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 Fort Myers
If you’re searching for air duct cleaning in Fort Myers, here’s the honest answer: a full residential system cleaning typically runs $450-$850 for a single-family home in Lee County, and the job takes 3-5 hours when done properly. Most homes in Fort Myers need more than a surface vacuum pass, especially after Hurricane Ian and our long humid summers. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning serves Fort Myers with written pricing before any work starts and a photo record of every duct run when we leave. Call (806) 606-6902 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Fort Myers’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Since 2013, CleanRun has cleaned ducts in more than 52,000 homes. Every one of those jobs carried a written price before the first panel came off, and every one ended with a documented photo record of the interior of each duct run. That practice matters in Fort Myers because this market has a specific problem: storm surge from Hurricane Ian submerged air handlers and return chases in thousands of homes, and the damage isn’t always visible from the outside. Homeowners who skipped post-storm video inspection ended up breathing mold spores distributed through their supply registers the moment power returned. We’ve seen it repeatedly in neighborhoods from Dean Park to McGregor Boulevard to gated communities east of I-75.
Tomas Reyes, owner at CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, built the company around one principle: show the customer what’s actually inside their ducts before asking them to believe it. That’s why our crews photograph before and after every run, every time. Fort Myers residents doing their research don’t need a sales pitch. They need a camera pushed through their return chase and a written scope of work. That’s what we hand them.
We work throughout Fort Myers regularly. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, but our crews serve Fort Myers locally, not as a fly-in operation. When you book a cleaning, a background-checked, uniformed technician arrives at your home with equipment you can look up: Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. No unmarked van. No mystery tools. No per-vent pricing games.
Key Takeaways
- Full residential duct cleaning in Fort Myers runs $450-$850 total, not per vent
- Hurricane Ian storm surge created mold reservoirs in under-slab returns and low-mounted air handlers that standard cleaning alone won’t address
- Snowbird homes left at 82-85°F all summer actively incubate mold inside ducts every year
- CleanRun photographs every duct run before and after, included as standard on every job
- 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right, we make it right, in writing
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Fort Myers
Residential Duct Cleaning
A typical single-family home in Fort Myers runs $450-$850 depending on the number of duct runs, the type of ductwork, and the level of contamination present. Older CBS homes built in the 1970s through 1990s commonly have flex ductwork routed through attics that exceed 130°F in summer. The liner breaks down, insulation wrap delaminates, and moisture collects inside. Our residential cleaning includes source removal agitation on every register, negative-pressure extraction, and photos of each run.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Fort Myers commercial work spans medical offices off Summerlin Road, restaurants downtown near First Street, and property management portfolios in Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres. Commercial pricing runs $800-$2,500+ depending on square footage and the number of air handlers. We coordinate after-hours work so your business doesn’t lose a day of operation. Every commercial job receives the same written price and photo record as residential.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your air handler to each room. In Fort Myers, supply runs are often where we find the most significant mold growth, particularly in the trunk line closest to the coil. Condensation forms there year-round because AC systems run 10-11 months annually. Supply duct cleaning for a typical 3-bedroom home runs $200-$400 as part of a full system clean. We always recommend video inspection first to confirm what’s actually growing before quoting the work.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts draw air back to the air handler. In Fort Myers post-Ian homes, return chases below slab were frequently submerged in storm surge, which is a different problem than normal dust accumulation. Cleaning a contaminated return requires HEPA-filtered negative pressure and source removal, not just brushing. Return cleaning alone runs $150-$350 for most homes. If inspection shows flood silt or mold in the return chase, sealing the chase after cleaning is usually required to prevent recontamination.
Full System Cleaning
A full system clean includes supply runs, return runs, the plenum, the air handler housing, and the blower assembly, plus sanitizing. In Fort Myers, full system cleaning runs $600-$1,100 for a home up to 3,000 square feet. If your house sat vacant through a summer with the thermostat at 82-85°F, expect a full system clean, not a spot treatment. The mold doesn’t stop at the first elbow. It colonizes throughout the interior surface of the flex liner.
