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 Maple Heights
Air duct cleaning in Maple Heights typically runs $380-$680 for a full system on a standard 1,200-1,800 sq ft post-war home, and the job is done in one scheduled visit. That price is a written number delivered before work starts, not an estimate that gets revised once the truck is in your driveway. You can reach us directly at (806) 606-6902 for a number that matches your floor plan.
We’re not new to Maple Heights. We know the Cape Cods off Dunham Road, the ranches near Libby, the small colonials stacked along Broadway and Lee. More important, we know what’s inside their walls: original galvanized ductwork that has been moving air for 60 to 80 years, much of it never professionally cleaned. You deserve a crew that can show you what’s in there before asking you to pay to remove it. Our Air Duct Cleaning team works this way on every job in Maple Heights.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Maple Heights’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Tomas Reyes founded CleanRun in 2013 around a rule that still drives everything we do in Maple Heights: no work begins until you’ve read a written price. Not a ballpark, not a range with fine print. A number. Haven Standard Clause 1 doesn’t allow bait-and-switch. It’s the first thing a Maple Heights homeowner gets from us, and it’s the reason our 52,000-plus jobs across the region all carry the same trail of documentation.
Every Maple Heights visit ends the same way: a photo record of every duct run, before and after, delivered to you as part of the standard job file. If a technician claims the ducts are clean, there’s a photo proving it. If a plenum was rusted, there’s a photo showing the rust before we touched it. That’s not marketing language. It’s just how we’ve worked since the first job in 2013.
Scheduling is coordinated through our Cleveland office, with crews dispatched locally to Maple Heights on a routed schedule. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. Every call to (806) 606-6902 is answered by a person, not a phone tree.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Maple Heights
Residential Duct Cleaning
Post-war homes in Maple Heights demand more than a quick vacuum pass. Our residential crews in Maple Heights perform full source-removal cleaning: every supply and return run is agitated, extracted under negative pressure, and photographed. We don’t skip the basement trunk, which in a 1954 Cape Cod often runs inches above the slab and holds decades of dust, pet hair, and construction debris.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Maple Heights has its share of commercial spaces along Broadway and Rockside Road: medical offices, daycares, small storefronts and churches that have never had their ductwork opened. Commercial cleaning follows the same written-price rule as residential. We’ll inspect the system, give you a line-item scope, and never start a job without sign-off. Equipment is professional-grade, including Abatement Technologies and Rotobrush units sized for larger systems.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your furnace to every register. In Maple Heights homes with original 1947-1965 sheet-metal trunks, supply runs collect fine particulate that standard consumer vacuums can’t touch. We clean each supply run individually, using agitation tools with extended dwell time on the oversized trunks left behind by old gravity-furnace conversions. This is the scope that separates a $99 special from work that actually changes your air.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the furnace. They also pull in dust from every room, and in Maple Heights basements with clay-soil moisture issues, that dust can bind into a film that sticks rather than blows out. Our crews see this constantly. Return cleaning includes camera inspection of basement runs, where crushed or partially collapsed sections are common on homes that had 1970s-era furnace retrofits.
Full System Cleaning
A full system clean addresses the plenum, both trunk lines, every branch run, and the registers. In Maple Heights, this is the option we recommend for any home that has never been professionally cleaned or that still has its original gravity-furnace-era trunk. We finish with a HEPA-filtered negative-pressure pass and leave the system balanced, with airflow measured at the registers before we pack up.
Video Inspection
Before we clean, we film. After we clean, we film. You get the footage. For Maple Heights homeowners, this matters because the camera shows what’s actually inside a 70-year-old trunk: rust scale, debris buildup, crushed sections, and the occasional long-forgotten child’s toy. You decide what gets cleaned based on what you see, not what we tell you.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Maple Heights
We service and clean systems built around Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration components, as well as equipment from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman. If your Maple Heights home has a Honeywell electronic air cleaner or an Aprilaire media cabinet, our technicians know the internals and can clean around them without damaging the gaskets or bypassing the filter frame. We stock common replacement filters and access panels locally so a cleaning doesn’t turn into a parts hunt. That means a faster job and less time with your system open.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Maple Heights Homes
In Maple Heights specifically, we see a cluster of problems tied to the housing stock and the lake-effect climate. Here’s what our crews encounter on a weekly basis:
- Crushed return runs under basement slabs: During the 1970s-80s octopus-furnace removals, many original return ducts under concrete slabs were never properly replaced. The slab settles, the duct flattens, and airflow chokes. Standard cleaning won’t fix it. Sealing or section replacement is the real cure.
