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 South Bradenton
Air duct cleaning in South Bradenton typically runs $380-$650 for a full single-system home, and older concrete-block houses with original flex ductwork often land at the higher end because the labor involves sealing and remediation, not just vacuuming. We schedule most South Bradenton jobs within 3-5 business days, and every job ends with a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price and a real appointment, not a bait price.
Our crews work regularly in South Bradenton neighborhoods like Bayshore Gardens, Whitfield, and the corridor along 14th Street West. We know these houses. Many of them were built between 1955 and 1975, and the ductwork tells the story of every tenant, every DIY remodel, and every summer the attic hit 150°F.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is South Bradenton’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
South Bradenton homeowners call us because we document what we find. The camera goes in before any cleaning starts, and the photos go into the job record. If a run is collapsed, we show you the collapsed run. If the fiberglass liner is peeling, you see the peeling liner. That matters in a market where too many duct cleaning companies sell an hour of vacuum noise for a $79 coupon. Our Air Duct Cleaning team has served over 52,000 homes since 2013, and every single one got a written price before a panel came off the air handler.
Tomas Reyes runs our crews and has seen every failure mode South Bradenton can throw at a duct system. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with names on file and equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. You’ll recognize the equipment. That’s the point.
We also operate under the Haven Standard. Haven Standard Clause 1 means a written price before any work starts. Haven Standard Clause 3 means verified crews. No exceptions, no manager approval required.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in South Bradenton
Full System Cleaning
This is the service most South Bradenton homes need. We clean the supply trunks, return drops, every accessible branch run, the plenum, and the air handler cabinet. On older CBS homes, we routinely find the return side has been pulling attic air through loose joints for years. Full system cleaning in South Bradenton runs $450-$650 for a typical 1,400-1,800 square foot home. You get photos of every run before and after.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply duct cleaning in South Bradenton focuses on the pressurized side of the system, the side that pushes conditioned air into your rooms. These runs collect fine dust and, in humid coastal conditions, microbial growth on the liner. A supply-only clean runs $220-$320. We recommend it only when the return side is in good shape, which in this market is not common.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return duct cleaning in South Bradenton is often the more critical job. The return side is under negative pressure, meaning it sucks air in. If the return runs have gaps, they’re pulling 150°F attic air and mold spores directly into the system. Return-only cleaning runs $180-$280, but we typically quote it as part of a full system clean in older homes because the return is where the damage concentrates.
Video Inspection
We include video inspection with every full system clean in South Bradenton. The camera goes into the duct at the plenum and travels the full run. If you’re on the fence about whether you need cleaning at all, we offer a standalone video inspection for $99. You see the footage in real time, and you keep the recording as part of the job record.

We work on systems from every major manufacturer, and we keep consumables and common replacement parts on hand for fast turnaround in South Bradenton. Our equipment roster includes Honeywell and Aprilaire components for filtration upgrades, plus Abatement Technologies HEPA-filtered negative-air machines for the cleaning itself. If you’ve got original 1970s fiberglass-wrapped flex from when the house first got central air, we’ll identify it, show you what’s failing, and quote a replacement using Guardsman materials when that’s the right call. No generic parts, no mystery-brand flex.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in South Bradenton Homes
- Collapsed original flex runs. South Bradenton’s post-WWII concrete-block homes often still have the flex ductwork installed with their first central AC. Decades of 150°F attic summers cause the internal wire coil to fail, flattening or kinking the run. Airflow drops, and the system pulls attic contamination.
- Mold-colonized fiberglass liner. Relative humidity here routinely exceeds 85%, and systems run 10-11 months a year. Original fiberglass duct liner absorbs moisture, breaks down, and becomes a microbial breeding ground. This is the defining air quality problem in South Bradenton rentals, more than in better-maintained homes in Sarasota proper.
- Deferred maintenance from rental turnover. A large share of South Bradenton’s housing stock has been converted to rentals, and duct cleaning is rarely done between tenants. We regularly clean systems that have gone 20-30 years without service. The photo record shows exactly what accumulated.
- Unsealed return plenums pulling attic air. On 1960s and 1970s homes, the return side was often never sealed properly at the air handler. The gap is small enough to hide, but big enough to pull mold-laden attic air into the living space. We seal it with mastic as part of a full system clean.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in South Bradenton
Mold in ductwork is more common in South Bradenton because the housing stock is older and more heavily rental-converted, with original fiberglass-lined flex that has rarely been professionally cleaned. Positioned between the Manatee River and Sarasota Bay, South Bradenton sits in a coastal humidity trap where systems run 10-11 months a year in ambient humidity exceeding 85%. The constant moisture plus decades of deferred maintenance creates conditions Sarasota’s newer, more frequently renovated homes simply don’t have. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you what’s inside your ducts with a camera.
A typical 1970s South Bradenton rental duct cleaning finds collapsed original flex runs, separated fiberglass liner, and a thick layer of dust and microbial growth that has accumulated over multiple tenant cycles without service. We document every finding with photos before and after. The owner gets the photo record, the tenant gets air that doesn’t smell like the attic. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Yes, we seal ducts after cleaning a 1950s CBS home when the video inspection shows gaps at the return plenum or at branch connections. Sealing with mastic is included in our full system clean when leaks are identified, not billed as a surprise add-on. The scope is written before work begins, and you approve it in writing. Call (806) 606-6902 for an assessment of your specific system.
A full duct cleaning for an older South Bradenton house takes 4-7 hours, depending on the number of runs and their condition. Homes with original flex that requires sealing or replacement will take longer, and we’ll tell you that before we start. The job includes setup, negative-pressure extraction, mechanical agitation of every accessible run, and the before-and-after photo record. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
In many South Bradenton homes, original 1970s fiberglass liner is too degraded to clean properly. If the liner is intact and structurally sound, we can clean it with HEPA-filtered negative-pressure equipment. If it’s separating or mold-colonized throughout, cleaning is not the right fix, and we’ll recommend replacement with Guardsman or equivalent materials. We’ll show you the camera footage and give you a written quote for either path. Call (806) 606-6902 for an honest recommendation, not an automatic upsell.
