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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Redmond, WA: What It Costs and What We Find
Air duct cleaning in Redmond typically costs between $425 and $780 for a full system cleaning of a single-family home, depending on the number of duct runs, the age of the system, and whether sealing or replacement work is needed. Most Redmond homes we service were built between 1985 and 1998, which means the flexible ductwork is now at or past its service life. That changes the job significantly. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts, no exceptions.
What makes Redmond different from Bellevue or Issaquah is not the weather alone. It’s the housing stock. The Microsoft-driven building boom of the late 1980s through late 1990s put up thousands of homes in a compressed window, and the ductwork installed then was economy-grade flex duct. Thirty years later, that material fails in ways that standard duct cleaning cannot fix. We document it all with camera footage before and after, so you see exactly what we found and what we did about it.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Redmond’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been doing this since 2013, and the reason Redmond homeowners keep calling us back is simple: we tell the truth about what’s in the ducts, and we put it in writing. On a two-story 1994 build off Education Hill, our camera inspection found the mylar liner in a 12-inch flex return had separated from its jacket and accordioned inward, collapsing the duct to half its diameter while the homeowner’s MERV 11 filter looked completely clean. The airflow at the registers read 210 CFM. After we replaced the crushed run with rigid metal where accessible, performed full source removal on the remaining ducts with HEPA-filtered negative pressure, and sealed the air handler cabinet, that number jumped to 490 CFM within the hour. That’s the kind of thing a $79 coupon service never finds, because they never look.
Tomas Reyes, who runs our Redmond operations, has spent more than a decade documenting what actually fails inside aging Eastside duct systems. He trains every technician to look for liner separation, crushed runs, and disconnected flex before touching a brush to the ducts. If your system needs sealing or replacement, we tell you before we clean, not after. That’s the difference between doing the job and doing it right.
Our Redmond customers get the full CleanRun record: written price up front, camera inspection as standard, photo documentation at the end, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work is not right, we make it right. That’s not marketing copy. It’s a clause in every job record.
BeforeAfterOur Air Duct Cleaning Services in Redmond
Full System Cleaning
This is the core service for Redmond’s tech-boom-era homes. We clean every supply and return duct run, the plenum, and the air handler housing using negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration - not a shop-vac attached to a register. For homes in Education Hill, Bear Creek, and Overlake built between 1985 and 1998, a full system cleaning in Redmond runs $425 to $680. If your home has never had the ducts cleaned, or you bought it from a previous owner who never did, this is where you start.
Video Inspection
Before we recommend cleaning, we look. A video inspection of your Redmond home’s ductwork costs $95 as a standalone service, and it’s waived entirely if you proceed with a full system cleaning. The camera shows us what no filter change ever will: liner separation inside 30-year-old flex, disconnected runs in a crawlspace, crushed duct under a remodeled addition. In Redmond, where flexible ductwork is aging out across entire neighborhoods, this is the single most valuable diagnostic we offer. You see the footage. We keep it in your job record.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your furnace or air handler to each room. In Redmond homes with cedar, alder, and Douglas fir trees close to the house, these runs clog with pollen and fine organic dust that settles into flex duct sagging between joists. Supply duct cleaning in Redmond runs $275 to $410 depending on the number of runs. We clean from the air handler outward, not register-deep, which is what separates real source removal from a brush-and-scope show.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air from your living spaces back to the blower. In older Redmond homes, returns are often the worst offenders: long flex runs through crawlspaces, disconnected joints pulling attic or crawlspace air directly into the supply stream, and liner collapse from condensation. Return duct cleaning in Redmond runs $250 to $380. When we find disconnects or crushed sections, we document them with the camera and give you a written quote for repair before we ask for another dollar.

Trusted Brands We Service in Redmond
We work on systems built around Honeywell and Aprilaire components regularly in Redmond, and we use Abatement Technologies equipment for HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extraction on site. If your thermostat, zoning, or humidifier is Honeywell or Aprilaire, we know the setup - no fumbling with unfamiliar controls. For Redmond customers, we carry common flex duct sections, rigid replacement components, and sealing materials on every truck. That means when the camera finds a crushed run, we can usually fix it that same visit rather than scheduling a return trip. Same crew, same day, one written price.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Redmond Homes
- Inner mylar liner separation in 1990s flex duct. Redmond’s boom-era homes used economy-grade flex that fails after 25 to 30 years. The liner separates from the outer jacket, bunches up, and cuts airflow 30 to 50 percent before any debris is even factored in. Cleaning alone cannot fix this - the run needs replacement.
