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 Lehigh Acres
Air duct cleaning in Lehigh Acres typically costs $390-$780 for a full system on a standard single-story production home, and the work usually takes four to seven hours from setup to final photo record. Most Lehigh Acres homes also need a close look at the attic flex runs, because this community’s mid-2000s construction and Hurricane Ian moisture created contamination patterns we don’t see the same way in Fort Myers or Estero. If your ducts haven’t been inspected since you bought the place, call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning at (806) 606-6902. We’ll give you a written price before any panel comes off.
We know Lehigh Acres differently than a generalist outfit that services all of Lee County from a call center. Crews serving Lehigh Acres coordinate from our South Florida office, but the work itself is local, and our technicians know what they’re walking into: concrete-block production homes off Joel Boulevard, Lee Boulevard, and Homestead Road with builder-grade flex duct now hitting 15 to 20 years of attic heat. Lehigh Acres is inland. That matters. No sea breeze to knock down the afternoon temperature, and an AC system that runs nearly year-round. Condensation forms inside supply plenums and at flex duct joints during our long humid season. Biological growth follows. It’s not a defect in your house. It’s the physics of Southwest Florida humidity meeting an aging duct system, and it can be fixed.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Lehigh Acres’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Lehigh Acres homeowners have a right to be skeptical of duct cleaning. This industry runs on $79 coupons that turn into $900 invoices once a crew gets into the attic. CleanRun exists because that model is broken. Since 2013, founded by Tomas Reyes, we’ve operated under one rule: a written price before any work starts. Not an estimate range over the phone. A written scope with a dollar figure, handed to you before a single register cover comes off. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it has never had an exception in Lehigh Acres or anywhere else.
The second difference is what you receive at the end. Every CleanRun visit includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after. The camera goes in first. You see the drywall dust, the debris, the delaminated liner, the biological growth. Then the work happens. Then the camera goes in again and you see what changed. If it’s not documented, it didn’t happen, and you shouldn’t pay for it. We’ve held that position since our first job in 2013, across 52,000+ homes served.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs the work in writing. Not a verbal guarantee subject to a manager’s mood. A written commitment: if it’s not right, we make it right. Your job record includes that promise, along with the photo record and the written scope. That’s the kind of accountability that matters when a crew has been in your attic for six hours and you’re deciding whether to recommend them to a neighbor on Bell Boulevard.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres homes need more than a quick vacuum of the registers. Our Air Duct Cleaning team handles the full scope of what production homes here actually require, from the supply plenum to the return drop to the attic flex runs.
Residential Duct Cleaning
This is the core service for Lehigh Acres homeowners. A full residential cleaning means negative-pressure extraction on the supply and return side, not just brushing out the visible register openings. On a 2005 concrete-block home near Lee Boulevard, the standard job runs from the air handler through every branch run to the register boots, including the return trunk. Most residential jobs in Lehigh Acres fall between $390 and $780 depending on system size and the condition of the flex duct.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Lehigh Acres has a growing commercial strip along Homestead Road and Lee Boulevard. Offices, medical suites, and retail spaces all run AC harder when foot traffic adds humidity to the load. Commercial duct cleaning in Lehigh Acres follows the same evidence-first process as residential: written scope, camera inspection, source removal, documented photo record. Pricing for commercial systems is assessed by system size and access, and the written proposal itemizes what will be cleaned and what it will cost before any work begins.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts are the arteries of the system: the conditioned air travels from the air handler through these runs to your rooms. In Lehigh Acres, the supply side deserves special attention because of what happens in the attic. Post-Ian moisture and 15-plus years of thermal stress on builder-grade flex duct means the supply liner can delaminate internally, holding contamination even after a standard cleaning. Supply duct cleaning here includes a camera inspection of the liner condition. If the duct is delaminated, cleaning alone won’t fix it; the run needs repair or replacement. We tell you which one you actually need, with photos.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air from your living space back to the air handler. They’ve spent every year of the home’s life filtering whatever was in the air: dust, pet dander, cooking residue, and in some Lehigh Acres homes, the leftover effects of foreclosure-era vacancy when no HVAC ran at all for months. The return side is where we frequently find the thickest debris accumulation, and it’s the part of the system most often skipped by outfits that only clean registers. Our return duct cleaning treats it as a full component of the system, not an afterthought.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres homes were built fast, and many have Honeywell or Aprilaire filtration components installed at the air handler. We service and clean around all major equipment manufacturers without making claims beyond what the manufacturer specifies. Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies for source-removal cleaning, and we use Guardsman for sanitizing applications where a written scope calls for it. You can look up every one of those brands yourself before you agree to a price. We prefer you do.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lehigh Acres Homes
- Construction debris left by builders. The 2002-2007 boom moved fast, and drywall dust, scrap flex duct ends, and even fast-food wrappers ended up inside supply and return runs before the registers were installed. A camera inspection finds it, and source removal gets rid of it.
