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 Denton
Air duct cleaning in Denton typically runs $450-$850 for a full residential system, and most homes near UNT or TWU need source removal plus sealing work rather than a basic vacuum pass. We’ve been cleaning ducts in Denton long enough to know the difference between routine dust and the kind of buildup that comes from a decade of deferred landlord maintenance. If you live in a 1960s rental off Bonnie Brae or a new build south toward Corinth, your ductwork has a specific set of problems, and we can tell you exactly what they are before we touch a single panel. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Denton’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We take the photo first. That’s the whole approach. When a CleanRun tech shows up at a Denton home, the first thing we do is put a camera down the duct run so you can see what’s actually in there. Not a stock photo of a dirty vent. Your duct, your house, that afternoon. Then we write down a price, and that price doesn’t change unless you add work to the scope. Haven Standard Clause 1: written price before any work starts, every time. No exceptions, no “well, once we got in there we found…”
We carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman. You can look those brands up. They’re what commercial remediation crews run, not what a $79 coupon company wheels out of a minivan. Every CleanRun tech is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. Every job ends with a documented photo record of every duct run, inside, before and after. That record is yours to keep, and it’s also ours to stand behind.
We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard. Tomas Reyes leads the crew. We don’t do franchises, we don’t do bait pricing, and we don’t send a salesperson to “inspect” your ducts while a tech waits in the truck. The person who quotes your job is the person who does your job.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Denton
Here’s what we actually do when we clean ducts in Denton. Not a generic list. The specific work that matches what Denton’s housing stock throws at us.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Denton homes we clean fall into two groups. The first is campus-adjacent rentals from the 1960s through 1980s, where flexible duct runs have kinked, crushed, or pulled loose at the boot connections over years of tenant turnover. The second is new construction south and east toward Corinth, where the builder ran the HVAC during drywall and flooring work and left a layer of construction dust baked into every run. Full residential cleaning means negative-pressure extraction at the plenum, contact cleaning at each register, and a final video walkthrough you can watch.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Denton’s commercial stock covers everything from restaurants on the Square to office buildings off I-35E and medical suites near the hospitals. Commercial systems run longer hours, pull more particulates, and get inspected less often than residential systems. We clean supply and return runs, plenums, and coil areas, and we schedule around your operating hours so you don’t lose a day of business. Documentation is the same as residential: written scope, before and after photos, written record.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the air handler to your rooms. In Denton, supply runs in older homes near Bonnie Brae and Scripture Street are often original fibrous ductwork that has degraded internally. That material doesn’t just collect dust, it sheds fibers into your airstream. We clean supply runs with rotating brush systems and HEPA-filtered negative air, then we show you the camera footage so you can see the difference between dust removal and actual source removal.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the system, which means they pull dust, pet hair, and rodent debris toward the air handler. On the older streets near UNT, we routinely find return runs partially detached at the boot, drawing attic air straight into the system. That means everything in the attic - insulation particles, dust from the Cross Timbers farmland, whatever’s left behind by pests - gets pushed into the living space. Cleaning the return side often uncovers a disconnection that cleaning alone can’t fix. We seal it, mastic it, then clean the full run.
Full System Cleaning
This is supply, return, plenum, air handler, and coil cleaning as one scoped job. For Denton homes that have gone five years or more without service, this is almost always what we recommend. It’s the only way to get to the source of the problem instead of just brushing the registers.
Video Inspection
This is the part we wish every Denton homeowner asked for up front. Before any cleaning quote, we run a camera through the duct system. You see what we see. A 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, a crushed flex run in the attic, a boot that’s pulling apart. Then the price we write makes sense because you saw the problem with your own eyes. We don’t sell you on something we found; we show you the photo and let the photo do the talking.
