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 Clinton Township
Air duct cleaning in Clinton Township typically costs between $450 and $900 for a full residential system, and most jobs are completed in a single four-to-six-hour visit. The price depends more on what’s inside your ducts than on square footage alone. If you live near Lake St. Clair, your ductwork is working against a humidity load that inland Macomb County homes don’t face, and that changes what a real cleaning requires. Our crews know the difference between a cosmetic vacuum pass and source removal on a 1960s ranch with under-slab duct runs. Call (806) 606-6902 and you’ll get a written price before a single panel comes off.
We’re CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard. Since 2013, we’ve documented every duct run we’ve touched with before-and-after photos. That record is yours, not ours. For homeowners in Clinton Township, that documentation matters more than most people realize until they see what’s actually inside their supply plenum.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Clinton Township’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Clinton Township has a specific housing stock problem that most national duct cleaning franchises never account for. The township’s eastern half, particularly the Jefferson Avenue and Lakeshore Drive corridor, sits on lake-proximate land where 1955-1985 ranch homes were built with under-slab or low-clearance basement plenum systems. Those designs were never meant to handle Lake St. Clair’s ambient humidity. The result is a failure mode our technicians see on a weekly basis: standing water inside duct runs, deteriorated fiberglass liner flaking into registers, and biofilm growth that a standard filter swap does nothing to address.
We’ve worked in subdivisions around Partridge Creek, along Hall Road, and through the neighborhoods off Garfield and 15 Mile. Our crews arrive in Clinton Township with more than a vacuum. Each technician is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3, and every job starts with a written scope and price under Clause 1. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing before we touch your system, and you’ll have a photo record proving it happened when we leave.
We don’t ask you to take our word for any of this. Tomas Reyes, who leads our operations, has built CleanRun around a simple position: if we can’t show you a photo of the debris we removed, we didn’t remove it. That’s the H.A.V.E.N. Standard in practice. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work isn’t right, we make it right, in writing, on every job.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Clinton Township
Every home in Clinton Township has a different duct configuration, which is why we scope each job individually. Here’s what we actually do, and where it matters most for this area.
Full System Cleaning
A full system clean in Clinton Township covers every supply run, every return run, the trunk lines, the plenum, and the air handler. In the township’s 1960s-1980s ranch stock, that often means working inside low-clearance basement plenums filled with decades of pet dander, wood-stove ash, and pollen blown in from unpaved township roads. We use negative-pressure extraction equipment from Abatement Technologies, following the source-removal protocol rather than a brush-and-blow pass. The goal isn’t to knock debris loose and hope it collects somewhere else. It’s to carry it out of the house entirely.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Clinton Township homes carry a heavier load than return ducts because they’re closer to the debris source: the under-slab penetrations, the crawlspace access points, and the lake-driven moisture that condenses inside sheet metal. When we clean supply runs, we camera-inspect each one before we agitate, because the failure mode on a 1968 under-slab plenum isn’t dust. It’s water. Our camera shows the homeowner what’s there before we decide what to do about it.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts are where Clinton Township’s rural dust accumulates fastest. Homes off dirt roads and open fields pull in silt that reaches the return side first, then gets distributed through the supply side on every cycle. We clean return runs with the same documented photo record as supply runs. If your return side is fiberglass-lined, we’ll show you whether that liner is still intact or needs sealing.
Video Inspection
We don’t clean what we haven’t seen. Every Clinton Township job includes a video inspection, and we show you the footage. For under-slab systems, this is the only way to know whether you have a cleaning problem or a groundwater problem. The two look different on camera, and they require different work. Our inspection is included with every full system cleaning, not sold as an add-on.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Clinton Township
Our crews work on a range of system components common in Clinton Township’s older homes. You’ll see Honeywell controls, Aprilaire filtration units, and Abatement Technologies extraction gear on our trucks. We’re also trained on Guardsman sanitizing applications for post-clean treatment. We don’t push a brand for its own sake, but if your system uses Aprilaire media filters or Honeywell zoning controls, our technicians know how those integrate with the ductwork we’re cleaning. We keep replacement parts for common Clinton Township configurations on our trucks, which cuts down on return visits when a cleaning reveals a cracked access panel or a failed seal.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Clinton Township Homes
- Standing water in under-slab supply plenums. The 1960s concrete slab construction common near the Lakeshore Drive corridor wicks groundwater through penetrations, and Lake St. Clair’s humidity keeps that moisture from drying. Our camera finds water in ducts that have never leaked visibly into the living space.
- Deteriorated fiberglass duct liner flaking into supply registers. Original liner in 1955-1985 ranch homes breaks down after five or six decades. The gray particles you see on your vent covers aren’t household dust - they’re liner material, and they defeat even high MERV filtration.
