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 HVAC Cleaning Across Kendall
HVAC cleaning in Kendall means dealing with a specific problem: ductwork that never gets a break from Everglades moisture. A full system cleaning for a typical 1,800-2,400 sq ft Kendall home runs $380-$690, depending on how many duct runs you have and what the camera shows inside. We’ll give you the exact price in writing before any panel comes off. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule a Kendall crew to inspect your system, show you the before photos, and quote the job in writing. No coupons, no bait pricing, no surprises.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Kendall’s Preferred HVAC Cleaning Company
Kendall homeowners call us because we document everything. Since 2013, we’ve completed 52,000+ jobs across South Florida, every single one with a written price before work started and a photographed record of every duct run when the crew finished. That matters here more than most places, because Kendall’s Everglades-adjacent location means duct contamination is chronic, not occasional. A company that runs a shop vac through your vents and calls it done will be back on the phone with you in three months when the mold resurfaces. We’d rather show you the camera footage the first time.
Tomas Reyes, who leads our crew operations, has spent years working through Kendale Lakes, Country Walk, West Kendall, and the subdivisions along Kendall Drive. Our techs know what a 1980s CBS ranch’s original flex ducts look like after 40 years in a 130°F attic. We also know what post-Irma water intrusion looks like, because we’ve opened hundreds of those knee-wall and attic runs. If you’re searching for HVAC Cleaning in Kendall, you’ll want a company that can tell the difference between cleanable buildup and ductwork that needs replacement. We can, and we’ll put it on camera.
Our HVAC Cleaning Services in Kendall
Every Kendall system we open has the same three problems happening at once: a coated evaporator coil, a blower wheel caked with biological matter, and flex ducts shedding liner material into the airstream. We address all three, because cleaning one without the others just moves contamination around. Here’s what we actually do inside a Kendall home.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
The evaporator coil in a Kendall air handler is a magnet for the organic bioaerosols coming off the Everglades. Within two to three years of heavy AC use, the coil’s fins pack with a wet, sticky mat of mold, dust, and decomposed insect matter that cuts airflow and pushes your AC to run longer cycles. On a 1980s Kendall system, that mat can be a half-inch thick. We remove the coil, apply a professional-grade coil cleaner compatible with your system’s metal, and rinse until the camera shows bare fins. If the coil is too far gone, we’ll tell you before we touch it, with photos to back the recommendation.
Blower Cleaning
The blower wheel in a Kendall air handler pulls air across the wet coil and flings it through the supply ducts. Whatever the coil collects, the blower redistributes. We remove the blower assembly, clean each curved blade with a non-damaging degreaser, and document the before and after. A dirty blower in a Kendall home doesn’t just spread spores – it strains the motor, and a failed blower motor in August is an expensive, uncomfortable week. We clean it as part of the system, not as an add-on.
Condenser Cleaning
Your outside unit in Kendall lives in one of the harshest conditions in South Florida: full sun, Rainy Season downpours, and a steady coating of pollen, grass clippings, and wind-blown Everglades particulate. We remove the fan guard, rinse the coil from the inside out using a low-pressure wash to avoid bending fins, and clear the drainage channels. A plugged condenser in Kendall runs head pressures up and shortens compressor life. This is fifteen minutes of work inside a full HVAC cleaning, and it’s included.
Air Handler Cleaning
The air handler cabinet is where Kendall’s humidity does its worst work. Standing water in the drain pan, a slow drip from the primary condensate line, and 12 months of continuous cooling cycles turn the inside of that cabinet into a dark, wet chamber. We vacuum out standing debris, clean the drain pan, clear the condensate line with compressed air, and treat the interior surfaces to inhibit regrowth. Then we camera-inspect the housing before closing it up.

Our crews work with professional-grade cleaning and inspection equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, and Honeywell, with Aprilaire media and Guardsman treatments available where the job calls for it. When we recommend a filter upgrade or a coil treatment for a Kendall system, we name the specific product and show you the manufacturer’s specification sheet. No mystery chemicals.
Common HVAC Cleaning Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Post-Irma attic moisture that never dried out. Hurricane Irma in 2017 drove water into thousands of Kendall attic spaces. Flex duct insulation wicked that moisture in and never released it. The outer jacket looks intact; the inside is a mold farm. We see this in Kendale Lakes, West Kendall, and Country Walk constantly.
- Mold colonies inside air handlers with zero visible water damage. Kendall’s Everglades-adjacent humidity keeps the inside of the air handler cabinet wet for months at a time, even when the drain pan isn’t visibly overflowing. We find Stachybotrys and Aspergillus inside cabinets that look clean from the outside.
- Rotary brush cleaning without negative pressure. This is the big one. A rotating brush that isn’t paired with HEPA-filtered negative pressure kicks spores out of the duct run being cleaned and spreads them through the rest of the house. In a Kendall home, that’s redistributing Everglades-sourced mold into every bedroom.
- Perforated flex duct liners in 1970s-1990s tract homes. The original flex duct in many Kendall homes has a plastic inner liner that’s now cracked, brittle, and full of pinholes. Cleaning the surface temporarily removes visible mold, but regrowth happens within weeks because the liner itself is compromised. We document that condition and recommend replacement where warranted.
Pricing for HVAC Cleaning in Kendall, FL
A full HVAC cleaning in Kendall – evaporator coil, blower, air handler, condenser, and all accessible supply and return duct runs – typically runs $380-$690 for a single-system home. Homes with two systems or long attic runs above 2,400 sq ft fall in the $650-$900 range. Coil treatment adds $45-$90 depending on the product used and the coil’s condition. If our camera finds contamination that requires replacement rather than cleaning, we’ll give you a written scope and photo documentation before proposing any additional work.
Every price is delivered in writing under Haven Standard Clause 1: written price before any work starts, every time, no exceptions. Right now, the average Kendall duct replacement job runs $1,800-$4,200 depending on run count and attic access, but that’s a replacement conversation, not a cleaning one. We’ll show you exactly what you’re buying with camera footage, not a sales pitch. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.

