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 Live Oak, TX
Air duct cleaning in Live Oak usually costs between $450 and $900 for a whole-home system, with most jobs finished in a single morning or afternoon. What makes Live Oak different is the housing: postwar tract homes from the 1960s through the 1990s, many sitting just outside JBSA-Randolph, with ductwork that has often gone untouched through multiple military tenant rotations. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning has the equipment and the approach for this specific kind of house. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before anyone books a visit.
Why Live Oak Homes Are Different
Live Oak grew up around Randolph Air Force Base, and the housing stock shows it. Most homes are single-story ranch-style builds from the late 1960s through the 1990s, framed for the base workforce and later converted to rentals as JBSA-Randolph expanded. We walk into systems every week where the flex duct or sheet metal is 30 to 50 years old. The insulation wrap is often deteriorating, and duct tape at the joints has long since dried out and pulled away. That means air leaks, dust infiltration, and a system that drags allergens through the house year-round.
The rental turnover adds another layer. PCS moves mean a new family every two or three years, and most landlords do not schedule duct cleaning between tenants. One family’s golden retriever and the next family’s two cats, one cedar fever season after another, all of it settles into the ducts. By the time a homeowner or renter calls us, we are often pulling out a decade of accumulated pet hair, dust, and Ashe juniper pollen matting. Cedar pollen season here runs December through February, and Live Oak’s AC systems, which run hard from April through October, pull that allergen load deep into the ductwork before spring even arrives. Summer humidity then adds mold risk inside poorly sealed attic runs. That combination is why cleaning here is not the same job it is in, say, El Paso.
Our Main Live Oak Services
Live Oak homeowners call us most about two things: cleaning the ductwork that circulates air through the house, and clearing dryer vents before they become a fire risk. Each service has its own Live Oak page with full pricing and process details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Live Oak
Most Live Oak homes have attic-run flex duct or aging sheet metal, and our job is to remove the buildup without damaging what is already fragile. We use professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for ranch-style layouts, and we photograph every register before and after. For military renters who need proof for a landlord or housing office, those photos matter. The full breakdown of pricing and what a typical Live Oak job includes is on our Air Duct Cleaning in Live Oak page, including how we handle older ductwork without tearing it.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Live Oak
In Live Oak’s rental-heavy neighborhoods, dryer vents are routinely ignored. Lint accumulates, airflow drops, and the dryer works harder and hotter. We clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior vent, whether it exits through the roof or an outside wall, and we show you the before-and-after photos so there is no question the vent is actually clean. For renters moving into a new lease, it is one of the simplest things to check off. Details and pricing are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Live Oak page.

In Live Oak, the biggest price drivers are system age and access. Homes with 40-year-old sheet metal that has never been cleaned take longer than a 1990s flex-duct system, and attic access through a small closet hatch adds time. Regardless of the final number, you get a written price before any work starts, and that price is the price on the invoice.

What Live Oak 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."
