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 Sonterra, TX
Air duct cleaning in Sonterra typically costs $450-$850 for a full single-system home, depending on the number of returns and the age of the flex duct. Most Sonterra homes fall into a specific pattern: built in the 1990s and 2000s, attic-run flex duct now hitting the 15-25 year mark, and six to eight months of near-continuous AC pushing dust, pet dander, and mountain cedar pollen through the system. We’ll walk you through what that means, what it costs, and how we protect your floors while we work. Call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning at (323) 918-4345 for a written quote before anyone touches a vent.
Why Sonterra Homes Are Different
Sonterra is a master-planned community in north Bexar County, and most of its housing stock was built in a specific window: the 1990s through the 2000s. That matters more than people realize. Those homes were constructed with flexible ductwork routed through attic spaces that routinely exceed 150°F in a Texas summer, and at two-plus decades of age, that flex duct starts showing predictable problems. Inner liner flaking. Loose boots at the register connections. Sagging mid-run sections where dust compacts and holds moisture. None of that is visible from the living room, but it’s what we find when we inspect systems in Sonterra.
Then there’s the cedar. San Antonio’s Ashe juniper bloom, December through February, is one of the heaviest airborne pollen events in North America. That fine particulate gets pulled into return systems, works its way past the filter, and embeds in the duct walls. By March, Sonterra HVAC systems are recirculating allergen-laden air until the ducts are cleaned. The timing of a cleaning here isn’t random; families with kids and pets tend to schedule one right after cedar season ends. It’s the difference between cleaning what accumulated and cleaning what’s about to accumulate.
We also see a recurring installation-era issue in Sonterra: support hangers spaced too far apart on attic runs, which predates the tighter Bexar County mechanical inspection standards in force today. Those drooping sections create low points where dust collects and condensation sits. When we find them, we note them in the walkthrough. It explains a lot of what homeowners describe as “the house is dusty two days after I clean it.”
Our Main Sonterra Services
Most Sonterra homeowners call us about two things: the ducts that move their conditioned air, and the dryer vent that has to push hot, lint-filled air out of the house safely. Here’s how each job works locally.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sonterra
When we clean ducts in Sonterra, we’re working with 1990s and 2000s flex duct, attic heat exposure, and post-cedar-season particulate. The process involves professional negative-air equipment from brands like Nikro and Rotobrush, not a shop vac taped to a vent. We cover floors with drop cloths, wear shoe covers inside, and work around nap schedules if there’s a toddler in the house. You get a written price before we start, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. See the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Sonterra page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sonterra
Sonterra attics get hot, and long dryer vent runs through those attics collect lint faster than people expect. The job is straightforward: we clear the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, check the flap, and confirm airflow. Lint buildup is a fire risk, and a clogged vent also forces the dryer to run longer cycles, which costs money. If you’ve noticed clothes taking two cycles to dry, that’s the signal. Details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sonterra page.

- 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."
