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 Fruit Cove’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Fruit Cove homeowners call us because we show them what’s actually inside their ducts before asking for a signature. That approach has built a strong local reputation across St. Johns County, particularly in the master-planned communities like Julington Creek Plantation and Fruit Cove proper near State Road 13. Our crews know the housing stock here: large 2000s-era single-family homes with expansive attic-run flex duct systems that behave differently than the tighter duct layouts found in older Jacksonville neighborhoods.
Tomas Reyes, who leads CleanRun, has built the company around a simple discipline: written prices before work starts, background-checked technicians in uniform, and photo documentation of every duct run as a standard deliverable. We don’t ask Fruit Cove homeowners to trust a verbal promise. We hand them a camera record showing the before and after, plus a written scope of work that matches the invoice. Scheduling is coordinated from our South Florida office, and crews serve Fruit Cove locally year-round.
Every job includes a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate, so if another company has quoted you a number for Air Duct Cleaning, bring it in and we’ll put our own price next to it, in writing, before any panel comes off.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Fruit Cove
Residential Duct Cleaning
We clean the full duct system in Fruit Cove homes: supply and return runs, the plenum, registers, and the air handler. Most houses here run 2,500 to 4,500 square feet with attic flex duct, so we inspect every connection point as part of the job. A typical residential cleaning in Fruit Cove takes half a day and includes the full photo record.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
For offices, clinics, and retail spaces along State Road 13 and the commercial corridors near Fruit Cove, we provide documented commercial duct cleaning with after-hours scheduling when needed. Commercial jobs in Fruit Cove are quoted the same way: a written price before any work begins, and a photo record of every duct run when the crew finishes.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Fruit Cove take the worst of the St. Johns River humidity. Warm, moist air moving through attic runs creates condensation that turns dust into a paste-like film. We clean supply runs with negative-pressure extraction and agitation tools, then camera-verify the interior before closing up. If sagging at the collar connections is present, which we see frequently in Julington Creek Plantation-era homes, we’ll document it and include resupporting in the written scope if needed.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air from living spaces back to the handler, which means they collect what’s floating around your Fruit Cove home: pet dander, cooking residue, dust from nearby road traffic, and in newer subdivisions, lingering drywall dust from construction. We clean return runs thoroughly and check the filter housing and blower motor for buildup that just cleaning the ducts won’t fix.
Video Inspection
Every Fruit Cove job includes video inspection as part of the process, performed before cleaning to size up the interior and after cleaning to document the result. If you want a standalone inspection to see whether your ducts actually need cleaning, we offer that as a written-price service with the footage delivered to you. It’s the same camera work we use on every job, just without the full cleaning unless you want it.
Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning in Fruit Cove means supply ducts, return ducts, plenum, air handler, blower motor, and registers. We recommend this scope for any home that hasn’t been cleaned in five years or more, or any home showing visible dust at the registers shortly after construction. The full system clean is where the river-corridor humidity argument really lands: a partial flush leaves the re-contamination sources untouched.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Fruit Cove Homes
- New-build construction debris: Homes built during St. Johns County’s growth surge from the late 1990s through the 2010s often have drywall dust, sawdust, and even fast-food wrappers left in the ducts by framing and finishing crews. Builders rarely perform a post-construction cleaning, so the first cleaning is on the homeowner.
- Sagging flex duct in attic runs: The long flex duct runs typical of Fruit Cove attic systems sag at the collar connections over time, creating low points where condensation pools and debris collects. These moisture traps re-contaminate the system within months of a standard cleaning if they’re not addressed.
- Condensation-driven mold and biofilm: The St. Johns River corridor keeps humidity near the dew point for large stretches of the year. Even properly sized systems experience condensation events inside supply runs, and that moisture turns household dust into a biological film that standard vacuuming alone won’t remove.
- Clogged registers from day one: In newly built Fruit Cove homes, registers often blow visible dust for the first year because the ducts were never cleaned after construction. It looks like the cleaning failed, but it’s actually the first real cleaning finally dislodging builder’s dust that was there before move-in.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Fruit Cove
Because builders almost never clean the ducts after construction. The drywall dust, sawdust, and debris from framing and finishing crews sit in the duct runs until the homeowner turns the system on and starts breathing it. We inspect newly built Fruit Cove homes all the time and find registers blowing construction dust within the first year. A post-construction cleaning removes what the builder should have removed before handing over the keys. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote on a post-construction clean.
Signs include uneven airflow from room to room, visible dust around certain registers, and a musty smell that gets worse in summer. In the attic, sagging flex duct creates low points at collar connections where condensation pools, and that standing water becomes a breeding ground for mold and biofilm. We pulled a camera inspection on a 2012-built Julington Creek Plantation home and found sagging flex duct at the collar connections had created standing-water pockets in the supply runs after the summer humidity. Our crew followed NADCA standards, used negative pressure with HEPA filtration and agitation tools for source removal, then resupported the duct and cleaned the air handler and blower motor. The homeowner was surprised a 10-year-old house needed that scope, but the river-corridor moisture load made it unavoidable. If you see these signs, call us for a video inspection before the problem gets worse.
The national average is every 3 to 5 years, but in Fruit Cove we recommend every 2 to 3 years because the St. Johns River corridor keeps humidity near the duct surfaces close to the dew point for much of the year. That sustained moisture load accelerates mold, mildew, and dust mite debris in supply and return runs. A homeowner who waits the full five years will likely see visible biological growth inside the runs, and the cleaning scope will be larger because of it. A written price for a full system clean in Fruit Cove is a phone call away at (806) 606-6902.
Yes, when the cleaning includes the air handler, blower motor, and condensate pan, not just the duct runs. The summer musty smell in Fruit Cove homes almost always traces to condensation standing in sagging flex duct low points or a condensate pan that isn’t draining properly. If the cleaning treats only the duct interior and leaves the moisture source in place, the smell returns within weeks. We scope every job to include the components where the moisture and biological growth actually live, and we document it with photos. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put the plan in writing.
A builder should have performed a post-construction duct cleaning before the final walkthrough, which means sealing off the registers during construction, then cleaning the entire system after finishes were complete. In practice, that almost never happens in Fruit Cove subdivisions built during the rapid growth era. What the homeowner receives instead is a system full of drywall dust and debris that the builder effectively handed off. The fix is a full system cleaning with video verification, which is exactly the service we provide with a documented photo record. Reach us at (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate before you schedule.
