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 Everett
Air duct cleaning in Everett, MA typically costs between $450 and $900 for a full system on a standard single-family home, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. If you live in one of Everett’s older crawl-space homes near the Snohomish River delta or along Broadway, you’re dealing with a moisture problem most national duct cleaning companies never see. We know because we’ve been documenting it in Everett homes since 2013. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts, along with a documented photo record of every duct run when the crew leaves.
Everett isn’t a simple market for ductwork. The city’s position on Puget Sound’s eastern shore, combined with its massive stock of post-WWII crawl-space homes built for Boeing and Puget Sound Naval Station workers, means ductwork routinely runs through chronically damp sub-floor environments where marine humidity never fully clears. That makes mold and microbial contamination inside duct systems a baseline condition here, not an edge case. Add the late-summer pattern of wildfire smoke from eastern Washington and British Columbia funneling directly into the Snohomish River valley, and Everett has a genuine two-season loading problem: biological growth through the nine-month wet season, then dense fine-particulate accumulation during smoke events. Anyone cleaning ducts here needs to understand both.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Everett’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, and our approach in Everett comes down to evidence. Every job starts with a written price before a single panel comes off, and ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, inside, before and after. That’s not a marketing promise. It’s Haven Standard Clause 1 and it’s been how we’ve operated since our first job in 2013.
Our techs working in Everett are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. They know the difference between a 1950s galvanized duct system in the Ferry Street area and newer flex duct in the hillside neighborhoods, and they adjust the cleaning approach accordingly. Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, has a straightforward rule: don’t clean what should be replaced, and don’t replace what can be cleaned. We run a camera inspection before offering a recommendation, and we give you the footage.
We also offer a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. That’s Clause 5 of the Haven Standard, and it applies in Everett just as it does everywhere else we work.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Everett
Residential Duct Cleaning
Whole-home duct cleaning in Everett starts with a camera inspection of your supply and return runs. In older Everett homes, we commonly find insulation debris that has migrated into supply lines, biological growth on interior duct surfaces, and deteriorating seams where conditioned air leaks into crawl spaces. We clean under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, so the microbial material we loosen doesn’t get pushed into your living space. A typical single-family home in Everett runs $450 to $900 depending on system size and the number of returns.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Commercial properties along Broadway and in the industrial areas near the river deal with a different contaminant load: diesel particulate, cooking exhaust, and years of accumulated dust in larger trunk lines. We clean commercial duct systems in Everett with truck-mounted negative pressure equipment and document every run with the same photo record residential customers receive. Pricing depends on square footage and duct configuration, but most small to mid-size commercial jobs in Everett fall between $1,200 and $3,500.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air into your rooms, and in Everett’s damp crawl-space homes, these are often the most contaminated runs because they sit closest to the floor structure. We clean every supply run from the plenum-the main distribution box attached to your furnace-to each register, the grill where air enters the room. If we find collapsed or moisture-holding flex duct, we tell you before cleaning proceeds and give you replacement options with a written price.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to your air handler, and in Everett they collect a different profile of contamination: pet dander, alder pollen from Snohomish County’s dense stands, and dust drawn from living spaces. During the brief late-February to March window when residents crack windows before the rains resume, heavy alder pollen loads push directly into return-air systems. We clean returns under negative pressure and photograph the inside before and after so you can see the difference.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Everett includes supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler, blower motor, and plenum. Many duct cleaners skip the air handler and blower motor. We don’t, because in Everett’s damp conditions, contamination in those components re-contaminates the supply and return ducts within weeks. Full system work is the most common service we perform in Everett, and it’s the one most likely to resolve persistent dust and odor complaints.
Video Inspection
Before we touch a single duct in your Everett home, we run a camera through the system. You see what we see: the actual condition of your ductwork, not a technician’s verbal summary. This matters especially after a flood or storm, when the question isn’t “how dirty are the ducts” but “are these ducts safe to keep.” The video record becomes part of your documented job file, and we hand it over with your photo record.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Everett
We work on systems built around Honeywell filtration, Aprilaire air cleaners, and other major equipment common in Everett homes. Our trucks carry professional-grade cleaning and inspection gear from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, so the work is done with equipment you can look up independently. When we recommend a replacement component-a filter housing, a section of flex duct, a damaged register-we quote the brand and part number in writing before we order anything.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Everett Homes
- Collapsed flex duct in crawl spaces near the river. In north Everett’s waterfront neighborhoods where the water table sits high, our techs regularly find flex duct that has partially collapsed and is holding standing moisture inside the liner. This can’t be cleaned. It has to be replaced, and we photograph the condition so you can file a claim.
