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 Boca Raton, FL
Dryer vent cleaning in Boca Raton, FL typically costs $139-$260 and is completed in a single visit with before-and-after photos of the entire run. Most calls we take in Boca Raton are from owners of 1970s-1990s country-club homes whose dryer vents have never been opened, or whose seasonal vacancy cycles let humidity and lint harden into a plug that a standard cleaning alone won’t dislodge. If you own a home in Boca West, Broken Sound, or Woodfield, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Boca Raton Homes Are Different
Boca Raton’s dominant housing stock was built between 1970 and 1995 as planned golf-and-country-club communities. A lot of those homes still have original flex ductwork and fiberglass-lined metal ducts that have spent three or four decades in South Florida heat and humidity cycles. The liner inside those ducts degrades. Joints separate. Collars at sheet-metal connections corrode from salt-laden coastal air. That means a duct cleaning quote in Boca Raton can’t be a one-line price. The job scope depends on whether the liner has to be repaired, resealed, or replaced before any cleaning makes sense.
The other thing that changes the work here is the snowbird population. Thousands of homes in gated communities sit vacant from June through September, which is exactly when Boca Raton’s ambient humidity routinely exceeds 80 percent. Owners often set thermostats to 80°F or shut systems off entirely. Relative humidity inside the ductwork climbs, fiberglass liners hold moisture, and mold colonizes undisturbed. When the owner returns in November, the first thing the AC system does is push that contamination into the living space. In east Boca’s high-rise condominiums, shared air-handler closets can cross-contaminate duct runs between units, which complicates any cleaning scope.
Our Main Boca Raton Services
Boca Raton homeowners call CleanRun most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning for systems that have never been opened, and HVAC cleaning for coils and air handlers that have spent years in humidity. Both are documented with before-and-after photos of every run.
Air Duct Cleaning in Boca Raton
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Boca Raton service is a full-system cleaning: supply and return runs, plenums, registers, and the air handler interior. On 1980s-era Boca Raton homes, we frequently find 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, degraded flex liner fibers, and filter cabinets that haven’t been sealed in years. Each job includes a documented photo record of every duct run before and after, plus a written scope. Pricing is agreed in writing before any panel comes off.
HVAC Cleaning in Boca Raton
Our HVAC Cleaning in Boca Raton service removes biofilm and debris from evaporator coils, blower wheels, drain pans, and the air handler cabinet. In Boca Raton, systems that run 10-12 months a year accumulate microbial growth far faster than in temperate markets. A dirty coil in an east Boca condo can push musty air through every room. We use negative-pressure extraction and manufacturer-specified cleaning agents, and you receive the same written price and photo documentation as with our air duct service.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Boca Raton
Dryer vent cleaning in Boca Raton usually costs $139-$180 for a standard single-story run and $180-$260 for a longer run, a roof termination, or a vent that hasn’t been opened in years. The homes we see here were often built with vent runs that are too long or that terminate on the roof, and a decade of South Florida humidity turns lint into a damp, compacted plug that behaves more like a sponge than a pile of dust. This is one of the most common hidden fire risks in older Boca Raton homes, and it’s also one of the easiest to document and fix. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning service includes a camera inspection of the full run and before-and-after photos, delivered with your written warranty under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take two cycles to dry, the laundry room feels humid while the dryer runs, or the exterior vent flap doesn’t open when the machine is on.
What it costs in Boca Raton
A dryer vent inspection with camera documentation is included with a standard vent cleaning, typically $139-$180 for a single run.
How we do it
We run a camera from the dryer connection to the termination point, measure the total run length, and document any blockages, gaps, or crushed sections with photos.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
You don’t know when the vent was last cleaned, or you’ve never seen the inside of it and the dryer is more than five years old.
What it costs in Boca Raton
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Boca Raton ranges from $139 to $260 depending on run length, access, and termination point.
How we do it
We connect a negative-pressure extraction unit at the dryer end, run a rotating brush through the full run, and photograph the vent interior before and after.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
You can see lint accumulating around the dryer base or the lint trap doesn’t seat properly, which suggests a restriction downstream.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Heavy lint removal, including compacted plugs and rodent nesting, runs $180-$260 depending on how far down the run the blockage sits.
How we do it
We dislodge the compacted lint with rotary brushes, extract it under negative pressure, then camera-verify the run is clear side to side.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Boca Raton
| Item | Typical range in Boca Raton |
|---|---|
| Standard vent cleaning (single run, accessible termination) | $139-$180 |
| Extended run, roof termination, or heavy lint plug | $180-$260 |
| Bird guard installation with cleaning | $220-$300 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Boca Raton?
