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Baltimore
Your rowhouse vent is probably longer, more bent, and more humid than suburban construction. Shared chases, basement terminations, and retrofitted flex duct create multiple lint traps that straight exterior-wall vents simply don’t have. Baltimore’s dense housing stock is the difference. Call (323) 918-4345 if you’re fighting repeated clogs; we’ll camera-inspect and find the root cause.
We inspect the full stack with a camera, coordinate access with all affected units, and clean from multiple access points to prevent pushing lint into neighboring runs. We document everything for the landlord. Multi-unit jobs take longer and cost $200-$400, but one thorough cleaning beats repeated callbacks.
Yes. The lint trap catches only a fraction of fiber; the rest deposits in the vent run. In shared chases, accumulated lint can ignite and spread between units. We find dangerous buildup in vents with pristine lint traps regularly. Annual inspection is the only way to know your full run is clear.
Expect us to protect your floors first, then run a camera through the complete vent path. We’ll show you crushed sections, moisture damage, improper terminations, or lint accumulation. The inspection takes 30-45 minutes. You get photos, a written report, and a firm quote for any needed cleaning or repairs. Schedule at (323) 918-4345.
Humidity accelerates two problems: lint clumps into dense, airflow-blocking masses when damp, and moisture in basement terminations breeds mold that further restricts the vent. Baltimore’s Chesapeake Bay climate makes a marginal vent fail faster than in drier regions. If your basement smells musty or your dryer’s performance drops in summer, humidity is likely involved.