- Biological growth from marine humidity. Everett averages over 38 inches of rain annually and sits in a basin that keeps relative humidity above 80% through most of fall, winter, and spring. Condensation forms inside attic and crawl-space duct runs even when the HVAC system is operating normally, and that moisture feeds mold on interior duct surfaces.
- Insulation debris in supply lines. Original galvanized sheet-metal and early flex ductwork from the 1940s through 1970s was not designed with moisture management in mind. Decades of Puget Sound humidity have degraded duct insulation in many Everett homes, and that debris migrates into supply lines and blows into living spaces.
- Alder pollen loading in return systems. Snohomish County’s alder stands are among the heaviest pollen producers in western Washington. The brief window when Everett residents open windows before the rainy season resumes pushes heavy pollen loads directly into return-air systems, where they coat duct interiors and recirculate for months.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Everett, MA
Here’s what we charge in Everett, and it’s the same written price you’ll see before any work begins. A standard single-family home with one air handler and 10 to 14 registers: $450 to $900 for a full system cleaning including supply ducts, return ducts, air handler, and blower motor. Larger homes or systems with multiple returns run $900 to $1,400. Video inspection is included as part of the full system service, not billed as an add-on. If we find water-damaged flex duct that needs replacement, we quote that separately in writing before any replacement work starts, and we provide photo documentation suitable for an insurance claim.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Everett
If the duct liner is holding standing moisture, the flex has collapsed, or the insulation inside the duct is saturated, it has to be replaced-cleaning it just recirculates contamination. We make that call with a camera inspection and moisture readings, and we show you the footage before we recommend anything. If the duct is structurally sound but has surface mold or debris, cleaning under negative pressure with HEPA filtration is appropriate. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written assessment either way.
Yes. Every job includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, inside, before and after, plus moisture readings when water intrusion is involved. We’ve had Everett homeowners submit our reports and have replacement work covered as storm-related water intrusion rather than neglect. The documentation is part of your standard job file, not an extra charge. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection.
Everett sits on Puget Sound’s eastern shore in a basin that funnels marine air off Port Gardner Bay, keeping relative humidity above 80% through most of fall, winter, and spring. The city’s large stock of post-WWII pier-and-beam and crawl-space homes means ductwork runs through chronically damp sub-floor cavities that never fully dry out. That’s a baseline condition in Everett that doesn’t apply to the better-drained hillside suburbs of Mukilteo or Mill Creek. If your ducts show microbial growth, call (806) 606-6902 for a camera inspection and a written recommendation.
Run the fan on your HVAC system continuously for a few days with a clean filter, then have a camera inspection done to see how much fine particulate settled in your supply and return ducts. In Everett, late-summer wildfire smoke from eastern Washington and British Columbia funnels directly into the Snohomish River valley, and residents often seal homes and run HVAC continuously for days, which pushes smoke particulate deep into duct systems. A full system cleaning under negative pressure with HEPA filtration removes that particulate. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Yes, with the right approach. We use negative-pressure extraction and soft agitation tools designed for older galvanized sheet-metal ducts, and we inspect seams and joints before cleaning starts. In many 1950s-era Everett homes, the original ductwork has deteriorating seams that leak conditioned air into crawl spaces, and we’ll document that condition and quote any sealing or repair work separately in writing. Call (806) 606-6902 for an assessment of your specific system.
In north Everett’s waterfront neighborhoods near the Snohomish River delta, our techs pulled a half-collapsed flex duct from a crawl space where standing moisture had pooled inside the liner from the high water table and poor venting. We ran a camera inspection, documented the deterioration with photos and moisture readings, and replaced the affected run with new insulated flex while cleaning the remaining supply and return ducts under negative pressure with HEPA filtration. The homeowner submitted our report to their insurer and the replacement was covered as storm-related water intrusion, not neglect. That’s what we mean when we say documented evidence, not vacuum noise.
