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.
Fast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Bronx

We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bronx crews know the difference between a simple side-wall termination and the shared rooftop manifolds you’ll find in pre-war walk-ups along the Grand Concourse. Our dispatch office coordinates scheduling from our New York City location, and we’ve routed enough trucks through Tremont, Highbridge, and Mott Haven to know which buildings need advance notice to superintendents and which have roof access locked until 9 a.m.

Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Bronx’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our reputation in the Bronx rests on one thing: we do what we said we’d do, at the price we said we’d do it, and we leave proof. Every visit carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise, stamped on the work order, not offered only if you complain. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values, which means shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment they cross your threshold, quiet tool settings during nap hours, and pet-safe product choices where the building allows.
Bronx customers mention the same relief in their reviews: the written price came before any work started, and the photo of the clean-up arrived before the crew left. No per-vent add-ons. No surprise charges because the run was “longer than expected.” We see a lot of long runs here. We price for reality, not for bait-and-switch.
Our crews serve Bronx locally, not dispatched from some central warehouse three states away. That means familiarity with NYCHA protocols, co-op board notification requirements in buildings like Co-op City, and the specific access constraints of pre-war tenements where the vent run disappears into a plaster chase four floors up.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Bronx
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company work in the Bronx means understanding architecture that most U.S. markets never encounter. A typical job here involves runs of 25-40 feet with multiple elbows, terminating not on a neat exterior wall but on a shared rooftop manifold or interior light-well shaft serving eight to twenty units. Standard lint-brush kits from the hardware store reach maybe six feet. The rest of that packed lint sits in the dark, slowly choking airflow, extending dry times, and in worst cases, creating a fire load in a shared shaft where one unit’s problem becomes everyone’s hazard.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team uses Rotobrush whip systems and Nikro HEPA-filtered negative-air machines to agitate and extract lint through the full run length, not just the accessible portion. We scope the line with a camera to verify clear discharge. In the Bronx, where diesel particulate from the Cross Bronx Expressway binds with lint into dense, oily mats, visual confirmation matters more than a “feels clear” guess.
When Bronx Homeowners Need Service
Two full cycles to dry a standard load. A laundry room that feels humid or smells musty after drying. The dryer exterior hot to touch. These are the signals we hear most from Bronx callers, especially in older buildings where the vent run has never been professionally cleaned. If your building’s shared shaft hasn’t been serviced in years, your individual trap-cleaning helps, but it doesn’t solve the bottleneck upstream.
What a Full Clean Includes
We disconnect the flex line, clean the transition duct, run agitation tools through the full rigid run to termination, inspect the exterior cap or manifold connection, and reassemble with proper supports and a metal flex connection. No vinyl flex. No foil tape that’ll peel in six months. We photograph the clean-up before we leave, and we provide a written completion summary for your records or your building management.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Bronx
Dryer Vent Inspection in the Bronx is often the most valuable service we offer, because so many problems hide where no resident can see them. Terminations behind brick parapets, screened caps clogged with lint and pigeon debris, or shared rooftop manifolds with separated duct tape creating blow-by into attic spaces. A proper inspection uses a borescope camera through the full run, documents airflow measurements at the termination, and identifies code or safety issues before they become emergencies.
We recommend an inspection before any major appliance replacement, after any building-wide roofing or masonry work that might have disturbed the termination, and as part of due diligence when purchasing in a co-op where the vent infrastructure is common property. In buildings along the Tremont corridor, we also inspect for diesel soot loading that indicates the run is drawing contaminated air from exterior wall penetrations or poorly sealed chase connections.
Inspection Documentation
You receive dated photos of the full run interior, airflow velocity readings, and a written condition report with any recommended repairs or cleaning. This documentation satisfies most co-op board requirements and provides baseline data for comparing future inspections. If we find immediate hazards, we flag them on site and discuss options before any additional work proceeds.