- Biofilm inside return runs from lake-driven humidity. Inland Macomb County homes don’t see this. Clinton Township homes do. The consistent moisture environment near the lake supports microbial growth that a seasonal filter change cannot address.
- Pet dander and wood-stove ash layered inside low-clearance basement plenums. Many Clinton Township homes were built by Detroit autoworker families who ran wood heat and kept dogs. The plenum under the basement is where all of that settled, and it doesn’t leave on its own.
The recurring theme here is water. Clinton Township’s direct Lake St. Clair frontage pushes ambient humidity high enough to condense inside under-slab duct runs, a condition inland cities like Sterling Heights simply don’t experience. Those 1960s ranch homes with below-grade plenums are orders of magnitude more likely to harbor standing water and mold than a same-era home six miles west. That’s not a marketing claim. It’s what our camera shows us every week.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Clinton Township, MI
Here’s what a realistic price looks like in Clinton Township, based on the homes we actually see here.
| Service | Clinton Township Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full System Cleaning (single-family ranch or split-level) | $450 - $900 |
| Supply Duct Cleaning (supply runs only) | $250 - $450 |
| Return Duct Cleaning (return runs only) | $200 - $400 |
| Video Inspection (standalone) | $95 - $150 |
| Full System Cleaning with Sanitizing | $650 - $1,100 |
What moves the price within these ranges is access and condition. A clean full system with standard registers and an accessible basement plenum lands at the lower end. An under-slab system with standing water, deteriorated liner, or a plenum that requires crawlspace access lands higher, because the work is different. It’s source removal and moisture mitigation, not a vacuum pass. We give you the written number before any work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No teaser rates, no per-vent pricing games. One flat price per system, in writing, before we open a panel. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, bring it. We’ll put our number next to it in writing, at no cost.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Clinton Township
Most Clinton Township homes should be cleaned every three to four years, not the five-to-seven-year interval you’ll see quoted for inland communities. The lake-proximate humidity and the dust load from unpaved township roads shorten that cycle meaningfully. If you have pets, wood heat, or a 1960s ranch with original fiberglass liner, aim for three years, and pair the cleaning with a video inspection so you know whether moisture is accumulating between visits. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll scope your home’s interval based on what the camera actually shows.
Under-slab ducts hold water because the concrete penetrations around the duct runs allow groundwater seepage, and Lake St. Clair’s humidity prevents that water from evaporating. Cleaning alone removes the biofilm and debris the water creates, but it does not stop the seepage. We’ll tell you that before we start. If our video inspection finds standing water, the job changes: source removal, slab crack sealing, and re-lining the run with a sanitizing fog. That’s the H.A.V.E.N. Standard’s version of honest work. A crew that vacuums the water and leaves won’t fix anything.
In Clinton Township’s late-spring-through-early-fall humidity, cleaned ducts typically need 24 to 48 hours to fully dry after sanitizing treatment, assuming the HVAC system runs normally. That’s longer than inland cities experience, and it’s why we schedule sanitizing applications for early morning when relative humidity is lowest. We’ll give you a written drying expectation with your job record, so you don’t wonder whether the residual moisture you feel on day two is normal. It is.
Yes. Wood heat produces fine ash that behaves differently from household dust. It’s lighter, it moves further through the system, and it adheres to moisture inside the ductwork, which Clinton Township has in abundance. In homes that burned wood for a decade, we often find a hardened ash layer inside the return plenum that a simple vacuum can’t lift. That’s why we use rotary agitation and negative-pressure extraction on wood-heat homes, and why the photo record matters: you’ll see the difference between what was there and what’s left. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll scope your job honestly.
No. A high-MERV filter catches particulates at the filter location, but it does nothing for debris already built up inside your supply and return runs, and it does nothing for standing water or deteriorated fiberglass liner. In fact, some Clinton Township homes see reduced airflow when a high-MERV filter is added to a system already restricted by debris load. The filter is downstream protection. Cleaning is source removal. The two serve different purposes, and in this township’s housing stock, you typically need both, not one or the other.
Here’s the thing our customers consistently tell us they wish they’d known earlier: Clinton Township’s lake-driven humidity and 1960s slab construction are doing something specific inside your ducts right now, and it isn’t the same problem a filter-change reminder assumes. It’s water. It’s deteriorated liner. It’s biofilm. And none of it shows up until someone puts a camera inside and shows you the photograph. That’s the job. That’s what we do.
Call (806) 606-6902 for a free, written estimate. We answer the phone with a live person, and you’ll have a price before anything gets touched. If the price doesn’t fit, you’ll still have the information you need to compare honestly. That’s the CleanRun way, and it’s been that way since our first job in 2013.
