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 Foothill Farms, CA
Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles the ductwork realities that Foothill Farms homes were built with. Homes here, raised in the 1950s through 1970s near the old Mather Air Force Base, carry aging sheet-metal and early flex-duct systems that have been pulling in Sacramento Valley dust and wildfire smoke particulate for decades. When you call (323) 918-4345, you get a written price before any work starts and a crew that knows exactly what sits inside the walls of a Foothill Farms ranch home.
Why Foothill Farms Homes Are Different
Foothill Farms sits on the Sacramento Valley floor northeast of the city, and that position shapes what accumulates inside its ductwork. During late summer and fall, temperature inversions trap wildfire smoke drifting in from the Sierra Nevada foothills 30 to 40 miles east. Families button up the house and run the AC through multi-day smoke events, and the HVAC system pulls that smoky air through the ducts on a continuous loop. The result is a dark, oily residue that settles along duct walls, something technicians in coastal Sacramento or western suburbs rarely find at the same frequency.
The housing stock adds another layer. Most homes here are slab-on-grade or shallow-crawlspace ranch builds from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, and many still run their original duct-board insulation and loose flex-duct connections at the registers. Those loosened connections let attic dust and insulation fibers slip into the supply air stream, which means a cleaning in Foothill Farms often involves re-seating register boots and checking every accessible joint, not just vacuuming the main trunk line. Our technicians come prepared for both the smoke residue and the structural wear that comes with a 50-to-70-year-old duct system.
Our Main Foothill Farms Services
Two jobs dominate the calls we get from Foothill Farms homeowners, and each one has its own detailed page with local pricing and what to expect on the day of the visit.
Air Duct Cleaning in Foothill Farms
Cleaning the full supply and return duct system in a Foothill Farms home means addressing the particulars of this housing stock: brittle duct-board insulation, loose flex connections, and the smoke residue that summer inversions deposit year after year. We walk the system with you before the Rotobrush or Nikro equipment comes inside, confirm the run count, and hand you a written price that does not change after we start. Every register gets protected, drop cloths go down on the floors, and you get a photo of the clean-up before we leave. The full picture is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Foothill Farms page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Foothill Farms
Dryer vents in Foothill Farms run through attics and crawlspaces that collect the same fine dust as the ductwork, and a lint-clogged vent in a slab-on-grade ranch often has no direct exterior outlet to inspect from the outside. That makes the connection points harder to reach and slower to clean properly, which is why we bring the full run of brushes and a Nikro vacuum rated for fine particulate to every job. The cost is flat and written down before we touch the vent. Read the specifics on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Foothill Farms page.

Two things push Foothill Farms pricing toward the upper end of these ranges: the age of the ductwork, especially original flex-duct connections that need re-seating, and heavy smoke residue that demands a slower pass with the vacuum to break loose properly. Whatever the number is, it is written on the estimate sheet before any equipment enters the house, and it stays that way.
