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 Riverdale, GA
Air duct cleaning in Riverdale usually costs between $380 and $640 for a full-system clean of a typical 1970s or 1980s ranch home, and most jobs are completed in four to six hours. What makes Riverdale work different is the age of the housing stock and the rental turnover that comes with it. We regularly open duct systems here that have not been touched in 20 or 30 years, and that changes how we approach every job. Call (323) 918-4345 when you want a written price before anyone touches anything.
Why Riverdale Homes Are Different
Riverdale grew fast during Clayton County’s post-Atlanta suburban build-out of the 1970s and 1980s, and most of the homes here are ranch-style or split-level with original flex-duct systems running through unconditioned attics. Those ducts were not built for Georgia humidity. From roughly late April through early October, air conditioning runs almost constantly, and condensation forms inside poorly sealed flex duct. Over decades, that moisture turns into mold colonization inside the duct lining, which means our Riverdale jobs are as much about remediation as they are about removing dust and debris.
There is also the rental factor. A large share of Riverdale’s housing has shifted to rental status over the past twenty years, and renters rarely schedule duct cleaning for a home they do not own. Between tenants, duct systems go uninspected. Our technicians routinely pull back attic insulation in older Riverdale subdivisions and find flex duct that has been stapled, kinked, or partially disconnected by a previous HVAC contractor and never corrected. A standard cleaning call here frequently turns into a discovery-and-document job before the vacuum equipment even runs. We photograph what we find, fix what can be fixed, and show you the before-and-after.
Our Main Riverdale Services
Riverdale homeowners call Morton’s most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with Riverdale-specific pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Riverdale
Air duct cleaning on a Riverdale ranch home means opening the supply and return registers, running Rotobrush or Nikro agitation equipment through every run, and pulling debris from the main trunk lines under negative pressure. In Riverdale, we are also looking for the humidity damage described above: mold-stained duct liner, degraded insulation wrap, and crimped flex runs in the attic. Our technicians wear shoe covers and lay drop cloths before any equipment comes through the door, and the price you are quoted is the price on the invoice. See Air Duct Cleaning in Riverdale for full pricing and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Riverdale
Dryer vents in Riverdale’s older homes are often short runs through an exterior wall, but many split-levels route the vent through a crawl space or up through the roof, which collects lint at every bend. Lint buildup is the leading cause of dryer fires, and a vent that has not been cleaned since the house was built is a genuine hazard. We run professional-grade brushes the full length of the vent, remove the accumulated lint, and confirm airflow at the exterior exit point before we pack up. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Riverdale for costs and what the job involves.

No. Duct cleaning is interior work on your own HVAC system and does not require a Riverdale city permit or HOA approval. If your system includes exterior dryer vent access, we will work from inside and outside the home as needed, and that does not require permits either.
Yes, and many of our Riverdale calls are for rentals that have gone years without service. We document the condition of the ducts with photos before and after, which both landlords and tenants appreciate, especially when the previous tenant had pets or the unit sat empty through a humid Georgia summer.

"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."
