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 Plantation
Air duct cleaning in Plantation typically runs $390-$690 for a full system on a single-family home, and usually takes 4-6 hours on older 1960s-1980s houses. The price difference comes down to what we find once the camera goes in: a straightforward source-removal cleaning on intact runs costs less than a job where collapsed flex duct or crumbling fiberglass duct board has to be repaired before cleaning can even begin. If you’re in Plantation and your AC has been running nonstop for years through original ductwork, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before any panel comes off.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Plantation’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve worked inside a lot of Plantation attics, and the houses here have a signature. Concrete block and stucco ranches from the planned-development era, most built between 1965 and 1985, with ductwork routed through unconditioned attic space that hits 130-140°F for months at a time. That heat history shows up on camera every time: separated flex-duct liners, fiberglass board shedding at the plenum, debris packed into elbows and kinks. Knowing what Plantation’s housing stock does to ductwork means we don’t show up expecting a quick vacuum pass. We show up expecting to document what’s actually there, then give you a written scope and a fixed price before work starts.
No coupons, no teaser rates. Every job gets a written price under Haven Standard Clause 1, and every job ends with a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after. That’s been our practice since 2013.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Plantation
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Plantation homes we service are single-family CBS houses from the 1970s and 80s, typically 1,800-2,600 square feet with 10-14 duct runs. A full residential cleaning here means pulling the register covers, running a camera through each run, and doing negative-pressure extraction with HEPA-filtered agitation tools, not a shop vac at the wall. On homes with original fiberglass duct board, we’re also checking for inner surface degradation that a cleaning alone won’t fix.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Plantation has a dense commercial corridor along University Drive and Broward Boulevard, plus medical and professional offices throughout the city. Commercial work here often involves long trunk lines, multiple plenum boxes, and drop ceilings that hide decades of debris. We schedule commercial jobs with the same written-price rule as residential, and we document every section of ductwork we touch. If you manage a property in Plantation, you’ll get a scope you can put in front of a building owner or board.
Supply Duct Cleaning
The supply side carries conditioned air from your air handler out to every room, so anything growing or shedding inside those runs gets blown directly into your living space. In Plantation, where the AC runs nearly year-round, supply ducts accumulate debris faster than return runs, especially on older flex-duct systems where the inner liner has started to separate and catch particulate. We clean supply runs with agitation tools sized for flex and rigid duct, then camera-verify that the run is clear before we call it done.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull room air back to the air handler, and in Plantation they pull in a lot of what’s in the house: dust, pet hair, cooking particulate, and humidity from the western edge of the city near the Loxahatchee water conservation area. A clogged or partially collapsed return run reduces airflow at the air handler, which drives up runtime and pulls more debris into the system. We inspect return runs for kinks and separation before cleaning, because a collapsed return can’t be cleaned, it has to be repaired first.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Plantation means every supply run, every return run, the supply plenum, the return plenum, and the air handler interior. It’s the right scope for homes that still have their original ductwork from the 1970s or 80s, or for anyone who’s never had a video inspection and doesn’t know what’s inside their runs. We photograph every run before and after as standard, so you can see what was actually removed. The photo record is part of the job, not an upsell.
Video Inspection
Video inspection is where every Plantation job starts. We run a camera through the system before we quote anything, because the price depends on what the camera shows: intact runs that just need source removal, or collapsed flex, separated liners, and degraded fiberglass board that need repair first. You’ll see the footage yourself. We don’t ask you to take our word for anything. Air Duct Cleaning without a camera is a guess; we don’t guess on 40-60-year-old Plantation ductwork.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We work on duct systems built with fiberglass duct board and flex duct from the era when Plantation was being built out, and we use equipment brands you can look up independently: Rotobrush and Nikro for mechanical agitation and negative-pressure extraction, Guardsman for sanitizing and odor control, and Honeywell filtration components when a system needs media upgrades. Naming the equipment matters to us because it means you can verify what we’re using before you agree to a price. If you’re in Plantation and want to know exactly what’s being run through your ducts, just ask when you call.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Collapsed or kinked flex duct. The plant-built housing stock in Plantation frequently uses first-generation flex duct whose inner plastic liner separates from the outer insulation jacket after decades of attic heat. The result is a run that looks fine from the outside but traps debris in a pocket that vacuuming alone cannot reach. Our crews routinely cut out and patch these sections before cleaning.
