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 Severn, MD
Air duct cleaning in Severn, MD typically runs $450-$900 for a full system, depending on home size and duct condition. Severn’s mix of 1970s-1990s colonials and split-levels means most systems here have original flex duct runs that sag in attic heat and collect decades of debris. Families near Fort Meade call us most often when a PCS move-in reveals years of neglected ductwork from previous tenants. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and you can reach us at (323) 918-4345.
Why Severn Homes Are Different
Severn sits directly against Fort Meade, one of the largest military installations on the East Coast. That single fact shapes the ductwork in this town more than anything else. Military households PCS every two to three years, which means a home on Quarterfield Road or in the older neighborhoods off Telegraph Road may have cycled through four or five families in a decade, with no shared maintenance history passed between them. Duct systems in these homes frequently go ten-plus years without professional cleaning while the AC runs hard through Severn’s muggy summers.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Most of Severn’s homes are 1970s-1990s suburban colonials, ranchers, and split-levels built quickly to house Fort Meade’s expanding workforce. Many still carry their original flex duct runs through attics and crawl spaces. Flex duct sags over time, and when it sags in a humid Anne Arundel attic, condensation pools inside, dust sticks to the liner, and the system that should be moving clean air starts circulating whatever settled in those low points. The 2005 BRAC expansion brought another wave of infill construction, so our technicians routinely work on homes where one wing has 40-year-old ducts and another has ducts installed within the last decade, sometimes on the same return trunk.
Our Main Severn Services
Severn homeowners reach out to Morton’s for two core jobs, and each has its own dedicated page with local pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Severn
Full-system Air Duct Cleaning in Severn means opening the supply and return sides, running professional agitation through every run, and extracting what comes loose with a high-powered vacuum system. In Severn specifically, we pay close attention to the return-air side. In the rental-heavy subdivisions nearest Fort Meade, technicians regularly find lint, pet hair, and packed debris in return ducts at rates higher than surrounding areas, a pattern we associate with turnover units that never get inspected between leases. Every visit includes shoe covers, drop cloths, and a written price before work starts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Severn
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Severn removes the lint accumulation that builds inside the vent run from the dryer to the exterior outlet. Homes here often vent through roofs or extend longer-than-typical runs through basements and crawl spaces, especially in the split-levels where the laundry sits on a lower floor. Longer runs mean more surface area for lint to collect, and Severn’s summer humidity makes that lint denser and stickier. We run professional brushes and capture the debris at both ends, leaving the vent clear and the laundry area clean.

What Severn Customers Say
"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."
- Omar Zaid"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."
