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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Dunwoody’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve pulled enough registers in this city to know exactly what hides behind them. Dunwoody’s housing stock isn’t like Roswell’s or Johns Creek’s. The homes here went up fast during the Perimeter Center boom, and many still carry the original fiberglass duct board from 1979 or 1983. That means a cleaning call in Dunwoody is rarely just a cleaning call. It’s an inspection that usually finds delamination, fiber shedding, or a trunk line that should have been replaced a decade ago.
Homeowners in Dunwoody don’t want a $79 coupon that turns into a $900 invoice once the van is in the driveway. They want the actual number, on paper, before work begins. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and we’ve held to it since 2013. Every one of the 52,000+ homes we’ve served got a written price first. No exceptions, no “it depends on what we find.” We tell you what we’ll do and what it costs, then we do it.
When we finish a job in Dunwoody, you don’t take our word for the work. You get a documented photo record of every duct run, inside, before and after. If the camera found a three-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, you’ll see that elbow before we touched it and after we cleared it. That’s been our standard deliverable since day one, and it’s why Dunwoody homeowners keep our number.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Dunwoody
We don’t do one-size-fits-all cleanings. The ducts in a 1982 split-level on Vermack Road are different from those in a 1995 two-story colonial near Kingsley or a stacked condominium unit off Perimeter Center West. Here’s what we actually do in Dunwoody, depending on what you’ve got.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Dunwoody homes we service are ranches, split-levels, or two-story colonials built between 1975 and 1995. The supply and return runs in these houses often use original fiberglass duct board trunk lines, and they collect pollen at a rate we rarely see in newer suburbs. Our residential cleaning includes a full camera inspection before and after, negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, and a written photo record you keep.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Perimeter Center and the office parks along Ashford Dunwoody Road and Peachtree Dunwoody Road put a lot of commercial square footage in play. We clean ducts in medical offices, restaurant kitchens, and retail spaces, but we schedule around your hours, not ours. A commercial cleaning in Dunwoody means we’ll be in and out before your doors open or after they close, and you’ll get the same documented photo record as a residential job.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Dunwoody homes carry conditioned air to each room, and in older Perimeter-era builds they’re frequently lined with delaminating fiberglass board. When that liner peels, the facing travels downstream and clogs supply grilles. Our techs clean the full supply run from plenum to register, removing debris at the source rather than just vacuuming the visible grille.
Return Duct Cleaning
Dunwoody’s tree canopy is among the thickest of any Atlanta suburb, which means return-air intakes pull in heavy loads of oak and pine pollen every spring. The return side of a system is under negative pressure, so it pulls from hallways, crawlspaces, and anywhere air leaks in. We clean the entire return path and, where we find disconnected or crushed return runs, we point it out on camera so you can decide what’s next.
Video Inspection
Every Dunwoody job starts with a video inspection. We don’t guess. The camera goes into each run, and we look for what’s actually there: delaminated board, debris at elbows, mold, abandoned flex runs. You see the footage before we recommend anything. If the ducts are clean, we’ll tell you that too, and you won’t pay for a cleaning you don’t need.
Full System Cleaning
This is the job for homes in Dunwoody Club Forest, Dunwoody North, and other 1980s neighborhoods where the entire duct system is original. We clean supply and return runs, the plenum, the blower compartment, and the evaporator coil. In homes with failing duct board, this is also the visit where we show you exactly why a replacement makes more sense than another cleaning.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dunwoody’s condominium buildings and townhome communities frequently share dryer vent stacks through a common chase. Cleaning only your unit’s lint trap doesn’t touch the ten or twenty feet of communal run packed with lint below it. We clean the full accessible run and document it, which matters when you’re talking to an HOA about who’s responsible for the shared sections.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Dunwoody
The work we do in Dunwoody uses equipment from Rotobrush, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman. These aren’t rent-a-machine brands you’ve never heard of. Rotobrush is the agitation and extraction system we run under negative pressure. Abatement Technologies makes the HEPA filtration units that keep the dust we pull out of your ducts from landing on your sofa. Guardsman provides the sanitizing and deodorizing treatments we apply when the camera shows biological growth. Look them up. We want you to know what’s in the truck before you sign a written scope.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Dunwoody Homes
- Fiberglass duct board delamination. The 1979-era board in Dunwoody ranches and split-levels eventually lets go of its interior facing. The liner peels into sheets, travels down the run, and blocks supply grilles. This isn’t normal dust, and no amount of vacuuming fixes it.