Coordination with Building Management
Shared infrastructure means shared responsibility. We handle superintendent notification, roof access scheduling, and any required Certificates of Insurance. We’ve worked with NYCHA management, Co-op City boards, and small private landlords across the Bronx. The paperwork doesn’t surprise us, and we don’t let it delay your service.
Trusted Brands We Service in Bronx
Our vans carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, not rental-shop attachments that lose suction halfway up a tenement chase. Rotobrush flexible whip systems navigate the tight elbows common in Bronx retrofits. Nikro HEPA-filtered negative-air machines contain lint and particulate during extraction, critical in basement laundry rooms with limited ventilation. Guardsman accessories handle the specialized caps and terminations found on older masonry buildings. We stock common replacement caps, bird guards, and transition fittings sized for the 4-inch rigid duct standard in most Bronx construction, so most repairs don’t require a return visit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Bronx Homes
- Shared rooftop manifolds packed with legacy lint. In 1960s-70s tower complexes and converted tenements, eight to twenty dryer runs converge on a single rooftop manifold that was never designed for maintenance access. Lint compresses into a felt-like mat that blocks discharge for the whole stack. We coordinate roof access and clean the manifold itself, not just individual runs.
- Diesel soot binding with lint in Tremont and Mott Haven basements. Buildings within a few blocks of the Cross Bronx Expressway pull oily particulate through exterior wall penetrations. It mixes with lint into a dense, sticky residue that resists standard brushes. Our Rotobrush agitation tools and solvent-free pre-treatment break the bond, with camera verification before we call it done.
- Terminations hidden behind parapets or in light-wells. No one checks what they can’t see. Screens clogged with lint, missing flappers, or disconnected ducts blowing into brick cavities all show up on our inspections. We’ve found dryers “venting” into sealed chases for years, with the moisture feeding mold behind plaster.
- Excessive run length with amateur additions. Pre-war buildings retrofitted for laundry sometimes have 50-foot runs with four elbows, pushing the dryer beyond manufacturer specifications. We measure static pressure and recommend rerouting or booster fan installation where appropriate, documented for your board or insurance.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bronx, NY
A standard dryer vent cleaning in the Bronx runs $150-$250 for accessible single-family or townhouse runs up to 15 feet with side-wall termination. Long runs in pre-war tenements and tower complexes, typically 25-40 feet with rooftop or light-well termination, range $250-$350. Dryer vent inspection with full camera documentation runs $125-$175, credited toward cleaning if performed same visit. Vent rerouting, bird guard installation, or cap replacement quoted individually after inspection, with written prices before any work begins.
What affects cost: run length and elbow count, termination access (roof, light-well, or exterior wall), presence of dense diesel-soot loading requiring extended agitation time, and coordination with building management for shared infrastructure. We do not quote per-vent prices that balloon on arrival. One flat price per system, agreed in writing, every time.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bronx
Every 12-18 months for most Bronx buildings, versus the 2-3 year interval typical in suburban homes with short, direct exterior terminations. The combination of longer runs, shared manifolds, and diesel particulate loading near the Cross Bronx Expressway accelerates buildup. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll assess your specific run length and environment.
Yes. In buildings with rooftop or light-well manifolds, a clogged run creates back-pressure that reduces airflow for the entire stack. Moisture and heat migrate into adjacent units or common shafts. That’s why we coordinate with building management and inspect the shared infrastructure, not just your individual connection.
We follow NADCA-recommended practices for containment, agitation, and verification on every job, adapted for the specific constraints of Bronx construction. HEPA filtration, negative-air containment, and post-cleaning camera verification are standard on our tower-complex and tenement work.
Likely because moisture isn’t exiting properly. A partially blocked vent, disconnected duct in a wall cavity, or shared manifold with restricted discharge traps humidity that should be outside. The smell often indicates mold-friendly conditions in the chase or surrounding construction. An inspection locates the exact failure point. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule.
Yes, on every job without exception. If something isn’t right, we make it right. The promise is stamped on your work order, not offered only if you ask. Combined with our written upfront pricing and photo documentation of every clean-up, it’s how we’ve built trust with Bronx families since 2005.
