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 Tamiami
Air duct cleaning in Tamiami runs $390-$690 for a full single-system home, with the work completed in a half day and a written price agreed before we unload a single tool. If your home sits west of SW 137th Avenue toward the Everglades, your ducts face a moisture load that Kendall and Hialeah homes simply don’t, which means the cleaning has to be more thorough and the documentation matters more. We’ve been working on the CBS homes along the Tamiami Trail since 2013, and we know exactly what a 1970s flex-duct system under a 150°F attic does to the air you breathe. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a price in writing before any work begins.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Tamiami’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Tamiami homeowners don’t get to ignore their ductwork the way someone in a drier climate might. The Everglades wetlands begin at your western property line, and the humidity they generate moves through your return grilles every time the AC cycles on. That changes the job. A brush-and-vacuum pass that might pass inspection in Westchester doesn’t address the bio-slime that forms on duct walls here. We know this because our technicians have pulled camera footage from thousands of duct runs in this specific neighborhood, and the pattern is consistent: moisture, microbial colonization, and collapsed liners in the older flex systems.
We also put every finding in writing and every duct run in photographs. When our crew finishes a Air Duct Cleaning job in Tamiami, you receive a documented photo record showing the inside of each supply and return run before and after. That’s not an upsell option. It’s the standard deliverable on every visit, and it means you never have to take our word for what was found. The same applies to pricing. Haven Standard Clause 1 means you get a written price before any panel comes off, every time, with no exceptions.
Tomas Reyes, who leads our Tamiami crews, has a simple rule: if we can’t show you the problem on camera, we don’t ask you to pay to fix it. That’s why we run a video inspection on most full-system cleans here, particularly in homes built during the 1960s through 1980s westward expansion where the flex duct is now 40 to 60 years old and often failing in ways you can’t see from the register.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Tamiami
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Tamiami homes are single-story concrete block, and most of their duct systems run through unconditioned attic space. That means the typical job here involves flex duct that has baked in 150°F heat every summer afternoon and absorbed Everglades humidity every night. Our residential cleaning covers every supply and return run, the plenum, and the register boxes. We use negative-pressure extraction paired with HEPA-filtered source removal so the debris pulled from your ducts doesn’t re-enter your living space. A typical single-family home in the 33184 ZIP area takes four to six hours.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Tamiami’s commercial strip along US-41 and the retail pockets near the Tamiami Canal house offices, medical suites, and small warehouses, most of which have rooftop package units and metal duct runs that accumulate construction dust and kitchen grease aerosol faster than residential systems. We schedule commercial work around business hours when possible, and we photograph every run before and after, the same standard we apply to homes. The written price applies to commercial jobs too. No project starts without one.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts are the runs that carry conditioned air from your air handler to each room’s registers. In Tamiami homes, these are typically flex duct in the attic, and they’re the first place we find collapsed inner liners and mold on the jacket exterior. Cleaning supply ducts properly here means more than brushing. We inspect each run with a camera first, because a flex duct with a delaminated liner can’t be cleaned into good condition. It needs replacement. We’ll show you the footage and tell you exactly which runs can be cleaned and which are beyond cleaning. That’s the honest answer, and it’s what your home needs.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air from your home back to the air handler. In Tamiami, the return side is often the moldiest part of the system, because it pulls in humid household air continuously and rarely dries out between cycles. Skipping the return side during a cleaning is a common industry shortcut that leaves a reservoir of spores right at the air handler inlet. We clean return runs with the same negative-pressure equipment and document them with the same before-and-after photos. If your return grille is in a hallway ceiling near the kitchen or a bathroom, expect more debris there than anywhere else in the system.
We also offer Full System Cleaning and Video Inspection as standalone services. A full-system clean covers supply, return, plenum, coil, and blower compartment. A video inspection gives you a documented record of what’s inside your ducts before you commit to any cleaning or repair work. In Tamiami, where the humidity makes visual evidence more valuable than verbal assurances, we recommend the camera before any major job.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Tamiami
We run professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, brands any homeowner can verify independently, and we pair that with Guardsman for post-cleaning sanitizing where it’s warranted. We don’t use consumer-grade shop vacs and we don’t sell you on a chemical fogging as a substitute for physical removal. In Tamiami specifically, we keep replacement flex duct, mastic sealant, and support strapping on hand because so many older homes need partial duct replacement alongside cleaning. That means most jobs are completed in one visit, without a second truck roll.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Tamiami Homes
After years of working in this community, certain failure patterns show up again and again:
- Collapsed flex duct inner liners: The plastic liner inside 1970s and 1980s flex duct delaminates under sustained attic heat, then folds inward and blocks airflow. Our camera shows the restriction. A brush alone can’t fix it.
