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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Emeryville, CA
Air duct cleaning in Emeryville, CA costs between $390 and $720 for a full system clean in a typical loft or condo, and most crews need two to four hours because of how this city’s buildings are actually constructed. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning works in Emeryville’s converted industrial lofts and newer mid-rise condos, where ductwork runs through spaces no standard split-level home ever deals with. If you want a real price before anyone touches your system, call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through what your building needs.
Why Emeryville Homes Are Different
Emeryville doesn’t really have normal single-family houses. The residential stock is split between early-1900s industrial conversions – former canneries and light-manufacturing buildings with thick concrete and masonry walls – and post-1995 mid-rise condos built on remediated factory land. Both construction types cramp ductwork into places it was never designed to go.
In the older loft buildings near the waterfront, ducts often run through original factory ventilation shafts or poured-concrete cavities. A standard residential cleaning rod won’t navigate those turns, so our technicians use commercial-grade flexible equipment from brands like Rotobrush and Nikro to reach what’s actually in there. In newer condo buildings, the systems are frequently shared rooftop or corridor HVAC setups, which means access points differ from unit to unit. Add in Emeryville’s direct bay frontage, and you get a two-source contamination problem: persistent marine fog pushing salt-heavy, humid air through intakes, and the MacArthur Maze just east of the city where I-80, I-580, and I-880 converge. Diesel particulate from that interchange settles into building air intakes, then mixes with bay moisture inside the ducts. It’s a combination that accelerates duct contamination faster than what we see in Berkeley or Oakland bungalows a few miles away.
Our Main Emeryville Services
Most Emeryville homeowners call us for one of two things: cleaning the air ducts that move conditioned air through their loft or condo, or clearing the dryer vent that’s been packing lint into a long, winding run. Both jobs have their own dedicated Emeryville pages with full pricing and local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Emeryville
In Emeryville, air duct cleaning means adapting to the building. A converted loft on the old industrial core might have ducts routed through a former factory shaft where our flexible Rotobrush system has to do the work a rigid rod setup can’t. A condominium on the newer mid-rise side of town often means coordinating rooftop or corridor access and working around shared systems. We protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we walk in, and we use quieter equipment that won’t rattle a neighbor’s wall or wake a napping child. Air Duct Cleaning in Emeryville covers full pricing, what the job includes, and what Emeryville-specific problems we flag most often.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Emeryville
Dryer vents in Emeryville’s converted lofts are often long, irregular runs threaded through old industrial chases – exactly the conditions where lint accumulates fast and airflow chokes. Condo buildings add another layer: shared vent stacks mean one clogged section affects multiple units, and building management often has rules about when and how vent work gets done. Our technicians inspect the full run, use professional equipment to clear it, and take a photo of the clean-up before leaving. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Emeryville has Emeryville-specific pricing and the full scope of what we do.

It depends on the building. Many Emeryville condominiums and loft buildings have rules about rooftop access, shared vent stacks, or work hours for service crews. We’re used to coordinating with building management and can provide the written scope of work most property managers want before a crew arrives. Check your building’s rules, and mention any HOA requirements when you call.

Floors are protected with shoe covers and drop cloths, and we use quiet equipment that won’t disrupt a toddler’s nap or a neighbor’s meeting. Before the crew leaves, you’ll see a photo of the clean-up so you can confirm the space was left better than we found it.

What Emeryville Customers Say
"Ducts and dryer vent both. They put runners down the whole hall and wore booties. Spotless after, and they showed me photos of what came out. Worth every penny."
- Bonnie Vo"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
- Shelby Dunham"New house, old dusty ducts. They were gentle in the house, laid down drop cloths, and double checked every register was sealed back up. Air smells fresh now."