- Delaminated flex-duct liner from post-Ian moisture. Homes with even minor roof or soffit damage allowed weeks of tropical humidity to saturate the insulation-wrapped flex in the attic. The liner separates from the inside, trapping contamination so that cleaning alone doesn’t solve the problem. This is the most common post-storm finding in Lehigh Acres specifically.
- Foreclosure-era biological growth. Many homes cycled through foreclosure after 2008 and sat without air conditioning or humidity control for extended periods. The dark, warm duct environment grew biological material that was never remediated. New owners moved in breathing it.
- Persistent condensation at the plenum. Lehigh Acres runs hotter than coastal Fort Myers because there’s no sea breeze to moderate the afternoons. The AC runs harder, condensation builds inside the supply plenum, and mold follows. This is an annual maintenance reality here, not a one-time fix.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Lehigh Acres, FL
You deserve an honest number before you book. A full residential system in Lehigh Acres typically runs between $390 and $780. Homes with more than one air handler, or with attic access that requires extra time, run toward the higher end. A supply duct cleaning alone on a standard 1,500-2,200 square foot production home generally falls between $240 and $420. Video inspection is included as part of the documented photo record, not sold as a separate add-on.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Lehigh Acres
Because the builders left construction debris in the ducts. Drywall dust, scrap flex duct, insulation fragments, and general construction waste went into the supply and return runs before the registers were installed, and no one cleaned it out. Many Lehigh Acres homes were handed over with this debris still in place, and a homeowner moving in today has no way to know without a camera inspection. A standard builder-grade system from that era was also installed with low-cost flex duct that degrades faster in attic heat. The result is a new home with old contamination from day one. Call (806) 606-6902 for a video inspection and written quote.
Hurricane Ian’s September 2022 impact on Lee County drove storm moisture directly into attic duct runs. In Lehigh Acres, homes with even minor roof penetrations or soffit damage experienced weeks of tropical humidity saturating the insulation-wrapped flex duct. The liner delaminated from the inside, and contamination became trapped beneath it. A standard register-level cleaning cannot address that. Post-Ian duct cleaning in Lehigh Acres must include a camera inspection of liner integrity on both supply and return runs. If the liner has separated, the duct run needs repair or replacement before cleaning has any lasting effect. We assess both in the same visit, with photos to show you what the camera found.
Yes, with the right approach. The concern with 15 to 20-year-old flex duct is that the internal liner becomes brittle and can tear under aggressive brushing. Our process uses negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration rather than aggressive mechanical agitation, which is safer for aging ductwork. The camera inspection tells us whether the liner is intact enough to clean or whether it has already delaminated and needs replacement. We won’t clean a run that should be replaced just to collect a cleaning fee. That’s what separates a documented, honest assessment from a shop-vac operation. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written evaluation.
Lehigh Acres sits inland without the moderating sea breeze that keeps coastal Fort Myers temperatures lower in the afternoon. Summer attic temperatures regularly exceed 130°F, and the AC system runs longer and harder as a result. That continuous runtime combined with Southwest Florida humidity generates persistent condensation inside supply plenums and at flex duct joints. Biological growth follows that condensation. Homes in Lehigh Acres should be inspected annually and cleaned on a two to four year cycle, more frequently if occupants have allergies or respiratory conditions. Coastal Fort Myers homes simply don’t accumulate contamination at the same rate. The climate is different, and your maintenance schedule should reflect that.
Expect a camera inspection first, before any cleaning begins. Our technicians document the condition of the supply plenum, return drop, and representative branch runs, then show you the photos. Then we seal the registers and set up negative-pressure extraction at the air handler, cleaning the entire supply and return side with HEPA-filtered equipment. If the camera shows delaminated flex liner or physical damage, we stop and show you what needs repair before cleaning continues. The full process on a typical single-story Lehigh Acres home takes four to seven hours. At the end, you receive the Documented Photo Record showing every duct run before and after, along with your written warranty under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Tomas Reyes set this standard in 2013, and it hasn’t changed. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule a written assessment.

If your ducts haven’t been inspected since you bought your Lehigh Acres home, you’re making a decision in the dark. A camera inspection shows what’s actually inside: construction debris from the boom years, biological growth from the foreclosure era, delaminated liner from Ian, or just normal dust accumulation. Whatever the camera finds, you’ll have photographs and a written price before any work begins. That’s what the H.A.V.E.N. Standard means in practice.
