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 Dallas
Air duct cleaning in Dallas costs between $380 and $690 for a typical single-family home, and the job usually takes three to six hours. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning serves every Dallas neighborhood with a written price before any work starts, plus a documented photo record of the inside of your ductwork when we finish. If you’re noticing dust on registers in Lake Highlands, oak pollen recirculating in East Dallas, or a musty smell from attic ducts in Oak Cliff, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule a cleaning on your timeline, not our urgency.
We know Dallas homes because we work inside them year-round. The slab-on-grade construction, the attic duct runs, the relentless cooling season from April through October: all of it shapes how ducts get dirty here and how they need to be cleaned. A crew from CleanRun arrives at your home knowing what to expect before the first panel comes off. That’s the difference between a local team and a call center that dispatches whoever’s nearest.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Dallas’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Dallas homeowners tend to research before they commit. They’ve seen the $79 coupon offers and they’ve heard the stories: a tech shows up, waves a camera around, and suddenly the bill is $1,400. CleanRun operates under Haven Standard Clause 1: a written price delivered before any work starts, every time. No exceptions, no “call for a quote” vagueness. You get a number in writing, and that number does not move once our truck is in your driveway.
Tomas Reyes, who leads CleanRun, established the company in 2013 with a simple rule: show the customer what you found, then show them what you did about it. Every job concludes with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after. You see the debris we removed, the joints we sealed, the duct board we replaced. If you ever have a question about whether the work was real, the photos answer it. That practice has carried CleanRun through more than 52,000 homes, and it’s why our local reputation in Dallas is built on verifiable results rather than advertising copy.
We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate. Bring us a competitor’s quote for air duct cleaning in Dallas and we’ll put our own number next to it, in writing, with a scope of work you can compare line by line. If our number is higher, we’ll explain exactly why. If it’s lower, you’ll see what the other company was charging for.
Every CleanRun technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. Our crews carry Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies equipment, and they know the failure patterns specific to Dallas attics. That matters when the fix involves more than just running a vacuum through the registers.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Dallas
Residential Duct Cleaning
Residential duct cleaning in Dallas means cleaning the full duct system: supply runs, return runs, trunk lines, and the plenum, which is the central box where ducts meet your furnace or air handler. We use negative-pressure extraction, which means the system is placed under suction while agitation tools loosen debris from the duct walls. The debris is pulled into a HEPA-filtered collection unit, not blown through your living room. For Dallas homes with attic flex duct, we inspect every connection at the start collar and takeoff because that’s where clay-soil foundation movement tends to open gaps.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Commercial spaces in Dallas, from storefronts along Greenville Avenue to offices in Far North Dallas, accumulate a different kind of debris load: paper dust, carpet fibers, and the fine construction dust that drifts through Dallas’s building boom. We clean commercial systems on a schedule that works for the business, with a written scope and photo documentation per NADCA-style protocols. Building managers often request our Commercial service after tenant complaints about dust on desks or a persistent stale odor from ceiling diffusers.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts are the runs that carry conditioned air from your HVAC unit to each room’s registers. In Dallas, they’re almost always in the attic, which means they absorb heat during the summer and pull from attic air whenever a joint separates. A supply duct cleaning focuses on these runs specifically, removing dust, insulation fibers, and pollen that has been pushed through the system during the long cooling season. We photograph each run so you can see the difference. This is the service most Dallas homeowners need first.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts carry air back to the HVAC unit to be reconditioned. In many older Dallas homes, return air travels through wall cavities or panned floor joists rather than dedicated ductwork, especially in 1960s and 1970s ranch-style houses in Lake Highlands and Oak Cliff. That construction style pulls air across wood, insulation, and whatever else is in the cavity, then recirculates it. Our return duct cleaning addresses those cavities along with the dedicated return runs, and our video inspection shows you exactly what the camera finds inside.

BeforeAfterCommon Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Dallas Homes
Dallas has one problem we see more than any other city in Texas: flex duct disconnections caused by expansive clay soil. Here’s how it plays out. Your home sits on a slab. Beneath that slab is black clay that swells when it rains and shrinks during drought. The slab heaves and settles, year after year. The ductwork is in the attic, connected to the ceiling registers, and as the structure shifts, the flex duct pulls loose at the metal start collars and takeoffs. Now attic air is being sucked directly into your living space, carrying loose-fill insulation, rodent dander, and whatever else is up there. This is not a rare occurrence in Dallas. It’s common enough that our crews carry extra flex, mastic, and metal tape on every single job.
- Clay-soil foundation movement separating attic duct joints. Dallas sits on some of the most expansive black clay in North America. When the slab moves, the ducts stressed to the ceiling above it move too. Gaps open, attic air enters, and those gaps will not close on their own. A cleaning alone will not fix this. The joint has to be reseated and sealed before the cleaning means anything.
- Clogged blower wheels and evaporator coils coated with clay dust. Cracked slab foundations let fine clay dust into the home’s air, and that dust gets pulled through the return side and deposited on the blower wheel and evaporator coil. After thousands of hours of run time during Dallas’s April-to-October cooling season, that coating reduces airflow and efficiency. Duct cleaning should include inspection of these components.
