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 Kennesaw
Air duct cleaning in Kennesaw typically costs $425-$780 for a full system on a 2,000-2,800 sq ft home, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. What separates one quote from another isn’t usually the cleaning itself - it’s what the crew finds once the registers come off. In Kennesaw specifically, that finding is often a disconnected flex-duct run or a fiberglass duct board that’s been quietly shedding particles into your airstream for two decades. We know this because we’ve been inside thousands of these homes. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Kennesaw’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Kennesaw’s housing stock is unusually uniform. The subdivisions built between 1985 and 2005 - Legacy Park, Summerhour, Barrett Greene, and the neighborhoods along Stilesboro Road and Kennesaw Due West Road - all went up with the same Georgia builder standard: flex-duct systems stapled to trusses, fiberglass duct board plenums, and long runs stretching toward bonus rooms over garages. That uniformity means the failures are uniform too. When our techs open a register in a Kennesaw home, we usually know what the camera will show before it goes in.
We’re not guessing. Every clean includes a before-and-after photo record of every duct run - the inside, not just the register cover. You’ll see what the camera saw. If a run has pulled free at the boot joint, the photo will show it. If the duct board is delaminating, that’s documented too. This is our standard deliverable, on every job, since 2013. Haven Standard Clause 4: Documented Photo Record, every visit, no exceptions.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. The license number is published on our page - not buried somewhere you’d have to dig for. And every estimate is a written price delivered before a single panel comes off. Haven Standard Clause 1. That’s the whole deal, and it’s how CleanRun has always operated since 2013.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Kennesaw
Residential Duct Cleaning
A full residential clean in Kennesaw covers every supply and return run, the plenum, and the air handler cabinet. Given the long duct runs common in 1990s tract homes here, most systems have more linear footage of duct than a comparable home in Marietta or Acworth. More footage means more surface area for red clay dust and pine pollen to settle, which is why our standard process uses negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration - not a shop-vac waved at a register. The Rotobrush or Nikro system we deploy depends on the duct material and condition, which we assess before recommending anything.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Offices, medical suites, and retail spaces along Barrett Parkway and Cobb Parkway in Kennesaw face a different issue: recirculated air in tight, well-sealed commercial buildings. A commercial duct cleaning here usually means larger trunk lines, rooftop units, and multiple zones. We schedule commercial work with a written scope and a photo record just like residential - same H.A.V.E.N. Standard, same documentation, just scaled to the building.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the air handler to your rooms. In Kennesaw homes built during the 1990s boom, these are typically flex-duct runs that have been thermal-cycling for 25 to 40 years. What we find with regularity: sagging runs that trap dust at the elbows, boots that have separated from the sheet-metal plenum, and insulation jackets that have torn and are now blowing fibers into the airstream. Cleaning a supply duct that’s disconnected at the boot is pointless until the connection is fixed. We’ll find it, photo it, and bring it to you with a written price to repair it before the vacuum truck leaves.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, which means they pull in whatever is in your home - pet dander, dust, pollen, cooking particulates. In Kennesaw, spring pine pollen season is heavy enough that a single April week can load a return run with a visible layer of yellow-green powder. If your return plenum is built from fiberglass duct board, which most of the 1985-2005 Kennesaw stock is, the interior liner may be deteriorating. That deterioration looks like a fine white or gray dust on your registers no matter how often you wipe them. Cleaning the return ducts solves it - but only if the duct board itself is still intact. If it isn’t, we’ll show you the photo and price the repair honestly, not pad the cleaning invoice.
Full System Cleaning and Video Inspection
A full system clean covers both supply and return runs, the plenums, and the air handler. The video inspection is what tells us - and you - whether a simple clean is enough, or whether the real issue is something structural. In a Kennesaw subdivision like Legacy Park, built out through the mid-to-late 1990s, it is routine for us to find at least one flex-duct run that has fully disconnected at a boot joint. The homeowner has been air-conditioning the attic or the crawlspace. The rooms never quite reached temperature. The energy bill crept up. The fix isn’t obscure - it’s reconnecting, sealing with mastic, and cleaning the runs after. That’s exactly the kind of thing the camera exists to catch.

