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 North Lauderdale
Air duct cleaning in North Lauderdale isn’t a routine dust job. It’s a moisture and air-restoration problem, because most homes here are 40-55-year-old CBS ranch houses running their AC almost year-round in 75-80% humidity. The flex ductwork those homes were built with is now degrading, often at the plenum takeoff collars where attic heat and humidity do the most damage. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning serves North Lauderdale with camera-verified cleaning, written upfront pricing, and a documented photo record of every run. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is North Lauderdale’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve cleaned enough duct systems in North Lauderdale to know what’s waiting inside them. Homes off Rock Island Road, along SW 10th Street, and throughout the 33068 and 33069 zip codes share the same anatomy: slab-on-grade construction, flex duct in unconditioned attics, and blower motors that rarely rest. That’s why our Air Duct Cleaning team starts every job with a camera inspection of the plenum collars, not just the duct runs. The photo record we deliver at the end shows the difference between a clean that will last and one that won’t.
We follow the H.A.V.E.N. Standard on every job. Clause 1 means a written price before any panel comes off. Clause 3 means background-checked, uniformed technicians you’ll know by name before they arrive. And every visit ends with a Documented Photo Record, delivered to you, showing the inside of every run before and after. That’s the CleanRun way. It has been since 2013, when Tomas Reyes founded the company with a simple rule: if we can’t photograph it, we don’t claim it.
Our crews serve North Lauderdale directly, with scheduling coordinated from our South Florida office in Miami. We’re not a franchise and we don’t do $79 coupon visits that turn into $900 invoices. We do written scopes, documented results, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that’s printed on every job record. If the work isn’t right, we make it right.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in North Lauderdale
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most North Lauderdale homes are single-family CBS construction from the late 1960s to mid-1980s. The ductwork is almost always flex duct routed through an unconditioned attic, and decades of near-continuous AC operation have taken a toll. We clean every supply and return run with negative-pressure extraction, then camera-verify each one before we call the job done.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Small offices, medical suites, and retail spaces along North Lauderdale’s commercial corridors along State Road 7 and Kimberly Boulevard share the same humidity profile as the homes around them. We clean commercial duct systems on schedules that reflect actual run time, not generic three-year intervals. A written scope and photo record apply to commercial jobs the same as residential ones.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in North Lauderdale carry cooled air from the air handler to your registers. When the vapor barrier fails at the takeoff collars, humid attic air gets pulled into these runs and feeds mold inside the insulation. We clean supply ducts with HEPA-filtered negative pressure and inspect every collar connection. Finding a peeled-back vapor barrier is common. Fixing it is part of the job, not an upsell.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts here have a particular failure mode: collapsed inner liners. The flex liner separates from the outer jacket, the duct walls suck inward, and airflow drops. The blower works harder, overheats, and the system short-cycles. We find this regularly in North Lauderdale’s slab-era homes. Cleaning the return side means restoring the full path, not just vacuuming what’s accessible.
Full System Cleaning
A full system clean in North Lauderdale includes supply runs, return runs, the plenum, the blower cabinet, and the evaporator coil. It is the only option we recommend for homes that haven’t had ductwork properly inspected in a decade or more. We also include video inspection so you can see the condition of every section, including the takeoff collars that most crews skip.
Video Inspection
This is the service that separates real cleaning from noise. A camera pushed through each duct run shows exactly what’s inside: debris depth, liner condition, disconnected sections, mold staining at the collars. In North Lauderdale, where vapor barrier failure is so common, a cleaning without a camera inspection of the plenum takeoffs is likely to leave the actual source of mold untouched. We photograph everything. You get the record.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes
- Vapor barrier failure at plenum takeoff collars. Decades of 130°F attic heat and 80% humidity cause the foil-and-fiberglass sleeve to separate from the collar. Humid attic air infiltrates the supply run and feeds mold that blows into bedrooms.
- Collapsed return duct liners. The inner liner detaches and collapses under suction, strangling airflow. The blower motor overheats, the system short-cycles, and the house never cools evenly.
- Disconnected duct sections. We routinely find flex duct that has pulled completely off the plenum or a junction box. The AC cools the attic while the living spaces suffocate.
- Mold re-colonization after a dust-only cleaning. A crew brushes out the runs but skips the collars, leaving the failed vapor barrier in place. Mold regrows within weeks because the moisture source was never addressed.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in North Lauderdale, FL
Air duct cleaning in North Lauderdale typically runs between $450 and $900 for a full system on a single-family CBS home. That’s supply and return runs, plenum, blower cabinet, and coil, with a written price given before work starts. Video inspection is included. If we find a disconnected section at the plenum or a collapsed return liner, the repair adds $125 to $400 depending on how much flex duct needs replacing and how many collars need rebuilding and mastic-sealing.
Smaller scopes cost less. A supply-duct-only clean in a 1,200-square-foot ranch generally lands between $275 and $450. A return-only clean is similar. Commercial spaces fall between $600 and $1,400 depending on square footage, run count, and access. The written price we quote is the price you pay. Haven Standard Clause 1 isn’t marketing copy. It’s the rule.
Every estimate is free. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk the property, camera the ducts, and put a number in writing before a single register comes off.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in North Lauderdale
Because the plenum takeoff collars are where vapor barriers fail first in this city’s climate, and if they fail, mold regrows no matter how thoroughly the runs are brushed. CleanRun inspects every collar with a camera as standard, photographs what we find, and includes collar rebuild and mastic sealing in the written scope when it’s needed. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate.
Most national guidelines say every 3-5 years. In North Lauderdale, where AC runs 10-11 months a year in 75-80%+ humidity, we recommend cleaning every 2-3 years, with an annual camera inspection of the plenum collars and return liners. The accumulation rate here isn’t comparable to a seasonal climate. A camera check tells you exactly where you stand.
A disconnected flex duct at the plenum or a junction box typically adds $125 to $400 to the cleaning invoice, depending on how much duct has to be replaced and how many collars need rebuilding. We write the repair price into the scope before any work starts, and we photograph the disconnection before and after. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote on your system.
No. Cleaning removes the mold you can reach, but it cannot fix the failed vapor barrier at the plenum collar that’s feeding it moisture. In North Lauderdale, the mold source is usually the collar, not the run itself. That’s why our cleaning includes collar inspection and rebuild when needed, otherwise the mold returns within weeks of the next filter change.
Collapsed return ducts happen because the inner liner of 40-55-year-old flex duct separates from the outer jacket and collapses under negative pressure when the blower draws air. It restricts airflow, overheats the blower motor, and shortens equipment life. Cleaning has to restore the full return path, which means replacing the collapsed section, not just vacuuming around it. Our camera finds it fast.
The Straight Answer on Duct Cleaning in North Lauderdale
Here is what we know after twelve years of this work and more than 52,000 homes cleaned: in North Lauderdale, paying for a duct cleaning that doesn’t address vapor barrier failure at the plenum collars is paying for a temporary effect. The mold comes back because the moisture source never went away. A cheaper quote that skips camera verification isn’t cheaper. It’s just incomplete.
CleanRun does the whole job. We camera every run. We inspect every collar. We photograph before and after. We give you a written price before we start and a documented photo record when we finish. And we back it all with the 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, on every single job.
