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 Miami Heights
Air duct cleaning in South Miami Heights is not a routine chore here the way it is in drier parts of Florida. Homes in South Miami Heights sit against the Everglades, and the moisture that rolls off those wetlands gets pulled into ductwork that runs almost constantly. A full residential system clean in South Miami Heights typically costs $420-$680, and the work takes a half to a full day depending on home size and how many returns are involved. Our crews know the 1970s and 1980s CBS construction that dominates this area, and we know what those unconditioned attics do to flex duct. Call (806) 606-6902 to get a written price before anything gets opened up.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is South Miami Heights’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We built our reputation in South Miami Heights on something simple: we show you the inside of your ducts before we clean them and after we finish. Most homeowners here have never seen their return plenums, and when we run a camera through a 1984 home off SW 112th Avenue and find a plenum box filmed with gray-green colonies, the photo record means the homeowner is not taking our word for it. They can see the condition themselves.
Every job in South Miami Heights starts with a written price delivered before a single panel comes off, per Haven Standard Clause 1. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before they enter your home, per Haven Standard Clause 3. We named the standard because the industry has spent decades hiding behind vague promises, and South Miami Heights homeowners researching duct cleaning are exactly the customers who check credentials before they book.
Tomas Reyes, who leads CleanRun, has built the company since 2013 on a model that treats documentation as the product. That means when our team finishes a job in South Miami Heights, you receive a photo record of every duct run, before and after, as a standard deliverable. Not as an add-on. Not if you ask. It is part of the job, and it has been since the first home we cleaned.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in South Miami Heights
Residential Duct Cleaning
Residential duct cleaning in South Miami Heights means dealing with homes that run their AC nearly twelve months a year. The flex duct routed through unconditioned attics here absorbs humidity daily, and when attic temperatures climb past 130°F in summer, the inner liners break down. We clean every run from the register back to the air handler, and we photograph each section. A typical single-family home in South Miami Heights costs $420-$680 for a full residential clean.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in South Miami Heights carry conditioned air outward, but they also carry whatever has accumulated in the plenum box at the air handler. In homes along the SW 120th Street corridor and east toward the Palmetto Expressway, we regularly find supply plenums that have not been opened since the house was built. Cleaning the supply side properly means accessing the plenum, removing source contamination, and running negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration through every run. Fogging a sanitizer into the registers does not touch the plenum, which is why supply duct cleaning here requires source removal first.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts and return-air plenums in South Miami Heights are the most neglected part of the system. During the 1970s and 1980s construction boom here, many homes had return plenums built into interior walls or ceilings, and long-term owners frequently never open them. The return side pulls unfiltered air from the home constantly, which means it pulls humidity and organic particulate from inside the living space into the ductwork. Our crews clean the return side as a standard part of every full system job, because leaving the return plenum untouched leaves the largest microbial reservoir in the system intact.
Video Inspection
Video inspection is not an upsell for us. It is how we determine what work actually needs to be done before we quote it. In a 1984 CBS home off SW 112th Avenue, our tech pulled a camera inspection through the return-air plenum and found the original fiberglass duct board filmed with gray-green colonies inside the supply plenum box at the air handler. We ran negative pressure with HEPA filtration and agitation tools through all supply and return ducts, then replaced the plenum box because source removal alone cannot fix a substrate that stays wet from the attic’s 130°F condensing cycles. That level of specificity is what a camera inspection gives you, and it is included on every job.
We also provide commercial duct cleaning, full system cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, HVAC cleaning, duct repair and sealing, and air quality and sanitizing. For this page, the emphasis is on the services that matter most to South Miami Heights homeowners: supply ducts, return ducts, and the video evidence that shows what is really inside them.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in South Miami Heights
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, which means we are not running a shop-vac through your ducts and calling it a clean. These are trade-recognized machines built for negative-pressure extraction and HEPA filtration, and you can look up the manufacturers independently before you agree to a price. We also stock replacement components common to the flex-duct and duct-board systems that dominate South Miami Heights homes built between 1970 and 1995. When a plenum box needs replacement, we bring the right materials for this construction era, not whatever is on the truck.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in South Miami Heights Homes
- Microbial growth inside supply plenum boxes at the air handler. In original 1980s fiberglass duct-board plenum boxes still present in many owner-occupied South Miami Heights homes, years of high-humidity air cycling through them creates visible gray-green colonization on interior surfaces. Replacement, not just cleaning, is frequently required because the substrate itself stays wet through daily condensing cycles.
