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 Westland
Air duct cleaning in Westland typically runs $380-$680 for a full residential system, and the job takes four to seven hours depending on how many original 1960s-era runs are still in place below the slab. Most Westland homes we see haven’t had their ducts opened since construction. They’re full of road salt, pet hair, and fifty years of accumulated fines. Our crews work Westland neighborhoods every week and know exactly what these ranch and tri-level systems hold. If you want a written price before anyone touches a panel, call (806) 606-6902.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Westland’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
CleanRun has been documenting duct interiors since 2013, and the Westland homes we service tend to produce the same findings job after job: compacted debris mats at the first elbow below floor registers, corroded galvanized trunk lines, and separated joints in basement runs. We show you the before-and-after photo record from every single duct run before we leave. There’s no guesswork about whether anything was actually cleaned.
Tomas Reyes leads our field team under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, which includes a written price before any work begins, background-checked uniformed technicians, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job. That promise is simple: if the work isn’t right, we make it right. No manager approval required.
Our crews are scheduled from our Detroit office and dispatched directly into Westland. When you call, a live person answers. When the crew arrives, you know who’s walking into your house, their name, and what they’re there to do. That matters when you’re letting someone into a 1,200 sq ft ranch off Ford Road with original ductwork and a furnace that’s been chugging since the Nixon administration.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Westland
Westland’s housing stock demands a different approach than what works in Canton or Livonia. These are original galvanized systems, often with basement trunks that have never been opened. Here’s what we do, and why it matters for your home specifically.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Westland homes fall between 1,000 and 1,400 square feet with the furnace in the basement and floor registers in every room. We run negative-pressure extraction through every supply and return run, using Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to dislodge what’s adhered to the duct walls. The photo record we deliver at the end shows you the trunk lines before and after. You’ll see what we saw.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Westland’s commercial strips along Wayne Road, Ford Road, and Warren Road include retail, medical, and office spaces with rooftop units and aging duct mains. We clean those systems the same way we clean homes: negative-pressure extraction, documented photo record, written scope before work starts. Commercial jobs are quoted by system size and run count, not by the square foot of the building.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry heated air from the furnace to your registers. In Westland’s floor-level layouts, that means the first elbow below each register acts as a catch basin. We remove the debris mat, clean the full run to the trunk, and photograph it. If we find a disconnected joint or a crushed section in the basement, we tell you and quote the repair separately, in writing, before touching it.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the furnace. When return air is restricted by debris, the blower motor works harder and the furnace overheats. In Westland ranches, the return side often shows just as much buildup as the supply side, especially in homes with pets or carpets. We clean the full return path, including the drop to the filter, and document every run.
Full System Cleaning
This is the service most Westland homes need. Supply and return sides, all trunk lines, all branch runs, the plenum, and the registers themselves. Four to seven hours. We use negative-pressure extraction with the system under seal, so debris is pulled out, not blown around the house. Then we hand you the photo record of every run we opened.
Video Inspection
Before we clean, we camera the trunk lines and the most likely failure points: the first elbow below each floor register, the basement trunk joints, and the return drop. This lets us show you exactly what’s in there and where. After cleaning, we camera again. The before-and-after comparison is included in your job record. If we find a disconnected run or a pinhole leak, you’ll see it on the screen before anyone asks for a repair dollar.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Westland
We service and clean systems built around the components Westland homes actually have: original galvanized trunks, Honeywell zone dampers, Aprilaire filter housings, and replacement runs installed over the years. Our equipment includes Rotobrush and Nikro for extraction and agitation, and Guardsman for surface treatment when sanitizing is requested. These are trade-recognized brands you can look up independently before you agree to a single dollar. No mystery tools, no unmarked van equipment.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Westland Homes
- Compacted debris mats at the first elbow below floor registers. Road salt, pet hair, and lint fuse into a dense mat that restricts airflow and forces the blower motor to work harder. In a 1,100 sq ft ranch in the Norwayne subdivision, our tech pulled a fused mat the size of a dinner plate from the first elbow below the living room register. The blower motor was already laboring against the restriction.
- Corroded galvanized trunk lines from decades of winter road salt. Salt crystals tracked indoors settle into floor registers and sit against galvanized steel for years. The result is pinhole leaks and rust-through, especially in basement trunks where condensation adds moisture to the equation.
- Separated and disconnected joints in basement runs. The original foil tape and sheet metal screws on 1960s-era ductwork fail over time. We regularly find joints that have pulled apart, dumping conditioned air into the basement instead of the living room. Airflow testing after a clean often reveals this.
- Mold and mildew in uninsulated basement supply ducts. Westland’s humid summers create condensation inside cool basement runs. When the furnace kicks on in October, that moisture has had months to grow things you don’t want distributed through the house. We find this in homes with original uninsulated trunks and runs.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Westland
Because the registers are set into the floor, and winter road salt from boots and shoes gets kicked directly into them. Add pet hair, carpet fibers, and everyday dust, and the first elbow below each register becomes a collection point. The salt acts as a binder, fusing everything into a dense mat. This is the single most common finding in Westland’s original ranch subdivisions, and it’s why airflow problems in these homes often trace back to just a few clogged elbows.
If your furnace runs but the far bedrooms never get warm, this is the first thing we check. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll camera it before anyone quotes a cleaning.
In a 50-plus-year-old system, we typically find a combination of compressed debris mats at floor-register elbows, rust scale and corrosion on the trunk walls, separated joints in the basement, and sometimes a dead mouse or squirrel that got in through a disconnected run. The return side often shows a thick layer of dust and pet hair caked onto the galvanized surfaces. We photograph all of it before cleaning and hand you the record when we’re done. You’ll see exactly what came out of your system.
Want to know what’s in yours? Call (806) 606-6902 for a documented inspection.
Humid air condenses on the cool exterior of uninsulated basement ducts, and over a summer that moisture soaks into the dust and debris on the interior surfaces. By the time the furnace fires up in October, you’ve had months of damp conditions inside the ducts. That’s how mold and mildew take hold. We see this in original Westland basements all the time, especially in homes without a dehumidifier and with bare galvanized runs.
The fix is a full cleaning first, then we can talk about whether sanitizing makes sense for your system. Call (806) 606-6902.
Yes, regularly. The original foil tape and sheet metal screws on 1960s and 1970s ductwork fail. Joints separate. Runs sag and crush, especially in basements where storage has been piled against them for decades. A crushed return run starves the blower motor. A separated supply joint dumps heated air into the basement. We camera the runs before cleaning so we can show you exactly which joints are failed and where.
Repair work is quoted separately in writing after you’ve seen the video. You decide what gets fixed. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
Westland’s original ranch and tri-level stock was built in a single burst between 1966 and the mid-1970s, and most of it still has the original galvanized ductwork with floor-level registers. Newer construction in Livonia and Canton uses ceiling registers and often flex duct, which doesn’t collect debris the same way and doesn’t corrode from floor-level salt exposure. A Westland cleaning is typically more involved: more dislodging, more joint inspection, more sealing work. That’s why the job takes the time it takes and why we don’t rush it.
