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 Pasadena, CA
Air duct cleaning in Pasadena costs between $390 and $870 for a typical home, depending on the number of systems and how long it’s been since the last clean. What makes Pasadena jobs different from neighboring communities is the housing itself: most of the homes here were built in the 1950s through 1970s to house refinery and chemical-plant workers, and much of the original flex ductwork is still in place, aged and fragile. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and every Pasadena visit starts with a written price before work begins. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Pasadena Homes Are Different
Pasadena’s housing stock is older than much of the surrounding Houston metro. The bulk of homes went up in the 1950s-1970s, and many still have their original or early-replacement flex ductwork running through attics that face brutal Gulf Coast summers. After sixty-plus years in that heat and humidity, liner deterioration and collapsed flex sections are routine findings, not surprises. The ducts we open in Pasadena often carry years of accumulated debris that standard filter changes never touch.
There’s also the Ship Channel factor. Homes along the Red Bluff Road and Burke Road corridors sit close to refinery fence lines, and prevailing southeast winds push fine industrial particulates into those neighborhoods. When we pull filter media from these systems, it’s frequently darkened with a faint chemical or sulfur odor. That’s refinery fallout layered over regular household dust, and it’s one reason cleaning intervals here often run shorter than industry averages. Add in the lingering effects of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, which drove contaminated floodwater into many duct systems that were never fully remediated, and Pasadena presents a genuinely different job than a newer subdivision thirty miles inland.
Our Main Pasadena Services
Most Pasadena homeowners call us for one of two things: a full air duct cleaning, or a dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with Pasadena-specific pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pasadena
Air duct cleaning in Pasadena means removing years of accumulated dust, pet dander, and often refinery fallout from the inside of your ductwork. In older Pasadena homes, we frequently find collapsed flex sections and liner deterioration that change the scope of the job, which is why our technician walks the attic first and confirms the written price before any equipment comes off the truck. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment for the clean itself, and you’ll get before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Full details and local pricing are on our Air Duct Cleaning in Pasadena page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pasadena
Dryer vents in Pasadena clog faster than you’d expect, especially in older laundry rooms with long vent runs and multiple elbows. Lint builds up, airflow drops, and drying times creep upward. We remove the lint from the full run, check the termination point outside, and leave the vent pulling air the way it should. It’s a smaller job than a full duct clean but just as important for older Pasadena homes. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pasadena page for what to expect and what it costs.

The big price shifter in Pasadena is the age and condition of the ductwork itself. Older flex systems that have deteriorated in attic heat sometimes need section repair or replacement before they can be properly cleaned, and we’ll show you exactly what we found before adding anything to the invoice. Every Morton’s job starts with a written price for the full system, agreed to before any work starts.

What Pasadena Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
