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 Northglenn
Air duct cleaning in Northglenn, CO typically costs between $380 and $620 for a full system on a standard ranch home, and most jobs are documented from start to finish with video and photos. Northglenn’s housing stock is unusually uniform: nearly every home was built between 1960 and 1975, which means nearly every home has ducts that have been moving air for five or six decades. Our crews know these systems well because we see them every day. We’re familiar with the split-levels off Community Center Drive, the ranches near Northwest Open Space, and the basements along Huron Street where the original sheet-metal trunk lines still run. If you need air duct cleaning in Northglenn, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Northglenn’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Northglenn homeowners tend to research before they call. They want to see what’s inside their ducts before agreeing to pay someone to clean them. That’s exactly how we work. Every visit includes a video inspection, inside every duct run, before and after. You get the photo record when we leave. No other cleaner we know of in Northglenn does that as standard practice.
Our techs understand the specific construction pattern here. A 1965 ranch on a slab or over a basement has a particular duct layout: trunk line down the center, branch runs to perimeter registers, and a return side that often pulls from a single grille in the hallway. When those original mastic seals crack, the return side starts vacuuming up basement air. Concrete dust. Laundry lint. Storage-area particulate. We look for that on every Northglenn job because it’s the most common failure we document. Tomas Reyes founded CleanRun in 2013, and the standard has been the same since day one: written price first, documented record after.
We coordinate scheduling for Northglenn from our Denver office, and crews are dispatched locally. We’re not an hour away hoping to squeeze you in between calls. Northglenn is a core part of our service map.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Northglenn
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Northglenn homes are single-story or split-level ranches with basements. That’s the house type we clean most often here. We run negative-pressure extraction through every supply and return run, agitate the duct walls with mechanical brushes, and photograph the inside before and after. A standard ranch with 8 to 12 runs takes a half day. You see the photo record before we pack up.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Northglenn has a mix of small office buildings, medical suites, and retail space along 104th Avenue and Washington Street. We clean commercial systems the same way we do residential: documented, priced in writing, and finished with a video record. Building managers get a scope document they can file. Property owners get proof the work happened.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts are the runs that deliver conditioned air from the furnace to your registers. In Northglenn’s 1960s-era homes, these are often sheet-metal branches connected to a central trunk with rivets and mastic. Over six decades, the mastic dries, cracks, and falls away. Dust gets pulled in at the joints. We clean the full supply side and inspect every collar. When we find a gap, we tell you and quote resealing as a separate line item. You decide.
Return Duct Cleaning
The return side is the most important and most neglected part of a Northglenn ranch home’s system. Central returns in these houses often run through the basement ceiling, where years of cracked seals have been pulling in basement air. We recommend a full return-side inspection on every job here. If the return isn’t cleaned, the system re-contaminates within months. We clean the return trunk, every return branch, and the grille housing. Then we photograph it.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning is the standard we recommend for Northglenn homes that haven’t been cleaned in ten years or more. That’s most of them. Supply and return, trunk and branch, plenum and registers. We use Rotobrush agitation tools with negative-pressure collection. You get a full photo record. If you’ve never had the ducts touched since the house was built, this is the service you need.
Video Inspection
We film the inside of your ducts before and after. Not a sales gimmick. It’s the only way to verify what was actually done. We show you the before footage first, then the after. If a duct run can’t be adequately cleaned because of damage or inaccessibility, you’ll see it on camera and we’ll tell you what we found. That’s the whole point.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Northglenn
We work on systems paired with Honeywell filtration, Aprilaire media cabinets, and equipment from Abatement Technologies and Guardsman. If your Northglenn home has a media filter cabinet or a whole-house filter installed, we incorporate that into the cleaning scope so the filter and the ductwork are working together. We don’t sell brand names we can’t support, and we don’t pretend your duct problem is solved by swapping a filter. The ducts themselves are what we’re after.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Northglenn Homes
- Original mastic seals that have dried and cracked. The 1960s-era duct systems in Northglenn were sealed with mastic at every joint. Five decades later, that mastic is brittle and failing. Air leaks pull in dust from basements and wall cavities. We reseal these joints as part of a full cleaning when needed.
- Fine silicate dust from the open high plains. Northglenn sits at roughly 5,400 feet, fully exposed to upslope wind events that push fine dust off the eastern plains. That dust settles into ducts faster than in sheltered Denver neighborhoods. The practical cleaning interval in Northglenn is shorter than you’d expect elsewhere.
- Wildfire smoke residue. Recurring smoke intrusions from mountain corridors to the west add fine particulate to the air stream. It loads onto duct walls and into the return side. Homes that ran window fans or HVAC during smoke events often have a gray film inside the return trunk.
- Return air leaks in basement trunk lines. The single biggest cause of recurrence on Northglenn ranch homes is a return side that’s pulling basement air through cracked joints or a gap at the plenum collar. We find it on nearly every job. It’s why the return side gets its own inspection.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Northglenn
Northglenn’s ducts load with fine particulate faster because of two things: the open high plains location that exposes the city to wind-driven silicate dust, and the age of the housing stock. Original 1960s duct systems have cracked seals that draw in basement air and everything in it. Most Northglenn homes have ducts that are 50 to 60 years old. A practical cleaning interval here is every 3 to 5 years, compared with 5 to 7 for newer construction in sheltered neighborhoods. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a straight answer on what your system actually needs.
Your furnace is new; your ducts are not. The defining pattern in Northglenn is a modern furnace bolted onto a 1965 sheet-metal plenum and trunk line. The appliance is new but the air path is six decades old. We’ve seen 2021 furnaces pushing air through original mastic-sealed ducts that have never been touched. A new furnace doesn’t clean your ducts. It moves air through whatever is already there. If you want proof, we’ll film the inside before we start. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate.
Not necessarily. Sheet-metal ducts are durable. Most 1960s duct systems can be cleaned, resealed, and returned to service. We’ll tell you if we find damage that warrants replacement, and you’ll see it on camera before anyone quotes a replacement. We don’t sell replacement systems as a default. Full cleaning with resealing solves most Northglenn homes’ issues. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll inspect first.
Smoke particulate enters the system through the return side when the furnace blower runs during smoke events. It deposits as a fine gray film on duct walls, registers, and the blower housing. Over multiple smoke seasons, that layer builds and gets re-entrained into the living space air. Cleaning removes the accumulated film. If you ran the fan during smoke events in recent years, it’s worth having the return side inspected. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Because the return side is where the leaks are. Northglenn ranch homes run return trunk lines through the basement, and the original mastic at those connections has dried and cracked over six decades. Every time the blower runs, those gaps pull in basement concrete dust, laundry lint, and storage-area air. You can clean the supply side perfectly and still have dirty air within months if the return side is leaking. That’s why we inspect and clean the full return trunk on every Northglenn job. Call (806) 606-6902 and ask about a return-side inspection.
