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 Annapolis
Air duct cleaning in Annapolis, MD typically costs between $390 and $780 for a full system on a single-family home, with most jobs completed in four to seven hours. The work involves source removal using negative-pressure extraction, not just brushing registers. Prices change based on the number of returns, the age of the ductwork, and whether mold remediation is required in the plenum. That last item matters more in Annapolis than almost anywhere else in Maryland, because the combination of tidal humidity and older housing stock creates conditions inside ductwork that inland cities rarely see. If you want a written price before any work starts, call us at (806) 606-6902.
We’re CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning. We’ve been documenting the inside of ductwork with before-and-after photos since 2013, and we serve every Annapolis neighborhood from Eastport to Annapolis Neck to the historic district. Our crews carry the equipment needed to reach duct runs that were retrofitted into spaces never designed for them. Our dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from the brand’s Baltimore office; crews serve Annapolis locally.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Annapolis’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Annapolis homeowners don’t need another company that shows up with a shop vac and a coupon. What they need is a written price, a documented photo record, and a crew that has seen what Bay humidity does to ductwork. We provide all three under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, the operating protocol we’ve followed on every job since Tomas Reyes founded the company. Haven Standard Clause 1 is the one our Annapolis customers mention most: a written price delivered before any work starts, always. Not a phone estimate that changes when the van pulls up. Not a “quote” that gets revised after the first panel comes off.
Annapolis homeowners aged 32 to 50, many of whom bought between 2015 and 2025 at a steep price, tend to research exhaustively before making contact. They ask for documentation. They want to see what’s inside the duct run before they agree to pay for cleaning. That’s exactly how we work. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, inside before and after, delivered as part of the standard job record. If you bring us a competitor’s written estimate, we’ll put our own number next to it in writing. That’s the Free Second Opinion, and it costs nothing.
Our crews know Annapolis. They know that parking in the historic district means coordinating with the homeowner before arrival, that Eastport alleys are too narrow for a full-size van in some spots, and that waterfront condos on Spa Creek require scheduling through a condo association. None of that is a surprise to us. It’s just the job.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Annapolis
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Annapolis single-family homes have a mix of rigid sheet metal trunk lines and flex duct branches running through crawl spaces or attics. Our residential service covers every supply and return run, the plenums, and the registers. In waterfront neighborhoods like Annapolis Neck and Bay Ridge, where flex duct sits in crawl spaces over tidal soil, we pay specific attention to moisture staining on the outer jacket and mold on the inner liner. A full system cleaning on a three-bedroom rancher in Annapolis typically runs $420 to $610, including the photo record.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts deliver conditioned air from the air handler to each room. In Annapolis’s summer humidity, condensation forms on the inside of inadequately insulated supply ducts, and that condensation traps dust, pollen, and eventually mold spores. We clean supply runs with a Rotobrush agitation system paired with negative-pressure extraction at the plenum, so dislodged material is pulled out of the system rather than pushed into living spaces. A supply-side only cleaning in Annapolis usually falls between $240 and $380 depending on the number of runs.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler. In Annapolis homes, return plenums are frequently located in basements or crawl spaces that sit damp for much of the year. When we opened a return plenum in an Eastport rancher recently, the camera showed active mold growth fed by moisture wicking up through the crawl space floor. That’s not rare in that neighborhood; it’s the baseline. Return-side cleaning runs $220 to $360 in typical Annapolis homes. If mold is present, we quote remediation as a separate written line item with HEPA filtration and source removal.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning includes every supply and return run, both plenums, the air handler cabinet where accessible, and all registers. For Annapolis homeowners buying a home built before 1980, or anyone who has never had ducts cleaned, this is where we recommend starting. The camera doesn’t lie. We’ll show you exactly what we found at the first elbow, and exactly what it looks like after. Full system pricing for Annapolis homes typically runs $390 to $780.

