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 in Canton, MA
Dryer vent cleaning in Canton runs $129 to $289 for a standard single-family home, and the job usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. What makes Canton different is the age and uniformity of the housing stock: most homes were built between 1985 and 2005, which means the dryer vents, like the ductwork, are now 20 to 40 years old and were installed quickly during a building surge. If you need a written price before anyone touches your system, call (806) 606-6902.
Why Canton Homes Are Different
Canton’s housing stock is unusually age-concentrated. The township experienced one of Michigan’s most intense suburban building booms between roughly 1985 and 2005, and the result is tens of thousands of production-built colonials, split-levels, and ranches whose original mechanical systems all hit their maintenance window around the same time. The ductwork in these homes is typically a mix of hard-pipe trunk lines and flex-duct branches, and after two or three decades, we routinely find debris accumulation, joint separations at boot connections, and flex-duct sags that trap dust and allergens.
The climate compounds it. Canton’s humid continental weather pushes furnaces hard from October through April, and the area’s proximity to Lake Erie moisture corridors produces humid summers that create condensation risk inside cooled duct runs. Heavy seasonal cycling means homeowners here circulate air through their duct systems far more hours per year than households in milder climates. In neighborhoods like Sunflower, Cherry Hill Village-area developments, and the clusters off Sheldon Road, we regularly find that installer-stapled flexible duct runs from the mid-1990s have sagged at mid-span, creating low-point pockets where years of pet dander, insulation fibers, and drywall dust from original construction have packed solid. A furnace filter never touches that.
Finished basements are nearly universal in Canton, which means ductwork runs are extensive and often partially concealed behind drywall. That requires more access work than in slab-construction markets, and it is one reason written, itemized pricing matters here more than in cities with simpler layouts.
Our Main Canton Services
Most Canton homeowners call us first for one of two jobs: a full air duct cleaning to address the 20-to-40-year build-up in their original ductwork, or a broader HVAC cleaning that includes the blower, coils, and plenum.
Air Duct Cleaning in Canton
In Canton, a full Air Duct Cleaning in Canton means opening the supply and return sides of the system, agitating the interior walls of every run, and extracting debris under negative pressure. We photograph the inside of each duct run before and after, so you can see the difference. Given the age of Canton’s flex-duct branches, we also check for sags and boot separations as part of the standard walkthrough, because a cleaned duct with a separated joint will re-contaminate within months.
HVAC Cleaning in Canton
HVAC Cleaning in Canton pulls the blower assembly, cleans the evaporator coil and plenum, and clears the condensate path. Canton’s humid summers mean coils here collect a biofilm layer that a duct-only cleaning never addresses, and a clean coil is what protects the system’s airflow and efficiency through the long heating season.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Canton
Dryer vent cleaning in Canton typically costs between $129 and $289 for a standard single-family home. The job usually takes under 90 minutes and should be done every 12 to 24 months. Canton’s 1985-2005 housing boom means most dryer vents are original to the home, often running 10 to 20 feet through finished basements or up through wall cavities before they reach the exterior. That length, plus the lint load from 20 to 40 years of use, is why this service matters here more than in newer subdivisions. We handle Dryer Vent Cleaning with the same documentation standard as every other CleanRun job: written price before work starts, photo record when we finish.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take longer than 45 minutes to dry, the dryer feels hot to the touch, or you cannot remember the last time the vent line was looked at.
What it costs in Canton
A camera inspection in Canton runs $79 to $149, and it is credited toward the cleaning if we do the work the same day.
How we do it
We run a camera from the dryer connection to the exterior termination point, photograph every turn and restriction, and show you the images before quoting anything.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
You see lint accumulating around the dryer or the exterior vent flap does not open when the dryer is running.
What it costs in Canton
Standard vent cleaning in Canton is $129 to $229, depending on vent length and access.
How we do it
We brush the full vent run, then use a HEPA-filtered negative-air machine to pull loosened lint out through the exterior termination.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
There is visible lint build-up at the exterior vent cap, or the dryer has tripped a thermal safety sensor more than once.
What it costs in Canton
Heavy lint removal in Canton runs $149 to $289 when the line is packed or runs more than 15 feet.
How we do it
We work the line from both ends, photograph the packed sections we remove, and verify full airflow at the termination point.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Canton
| Item | Typical range in Canton |
|---|---|
| Camera inspection | $79 - $149 |
| Standard vent cleaning | $129 - $229 |
| Heavy lint removal / long runs | $149 - $289 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Canton?
Every 12 to 24 months for most Canton households. Homes with longer vent runs, finished-basement routing, or multiple pets should lean toward the 12-month side.
Can you clean a dryer vent that runs through a finished basement ceiling?
