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 Southaven
Air duct cleaning in Southaven, MS typically runs between $450 and $850 for a full single-family system, and most jobs are completed in 4 to 6 hours. The price depends on the number of duct runs, the condition of the plenum and return drops, and how many registers the home has. If you’re in a 3-bedroom tract home off Getwell Road or a larger two-story off Church Road, we give you a written price before any work starts, every time. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule a video inspection first: we show you the inside of your ducts on camera, then put the scope and price in writing.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Southaven’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We don’t ask Southaven homeowners to take our word for anything. Since 2013, CleanRun has operated under the Haven Standard, which means every job gets a written price before work begins and a photographed record of the inside of every duct run when the crew leaves. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs that work in writing. If it isn’t right, we make it right. No manager discretion, no fine print.
Tomas Reyes, who leads our crews, built CleanRun as a direct response to the $79 coupons and shop-vac theater that dominate this trade. When we open a duct panel in a Southaven attic, the camera goes in first. You see what we see. We walk you through the footage on our tablet before we quote the cleaning. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1: written price before any work starts. The same rule applies whether you call us from the Cherry Tree Park area or from a subdivision off Tchulahoma Road.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. Dispatch and scheduling for Southaven jobs are coordinated from our Memphis office, and crews serve Southaven daily.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Southaven
Southaven’s housing stock gives us a clear picture of what most jobs will involve before we arrive: 20- to 35-year-old flex duct and fiberglass duct board in unconditioned attics that bake above 130°F all summer. Here’s what we do in Southaven homes.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Full system cleaning for single-family homes covers supply ducts, return ducts, the plenum, and both register boxes. We use negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration so debris is pulled from the ducts and captured at the machine, not blown back into the living space. For Southaven tract homes built between 1988 and 2005, this is the service most residents call about first: a gray dust coating on registers is usually the first visible sign that duct liner is breaking down inside.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
We clean duct systems in Southaven’s offices, medical suites, and retail spaces along the Goodman Road corridor and Airways Boulevard. Commercial cleaning follows the same protocol: camera inspection first, written price second, documented photo record after. We schedule around business hours to avoid disrupting your operation, and the scope of work is written before equipment comes off the truck.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from your air handler to each room. In Southaven, these ducts often run through 130°F+ attic spaces, which drives condensation on poorly insulated runs and accelerates liner breakdown. We clean supply ducts by removing register covers, sealing all drops, and pulling negative pressure at the air handler so debris can’t escape into the house. If the camera shows a collapsed flex run or delaminating duct board, we document it and give you a separate written scope for repair or replacement.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the system and are typically the most contaminated part of a Southaven home’s ductwork. They collect dust, pet hair, carpet fibers, and whatever else circulates through living spaces, and because return plenums often sit at negative pressure, gaps at seams actively pull attic air into the system. We seal returns as we clean them and include filtered makeup air during extraction so the system isn’t pulling unconditioned attic air while we work.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Southaven
Southaven HVAC systems are dominated by equipment that’s been running hard for two decades or more, so we keep our equipment matched to the task. Our crews run Rotobrush and Nikro cleaning systems, and we use Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration units on every negative-pressure extraction. For homes adding filtration or dehumidification after a cleaning, we install Honeywell and Aprilaire components. Naming the equipment matters: you can look up exactly what’s being run on your system before you approve the price. We don’t use names to decorate a flyer; we use them because the results are reproducible.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Southaven Homes
- Fiberglass duct board delaminating from heat. Southaven attics regularly exceed 130°F in July and August, which breaks down the adhesive and inner liner of fiberglass duct board. The camera shows a white-powder residue inside supply ducts and around bedroom registers. That’s not household dust; it’s duct material in the airstream.
- Mold blooms from attic condensation. Humid Mississippi air meets cold supply ducts in hot attics: condensation forms, soaks the duct liner, and feeds mold. Our crews find this most often in homes built during the 1988-2005 growth surge, where builder-grade insulation around ducts was thin to begin with.
- Collapsed flex duct at connection collars. 1990s-era flex duct has a plastic inner liner that kinks and collapses at the metal collar connections. The result: an upstairs bedroom that stays 78°F in summer no matter how long the system runs. The blower motor runs constantly, uses more power, and still doesn’t deliver airflow.
- Same duct failure on the same street. In Southaven subdivisions built by the same developer in the same year, the duct layouts and materials were identical. We’ve inspected one house in the Goodman Road corridor and then inspected three more on the same block the same week. All four had the same delaminated duct board. When one neighbor calls us, the neighbors on either side often have the same issue waiting in the attic.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Southaven, MS
A full single-family Air Duct Cleaning in Southaven runs $450 to $850 for a typical 3- or 4-bedroom home. One-flat-price-per-system is how we quote. Not per vent. Not a teaser price that becomes something else when the van pulls into your driveway. The written price covers the entire system: supply and return ducts, plenum, and register boxes. If you need video inspection only, that’s $129 for a full camera survey of your ductwork, with the footage provided to you as part of the record.
Post-storm work that includes source removal, HEPA filtration, and documentation for an insurance claim typically falls at the higher end of that range. The exact figure depends on the number of runs, the extent of contamination, and whether any failed duct sections need to be flagged for replacement. You’ll know the number before we start. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written estimate. We also offer a free second opinion on any written quote you have from another company: bring the estimate, and we’ll put our own number next to it in writing.

After a Storm Soaked My Attic: Cleaning vs. Replacement in Southaven
Southaven sits in a humid subtropical climate, and when a summer storm passes through with 60 mph winds, the rain can get into attic spaces through vent caps, roof penetrations, or soffit gaps. Once water reaches the duct runs, homeowners face a question: can the ducts be cleaned, or do they need to be replaced? The answer depends on what the camera and moisture meter show. Fiberglass duct board that has been soaked is nearly impossible to dry properly, because the fibers absorb water and hold it. Flex duct with a soaked outer jacket can sometimes be saved if the inner liner is intact, but once biological growth is visible on the inner surface, cleaning is not a repair. We don’t guess. We document.
