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 Houston, TX
Air duct cleaning in Houston runs between $450 and $900 for a typical single-system home, and most jobs are finished in a single visit. The real difference here is the humidity: ductwork in Houston gets wet, stays wet, and grows mold faster than almost anywhere else in Texas. If you need a written price before anything starts, call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning at (323) 918-4345.
Why Houston Homes Are Different
Houston’s subtropical humidity – regularly above 75% relative humidity year-round – combines with residential ductwork installed almost universally in unconditioned attics that reach 140-160°F in summer. That creates a perpetual condensation-and-mold cycle inside flex ducts that separates Houston from drier Sun Belt cities like Dallas or Phoenix. When AC systems cycle off during high-humidity nights, warm attic air leaking into flex-duct connections condenses on cooled interior liner surfaces. The result is mold growth between service visits, even in homes where the AC runs constantly.
Houston’s 1970s-through-2000s building boom produced millions of homes with flex duct suspended in attic spaces. That duct sags at support points, separates at joints, and develops interior liner tears as the attic heat cycles from oven-hot to merely warm. Repeated flooding adds another layer: Hurricane Harvey in 2017 inundated over 100,000 Harris County structures, and in neighborhoods like Meyerland along Brays Bayou, we still open duct runs and find flex duct liner holding organic silt and mold from that storm. Homeowners who only had walls remediated often have no idea their duct system is the remaining active mold source in the house.
Our Main Houston Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Houston homeowners. Both come with a written price before work starts, and both are backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Air Duct Cleaning in Houston
Houston air duct cleaning means working inside attics that can hit 150°F by mid-morning, so our crews schedule attic work early and use professional equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro to agitate and extract what’s clinging to the duct liner. Older homes in the Heights and Garden Oaks, built in the 1950s and 60s, sometimes still have original sheet-metal ductwork with degraded wrap that needs different handling than modern flex duct. We walk every homeowner through what we found before we start, and what each step will cost. Full details on Air Duct Cleaning in Houston.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston
Houston dryer vents fill with lint faster than most homeowners expect, partly because laundry rooms here run year-round with no seasonal slowdown. Long vent runs are common in Houston’s larger two-story homes, and every extra foot of run is another place lint can pack in against humid air and form a blockage. We use flexible inspection cameras from Rotobrush to show you exactly what’s inside the vent, then clean it back to bare metal. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Houston for the full breakdown.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Houston, TX
| Service | Typical range in Houston |
|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning, single system | $450 - $900 |
| Air duct cleaning, multi-story home | $600 - $1,200 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $150 - $300 |
| Duct sanitizing (fogging) | $200 - $500 |

| Duct inspection with camera | $100 - $250 |
What pushes a Houston job toward the top of these ranges is access and condition: attics with tight clearances slow us down, and ductwork that’s been wet from flooding or years of condensation usually needs more passes with the Rotobrush equipment before the liner comes clean. Whatever the final number is, you’ll see it written down before any work begins, and that price doesn’t change mid-job.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Houston
We work across the full Houston metro, from the older bungalow neighborhoods inside the Loop to the newer subdivisions in Kingwood, Cypress, and Clear Lake. Attic conditions and duct age vary a lot from block to block, which is why we quote each home individually rather than giving a one-size-fits-all number.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Houston
Most Houston appointments are scheduled within a week of your call. We give a two-hour arrival window and a same-day call when the crew is leaving the previous job, so you’re never waiting around without knowing when we’ll arrive.
No permit is required in Houston for air duct or dryer vent cleaning. Some HOAs in master-planned communities like Kingwood or Clear Lake ask for advance notice of service vehicles, but that’s handled between you and your association, not something we need to file.
Yes. We work regularly in Meyerland, Kingwood, and other flood-prone areas. If your ductwork was exposed to floodwater, we’ll inspect the liner first and tell you whether the job is a standard cleaning or requires liner replacement before we quote anything.

- 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."
- Scott Hemmings"Friendly, calm crew that clearly cared about the house. Covered their shoes, protected the floors, and double checked they'd closed up every vent cover properly. Would have them back."
