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 Thousand Oaks, CA
Air duct cleaning in Thousand Oaks typically costs between $350 and $700 for a whole-home system, with prices shaped by the age of the ductwork and how much Woolsey Fire residue is still moving through it. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve worked inside enough Conejo Valley homes to know that Thousand Oaks houses collect dust differently than homes ten miles away. The 1965-to-1985 tract housing stock, the Santa Ana winds, and the burn corridor legacy all show up inside the ducts. Call (323) 918-4345 for a written price before anyone touches your system.
Why Thousand Oaks Homes Are Different
Thousand Oaks sits directly in the burn corridor of the November 2018 Woolsey Fire, and years later that fire is still the defining factor in what technicians find inside local duct systems. Homes along Lang Ranch, Wildwood, and the hillside streets bordering the Santa Monica Mountains and Conejo Open Space often show the reddish-pink residue of Phos-Chek fire retardant, heavy smoke char, and fine ash caked into return lines and flex duct. If the HVAC was running on auto during the evacuation, the system actively pulled combustion byproducts through the return side before anyone shut the house down.
The housing stock complicates it further. Thousand Oaks was built as a master-planned community beginning in the early 1960s, which means a large share of homes are 1965-1985 tract builds with original or first-generation flexible ductwork now 40 to 60 years old. We routinely find collapsed flex sections, separated joints, and duct board insulation that’s begun to shed fibers into the airstream. Then the Conejo Valley’s semi-enclosed geography traps pollen from coastal sage scrub and chaparral, plus fine wind-driven dust during Santa Ana events, and the low relative humidity keeps everything loose and recirculating rather than stuck to duct walls. Thousand Oaks isn’t a place where ducts get dirty slowly. They load up in layers, and those layers tell the story of the house.
Our Main Thousand Oaks Services
Thousand Oaks homeowners call us for two jobs more than anything else: full air duct cleaning for the HVAC system, and dryer vent cleaning for the laundry line. Both have their own dedicated Thousand Oaks page below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Thousand Oaks
Our air duct cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s actually inside your system, because Thousand Oaks ductwork tends to hide Woolsey Fire ash, chaparral dust, and 40-plus-year-old insulation particles in places a quick vacuum pass won’t reach. We run professional negative-air equipment, often Rotobrush or Nikro units, through the full supply and return lines, and we take before-and-after photos of the interior so you can see exactly what came out. Flat whole-system pricing is written down before work starts. Air Duct Cleaning in Thousand Oaks
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Thousand Oaks
Dryer vents in Thousand Oaks run long, often through attics or up through the roof, and lint plus chaparral dust builds into a dense, flammable plug faster than most homeowners realize. We clean the entire run from the dryer to the exterior termination point using professional agitation and high-suction tools, and we check the exterior vent cap for damage and proper airflow before we pack up. One flat price for the whole vent, agreed to in writing. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Thousand Oaks

- 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."
