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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Radcliff’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Radcliff is not a typical housing market. The constant Fort Knox PCS rotation means somewhere around half the single-family homes here are rentals, and rental ducts get cleaned almost never. We know that because we’ve pulled registers in 1970s split-levels and found debris from multiple military families matted inside original sheet-metal ductwork. That’s not a guess. That’s what the camera showed before we touched anything.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, has built the company around one practice since our first job in 2013: show the customer what’s inside their ducts before asking them to pay for cleaning. The Documented Photo Record isn’t an add-on. It’s the standard deliverable on every Radcliff job.
Homeowners here tend to research before calling. That’s why we publish our license number on the page rather than burying it in a footer, and why every estimate includes a written scope of work, not a verbal ballpark. If you’ve gotten another written estimate, bring it. We’ll put our number next to it in writing, at no cost, under our Free Second Opinion policy.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Radcliff
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Radcliff homes are 1960s-1980s ranch and split-level tract builds, originally constructed fast to house Fort Knox personnel and civilian contractors. Many still have their original sheet-metal ducts. We clean those systems with negative-pressure extraction: the blower pulls a vacuum on the duct run while agitation tools knock debris loose from the interior walls, so it’s removed at the source rather than blown into your living space. Every run gets photographed before and after.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Offices and storefronts along North Dixie Highway deal with the same Hardin County pollen load as homes, plus constant door traffic pulling road dust into the return side. We schedule commercial work in Radcliff around business hours and deliver the same written price and photo record we provide on residential jobs. No exceptions.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Radcliff ranch homes often develop a caked layer of tree pollen and fine dust that restricts airflow and strains the blower motor. We’ve seen systems where the supply register airflow was reduced by more than half from buildup alone. After cleaning, we run a camera through the entire supply run to the air handler so you can see the metal, not just hear that a machine ran.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air from your living space back to the air handler. In rural Radcliff properties fronting unpaved Hardin County roads, they also pull in whatever you track through the door and whatever the wind carries off the gravel. Return-side buildup accelerates contamination of the blower and evaporator coil. We clean return runs separately and document them independently from the supply side.
Full System Cleaning and Video Inspection
A full system cleaning covers supply and return ducts, the plenum, the air handler cabinet, and the blower assembly. Video inspection before cleaning identifies blockages, moisture damage, and whether the ductwork is even intact. After cleaning, a second camera pass confirms the result. You get the footage. If something wasn’t done right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise says we make it right. In writing, on every job.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Radcliff
Our crews run Rotobrush and Nikro agitation and extraction equipment, and we specify Honeywell filtration components where the job calls for improved air quality. These aren’t proprietary tools. You can look them up independently before agreeing to a price. For Radcliff customers, we keep common replacement registers, filters, and access-panel hardware on our trucks so a cleaning doesn’t turn into a second appointment for a missing part. If your system uses an Aprilaire or Guardsman filter housing, we’ll note the condition and recommend replacement based on what we find, not a calendar.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Radcliff Homes
- Layered debris in rental ductwork: Absentee landlords around Fort Knox rarely schedule cleaning between tenants. We’ve documented debris from four or five different military households stacked inside a single duct run, some of it dating back decades.
- Pollen and road dust loading on rural properties: Homes near unpaved Hardin County roads collect fine dust that works its way through the return side and settles in supply runs. This accelerates filter clogging and forces the blower to work harder.
- Mold growth from Ohio Valley humidity: Radcliff’s humid climate keeps duct interiors damp for long stretches. In systems that haven’t been cleaned in years, that humidity stress leads to dust-mite colonization and mold development, especially in rental homes left vacant between PCS assignments.
- Blower motor strain from restricted airflow: Original sheet-metal ducts with decades of buildup restrict airflow and force the blower motor to run hotter and longer. We check the blower and air handler cabinet on every full system cleaning in Radcliff.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Radcliff, KY
A typical single-family home in Radcliff runs $385-$710 for a full system cleaning, depending on the number of duct runs, whether the home has accessible ductwork, and how hardened the buildup is. A single-level ranch with 8-12 runs will sit at the lower end. A two-story or split-level with a full basement and decades of layered debris will sit at the higher end. Commercial pricing depends on square footage and run count, but every commercial quote gets the same written scope before work starts.
We do not price per vent. We price per system, in writing, before a single panel comes off. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires it. If another company quoted you $79 for the whole house, read the fine print. Then call us for a free second opinion. The price we give you in writing is the price you pay whether the job takes four hours or seven.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Radcliff
Every 2-3 years is realistic for rural Radcliff properties with unpaved-road dust exposure, compared to 3-5 years for homes on paved streets. The difference is visible: fine gravel dust coats return-side duct interiors faster and compounds with tree pollen from surrounding Hardin County woodlands. If you run your blower continuously or have pets, lean toward the shorter interval. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written recommendation based on what the camera actually shows in your system.
Yes, and it’s rarely done. When a PCS move empties a rental, that vacancy is the cheapest and easiest moment to clean the ducts properly. We see the alternative constantly: duct runs carrying debris from four or five different military families because no one scheduled the work during turnover. A camera inspection before a new tenant moves in costs less than a blower motor replacement later. If you own rental property in Radcliff, get a written scope before the next lease starts.
The right method is negative-pressure extraction with agitation, not a spinning brush stuffed through a single register. We pulled the register in a 1970s split-level in Country Squire Estates and found debris stacked since the Carter administration, matted inside the original sheet-metal ducts. Source removal means the vacuum pulls from the air handler side while agitation tools break the debris free, and then we run a camera to confirm the HEPA filtration cleared both supply and return runs. Anything less leaves the job half done.
Yes. Radcliff’s position in the Ohio Valley means duct interiors face near-constant humidity stress during warm months, and that alone can sustain dust-mite and mold growth in a system that hasn’t been cleaned in years. It doesn’t require a roof leak or a flooded basement. Homes left vacant between Fort Knox PCS assignments are the most vulnerable because the air conditioner isn’t running to dehumidify the air. If the camera shows microbial growth, we’ll tell you before any cleaning happens, not after.
Yes, because the air handler and blower sit downstream of the ductwork, and any debris that passes through the return side collects on the blower wheel and evaporator coil. Cleaning the ducts while leaving the blower caked with years of Radcliff pollen and road dust is a half-measure. Our full system cleaning includes the air handler cabinet and blower assembly, with before-and-after photos of both. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price on the complete system.
