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 Texas City, TX
Air duct cleaning in Texas City runs $350-$600 for a whole-home system in an average 3-bedroom house, and the job is usually done in 4-6 hours. That price reflects what Texas City ductwork actually is: 50-75 year old galvanized steel, coastal humidity, and a fine industrial film that doesn’t appear anywhere else on this side of Houston. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning works Texas City neighborhoods every week, so we know what those systems need. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Texas City Homes Are Different
Texas City sits directly downwind of the densest petrochemical corridor on the Gulf Coast. Prevailing southeast winds off Galveston Bay pull emissions from the Marathon and Valero facilities straight across residential streets, and those sulfur compounds and hydrocarbon aerosols get drawn into return vents and pushed through supply ductwork day after day. The result is a dark, oily coating on duct walls that ordinary household dust never produces. It bonds to galvanized metal and flex duct liner, and it takes extra extraction passes and sometimes HEPA-vac treatment to remove. We see it routinely in the older blocks near the industrial waterfront, and we plan for it on every job.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Much of Texas City was rebuilt after the 1947 disaster, which means a large share of homes run on original galvanized ductwork from the late 1940s through the 1970s. That’s five to seven decades of salt air corrosion and compacted particulate buildup. Add the near-constant 85% humidity off Galveston Bay, and condensation inside attic runs becomes a year-round condition. Ducts here don’t just get dusty; they get damp, then mold takes hold. A standard cleaning that works in League City won’t hold in Texas City unless the crew understands the moisture cycle behind it.
Our Main Texas City Services
Two services account for nearly every call we take from Texas City homeowners, and each has a dedicated page with pricing and local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Texas City
The older the home, the more likely the ductwork has never been properly cleaned. We connect Rotobrush and Nikro extraction equipment to each supply and return line, pull the accumulated particulate and petrochemical residue out, and leave the system moving air freely. On postwar galvanized steel, we often do a second pass to break the oily film that Houston-area crews rarely encounter. If you want the full breakdown of how we handle Texas City’s specific contamination profile, read Air Duct Cleaning in Texas City.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Texas City
Lint in a dryer vent is combustible, and Texas City’s humidity turns it into a dense, sticky mat faster than in inland suburbs. We clear the full run from dryer to exterior vent, verify airflow, and check the hood for salt-air corrosion that shortens its life near the bay. It’s a straightforward job with a real safety benefit. Details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Texas City page.

Brands We Service in Texas City
We work on systems built around Aprilaire, Guardsman, and Abatement Technologies components, which cover much of what we see in Texas City homes. Because these brands are common in the area, parts and filter media are usually on the truck or available same-day. See our brands for the full equipment line we use on the job.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Texas City, TX
| Service | Typical Range in Texas City |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (single system) | $350-$600 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (multi-system larger home) | $550-$850 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $89-$169 |
| HEPA-vac treatment for petrochemical film | $150-$300 |
| Additional sanitizing treatment | $150-$300 |
Prices in Texas City move toward the upper end of these ranges when the home still has original 1950s or 1960s galvanized ductwork, because compacted buildup and the oily residue take longer to extract. Longer vent runs from the dryer to the exterior also add time. Morton’s quotes one flat price per system in writing before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Texas City
We cover all of Texas City, from the older streets near the industrial waterfront to the newer subdivisions further inland. Our crews know the difference between a postwar all-metal system and a post-Harvey flex-duct retrofit, because both are common within a few blocks of each other here.
