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 Carrollton
Air duct cleaning in Carrollton typically costs $395-$685 for a full residential system, and the real issue in most of this city’s homes isn’t dust. It’s 35- to 45-year-old flex duct with cracked mylar liners pulling attic air into living spaces. We serve the whole Carrollton area, from Indian Creek to Woodlake to the Frankford Road corridor, and we document every duct run with before-and-after photos before we leave.
Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before a single panel comes off. That’s how we’ve done it since our first job in 2013, and it’s written into Haven Standard Clause 1.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Carrollton’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Most duct cleaning companies in Carrollton sell a visit. We deliver a documented record. Every job ends with a photo file showing the inside of each duct run before we touched it and after we finished. If the work isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise says we come back and make it right, in writing, not as a courtesy. That’s the whole reason the company was built: an industry known for $79 coupons and shop-vac noise needed a direct answer.
Tomas Reyes, who runs CleanRun, spent years watching homeowners in this part of North Texas get billed for work they couldn’t verify. So he built crews around a simple discipline: background-checked, uniformed technicians, named before arrival, working under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard. Our license number is published on the page, not buried in a footer. We serve Carrollton from our Dallas-Fort Worth metro office, and our crews know the housing stock here block by block.
Carrollton homeowners tend to research before they call. They want to see written prices, verifiable equipment, and a warranty that means something. That’s why our quote sheets name the equipment we’re using, which includes Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. You can look up every one of those brands before you agree to a dollar figure.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Carrollton
Residential Duct Cleaning
A standard Carrollton home built between 1975 and 1995 has supply and return ducts running through the attic, not a conditioned basement. That means decades of 150°F summer heat have been baking whatever’s inside those runs. Our residential cleaning is a source-removal process, not a surface brush-over. We use HEPA-filtered negative pressure to pull debris out of the system rather than stirring it into the house, and we photograph every run so you can see what came out.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Retail, office, and medical spaces along Belt Line Road and Josey Lane face different problems than homes do: higher occupancy, longer run times, and more recirculated air. We schedule commercial work around your operating hours in Carrollton, and the documentation package every commercial client receives includes the same before-and-after photo record we give residential clients. No exceptions. A written scope and a written price come first.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts are the runs that carry conditioned air from the plenum to each room. In Carrollton’s slab-on-grade homes, those supplies sit entirely in the attic. When the mylar liner inside the flex duct cracks, the supply side is where attic air gets pulled into rooms. Our supply duct cleaning includes inspection for exactly that failure mode, because cleaning a cracked supply run without sealing it is a waste of a service call. We’ll show you the camera footage either way.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the HVAC unit to be reconditioned. In Carrollton’s older homes, returns are often panned metal or fiberglass duct board, both of which degrade differently than flex. Fiberglass duct board in particular delaminates after 40 years of attic heat, and the inner facing releases glass fibers into the airstream. We clean returns thoroughly, but we also flag when a return needs sealing or replacement instead. That’s the difference between a cleaning and a fix.
Video Inspection
Every CleanRun visit includes video inspection as part of the standard process. Not as an add-on. We push a camera through the runs before cleaning, and we push it through again after. You see what was in there, what came out, and what the duct looks like when we’re done. For Carrollton homeowners trying to figure out whether a “cleaning” actually happened, the video record removes the argument. It’s in the job file, delivered to you.
Full System Cleaning
For Carrollton homes that haven’t had ductwork touched since the original 1980s installation, we recommend full system cleaning. That means the supply side, the return side, the plenum, and the blower housing. It’s a longer visit and it costs more, but it addresses the entire airstream, not just the visible side. In homes along Hebron Parkway and Josey Lane, full system work often uncovers problems a basic clean would miss entirely.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service and Use in Carrollton
The equipment we run comes from Abatement Technologies, Nikro, and Rotobrush. The components we commonly replace or recommend are Aprilaire and Honeywell, both of which are common in Carrollton HVAC systems from the 1980s and 1990s. If your ducts were installed with Honeywell controls or an Aprilaire media cabinet, our techs are familiar with them and can source compatible parts without a long wait. We don’t keep a warehouse in Carrollton, but our DFW supply relationships mean most parts are on hand within a day or two. That matters when the alternative is leaving a homeowner without heat or AC because a part is on backorder.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Carrollton Homes
- Cracked mylar flex liners. Original flex duct from Carrollton’s 1980s buildout gets brittle after decades of attic heat cycling. The inner liner cracks, the duct pulls apart at connections, and 150°F attic air mixes with your conditioned air before it reaches the register.
- Delaminated fiberglass duct board plenums. Homes near Josey Lane and Hebron Parkway often have original fiberglass duct board supply plenums. The interior facing separates over time, and glass fibers enter the airstream. Homeowners treat the symptoms as allergies for years before anyone looks inside the plenum.