Our crew ran a camera inspection on a Goodman Road corridor home after a summer storm soaked an attic run. The fiberglass duct board was delaminating and mold was visible on the inner liner, so we showed the homeowner footage of the collapsed flex duct and documented moisture entry at the register. We performed source removal with negative pressure and HEPA filtration on the supply and return ducts, then flagged the failed section for replacement. With photos and moisture readings, the insurer accepted the documentation.
That’s the difference between a cleaning and a claim. If your ducts are contaminated and can be cleaned, we clean them and document it. If sections have failed, we give you a separate written scope with camera footage and moisture data attached. You don’t have to argue with an adjuster; you show them the record. This is the page that tells Southaven homeowners how post-storm water intrusion is documented with camera footage and moisture data so an insurer can tell the difference between a cleanable duct system and a replaceable one.
Why Southaven Homes Built Around 1995 Have More Duct Problems Than Older Memphis Houses
Southaven’s explosive growth from rural DeSoto County farmland into a dense Memphis bedroom community happened primarily from the late 1980s through the early 2000s. That created a massive, similarly-aged wave of tract homes, nearly all of them with ductwork routed through unconditioned attics rather than conditioned basements or crawlspaces. The builder-grade flex duct and fiberglass duct board used in that era is now 20 to 35 years old and deteriorating simultaneously across entire subdivisions. Mississippi’s summer heat pushes attic temperatures above 130-140°F, which accelerates liner breakdown and releases fiberglass particles and mold spores directly into living spaces.
Older Memphis homes, by contrast, often have basements, crawlspaces, or at least some conditioned space where ductwork runs at lower temperatures. The failure mode we see in Southaven is concentrated: a whole subdivision’s ductwork ages on the same clock. When one home shows severe liner deterioration or a mold bloom, the houses on either side almost always match it exactly. That’s why our block-level follow-up calls in Southaven are unusually productive. It’s also why we don’t copy-paste advice from generic HVAC sites: Southaven isn’t a generic market.
What Does NADCA Standards Mean for My Southaven Duct Cleaning?
NADCA is the trade association for air duct cleaners, and its ACR standard defines how source removal should be performed: negative pressure at the system, debris extracted to HEPA-filtered equipment, no debris blown into the living space. CleanRun’s cleaning protocol meets NADCA standards. We don’t advertise the logo as decoration; we operate to the method. For Southaven homeowners, that means the cleaning isn’t a brush slapped around the first foot of duct visible from the register. It means every accessible run gets cleaned from the register to the plenum, with the system under negative pressure so debris is captured, not redistributed.
What NADCA doesn’t do is tell a homeowner whether a section of duct needs replacement. That’s a judgment call made from camera footage and moisture data. We provide both. The standard covers cleaning; the documentation covers the decision.
Can You Show Me Proof of Mold in My Ducts Before I Call My Insurance?
Yes. Our $129 video inspection includes a full camera survey of the duct system, and you keep the footage. If we document mold, delamination, or water damage, we’ll give you photos and moisture readings at the specific locations where we found them, along with a written scope that separates cleaning work from replacement work. That written record is what you send to your insurer. We don’t tell you what your adjuster will approve. We give you the evidence that lets the adjuster make the decision. The footage is yours, and it’s included as a standard deliverable on every job, not an upsell.
Why Do Neighbors on My Street All Have the Same Duct Problems at the Same Time?
In Southaven subdivisions built during the 1988-2005 surge, one developer often built dozens or hundreds of homes in the same phase with identical duct layouts and the same batch of duct board. When that material reaches its failure point from heat and humidity, it fails on the same street at the same time. We have walked three houses in a row in the same subdivision and documented the same delaminated liner, the same collapsed flex run, the same gray dust at the registers. If your neighbor’s ducts are failing, it’s worth getting a camera into yours before you spend another summer paying to cool an attic through leaky, contaminated ductwork.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Southaven
You know after a camera inspection and moisture readings identify what got wet and how badly. Fiberglass duct board that absorbed storm water almost always needs replacement, because the material holds moisture and supports mold growth that cannot be cleaned out. Flex duct with a damp outer jacket may be cleanable if the inner liner is intact, but if mold is visible on the inner liner, cleaning won’t resolve it. We document everything with footage and moisture data so you can make a decision based on evidence, not a sales pitch. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection after any attic water intrusion.
Southaven’s 1988-2005 tract-home boom produced thousands of homes with builder-grade flex duct and fiberglass duct board in unconditioned attics, where summer temperatures above 130°F accelerate deterioration. Older Memphis homes often have basements or crawlspaces that keep ductwork at lower, more stable temperatures. The Southaven failure pattern is age- and heat-driven, and it’s concentrated in entire subdivisions at once.
NADCA sets the standard for source removal: negative pressure at the system, debris extracted to HEPA-filtered equipment, and no contamination released into the living space. CleanRun’s cleaning protocol meets NADCA standards. The practical meaning for your Southaven home is that we clean the entire accessible duct run, not just the first few feet visible from the register.
Yes. Our video inspection and documentation package gives you camera footage, still photos, and moisture readings at every location where we documented contamination or damage. You keep the footage. The written record separates cleaning scope from replacement scope, and the insurer reviews the evidence, not our opinion. The documentation is included as a standard deliverable.
Because entire Southaven subdivisions built by the same developer in the same year used the same duct layouts and the same batch of materials. When that material ages out from heat and humidity, it fails across the whole block on the same schedule. If your neighbor’s ducts have failed, yours are probably at the same stage.
