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 Seattle, WA
Air duct cleaning in Seattle runs between $450 and $890 for a typical single-family home, with crawl-space access and hillside homes at the higher end. Seattle’s damp marine air, 1910s-1940s housing stock, and vented crawl spaces mean ducts here collect the kind of moisture-laden debris you won’t find in drier cities. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles those conditions with written pricing before work starts, background-checked technicians, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Seattle Homes Are Different
Seattle keeps ambient humidity at 75-85% RH through most of fall, winter, and spring. That moisture settles into the crawl spaces beneath homes in Wallingford, Fremont, Capitol Hill, and Beacon Hill, where much of the city’s ductwork lives. Most of those homes are 1910s Craftsman bungalows and postwar mid-century builds with pier-and-beam foundations on the hillsides. The crawl spaces stay damp year-round, which means duct insulation and joint tape degrade faster than they would in an inland metro.
There’s another wrinkle. Seattle historically had mild summers and most homes were built without central air. Duct systems sat idle and unventilated for five or more months a year, letting whatever was in there bond to the duct walls. Since the 2021 heat dome, thousands of Seattle homeowners have installed heat pumps into duct systems that were originally sized for gas furnaces with no cooling function. That newer, denser equipment pushes against older, never-cleaned ductwork, and the result is a job that needs more than a quick once-over. We see the difference as soon as we look in the crawl space.
Our Main Seattle Services
Seattle homeowners call us most often for two things, and each has its own dedicated page with local pricing and specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Seattle
Seattle’s crawl-space ductwork collects moisture-laden debris that hardens over time, so the job here often means cleaning what has been sitting undisturbed for years, especially in older Craftsman homes on Queen Anne or Capitol Hill. We run professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, with shoe covers and drop cloths in place before any tool comes out. Learn more about Air Duct Cleaning in Seattle.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Seattle
Dryer vents in Seattle run through damp crawl spaces and often exit through hillside foundation walls, which makes clogs easier to form and harder to reach. A vent that can’t push moisture out leaves that moisture in the wall cavity, where Seattle’s humidity does the rest. We document the before and after with photos so you can see exactly what came out.

What Seattle 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."