- Makeshift plenums from retrofit jobs: When gravity furnaces were swapped for forced-air units, some contractors built transition plenums out of whatever sheet metal was lying around. We find loose seams, air gaps, and debris-trapping geometry that pulls basement air through the system year-round.
- Extended dwell time needed on original galvanized trunks: A 1950s supply trunk in Maple Heights has an interior surface covered in decades of fine particulate baked on by repeated condensation cycles. Quick-pass cleaning redistributes it. We run agitation tools and HEPA extraction with extended dwell time to actually dislodge and remove it.
- Sagging flex-duct runs from 1980s additions: When homeowners finished basements or added rooms, some flex duct was run without proper support. That sag collects debris mid-run, and the accumulated weight worsens the sag. Camera inspection shows the problem clearly; most homeowners don’t realize it’s there until they see the footage.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Maple Heights, OH
Let’s put numbers on the table. A full-system residential duct cleaning in Maple Heights runs $380-$680 depending on square footage, number of runs, and whether the home has a second floor with separate trunk lines. Single-level ranches fall toward the lower end; two-story colonials or homes with finished basements and extended flex runs fall higher. Commercial spaces in Maple Heights typically run $0.18-$0.32 per square foot, with a $500 minimum. Video inspection is $95 when booked as a standalone service, and it’s included at no extra cost with any full-system cleaning.
What affects cost in Maple Heights specifically: whether the original gravity-era trunks are still in place (they require extra dwell time), whether the plenum needs resealing after cleaning, and whether any crushed runs under the slab need repair. We’ll give you a written line-item scope before any work starts, and we’ll honor that price. No per-vent add-ons, no surprise sealing charges. Call (806) 606-6902 for a quote matched to your floor plan.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Maple Heights
Maple Heights homes built between 1947 and 1965 usually have original galvanized trunks that were never replaced when forced-air furnaces arrived in the 1970s and 80s. Those trunks hold 50-plus years of fine particulate that resists a quick single-pass cleaning. Effective removal takes extended negative-pressure dwell time and mechanical agitation, followed by sealing of loose plenum connections and any crushed runs found during camera inspection. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk you through what your specific floor plan likely requires.
We find accumulated fine dust packed into the seams and corners of the original oversized trunks, rust scale from decades of condensation, pet hair, construction debris from old renovations, and in many homes, sections of return duct crushed by slab settling or replaced with sagging flex during a 1970s furnace retrofit. We document each finding with camera footage before and after, so you see exactly what was removed and what remains.
Lake Erie’s moisture saturates the air in Maple Heights during spring and summer, and many basements sit on wet clay soil that raises interior humidity year-round. That condensation forms on the inside of cold basement duct runs, turning settled dust into a damp film that sticks to metal. A cleaning without HEPA filtration and adequate dwell time can simply redistribute that microbial material instead of removing it. We run HEPA-filtered extraction and let the negative pressure do its work, rather than racing through.
Yes, and we do it often in Maple Heights. The typical 1970s forced-air conversion left the home with a new furnace but the old gravity-era trunks, often joined by a makeshift transition plenum. We clean the entire system as it exists today, but part of the job is identifying where that old retrofit created air leaks or debris traps. If the plenum is loose, we’ll seal it. If a flex run is crushed or sagging, we’ll flag it and quote the repair separately. The cleaning and the repair are always priced before work starts.
Most do. The original sheet-metal trunk and branch joints from the 1950s were not designed to be airtight, and seventy years of expansion, condensation, and settling have opened gaps. After we clean, we inspect those seams and offer sealing with a duct sealant designed for metal systems, not duct tape. A sealed system holds the clean longer and stops basement air from being pulled into your supply stream. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job: if it’s not right, we make it right.