- Moisture-driven mold in Sammamish River valley ducts. Redmond sits in a river valley wrapped in evergreen forest, and the ambient humidity is some of the highest on the Eastside. Any small leak in aging flex lets that moisture in, and mold follows. Standard cleaning removes debris but not colony growth inside porous duct liner. Sealing or replacement is often the actual fix.
- Heavy pollen loading from cedar, alder, and fir. Redmond’s tree canopy sheds for months each year, and return-side flex ducts catch a lot of it before the filter does. We routinely find register boxes packed with fine organic dust that has compacted into a mat. This is a normal cleaning job, but it matters more here than in drier, less wooded Eastside cities.
- Disconnected or crushed flex runs in crawlspaces and attics. In Redmond’s older homes, duct runs through unconditioned spaces get stepped on, sag, or pull loose over decades. The result is supply air being lost to the crawlspace or attic air being drawn into the system. Only a camera inspection catches this reliably. We find it weekly.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Redmond
Because the mylar inner liner inside economy-grade flex duct separates from the outer jacket after 25 to 35 years, and once that happens, the run is mechanically compromised. Redmond’s Microsoft-era building boom used this material across thousands of homes in Education Hill, Bear Creek, and Overlake, and we now see the same failure mode in most of them: the liner bunches inward, airflow drops 30 to 50 percent, and no amount of cleaning restores design CFM. The run needs replacement or re-lining. We show you the camera footage before we recommend it, and the replacement price is in writing before we start. Call (806) 606-6902 if you want to know what’s actually inside your ducts.
Redmond’s valley location and dense evergreen canopy produce high ambient humidity through most of the year, and that moisture finds every small leak in aging flex duct. Once inside, it condenses on the cool inner liner and creates conditions where mold can colonize quickly. Standard duct cleaning removes debris but does not kill or remove mold growing in porous liner material. The real fix is sealing the leak or replacing the affected run. If you’re concerned about mold and you live near the river or in a heavily treed lot, ask for a camera inspection first. It’s $95 and we waive it if you proceed with cleaning. Call (806) 606-6902.
Expect us to look before we touch anything. We run a camera through your supply and return runs to identify liner separation, crushed sections, disconnects, and debris load. Then we do source removal: negative-pressure extraction at the air handler with HEPA filtration, cleaning every run from the air handler outward, not register-deep. After the cleaning, we run the camera again and give you before-and-after photos of every run. If we find a crushed or disconnected run, we show you the footage and give you a written price for repair. No surprises, one written record. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
Yes, and the reason is Redmond’s tree canopy. Western red cedar, red alder, and Douglas fir shed heavily for months each year, and much of that fine pollen bypasses the filter and settles in return-side flex ducts and register boxes. Homes with mature trees close to the house - common in Education Hill and Idylwood - typically see meaningful buildup in three to five years, compared to the five-to-seven-year cadence for newer, treeless subdivisions elsewhere on the Eastside. If your filter looks clean but your registers are dusting back out, that’s the cue. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll tell you what the camera shows.
Yes. The newer high-density townhomes and multifamily buildings around the Overlake light-rail corridor have different duct systems than the single-family boom-era stock - usually shorter runs, more rigid metal, and higher-efficiency equipment. Cleaning these systems is faster and typically costs less: $350 to $520 for a full system clean depending on unit size and access. What doesn’t change is the process: written price first, camera inspection, source removal with HEPA-filtered negative pressure, and before-and-after documentation. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate.
Most repairs run $180 to $320 per affected run, depending on accessibility and whether the run is in a crawlspace, attic, or interior wall. Redmond’s older homes have a lot of flex duct running through unconditioned spaces, and that’s where disconnects and crush damage happen most. You’ll see the problem on camera before we quote the fix. The price is written, and you approve it before we do the work. Call (806) 606-6902.
