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 St. Johns
Air duct cleaning in St. Johns, FL typically costs between $450 and $850 for a full single-system home, depending on square footage and the number of duct runs. Most St. Johns homes we service take four to seven hours to clean properly, not the 90-minute vacuum jobs you’ll see advertised elsewhere. We’re the team that photographs the inside of your ducts before and after, so you know exactly what was removed.
St. Johns isn’t like most Florida markets. The homes are newer, the subdivisions are sprawling, and the ductwork is often contaminated before the first owner ever moves in. Our team knows Durbin Crossing, RiverTown, Beachwalk, and Julington Creek Plantation well enough to know what we’ll find before we open the first register. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is St. Johns’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Since 2013, CleanRun has documented every job with before-and-after photos of the inside of every duct run. That practice started with our founder, Tomas Reyes, who built the company on a simple principle: show the customer what was actually in their ducts, not what a technician claims was in there. Tomas still oversees the documentation standards on every job our St. Johns crews complete.
What we find in St. Johns homes is specific to this market. In four out of five houses we open in Durbin Crossing and RiverTown, we find drywall dust compacted against the boot collars, insulation fibers tangled in the register grilles, and a fine white film coating the inside of the supply plenum. These are homes built within the last ten years. The builders did what builders do: they sealed up the walls and ran the HVAC before the drywall crew ever finished sanding. Nobody cleaned the ducts at handover, and nobody mentioned it at closing.
That’s why St. Johns homeowners call us: not because their ducts are old, but because their ducts were never clean to begin with. You can read reviews from St. Johns customers who requested our Air Duct Cleaning service and received a full photo record showing exactly what came out. We serve St. Johns with crews that know the difference between a two-story dual-zone system in RiverTown and the older single-zone layouts you find elsewhere in Northeast Florida.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in St. Johns
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most St. Johns homes fall into a pattern we see every week: a two-story production home with two air handlers, at least twelve supply registers, and two or three return grilles. We clean every duct run in the system, including the plenum, the trunk lines, and each individual branch line. The process uses negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration and Rotobrush agitation tools that scrub the duct walls while the vacuum pulls debris out. You get a written scope before we start and a photo record of every run when we finish.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
St. Johns has grown fast enough that medical offices, dental practices, and retail storefronts along State Road 13 and County Road 210 are now running commercial HVAC systems that have never been cleaned. We clean commercial ductwork after hours or on weekends so your business never has to close. Every commercial job includes the same documented photo record and written scope we provide on residential work, because the H.A.V.E.N. Standard doesn’t change based on the building type.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in St. Johns homes carry conditioned air from the air handler to every room. When construction debris collects in the supply side, your family breathes it every time the fan kicks on. We clean the full length of each supply run, from the plenum connection to the register boot. In Durbin Crossing homes specifically, we often find the worst debris accumulation at the first elbow after the plenum, where airflow slows and drywall dust settles out of the air stream.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in St. Johns they pull in whatever your family tracks through the house plus whatever the builders left behind. We clean returns with the same negative-pressure process, paying special attention to the return plenum and the filter housing. A return side clogged with construction debris forces your blower motor to work harder than it should, and in St. Johns’s long cooling season that’s a problem that shows up on your electric bill every month.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in St. Johns
Your HVAC system’s manufacturer doesn’t change how we clean it, but it does change how we approach the job. We service and clean ductwork connected to all major HVAC brands found in St. Johns homes, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, and Goodman. We also use professional-grade cleaning equipment from Abatement Technologies for our negative-pressure extraction units and Rotobrush for duct agitation. Those are brands you can look up independently, which is the point: you should know exactly what equipment we’re using before we open a single register. For sanitizing, we use products from Guardsman that are labeled for use in HVAC systems.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in St. Johns Homes
- Post-construction debris from day one. St. Johns homes built after 2010 almost universally have drywall dust, insulation fibers, and wood particulates inside the ducts. The builders never cleaned them, and the debris has been circulating through the system since the first buyer moved in.
- Mold growth accelerated by Northeast Florida humidity. Debris-lined ducts in St. Johns stay consistently cool and moisture-prone on the inside because systems run nine to ten months a year. That’s exactly the environment mold likes, and we find it in homes that are only three to five years old.
- Dual-zone systems cleaned piecemeal. Many St. Johns homes have separate air handlers for upstairs and downstairs. We’ve followed other companies into homes where only one zone was cleaned and the other zone kept dumping construction dust into the living spaces.
- Clogged supply registers in new-construction communities. In Durbin Crossing and RiverTown, we regularly pull registers in three-to-five-year-old homes and find visible drywall dust compacted against the boot collar. That dust has been blowing into the home since move-in day.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in St. Johns, FL
A full-system residential duct cleaning in St. Johns typically runs between $450 and $850. Single-story homes on a slab with a single air handler fall at the low end. Two-story homes with dual-zone systems and extended duct runs through both floors fall at the high end. The most common St. Johns home, a two-story production build in a master-planned community, usually lands between $550 and $750.
Factors that affect the final number include the number of air handlers, the number of supply registers, the total linear feet of ductwork, and whether the system has never been cleaned since construction. Homes that have been cleaned before are faster and cost less. Homes where we’re removing four years of accumulated construction debris take longer. You’ll receive a written price before any work starts, per Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing, no bait-and-switch coupons. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in St. Johns
New St. Johns homes need air duct cleaning because builders rarely clean construction debris out of the ductwork before handover, and the first HVAC service call won’t address it either. Your first service visit will replace the filter and check the refrigerant, but nobody will open the registers and photograph the drywall dust sitting in the boots. In St. Johns specifically, where most homes are built on post-2010 master-planned subdivisions, this is a systemic issue, not a rarity. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
A builder should have sealed the registers during construction, cleaned the ducts after drywall sanding was complete, and documented it. Almost none do. If your builder had sealed the registers, the dust would have settled on the subfloor instead of getting pulled into the returns. We pull drywall dust out of Durbin Crossing homes every week, and the evidence is in the photo record we give you. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you what’s in your ducts.
Yes, construction dust from a new RiverTown home can cause mold in Florida’s humidity because the organic material in drywall dust and insulation fibers provides a food source for mold when combined with the moisture that collects inside cool ducts. St. Johns’s systems run nine to ten months a year, which means the duct surfaces stay cool long enough for condensation to form. Add construction debris, and you’ve created the conditions mold needs. We identify mold during our video inspection and document everything. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
Yes, dual-zone systems in Julington Creek Plantation take longer to clean because there are two separate air handlers, two plenums, and two sets of duct runs. A typical single-zone home takes four to five hours. A dual-zone two-story in Julington Creek Plantation often takes six to seven hours because we clean both zones completely. Anyone who quotes you the same number for a dual-zone as a single-zone hasn’t looked at the system. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price based on your actual system.
Yes, you should get a video inspection before cleaning a 3-year-old St. Johns house because the inspection tells you whether the ducts are actually dirty and what’s in them. For a St. Johns home built in the last five years, the inspection almost always finds construction debris: drywall dust, insulation fibers, wood particulates. Our video inspection is included as part of the job, and the before-and-after footage becomes part of your documented photo record. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