The mastic, the zip ties, the replacement boots - they’re on the truck when we pull up to your home off Jiles Road or Cobb Parkway.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Kennesaw Homes
- Disconnected flex-duct runs at boot joints. In 1990s subdivisions all over Kennesaw - Legacy Park, Cambridge Preserve, and similar-era tracts - flex-duct runs are frequently found pulled free at the boot. The supply air never reaches the room, and the blower motor strains against the static pressure. A camera inspection confirms it in about thirty seconds.
- Fiberglass duct board shedding particles. Duct board plenums degrade over time. The interior liner, once smooth, starts to flake and release small glass-fiber particles that settle on your registers and furniture. It looks like a fine white or light gray dust that keeps returning. The fix is cleaning first, then either sealing the plenum or replacing it entirely.
- Condensation-driven mold growth inside flex ducts. Kennesaw’s summer relative humidity regularly sits above 70-80% for months at a stretch. Uninsulated or damaged flex ducts sweat. That moisture feeds mold growth that recurs months after a cleaning because the underlying moisture condition was never addressed. We document the moisture source on camera and price the repair that stops the cycle.
- Heavy pine pollen loading in return ducts. Kennesaw Mountain forms a natural backdrop that channels spring pollen straight into neighborhood HVAC intakes. A single pollen season can put a visible yellow-green layer inside the return plenum. It’s not dangerous, but it recirculates until the ducts are actually cleaned.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Kennesaw, GA
Here are honest ranges for a whole-system clean in Kennesaw, based on the homes we actually see: $425-$650 for a single-system 2,000-2,500 sq ft home, $550-$780 for a 2,500-3,200 sq ft home with longer duct runs and a second return. A larger home with two systems and bonus rooms over the garage can run $750-$950. Those are whole-system prices - not per-vent pricing, not a teaser coupon that mutates into a bigger invoice once the van is on the driveway. If the camera finds a disconnected run or a failing plenum, you get a separate written price for that repair before any work happens. You approve it or you don’t. Haven Standard Clause 1: written price, before any work starts, every time. Call (806) 606-6902 for your number in writing.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Kennesaw
Because the flex-duct systems installed during Kennesaw’s 1985-2005 building boom were stapled and taped rather than mechanically fastened at the boot joints, and after 25-40 years of thermal cycling, the staples back out and the tape adhesive fails. Gravity does the rest. The run sags, separates at the boot, and supply air spills into the attic or crawlspace instead of your second floor. We find this in a meaningful percentage of the 1990s Kennesaw homes we clean. The fix is reconnecting, sealing with mastic, and confirming with a camera that no other joints are failing. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written inspection price.
Very likely yes, if your home has fiberglass duct board plenums or deteriorating flex-duct liners, which most 1985-2005 Kennesaw homes do. As the duct board degrades, it sheds fine glass-fiber particles that show up as a persistent white or gray dust on register covers and nearby furniture. Dusting won’t stop it because the source is inside the system. The solution is cleaning the runs, then sealing or replacing the deteriorating plenum material - we’ll photo it and show you before we ask for a signature.
In heavy pollen years, which Kennesaw gets reliably because of Kennesaw Mountain’s geography, a return plenum can accumulate a visible yellow-green layer from a single spring. The return side pulls air from inside the home, but that air came from outside through open doors, windows, and the fresh-air intake. Most of it gets captured by the filter, but the portion that passes through settles in the return duct and builds up season after season. We clean it the same way we clean everything else: negative pressure, HEPA filtration, and a photo record.
Repair first, always. Cleaning a duct run that’s disconnected at the boot, sagging at a mid-run elbow, or tearing at the insulation jacket is a waste of your money. The system has to be mechanically sound before the cleaning has any value. Our standard process is camera inspection first, then a written price for both - repair and clean on the same visit. You see the photos. You approve the scope. We don’t do one without the other being explained.
Because the moisture source wasn’t stopped. Kennesaw’s summer humidity is high enough that damaged or uninsulated flex ducts sweat the same way a cold glass sweats on a porch in July. A cleaning removes the existing mold, but if the duct is still sweating, the mold comes back - usually within one season. The permanent fix is sealing the damaged section or replacing the insulation, not just treating the symptom. We document the moisture source on camera and price the repair that ends the cycle. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you exactly what the camera sees.
