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 Smyrna, TN
Dryer vent cleaning in Smyrna, TN runs $129-$189 for a standard single-story ranch vent run, and duct repair work in this city is shaped by one thing more than any other: 1960s-1980s ductboard that Cobb County humidity has been saturating for forty years. We work on a high concentration of original systems here, which means the job is rarely just a cleaning. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Smyrna Homes Are Different
Smyrna’s housing stock is dominated by construction from the 1960s through the late 1980s, built during the I-285 expansion and the suburban push along South Cobb Drive and King Springs Road. Most of these are ranch and split-level homes, and a large share still run on their original duct systems: ductboard or early fiberglass-lined metal that was never designed for sealed, high-efficiency operation. In neighborhoods like Belmont Hills and around King Springs, the return-air grilles on these older systems pull air through vented crawl spaces, where Piedmont humidity sits for months at a time. That moisture wicks up into uninsulated duct runs and saturates the ductboard from the outside in. The visible first foot of a duct run may look clean, while eight to ten feet back, the lining has collapsed and holds black mold. Newer townhome and garden-condo communities near Cumberland and Galleria add a second challenge: shared-trunk duct configurations that need a different approach entirely than single-family ranches. Everything we do in Smyrna is shaped by what the camera finds inside these specific systems.
Our Main Smyrna Services
Two services account for most of what Smyrna homeowners call us about: full air duct cleaning and complete HVAC cleaning. Here’s what each involves in this city’s housing stock.
Air Duct Cleaning in Smyrna
Smyrna’s older ductboard runs collect a specific mix of debris: years of Atlanta-area pollen, crawl-space dust pulled through leaky return paths, and in too many cases, mold growth inside the saturated lining. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Smyrna service starts with a camera inspection of the plenum and every accessible run before we quote, so you see exactly what we found and what a documented photo record will show after negative-pressure extraction.
HVAC Cleaning in Smyrna
When the air handler, evaporator coil, and blower assembly sit in a Smyrna crawl space for twenty years, the coil becomes a pollen-and-dust filter that reduces airflow and pushes the system harder through already-compromised ducts. Our HVAC Cleaning in Smyrna service includes coil cleaning, blower service, and a written photo record of the whole HVAC path before and after.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Smyrna
Dryer vent cleaning in Smyrna matters more than most homeowners expect because the same 1960s-1980s ranches with crawl-space duct problems also have long, low-slope dryer vent runs that collect lint faster than they should. Cobb County’s humid summers make that lint damp and heavy, which turns what should be a simple airflow path into a clogged fire hazard by mid-season. We clean and inspect the full vent run, and every job includes our standard before-and-after photo record, as described on our Dryer Vent Cleaning page.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
The dryer takes two or more cycles to dry a normal load, or the exterior vent flap doesn’t open when the dryer runs.
What it costs in Smyrna
A camera inspection of the full vent run in Smyrna runs $49-$89, and it’s waived when you book a full cleaning.
How we do it
We run a flexible camera from the dryer connection point to the exterior termination, photograph every bend and restriction, and show you the images before any cleaning begins.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
Visible lint at the exterior vent, a burning smell during dryer operation, or laundry that comes out hot but damp.
What it costs in Smyrna
Full lint removal in Smyrna runs $129-$189 for a standard single-story vent run, and the written quote includes the total price before we begin.
How we do it
We run a rotating brush and high-CFM negative-pressure extraction through the full vent path, then photograph the clean run and the removed lint pile.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Smyrna
| Item | Typical range in Smyrna |
|---|---|
| Camera inspection only | $49-$89 |
| Standard vent cleaning (single story) | $129-$189 |
| Vent cleaning with bird guard install | $179-$249 |
How often should I clean my dryer vent in Smyrna?
Every 12 to 18 months for a typical Smyrna household, and every 6 to 12 months if your vent run is over 15 feet or has multiple elbows. Older ranches with long crawl-space runs clog faster.
Does Smyrna require a permit for dryer vent cleaning?
