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 Lawrence, IN
Dryer vent cleaning in Lawrence, IN typically costs $89-$189 and is the single most important preventive service for the city’s dense triple-decker housing stock. We’re CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, owned by Tomas Reyes, and we’ve built our entire operation around one principle: a written price before any work starts, and a photo record of every duct run when we leave. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote on any service listed on this page.
Why Lawrence Homes Are Different
Lawrence was ground zero for the September 2018 Columbia Gas explosions, and that event still shapes what we find inside ductwork today. The emergency rebuild through the winter of 2018-2019 installed thousands of new furnaces and duct systems at speed. Those replacement runs, now five-plus years old, were sealed with construction debris, drywall dust, and blown-in insulation fibers still inside. We pull more joint-compound dust out of elbows and boot registers in Lawrence than we do in Methuen or Haverhill combined.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Late-19th and early-20th century wood-frame triple-deckers and two-family homes dominate the city. Forced-air systems were rarely designed in from the start; most were retrofitted through attics with low clearance, behind kneewalls, and into closets never meant to hold mechanicals. That means patchwork duct runs with mismatched materials and elbows that a camera can’t even push through without hitting a nail or a collapsed seam.
Then there’s the Merrimack River valley humidity, which traps moisture in basements and crawl spaces for most of the summer. Combined with a heating season that runs roughly October through April, Lawrence forced-air systems log some of the heaviest annual run-hours in New England. Debris accumulates faster, and the dust that settles in ductwork here tends to hold more biological growth than drier inland towns. Technicians who know this city plan for longer extraction times and more insulation-contact work than a comparable job in a 1990s suburb.
Our Main Lawrence Services
Homeowners in Lawrence call most about two jobs: full-system air duct cleaning and coil-level HVAC cleaning. Both are covered by the same written-pricing rule and the same documented photo record.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lawrence
A full-system Air Duct Cleaning in Lawrence job starts with a camera inspection of the supply trunk, return drop, and a sample of branch runs. On post-2018 rebuild homes, we typically photograph insulation fibers packed into the first elbow off the plenum, which is the evidence that tells us how aggressive the negative-pressure extraction needs to be. Prices are written before a single panel comes off.
HVAC Cleaning in Lawrence
HVAC Cleaning in Lawrence covers the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and condensate pan, not just the ductwork. In Lawrence’s October-through-April heating season, the blower wheel can carry a thick felt of dust and hair that starves airflow and shortens motor life. We photograph the coil before and after, and the price is set in writing before work begins.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Lawrence
Dryer vent cleaning in Lawrence is not optional maintenance; it’s the service that prevents a lint fire. The city’s triple-deckers and two-family homes routinely route dryer exhaust through 15 to 25 feet of hard-to-access interior wall cavities, sometimes with two or three right-angle turns before the termination point. When the T at the termination clogs, which happens faster in the damp Merrimack air, the lint sits in that warm, humid run and becomes a fuel source. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning service removes that accumulated lint with negative-pressure extraction and a rotary brush, and we photograph inside the run before and after so you can see the result.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take two cycles to dry, or the outside vent flap barely moves when the dryer runs.
What it costs in Lawrence
Inspection alone runs $79-$129 when booked as part of a cleaning or $99-$149 standalone.
How we do it
We run a camera from the dryer connection through the entire run to the termination, measuring length, counting elbows, and photographing the obstruction points.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
The dryer is hot to the touch on its top panel after a normal cycle, or you smell a musty odor from the back of the unit.
What it costs in Lawrence
Cleaning a standard 10-to-15-foot residential run costs $119-$189, including the camera record.
How we do it
We seal the dryer end with a negative-pressure fan, run a rotary brush through the full length, and photograph the interior and termination before and after.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Lawrence
| Item | Typical range in Lawrence |
| Dryer vent inspection | $79-$129 |
| Standard vent cleaning (15 ft or less) | $119-$189 |
| Rooftop or multi-story termination access | $160-$250 |
How often does a dryer vent need cleaning in Lawrence?
Every 12 months for a household of four, and every 6 months if the vent run exceeds 15 feet or contains more than two elbows, which is common in Lawrence’s retrofitted triple-deckers. Backed-up lint can ignite; the National Fire Protection Association lists dryer vents as a leading cause of residential fires.
Why is my dryer taking so long in Lawrence?