Duct Repair & Sealing
Cleaning reveals what’s broken. In Denton’s older rental stock, that’s usually a disconnected or crushed flex run. In new construction, it’s leaky boots and gaps at the plenum. We repair and seal using mastic and industry-standard materials, then document the repair the same way we document the cleaning. Air Duct Cleaning is the entry point; sealing is what keeps the system working after we leave.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Denton
We work on systems built around Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman components, and we carry the parts Denton customers need most: mastic, boot connectors, flex duct sections, and filter media. If your system has a Guardsman air cleaner or a Honeywell bypass humidifier, we know how those components integrate with the ductwork, and we don’t break them while we clean. Our extraction and brush equipment comes from Rotobrush and Nikro, two manufacturers you can research independently. If you’d rather verify what we use before you agree to a price, we’ll tell you exactly what’s going into your house.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Denton Homes
- Crushed or kinked flexible duct runs in campus-adjacent rentals. Years of deferred landlord maintenance means flex duct in attics gets pinched, stepped on, or pulled loose. The system pulls attic air into bedrooms and the tenant never knows. We find it with a camera, then reconnect and seal.
- Degraded original fibrous ductwork in 1960s-1980s homes. The internal liner breaks down, particles enter the airstream, and the ducts lose structural integrity. Cleaning slows the shedding; sealing or section replacement is the real fix.
- Construction dust in new builds south and east toward Corinth. Builders run HVAC during drywall, painting, and flooring. The result is a brand-new house with ducts full of drywall dust and insulation fibers. We clean before you move furniture in.
- Cross Timbers dust loading from surrounding farmland. Dry northwest winds push cultivated soil through Denton for six-plus months a year. Systems here accumulate particulate faster than identical systems in more urban Dallas suburbs. April through October is the heavy season.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Denton
Denton sits where the Cross Timbers meets the Blackland Prairie, and dry northwest winds push cultivated soil through town for most of the year. That means HVAC systems here see heavier particulate loading than comparably aged homes in more urban or coastal climates. We recommend Denton homeowners have ducts cleaned every 4-5 years, or every 3-4 if you live near active farmland or construction zones south toward Corinth. If you’ve gone a decade or more, you’re not cleaning dust anymore, you’re cleaning a layer of compacted soil. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
In the older streets off Bonnie Brae and around the UNT campus, we typically find flexible duct runs that have kinked or detached at the boot connection over years of tenant turnover and deferred maintenance. That means the system has been pulling attic air into living spaces, along with insulation particles, rodent debris, and accumulated dust. In one home near UNT, our tech pulled a return register and found a flex run partially kinked at the boot, blowing attic dust into a bedroom. We reconnected the duct, sealed the boot with mastic, and ran full source removal with HEPA filtration. The air handler stopped cycling attic dust within a day.
No. Cleaning removes buildup inside intact ducts, but a disconnected or crushed flex run needs repair or replacement before cleaning makes sense. That’s why we run the video inspection before we quote. If we find a disconnection, we write it into the scope as a separate line item with a separate price. You approve it before we do it. Our duct repair and sealing work uses mastic and industry-standard flex duct sections, and we document every repair with before and after photos. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you what’s actually going on in your attic.
Yes, more often than you’d think. In new construction south and east toward Corinth, builders routinely keep the HVAC system running during drywall work, painting, and flooring installation. That pulls construction dust, drywall particles, and insulation fibers into the duct system before the first occupant ever moves in. We’ve cleaned brand-new homes where the supply registers were coated in white drywall dust on move-in day. A new-home duct clean in Denton typically runs $400-$700 depending on system size. Call (806) 606-6902 before you unpack.
We use negative-pressure extraction. The entire duct system is sealed at the registers, and a HEPA-filtered vacuum unit creates negative pressure inside the ducts while rotating brushes agitate the buildup loose. All the debris moves in one direction - out through the vacuum, not into your living room. After extraction, we run the camera again so you can see the before and after. This is the same process used in remediation work, and it’s the only approach we use in Denton homes. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
We coordinate scheduling out of our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and our crews serve Denton locally. Most Denton appointments are scheduled within two to five business days. We don’t do same-day emergency duct cleaning, because real source removal takes time and we don’t rush it. We’ll give you a specific arrival time, and the technician’s name before they show up.
Yes. Every job in Denton is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right, we make it right, in writing, for a full year. That’s not a manager’s discretion policy, it’s a written guarantee that goes with every job record. We also include a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after, so there’s a verifiable record of what was done.
