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, WA typically runs $380-$720 for a full single-family home, with most jobs completed in 4-7 hours. If you live in an older crawl-space home near the Snohomish River delta, expect the higher end of that range and possibly more: saturated or collapsed flex duct can’t be cleaned, it has to be replaced. We serve every Everett neighborhood, from Delta and Riverside up through Silver Lake and Pinehurst, with crews dispatched locally from our Seattle office. Call (806) 606-6902 and you’ll get a written price before any work starts, not a phone estimate that changes when the van pulls up.
What makes Everett different from the rest of the metro isn’t just the rain. It’s the water table. Homes built between the 1940s and 1970s for Boeing and naval yard workers sit on pier-and-beam or crawl-space foundations where ductwork runs inches above chronically damp soil. That changes what cleaning means here, and it changes when cleaning isn’t enough. We’ll show you the difference on camera before we touch a single register.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Everett’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
CleanRun has cleaned and repaired duct systems across Everett since 2013, and our crews know the specific failure patterns in this city’s housing stock: rusted galvanized seams in Riverside bungalows, insulation debris migrated into supply lines in Cascade View split-levels, and saturated flex duct under Delta-area ramblers. That local familiarity means we don’t treat every job as a generic vacuum-and-go. We inspect first, then quote, then photograph everything we do.
Every Air Duct Cleaning job includes a documented photo record: the inside of every duct run, before and after, delivered to you as part of the standard job file. That’s not a premium add-on. It’s how we’ve worked since our first job in 2013, and it’s the reason Everett homeowners use us when they need to prove to an insurer that a flood damaged the system beyond repair. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in writing. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. No manager approval required.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before they arrive. They operate under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, with our license number published on every written quote, not buried in a footer. We answer the phone with a live person, not a call tree.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Everett
Most Everett homes need a combination of services rather than a single pass-through. Here’s what we handle most often in this city, and what each one actually involves.
Residential Duct Cleaning
A full residential cleaning in Everett covers every supply and return run, the plenum (the box where ducts meet the furnace), and each register. In older crawl-space homes, we typically find 1-3 inches of compacted dust, pet dander, and construction debris, often complicated by moisture-driven microbial growth near the crawl-space entry points. We use negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, which means the contaminants we dislodge leave the house through our equipment, not back into your living room.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Everett’s commercial stock ranges from waterfront offices near Port Gardner to retail along Evergreen Way and Broadway. These systems often run longer hours with higher particulate loads, and many haven’t been opened since the building was constructed. We provide a written scope of work before any equipment goes through the door, and the photo record serves as compliance documentation for property managers and owners.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the furnace to your rooms. In Everett’s 1940s-1970s housing, supply runs are frequently original galvanized sheet metal with rust at the seams, or early flex duct that has degraded. Cleaning the supply side means removing debris that has accumulated over decades, but it also means checking for seam separation and liner failure. Cleaning a split seam doesn’t fix the leak. We document what we find and give you a written recommendation before any repair decision.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air from your home back to the furnace. In Everett, return-air systems are the first place we find alder pollen, wildfire smoke residue, and household dust compacted into the interior surfaces. Snohomish County’s dense alder stands produce some of the heaviest pollen loads in western Washington, and the late-February to March window when residents crack windows pushes that pollen directly into return systems. A thorough return-side cleaning reduces the recirculated allergen load in your air stream.
We also provide Video Inspection before and after every job, and Full System Cleaning that treats the supply side, return side, plenum, and registers as one integrated system rather than separate parts. For Everett homeowners, video inspection is not optional. It’s the difference between knowing the inside of your ducts was cleaned and knowing whether the crawl-space flex run under the northeast corner of the house is holding water. Those are different problems with different prices and different fixes.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Everett
We service and clean duct systems connected to all major furnace and air-quality equipment in Everett homes, including systems paired with Honeywell filtration, Aprilaire whole-home media cabinets, and Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment. Our crews are familiar with the integrations between these brands and your duct configuration, which matters when we’re pricing a full-system job that includes filter housing or media replacement.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Everett Homes
- Saturated flex duct in crawl spaces near the Snohomish River delta. The high water table under north Everett keeps soil damp year-round. Flex duct that sits in that environment can collapse and hold standing water inside the liner. Cleaning this duct is pointless; it must be replaced. We find this failure mode far more often in Delta and Riverside than in the better-drained hillside neighborhoods of Mukilteo or Mill Creek.
