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 Severn
Air duct cleaning in Severn, MD typically costs $380-$620 for a full system on a single-family home, with most jobs completed in 4-6 hours. We schedule Severn work every weekday, and our crews know the townhome stacks off MD-175 and the split-levels near Quarterfield Road without needing directions. If your ducts haven’t been cleaned since you bought the place, or you just moved in and found no maintenance records, call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before anything gets opened up.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Severn’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Severn is different from Odenton or Crofton in one specific way: the housing stock turns over constantly. Fort Meade assigns families in and out on PCS orders, and every move-in triggers the same question: what’s actually inside these ducts? We answer it with a camera, not a guess. Since 2013, our Air Duct Cleaning crews have worked through more than 52,000 homes, and every one of them left with a documented photo record of what was inside the duct runs before and after. No exceptions, no “trust us” moments.
Homeowners in Severn call us for a specific reason: we put the written price on the table before a single panel comes off. Haven Standard Clause 1 is the whole point. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. Tomas Reyes, who leads the team, set that standard in 2013 and hasn’t moved off it since. When you book a cleaning in Severn, you’ll know exactly what it costs, what we’ll do, and what you’ll receive when we’re done. That’s written down, not just said over the phone.

Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Severn homes we clean are colonials and split-levels built between the late 1960s and early 1990s, with original sheet metal or early-replacement flex duct that hasn’t been opened since installation. A standard residential cleaning covers every supply and return run, the plenum, the blower cabinet, and the registers. We set up negative-pressure extraction at the air handler, seal off each run, and remove what’s actually in there, not just what a shop-vac can reach from the register opening.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Severn has a mix of small office parks, medical suites, and retail spaces along MD-175 and Telegraph Road, many in buildings that share HVAC chases and rooftop units. Commercial jobs in Severn require coordination with property management, sometimes for off-hours work or parking permits in restricted lots. We schedule these around tenant hours so the negative air machine doesn’t disrupt a waiting room. Written price, documented photo record, same standard as every residential job.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts move conditioned air from the blower into your rooms, and in Severn’s humid summers they carry that air through unconditioned attics and crawl spaces. Condensation forms on the outside of the duct, and dust clings to the inside. Supply duct cleaning in Severn often reveals lint, insulation fibers, and hair packed into the first few feet of the run where it leaves the plenum. We remove it with HEPA-filtered negative pressure, not by blowing it back into the house.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in older Severn homes they’re frequently under-sized and poorly sealed at the joints. What we see in return ducts off MD-174 is often the worst of the worst: the return side of a system pulls from hallways and stairwells, collecting everything that settles in the house. A camera inspection before cleaning shows the customer exactly what’s resting in there. After cleaning, the photo record shows the same run clean. Same angle, same lighting, no ambiguity about whether the work was done.

Full System Cleaning and Video Inspection in Severn
Full system cleaning is the standard we recommend for any Severn home that has changed hands more than once with no maintenance records. One service covers the supply runs, return runs, plenum, blower cabinet, and all registers. Video inspection is included before and after. We use Abatement Technologies negative air machines and Rotobrush agitation systems, and the camera footage becomes part of your job record, not something we keep on our phone and never show you. If we find degraded flex duct, separated joints, or a return side pulling from a crawl space with ground moisture, we document it and give you a written scope for repair. No pressure, just evidence.
Trusted Brands We Service in Severn
Age is the real variable in Severn. We service systems built around Honeywell and Aprilaire components, and we use Abatement Technologies and Guardsman equipment on the cleaning side. If your Severn home still runs original Honeywell controls or an Aprilaire filter housing from the 1980s, that’s common. We don’t upsell you on replacement parts you don’t need. If a component is working, we say so. If it’s not, we show you the photo and write the scope. That’s the whole relationship.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Severn Homes
- Military turnover dust: PCS cycles mean a home off MD-175 can see three or four families in a decade. Each one brings pets, furniture, and habits. We’ve pulled return registers and found the flex duct liner separating from 20-plus years of accumulated dander and dust that no one ever addressed.
- Crawl-space condensation: Many Severn split-levels duct through vented crawl spaces. Summer humidity above 80% keeps the outside of the duct wet for months. Dust inside the duct clings to that damp interior, and mold follows. Cleaning removes the organic material mold feeds on.
- Townhome dryer vent stacks: In stacked Severn townhomes, the dryer vent often runs through a shared chase between units. Lint packs in at the elbows. A cleaning that skips the shared stack leaves the real fire hazard untouched, and it’s not even inside your own walls.
- Handyman “blow-outs”: A compressed-air blow-out without sealing the air handler sends decades of dust back into the bedrooms. We’ve seen it in Severn more than once. The fix is negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, not forcing air the wrong way through an open system.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Severn, MD
A full system cleaning on a single-family home in Severn runs $380-$620. Townhomes off MD-175 and Telegraph Road typically fall between $290-$420, depending on the number of runs and whether the air handler is in an attic, closet, or crawl space. Supply-only or return-only cleaning starts around $180-$260 per section. Our commercial jobs are priced per system, not per vent, with one written number before work starts. We don’t do per-vent pricing, and we don’t run a low teaser rate that turns into something else once the van pulls up. What we quote is what you pay. Haven Standard Clause 1.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Severn
A renovation in a Severn townhome usually means paint, flooring, and maybe a kitchen refresh. The ductwork almost never gets touched. The previous tenants, often a military family on a short assignment, may have lived there for two or three years with pets and never once cleaned the system. A “renovated” unit can still have 20-plus years of accumulated debris in the duct runs, especially in the shared chases. If there’s no photo record from the seller, treat the ducts as unknown. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written inspection quote.
Yes, but it requires coordination. We’ve worked in Severn condo buildings where the garage clearance won’t fit our negative air machine. We stage equipment outside the garage in a permitted zone, run hoses through the stairwell or elevator, and keep the job within building management’s hours. Our crews carry identification and our license number is on the paperwork we hand over. Property managers get the same written scope and photo record as the homeowner. If your condo association needs documentation before approving access, we’ll provide it. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll walk through the building’s requirements with you.
Cleaning removes the organic material that mold and mildew feed on: dust, skin cells, pet dander, and lint that have accumulated inside the ducts. It does not change the fact that your crawl space is humid. What it does is give you a clean slate, and our video inspection will show you exactly what condition the ducts are in, including any separation at the joints where crawl-space moisture is getting pulled into the return side. If the ducts need sealing or insulation repair, we’ll document it and write the scope. You decide what happens next. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written assessment.
For most Severn rentals, a video inspection tells you what you’re dealing with before anyone starts a cleaning. If the camera shows clean duct runs, you don’t need to pay for a full cleaning. If it shows 20 years of accumulated debris, you’ll see it on the screen, and then you decide. We charge for the inspection, but that inspection becomes part of the cleaning price if you go ahead. A cleaning isn’t automatically necessary. An inspection is, because it removes the mystery most Severn rentals carry from multiple short-term tenants. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule one.
In a stacked townhome, the dryer vent usually runs horizontally through a shared wall chase, then up through the neighboring unit’s wall before it terminates on the roof. In a single-family colonial, the vent typically runs a shorter, dedicated path to an exterior wall. The shared stack is where lint packs in at elbows and where a fire hazard gets missed if the cleaner only checks the section inside your own unit. A proper townhome dryer vent cleaning in Severn follows the full run, not just the part you can see. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote that includes the whole stack.