Yes. We clean from both the dryer connection and the exterior termination, and the photo record shows the full interior of the run even when most of the line is concealed.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Canton
Duct repair and sealing in Canton runs $349 to $1,600 depending on scope, with whole-system sealing typically falling between $900 and $1,800. The problem we see most often in Canton’s 1985-2005 housing stock is joint separation: the flex-duct branches installer-stapled during the boom years pull away from hard-pipe trunks and boots over time. We document every repair with before and after photos and write the price before any panel comes off. Our Duct Repair & Sealing work carries the same 365-Day Done Right Promise as every CleanRun job.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Some rooms never reach the thermostat temperature, or dust accumulates on registers within days of cleaning.
What it costs in Canton
Whole-system duct sealing in Canton runs $900 to $1,800, with partial sealing starting around $349.
How we do it
We locate leaks with a pressure test or smoke pencil, seal joints with mastic or aluminum tape, and photograph every repaired connection.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You see sagging flexible duct in the basement, or one room has noticeably weaker airflow than the rest of the house.
What it costs in Canton
Flex duct repair in Canton ranges from $180 to $550, depending on how many runs need re-supporting or replacement.
How we do it
We re-support sagged runs, replace crushed or torn sections, and seal both ends at the trunk and boot connections.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Canton
| Item | Typical range in Canton |
|---|---|
| Sealing accessible leaks | $349 - $700 |
| Flex duct repair / re-support | $180 - $550 |
| Whole-system duct sealing | $900 - $1,800 |
Does duct sealing actually make a difference in Canton homes?
Yes, particularly in 20-to-40-year-old tract homes where the original flex connections have loosened. Sealed ducts deliver the air you are already paying to heat or cool, instead of leaking it into the basement.
Can you fix ducts behind finished drywall without cutting it open?
Sometimes, if the leak is at an accessible boot or trunk connection. For concealed joints, we use a camera to confirm the failure point first, then quote the minimum access work in writing.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Canton
Air quality and sanitizing work in Canton runs $299 to $1,400 depending on the treatment type and system size. What drives it here is the combination of humid summers and long furnace seasons: condensation inside cooled duct runs creates mold-friendly conditions wherever there is a small leak or insulation gap. We treat that with products applied after mechanical cleaning, not instead of it. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service includes a photo record of the treated surfaces and a written scope of what was applied.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You see visible growth inside a duct or on a register, or there is a persistent musty smell that gets stronger when the blower runs.
What it costs in Canton
Mold treatment in Canton runs $350 to $900, depending on the affected area and access.
How we do it
We remove the visible growth mechanically, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to the treated surfaces, and photograph the area before and after.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
A stale or sour smell lingers after cleaning, or the system picks up odors from pets, cooking, or the previous owner’s habits.
What it costs in Canton
Odor neutralization in Canton typically runs $299 to $550 for a standard single-family system.
How we do it
We treat the supply and return runs with a commercial-grade deodorizer and replace the filter with a media-rated option that holds the result.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Canton
| Item | Typical range in Canton |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $350 - $900 |
| Odor removal | $299 - $550 |
| UV light or air purifier install | $550 - $1,400 |
Can you sanitize ducts without cleaning them first?
We do not, and we will not quote it. Sanitizing over a debris layer means the product never reaches the duct surface. Mechanical cleaning always precedes any antimicrobial application.
Is the product you use safe for my kids and pets?
The antimicrobial we use is EPA-registered for HVAC applications, and we provide the product name and SDS sheet in writing before application. You will know exactly what went into your system.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Canton
We schedule Canton jobs in a normal appointment window, typically within a few business days. We do not promise same-day service, because we do not want to rush a job that should be measured and documented properly.
For interior duct cleaning and repair, no. Exterior work like dryer vent termination changes or adding a vent cap could fall under HOA rules in some Canton subdivisions, and we will flag that before touching the exterior if it looks questionable.
Yes, but the access and pricing change when duct runs cross into shared walls or common chases. We quote those jobs after a site visit so the written price reflects the actual access conditions, not a guess.
For a written price on any of the services on this page, call CleanRun at (806) 606-6902. We will walk the system with you, show you what the camera sees, and put the number in writing before any work starts.

What Canton Customers Say
"Flat price agreed up front, no per-vent add-ons at the end. That was the whole reason I did not call the coupon company."
- Suzanne B."The dryer vent was almost completely blocked with lint. They showed me the photograph and I understood immediately why the dryer had been running twice."
- Lucia M."They found a disconnected duct in the crawl space that had been dumping conditioned air under the house for years. Photographed it, quoted the repair, fixed it."
- Devon A.