The equipment in your ducts matters. In Annapolis, we regularly work alongside Honeywell media air cleaners, Aprilaire whole-home dehumidifiers, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration units. If you have an Aprilaire dehumidifier installed on your system in a damp waterfront basement, we’ll inspect the duct connections during cleaning and flag any condensate drainage issues we see. We don’t sell dehumidifiers and we don’t get paid to recommend them, but we will tell you when your Annapolis home needs one based on what the camera shows inside the return plenum. We carry Guardsman antimicrobial treatments for post-remediation application, applied only when documented mold has been found and removed, and only with a written price agreed before application.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Annapolis Homes
- Mold colonization in supply plenums near Spa Creek and Back Creek. Eastport is essentially a peninsula ringed by two tidal creeks, and the soil under many of those homes stays saturated year-round. Moisture wicks up into crawl spaces, condenses inside ductwork, and feeds mold. Ordinary dust removal doesn’t solve this. Source removal, negative pressure, and HEPA filtration do, followed by resealing to NADCA standards.
- Pinhole corrosion in exposed sheet metal ductwork. Salt-laden air off the Chesapeake accelerates oxidation in crawl space and attic ductwork. We regularly find pinholes in metal trunk lines that leak conditioned air into the crawl space. In Annapolis, this shows up far more often than it does even 20 miles inland in places like Crofton or Pasadena.
- Non-standard duct runs in historic district homes. The 18th- and 19th-century structures around State Circle and Prince George Street were never designed for central air. Ductwork was retrofitted into narrow chases, between original joists, and around plaster walls. Standard cleaning tools cannot always reach the full length of those runs. Our crews carry specialized agitation equipment for exactly this situation, and we’ve cleaned enough historic Annapolis homes to know which access points work and which ones risk damaging original plaster.
- Restricted equipment access in waterfront neighborhoods. Eastport alleys are narrow. Some Annapolis Neck driveways wind tight. We coordinate parking and access before arrival, and our equipment is sized to reach the mechanical room without needing to run hoses through your living room window. That’s a field problem, not an office problem, and our crews solve it every week.

What pushes a price up in Annapolis specifically? Mold remediation, non-standard duct runs in historic homes, crawl space access with limited clearance, and the number of returns. What doesn’t affect the price: the time of year, how busy the schedule is, or whatever number a coupon promised. If you have a written estimate from another Annapolis company, bring it to us.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Annapolis
If your home sits within a quarter mile of Spa Creek, Back Creek, or any tidal inlet, we recommend inspecting ductwork every two years and cleaning every three to four years. The chronic humidity means mold can establish in a return plenum within a single summer if condensation is present. If you’ve never had ducts cleaned and the home is more than 20 years old, start with a video inspection. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you exactly what’s inside.
Yes. We’ve cleaned duct runs in 18th- and 19th-century homes around the historic district where access to trunk lines is cramped and original plaster is inches away. We use smaller-diameter agitation tools designed for non-standard runs, and we don’t cut into plaster to create access unless you’ve already agreed to a written scope that includes repair. The historic district is one of the only places in Maryland where this level of access planning is required on a routine basis, and it’s a normal part of our Annapolis scheduling process.
Annapolis sits at the confluence of the Severn River and the Chesapeake Bay, and summer morning relative humidity regularly hits 85 to 90 percent. At that level, condensation forms on the inside of insufficiently insulated supply ducts, and that moisture feeds mold. Frederick and Rockville have lower sustained humidity and less tidal soil moisture, so mold in ductwork is far less common there. In Annapolis’s waterfront neighborhoods, mold in supply and return plenums is the defining air duct problem, not ordinary dust accumulation. Cleaning mold requires source removal, negative pressure, HEPA filtration, and resealing to NADCA standards, not just brushing.
Yes. We service dryer vents in stacked condo buildings, including older waterfront complexes along Spa Creek and Back Creek. We’ll inspect the vent run with a camera, identify blockages or disconnections, and clean with a rotary brush and high-powered extraction. We also coordinate access through your condo association when needed, especially when the vent termination is on a roof or exterior wall that requires scheduled access. Dryer vent cleaning in Annapolis is typically a separate service and is quoted in writing before work starts.
We start by opening the supply plenum and running a camera through the main trunk line to document what’s actually there. In Eastport and Annapolis Neck, that camera frequently shows mold growth on the interior lining, moisture staining, or corrosion pinholes. We then connect a negative-pressure extraction system at the plenum, seal off registers, and run agitation tools through each run to dislodge material. After source removal, we document every run with after photos and deliver the full photo record to you. If mold is found, we quote remediation as a separate written line item before proceeding. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection.
