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 The Hammocks
Most air duct cleanings in The Hammocks don’t fail because the technician skipped a vent. They fail because the crew treated a mold-and-humidity problem like a dust problem. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning operates differently. We clean return-air boxes, supply plenums, and every accessible duct run with negative-pressure extraction and HEPA filtration, then photograph the inside of each run before and after so you can see what was actually removed. If your The Hammocks home runs AC eleven months a year, you’re not just dealing with dust; you’re dealing with a saturated microclimate that feeds biological growth. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll give you a written price before a single panel comes off.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is The Hammocks’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve worked enough homes between the canal banks and the preserve edges to know what The Hammocks throws at ductwork. Mold spores ride in on air drawn from the drainage canals and remnant hammock preserves. Humidity lingers at ground level. Flex-duct systems installed before Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 code revision are now 30 to 40 years old, and their inner liners are brittle, shedding, and often actively colonized. Most companies show up with a shop vac and a coupon. We show up with a camera, a written scope of work, and the expectation that you’ll want to see the evidence.
Every CleanRun visit to The Hammocks includes a Documented Photo Record of the inside of every duct run, before and after. That’s Haven Standard Clause 2. The tech explains what the camera showed in plain language: a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, a return-air box with visible colonization, a crushed flex run behind the water heater. You get the photos, the written price, and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. That’s in writing, not in a sales script.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes leads the team and oversees every The Hammocks job from scheduling through final photo review. Since 2013, we’ve served 52,000+ homes, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in The Hammocks
Residential Duct Cleaning
Homes in The Hammocks were built to run AC nearly nonstop, which means supply and return ducts accumulate biological load at a rate you wouldn’t see in a seasonally temperate market. We run negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration through each accessible run, then photograph the result. A typical single-family home in The Hammocks runs $450-$750 for a full residential system clean, depending on the number of runs and whether the system includes original pre-1992 flex ductwork.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Offices, medical suites, and retail spaces along Hammocks Boulevard and near the community’s commercial corridors face the same canal-fed humidity as the homes. We schedule commercial work around your operating hours and deliver the same documented photo record for every run. Commercial jobs in The Hammocks typically run $1,200-$2,800 depending on square footage and system complexity. A written price comes before any work begins.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the air handler to each register. In The Hammocks, we frequently find condensation at poorly sealed joints inside these runs, which turns airborne spores into active growth. Our supply duct cleaning in The Hammocks typically runs $250-$450 for a standard home. We can clean supply runs independently or as part of a full system clean, depending on what the camera inspection shows.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts are where The Hammocks homes hide their worst problems. The return-air box draws in whatever the return side pulls from the home; near the canal banks, that includes elevated spore counts. We clean the return duct and the return-air box itself, then treat the box with antimicrobial, because in this microclimate, skipping that step means recolonization within months. Return duct cleaning in The Hammocks typically runs $200-$400.
Video Inspection
Before we clean anything, we look. Every CleanRun job in The Hammocks includes a video inspection of the accessible duct interior, because the right fix depends on what’s actually inside. A camera inspection shows whether you’re dealing with dust, active mold, or a disintegrating liner. We show you the footage. Then we give you a written scope and a written price. Video inspection as a standalone service runs $150-$250 in The Hammocks.
Full System Cleaning
A full system clean means supply runs, return runs, the return-air box, the supply plenum, and the air handler cabinet. In The Hammocks, this is the most common service we recommend, because the defining challenge here isn’t one dirty register; it’s biological load distributed across the entire system. Full system cleaning in The Hammocks typically runs $500-$850 for homes under 2,500 square feet. Larger homes with extensive flex-duct runs run $850-$1,300. Every quote is written, flat, and per system, not per vent.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes
- Active mold in return-air boxes on homes with no water intrusion. The Hammocks sits at the Everglades fringe. Spore-heavy air from canal banks and preserve edges gets drawn into return sides, and hidden mold growth becomes the defining problem, not dust.
- Brittle fiberglass liners in original pre-1992 flex ducts. Ductwork installed before Hurricane Andrew’s code revision has spent 25-40 years in hot, humid attic spaces. The inner liner breaks down and sheds into supply and return runs.
- Condensation at poorly sealed joints. Near-universal in The Hammocks. The constant AC run time, combined with canal-fed humidity, creates condensation inside ducts at every loose connection, which feeds biological growth.
- Crushed or disconnected flex runs. We find plenty of runs that were never properly suspended or have been crushed by stored boxes and attic traffic, which means conditioned air never reaches the rooms it should.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in The Hammocks
Mold keeps coming back in The Hammocks ducts because most cleanings never address the source: the return-air box and plenum. Technicians clean visible registers, maybe run a basic vacuum through the trunk line, and leave the return-air box loaded with spores. In The Hammocks’ canal-fed humidity, the spores recolonize within months. We treat the return-air box and plenum with antimicrobial after source removal, which is standard practice here, not an upsell. Call (806) 606-6902 and ask for a video inspection of your return-air box; we’ll show you what’s there before quoting anything.
It depends on what the camera shows, but here’s the honest answer for The Hammocks. If the inner liner is still intact, cleaning and sealing is worthwhile. If the liner is brittle and shedding fiberglass into the supply runs, cleaning alone won’t fix it; you need replacement or at minimum sealing of the failing sections. Our video inspection tells you which situation you have, in footage you can see. We won’t sell replacement if cleaning + sealing will do the job. Written price first, either way.
In The Hammocks, every 2-3 years is a realistic interval, sooner if you live near a canal bank or preserve edge. The AC runs essentially year-round, and humidity keeps the biological load building even when the system isn’t actively pulling air. Homes with pets, recent construction, or visible dust at registers may need attention annually. We document every cleaning with before-and-after photos, so you can see the rate of accumulation over time rather than guessing. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll help you set a realistic schedule based on your home, not a generic calendar.
Signs of mold rather than dust in The Hammocks ducts include a persistent musty odor when the AC cycles, dark staining around supply registers, visible growth inside the return-air box when you look past the filter, and respiratory irritation that improves when you leave the house. Dust is dry and blows away; mold clings and stains. The only way to know for certain is a camera inspection of the return-air box and accessible runs. We include that in every full system cleaning, which in The Hammocks typically runs $500-$850.
Yes, in specific circumstances. If the evaporator coil is coated, the return-air box is clogged, or flex runs are partially crushed, the system works harder to move the same air. In The Hammocks, where AC runs most of the year, that inefficiency adds up fast. Clearing the coil, cleaning the return path, and repairing crushed runs can meaningfully reduce runtime. What it won’t do is turn a 20-year-old, undersized system into a high-efficiency unit. We’ll tell you what the cleaning can and can’t fix, in writing, before any work starts. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
