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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Madison Heights
If you own a ranch home in Madison Heights built between 1950 and 1970, the air moving through your ductwork is almost certainly carrying more than it should. Our crews work these neighborhoods weekly, and we know exactly what hides inside those original galvanized systems. No other cleaner in the area photographs every duct run before and after the work, then hands you the record. If you want a written price before anyone touches a register, call us at (806) 606-6902. We serve every block of Madison Heights, from the residential streets off Dequindre to the condos along John R Road.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Madison Heights’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We started documenting ductwork with photos in 2013, long before it became a talking point. More than 52,000 homes later, the practice hasn’t changed. Every Madison Heights job includes a Documented Photo Record of every supply and return run, photographed before and after cleaning, delivered to you as a standard part of the work record. There’s no guessing whether the ducts were actually cleaned. You’ll see the inside of each run on camera.
Our relationship with Madison Heights customers runs deeper than a single visit. Homeowners here ask pointed questions because they’ve seen what aging duct systems look like. We answer with written scope, written pricing, and a written warranty. Haven Standard Clause 1 governs every job: a written price before any work starts, no exceptions. Clause 3 means background-checked, uniformed technicians identified by name before arrival. When we dispatch to Madison Heights, the crew arrives with equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, plus a camera that records everything.
Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, has built the company around a simple principle: show the customer what was found, then do the work, then show what changed. That evidence-first approach matters in Madison Heights, where the housing stock presents a specific and recurring set of problems that newer suburbs don’t share.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Madison Heights

Residential Duct Cleaning
Madison Heights ranches, most between 900 and 1,400 square feet, have compact duct systems with a single central cold-air return. That layout accelerates debris accumulation and creates negative pressure that pulls basement air into supply runs. Our full source removal for a typical Madison Heights ranch costs between $420 and $680, depending on the number of runs and the condition of the registers. We clean supply and return sides, photograph every run, and seal the register collars to NADCA standards so the debris doesn’t return within days.

Commercial Duct Cleaning
The commercial corridors along John R Road and the industrial zones near I-75 and I-696 require a different approach. Our commercial teams handle office spaces, retail storefronts, and light industrial facilities throughout Madison Heights, with pricing based on square footage and system complexity. We provide the same written price and documented photo record, scaled to the size of the job. If you manage a property along John R or Stephenson Highway, we’ll walk the system first and put a number in writing before any equipment comes off the truck.

Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Madison Heights ranches are where we find the most startling debris loads. The original 1950s and 60s boot connections at the register collars were rarely caulked at installation. The gaps between the boot and the register collar draw basement dust, insulation fibers, and occasional rodent nesting material directly into living-space air every time the furnace fires. We use negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration and agitation tools to remove that accumulated material at the source, not just push it further down the line.

Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts in single-return Madison Heights homes act as the system’s vacuum intake. They pull air from the basement, where furnaces sit in unconditioned space, often near the dryer, the water heater, and stored items. The return side collects more debris per linear foot than the supply side in most ranches we service. A return-only cleaning in Madison Heights typically runs $180 to $320. We recommend return cleaning whenever the supply side is done, because cleaning only half the system leaves the other half ready to redistribute particles within a few furnace cycles.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Madison Heights
We maintain and clean systems built around equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman, among others. These names appear throughout Madison Heights’s postwar housing stock, particularly Aprilaire media filters and Honeywell thermostats paired with original furnace replacements from the 1990s and 2000s. Our crews are trained on these systems and understand how their filtration interfaces with the existing duct runs. When a Madison Heights homeowner needs a filter housing inspected or replaced during a cleaning, we bring the common sizes on the truck. That saves a second visit and keeps the work moving during furnace season.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Madison Heights Homes

- Unsealed register collars on original 1950s galvanized boots. The gaps between the boot and the register collar were never caulked or sealed at installation. In the dense ranch neighborhoods between Dequindre and John R, these gaps quietly draw decades of basement dust, insulation fibers, and rodent nesting material into supply runs every time the furnace fires.
- Negative pressure pulling basement air into living spaces. Single-return systems in compact ranches create a vacuum that draws air from the basement, including dust from unfinished floors, dryer lint, and insulation particles. This condition is more pronounced in Madison Heights than in newer construction with dedicated return runs on each floor.
- Summer humidity promoting mold inside uninsulated supply ducts. Southeast Michigan’s humid summers, combined with unconditioned basements, create condensation inside older uninsulated supply runs. Technicians here see mold colonization in supply ducts more often than in drier inland markets. Our Video Inspection service documents this clearly before any cleaning begins.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in multi-unit conversions. Condos and converted homes along John R Road often share a dryer vent stack through multiple floors. Incomplete lint pathway clearing in one unit affects the entire stack. We trace and document the full pathway before cleaning, so the job is done once and done right.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Madison Heights

Madison Heights ranches from the 1950s and 60s were built with original single-return galvanized ductwork that was never designed for modern filtration, and the register collars were rarely sealed at installation. Newer Troy homes have dedicated return runs, sealed connections, and tighter building envelopes. In Madison Heights, the unsealed gaps between the boot and the register collar pull basement dust, insulation fibers, and rodent nesting material into the supply runs every time the furnace cycles. That’s why a 1,100 square foot Madison Heights ranch often produces a dirtier duct cleaning job than a 2,000 square foot Troy colonial. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate, and we’ll show you exactly what’s inside your runs before and after.
No, a shared dryer vent stack cannot be properly cleaned by addressing only one unit. Lint accumulates along the full pathway, and a partial cleaning leaves the upper or lower sections blocked, which means your unit’s airflow remains restricted. We clean the entire shared stack, document the before and after with photos, and provide a written record for your condo association if needed. For Madison Heights condos along John R Road, expect $180 to $400 depending on stack height and access. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule a stack-wide inspection.
Look at your return vents. If you have only one large return grille, typically in a hallway or living room wall, your home likely has a single-return system. Original 1950s and 60s Madison Heights ranches were almost universally built this way. If you see galvanized steel registers with visible gaps at the floor or wall connection, or if the return grille pulls air from a basement cavity, the system is original and almost certainly unsealed. Our Video Inspection service documents the inside of every run, so you’ll know exactly what you’re working with before any cleaning begins.
Yes, homes in Madison Heights near the I-75 and I-696 corridors accumulate fine particulate faster than homes set farther back from the freeways. Vehicle emissions, brake dust, and road particulate infiltrate through unsealed duct gaps and the building envelope. The light industrial corridors along John R Road add another layer of airborne particulate. In our experience, Madison Heights homes within a half mile of the freeways need duct cleaning every 3 to 4 years, versus every 5 to 7 years for homes farther east toward Dequindre. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote based on your home’s exact location and system condition.
Yes. Madison Heights ranches have compact lots, often with narrow side yards and fenced perimeters. Our equipment fits through standard basement access and residential doorways. We don’t need to park a large truck in your yard or remove fencing. The negative-pressure extraction unit and Rotobrush tools are designed for confined basement mechanical rooms. We access the furnace, the return drop, and each register from inside the home. Your yard stays untouched. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate and a written plan for your specific home layout.