- Rusted galvanized seams in supply lines. Ductwork installed in the 1950s and 1960s was not designed for Puget Sound humidity. Condensation forms inside crawl-space duct runs even when the HVAC is operating normally. Over decades, that moisture rusts the seams and allows crawl-space air to enter the supply stream.
- Insulation debris inside supply lines. In older crawl-space homes, original duct insulation deteriorates and migrates into the air stream. Homeowners often mistake this for normal dust. It isn’t, and it won’t clear out with a standard vacuum pass. It requires full removal and sealing.
- Wildfire smoke residue buildup during late-summer events. When eastern Washington and British Columbia smoke funnels into the Snohomish River valley, Everett residents seal their homes and run HVAC continuously for days. Fine particulate loads into the duct system are significant. If the system isn’t cleaned after a smoke event, that residue recirculates for months.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Everett, WA
Here are honest whole-system ranges for Everett’s market, not per-vent teaser prices. A standard single-family residential cleaning runs $380-$720 depending on home size, duct count, and accessibility. Homes with crawl-space runs that require extra access or contain saturated flex duct will run higher, because replacement labor and materials are not a cleaning line item. A commercial system depends on square footage and run length, typically $850-$2,400. Video inspection is included with every cleaning job at no additional charge. If your ducts need replacement after a flood or moisture failure, we provide a written scope and the photo documentation your insurer will ask for. The price we quote is the price you pay. Haven Standard Clause 1: written price before any work starts, every time, no exceptions.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Everett
If water entered your crawl space and your flex duct feels soft, collapsed, or holds visible moisture inside the liner, it needs replacement, not cleaning. We determine this with a video inspection: the camera shows whether the inner liner has separated, whether standing water is present, and whether mold colonies have formed. Cleaning saturated ductwork without addressing the moisture will result in regrowth within weeks. Our photo and video record becomes your insurer’s evidence. If the damage meets replacement criteria under NADCA standards, we document it with moisture readings and liner footage so your claim is approved for replacement rather than a cheaper clean-and-dry attempt. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll inspect before anything else happens.
Because your home sits on the Snohomish River delta’s high water table and your friend’s doesn’t. North Everett’s crawl spaces stay damp through most of the year, which means condensation forms inside duct runs even when your furnace is running normally. That moisture supports biological growth and accelerates corrosion of galvanized seams. Mukilteo’s hillside drainage keeps crawl spaces drier, so their systems don’t accumulate the same contamination load. Everett homes also sit directly in the smoke path when eastern Washington wildfires push particulates down the Snohomish valley. Two loading cycles per year: moisture-driven biological matter through the wet season, fine particulate during smoke events. That’s a heavier schedule than a hillside home to the west.
Ask whether they use negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, and whether they photograph every run before and after. If they won’t show you the inside of your ducts on camera before they start, walk away. Ask whether they inspect for standing moisture in crawl-space flex runs before they agree to clean, because cleaning moldy, saturated flex duct without addressing the moisture source aerosolizes spores into the home. Ask whether their price is written and final before work begins. If the answer is anything other than yes, you’re dealing with a company that sells a visit first and a price second. Our method is documented and the photo record is yours to keep.
Yes. Your HVAC system pulls outdoor air through return leaks, door gaps, and the combustion air intake, and runs it through the blower and into the supply ducts. During heavy smoke events, fine particulate from the Snohomish River valley accumulates on duct interiors and in your filter. If the filter is not rated for fine particulate or hasn’t been changed, smoke residue coats the return side and recirculates for months after the outdoor air clears. A post-smoke-season cleaning removes the residue. If you have a Honeywell or Aprilaire media cabinet, we check the filter condition as part of the job.
No. Roof-mounted dryer vents on two-story Everett homes require ladder work and roof access, which is a separate service from HVAC duct cleaning. We do not include it as a courtesy add-on, and we don’t recommend hiring someone who will clean your dryer vent as a “free bonus” while cleaning your ducts. Roof work has its own safety requirements and should be done by someone trained for it. We’ll tell you if your dryer vent needs attention during our inspection, and we’ll give you an honest recommendation for a roof-vent specialist if we can. We do not do driveway pressure-sales tactics, and we don’t add services to your invoice without a written agreement first.