- Brittle fiberglass duct board in older homes. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s in neighborhoods like Lake Highlands and Oak Cliff often retain original fiberglass duct board. After decades of 140°F+ attic summers, that board becomes brittle. It sheds fibers into the airstream and can collapse internally. When we find this, we show you the photos and recommend replacement, not just cleaning, because cleaning brittle duct board can dislodge more fibers than it removes.
- Pollen and allergen loading from Dallas’s allergen calendar. Ashe juniper in winter, oak and elm in spring, ragweed in fall: Dallas has one of the most aggressive allergen schedules in the region. Pollen gets drawn into the return side, settles in the ductwork, and recirculates during the long cooling season. For homeowners with allergies, clean ducts are not a luxury. They’re the difference between a manageable spring and a miserable one.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Dallas, TX
Here are the numbers, in writing, the way CleanRun does it on every job. A single-family home under 2,500 square feet in Dallas typically runs $380 to $550 for a full system cleaning. A larger home of 2,500 to 4,000 square feet, especially with multiple HVAC systems, runs $550 to $690. A commercial space or a home with extensive flex-duct repair work will be priced based on the written scope, and you’ll see that scope before anything is signed. A full Air Duct Cleaning scope in Dallas includes supply runs, return runs, trunk lines, the plenum, and a documented photo record. Detached workshops or guest houses add $120 to $200 depending on their size and duct layout. Wood heat stoves with connected ductwork add another $80 to $150 because of creosote particulate that requires different handling.

What affects cost in Dallas specifically? Attic access. Flex-duct condition. Whether foundation movement has already opened joints that need sealing. Our written estimate accounts for all of it, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate on your Dallas home. Estimates are free.
Trusted Brands We Service in Dallas
Our crews work with Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies extraction equipment, plus Guardsman and Nikro tools for detailed register and plenum work. We stock replacement flex duct, mastic, and metal tape on the truck, which matters in Dallas because the fix for a disconnected joint should happen the same day we find it. If your home’s system includes a Honeywell or Aprilaire media cabinet or filtration component, our techs know how to clean and reassemble those properly without voiding the manufacturer’s service guidance. You can look up any of these brands independently before we arrive. We prefer you do.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Dallas
Dallas sits on expansive black clay soil that swells and shrinks with seasonal moisture, which causes slab foundations to heave and settle constantly. Since virtually every Dallas home is slab-on-grade with no basement, all ductwork runs through the attic, connected directly to ceiling registers in that moving slab. The movement pulls flex duct apart at the metal start collars and takeoffs, opening gaps that pull attic insulation and debris into the living space. Cities with stable soils or basement duct routes don’t see this pattern nearly as often. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll inspect your attic duct connections with a camera before recommending any cleaning scope.
Every three to four years is the realistic interval for homes on unpaved roads or open land around Dallas. The dust from a gravel or caliche road is finer than city dust, and it gets drawn into the return side every time a vehicle passes or the wind kicks up. That fine particulate coats the blower wheel and evaporator coil faster than in a paved subdivision. If you run your AC from April through October with windows closed, the system is pulling that dust thousands of hours a year. Our crews recommend a video inspection to establish a baseline. The $90 to $150 inspection tells you whether you need cleaning now or can wait a year. Estimates for the cleaning itself are free at (806) 606-6902.
It does. Wood stoves and fireplaces produce fine particulate that behaves differently than ordinary house dust. Unlike pollen or skin cells, wood particulate can carry a slight creosote residue, especially if the stove is used regularly through the winter. That residue adheres to duct walls and attracts more dust, forming a layer that a standard agitation cleaning may not fully remove. Our crew uses a different tool set and adds a dedicated cleaning pass for wood-heat particulate, which costs $80 to $150 more depending on the system. If you burn wood regularly in a rural Dallas home, tell us when you call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll include it in the written quote.
Yes. The same Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies equipment we use for a main house works in a detached workshop, garage apartment, or guest house. The main variable is duct length and the number of runs. Detached buildings in Dallas often have shorter runs, which makes cleaning easier, but they can also have more critter intrusion because attics in outbuildings are less sealed. We photograph every run we clean, including in the outbuilding, and the photo record is part of the standard deliverable. Adding a detached building to a main-house cleaning typically costs $120 to $200.
The most common hidden problem we find is collapsed or kinked flex duct that was installed with too little slack and has been stressed by years of slab movement. In East Dallas near White Rock Lake, our crew traced a persistent dust smell to a kinked flex-duct run in an attic where summer heat had softened the plastic until the duct collapsed. The soil movement had already pulled apart two joints. We replaced the run with extra slack, sealed every connection with mastic, and ran a full NADCA-style negative-pressure cleaning with HEPA filtration on both supply and return sides. The homeowner reported the house finally held temperature and the dust on registers dropped noticeably within a week. In older homes around Oak Cliff and Lake Highlands, we check for this on every job. If your Dallas home has never had its attic duct connections inspected, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put eyes on it with a camera during the estimate.