- Spring pollen loading at return intakes. Dunwoody’s oak and pine canopy drops enormous pollen loads each spring, and returns near entry halls pull it in constantly. If your filters clog every three weeks in April and May, your return runs are handling far more than they should.
- Shared dryer vent stacks. In Perimeter-area condos, one unit’s dryer vents through a stack that serves several floors. Lint you can’t see below your unit is still a fire and airflow risk, and it’s a mess standard single-family cleanings ignore.
- Condensate and biological growth on old duct board. Atlanta’s humid subtropical climate means moisture gets into under-sealed duct systems year-round. On porous fiberglass board, that moisture supports mold colonization you can smell before you see it.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody, GA
A straightforward residential duct cleaning in Dunwoody runs $450-$650 for a typical three-to-four-bedroom home with one system. Larger homes with two systems and extensive duct runs run $650-$850. Condominium units in Perimeter-area buildings often fall between $350 and $500, though shared-vent coordination with an HOA can add scheduling time, not price. Commercial spaces start around $700 and go up based on square footage and access. What you won’t see from us is a per-vent price or a teaser coupon. You get one flat price per system, written down before the job starts. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you the number for your house.
How Dunwoody’s Perimeter-Era Housing Affects Your Ducts
Dunwoody’s residential build-out happened fast. When Perimeter Center’s office corridor boomed along I-285 in the late 1970s and 1980s, the surrounding neighborhoods were built to absorb the workforce, and builders used what was fast and cheap: fiberglass duct board. That board is now 40 to 50 years old, and in many Dunwoody homes it’s failing in ways that newer sheet-metal systems don’t. The interior facing delaminates. The porous surface traps pollen and biological growth. And when we pull a register in a home in Dunwoody Club Forest, we often find the board itself has become the contamination source.
Neighboring suburbs like Sandy Springs and Johns Creek have a bigger share of newer construction with sealed metal ducts. Dunwoody doesn’t. That’s why a cleaning call here regularly turns into a replacement conversation, and why we run a video inspection before anything else. On one Dunwoody Club Forest cul-de-sac, our tech pulled a supply register and found the 1979-era fiberglass board liner peeling in sheets, clogging the branch run. We ran the camera, then used Rotobrush agitation tools under negative pressure with HEPA filtration to clear the delaminated facing and downstream debris. The homeowner saw the video and upgraded to sealed sheet-metal trunk lines the same week. That’s what a real Dunwoody job looks like.
Condo and Apartment Scheduling in Dunwoody
If you live in a Perimeter-area condominium or townhome, your Air Duct Cleaning appointment has extra moving parts. Duct chases in these buildings are often shared, and one unit’s return run may sit directly against a neighbor’s supply run. Access panels are sometimes in common areas, which means building management or the HOA needs to grant entry. We handle that coordination when given the management contact, and our techs are background-checked and uniformed, which most Dunwoody HOAs require before allowing any vendor into shared mechanical spaces. What you won’t get is a skipped appointment or a half-finished job because the drill couldn’t reach the chase. We bring the equipment that fits the building, not the other way around.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody
Because the fiberglass duct board installed during Dunwoody’s Perimeter Center building boom is now past its service life, and once the interior liner delaminates, cleaning becomes pointless. The board itself sheds fibers and traps contamination. We’ll show you the video before recommending replacement, and you’ll see exactly what we’re seeing.
HOAs in Perimeter-area buildings often require vendor approval, proof of insurance, and access to shared mechanical chases, which means a cleaning that takes four hours in a house can take a full day or more to coordinate in a condo. We handle the paperwork and coordinate directly with your management office, and the written price doesn’t change because the building has rules. Call (806) 606-6902 with your HOA’s contact information and we’ll get it moving.
Yes. We clean the full accessible run from your dryer connection to the stack, and we’ll document what we find, including lint packed below your unit that you can’t see from your laundry room. If the communal run needs work that falls under HOA responsibility, we’ll put that in writing so you have documentation to take to the board.
Not necessarily, but it means your return system is pulling far more pollen than your filters are catching, and in Dunwoody’s 40-year-old duct board that pollen is working into porous surfaces where it accumulates year after year. A video inspection will show you whether the inside of the return run is clean or loaded. We’ll provide that inspection and tell you honestly if cleaning is warranted.
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the unit to the rooms; return ducts pull room air back to the system from hallways and common areas. In a split-level Dunwoody home, the return side often runs through unconditioned spaces and picks up dust, pollen, and humidity that the supply side then distributes. Both sides need cleaning, but the return side is usually where we find the heaviest contamination. We clean both, and you’ll see both sides on the photo record.
