Dryer vent cleaning in Los Angeles typically runs $150-$280 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are scheduled within a few business days with a written price confirmed before we arrive. If your dryer is taking longer to finish a load, your laundry room feels unusually warm, or you notice a burnt-lint smell, the vent run is likely clogged and needs professional cleaning.

Call (323) 918-4345

We’ve been dispatching crews from our Los Angeles office since 2005, and we know the local housing stock inside out: the 1950s-1970s tract homes in the San Fernando Valley and Inglewood with retrofitted flex duct crammed into attics never designed for it, the older Craftsman and Spanish Revival places in Los Feliz and Silver Lake with improvised vent runs added decades after construction, and the hillside homes from Pacific Palisades to Altadena where January’s Palisades and Eaton fires left ash residue inside duct systems that ordinary lint removal won’t touch. Our technicians arrive in uniform with shoe covers and drop cloths, and we use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment - not rental shop vacs - on every Los Angeles job.

Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Los Angeles’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company

Los Angeles families call us back because we treat their homes the way we’d want our own treated. Our background-checked technicians work to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values - that means quiet tool settings during nap hours, pet-safe product choices where available, and a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves so you can see the work was done right.

Every visit starts with a written price before any work starts, every time, no exceptions. No per-vent add-ons, no surprise charges once the van is in your driveway. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we make it right - full stop, not just offered when asked.

Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, not a voicemail tree. And because we coordinate dispatch from our Los Angeles office, we understand local conditions: the Santa Ana wind patterns that drive wildfire ash into vent systems, the salt-air humidity near the coast that encourages microbial growth in duct runs, and the SCAQMD regulations that govern air quality work in the South Coast Air Basin.

Dryer Vent Repair in Los Angeles

Dryer Vent Repair in Los Angeles addresses the crushed, disconnected, or fire-damaged vent runs we find in homes throughout the metro, particularly in neighborhoods with 1960s retrofitted flex duct squeezed through low-clearance attics. A proper repair involves inspecting the full run with a camera, replacing damaged sections with code-compliant rigid or semi-rigid duct, and ensuring the termination cap vents properly to the exterior - not into the attic or a crawl space, which we see more often than you’d expect in older Los Angeles neighborhoods. Typical Dryer Vent Repair in Los Angeles runs $200-$450 depending on access difficulty and material length needed.

Crushed or Disconnected Flex Duct

In the San Fernando Valley and Inglewood corridors, we regularly find flex duct that was jammed through attic spaces too small for the bend radius, leaving it kinked flat or pulled apart at the seams. No amount of blowing or brushing clears a duct that’s physically collapsed - the run needs section replacement with properly supported rigid pipe.

Fire-Damaged Vent Runs

After the January 2025 Palisades and Eaton fires, we documented vent runs in foothill neighborhoods where heat had warped plastic fittings or ash had fused to metal surfaces. These require full replacement, not cleaning, and we provide written documentation for insurance claims.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Los Angeles

Dryer Vent Cleaning Company in Los Angeles means a crew that understands this isn’t a one-size-fits-all job. At Morton’s, we start with a camera inspection to see what we’re dealing with - standard lint accumulation, wildfire ash residue, or the microbial growth that coastal humidity and salt air encourage in runs near Venice, Santa Monica, or San Pedro. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team then uses Rotobrush mechanical agitation and Nikro HEPA-filtered negative air machines to remove debris at the source, not just push it around. A typical cleaning for Los Angeles homeowners runs $150-$280, with multi-unit or rooftop-access jobs at the higher end.

What Real Source Removal Looks Like

We brush the full length of the run, vacuum under negative pressure so nothing escapes into your laundry room, and clean the exterior termination cap. If we find post-fire ash contamination, we document it. We do not sell fogging “sanitiser” upsells - they mask odor without removing the source, and in Los Angeles’s dry climate, that source will keep your dryer cycling hot and inefficient.

Coastal Humidity and Salt Air

Homes within a few miles of the Pacific - Mar Vista, Playa del Rey, San Pedro - see faster microbial buildup in vent runs from salt-laden moisture. A genuine clean removes this growth mechanically. A fogging treatment leaves it alive inside the duct, which is why we don’t offer them.

Trusted Brands We Service in Los Angeles

We carry replacement parts and maintain equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman - brands that professional duct contractors actually use, not entry-level gear from the rental counter. For Los Angeles homeowners, that means faster turnaround when a vent cap, transition duct, or termination fitting needs replacement on the spot. We don’t have to order parts and come back; our vans are stocked for the housing stock we know: the 4-inch rigid duct common in post-war Valley tracts, the semi-rigid transitions in Silver Lake additions, and the bird-guard caps that foothill homes need to keep ash-season debris out. If your system uses Honeywell, Aprilaire, or Abatement Technologies components, we service those too.

Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Los Angeles Homes

• Wildfire ash fused with lint in foothill neighborhoods. After the January 2025 Palisades and Eaton fires, we found vent runs in Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and Altadena-adjacent areas packed with a dense mat of lint and ash containing heavy metals and combustion VOCs. Standard lint removal doesn’t touch this; it requires HEPA-filtered negative pressure and documentation for insurance.
• Crushed retrofitted flex duct in low-clearance attics. The 1950s-1970s tract homes across the San Fernando Valley and Inglewood often have dryer vent runs crammed through attics never designed for them. The duct gets compressed, kinked, or disconnected, and the dryer labors harder while the laundry room heats up.
• Coastal microbial growth from salt-air humidity. Near the beach communities from Venice to San Pedro, moisture and salt air encourage biological growth inside vent runs that fogging treatments cover up but don’t eliminate. Only mechanical agitation and negative-air removal solve it.
• Improper terminations into attics or crawl spaces. In older Los Angeles neighborhoods like Los Feliz and parts of Crenshaw, we’ve found dryer vents dumping directly into unfinished spaces - a fire hazard and a moisture problem that requires rerouting to an exterior wall or roof cap.