A 40-minute cycle that now takes 80 usually means the vent is partially blocked, not that the dryer is failing. In Lawrence’s high-humidity summers, lint can bond with moisture into a paste that clings to the pipe wall. Call (806) 606-6902 to have us camera and measure the run.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Lawrence
Duct repair and sealing in Lawrence means dealing with the patchwork metal and flex runs that were retrofitted into pre-war wood framing, then sometimes disturbed again during the 2018-2019 HVAC rebuild. A 20-year-old seam that has been pulled apart and re-taped twice leaks conditioned air into a wall cavity instead of a bedroom. Our Duct Repair & Sealing service finds those leaks with a pressure test or thermal camera, then seals them with mastic, which cures into a hard shell rather than drying out like tape. Every job ends with the documented photo record.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms at the far end of the house run 4-6 degrees colder than the room nearest the furnace, and the furnace runs constantly.
What it costs in Lawrence
Sealing an accessible run with mastic costs $300-$600, depending on how many elbows and boots are accessible.
How we do it
We locate leaks with a pressure or thermal scan, then apply mastic sealant at every seam, elbow, and boot connection and photograph each sealed joint.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
A run has collapsed, kinked, or pulled away from the register box, usually in an attic with low clearance.
What it costs in Lawrence
Replacing or re-supporting a damaged flex run typically costs $150-$400 per run, including materials.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section, install new flex of the same diameter, re-support it with strapping, and seal both ends with mastic before photographing the finished run.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Lawrence
| Item | Typical range in Lawrence |
| Accessible duct sealing with mastic | $300-$600 |
| Flex duct replacement per run | $150-$400 |
| Metal duct section repair | $250-$550 |
Why does sealing matter more in Lawrence than in newer construction?
Lawrence’s retrofitted duct systems can leak 20-30% of conditioned air into wall cavities and attics before it ever reaches a register. A sealed system delivers the heat you pay for into rooms, and mastic holds for decades where tape fails in five years.
Can you repair ducts without opening walls in a triple-decker?
Most accessible repairs, yes. We work inside the existing chases and through register openings where possible, which keeps a Lawrence triple-decker from becoming a gut job. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written scope before any wall is opened.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Lawrence
Air quality and sanitizing in Lawrence is a direct response to what the city’s climate and construction history leave inside ductwork: mold spores that survive on Merrimack humidity, dust-mite debris from six-month heating seasons, and fine joint-compound dust from the rebuild. We treat the surfaces inside the duct system, not just the air passing through it. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service includes an EPA-registered antimicrobial applied to the interior surfaces of the ductwork, and we recommend it after any post-rebuild cleaning where the camera shows dust build-up that has absorbed moisture.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
A musty or stale odor comes out of the registers every time the blower cycles on.
What it costs in Lawrence
Odor treatment after a cleaning usually runs $150-$350, depending on the size of the system and the source.
How we do it
We locate the odor source with a moisture or thermal inspection, remove the affected material, then apply an EPA-registered deodorizer inside the duct surfaces and at the return drop.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
You have recurring mold growth on the coil or in the condensate pan, not just dust on the registers.
What it costs in Lawrence
A UV-C light installed at the coil typically runs $650-$1,400, including the unit and wiring.
How we do it
We mount the UV lamp so it shines directly on the coil and condensate pan, wire it to the blower circuit, and photograph the finished install.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Lawrence
| Item | Typical range in Lawrence |
| Odor removal | $150-$350 |
| Mold treatment (surface-level) | $400-$800 |
| UV light installation | $650-$1,400 |
Does sanitizing help with the post-rebuild dust in Lawrence?
Sanitizing addresses biological growth, not particle dust. On post-2018 rebuild homes, we clean the debris first, then sanitize only if the camera shows moisture staining or visible mold. That keeps the treatment honest and photographable.
Will a UV light kill all mold in my ducts?
UV-C light kills what it shines on, which is the coil and pan area where growth starts. It does not shine through the whole duct system, so surface cleaning and source removal still have to come first. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote on both steps.
Brands We Service in Lawrence
We service and install Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies equipment in Lawrence. Common filters, UV lamps, and sanitizing agents are stocked in our local vehicles, so a standard replacement or install doesn’t wait on a warehouse order. See our brands for the full list.

Two things push a Lawrence quote higher than a comparable job in a newer suburb: access and rebuild debris. Attic chases with low clearance and runs behind finished kneewalls add labor time, and post-2018 systems full of joint-compound dust and insulation fibers take longer to extract than a clean run. That’s why we write the price before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1, so the number on the quote is the number you pay.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Lawrence
Most Lawrence jobs are scheduled within five to seven business days. The work itself takes half a day for a typical triple-decker’s duct system, longer if we’re also sealing or sanitizing. We confirm the written price before the crew arrives.
Routine cleaning, sealing, and sanitizing do not require a permit in Lawrence. If a repair involves replacing duct sections or altering the mechanical system, the city’s building department may require a mechanical permit, and we handle that paperwork as part of the written scope.
Yes. Most of Lawrence’s retrofitted runs are reachable from the basement, a closet chase, or through register openings. We camera the full run first and tell you in writing what’s accessible before any work begins. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
