Trusted Dryer Vent Cleaning for Alpharetta Homeowners
If your dryer takes longer than one cycle to dry a normal load, the vent line is almost certainly clogged with lint. That buildup restricts airflow, makes your dryer run hotter and work harder, and is the leading cause of dryer fires in residential homes across Alpharetta. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning has provided Alpharetta Dryer Vent Cleaning since 2005, and Paul Adeyemi leads a team of background-checked technicians who arrive in uniform and treat your home like their own, shoe covers and drop cloths included. Call (762) 263-0408 and a live person answers, 24/7.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Service removes built-up lint, dust, and debris from the full length of the vent line, from the dryer connection behind the appliance to the exterior exhaust hood. Most Alpharetta homes need this done every 12 to 18 months, though households with multiple pets, large families, or long vent runs through crawl spaces or attics often schedule it annually. Morton’s Air Duct Alpharetta uses professional-grade Nikro equipment and high-powered rotary brushes that reach deep into the vent without damaging the walls of the duct. Most residential jobs in the Alpharetta area run between $89 and $229 depending on vent length, accessibility, and how much buildup has accumulated; see our Dryer Vent Cleaning cost guide for details.
Full Vent Line Cleaning
We clean the entire run, not just the first few feet. Hair, sand from playgrounds, and pet dander all make their way through the dryer drum and into the vent line, where they combine with lint into a dense mat that restricts airflow fast.
Our technicians measure airflow before and after cleaning so you can see the difference in real numbers, not just a promise that the line looks better.
Exterior Hood and Flap Service
The exterior vent hood is where Alpharetta homeowners often spot the first visible warning sign: lint hanging from the flap, a flap that won’t close, or birds nesting inside the opening. While cleaning the line, we inspect and clean the hood assembly and confirm the damper closes properly so outside air and pests don’t get in.

Dryer Vent Installation
Dryer Vent Installation is the proper fitting of a new vent line when the existing one is crushed, disconnected, or made from unsafe material like flexible foil or vinyl. Homes built in Alpharetta neighborhoods like Windward and Crabapple that still have original builders-grade venting often need a full replacement after years of heat exposure. Morton’s Air Duct Alpharetta installs rigid metal ducting that meets current safety standards and is sized correctly for your dryer’s CFM output. A complete installation in Alpharetta generally runs $129 to $329, and you’ll know the exact price before any work begins.
Rigid Metal Duct Replacement
We remove old flexible or damaged ducting and replace it with smooth-wall rigid metal, which resists lint accumulation far better than corrugated foil. Fewer ridges means fewer places for lint to catch and build up.
The joints are sealed with metal tape, not duct tape, which dries out and fails within a year or two in our humid Georgia summers.
Rerouting for Safety and Efficiency
Some Alpharetta laundry rooms have vent runs that were never ideal to begin with: too long, too many bends, or venting into the attic when it should go outside. Paul Adeyemi and the team can reroute a vent line to the shortest safe path to the exterior, which reduces dryer run time and keeps your dryer running within the manufacturer’s intended parameters.
Dryer Vent Repair
Dryer Vent Repair fixes a vent line that has come loose, been crushed behind the dryer, or developed a blockage that won’t clear with cleaning alone. A disconnected vent is especially dangerous because heat and moisture spill into the laundry room or crawl space instead of outside. Morton’s Air Duct Alpharetta repairs damaged sections, reconnects joints, and replaces bent elbows in homes from downtown Alpharetta to Halcyon. Typical repair work runs $89 to $249 depending on what’s damaged and whether replacement parts are needed.
Reconnecting Disconnected Lines
It’s surprising how often a dryer has been running for months with the vent line completely separated at the back, blowing hot, humid air into the wall cavity. We find this especially often after flooring installations or appliance deliveries where a contractor moved the dryer and didn’t re-seat the connection.
Crushed and Bent Duct Repair
When a dryer sits too close to the wall, the flexible connector behind it can kink or crush, strangling airflow to a fraction of what it should be. We replace that section with a smooth metal elbow that holds its shape and restores proper flow from the first cycle after the repair.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
A Dryer Vent Cleaning Company does this work daily, with equipment sized for residential rather than industrial jobs, and with a process built around respect for your home. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning has focused on air duct and dryer vent cleaning in the Alpharetta area since 2005, and we’re part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned companies. We arrive with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment designed for the job, not rented gear from a hardware store. A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in Alpharetta falls between $89 and $229, with a written price provided before anything starts.
Why Alpharetta Families Choose Morton’s
Parents with young children and pets tell us they appreciate the quiet tools, the shoe covers, and the fact that we don’t leave a mess behind. We photograph the clean-up before we leave so you can see the condition of the laundry room without having to walk back there while the kids are still up.
Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right after the clean, we return and correct it.
The Cedarwell Care Promise
As a Cedarwell company, Morton’s holds every visit to the C.A.R.E. values: courtesy, accountability, respect, and excellence. That means a live person answers your call, the technician explains the plan before starting, and the final invoice matches the written quote.
Dryer Vent Inspection
A Dryer Vent Inspection is a visual and airflow assessment of the full vent system, typically requested by homeowners buying a new house in Alpharetta, or by families who just realized they haven’t thought about the dryer vent since moving in. We use an endoscope camera to look inside the line and identify hidden problems like separated joints, pest intrusion, or lint accumulation beyond what a brush alone can reveal. Morton’s Air Duct Alpharetta offers a standalone inspection for $79 to $149, with a written report and photos of what we find inside your vent.
