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 Memphis
Air duct cleaning in Memphis isn’t a once-a-decade chore here. It’s a direct response to what the Mississippi River Delta does to the inside of your HVAC system. We’re CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews work Memphis neighborhoods daily, from the pier-and-beam houses of Midtown to newer construction in Germantown. The call is answered by a live person, and the price is in writing before we start. If you want to talk through what you’re seeing, call (806) 606-6902.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Memphis’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Our Air Duct Cleaning process begins with a written scope, not a sales pitch. Memphis homeowners who call us get a price before a panel is removed. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s not conditional. We’ve been doing it since 2013.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, identified by name before they arrive. When they leave, you receive a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after. Customers in Midtown, Binghampton, and East Memphis have seen the difference between a vacuumed register and an extracted, sealed, and camera-verified system.
Tomas Reyes, who leads our team, built CleanRun around evidence. Not charm. The camera shows what’s actually in your ducts, and the written guarantee tells you exactly what happens if the work isn’t right. In Memphis, that approach matters because the problems here run deeper than dust.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Memphis
Residential Duct Cleaning
A typical whole-home residential duct cleaning in Memphis runs $450 to $850, depending on square footage, number of returns, and whether the system includes a crawl space run. We clean every supply and return run, the plenum, and the registers. After extraction, we camera-inspect the full path so you can see the interior of each run, not just the vent opening.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Offices, clinics, and retail spaces in Memphis deal with the same Delta humidity as homes, plus higher occupant turnover and more frequent filter neglect. We schedule commercial work in phases to minimize disruption. Pricing is quoted per system after a site walk, typically starting around $1,200 for smaller single-zone commercial spaces.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the blower into your rooms. In Memphis homes on pier-and-beam foundations, these are the runs most likely to carry crawl-space contamination: rodent debris, collapsed insulation, and standing-water staining. We clean supply runs with negative-pressure extraction and Rotobrush agitation, then inspect every foot with a camera. Supply duct cleaning alone runs $250 to $450 depending on run count and access.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the unit, and they’re the least visually obvious part of the system. They accumulate the same particulate load as supply runs, often faster because return grilles sit in hallways where dust concentrates. Return duct cleaning in a typical two-story Memphis home runs $200 to $400.
Full System Cleaning & Video Inspection
For most Memphis homes, we recommend a full system clean because partial work leaves contamination to migrate. A full system clean including both supply and return runs, the plenum, and a complete video inspection generally runs $600 to $950 in Memphis. The video inspection is not an upsell. It’s the only way to verify what was extracted and whether the ducts need sealing or repair. Collapsed fiberglass insulation and rodent nesting don’t resolve themselves with a brush.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Memphis
The equipment matters because the contamination in Memphis ductwork resists weak extraction. We run professional-grade systems from Rotobrush, Guardsman, and Abatement Technologies. These are trade-recognized brands with specifications any homeowner can look up. That’s deliberate. Before you agree to a price, you should know exactly what’s going to be used inside your house. We don’t hide behind “professional equipment” as a vague phrase. We name it, and the photo record proves it was there.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Memphis Homes
- Mold and mildew biofilm on duct interiors. Memphis’s 70 to 85 percent summer humidity keeps the inside of ductwork damp for months. When pollen from oak and ragweed settles inside those runs, it becomes a damp, organic layer that mold colonizes quickly. Cleaning alone won’t stop regrowth. The runs need to be sealed against crawl-space air intrusion.
- Disconnected or crushed duct runs under pier-and-beam homes. Homes in Midtown, Binghampton, South Memphis, and North Memphis frequently sit over crawl spaces. Original unsealed sheet-metal runs sag, separate at the joints, and sometimes crush entirely. Clean air escaping under the house means the service was wasted. We find these failures with the camera and cut out and seal the damaged sections.
- Rodent debris and pest contamination from the crawl space. Warm, damp crawl spaces attract rodents. Their nesting material and waste end up inside supply runs that pass through the crawl space. A register brush will not remove it. A camera will not hide it. We remove it with HEPA-filtered negative pressure and sanitize the affected run.
- Collapsed interior insulation in older sheet-metal ducts. Homes built in the 1940s through 1970s often have original ductwork with internal fiberglass insulation. After decades of Delta humidity cycling, that insulation delaminates and collapses into the air stream. We cut out the failed sections, seal the seams, and document the repair with before-and-after camera footage.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Memphis, TN
You’ll get a written price before any work starts. Every time. That’s not a marketing phrase; it’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and we’re bound by it.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Memphis
Because the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America has repeatedly ranked Memphis among the worst Allergy Capitals in the country. The Mississippi River Delta produces heavy oak, grass, and ragweed pollen loads. Combined with persistent high humidity, that pollen settles in ductwork, stays damp, and becomes a surface where mold grows. Cleaning those ducts removes a measurable respiratory irritant from the air you breathe every night. It’s not the same job in Phoenix. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Collapsed fiberglass insulation, rodent nesting material, separated sheet-metal joints, and standing-water staining. On a 1960s Midtown home with pier-and-beam construction, our crew pulled an access panel and found all four. We ran negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration and Rotobrush agitation, cut out the collapsed sections, sealed the separated joints, and then documented the repaired airflow with a camera inspection before reinstalling the registers. That’s the difference between a documented record and a vacuum noise.
No. If the ducts are pulling air from a damp crawl space through separated joints, the contamination will return within months. Cleaning removes what’s there. Sealing prevents what comes next. We quote the sealing work directly from the camera findings, with a written price before we start. If another company tells you cleaning alone will solve it, ask them what they’ll do when the mold returns. We’ll give you a written second opinion on their estimate.
In most cases, yes. We run extraction and agitation tools through the register openings and the plenum access. The video inspection camera reaches the runs without requiring full crawl space entry. In some pier-and-beam homes with extremely low clearance, partial access is unavoidable. We’ll tell you exactly what’s accessible and what’s not before work starts, in writing, under Haven Standard Clause 1.
The issue isn’t whether the AC is running. It’s what happens between cycles. Memphis air stays humid enough that the inside surfaces of ductwork never fully dry. The cooling cycle itself also creates condensation at the plenum and along the first several feet of supply runs. That moisture, repeated daily for months, builds a biofilm layer inside the ducts. Cleaning removes it once. Sealing and controlling crawl-space moisture prevent it from rebuilding. Call (806) 606-6902 to talk through what your system needs.
