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.

AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Hudson
Dryer vent cleaning in Hudson typically runs $150-$275 for a standard single-family system, and most jobs are completed in under two hours with the dryer back in service the same day. We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning team at Morton’s, and we’ve been working in the Apsley Street worker cottages, the ranch homes off Route 85, and the rural spreads out past the Assabet River wetlands since 2005. Our crews dispatch from our Miami coordination office and carry the full Rotobrush and Nikro rig to Hudson every day of the week. Call (323) 918-4345 and you’ll reach a live person, 24/7, who can schedule you and give you a written price before anyone touches your dryer.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Hudson’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Hudson by understanding what other crews miss. The mill-worker cottages near Main and Apsley Streets weren’t built for forced-air systems, and the dryer vent runs in those homes follow paths that don’t show up in any textbook. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values, which means shoe covers and drop cloths before we step through your door, quiet tools if there’s a toddler napping, and pet-safe product choices where they apply.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. Full stop. We also leave a photo of the clean-up before we go, so you can see exactly what was removed and how we left your laundry space.
Our response time to Hudson is typically next-day or within 48 hours, and we don’t juggle you between three scheduling windows. We show up when we say we will.
Dryer Vent Repair in Hudson
Dryer Vent Repair in Hudson often means addressing crushed foil runs, rodent-damaged sections, or improperly sloped vents that pool condensation in the crawl spaces beneath these old post-and-beam floors. A typical repair here runs $180-$350 depending on material length and access difficulty, with most jobs completed in a single visit.
Crushed or Kinked Vent Runs
The flexible foil vent behind your dryer was never meant to bend at sharp angles or share tight chases with retrofitted ductwork. We replace these with rigid metal pipe, properly supported, so airflow stays consistent and lint doesn’t collect at the first pinch point.
Exterior Cap and Termination Issues
We see plenty of damaged vent caps around Hudson’s rural fringe, where wind-driven dust and the occasional branch contact crack plastic hoods or jam flappers shut. A new cap with proper backdraft damper runs $45-$85 installed, and we’ll match it to your siding color where possible.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Hudson
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company service in Hudson means more than running a brush down a pipe. Because so many local homes have retrofitted systems in uninsulated cavities, we inspect with cameras first, then clean with agitation tools under negative pressure and HEPA filtration so debris doesn’t migrate into your living space. Standard cleaning runs $150-$275; properties with longer runs to outbuildings or multiple bends may reach $300-$400.
Camera Inspection Before Cleaning
We don’t guess. Our Nikro camera rig shows us exactly what’s in your vent before we start, whether it’s packed lint, a bird nest, or the fibrous debris mixed with mold particulate we commonly find in the Apsley-area crawl spaces.
Whole-System Testing Afterward
We measure airflow and temperature at the exterior termination before we leave. Your dryer should exhaust hot, fast air. If it doesn’t, we keep working until it does. That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise in action.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hudson
We carry parts and accessories from Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman on every Hudson truck, which means most repairs don’t require a return trip. Our Rotobrush and Nikro cleaning equipment is professional-grade, not the rental-shop units you might have seen. For the older homes near downtown, we stock rigid metal vent pipe in multiple diameters because we’ve learned that the standard 4-inch run doesn’t always fit the odd chases these retrofitted systems demand. Fast turnaround matters when you’ve got laundry backing up and kids needing clean uniforms for school.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Hudson Homes
- Crushed foil runs in shared chases. In the Apsley/Main Street worker cottages, dryer vents often share tight, uninsulated wall cavities with undersized supply trunks. The foil gets crushed at the first bend, lint packs behind it, and airflow drops by half before the homeowner notices longer dry times.
- Rural dust loading the exterior hood. Homes on unpaved roads or open land around Hudson’s fringe see heavy dust and pollen that clogs the vent termination hood even when the lint trap is cleaned religiously. The trap catches the big stuff; the fine particulate cakes the exterior screen.
- Overlooked outbuilding systems. Longer drives to detached garages and barn conversions mean these dryer vents get ignored for years. We’ve pulled five-pound lint deposits from outbuilding vents that hadn’t been touched since the structure was built.
- Rodent entry through crawl-space gaps. The same foundation gaps that let damp valley air into Hudson’s crawl spaces also admit mice and chipmunks. They nest in warm vent runs, and their debris combines with lint into a dense, fire-risk mat.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hudson
Every 12-18 months for most Hudson homes, but every 9-12 months if you’re on a dirt road, have multiple pets, or run the dryer daily for a large family. The rural dust load and the odd vent routing in retrofitted cottages accelerate buildup faster than in purpose-built suburban homes on Route 85. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll assess your specific situation.
The lint trap catches roughly 60% of lint; the rest passes through and accumulates in the vent run, the exterior hood, or both. In Hudson’s older homes, we often find the vent crushed behind a retrofitted duct or packed with debris where the run meets the exterior wall. That’s a vent problem, not a dryer problem. We can camera-inspect and clear it same-day.
Yes. Lint is highly combustible, and the combination of restricted airflow from crushed foil runs and the older electrical systems in some mill-era cottages creates genuine risk. The National Fire Protection Association lists clothes dryers as a leading cause of home fires. We don’t use scare tactics, but we do flag what we find and document it with photos.
Absolutely. We carry extension hoses and portable power for sites without permanent electric, and we’re equipped for longer runs to barn conversions, guest cottages, and workshop dryers. These systems are often the most neglected and the most in need of attention. Pricing runs $200-$350 depending on access and run length.
We start with a camera inspection to see what we’re dealing with. Then we use Rotobrush agitation tools under Nikro negative-pressure collection with HEPA filtration to remove lint and debris without releasing it into your home. We test airflow and temperature at the exterior termination, install or repair caps as needed, and leave you with a photo of the clean-up and a written receipt. The Cedarwell Care Promise means shoe covers and drop cloths throughout, and we work around nap schedules and pets.
