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 Tigard
Air duct cleaning in Tigard typically costs between $450 and $900 for a full single-family system, with most homes on Bull Mountain or near Summerfield falling in the $500-$700 range depending on duct runs, access, and what the camera finds once we’re inside. We schedule Tigard jobs Monday through Saturday, and our crews arrive with the full equipment loadout already on the truck, not a clipboard and a coupon. If you’re calling from the Fanno Creek corridor or off SW Durham Road, you’ll reach a live person at (806) 606-6902 who can give you a written price before the first panel comes off.
We know Tigard’s housing stock because we’ve worked inside it for years. The split-levels off 121st, the original ranches west of 99W, the newer builds climbing Bull Mountain: each one ages differently, and each one tells us something the moment we open a supply register or run a camera down a return drop. That local familiarity is the difference between a generic cleaning and one that actually addresses what the Tualatin Valley climate does to ductwork over 30 or 40 damp seasons.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is Tigard’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’re independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, founded in 2013, with 52,000+ homes served. Tomas Reyes runs our crews, and every job in Tigard gets the same two deliverables: a written price before work starts and a documented photo record of every duct run when we finish. Not a summary. Not a “your system looked pretty good in there.” Photos. Before and after, taken inside the runs themselves.
Tigard homeowners tend to ask harder questions than most, and we’d rather answer with evidence than reassurance. When a homeowner near the Summerfield community asked whether her original 1974 supply trunks had been touched at any point in five decades, we had the camera footage to show her what was actually there. That’s how we work. A Tigard customer doesn’t have to trust that the job was done; they can look at the record we hand them. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. H.A.V.E.N. Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Tigard
Every home in Tigard is a little different, which is why we don’t run a single cleaning procedure across every job. Here’s what we do most often in this city, and why it matters for the specific housing stock here.
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most single-family homes in Tigard were built between 1970 and 1995, with original sheet metal trunks, fiberglass liner, or early flex duct that has rarely, if ever, been replaced. Our residential cleaning uses source removal with negative-pressure extraction: HEPA-filtered vacuum at the plenum, agitation at each register, and a camera pass to confirm what came out. We work with the home as it is, not as a brochure says it should be. If a return drop has separated at a joint behind a finished wall in a split-level off 121st, we’ll show you the photo before we touch it.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Tigard’s commercial strips along SW Pacific Highway and the Washington Square perimeter include older buildings whose HVAC has seen decades of retail turnover, pet stores, salons, and restaurants. That’s a different kind of particulate load: aerosolized oils, fine hair, renovation dust trapped in returns. We quote commercial work the same way we quote residential: written price, per system, before work starts. No per-vent pricing games. You’ll get a scope in writing and a photo record at the end. If the building has multiple systems, we price each one separately so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts in Tigard are where we find the most condensation-related problems. The Tualatin Valley’s damp season runs long, from October through May, and uninsulated or poorly insulated supply runs in crawlspaces pull cool, damp air against warm metal, creating exactly the conditions where dust binds and bio-film forms. Cleaning supply runs properly means addressing the source of the moisture, not just vacuuming what’s already stuck. We check insulation, look for kinked flex at the boots, and seal what we can before we finish. Homes along the Fanno Creek corridor are more prone to this than homes up on Bull Mountain, but we’ve seen it in both.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts are the part of a Tigard system that often gets skipped by cheaper outfits, because returns are harder to access and easier to ignore. But if a return is pulling air from a hallway with three bedrooms’ worth of dust, pet dander, and the occasional pocket of mold, that’s what’s cycling through the blower and back into the rooms. We clean both supply and return sides as a standard part of every full-system job, using the same negative-pressure setup on each side of the plenum. Separated return joints are common in older Tigard ranches; we find them with the camera and seal them to NADCA standards.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Tigard
Your system’s brand doesn’t change how air moves through it, but it does change how we approach access, filter replacement, and the occasional repair. We stock parts and filters for the Honeywell and Aprilaire systems most common in Tigard homes, and our techs know the access patterns for both. We’ve also used Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration units on jobs where mold or heavy particulate was present, and Guardsman products for sanitizing after source removal. If you want to verify the equipment before you agree to a price, you can. We’ll name everything on the written scope.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Tigard Homes
- Fiberglass liner shedding in 1970s sheet metal trunks. The original ductwork in many Tigard ranches and split-levels used fiberglass-lined sheet metal, and after 40+ years that liner begins to break down and shed into the airstream. We see it most often in Summerfield and the neighborhoods west of 99W, where the systems have simply aged past their design life.
- Bio-film and mold from the long damp season. October through May in the Tualatin Valley means cool, damp air pooling in crawlspaces and against ductwork. When windows stay shut and the heat runs for months, any moisture inside the ducts creates conditions for mold growth on accumulated dust. We find this most often in homes near Fanno Creek and other low-lying drainage corridors.
- Fine dust and pollen loading on rural and semi-rural properties. Homes on the outer edges of Tigard, especially those with unpaved driveways or open fields nearby, pull in dust that standard furnace filters can’t catch. It coats blower motors, plugs evaporator coils, and shortens equipment life. We see blower motor wear from this more often than most homeowners expect.
- Separated flex duct at joints and boots. Even in the newer Bull Mountain construction, flex duct can kink, sag, or separate at the boot connections, especially where runs pass through unconditioned attics or crawlspaces. We find these separations during video inspection and seal them during the cleaning, not as a separate upsell.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Tigard, OR

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Tigard
Every 2 to 3 years, and in some rural-edge Tigard homes closer to every 18 months if you run a wood stove or wood insert and have unpaved driveways or gravel roads nearby. Wood heat produces fine particulate that bypasses standard filters, and unpaved road dust is finer than most people realize. We see heavier loading in homes along the rural southern and western edges of Tigard than we do in the center of town. Call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll tell you what your specific system actually needs after a camera look.
Yes. Summerfield was built in the 1970s, and its homes share an aging original-ductwork profile that most other Tigard neighborhoods have already partially or fully replaced. We see separated return joints, shedding fiberglass liner, and decades of compacted dust in Summerfield systems that simply haven’t been opened in 40 or 50 years. Residents there also spend more time indoors, which makes indoor air quality a bigger factor. If you live in Summerfield and your ducts haven’t been inspected, a video inspection will tell you more in 20 minutes than a guess ever will.
Yes. Most Tigard homes are built on crawlspaces, not basements, and crawlspaces are exactly where mold conditions start: cool, damp air against warm ductwork for months at a time. Homes near Fanno Creek and low-lying areas off SW Hall Boulevard are more prone to this than hillside lots, but any uninsulated supply run in a damp crawlspace can develop bio-film and mold on accumulated dust. If you’re seeing dark staining at the registers or smelling a musty odor when the heat cycles on, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a camera in there to find out what’s actually growing.
Because vacuuming your floors doesn’t touch the dust inside your duct runs. The dust you’re seeing at the registers comes from years of buildup inside the supply and return runs, often breaking loose when the system cycles. In older Tigard homes, this can be decades of accumulated dust cake, especially in runs that haven’t been opened since the house was built. A proper source-removal cleaning pulls that material out of the system, not just off the floor in front of the register.
You need the same cleaning procedure, but rural properties near Tigard usually need it more often. Unpaved driveways, open fields, and wood heat all load fine particulate into the system faster than a suburban lot does, and that dust is hard on blower motors and coils. We schedule rural Tigard jobs with a slightly longer service window, because the drives are farther and the systems are often older, but the price is the same: written, per system, before work starts. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