- Degraded flex-duct inner liners releasing fiberglass particles. Attics in South Miami Heights routinely exceed 130°F in summer, and that heat breaks down the inner liners of flex duct over time. Homeowners start seeing fiberglass particles at registers and assume the ducts are dirty, but the actual issue is liner failure that requires repair or replacement of the affected runs.
- Return-air plenums that have never been opened. Interior-wall and ceiling return plenums from the 1970s and 1980s construction era are common throughout South Miami Heights, and crews that skip them leave the largest dust and particulate reservoir untouched. A full system clean without the return side is a half-finished job.
- Moisture infiltration through duct leaks and air-handler condensation. The persistently higher relative humidity east of the Everglades, combined with the high local water table in South Miami Heights, drives moisture into duct leaks and air-handler closets. Chronic condensation inside flex runs promotes mold regrowth even after cleaning if the underlying moisture source is not fixed.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in South Miami Heights, FL
A typical residential full-system duct cleaning in South Miami Heights runs $420-$680 for a single-family home. Homes with two air handlers or extensive flex-duct runs fall higher, generally $650-$900. Commercial duct cleaning starts around $850 and scales with square footage and the number of rooftop units. Supply-only or return-only cleaning is available and runs $180-$320 per side, though we will tell you plainly when a partial clean is a waste of money because the contamination is system-wide. The price you receive is the price you pay: written, fixed, and delivered before work starts under Haven Standard Clause 1. You can also bring a competitor’s written estimate and we will put our number next to it in writing, free.
Why are some duct cleaning quotes so much cheaper?
Cheaper quotes in South Miami Heights almost always mean a per-vent price that balloons once the technician arrives, or a visit that skips the return side entirely, or a fog-and-go treatment that does not involve source removal. A genuine full-system clean with negative-pressure extraction and HEPA filtration costs what it costs because it takes half a day or more and requires professional equipment, not a shop-vac attachment. We do not do per-vent pricing. We give you one flat price per system, written before anything starts.
How do I know the work was actually done?
You receive a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after, as a standard part of every CleanRun job in South Miami Heights. That means you can open the photos and see the difference between the register and the plenum before we touched it and after we finished. If the work is not right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right, in writing, not as a courtesy. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote; estimates are free and written.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in South Miami Heights
South Miami Heights sits directly east of the Everglades conservation wetlands, which means ambient mold spore counts and organic particulate loads are among the highest in Miami-Dade County. Coastal communities like Cutler Bay get ocean breezes that move air through homes more frequently; South Miami Heights gets wet-season standing water, afternoon storms, and near-12-month AC runtime that keeps duct interiors humid around the clock. That combination produces mold colonization in supply plenums and flex runs faster than what coastal homeowners typically experience. Call (806) 606-6902 for a camera inspection and written quote.
No. Fogging a sanitizer into flex ducts without source removal or without fixing condensation at the air handler leaves the microbial substrate in place, and mold regrows within weeks in South Miami Heights’s near-constant AC runtime. Sanitizing without source removal is the duct cleaning equivalent of spraying air freshener in a room with trash under the couch. A genuine clean removes the material that supports growth, and then sanitizing has something to work on. If a contractor offers fogging as a substitute for cleaning, walk away.
Usually not. Fiberglass duct-board plenum boxes from the 1980s, still original in many South Miami Heights homes, absorb moisture over decades and develop microbial growth inside the substrate itself. Cleaning the surface does not remove what is embedded in the fiberglass, and the box stays wet through the attic’s daily condensing cycles. Replacement of the plenum box is the honest fix, and we will show you the camera footage that supports that recommendation before you decide. The written quote for replacement comes before any work begins, per Haven Standard Clause 1.
The return side needs cleaning, and in South Miami Heights it is frequently the dirtier half of the system. Return plenums built into interior walls or ceilings during the 1970s and 1980s draw unfiltered air from the home constantly, collecting dust, pet hair, and humidity. After decades without access, they become the largest particulate reservoir in the system. Cleaning only the supply side leaves that reservoir feeding into your air handler. We include the return side in every full-system clean.
Every three to four years is a reasonable interval for most South Miami Heights homes, and more frequently if you have pets, recent renovations, or a household member with respiratory conditions. Homes directly bordering the Everglades conservation land face higher ambient particulate loads and may benefit from annual inspection with cleaning every two to three years. What matters more than the calendar is what the camera shows. We include video inspection on every job, so the condition of your ducts determines the schedule, not a marketing flyer.
