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 Farmington Hills
If you own a home in Farmington Hills built between 1965 and 1990, your ductwork has probably never been seen by anyone. Not cleaned. Seen. Those decades of Michigan heating seasons, renovation dust, and pet dander move through three, sometimes four separate systems in a 3,000-square-foot colonial, and the only people who know what’s inside are the ones holding a camera. We’re those people. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning has been documenting what’s actually inside ducts since 2013, over 52,000 homes later. We serve Farmington Hills with real equipment, written prices, and a photo record of every run. Call (806) 606-6902 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a call center. Then you’ll get a written price before we touch a single panel.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Farmington Hills’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Farmington Hills homeowners tend to ask the same two things: show me the price and show me the work. Our Air Duct Cleaning process is built for that. We run Rotobrush and Nikro equipment through supply and return ducts, photograph the inside of every run before and after, and hand you that documentation as part of the job record. No other company in the area makes the photo record standard. Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, has spent more than a decade training technicians to treat evidence as the only honest answer in this trade. Our team coordinates from the brand’s Detroit office, but the crews that knock on doors in Farmington Hills know the subdivisions between 8 Mile and 14 Mile as well as any local. They know which 1980s ranches near Halsted and Grand River tend to have delaminated fiberglass liner, and they know that the three-car garages off Drake Road often have return ducts pulling in exhaust because someone connected them in the 1990s. That’s the kind of knowledge you can’t get from a franchise call center.
Every Farmington Hills job gets our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Not as a line in a brochure. On the job record you sign. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. That promise, plus Haven Standard Clause 1 (written price before any work starts), is why homeowners who research everything eventually land here.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Farmington Hills
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Farmington Hills homes we see are 2,500 to 4,500 square feet with finished basements. That means long trunk lines, multiple drops, and runs that snake through spaces where renovation dust has been settling since the Reagan administration. We clean every run with negative-pressure extraction and rotating agitation, not a shop vac. The camera goes in before we start and after we finish. You see both.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Offices and clinics along Northwestern Highway and 12 Mile have a different problem: constant runtime and minimal filter changes. We work after hours so tenants don’t notice us. Same written price rule, same photo record. A property manager in Farmington Hills gets the documentation they need for tenant files and compliance.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry heated or cooled air from the furnace to your rooms. In a Farmington Hills colonial with three systems, the supply runs on the second floor are often the longest and most neglected. A contractor who cleans only the easy basement trunk line leaves the upstairs runs untouched. We clean entire supply legs, including the difficult finished-ceiling sections.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the furnace. They’re also where the worst stuff lives: pet hair, fiberglass fibers from failing liner, and dust that has been recirculating for 30 years. On a job near 12 Mile and Drake, our tech found the 1979 original return ducts lined with delaminated fiberglass board shedding black particles into two upstairs registers. Using negative pressure and rotating agitation tools, we removed the loose liner and ran a camera through the 60-foot trunk line to confirm no blockages before replacing the accessible liner sections. That’s what return duct cleaning actually looks like.
Full System Cleaning
This is the service most Farmington Hills homes actually need. One flat price covers every duct run, every register, the plenum, and the return drops. For homes with multiple air handlers, we price per system, not per vent. You know the total before we open a panel. Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions.
Video Inspection
We run a camera through your ductwork and show you the footage. Not a stock photo. Your ducts, on a screen, in your living room. If we find cracked trunk lines, separated joints, or fiberglass liner that has failed, you see it. Then we discuss options. You’re not buying on trust. You’re buying on evidence.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Farmington Hills
Our equipment includes Rotobrush and Nikro for agitation, Honeywell for filtration assessment, and Guardsman for air quality solutions. These are brands homeowners can look up independently before we arrive. If your Farmington Hills system has a specific filter housing or a Honeywell media cabinet, we know how it fits. We stock common replacement parts locally, which means less waiting when an inspection turns up a cracked filter frame or a failed duct-board section.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Farmington Hills Homes
- Three-system colonials quoted as one job. A 3,500-square-foot colonial built in 1978 often has one furnace and coil in the basement, another in the attic, and a third for a finished basement suite. A company that quotes “whole-house duct cleaning, one price” either skips systems or hits you with a change order. We quote per system. The number on the written estimate is the number you pay.
- Long finished-basement trunk lines that never get touched. The trunk line that runs under the family room in a renovated 1980s ranch is often packed tight with drywall dust from two or three remodels. Accessing it requires removing ceiling panels or cutting an access door. A contractor paid a flat rate just skips it. We open it, clean it, photograph it, and close it back up.
- Delaminated fiberglass duct board shedding into registers. Homes built between 1965 and 1985 in Farmington Hills frequently used fiberglass-lined duct board for returns. After 40-plus years of Michigan heating cycles, that liner breaks down and sheds black particles into living spaces. Cleaning reveals it. Replacement fixes it. We can do both, and you’ll see the before and after on camera.
- No documentation of what was done. A one-line invoice that says “ducted cleaned” tells you nothing. Our standard job record includes a written scope, before and after photos of every run, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a return duct behind 1970s drywall was supposed to be cleaned, the photo proves it was.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Farmington Hills
Yes, you need each system cleaned separately, but that doesn’t mean three separate visits. We quote per system, so a three-system colonial in the 14 Mile and Farmington Road area gets one written price that covers all three. Cleaning them all in one day is standard. What’s not standard is a company that quotes one price for the whole house, then only cleans the basement system and tells you the rest was “not that dirty.” The photo record ends that game.
Cleaning can remove loose, delaminated liner that has already separated from the duct board, but it cannot restore liner that has deteriorated structurally. If the camera shows the fiberglass board itself is crumbling and pulling away from the metal, that portion needs replacement or encapsulation. We do both, and the written scope tells you which sections need what. You won’t be guessing.
Standard cleaning gets the easy parts. Drywall dust from a Farmington Hills basement renovation migrates into the longest, hardest-to-reach runs - the trunk lines under the finished ceiling, the second-floor drops. Getting it out requires a full system cleaning with high-volume negative pressure and access to the trunk lines, not just a brush in the registers. We open access panels when needed, clean the entire run, and show you the before and after. The dust should be gone. If it isn’t, the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers it.
You should get a written price before work starts, a written scope of what was cleaned, and photographic evidence that the work happened. A one-line invoice with “duct cleaning - $450” and nothing else tells you nothing. At CleanRun, the Documented Photo Record is standard. Every run, before and after. You can hold it in your hand before the crew leaves. If a company won’t provide that, ask yourself why.
In winter, furnace heat dries out aging fiberglass duct-board liner that has been absorbing moisture all summer. The dried liner sheds black particles into the air stream, and they show up at the supply registers. It’s a common failure mode in 1965-1985 construction, accelerated by the long Michigan heating season. We diagnose it with a camera inspection. If it’s loose material, a cleaning removes it. If the liner has failed, we quote replacement in writing. Call (806) 606-6902 to start with the inspection.
