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 Lawrence
Lawrence HVAC cleaning typically runs $425-$780 for a full residential system, and most jobs take a single morning or afternoon. We’re not the cheapest and we don’t pretend to be. What CleanRun gives you is a written price before anything comes apart, a camera record of every duct run before and after, and a 365-day guarantee that survives contact with the real world. If you’re in a triple-decker off Hampshire Street or a condo in the mill district, call (806) 606-6902 and you’ll get a live person who can schedule a walkthrough.
We know Lawrence differently than a franchise rolling a van up I-495 will. We know what the 2018 Columbia Gas rebuild left behind inside thousands of ducts in this city. We know what shared stacks look like in a three-story wood-frame two-family. That local knowledge changes how we approach a job before the first register comes off.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Lawrence’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
CleanRun has been doing this since 2013, and we’ve served more than 52,000 homes. Every single one got a written price before work began and a documented photo record when the crew left. That’s not a marketing line. It’s Haven Standard Clause 1 and it has never had an exception.
Lawrence customers call us because they want to see the difference between real work and vacuum noise. We’re familiar with the patchwork duct runs, the retrofit supply lines snaked through old lath-and-plaster walls, and the disconnected returns that slowly pull crawl-space air into living rooms. Our techs have pulled joint-compound dust out of boot registers in South Lawrence at least a hundred times since 2019. We don’t tell you your ducts are dirty because we feel like it’s true. We show you the photo.
Tomas Reyes runs our operations, and he’s the person you’ll see named on the job record. Every technician who enters a Lawrence home is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. That’s Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. If a tech can’t show you written documentation of who they are and what they’re going to do, they don’t belong to us.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lawrence
Our Air Duct Cleaning team handles the full range of residential and light commercial work in Lawrence. Below is what we actually do here, week in and week out.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Lawrence homes fall into two categories: pre-1940 wood-frame structures with retrofitted forced-air systems, or post-2018 rebuilds that were sealed up fast during a Massachusetts winter. Both leave ducts carrying material that shouldn’t be there. A standard residential job includes source removal with HEPA-filtered negative pressure, agitation through every accessible run, and a camera pass before we call it done.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Lawrence has a real commercial stock along Essex Street, Broadway, and in the mill district. Offices, storefronts, and restaurants log far heavier run-hours than residential systems, and ductwork above a busy kitchen collects grease vapor that ordinary cleaning never touches. We quote commercial work with a written scope and finish with the same photo record we give a homeowner. If the job takes a night shift, we tell you that in the written price.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts are the path from your furnace to your registers. In Lawrence’s older triple-deckers, those runs are often pieced together from multiple decades of work: a 1980s flex connector here, a galvanized elbow there, an uninsulated run through an unheated stairwell. We pull the register, run an agitation tool through the full accessible length, and extract what comes loose under negative pressure. Then we photograph every run.
Return Duct Cleaning
Returns are where dust actually enters the system. In a lot of Lawrence homes, especially post-2018 rebuilds and older retrofits, returns are disconnected or loosely sealed in basements. That means the system is pulling air at negative pressure from a crawl space rather than from the living areas. A return-side cleaning without inspecting those connections is a half measure, so we include return duct inspection in every full-system job. Haven Standard Clause 4: the photo record covers both supply and return, not just the runs a cheaper crew can reach standing up.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Lawrence
The equipment we use matters, and we name it because you should be able to verify it. CleanRun runs professional-grade units from Abatement Technologies and Rotobrush for source removal, and we use Aprilaire and Honeywell filtration components when a Lawrence job calls for filter or air-quality upgrades. If you have existing filtration from Aprilaire or a Honeywell control system, we’re familiar with the integration and we service it in place. We carry replacement media for most common Aprilaire and Honeywell housings, so a filter swap happens during the same visit rather than a week later.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lawrence Homes
- Post-2018 rebuild debris. The Columbia Gas disaster forced a rushed rebuild across Lawrence in the winter of 2018-2019. Thousands of new duct systems were sealed with drywall dust, joint-compound particles, and blown-in insulation fibers still inside. Those systems are now five-plus years old and have never been professionally cleaned.