No permit is required for cleaning an existing vent. If your vent run is damaged or improperly terminated, we’ll include the repair scope in your written quote.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Smyrna
Duct repair and sealing in Smyrna is where this city’s housing age shows up hardest. Ductboard from the 1970s, installed in vented crawl spaces, absorbs ground moisture until the interior lining separates, collapses, or grows mold. By the time a homeowner notices uneven room temperatures or a musty smell at the registers, the real problem is usually mid-run, not at the visible vent. Our Duct Repair & Sealing work always starts with a camera inspection so we can show you the exact failure point before we quote a repair.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
A collapsed, kinked, or sagging flex duct run, often found in 1980s Smyrna townhomes and ranch additions where original flex duct has degraded.
What it costs in Smyrna
Flex duct replacement or repair in Smyrna typically runs $350-$700 per run, depending on the run length and access.
How we do it
We photograph the failed run, remove it, install a properly sized and supported replacement, and seal every connection with mastic before photographing the finished work.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
High utility bills, weak airflow at far registers, or visible gaps at duct joints in a crawl space or attic.
What it costs in Smyrna
Whole-system mastic sealing in Smyrna runs $600-$1,200 depending on the number of accessible joints and the system size.
How we do it
We locate every accessible joint, apply fiberglass-reinforced mastic sealant to each one, and photograph the sealed joints so the work is documented.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Smyrna
| Item | Typical range in Smyrna |
|---|---|
| Flex duct repair (per run) | $350-$700 |
| Whole-system mastic sealing | $600-$1,200 |
| Duct insulation wrap (per run) | $150-$300 |
Can you seal ducts from the inside in Smyrna?
Yes, aerosol sealant can work for pinhole leaks, but Smyrna’s ductboard systems usually need physical mastic sealing at joints because the failure is structural, not a pinhole. We’ll recommend the approach after the camera inspection.
Why do my Smyrna ducts keep getting mold after cleaning?
If the crawl space stays damp and the ductboard is saturated, mold returns until the duct is replaced or the moisture source is addressed. We’ll show you the moisture reading and the duct condition in your photo record.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Smyrna
Air quality and sanitizing work in Smyrna almost always starts with what the camera finds inside older ducts: mold on saturated ductboard, bacterial buildup on coils, and odor sources that a standard cleaning doesn’t touch. Atlanta’s severe spring pollen seasons load these leakier older systems faster than tighter modern builds, and that organic material is exactly what mold feeds on through a humid Cobb County summer. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service treats what’s actually there, after we show you the photos.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty smell that gets stronger when the HVAC runs, visible dark staining inside a duct run, or allergy symptoms that improve when you’re away from home.
What it costs in Smyrna
Mold treatment in Smyrna runs $500-$1,500 depending on the affected area and whether duct replacement is needed first.
How we do it
We photograph the affected area, apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial, and document the treated surfaces, then recommend replacing any ductboard that’s too far gone to treat.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Persistent cooking, pet, or smoke odors that come back any time the fan runs, even after cleaning.
What it costs in Smyrna
Odor removal treatment in Smyrna runs $300-$600 per system, typically combined with a full cleaning for best results.
How we do it
We identify the source, clean the affected surfaces, and apply an odor-neutralizing treatment at the coil, plenum, and accessible duct runs.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Smyrna
| Item | Typical range in Smyrna |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (per system) | $500-$1,500 |
| Odor removal (per system) | $300-$600 |
| UV light installation | $450-$900 |
Do I need mold treatment or just duct cleaning in Smyrna?
If the camera shows mold inside the ductboard itself, cleaning alone won’t fix it. We’ll show you the photos and give you a written price for the treatment scope, not a guess.
Is the sanitizing treatment safe for kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products applied per manufacturer instructions, and we document exactly what was used in your written job record. The home is safe to occupy after treatment.

What pushes a Smyrna job toward the higher end is almost always access: crawl-space work on a 1970s ranch costs more than a walk-in attic on a newer townhome because of the time and safety equipment involved. Every CleanRun job comes with a written price before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1, so the number in your hand is the number you pay.
