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 Pleasanton, CA
Air duct cleaning in Pleasanton means dealing with a specific set of local conditions: two-story forced-air homes built from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s, attic ductwork that bakes in 140°F summer heat, and a valley geography that traps pollen, dust, and wildfire smoke longer than coastal East Bay cities. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning serves Pleasanton families with written pricing upfront, professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Pleasanton Homes Are Different
Pleasanton sits in the Livermore Valley, a thermal basin largely cut off from the Bay’s marine layer. That geography creates real differences in how ductwork ages and what collects inside it. The city regularly records temperatures 15 to 20 degrees hotter than Oakland or Fremont, which means HVAC systems run far longer each summer and pull measurable amounts of fine particulate dust into ducts. Air inversions common to the valley floor also hold wildfire smoke and agricultural particulates at ground level longer than in Bay-influenced cities. When regional fires burn, smoke settles into Pleasanton neighborhoods rather than dispersing. Homeowners here often notice their vents smell like smoke weeks after the sky clears, and the ducts are usually the reason.
The housing stock compounds this. Most Pleasanton residential neighborhoods were built in tract-home waves from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s, with two-story forced-air homes whose ductwork runs through attic spaces. Those attics routinely exceed 140°F during Pleasanton’s hot valley summers, which accelerates degradation of flex duct and fiberglass insulation liners installed 30 to 40 years ago. Our technicians working 1980s and 1990s subdivisions consistently find original flex duct whose inner mylar liner has become brittle and begun flaking from decades of extreme attic heat. That deterioration pattern happens faster in Pleasanton’s valley climate than in same-era homes just 20 miles west in the coastal-cooled East Bay flatlands. The brittle liner flakes enter the airstream and circulate through every room.
Our Main Pleasanton Services
Pleasanton homeowners call us most often about two things: the air ducts that move heated and cooled air through the house, and the dryer vent that carries lint and moisture outside. Each has its own Pleasanton page with pricing and specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pleasanton
Most Pleasanton homes have forced-air systems with ductwork running through attics that reach extreme temperatures in summer. Over years, that heat breaks down the inner liners of flex duct while the long cooling season pulls in pollen from the dry annual-grass and oak-covered hills surrounding the valley. Our crew connects professional Rotobrush or Nikro equipment to the duct runs, agitates the walls to dislodge built-up debris, and collects it with negative air pressure rather than brushing it into living spaces. We protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths before anything else. See Air Duct Cleaning in Pleasanton for full pricing and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pleasanton
Dryer vents in Pleasanton’s two-story homes often run long horizontal distances from laundry rooms on interior walls to exterior terminations, which gives lint more surface area to accumulate. The valley’s dry, dusty air adds to that load faster than homeowners expect. We break up compacted lint along the full vent run with rotating brush equipment, then verify airflow at the exterior termination before we call the job done. Lint buildup is a genuine fire risk, and this is one job where a trained technician with the right equipment matters. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pleasanton for pricing and scheduling details.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Pleasanton, CA
Air duct cleaning in Pleasanton typically runs between $450 and $850 for a whole-home system, depending on home size, number of returns, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Here are the line items we quote most often:
| Service | Typical range in Pleasanton |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $450 - $650 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (11-15 vents) | $600 - $750 |

| Duct sanitizing treatment (pet-safe option available) | $150 - $300 |
In Pleasanton, prices trend toward the upper end of these ranges when original 1980s flex duct has degraded significantly or when the system has not been cleaned in many years and requires additional passes. Every quote is written down before work starts, with one flat price per system. There are no per-vent add-ons and no surprises on the invoice afterward.

Yes. Pleasanton’s valley geography holds wildfire smoke at ground level longer than coastal cities, and that smoke works its way into duct systems even with windows closed. After a significant regional fire, a duct cleaning removes the fine particulate that keeps the smoky smell circulating indoors. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers this work like any other.