- Shared dryer vent stacks in multi-family properties. A three-decker’s dryer vents often merge into one common stack. A clog in your unit backs up your neighbor’s airflow, and standard cleaning that only hits the accessible few feet misses the junction entirely. We inspect the common stack as part of any multi-family dryer vent cleaning in Lawrence, not just the unit where the call began.
- Patchwork retrofits in pre-war homes. Lawrence’s housing stock is mostly late-19th and early-20th century wood frame. Forced-air systems were added decades after the building went up, which means runs that snake through spaces never designed for them. We find disconnected returns in unfinished basements pulling crawl-space air into living areas more often than not.
- Merrimack River valley humidity. Lawrence sits in a river valley that holds moisture. Combined with a heating season running roughly October to April, forced-air systems here log some of the heaviest annual run-hours in New England. That humidity and constant use means more dust-mite activity, more mold potential in the plenum, and faster debris accumulation than Mildred Avenue or Tower Hill gets in a comparable-size home in Methuen.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Lawrence, MA
A full residential system in Lawrence runs $425 to $780, depending on the size of the home, the number of duct runs, and the condition we find on the initial camera pass. A typical single-family or a single floor of a two-family lands around $550. Smaller condos in the mill district can fall closer to $400. More complicated jobs, like a three-decker with multiple returns and a shared dryer stack, can push toward $800.
Those numbers are for a complete job with source removal and the documented photo record. We do not quote per-vent, because per-vent pricing is how this industry hides a $79 coupon that becomes a $900 invoice. Haven Standard Clause 1: the written price is the price. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, bring it and we’ll put our number next to it in writing. Free.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Lawrence
Yes, and the reason is specific to Lawrence’s rebuild. Thousands of homes had HVAC systems replaced rapidly over a single winter, and many duct systems were sealed with drywall dust, joint-compound particles, and loose insulation fibers still inside the runs. That material has been circulating through your system for half a decade. In a three-decker off Hampshire Street, our techs pulled joint-compound dust and blown-in insulation from every boot register. After source removal, airflow at the supply registers roughly doubled and the MERV 8 filter stopped loading up with drywall dust within days. The age of the ducts doesn’t matter here. The construction they walled in does. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote on your rebuild.
We approach it as an access problem first. Older Lawrence two-families have duct runs made of mismatched materials, multiple elbow types, and sections that were never meant to carry forced air. We run a camera through every run before we start, mark the blockages and disconnected sections, then clean what can be reached with agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction. The camera pass after tells you what actually changed. We don’t guarantee we can make a 1920s retrofit look like new construction, but we do guarantee the photo record shows what was removed and what remains. That’s the difference between a real cleaning and an invoice with noise attached.
Yes, but the approach is different. Shared systems in mill buildings mean duct runs that cross unit boundaries, which means we treat the common portions and your unit’s register runs as separate scopes. We photograph both. We coordinate with building management when access to common mechanical spaces is required, and we provide documentation for your condo association if the system needs work beyond a cleaning. The written price covers whatever we agreed to clean, and the photo record is yours to keep. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk through the specifics for your building.
Because most house calls in this industry are vacuum visits, not duct cleanings. A company hooks a large vacuum to one register, makes noise for an hour, and calls it done. That doesn’t address the disconnected returns pulling crawl-space air into the system, or the debris packed into elbows and boot registers that keeps feeding dust to the living areas. In Lawrence specifically, we find post-2018 construction debris and retrofit-related return leaks as the two most common reasons a cleaning doesn’t stick. Our video inspection shows the inside of every run before and after, so you know whether the dust is coming from the ducts or from somewhere else entirely.
Yes. We clean the full run from the dryer connection up to the roof or sidewall termination, including the common junction where multiple units meet. In Lawrence triple-deckers, that junction is where lint accumulates fastest, and it’s the section most cleaning passes never reach. We run a camera through the stack to confirm the path is clear, and you get the photo record of the before and after just like a duct job. A clog in one unit’s run backs up the whole stack, so we don’t stop at the floor where the dryer sits. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote on your building.
If you’re in Lawrence and you want to know what’s actually inside your ducts, call (806) 606-6902. We’ll give you a written price, put a camera in every duct run, and hand you the photos when we’re done. That’s the whole job and the whole promise.