Pre-Purchase Home Inspections
If you’re buying a home in Milton, Roswell, or anywhere around Alpharetta, a dryer vent inspection catches issues a general home inspector typically doesn’t scope. Hidden lint buildup or improper venting is a fire risk you’d rather know about before closing.
We work with buyers and real estate agents to schedule within tight inspection windows, and we provide a clear written summary of findings and recommended repairs.
Post-Renovation and Appliance Replacement Checks
After a laundry room remodel or a new dryer installation, it’s worth confirming the vent system is intact and performing. Newer dryers move more cubic feet per minute than older models, which means an aging vent line may no longer be adequate for the machine pushing air through it.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning is the scheduled maintenance of dryer exhaust systems in businesses that run dryers frequently: salons, gyms, veterinary clinics, pet groomers, and multi-unit properties in and around Alpharetta. The lint volume from commercial use is dramatically higher than residential, and most commercial insurance policies require documented vent cleaning on a set schedule. Morton’s Air Duct Alpharetta provides commercial service with Abatement Technologies and Guardsman equipment for larger-diameter lines, with pricing quoted per location after an on-site assessment.
Scheduled Maintenance Programs
For property managers and business owners, we set up recurring cleaning on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual rotation depending on equipment use. Your maintenance log stays current for insurance documentation, and you never have to remember to schedule the next visit.
Multi-Unit and Property Management Support
We work with HOAs and property managers across Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Lawrenceville, coordinating access to individual units and providing before-and-after documentation for each dryer vent cleaned. A single point of contact handles the whole property, and we work around tenant schedules to minimize disruption.
Brands We Service
Morton’s Air Duct Alpharetta works on dryer vent systems connected to every major dryer brand, and our technicians are familiar with the vent-length specifications and CFM outputs of Honeywell and Aprilaire dryer products, as well as every other residential make on the market. We understand how a dryer’s blower motor performance interacts with the vent run, so we clean and size the line to match the actual machine in your laundry room.
For homes with larger or commercial-grade setups, we use Abatement Technologies and Guardsman equipment to service wider-diameter ducts that standard residential brushes can’t properly reach. Whether you have a common household brand or something less typical, we can assess the vent system and clean it properly.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Clothes need two or three cycles to dry. A dryer vent that moves air freely will finish a normal load in one cycle. When the line is blocked, the moisture has nowhere to go, and the dryer’s moisture sensor keeps the heat on longer trying to compensate.
- The laundry room feels hot and humid during a cycle. Warm, damp air leaking into the room instead of exiting through the exterior vent is a sign the line is disconnected, crushed, or badly clogged. This is exactly the condition that leads to mold and mildew in the wall cavity.
- Lint is visible around the exterior vent hood. When lint accumulates on the flap or the siding around the vent, the line is overdue for cleaning. Lint should move through the vent, not hang around the exit.
- The outside flap doesn’t open during a cycle. If you can stand outside the vent and feel no airflow while the dryer runs, the line is almost certainly obstructed. Heat is building up inside the vent with nowhere to dissipate.
- You can’t remember the last time it was cleaned. If it’s been more than 18 months, or you’ve moved into a home in Alpharetta and have no idea what the previous owner did, get it inspected and cleaned. This is the single most common reason we find dangerously obstructed vents.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Initial assessment and airflow test. We measure the static pressure and airflow at the exterior vent before doing anything else. The baseline number tells us how severe the blockage is and gives us a comparison point for after the cleaning.
- 2
Written quote before any work begins. You’ll see the total price on paper before we touch the system. No surprises on the invoice, no add-ons discovered mid-job, no pressure to approve extra work.
- 3
Interior protection and equipment setup. We lay drop cloths along the path from the door to the laundry room and put on shoe covers before stepping inside. If pets are napping or kids are home, we work quietly and keep the disruption to a minimum.
- 4
Full-line cleaning with rotary brushes and HEPA filtration. Our Nikro and Rotobrush equipment agitates the walls of the vent line and simultaneously vacuum the loosened debris into a contained HEPA filter. We work from the dryer connection through to the exterior hood.
- 5
Post-clean verification and photo documentation. We measure airflow again and compare it to the baseline so you can see the improvement in real numbers. Then we photograph the cleaned vent line and the laundry room itself, showing the space left exactly as we found it, or cleaner.
How Much Does Dryer Vent Cleaning Cost in Alpharetta?
A typical residential dryer vent cleaning in Alpharetta runs $89 to $229. The variation comes down to a few specific factors: the length of the vent run (a dryer vent on an interior wall that travels 15 feet to the outside costs more than a short, direct run through an exterior wall), whether the vent is accessible from the ground or requires a ladder, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. A line that’s gone three years without service may take longer to clear than one cleaned 12 months ago.
Dryer vent installation runs $129 to $329 in most Alpharetta homes, with the higher end representing complete replacement of a long or complicated run with new rigid metal ducting. Dryer vent repair falls between $89 and $249. A standalone dryer vent inspection is $79 to $149. Every quote is written down before work begins, so you can plan around a real number instead of a range that shifts once the technician is in your laundry room.
To avoid overpaying, be wary of companies that quote a low teaser price and then add charges per vent section, per story of the home, or for the exterior hood as a “separate service.” At Morton’s, the quote is for the complete job: the full line, the connections, the exterior hood, and the airflow verification.
