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 West Palm Beach
Dryer vent cleaning in West Palm Beach typically runs $150-$275 for a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in under two hours with the homeowner present from start to finish. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews have been routing out to West Palm Beach from our Miami office since 2005. We know the difference between a Flamingo Park CBS bungalow built in 1962 and a west-of-Military-Trail townhome from 2015, and we show up with the right equipment for both.

Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
West Palm Beach homeowners call us back because we treat the house like it’s our own. Shoe covers go on before the front door closes. Drop cloths cover the laundry room floor and the path to it. If there’s a dog sleeping in the hallway, we work around him. If a toddler’s down for a nap, we use the quieter setting on our Nikro equipment and save the louder agitation tools for when everyone’s awake.
Every visit starts with a written price before any work begins. No exceptions. That price covers the full system, not a per-foot upsell once we’re halfway through the job. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we make it right. Full stop. And before we leave, you’ll get a photo of the clean-up so you can see the work was done and your home was left better than we found it.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values. They carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Honeywell, not the entry-level rental gear you can pick up at a big-box store. When you’re inviting someone into your home to work on a system that affects your family’s safety, that distinction matters.
Dispatch and scheduling for West Palm Beach are coordinated from our Miami office, but the crew that arrives at your door lives and works in the area. They know that Okeechobee Boulevard traffic can add twenty minutes to a morning appointment, and they plan for it.
Dryer Vent Installation in West Palm Beach
Dryer Vent Installation in West Palm Beach becomes necessary when the existing run is too long, too convoluted, or routed through a 150°F attic where flexible ductwork has degraded past safe use. In West Palm Beach’s older neighborhoods, we regularly find original installations that exceed the 25-foot maximum run length recommended by manufacturers, with multiple elbows and sagging flex sections that trap lint and restrict airflow. A proper installation uses smooth-wall rigid pipe, the minimum number of turns, and a termination point that vents directly to the exterior without passing through conditioned space. For a typical West Palm Beach single-family home, Dryer Vent Installation runs $350-$650 depending on routing complexity and whether we need to core a new wall penetration.
When Rerouting Makes Sense
Homes in El Cid and Northwood often have dryers positioned against interior walls with vent runs that snake up through attics and across multiple joist bays. We can frequently reroute these through an adjacent exterior wall, cutting the run length by half and eliminating the fire risk of attic-located flex duct.
Termination Upgrades for Coastal Conditions
Standard hood flaps corrode shut within three to five years in West Palm Beach’s salt air. We install marine-grade terminations with proper backdraft dampers and bird guards that hold up to Intracoastal exposure.
Dryer Vent Repair in West Palm Beach
Dryer Vent Repair in West Palm Beach addresses the specific failure modes this climate produces: salt-welded exterior hoods, crushed semi-rigid sections from decades of joist contact, and separated connections in attic runs where thermal cycling has loosened clamps. We don’t patch and pray. We camera-inspect the full run, identify every point of failure, and quote the complete repair before touching a tool. Most Dryer Vent Repair jobs in West Palm Beach fall between $200-$450, with simpler hood-and-cap replacements at the lower end and full section rebuilds at the higher end.
Exterior Hood and Screen Replacement
The salt-laden air off the Intracoastal corrodes bare metal faster than almost anywhere in South Florida. We replace failed hoods with corrosion-resistant assemblies and verify full flap movement before we leave.
Attic Section Rebuilds
When flexible duct in a hot West Palm Beach attic has pulled free at the boot or collapsed entirely, we rebuild with smooth-wall pipe and proper support strapping. No more drawing 150°F attic air and insulation fibers into your laundry room.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We carry replacement parts and termination hardware from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies on our West Palm Beach vans, which means most repairs don’t require a return trip. Our Nikro negative-pressure collection systems and Rotobrush agitation tools are the same units you’ll find in commercial remediation jobs, not consumer-grade attachments that clog after one heavy lint load. For families with allergies or respiratory sensitivities, we can source Aprilaire filtration accessories that integrate with your existing HVAC. Everything we install is rated for South Florida’s humidity and salt-air conditions, because a part that works in Cleveland for ten years might fail in West Palm Beach in three.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-welded exterior hoods. The Intracoastal Waterway’s salt-laden air corrodes bare-metal vent terminations until the flap or screen seizes completely. The dryer appears to vent, but airflow at the wall is negligible. We replace these with marine-grade assemblies that actually move.
