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 Richardson, TX
Air duct cleaning in Richardson runs $400-$1,200 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and what’s actually inside the ducts. What makes Richardson work different from nearby suburbs is the age of the housing stock: most homes here were built between 1960 and 1985, and a large share still run their original ductwork. That means our crews in Richardson aren’t usually doing routine upkeep. They’re cleaning 40 to 60 year old systems that have never been opened. Call (323) 918-4345 and tell us what neighborhood you’re in and the year your home was built. That tells us more than any website form ever could.
Why Richardson Homes Are Different
Richardson’s neighborhoods grew up around the Telecom Corridor boom, and the homes reflect it. Slab-on-grade ranch and split-level houses went up fast, in big phases, between roughly 1960 and 1985. Most still carry their original metal trunk lines with fiberglass interior liner, or first-generation flex duct that has been patched and spliced over the years. The problem isn’t just age. It’s what age plus North Texas conditions does to materials.
Attic temperatures in Richardson pass 150°F through July and August. That kind of sustained heat bakes flex duct jackets until they crack and delaminate. It also breaks down the adhesive holding fiberglass duct-board facing in place. We regularly open systems in Canyon Creek and around Berkner High School where the original rectangular sheet-metal trunks are still there, with the interior liner peeling off in flaps. That condition is almost exclusive to homes from the 1965-1982 window that defines so much of central Richardson. You can’t see it without a duct camera, which is why homeowners often don’t know it’s there until someone shows them.
The soil adds a second layer. Richardson sits on expansive black clay that heaves and settles through every wet-dry cycle. Slabs shift, and even an eighth of an inch of movement opens gaps at duct collars and joints. Once a joint opens, attic dust and blown-in insulation fibers get pulled into the supply runs and then into the rooms where kids sleep and dogs shed. Add Richardson’s rough allergen calendar – mountain cedar in January and February, oak through spring, ragweed in fall – and those older ducts collect a dense, biological layer that keeps recirculating through whatever gaps have formed.
We work around all of it. Quieter equipment during nap hours, shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit, and a written price before anything starts. The house is different here, so the approach has to be too.
Our Main Richardson Services
Richardson homeowners call us most about two things: the ductwork inside the house, and the dryer vent that runs through the wall or attic. Both have their own Richardson pages below, with pricing and details specific to how the homes here are built.
Air Duct Cleaning in Richardson
Most Richardson duct systems we clean are the original 1960s-1980s installations: metal trunks with fiberglass liner, first-generation flex runs, or a mix of both. The job involves inspecting with a duct camera first, because the liner-flap condition common in Canyon Creek and similar central neighborhoods changes what cleaning method we use. We connect professional equipment to the supply and return plenums, clean the full run of the system, and document everything before and after. It’s a careful process, not a rush job, and it’s priced upfront before we begin. Air Duct Cleaning in Richardson has full details and current pricing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richardson
Richardson homes built in the Telecom Corridor era often route dryer vents through the attic or through long horizontal wall runs, which collect lint differently than short vertical runs in newer houses. Lint plus Richardson’s summer heat is a serious combination. We clean the vent from the dryer to the exterior cap, remove the blockage, and confirm airflow at both ends. The work is straightforward, priced in writing before the job starts, and completed same-visit. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Richardson covers what’s involved and what it costs.

What pushes a Richardson job toward the top of these ranges is what our camera finds: delaminated liner, gaps at slab joints, blown-in insulation inside the runs, and flex duct that is falling apart from attic heat. The longer those conditions have gone unaddressed, the longer the cleaning takes. Every quote is written and agreed before work starts, and it does not change when the crew is standing in your living room.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Richardson
Most Richardson jobs are scheduled within the same week you call, often within two or three days. The metro office coordinates scheduling for us, and Richardson is a short drive, so we can usually fit a visit in around a nap schedule or a workday. Call (323) 918-4345 for a specific date.
No. Duct cleaning is an interior maintenance service and doesn’t require a permit or approval from any Richardson HOA. The work is done from inside the home, at the supply and return plenums, and from the attic access already built into the house.
It depends on what’s in there. In homes where the original fiberglass liner is shedding, the joints have opened, or the flex jackets are breaking down, cleaning removes a real layer of particulates. We will show you the before-and-after footage from the duct camera, so you can see the difference rather than take our word for it. If the ducts are clean and only need a light pass, we’ll tell you that too.
If your Richardson home’s ductwork has never been looked at, call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning at (323) 918-4345. We’ll answer, schedule a time that works around your family, and put your price in writing before the first tool comes off the truck.

What Richardson Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