Video Inspection
Video inspection is the front-line service in Fort Myers after Ian. For $99-$199, we push a camera through your duct runs and show you exactly what’s there. This is not an upsell. It’s the only honest way to determine whether you need cleaning, sealing, or both. After a storm surge event, homes that looked structurally intact had returns holding flood silt and black mold blooms. The owner doesn’t know because the register looks clean from the outside. The camera tells a different story.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Fort Myers
We maintain and clean systems built around equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, among others. Fort Myers homes commonly run Honeywell or Aprilaire air purifiers integrated into the air handler, and those require specific cleaning protocols. We’re familiar with the filter media and UV bulbs these units use. If you have a Guardsman sanitizing system installed after Ian, we’ll clean and verify it as part of a full system service. We stock common replacement filters and UV bulbs locally so Fort Myers customers aren’t waiting on a part shipped from out of state.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Fort Myers Homes
- Post-Ian mold reservoirs in under-slab return chases: Thousands of Fort Myers homes had storm surge fill their slab return paths. The water receded, but silt and microbial growth remained, and the owner never knew until the AC kicked back on. We find this in Beachview, Sunset Park, and along the Caloosahatchee River corridor regularly.
- Snowbird summer mold incubation: Homes left vacant from May through October with thermostats set to 82-85°F become mold incubators. Duct interiors stay warm, dark, and damp for months. When owners return in November, the air smells musty and a full system cleaning reveals far more contamination than they expected.
- Crushed or disconnected flex ducts in attics: Florida attics routinely hit 130°F. Original flex ductwork from the 1980s and 1990s collapses, disconnects at the collar, or tears open. Some airflow continues so the room still cools, but attic air is being pulled directly into the supply register. Camera inspection finds this all the time.
- Shared duct chases in condo communities: Gated villa communities and mid-rise condos along the Caloosahatchee share common return chases. Cleaning one unit without checking the upstream section means mold recolonizes within weeks because the source is in a neighbor’s or common-area portion. This is uniquely common in Fort Myers’s retirement-oriented housing stock.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Myers
The only way to know is video inspection. Visually, a register looks fine from above, but the return chase below it may still be holding flood silt and mold. We push a camera through your duct runs and photograph what’s there. If your home was in a storm surge zone, anywhere near the Caloosahatchee River or the Gulf coast of Fort Myers, and your air handler is low-mounted or your returns are under-slab, get the inspection. It’s $99-$199 and it answers the question definitively. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
Sealing after cleaning is normal in Fort Myers because of our humidity, and it is often the actual fix. Cleaning removes existing mold and debris, but if there are air gaps at duct collars or cracks in the flex liner, humid attic air re-enters immediately and mold returns within months. We use mastic to seal joints and collars and we photograph that work as part of your record. In post-Ian homes, sealing the return chase is often the only thing that prevents recontamination. If a company recommends sealing after showing you the exact gap on camera, that’s legitimate. If they recommend sealing without showing you anything, ask for the footage.
Yes, generally. Homes left vacant from June through October with the thermostat set high create the exact conditions mold needs: warm, dark, and humid. Duct interiors stay above 80°F with relative humidity that follows the outdoor air, which in Fort Myers sits near or above 80% every summer morning. Mold colonizes the liner. A full system cleaning when you return in November is often the minimum. Some homeowners add a Guardsman sanitizing treatment during the summer monsoon months. Get an inspection and full system clean before you turn the AC back down to 74. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate.
Florida does not have a statewide statute that specifically mandates duct cleaning after flooding, but Fort Myers building officials and the Lee County Health Department both recommend post-flood duct inspection and cleaning as part of safe re-occupancy. The practical standard we follow is documented source removal with HEPA-filtered negative pressure and post-cleaning photo evidence of every run. That’s the standard that holds up if you’re filing an insurance claim or a FEMA reimbursement request. We provide the documentation you need for those claims as part of every job.
We clean individual units in condo buildings and we also handle common-area duct systems if the HOA hires us directly. For a single unit, we need access to the air handler, which is sometimes in a mechanical room controlled by the building. We coordinate with property management. If your HOA has contracted us for common-area cleaning, individual unit cleaning becomes simpler because the upstream source in the shared chase has already been addressed. If you’re in a building near the river that flooded during Ian, start with a video inspection of your unit’s runs. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll work out the access logistics with your building.
Yes. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning is independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival.