How Kendall’s Everglades Proximity Changes Your Ductwork
Kendall sits directly against the western edge of Miami-Dade, with the Everglades starting practically at Krome Avenue. That means the air your return ducts pull in carries a load of mold spores, peat dust, and organic bioaerosols that coastal neighborhoods don’t see. In Miami Beach or Brickell, ocean air and regular winds dilute the biological load. In Kendall, the wetlands act as a standing reservoir. Your AC runs nearly 12 months a year here, pulling that air through the return, across the coil, and into the supply ducts. In a 1985 CBS ranch with original flex duct, that’s a continuous mold colonization cycle. By the time a Kendall homeowner notices the musty smell or the family starts waking up congested, the colony inside the ducts and air handler has been building for years. This is not a seasonal problem that resolves in a dry winter. Kendall doesn’t get a dry winter. That’s why we treat Kendall duct cleaning as a different category of work than a standard metro job – the contamination source is geographic, and it never shuts off.
HVAC Cleaning in Kendall: Cleanable vs. Replaceable After Water Intrusion
Not every Kendall duct problem is a cleaning problem. Some are replacement problems, and knowing which one you’re looking at changes everything about cost, insurance, and whether the work actually holds. We make the call with a camera, not a guess.
When Ducts Can Be Cleaned
If the camera shows surface contamination – dust, mold, debris – on the inside of the duct run, and the flex liner is intact, and there’s no evidence of standing water or saturation, we clean it. Full source removal: HEPA-filtered negative pressure at the air handler, agitation at each register, and camera inspection after the run to confirm the surface is clear. This is the standard Kendall cleaning, and it’s what most homes need.
When Ducts Need Replacement
If the camera shows a saturated insulation layer, a collapsed or torn inner liner, or mold growing through the fiberglass, cleaning won’t fix it. The liner is the problem. In a Kendall attic that hit 135°F all summer, that compromised liner keeps wicking moisture and shedding debris into the airstream. We replace those runs. The distinction matters because you don’t want to pay $500 for a cleaning that lasts three weeks, and you don’t want to pay $3,500 for a replacement when a cleaning would have done it.
How We Document It for Your Insurer
After a Kendall storm event, insurance adjusters want evidence, not narrative. We provide it. Every duct run gets a before photo, an after photo, and a written assessment stating whether the run was cleaned or replaced, why, and what the camera showed. We include moisture readings where relevant, and we tie the findings to the specific event – Irma in 2017, or any named storm that followed. Our customers have used this documentation to support claims; we can’t guarantee your carrier’s decision, but we can guarantee the file is complete. Haven Standard Clause 5 covers documentation: if we do the work, you get the record. That’s not an add-on. That’s the job.
Our crew recently handled a 1984 CBS ranch in Kendale Lakes where the original flex ducts tested positive for heavy Stachybotrys growth despite no visible water damage anywhere in the house. We performed source removal with HEPA-filtered negative pressure, replaced the disintegrating inner liners on the supply runs, and then camera-inspected the full supply and return system to confirm zero residual colonization before resealing. The homeowner’s insurance adjuster accepted our photo record and written scope without pushback. That’s the standard we work to on every Kendall job.

FAQs - HVAC Cleaning in Kendall
Kendall ducts typically need a full HVAC cleaning every 2-3 years because the Everglades continuously supplies mold spores and organic particulate, which accumulates faster than in coastal Miami neighborhoods. The AC runs 11-12 months a year here, so there’s no dry-season reset. If you haven’t had your ducts camera-inspected in three years, you won’t know what’s inside until someone looks. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put the camera in before we ask for a dollar.
We camera-inspect every run. If the inner liner is intact and the contamination is on the surface, we clean it with HEPA-filtered source removal. If the liner is torn, saturated, or mold has colonized through the fiberglass, the run needs replacement, not cleaning. In a Kendall attic, post-storm moisture that wicked into the insulation never dries, so a liner that looks wet on camera is a replacement call. We document the finding and walk you through what the camera showed.
Kendall’s year-round humidity keeps the inside of the air handler cabinet at moisture levels that support mold growth even when there’s no active leak. The combination of Everglades bioaerosols, 12 months of cooling, and attics that reach 130°F+ creates conditions where mold grows inside the system while the drywall and flooring stay untouched. It’s the single most common finding we make in Kendall homes.
Yes, and that’s the only way we do it. Our cleaning uses HEPA-filtered negative pressure at the air handler while agitation happens at the registers, so spores and debris are pulled out of the run and captured at the machine, not released into the house. A rotary brush without negative pressure in a Kendall home just spreads Everglades-sourced mold from one duct run into every bedroom. We won’t do that, and we’ll explain why it matters before we start.
We provide a written scope, before-and-after camera photos of every run, and a line-by-line assessment stating whether each run was cleaned or replaced, why, and what the camera showed at the time of service. We include moisture readings and tie the findings to the specific storm event. We can’t guarantee your carrier’s decision, but we can deliver a file that gives the adjuster everything they need to process the claim. Most Kendall homeowners we work with use this documentation as the deciding factor in their claim outcome. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule the inspection – estimates are free and the camera doesn’t lie.
