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 Pacifica, CA
Air duct cleaning in Pacifica costs $380-$620 for a typical single-family home, with coastal homes often running slightly higher due to moisture-related contamination. Most jobs take 3-5 hours and can be scheduled within a week. Pacifica’s fog-heavy climate means ducts here collect a different kind of debris than inland homes: damp dust, salt residue, and organic growth that requires professional-grade extraction. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning serves the whole Pacifica coastline, from Sharp Park to Linda Mar, with written pricing before any work begins.
Why Pacifica Homes Are Different
Pacifica sits directly on the Pacific coast, wrapped in a marine layer that keeps relative humidity at 80-90% through most of the year. That moisture finds its way into crawl spaces under homes in Linda Mar, Sharp Park, and Fairway Park, where a large share of Pacifica’s 1950s-1970s tract houses have forced-air ductwork mounted beneath the floor. The ducts sit in damp, salt-laden air for months, especially since Pacifica residents rarely run air conditioning. Furnace ducts can stay idle from spring through fall, giving mold spores and dust-mite allergens a long, still growing season inside the system.
We see it on nearly every hillside job in Vallemar and Pacifica Manor: flex duct with visible sagging and moisture stains on the outside jacket. That staining means coastal ground fog has been condensing on the duct surface long enough to wick inward. What homeowners notice first is usually the smell when the furnace finally kicks on in late fall, but the contamination has been building for months. Salt air also eats at metal connectors and registers, leaving rough, pitted surfaces that hold debris. Cleaning ducts in Pacifica is not the same job as cleaning ducts in San Bruno or Daly City. The moisture load here is a different variable entirely.
Our Main Pacifica Services
Most Pacifica homeowners reach out to us about one of two things: cleaning the ducts that have been sitting in a damp crawl space, or clearing a dryer vent that is clogged with lint and struggling against the coastal humidity. Each service has its own Pacifica page with full pricing and detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pacifica
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Pacifica service removes the dust, salt residue, and biological growth that collects in coastal ductwork. On every job we use truck-mounted extraction equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and we protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the first step inside. We work around nap schedules when you ask, and we use pet-safe product choices where they are available. You get a written price before any work starts, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pacifica
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pacifica service clears the lint and moisture buildup that Pacifica’s humidity makes worse. Dryer vents here clog faster because the air moving through them is already damp, so lint sticks instead of blowing clear. We run professional rotary brushes the full length of the vent, verify airflow at the exterior termination, and leave the laundry area as clean as we found it. The same written-price rule applies: you know the cost before we start, and it does not change when the job is done.

What Pacifica Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
