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 Jacksonville, FL
Air duct cleaning in Jacksonville typically runs $285-$485 for a whole-home system, and the work usually takes 3-5 hours. What makes Jacksonville different from most Florida markets is the combination of near-sea-level geography, relentless humidity, and a housing stock dominated by slab-on-grade homes with flex duct in unconditioned attics. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning helps families across the St. Johns River basin get ducts cleaned, inspected, and documented properly. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before any work starts.
Key Takeaways:
- Whole-home air duct cleaning in Jacksonville usually falls between $285 and $485.
- Attic heat and river-basin humidity make flex duct deterioration a common finding here.
- We provide a written price before any work starts, every time.
- Shoe covers and drop cloths are on every visit, included.
- Every completed job includes a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves.
Why Jacksonville Homes Are Different
Jacksonville sits almost entirely at or near sea level across the low-lying St. Johns River basin. The river, the Intracoastal Waterway, and miles of surrounding wetlands keep overnight relative humidity above 85-90% for most of the year. That humidity finds its way into unconditioned attics, where temperatures routinely reach 130-145°F in summer against duct interiors cooled to 55-60°F. The result is a continuous condensation cycle that feeds mold inside supply plenums and at register boot connections.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous US, which produced sprawling tracts of slab-on-grade ranch homes and subdivisions in Arlington, the Westside, Southside, and Mandarin. Built mostly from the 1960s through the 1990s, these homes almost all use flex duct routed through attics with no basement alternative. Much of that ductwork has never been cleaned or resealed since original installation. In our work across Jacksonville, we regularly find fiberglass flex liner that has crumbled from decades of extreme attic heat cycles and is shedding particulate directly into the air stream.
On the Westside, where rental subdivisions from the 1960s and 1970s cluster near NAS Jacksonville, technicians consistently find original flex duct that has never been serviced. Deferred maintenance in military rental properties makes this pattern especially common there. Mold colonizes the condensation-prone boot-to-register connections, and the inner liner has often degraded past the point where cleaning alone restores it.
Our Main Jacksonville Services
Jacksonville homeowners call us most often for two jobs: whole-home air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Jacksonville
Jacksonville’s 9-10 month AC season means your ducts are cold against very hot attic air for most of the year. That temperature differential pulls moisture into the system, and the fiberglass flex liner in 1960s-1990s homes breaks down under the constant heat stress. Our air duct cleaning uses professional-grade negative-air equipment, not a shop vac taped to a register. We cover the full system: supply and return plenums, branch lines, boots, and registers. Before anything starts, you get a written price. See the full details on our Air Duct Cleaning in Jacksonville page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Jacksonville
Riverside, San Marco, and Mandarin homes often have dryer vents that run 15-25 feet through attics or crawl spaces to reach an exterior wall. Jacksonville’s humidity adds a layer of damp lint that binds to the vent wall and resists simple brushing. A plugged dryer vent means longer dry cycles and a dryer that works harder than it should. We inspect the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination and remove the lint buildup with professional rotating brush equipment. Pricing and scope are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Jacksonville page.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Jacksonville
Most Jacksonville jobs are scheduled within three to five business days. During spring and early summer, when AC systems are running at full load and homeowners notice dust and odors more, the schedule fills faster. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll find the earliest slot that works for your zone and your schedule.
Duct cleaning happens entirely inside the home, so no exterior work or equipment placement typically triggers HOA review. The one exception is dryer vent cleaning where the exterior termination is inaccessible and a ladder is needed. We handle access with care and quiet tools, and we leave the exterior of the home exactly as we found it.
Morton’s policy is simple: you get a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. You also get to see the inside of your system during the job, not just a before-and-after on a brochure. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job: if it is not done right, we make it right. For an exact quote on your Jacksonville home, call (323) 918-4345.

What Jacksonville Customers Say
"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."
- Omar Zaid"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."