- Fiberglass duct board degradation. Original 1970s fiberglass duct board sheds fibers into the airstream as the binder resin breaks down in high attic temperatures. Those fibers bypass the return filter and end up in the living space. In some Plantation homes, the right fix is replacing the degraded board sections, not just cleaning them.
- Mold colonization accelerated by western-edge humidity. Homes near Plantation’s western border sit against the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge water conservation area. Ground-level humidity moves into the return air, and combined with 11-12 months of AC operation, it creates conditions where mold colonizes the inside of ductwork faster than in coastal Broward cities. A superficial vacuum-only cleaning leaves the mold behind; it comes back within weeks.
- Disconnected runs in attic spaces. In older Plantation homes, sections of ductwork sometimes separate at the joints, especially where original flex was taped rather than mastic-sealed. An air handler pulling 1,800-2,200 square feet will pull attic air and blown-in insulation straight into the system through those gaps. We find and seal disconnects as part of a thorough cleaning, because a clean duct with a gap in it is still contaminated.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation, FL
A full system cleaning on a single-family Plantation home typically runs $390-$690, depending on the number of runs, whether the system is flex or rigid, and what the camera shows. Homes with accessible, intact ductwork on the lower end; homes with original 1960s-1980s flex that needs section repair or fiberglass board that needs replacement land higher, because materials and extra labor are part of the written scope. A video inspection on its own is included with any cleaning we quote.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation
Because the original flex duct and fiberglass duct board in those homes is 40-60 years old and has been baking in attics that hit 130-140°F for decades. The inner liners separate, the runs kink or collapse, and the fiberglass binder degrades. A vacuum pass through a collapsed run removes almost nothing and leaves debris trapped behind the failure point. In Plantation, a meaningful cleaning often starts with repairing the failed sections first, then running source-removal on the restored runs. If you suspect your ducts are original, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll run the camera before we quote anything.
Homes near Plantation’s western edge sit directly against the water conservation area, which drives ground-level humidity into the house and into the return air. That humidity, combined with nearly year-round AC runtime, creates conditions where mold colonizes the inside of supply and return ducts faster than in coastal Broward neighborhoods with ocean-breeze ventilation. The practical effect: a cleaning that only vacuums and doesn’t address the moisture-driven contamination will look dirty again within weeks. We document what the camera shows and give you a written scope that accounts for it. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free video inspection with your estimate.
If you’re seeing white or glassy fibers around your supply registers, or if the interior surface of the duct board feels soft or powdery when inspected, the binder resin has degraded and the board is shedding. Cleaning damaged fiberglass board can make shedding worse. The real fix is cutting out the degraded sections and replacing them, or in some cases re-lining, then cleaning the rest of the system. We’ll show you the camera footage so you can see the condition for yourself before deciding. For a video inspection in Plantation, call (806) 606-6902.
We can, but only after the kinked or collapsed section is repaired or replaced. Running a cleaning tool through a partially collapsed flex run can tear the inner liner further and push debris deeper into the system. Our crews in Plantation regularly cut out failed flex sections, splice in new material, and then run the full cleaning on the restored run. The repair and the cleaning are both included in the written scope we give you before work starts, so there’s no surprise line item. We’ve done exactly this in neighborhoods like Plantation Gardens and Plantation Isles, where 1970s and 80s flex is common. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written assessment.
Every three to five years, and sooner if you notice reduced airflow, dust accumulation around registers, or a musty smell when the AC kicks on. Plantation’s climate runs the AC essentially year-round, and older duct systems degrade faster here than almost anywhere else in Broward County because of the attic heat and western-edge humidity. A video inspection costs nothing when we include it with a cleaning quote, and it tells you whether your ducts need a clean, a repair, or a replacement before anyone starts charging you. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule one.
