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 South Miami, FL
Air duct cleaning in South Miami, FL typically costs between $320 and $650 for a whole-home system, and the job is usually completed in three to six hours. South Miami’s 1950s-1970s concrete-block ranch homes run their AC nearly year-round, which means dust, humidity-driven biological growth, and decades of attic heat buildup make duct cleaning here a different job than in newer suburbs. If you’re looking for a straightforward price before anyone steps inside, call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning at (323) 918-4345.
Why South Miami Homes Are Different
Most South Miami homes were built between 1948 and 1975, and a large share still have their original galvanized ductwork or early-generation flex duct running through unconditioned attics. Those attics regularly exceed 140°F in summer, a condition that has spent decades baking mastic tape until it cracks, letting conditioned air leak into the attic and pulling fine insulation particles back into the duct runs. We see this most often in the blocks south of Sunset Drive toward SW 80th Street, where original systems have simply aged past the point that a basic cleaning can fully resolve.
South Miami’s proximity to the Everglades wetland corridor is the other half of the story. Ambient fungal spore counts stay elevated year-round, and with over 60 inches of annual rainfall and relative humidity rarely dipping below 70%, evaporator coils and the ductwork attached to them stay damp between cleanings far longer than in Central or North Florida. The result is a near-baseline condition of biological growth inside aging flex duct and fiberglass-lined metal ductwork that simply does not dry out on its own. Add the dense canopy of ficus, live oak, and tropical species shedding organic particulate into return-air intakes, and South Miami ductwork accumulates contamination faster than almost anywhere else in the state.
That does not mean every South Miami home has a serious problem. It means the work here requires a technician who understands why the problem keeps recurring, not just someone who runs a vacuum through the registers and leaves.
Our Main South Miami Services
South Miami homeowners call Morton’s most often for two jobs: air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with local pricing and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in South Miami
Our Air Duct Cleaning in South Miami service covers the full supply and return duct system, including the main trunk lines, branch runs, and the air handler interior where South Miami’s humidity keeps biological growth active between cleanings. We use Rotobrush and Nikro agitation systems to dislodge compacted dust and organic debris that has baked onto duct walls through decades of 140°F attic cycles. The written quote you approve before we start is the price you pay when we finish. We seal access points and protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths throughout the job, and we send you a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in South Miami
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in South Miami service clears the full exhaust run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination point. South Miami’s warm, humid air means lint that would stay dry and loose in a northern climate instead absorbs moisture and hardens against vent walls, narrowing the passage until airflow drops and drying times climb. We use professional brushes and vacuum collection to clear the entire run, and we check the vent hood for the bird and rodent entry that South Miami’s tree canopy and warm climate tend to invite. Each job includes a written price before we start and a photo of the cleaned interior before we leave.

No. Duct cleaning is an interior maintenance service and does not require HOA approval or city permits in South Miami. The work happens entirely inside your home or at existing exterior vent terminations, with no structural changes to the property.
South Miami homes are older on average than those in newer suburbs like Kendall, and original 1950s-1970s ductwork often needs joint resealing or minor repairs once we’re inside. That adds time and materials. The written quote always reflects the actual condition of your system before any work begins.

What South Miami Customers Say
"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."
- Bonnie Vo"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."
