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.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Largo’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and our reputation in Largo is built on showing up when we say we will and leaving the home cleaner than we found it. 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 walk in, quiet tools if there’s a nap happening down the hall, and pet-safe choices wherever we can.
Every visit comes with a written price agreed before any tool is unpacked. No surprises on the invoice. We back every job with our 365-Day Done Right Promise, and we leave a photo of the clean-up so you can see what was done. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail tree.
We know Largo’s housing. The 1960s-70s concrete-block homes with flex duct retrofitted through unconditioned attics. The manufactured-home communities with belly-board runs underneath. The way salt air and humidity from both Tampa Bay and the Gulf keep everything damp. That local knowledge changes how we approach the job, and it means we catch problems a generic crew might miss.
Dryer Vent Inspection in Largo
Dryer Vent Inspection in Largo is where we always start, because in this climate, what you can’t see is usually what costs you money. Our inspection runs the full lint pathway from the back of the dryer to the termination hood, using a borescope camera to document the condition inside the duct. In Largo’s 1970s CBS ranches, we regularly find original flex-duct inner liners that have delaminated from years of 140°F attic heat, partially crushed runs that restrict airflow, and damp lint matted to the duct wall where humidity has kept it from ever drying out. A typical Dryer Vent Inspection in Largo costs $75-$125, and if you proceed with cleaning, we apply that toward the full service.
Camera Documentation
We record before-and-after video of the duct interior so you can see the blockage, the construction of the duct, and any damage to the liner. In Largo’s manufactured-home communities, this often reveals belly-board rot or moisture intrusion that a simple airflow test would never catch.
Airflow and Back-Pressure Testing
We measure static pressure at the dryer connection and at the termination hood. A healthy 4-inch rigid metal run should show minimal drop. When we see a 40% or greater reduction in a Largo home, it’s almost always a lint plug or a crushed elbow, not a failing dryer.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Largo
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Largo covers multi-unit laundry rooms, assisted-living facilities, salons with high towel volume, and any business where the dryer runs all day. The same humidity that affects residential vents is harder on commercial systems because the duty cycle is longer and the lint load is heavier. We clean to NFPA 96 and NADCA standards, using Rotobrush and Nikro equipment with HEPA containment so the business stays open during service. Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in Largo typically ranges from $250-$600 depending on run length, access, and whether the system serves multiple dryers. We schedule around your hours, not ours.
Multi-Dryer Manifold Systems
Many Largo condos and senior communities have a single exterior termination serving two or more dryers through a wye or manifold. These junctions are lint traps by design. We disassemble, clean, and reseal each branch, then verify balanced airflow so one unit isn’t back-pressuring the other.
Code Compliance Documentation
We provide a written report with airflow readings, photos, and any recommendations for repair or rerouting. Property managers in Largo use these for insurance renewals and fire-marshal inspections.
Trusted Brands We Service in Largo
We carry parts and accessories from Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire, so most Largo jobs don’t wait on a second trip. If your termination hood is damaged or your flex run needs replacing, we stock Guardsman-rated rigid metal pipe and proper foil tape, not the cheap stuff from the hardware store that peels off in attic heat. Our Rotobrush and Nikro cleaning systems are professional-grade, not rental units, and we match the tool to the duct type: whip heads for rigid metal, softer brushes for older flex-duct that might be brittle from years in a Largo attic.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Largo Homes
- Damp lint matting in high-humidity vents. Largo’s position on the Pinellas Peninsula means dryer vents exhaust into air that’s already near saturation. Lint that would dry and flake off in inland Florida stays moist here, clings to the duct wall, and slowly chokes airflow while the trap still looks clean.
- Delaminated flex-duct in 1970s attic runs. The CBS ranches off Ridge Road and around Largo’s central grid have original flex duct that has spent forty-plus summers in 140°F attics. The inner liner collapses or separates from the wire helix, creating lint traps that no airflow test will locate without a camera.
- Crushed elbows behind the dryer. Homeowners push the dryer back to save space and kink the transition duct. In Largo, where dryers already struggle against humidity, that restriction adds 20-30 minutes to every cycle and drives up electric bills.
- Ignored belly-board runs in manufactured homes. Largo has one of Pinellas County’s highest concentrations of manufactured-home communities. The under-floor duct runs are out of sight, vulnerable to moisture intrusion, and often packed with lint that has been accumulating for a decade or more.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Largo, FL
Most standard residential dryer vent cleanings in Largo fall between $150 and $275. That covers a single-family home with a typical run length, camera inspection, mechanical agitation and extraction under negative pressure, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Manufactured homes with under-floor belly-board runs, or jobs requiring vent rerouting or cap replacement, can run $200-$350. Commercial systems start around $250 and scale with the number of dryers and access complexity.
What moves the price: run length and material (rigid metal cleans faster than damaged flex-duct), whether we need to access a roof or crawlspace termination, and if the job reveals a repair need like a crushed elbow or a rotted belly-board. We give you a written price before any work starts. No per-vent pricing, no add-on surprises. If the inspection shows something unexpected, we stop, explain, and agree on a revised price before continuing. Call (323) 918-4345 for your exact quote, estimates are free.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in Largo
Humidity is the difference. Largo sits between Tampa Bay and the Gulf on a narrow peninsula, so the air your vent exhausts into is already moisture-heavy. Lint stays damp, mats to the duct wall, and builds up faster than it would in Orlando’s drier inland climate. Orlando dryers deal with heat; Largo dryers deal with heat plus salt-air moisture that never really lets the lint dry out and flake away. Call (323) 918-4345 if your cycles are running long, that’s usually the first sign.
Yes, and we adjust our approach. Those original flex runs have spent decades in Largo attics that hit 140°F regularly, so the inner liner is often brittle or partially delaminated. We use softer brush heads and lower agitation speed, then camera-inspect to confirm the duct survived the cleaning intact. If the liner is too far gone, we’ll show you the video and quote a replacement with rigid metal before we leave. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule an inspection.
Absolutely. We work in manufactured-home communities across Largo, and these jobs often need more time because the duct runs under the floor through belly-board channels that are vulnerable to moisture intrusion and rot. We camera-inspect the full pathway, clean with HEPA-contained extraction, and check the belly board for damage. It’s work that can’t be done from the laundry room alone. Call (323) 918-4345 for a quote specific to your home’s layout.
No. The NADCA standard for dryer vent cleaning is mechanical agitation and source removal, not chemical fogging. A sanitiser mist might smell clean for a day, but it does nothing about the physical lint plug that’s restricting airflow and creating the fire hazard. In Largo’s humidity, that fog can actually add moisture to an already damp system. We don’t sell it because it doesn’t solve the problem. Call (323) 918-4345 for a cleaning that actually removes the lint.
Most Largo homes need dryer vent cleaning every 12 to 18 months. If you run multiple loads daily, have pets that shed, or live in a manufactured home with a longer under-floor run, every 12 months is safer. The humidity here accelerates lint buildup, so waiting until the dryer “feels slow” usually means you’re already wasting electricity and adding unnecessary wear to the heating element. Call (323) 918-4345 to set a reminder schedule that fits your household.