Every 12 months in Boca Raton, more often if the home is vacant for summer or the vent terminates on the roof. Humidity hardens lint faster here than in dry climates. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
What if the vent is clogged with lint but the dryer still works?
A clogged vent forces the dryer to run longer and hotter, which shortens its life and raises the fire risk. The fix is usually one visit. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a price before starting.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Boca Raton
Duct repair and sealing in Boca Raton typically costs $250-$450 per affected run, with whole-system sealing projects ranging from $900 to $1,900 depending on the number of runs and access. The older flex ductwork in 1970s-1990s Boca Raton homes fails at the collars and joints, and coastal salt air accelerates corrosion at metal connections. A leak in a duct run means you’re paying to cool attic air, not the living room. Our Duct Repair & Sealing service starts with a camera inspection of every run, then we repair what’s actually broken, seal the joints with mastic, and photo-document the work before and after.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms at the end of a run stay hot in summer, the utility bill keeps climbing in a humid month, and you can feel cool air leaking from joints you can reach.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Sealing a single duct run with mastic and reinforcing tape ranges from $250 to $450, depending on access and how many joints are involved.
How we do it
We find the leak with a pressure test and camera, clean the joint surface, apply mastic sealant, and document the sealed connection with a photo.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
The flex duct is collapsed along the attic run, torn at a collar, or a recent renovation left it crushed under stored items.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Repairing or replacing a damaged section of flex duct in Boca Raton runs $300-$600 per run, depending on the length and diameter.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section, replace it with correct-diameter flex, seal both collars with mastic, and photograph the finished connection.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Boca Raton
| Item | Typical range in Boca Raton |
|---|---|
| Seal a single duct run (mastic and reinforcing tape) | $250-$450 |
| Flex duct section repair or replacement (per run) | $300-$600 |
| Whole-system duct sealing (all accessible runs) | $900-$1,900 |
Does duct sealing require a permit in Boca Raton?
Most sealing jobs on existing systems don’t require a permit in Boca Raton, but replacing an entire run may if the scope changes. We handle permit requirements in the written scope. Call (806) 606-6902 for specifics on your home.
Can you find duct leaks without tearing open the ceiling?
Yes. We use a duct pressure test and a camera inspection to locate leaks in accessible runs, then seal them from inside or at the joints. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Boca Raton
Air quality and sanitizing in Boca Raton typically costs $350-$600 for a full-system sanitizing after cleaning, with UV light installation running $850-$1,200 and whole-home air purifier installation $650-$900. The humidity cycles in Boca Raton create conditions where mold and bacteria colonize duct liner and coils while snowbird homes sit vacant. A standard cleaning removes debris; sanitizing addresses what’s growing on the surfaces. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service applies an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment after mechanical cleaning, with before-and-after documentation covering every treated surface.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You smell a musty odor from the vents, especially when the AC first kicks on, or you can see dark staining inside the duct liner at a register.
What it costs in Boca Raton
Mold treatment for ductwork in Boca Raton ranges from $350 to $600, typically after a full mechanical cleaning of the same runs.
How we do it
We mechanically clean the contaminated surface, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial, and document the treated area with before-and-after photos.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
The coil stays wet through most of the year, the home is vacant for months at a time, or you want to prevent microbial growth on the coil surface between cleanings.
What it costs in Boca Raton
UV light installation above the evaporator coil in Boca Raton ranges from $850 to $1,200 including the unit and wiring.
How we do it
We install a manufacturer-specified UV light above the coil, wire it to cycle with the system, and verify operation with a photo of the installed lamp.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Boca Raton
| Item | Typical range in Boca Raton |
|---|---|
| Full-system sanitizing after cleaning | $350-$600 |
| UV light installation (above evaporator coil) | $850-$1,200 |
| Whole-home air purifier installation | $650-$900 |
Does sanitizing replace duct cleaning in Boca Raton?
No. Sanitizing treats microbial growth on surfaces but does not remove debris, dust, or deteriorated liner particles. Both are usually needed in a humid climate. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope.
Can I treat mold in my ducts myself?
We don’t recommend it. Duct mold in Boca Raton usually means liner saturation, which requires mechanical cleaning and professional-grade treatment to address. A technician can show you the before-photo and explain the scope in writing. Call (806) 606-6902.
