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 Rochester Hills
Air duct cleaning in Rochester Hills typically runs $450-$850 for a full single-family home system, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. Rochester Hills homes built between 1985 and 2005 almost universally use flexible ductwork that has now aged 20 to 40 years, so what we find inside these systems is consistent and predictable: construction dust, drywall debris, sagging runs, and leaky trunk connections. If you live in a subdivision off Avon, Hamlin, or Livernois and have never had the ducts opened, you’re likely circulating air through ductwork that has never been documented. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before a single panel comes off.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Rochester Hills’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We work under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, and Haven Standard Clause 1 is the entire point: a written price before any work starts. No per-vent pricing. No visit fee that turns into something else once the van is parked in your driveway. Our crews serve Rochester Hills directly, and dispatch is coordinated from our Detroit office, so scheduling is straightforward for homeowners across Oakland County. Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before stepping inside.
Tomas Reyes, who leads our team, established this company in 2013 on a simple premise: documentation beats persuasion. That’s why every job ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, inside before and after. We’ve served 52,000+ homes with that standard, and Rochester Hills homeowners tend to respond to it immediately, because this is a city full of 2,000-4,000 sq ft subdivision homes built in an era when duct sealing standards didn’t exist. The work requires a company that can show you what was actually found, not one that asks you to take its word for it.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Rochester Hills
Residential Duct Cleaning
A full residential cleaning in Rochester Hills involves negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, not a shop vac at the register. We connect professional equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro directly to the trunk line, then agitate each duct run under negative pressure so debris is pulled to the collection point rather than pushed into the living space. Homes in this city, especially those with finished basements and three-car garages, typically have extended duct runs that a basic cleaning will miss entirely.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts in Rochester Hills pull from the home’s living spaces back to the air handler, and in a city with this tree canopy, that means pollen from the Paint Creek corridor and surrounding subdivisions enters through these intakes every spring. We clean return runs as a separate focus from supply runs, because they accumulate a different profile of debris: fine household dust, pet hair, and pollen rather than construction material. In 1990s-era homes off Tienken Road, we often find return runs that have never been opened since the day the house was built.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the furnace to each room. In Rochester Hills’s 1985-2005 housing stock, these runs are almost always flexible ductwork, and after two to four decades they sag at mid-span, especially long horizontal runs to finished basement rec rooms. Those sags become debris sumps that restrict airflow. Cleaning supply ducts properly means camera-inspecting them first to locate every sag, coupling, and low point before we apply agitation tools under negative pressure.
Video Inspection
Video inspection is part of every cleaning job here, not an add-on. Before we touch a duct run, we put a camera through it and record what’s there. In Rochester Hills, that means documenting the three-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, the drywall dust coating a trunk line, the sag holding a cup of fine powder at mid-span. You see the before footage. After cleaning, you see the after footage. The photo record is delivered to you as part of the standard job file.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Rochester Hills Homes
- Post-construction debris left at handover. Builders in Rochester Hills’s 1990s and early 2000s construction boom rarely cleaned ducts before occupancy. Drywall dust and sawdust from the build sit in the trunk lines and recirculate for months or years after move-in.
- Sagging flex-duct runs to finished basements. Long horizontal runs that were installed in the 1990s have lost their structural rigidity. They bow at mid-span, creating low points that trap debris. These sags are invisible from the register end and only show on camera.
- Leaky trunk-line connections. This era of construction predates modern duct-sealing codes. Connections at the main trunk were taped, not sealed, and after decades the tape fails. Supply ducts pull attic or wall-cavity air into the airstream, which means you’re paying to heat and cool air you never intended to condition.
- Oakland County winter recirculation. Rochester Hills homes seal up for five to six months of winter. Whatever dust, pollen, and microbial load entered the system in fall gets recirculated through every room, all season, with no fresh air exchange.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Rochester Hills
No, it’s the norm. Rochester Hills’s primary residential buildout happened between 1985 and 2005, and most homes from that window have never had a professional duct cleaning. The ductwork is now 20 to 40 years old, and in that time it has accumulated construction debris from the original build plus two decades of household dust, pet dander, and pollen from the city’s tree canopy. By the time we camera-inspect a system that has never been opened, we typically find significant buildup in the trunk lines and sags. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you what’s inside yours before any work is quoted.
Yes, and this is one of the most common findings in Rochester Hills’s newer subdivisions. Builders rarely clean ducts before handover, because it’s not required and it adds cost. Drywall dust, sawdust, and general construction debris get pulled into the return and supply runs during the build and sit there until someone removes them. A quick register-end vacuum won’t touch what’s actually in the trunk. We camera-document what’s there, remove it with negative pressure and agitation, and give you the before-and-after photo record so you know what came out. Call (806) 606-6902 to get a written price first.
The most common cause in this city’s 1990s-era subdivisions is a sagged flex-duct run to the finished basement. Long horizontal runs lose rigidity over time, bow at mid-span, and trap debris in the low point until airflow drops off dramatically. The vent can be fully open and still barely deliver air. In a subdivision off Hamlin Road, our crew camera-inspected a run to a finished basement rec room and found exactly this: a sag mid-span holding a debris sump invisible from the register end. We restored full airflow to the room using negative pressure with HEPA filtration and Rotobrush agitation tools. If your basement rooms are stuffy despite open vents, call (806) 606-6902 and request a video inspection.
Spring pollen loads in Rochester Hills are genuinely higher than in surrounding areas without the same canopy density. The Paint Creek corridor and the city’s mature subdivisions generate heavy pollen that gets pulled directly into return-air intakes, especially during April and May. Homes with high-efficiency filters on the equipment side will capture more of it at the filter, but the ductwork still sees significant seasonal loading. We recommend a camera inspection every two to three years for homes in heavily treed areas, with cleaning as indicated. The photo record tells you whether it’s time. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection.
A responsible builder should have sealed off duct openings during construction, cleaned the system after the final drywall sanding, and provided a written record of what was done. In practice, almost none of them do, because it isn’t mandated by local code and it costs money. What that means for you: the system you’re now heating and cooling is still carrying construction dust from the day it was built. The fix is a professional cleaning with camera documentation, and that’s exactly what we do. Our Free Second Opinion applies to new construction as much as it does to a competitor’s quote. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll tell you, in writing, what’s in your ducts and what it costs to remove.
