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 Davis
Air duct cleaning in Davis typically runs $380-$620 for a full system on a single-story tract home, and the job is usually finished the same day. We’re the crew Davis homeowners call when registers start coating with Yolo County chaff or a 40-year-old flex run finally lets go. Every job starts with a written price and ends with a camera inside every duct run, so you can see what was actually removed. Call (806) 606-6902 and a live person answers, 24/7.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Davis’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve worked enough homes between South Davis, East Davis, and the older Village Homes tracts to know what lives inside these ducts. Original flex ductwork from the 1960s through 1990s, long runs through unconditioned crawlspaces, and tenant turnover that stretches cleaning intervals to a decade or more. That’s the normal job here, not the exception.
Davis homeowners tend to research before they call. They want the written price, the documented photo record, and the name of the technician who’ll show up. That’s the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, led by Tomas Reyes, and it’s how we’ve operated since 2013. We don’t do coupon bait. We do a written scope, a flat price per system, and before-and-after photos delivered as part of the standard job record.
Tomas Reyes runs every Davis job through the same lens: if the camera shows a disconnected wye under a South Davis crawlspace, the fix is sealing and reconnection, not just suction. That’s why Davis customers keep our number. Not because we’re fast, but because the record shows what was actually done.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Davis
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Davis homes we clean are single-story tract houses built between 1965 and 1995, with original flex duct runs through unconditioned crawlspaces. Those runs sag, disconnect at wyes, and pull crawlspace dust and harvest chaff past the filter. Our residential cleaning combines source removal with negative pressure and HEPA filtration, then documents every run with the camera.
Full System Cleaning
Full system work means supply and return runs, the plenum, the blower cabinet, and the registers. In Davis, we treat this as the default recommendation for homes that haven’t been cleaned in five or more years or that show chaff coating at the return grilles. The plenum in older Davis homes often holds a decade of fine Yolo County particulate that a vent-only cleaning never touches.
Video Inspection
Before we write a price, we run a camera. In Davis this matters more than most places because the real problem is often structural, not just dirty. A crushed flex run under a South Davis off Cowell Boulevard crawlspace reads on camera as a collapsed gray tube. The written estimate then reflects what the camera found, not a guess. Video inspection is included in every full system job.
Supply and Return Duct Cleaning
The return side in Davis homes does the most damage. Return ducts pull air from the living space back to the furnace, and when those runs are disconnected in the crawlspace, they pull crawlspace dirt, chaff, and rodent debris directly across the blower motor. Supply ducts then redistribute whatever the filter missed. We clean both, separately, and photograph both.
Our broader Air Duct Cleaning service covers dryer vents and HVAC components, but on a Davis tract home, the duct runs themselves are usually where the documented problems live.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Davis
Davis homes run equipment across the spectrum, from original builder-grade furnaces to newer Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration setups. We service ductwork connected to all of them. For homes with older blower cabinets and no filtration beyond a basic fiberglass panel, we’ll point out what we see and quote the cleaning work accordingly. Our trucks carry trade-standard equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, so the extraction is real negative air, not a shop-vac at a register.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Davis Homes
- Sagged and disconnected flex ducts in unconditioned crawlspaces. The original gray flex in 1970s South Davis and East Davis homes loses its shape over decades, disconnects at wyes, and lets crawlspace dust and harvest debris bypass the filter entirely.
- Decade-long buildup in student rentals. When a Davis rental turns over every fall, the ducts rarely get touched. We’ve pulled blackened blower motors out of homes near the UC Davis campus that had airflow reduced to a whisper, right when the Delta Breeze pushes more particulate through open-intake systems.
- October rice chaff coating registers. The Yolo County harvest haze settles over Davis every fall. Homeowners notice fine chaff on the registers, call for a cleaning, and we find the real story is a disconnected return pulling it all in from the crawlspace.
- Crushed runs under pier-and-beam foundations. Older Davis homes with crawlspace access often have flex duct crushed by stored belongings or sagging joists. Cleaning a crushed run is pointless until it’s reconnected or replaced. We’ll show you the camera footage before we write that recommendation.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Davis, CA
A full system cleaning on a single-story Davis tract home runs $380-$620 depending on the number of runs and the condition of the plenum. Two-story or larger custom homes near Mace Ranch typically land between $550-$850. Video inspection is included. If the camera finds disconnected or crushed runs, we quote the sealing or replacement work separately, in writing, before any work starts.
We don’t quote per vent and we don’t run a low teaser number that balloons once the van is parked. Haven Standard Clause 1: written price before any work begins. That’s the whole point. If you have a written estimate from another company, bring it. We’ll put our number next to it, free.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Davis
Because Davis sits directly surrounded by active Yolo County agricultural fields with no suburban buffer. During the rice, tomato, and sunflower harvests, the air carries fine chaff and crop dust that HVAC intakes pull straight into the ductwork. Neighboring Sacramento is insulated by miles of development; Davis is not. The chaff on your registers is the visible fraction of what’s inside the runs. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you the camera footage before recommending anything.
Every 3-5 years is realistic. These homes have long flex runs through unconditioned crawlspaces that sag and collect debris faster than rigid metal ducting. If the home has never had the flex inspected, schedule a video inspection first. Cleaning alone won’t fix a disconnected wye, and Davis’s harvest cycles will refill the runs fast. For an exact price on your home, call (806) 606-6902; the estimate is free and written.
Yes. We work inside the mechanical space and at the registers, not in living areas. Most cleaning jobs run four to six hours, and we can schedule around tenant work or class hours. Property managers in Davis often book us in August before the fall turnover, because once the October rice harvest haze hits, the chaff complaint calls start. Call (806) 606-6902 to lock a date before the season.
It contributes. The afternoon Delta Breeze pushes agricultural pollens and fine particulate westward through Davis, and homes with open-intake windows or older HVAC systems pull that air through the return side. Combined with the harvest cycle, Davis ductwork accumulates fine particulate faster than Sacramento’s urban core. The fix is sealing the runs, not just cleaning them more often. We’ll show you the leak on camera. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
Replacement or reconnection, depending on what the camera shows. If a run is sagged but intact, we can reconnect it at the wye and seal the joints with mastic. If it’s crushed flat or torn, the run needs replacement; cleaning a collapsed duct does nothing. We’ll give you the written price for either option before any work starts. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll schedule a video inspection.