- Humidity-caked lint plugs in snowbird homes. Properties in Northwood and west of Military Trail that sit unoccupied May-October accumulate lint that packs down and hardens in 80%-plus relative humidity. A quick brush skims the surface; negative-pressure source removal with agitation tools breaks the plug free.
- Crushed attic runs in older CBS construction. Flamingo Park and El Cid homes from the 1950s-1970s often have semi-rigid duct stepped on by decades of contractors in the attic, flattening the airway to a fraction of its design capacity. Camera inspection finds it; rebuild fixes it.
- Big-box kit damage. Homeowners who tried DIY vent cleaning with hardware-store brushes or leaf blowers typically compress lint deeper into long attic runs, creating a denser blockage than nature managed on its own. We extract this with professional-source removal, not more force.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Palm Beach, FL
Most West Palm Beach homeowners pay between $150-$275 for a complete dryer vent cleaning on a standard single-family home. Dryer Vent Installation runs $350-$650 depending on routing complexity, and Dryer Vent Repair falls in the $200-$450 range. What moves you within these ranges: the length of the vent run, whether it passes through an attic or crawlspace, the condition of the exterior termination, and whether we find damage that requires section replacement rather than cleaning alone.
We do not quote per vent or per foot. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts. No fogging upsells, no sanitizer sprays that don’t remove source material, no surprise charges when the crew is already in your laundry room. If camera inspection reveals a crushed section or corroded hood that needs repair, we show you the image, explain the options, and get your approval before proceeding.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Palm Beach
Your West Palm Beach dryer runs year-round in a humid, salt-air environment that packs lint tighter and corrodes metal components faster than seasonal northern use. Central Florida’s 80%-plus summer humidity causes lint to cake and harden, while the Intracoastal’s salt air attacks exterior terminations from the outside in. Call (323) 918-4345 for an inspection if your dry times have crept up since you moved.
The dryer vent and the HVAC ductwork are separate systems, but they often degrade together in West Palm Beach’s climate. If your home’s flexible duct runs through a 150°F attic and shows age, or if you’re a snowbird restarting a system that’s been idle since May, a combined assessment makes sense. We’ll camera-inspect both and quote exactly what each needs, never bundling services you don’t need.
The attic heat degrades your HVAC flex duct, not the dryer vent itself, but many Flamingo Park homes have dryer runs that pass through the same hostile attic space. We check the full route, including any attic sections, and if we find the semi-rigid or flexible dryer duct has sagged, separated, or been crushed against a joist, we’ll show you the camera image and explain whether cleaning alone is enough or if a rebuild is the safe choice.
Source removal under negative pressure, using agitation tools that break lint free and a collection system that captures it, is the only method that fully clears a packed West Palm Beach vent. Brushes alone skim the surface. Vacuums without agitation can’t break hardened lint plugs. Fogging and sanitizer sprays don’t remove material at all. Our Nikro system combines mechanical agitation with HEPA-filtered negative pressure, and we verify results with airflow measurement before we leave.
Dryer vent fires are a leading cause of home fires nationwide, and West Palm Beach’s combination of year-round dryer use, humidity-compacted lint, and older housing stock in neighborhoods like Flamingo Park and El Cid creates real risk. The good news: a properly cleaned and routed vent with a functional exterior termination is extremely safe. The bad news: a salt-welded hood or crushed attic run that restricts airflow turns the duct into a lint oven. Annual inspection and cleaning eliminates the hazard. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule yours.
