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 Broomfield
Air duct cleaning in Broomfield typically costs $395-$685 for a full single-family system, and because this is a scheduled, documented job rather than an emergency, the smart move is to compare written scopes before you book. We’re CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard since 2013, and we bring full negative-pressure extraction and a camera into every duct run we touch. If you live in Broadlands, Anthem, Wildgrass, or anywhere else in Broomfield’s 80021 or 80023 zip codes, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before a single panel comes off.
The ductwork in this city carries a specific history. The Marshall Fire of December 2021 burned through Superior and Louisville, directly bordering Broomfield, and the smoke that settled into forced-air systems here didn’t leave when the evacuation orders lifted. We find gray-brown combustion residue in supply runs of homes that were never evacuated. More on that below, because it changes what a legitimate cleaning actually requires.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Broomfield’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Broomfield’s 1990s-2000s tract housing means something real to us. In subdivisions like Broadlands, Anthem, and Wildgrass, the original builder-grade sheet-metal and flex-duct systems are now 15-30 years old. The layouts are nearly identical block after block, which sounds convenient, but it also means the same builder shortcuts repeat everywhere: undersized returns, poorly sealed boot connections, and flex duct that has sagged or separated. A technician who has worked one home in these neighborhoods has effectively seen the next hundred, but only if they know what to look for.
That’s where our Air Duct Cleaning team’s documented approach matters. We don’t sell a visit; we deliver a record. Every job starts with a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1, and every job ends with a photo record of the inside of every duct run, before and after. You see what the camera saw. Written by Tomas Reyes, Owner at CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, and every one of our technicians is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival.
We don’t run a call center. You call (806) 606-6902 and a live person answers. Scheduling for Broomfield is coordinated from our Denver office, and crews work throughout Broomfield regularly, so lead times are measured in days, not weeks.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Broomfield
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Broomfield homes we clean are full systems: supply and return runs, the plenum (the box where ducts attach to the furnace), and the registers. A typical single-family home here runs $395-$685 depending on the number of runs and the level of post-fire particulate we’re dealing with. We set up negative-pressure extraction at the plenum and work each run with agitation tools so debris isn’t just loosened, it’s pulled out of the system entirely.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Broomfield’s commercial buildings, particularly along the Route 36 corridor and the Interlocken business park, have different access constraints than tract homes. We schedule around business hours, coordinate with facility managers, and provide the same written scope and photo documentation we give residential customers. Pricing for commercial systems is quoted by total square footage and run count, always in writing before work starts.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply runs are the ducts that push conditioned air into rooms, and in Broomfield they’re frequently the most contaminated part of the system after the Marshall Fire. Smoke residue tends to coat supply runs first because particulates are drawn through the return, heated, and distributed outward. We see a distinct gray-brown film in homes that never evacuated in 2021. Full supply cleaning in Broomfield typically runs $180-$300 as part of a full-system job.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back toward the furnace, which means they carry whatever your home’s air holds: dust, pet dander, and in Broomfield specifically, fine High Plains dust that chinook winds push through every crack and window gap. Return runs in 1990s tract homes often have poorly sealed boot connections at the wall, so cleaning them alone won’t fix anything if that seal isn’t addressed. We flag it when we see it, with photos.
Video Inspection
Every CleanRun job in Broomfield includes video inspection as part of the standard scope, not as an optional upsell. The camera goes into the run. You see the debris at the first elbow, the smoke residue on the sheet metal, the disconnected flex run. Then you see the after image. We use professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman, brands you can look up independently before agreeing to anything.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Broomfield
We work on systems built around Broomfield’s predominant HVAC brands: Carrier, Lennox, Trane, and Goodman are the nameplates we see most often in 80021 and 80023. Our cleaning approach is brand-neutral because duct contamination doesn’t care what label is on the furnace. We stock common registers, flex duct connectors, and boot seals for faster turnaround on in-duct repairs, and our extraction equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro is maintained to manufacturer spec.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Broomfield Homes
- Post-Marshall-Fire smoke residue - A gray-brown film on supply runs in homes that were never evacuated but still absorbed smoke through return vents for weeks after December 2021. Owners didn’t see fire damage, but they smell it when the furnace kicks on in October.
- Undersized returns in tract subdivisions - Broadlands, Anthem, and Wildgrass were built fast and uniformly. Returns are often too small for the square footage, which means the furnace works harder and debris accumulates faster. A filter-change alone won’t correct that.
- Poorly sealed boot connections - Where the duct meets the wall register, builders often left gaps. Air leaks pull dust from wall cavities directly into the airstream. We find this block after block in 1990s construction.
- Shared condo dryer vent stacks - In multi-unit buildings, dryer vents often run through a common vertical stack. One unit’s lint load backs up into neighboring units. We coordinate with building management to clean the entire stack when possible. Fires from blocked dryer vents are a real, documented hazard, and this is not a DIY fix.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Broomfield
Smoke, ash, and fine combustion particulates from the December 2021 Marshall Fire were drawn into forced-air systems through return vents, settling inside supply and return runs as a gray-brown residue. Homes in Broomfield’s 80021 and 80023 zip codes, even those never under evacuation, absorbed this load for weeks while furnaces cycled. It doesn’t wash out with a filter change; it requires agitation and negative-pressure extraction to remove. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote on post-fire particulate removal.
The builder-grade sheet-metal and flex-duct systems installed across subdivisions like Broadlands, Anthem, and Wildgrass are now 15-30 years old, which is the first-cleaning window for most systems. But they were also built with undersized returns and poorly sealed boot connections that pull dust from wall cavities directly into the airstream. The system accumulates debris faster than a properly built one would, and a superficial register vacuuming won’t address the seals. We flag those shortcuts with photos during video inspection.
Yes. Planned communities in Broomfield often have tight parking and equipment access constraints, which is a legitimate issue for full negative-pressure setups. Some companies skip it and do a register-level vacuum that fails NADCA standards. We don’t. Our crews work with building management to secure a truck space or stage equipment in a service area, and we coordinate access for shared vertical dryer vent stacks where one unit’s lint load can backpressure into another. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk you through what your building needs.
It’s almost certainly fine combustion particulate from the Marshall Fire smoke that settled inside your supply runs and is now being pushed out as the furnace distributes air. Broomfield sits on the Front Range prairie at roughly 5,300 feet, with strong chinook winds that carried fire smoke and High Plains dust into homes across the metro edge. The residue isn’t visible from the register face; the camera sees it inside the run. We remove it with HEPA-filtered negative pressure, not by wiping the register.
Elevation itself doesn’t make contamination worse, but Broomfield’s exposure to chinook winds and foothills wildfire smoke does. The city sits on the open prairie with less tree cover than Denver’s urban core, so fine dust and smoke particulate infiltrate homes more directly. Combined with the 1990s-2000s tract housing uniformity and the Marshall Fire load, Broomfield duct systems carry a specific contamination profile that differs from Denver or Boulder. A written quote is available by calling (806) 606-6902.
