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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Alafaya
If you live in Alafaya and your registers are pushing dust, the problem is often older than the furniture. Homes in Waterford Lakes and Avalon Park were built with flex ductwork running through vented attics that hit 140°F most of the summer. The ductwork sags. It separates. It pulls humid attic air into rooms you’re paying to cool. The fix usually costs between $350 and $650 for a full system clean in a 2,000-square-foot Alafaya home, and the work takes most of a day. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before anything comes off the wall.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Alafaya’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We built this business in 2013 on a simple rule: put the price in writing before work starts, then photograph the inside of every duct run before and after. Haven Standard Clause 1 isn’t a slogan. It’s the way we’ve handled 52,000+ homes across Florida. In Alafaya, that discipline matters more than most places, and we’ll tell you why.
Alafaya’s housing stock exploded between 1992 and 2010. The master-planned communities that define the area – Waterford Lakes, Cypress Springs, Eastwood – were built fast, with slab-on-grade foundations and flex duct snaked through unconditioned attic space. Two decades of 140°F heat breaks down the foil outer wrap. The inner liner separates. The ducts sag between supports. We see it on nearly every inspection we do along Alafaya Trail and Lake Underhill Road.
What separates our work from a $79 coupon outfit is what you receive at the end. A Documented Photo Record, delivered on every visit, showing the inside of each supply and return duct before and after cleaning. Not a before photo. Both. Every run. That’s the record Tomas Reyes holds his crews to on every Alafaya job.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Alafaya
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Alafaya single-family homes between 1,800 and 2,800 square feet need a full system clean every 4 to 6 years. Sooner if your home backs up to one of the retention ponds that dot the Waterford Lakes grid. We run negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration through every supply and return run, then seal the access and photograph the result. You see the dust leaving the ductwork, not just a technician’s word that it did.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Alafaya’s commercial stock is concentrated along Alafaya Trail, East Colonial Drive, and the retail centers feeding the UCF corridor. We clean duct runs in restaurants, medical offices, and small retail spaces, working around operating hours where possible. For property management groups handling multi-unit complexes near McCulloch Road, we provide written proposals with a per-system price. No per-vent games. One number, up front.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the air handler to your rooms. In Alafaya homes with flex duct in vented attics, supply runs are where we most often find drywall dust from original construction, insulation fibers, and the gray film of years of humid Florida air. A supply-only clean in a typical Alafaya home runs $200 to $300. Full system is the better value in most cases.
Return Duct Cleaning
The return side is where Alafaya’s humidity does its worst damage. Return plenums under negative pressure pull air from inside the home, but when attic flex duct separates at the collar, that negative pressure starts pulling 140°F unconditioned air straight from the attic. The return duct becomes a channel for dust, insulation, and mold spores. We inspect every return connection with a camera before cleaning, and we photograph the separation if we find it. You’ll see exactly what failed.
Video Inspection
This is the service that separates a real air duct company from a truck with a vacuum. Before any cleaning starts, we run a high-resolution camera through your main trunk and as many branch runs as accessible. You see raw footage of the interior on our screen. If there’s a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, you’ll watch it on video, not hear about it secondhand. Our specialists in Alafaya include video inspection as a standard part of every full system cleaning.
Full System Cleaning
A full system clean in Alafaya means the supply ducts, return ducts, air handler plenum, blower cabinet, and registers. We use Rotobrush and Nikro tools for agitation, paired with Abatement Technologies negative-air machines for extraction. Every run is sealed after cleaning and photographed. The typical Alafaya home runs $350 to $650 depending on system size and the condition of the flex duct. That price is written before we touch anything.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Alafaya
Most Alafaya homes run Honeywell thermostats and filtration, and we service the ductwork around them. We work on systems paired with Aprilaire media filters and Guardsman UV purifiers. Our crews carry Rotobrush and Nikro agitation heads sized to flex duct, not just rigid metal, which matters in Waterford Lakes and Eastwood where flex dominates. If you need a filter media replacement during a cleaning, we stock Honeywell and Aprilaire replacements for most models.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Alafaya Homes
- Builder’s drywall dust left at handover. Homes built in the 1990s and 2000s around Alafaya were framed, rocked, and finished with the HVAC running. Drywall dust settled into trunk lines and stayed there. New owners see white dust blowing from registers within weeks.
- Flex duct sagging in unconditioned attics. Attic temperatures in Alafaya routinely exceed 140°F from May through September. That heat softens the plastic inner liner of flex duct, causing it to sag between support straps. Sagging ducts collect debris and create airflow restrictions.
- Separated duct connections at the plenum. The vibration from an air handler, plus heat cycling, works flex duct loose from its metal collars over 15 to 30 years. Once separated, the system pulls attic air with all its dust, humidity, and insulation particles.
- Mold film in supply and return plenums. Alafaya sits near the Econlockhatchee River and is laced with retention ponds. The humidity is real. Combined with constant AC run times, moisture condenses inside plenums and creates the conditions for microbial growth that most homeowners only find when a register is removed.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Alafaya, FL
A full system duct cleaning in Alafaya runs $350 to $650 for a typical 2,000-square-foot home. That’s the whole system: supply and return runs, plenum, blower cabinet, registers.

Larger homes over 3,000 square feet with multiple returns typically run $600 to $850.
What moves the price within those ranges? System size, number of returns, whether the flex duct is intact or needs re-supporting, and whether the plenum has microbial growth requiring sanitizing.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Alafaya
Because the builder never cleaned the ducts before handing over the keys. Construction in Waterford Lakes, Eastwood, and Cypress Springs ran the air handler during drywall installation and finish work. That dust gets pulled into the return side and settles in the trunk line. New owners see white dust blowing from registers within the first few months. A camera inspection confirms it in minutes. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote on a full system clean before furniture goes in.
The signs are reduced airflow from distant registers, musty or dusty air, AC running longer than it used to, and higher electric bills during summer months. The only way to know for certain is a camera inspection through the duct runs. Our video inspection shows sagging and separation directly, and we photograph it as part of the Documented Photo Record. If we find sagging runs, we re-support them as part of the cleaning.
Rarely. Property managers along Alafaya Trail and University Boulevard track unit turnover, not HVAC maintenance history. A 200-unit complex often has no duct-cleaning record at all. New tenants inherit the dust, pet dander, and years of accumulated debris from prior occupants. If you’re renting near UCF and the registers are blowing dust, request the cleaning history. If they can’t produce one, call (806) 606-6902 for a written price on a unit-level clean.
NADCA is the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. Meeting their standards means the cleaning followed a recognized process: source removal (not just blowing air through ducts), proper containment, and cleaning of the entire system including plenums, coils, and blower. In Alafaya, where flex duct in hot attics creates unique failure modes, we clean to NADCA standards and document every run with before-and-after photography. You can verify the work was actually done.
Yes. Alafaya’s position along the Econlockhatchee River corridor and its network of retention ponds creates ambient humidity measurably higher than western Orange County. AC systems run 10 to 11 months a year, and the constant moisture cycling through ductwork creates the conditions for mold growth inside supply and return plenums. Most homeowners only notice it when they see dark staining at the register. By then, the source is inside the ductwork. Call (806) 606-6902 for an inspection and written price.