- Baked-on allergen debris. Carrollton’s mountain cedar pollen every winter, then oak and elm in spring, gets pulled into the HVAC system. A 100°F+ summer bakes that organic load onto duct surfaces. It takes aggressive agitation and real extraction to dislodge, not a brush on a stick.
- Crushed or disconnected runs. In slab-on-grade attics, anyone who’s been up there for cable runs, new insulation, or a roof repair can knock a flex run loose. We find disconnected returns and crushed supplies regularly in Carrollton, often where the homeowner had no idea the duct was compromised.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Carrollton, TX
A full residential air duct cleaning in Carrollton typically runs $395-$685 for a single system home. That’s the whole-system price, not a teaser rate that balloons once our van is in your driveway. Larger homes with two systems run $700-$1,050. Supply-only cleaning runs $250-$400, return-only $175-$325, and video inspection is included in every job we do, not priced separately. If sealing or replacing cracked flex runs comes out of the inspection, that gets quoted as a separate written line item before any work starts. You’ll know the number before you approve anything.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Carrollton
Because every supply and return duct in a slab-on-grade home runs through the attic, and Carrollton’s 1980s subdivisions have attics that routinely hit 150°F in summer. That heat cycles the flex duct materials thousands of times over four decades. The mylar inner liner cracks and separates at the flex connections, and the duct’s outer jacket gets brittle. Then anyone who works in the attic, for insulation, cable, or roof repairs, can knock a compromised run loose without much force. It’s structural, not neglect. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you on camera which runs are compromised.
Partially. Cleaning removes the allergen-laden debris that’s accumulated in your ducts, but if your home has cracked flex liners or a delaminated duct board plenum, the real issue is attic air being drawn into living spaces. Mountain cedar pollen settles in your attic through soffit vents. If your duct system is pulling attic air in, cleaning the ducts helps temporarily, but sealing the leak is what actually stops the exposure. We’ll do both, and we’ll show you the video to prove which problem you have. Call (806) 606-6902 for an assessment.
You may see fine white or glassy fibers on your registers or on surfaces near supply vents. Or you may have allergy symptoms that never fully clear, even after changing filters and taking medication. The only way to confirm it is a camera inspection of the plenum. We push a scope into the supply plenum and look at the interior facing. If it’s delaminated, you’ll see it on our video. That’s not a guess, and it’s not something we “suspect.” It’s documented. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule the inspection.
A basic cleaning addresses the inside surfaces of accessible duct runs. A full-system service includes the supply side, the return side, the plenum, and the blower housing, plus the inspection and documentation to identify whether the ducts need sealing or replacing as well. In Carrollton’s 1980s homes, the full-system service is usually the right call, because the failures we find are at the connections and in the plenum, not just dust on duct walls. You’ll see the before video before you decide on any repair scope. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written scope together.
It depends on the duct material. Metal ducts can usually be brought back to clean metal with aggressive agitation and HEPA-filtered negative pressure. Fiberglass duct board, which is common in this city, often needs replacement once the interior facing has degraded, because cleaning can’t restore a delaminated surface. We’ll tell you what your specific system needs after we see the camera footage, and we’ll quote the cleaning and any sealing work as separate line items. A written price before work starts, on every job. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote.
What Carrollton Homeowners Should Know Before Hiring Any Duct Cleaning Company
Carrollton’s 1980s subdivisions along Frankford Road and Belt Line Road were built quickly to meet demand, and the duct systems installed in those decades are now failing on a predictable schedule. A technician who works these neighborhoods regularly knows what to look for: original fiberglass duct board plenums in homes near Indian Creek and Woodlake that are delaminating after 40 years of Texas attic heat, cracked flex connectors at the register boxes, and crushed runs where someone worked in the attic years ago and never reconnected them.
On a recent call near Josey Lane and Hebron Parkway, our tech found a supply plenum where the interior facing had completely separated. Glass fibers were moving through the airstream. The homeowners had been treating the symptoms as seasonal allergies for years. We pulled the contaminated material out with HEPA-filtered negative pressure, sealed the plenum, and replaced the cracked flex runs feeding the master bedroom and living room. That’s the real fix, and it’s documented in the photo record we gave them at the end of the job.
This isn’t a problem generic duct cleaning pages mention, because it requires actually working in Carrollton’s housing stock week after week. We do. We see the same failure patterns block after block, and we tell you about them in plain language, with the camera footage to back it up. Not because it sells more work. Because it’s what’s actually in the ducts.
Every air duct cleaning in Carrollton we perform includes the written price before work starts, the documented photo record of every duct run, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. That’s what accountable work looks like.
Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule your clean, show you what’s in there, and give you a number you can hold us to. Free second opinions on any written estimate, too.