- Mold on the exterior duct jacket: Everglades humidity condenses on the outside of cool duct runs in the attic, and that damp surface supports mold growth even when the inside of the duct looks clean. We address both surfaces.
- Sagging and disconnected joints: Original duct hangs and straps degrade over decades, and runs separate at the joints. Conditioned air leaks into the attic, which raises your cooling bill and pulls attic dust into the system. Re-supporting and sealing is part of a proper clean.
- Debris accumulation at the first elbow: In Tamiami’s low-pitch CBS homes, the first bend after the plenum is where construction dust, drywall particles, and pest debris collect. We consistently find a 2 to 3 inch buildup at that first elbow, even in homes that look clean at the register.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Tamiami, FL
Here’s what we charge in Tamiami, in writing, before work begins. A full residential system cleaning for a single-family home runs $390-$690, depending on the number of duct runs, system accessibility, and whether the home has one air handler or two. Supply duct cleaning alone runs $240-$400. Return duct cleaning runs $180-$320. Full system cleaning, which includes supply, return, plenum, coil, and blower, runs $520-$850. Video inspection as a standalone service runs $95-$150, and we apply that amount toward any cleaning you book within 30 days. Partial duct replacement for collapsed runs is priced per linear foot after we show you the camera footage, and you approve the number in writing before we cut anything.
We don’t advertise a $79 price that becomes $900 once the truck is on your driveway. That bait-and-switch model is common in this industry, and it’s exactly the opposite of how we work. You get one flat price per system, agreed before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your home’s square footage, system type, and build year, then give you a written range.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Tamiami
Everglades-adjacent humidity means your ductwork rarely dries out between AC cycles, so microbial growth happens faster and more consistently than in homes even four or five miles east. In Tamiami, we treat duct cleaning as a recurring biological maintenance task rather than a one-time event. The moisture load also means we inspect for mold on both the inside and outside surfaces of flex duct, because the exterior jacket grows mold from condensation even when the interior looks passable. Call (806) 606-6902 for an exact quote.
A collapsed inner liner looks like a flattened or wrinkled section of duct where the internal plastic layer has separated from the insulation and folded inward, creating a visible restriction on camera. Cleaning cannot fix it. Once the liner has delaminated, the duct must be replaced because the airflow blockage is mechanical, not debris-related. We’ll show you the video footage and give you a written replacement price before any work proceeds. Our crews carry replacement flex duct on the truck, so most replacements happen the same visit.
Fogging sanitizer kills some surface mold but does not remove the dead spores, the bio-slime food source, or the debris physically blocking airflow. In Tamiami’s humidity, leaving that material in place means regrowth within weeks, because the moisture conditions that fed the mold haven’t changed. A real cleaning starts with source removal, using negative pressure and HEPA filtration to pull the material out. Sanitizing is only worth paying for after the physical removal is complete, and we’ll tell you when it’s warranted and when it isn’t. Get the straight answer at (806) 606-6902.
In Tamiami, we generally recommend every 2 to 3 years for full-system cleaning, compared to every 4 to 5 years in Westchester or Kendale Lakes. The difference is the Everglades moisture load, which shortens the interval between cleanings by creating conditions for microbial growth much sooner. Homes with pets, recent renovations, or residents with allergies often need annual cleaning on the return side. We’ll look at your system and give you a straight recommendation, not a sales pitch.
No. A high-MERV filter captures particles passing through the filter, but mold already living on the duct walls continues to release spores every time air moves across it. The filter also can’t remove the bio-slime or debris already stuck inside the runs. High-MERV filters are worth using, but they complement cleaning. They don’t replace it. If you want to see exactly what’s growing in your ducts before deciding, our video inspection costs $95-$150 and shows you the evidence on screen. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule.
Key Takeaways
- Full air duct cleaning in Tamiami runs $390-$690 for a single-family home, with a written price before any work starts.
- Everglades humidity and 150°F attic heat create a dual failure mode here: mold on the outside of ducts and collapsed liners inside.
- Every CleanRun job in Tamiami includes a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after.
- Collapsed flex duct liners cannot be cleaned into good condition. We show you the camera footage and price replacement in writing.
- The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work isn’t right, we make it right, in writing, on every job.
Our crew opened a 1970s concrete block home off SW 8th Street near the Tamiami Canal and found flex duct in the unconditioned attic with an inner liner that had delaminated and collapsed inward under 150°F attic heat, while the exterior jacket was colonized with mold from Everglades humidity. We used negative pressure and HEPA-filtered source removal on the still-intact supply and return ducts, then replaced the collapsed runs and re-supported sagging sections, restoring airflow and removing the microbial load in one service visit. That’s the job, done right, and documented.
