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.

If you’re in Fairington, Flat Rock, or anywhere else in Stonecrest and your registers have been blowing dust on the furniture, call (806) 606-6902.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Stonecrest’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Since 2013, our Air Duct Cleaning team has cleaned more than 52,000 homes, and a growing share of them are right here in Stonecrest. We know the flex duct layouts that dominate the city’s 1985-2005 subdivisions, and we know what goes wrong with them. A tech who has worked the Stonecrest-Lithonia corridor can walk into an attic off Browns Mill Road and predict what the camera will show before it’s even powered on.
That knowledge changes the job. Most homeowners call us for a cleaning and end up understanding why their return side has been pulling attic air for years. We show them the photo record. Every job ends with documented before-and-after images of every duct run, delivered to you as part of the standard job record. No one else in the Stonecrest market makes that a written deliverable.
We’re independently owned and operated under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard. That means background-checked, uniformed technicians, a written price before work starts, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, we make it right. We put that in the job record, not just in marketing copy.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Stonecrest
Residential Duct Cleaning
A full residential cleaning in Stonecrest covers every supply and return run, both plenums, the blower cabinet, and each register. Homes here tend to be 2,200 to 3,400 square feet with attic-run flex duct, which means access comes through a hatch in a hallway ceiling and most of the work happens in 130°F-plus heat. Our techs use negative-pressure extraction with HEPA-filtered agitation tools from Rotobrush and Nikro, so what gets dislodged from the duct walls is pulled out of the system rather than blown into the living space.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Stonecrest’s commercial spaces run from medical offices near the mall corridor to churches and daycare centers that were often built in the same construction era as the surrounding homes. The same builder-era duct problems show up in these buildings, just on a larger scale. We schedule commercial work around your operating hours and provide the same written quote and documented photo record we give every residential customer.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the blower into each room. In Stonecrest homes from the 1990s, these supply runs are often flex duct that has sagged between straps, creating low spots where pollen and dust settle and compact. That debris then re-enters the air stream every time the system cycles. A supply-side cleaning removes those deposits and lets us identify any runs that have separated at the boot connection, a problem we see repeatedly in this corridor.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, which means they see every particle that enters your home. In Stonecrest’s spring pollen season, that’s a massive load. A return-side-only cleaning runs $175-$380 depending on the number of returns and their length. We recommend return duct cleaning more often than supply cleaning here, simply because the return side does the heavy filtering work and gets loaded first. And if the return has pulled loose at the boot, we’ll find it on camera and fix it on the spot.
We also offer full system cleaning and video inspection. If you’re not sure what’s needed, start with the camera.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Stonecrest Homes
Stonecrest’s housing stock was built between 1985 and 2005, and the ductwork from that era is now 20 to 40 years old. Here’s what we actually find when the camera goes in:
- Separated flex duct at boot connections. A run can look fine from the attic hatch but has pulled free where it connects to the register boot, so the system pulls raw attic air straight into the house. The owner never knows because the system still cools. We find this on roughly one in four Stonecrest homes we enter.
- Delaminated duct board plenums. 1990s duct board plenums in Stonecrest attics have absorbed years of condensation cycles, and the inner surface begins to separate. Pollen and mold spores lodge in those fibrous surfaces. The outside looks fine. The inside is a different story.
- Blower cabinets caked with pollen. Stonecrest sits in a humid piedmont climate with one of the highest spring pollen counts in the U.S. If the return side hasn’t been cleaned, that pollen gets sucked into the blower cabinet and baked onto the motor housing, reducing airflow and shortening component life.
- Crushed flex runs from attic storage or old repairs. Homeowners shove holiday decorations or spare building materials across the attic floor, not realizing a 10-inch flex run is underneath. A crushed run chokes airflow to a room and creates a pressure imbalance that pulls more attic air through any loose connection.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Stonecrest, GA
A written price comes with every estimate, and the following ranges reflect Stonecrest’s market for a typical single-family home:
- Single-return, one-system home up to 2,000 sq ft: $425-$560
- Standard 2,000-3,000 sq ft home with two returns: $540-$710
- Larger or multi-zone homes over 3,000 sq ft: $690-$890

- Duct sealing at boot connections (per connection): $35-$70
These are whole-system prices, not teaser per-vent figures that turn into a surprise invoice once the van arrives. What can push a Stonecrest job toward the upper end is what the camera reveals: collapsed runs, separated returns, or microbial growth that wasn’t visible from the hatch. We tell you what we found, show you the photo, and give you the written number before we touch it.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Stonecrest
Because “cooling okay” doesn’t mean the duct system is intact. In Stonecrest’s 1985-2005 subdivisions, flex duct was often installed with minimally sealed connections, and after 20 to 40 years in attic heat, those connections fail. The home still cools because the air handler is powerful enough to overcome the loss, but the system is pulling hot attic air and insulation fibers into the living space. The real fix is sealing the boot connections, not just cleaning around them. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote that includes sealing if the camera shows it’s needed.
Spring in Stonecrest is one of the heaviest pollen seasons in the United States, and that pollen enters your return ducts every time the system runs. Homes here benefit from cleaning every two to three years, and if anyone in the house has allergies, annually. The return side loads first, so if you skip a year, at minimum we’d recommend a return-side cleaning rather than doing nothing.
On a recent job off Browns Mill Road in the Fairington subdivision, our techs found a return flex run that had pulled completely free at the boot connection. The air handler had been pulling 140°F attic air loaded with pulverized insulation through the system for at least two summers. We reconnected the run, sealed the boot with mastic, and performed a full negative-pressure cleaning with HEPA-filtered agitation tools. The homeowner noticed the difference in dust on the registers within days. That’s not an edge case here; it’s a recurring pattern.
No. A visual check from the attic hatch misses what’s inside the runs and what’s failed at the connections. You need a video inspection. Our camera goes inside every run, every plenum, and every boot, and the footage becomes part of your documented job record. The photo record is the difference between trusting that work happened and seeing it.
They handle different air and fail in different ways. Supply ducts push conditioned air out and are prone to sagging, compression, and separation at the register boot. Return ducts pull air in and absorb the full pollen load during Stonecrest’s spring. A cleaning that treats them the same misses the real problem. We clean both, separately, because the failure modes are different and because your return side is where the contamination begins. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll show you exactly what each side looks like on camera.
