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 Worth
Fort Worth’s ductwork takes a beating that most Metroplex homes never see. Our typical job in Wedgwood, Ridglea Hills, or Hulen finds attic flex duct that has been cooking at 145°F for three decades, shedding insulation fibers and pulling loose at the boot collars. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning has documented these failure patterns across thousands of Fort Worth homes since 2013, and every job ends with a photo record of what was actually inside your ducts, before and after. If you need Air Duct Cleaning from a crew that names its price in writing before a single panel comes off, call (806) 606-6902. A live person answers around the clock.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Fort Worth’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Fort Worth homeowners call us because we show them the evidence. The 365-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a slogan on a flyer. It’s a written guarantee on every invoice, stating that if the work isn’t right, we make it right. No manager approval, no fine print.
Our technicians who roll into Fort Worth neighborhoods like Polytechnic Heights, Riverside, and Wedgwood are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. That’s Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes, who leads the team, insists on it. We also publish our license number on this page because a company that hides its credentials is a company you should not let into your attic.
What separates us from the $79 coupon crews is what you receive when we leave: a documented photo record of every duct run, inside, before and after. If a duct is clean, you’ll see it. If a duct was packed with red-clay grit and insulation fibers, you’ll see that too. That’s the difference between vacuum noise and actual source removal.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Fort Worth
We clean what your system actually has: supply runs, return runs, trunk lines, boots, and plenums. No per-vent pricing, no add-on games. One written price per system, before work starts. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Fort Worth homes we service are 1960s through 1980s brick ranches with attic-mounted flex duct. That means long supply runs sagging between trusses, disconnected collars at ceiling boots, and return cavities pulling attic air through every gap. Our residential cleaning pairs negative-pressure extraction with rotary agitation tools from Rotobrush and Nikro, so debris is dislodged and pulled out, not just loosened and left to resettle.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
We clean small commercial systems across Fort Worth: medical suites near the Medical District, offices off West 7th, restaurant supply ducts in the Stockyards, and retail spaces along Hulen. Commercial returns in Fort Worth carry more red-clay fines than similar systems in Dallas because of the open plains exposure. We document that debris load before and after with the same photo record we deliver on residential jobs.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Fort Worth’s attic-run systems are where we find the worst problems: disconnected collars, collapsed flex sections, and insulation fibers pulled into the airstream. On a 1982 ranch in Wedgwood, our camera showed the supply flex had pulled completely free at the boot. The system was drawing superheated attic air directly into the master bedroom for what looked like years. We reconnected the collar, cleaned every supply run under negative pressure, and sealed the joints. Airflow jumped, and the dust in that bedroom dropped off within days.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return runs in Fort Worth are the catch basin for everything the westerly winds push through your return grilles. Homes in Polytechnic Heights and Stop Six, with pre-1950 sheet-metal trunk-and-branch systems, often have return cavities so packed with decades of red-clay dust that the blower motor starves for air and the coil freezes mid-August. We clean those trunk lines with HEPA-filtered negative pressure and agitation tools sized for the tighter clearances in older plenums.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Fort Worth Homes
- Disconnected flex duct at ceiling boots in Wedgwood and Ridglea Hills. After 30 to 40 years of thermal cycling in attics that hit 145°F, the plastic collars crack and the flex pulls free. The HVAC then pulls raw attic air, fiberglass fibers and all, straight into bedrooms. Homeowners usually notice dust and weak airflow long before anyone suspects the collar has separated.
- Red-clay dust packing return grilles in Polytechnic Heights and Stop Six. Fort Worth sits at the western edge of the Metroplex, where prevailing winds off the Cross Timbers plains carry fine red-clay particulate into returns at measurably higher concentrations than homeowners in Dallas or Arlington see. Older pre-1950 homes with original sheet-metal returns load up faster and restrict airflow sooner.
- Fiberglass insulation contamination in supply ducts. When attic flex duct breaks down from heat, the inner liner sheds and the insulation jacket tears. Those fibers end up in the airstream and out your registers. This is not a maintenance issue you can ignore; it’s a respiratory irritant moving through every room the system serves.
- Dryer vents stacked through multi-story apartment buildings. Lint accumulates in the shared vertical stack, far beyond any single unit’s trap. Building managers often blame the tenant or the last duct cleaner until our camera shows the blockage mid-stack. We clean the full run from unit to termination, and we photograph the before and after.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth, TX
A whole-system residential duct cleaning in Fort Worth typically runs $450 to $850, depending on square footage, the number of supply runs, and whether the return is a single central grille or multiple runs.

Supply-only cleaning runs $250 to $400. Return-only cleaning runs $150 to $300. Multi-unit apartment dryer vent stacks run $180 to $300 per unit, depending on stack length and access.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth
Attics in these neighborhoods routinely reach 145°F to 150°F in summer, and the original 1970s and 1980s flex duct installed in those brick ranches was not built to survive that heat for 40 years. The plastic collars at the ceiling boots crack, the flex pulls free, and the system starts pulling superheated attic air and fiberglass insulation directly into the supply side. We find at least one disconnected collar in roughly a third of the Wedgwood and Ridglea Hills ranch homes we inspect. A video inspection is the fastest way to confirm it. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule one.
Every 3 to 5 years is the honest interval for most Fort Worth ranches, especially those in south and southwest neighborhoods with long supply runs and older returns. If you’ve had roof work or insulation work done, clean sooner. If your returns sit low on walls near south-facing windows, they will load up with red-clay dust faster than in more sheltered Metroplex locations. Our photo record from each visit shows you what actually came out, so you can judge the interval from evidence rather than someone else’s schedule.
Yes. Those pre-1950 and early-1950s systems in Polytechnic Heights and Stop Six are built from heavy sheet metal, which holds up far better than modern flex but also accumulates decades of fine red-clay dust that no filter ever caught. The trunk lines are harder to access than attic flex, and the returns are often tight, but our agitation tools and HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extraction are sized for those clearances. We also photograph every accessible section and flag any rust-through or joint separation we can’t reach.
Not always, but often the blockage is not in the unit itself. Stacked dryer vents in multi-story Fort Worth apartment buildings collect lint in the shared vertical run, which no single unit’s trap can catch. Our camera inspection shows exactly where the restriction sits, and if the blockage is in the shared stack, the building manager or HOA typically needs to authorize cleaning the full run. We provide the photo evidence that makes that conversation fast and factual. For a single-unit inspection, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put it on the schedule.
Yes, but it’s only part of the fix. The red-clay dust that Fort Worth homeowners see on return grilles comes from the westerly winds off the Cross Timbers, and it concentrates in your returns because that’s where the air enters the system. Cleaning removes what’s already packed into the return cavity and trunk lines, but unless the filter is well-sealed and changed regularly, the dust will return. We show you the before and after on every return run, and we’ll tell you plainly if your filter setup is letting more particulate through than it should. Estimates are free; call (806) 606-6902.
If your Fort Worth home has attic flex duct that hasn’t been inspected in years, or returns that blow dust every time the system cycles, call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning at (806) 606-6902. You’ll get a written price before work starts, a documented photo record when the work is done, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. That’s how we’ve handled every Fort Worth job since 2013, and that’s how we’ll handle yours.
