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 Atlanta
Air duct cleaning in Atlanta typically costs $425-$890 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in four to seven hours.

CleanRun has cleaned ducts in every corner of Atlanta, from Buckhead high-rises to 1960s ranches in Kirkwood, and we quote a written price before any panel comes off. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and we don’t make exceptions for anyone. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a number in writing.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Atlanta’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Atlanta homeowners researching duct cleaning tend to ask the same question first: how do I know the work actually happened? We answer it with a Documented Photo Record on every visit. The inside of every duct run is photographed before and after, so you see the difference between extraction and noise. We’ve done this since 2013, across more than 52,000 homes, and every single job included a written price before work started. No exceptions.
Tomas Reyes, who owns CleanRun, built the company around a simple premise: the duct cleaning industry has a bait-and-switch problem, and the fix is evidence. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and named before they arrive. They carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Abatement Technologies, and Nikro. They show you the before photo before they say a word about what needs to happen next. That’s the standard we bring to every neighborhood in Atlanta, from Sandy Springs to East Atlanta.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Atlanta
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Atlanta homes we service have between 10 and 25 duct runs. We clean the full system: supply ducts, return ducts, the plenum, and registers. Homes in Atlanta’s older in-town neighborhoods, think Decatur or Candler Park, often have retrofitted ductwork with poor sealing at the joints, which means particulate collects in places a standard blowout misses. We document what we find.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Offices, medical suites, and retail spaces across Atlanta present different access challenges: drop ceilings, long horizontal runs, and scheduling around business hours. We’ve cleaned commercial systems in Midtown towers and strip centers in Chamblee. Every job gets the same written price and the same photo record, whether it’s a 12-run office or a 3-story mixed-use building.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Atlanta’s humid climate, warm moisture-laden air moving through these runs creates condensation conditions that sustain mold growth, especially during the long cooling season from May through September. We clean supply runs with negative-pressure extraction and agitation tools, then photograph the result.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the HVAC unit. In Atlanta, the ‘City in a Forest’ pollen load means return-air intakes get hammered every spring. Peak pine, oak, and sweet gum saturation can last for weeks, and that pollen pours into return runs, mixing with humidity to form a sticky biofilm that hardened debris clings to. We clean return runs thoroughly and show you the camera feed before and after.
Full System Cleaning
This is the service most Atlanta homeowners need. We clean every duct run, the supply and return plenums, the blower compartment, and all registers. Full system cleaning takes four to seven hours on a typical Atlanta home. The written price covers the entire system, not a per-vent rate that adds up fast.
Video Inspection
Before we clean, we send a camera through the ducts. In Atlanta, this matters more than in most metros. A 1990s home in Marietta or Roswell might have flex duct sagging or kinked inside the attic chase, packed with pollen and mold that a blowout can’t clear. Video inspection finds it. Then we show you what we saw and quote a price that includes fixing it.

Our Atlanta customers receive a written scope that names the equipment, the process, and the final price, all before work begins.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Atlanta Homes
- Collapsed flex duct in 1990s northern suburbs. Homes built between the mid-1980s and early 2000s in Cobb, Gwinnett, Cherokee, and Forsyth counties often have flexible duct routed through attics that hit 150°F+ in summer. The liner degrades, the duct sags, and debris packs into the kinked section.
- Pollen-heavy biofilm inside return runs. Atlanta’s dense tree canopy produces pollen counts among the highest recorded in any U.S. city. That pollen mixes with summer humidity inside ducts and creates a sticky layer that traps dust, fiberglass particles, and mold spores.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in condo buildings. Many Atlanta condo towers route dryer vents through a shared stack. Lint from multiple units converges and creates a fire risk beyond what any single dryer trap catches. We clean the full stack, not just the unit-level connection.
- Restricted parking and equipment access in high-rises. Cleaning ducts in a Buckhead or Midtown high-rise means coordinating with building management, securing freight elevator access, and keeping equipment within designated loading zones. If a company doesn’t plan for this, appointments get missed.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Atlanta, GA
A full residential air duct cleaning in Atlanta typically runs $425-$890, depending on system size, access conditions, and what the camera finds. Condo units in high-rise buildings generally fall on the lower end, $300-$550. Homes with collapsed flex duct runs that require repair before cleaning, common in Marietta and Smyrna, can run higher because the duct section must be physically repositioned or replaced. We don’t quote per-vent rates. We quote one flat price per system, in writing, before any work starts. Commercial systems are priced per job based on square footage and duct run count. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate, and we’ll bring a camera.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Atlanta
Atlanta’s spring pollen season, driven by the city’s dense urban tree canopy, pushes pollen counts to levels most U.S. metros never record. During peak weeks of pine, oak, and sweet gum saturation, pollen pours into return-air intakes and coats the inside of return ducts. When that pollen mixes with Atlanta’s persistent summer humidity, it forms a sticky biofilm that traps dust and supports mold growth. Homeowners in Atlanta should expect a heavier organic load inside their ducts than homeowners in drier or less forested cities, and that means cleaning should be scheduled after peak pollen season if you want the result to last. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule a video inspection first.
Homes built during the suburban build-out in Cobb, Gwinnett, Cherokee, and Forsyth counties often have flexible duct systems running through unconditioned attics that exceed 150°F in summer. The heat degrades the duct liner, the duct sags and kinks near the supply plenum, and debris packs into the collapsed section. A standard blowout can’t clear a kinked duct because the airflow never reaches the packed debris. The duct section has to be physically repositioned or replaced before cleaning can be effective. We find this in roughly a third of the 1990s northern suburb homes we inspect. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you the camera feed before we quote a price.
Yes. We coordinate with building management, secure freight elevator access, and bring equipment that fits through standard condo doorways. Restricted parking is a scheduling issue, not a service limitation. We’ve cleaned units in Buckhead, Midtown, and Sandy Springs towers where loading zones are tight and building rules are strict. The written price includes whatever access coordination is required, so there’s no surprise charge when the building requires a certificate of insurance. Call (806) 606-6902 and tell us the building name and your unit number.
In many Atlanta condo buildings, dryer vents from multiple units converge into a shared stack that runs vertically through the building. Lint from every unit accumulates inside that stack, and no single dryer trap catches it. That creates a fire risk that belongs to the building, not to any one owner. Cleaning a shared stack requires access to the roof or the mechanical chase, which means building management has to be involved. We handle that coordination and document the before and after with photos of the stack interior. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote on stack cleaning.
Yes. Atlanta’s humid subtropical climate means HVAC systems run nearly continuously from May through September, pulling warm, moisture-laden air through the ductwork. That sustains condensation conditions inside the ducts, which is exactly what mold needs to grow. In drier Sun Belt metros like Phoenix or Las Vegas, ducts dry out between cycles. In Atlanta, they often don’t. The result is a measurably higher mold load in Atlanta duct systems, especially in homes where the ductwork runs through humid crawl spaces or unconditioned basements. The fix is a full system cleaning with sanitizing, documented with before and after photos. Call (806) 606-6902 for an estimate.
If you’re in Atlanta and you want to see what’s actually inside your ducts, call (806) 606-6902. We’ll send a camera through first. Then we’ll put a written price in front of you. No coupons, no per-vent math, no surprises.
