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 University Park
Air duct cleaning in University Park typically costs $425-$780 for a full single-family system, and the work usually takes four to seven hours. That price includes the entire supply and return network, not a teaser rate that morphs once a crew arrives. We’re CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning, and since 2013 we’ve documented every University Park job with a written price before work starts and a photo record of every duct run before the crew leaves. You can reach us at (806) 606-6902.
University Park presents a specific set of duct problems. Homes here are predominantly concrete-block construction from the 1960s through 1980s, many still running the original flex duct through attics that routinely hit 140-150°F in summer. Add Miami-Dade’s six-month dew point above 70°F, and you get a mold-loading combination that standard cleanings often fail to fix. We come prepared for that.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Is University Park’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Since 2013, CleanRun has served 52,000+ homes, and University Park represents an outsized share of our most technically demanding work. The housing stock here is older, predominantly rental-adjacent to FIU, and rarely maintained on schedule. That means our technicians know what they’ll find before the camera goes in: collapsed flex runs, disconnected supply branches, return grilles packed with years of tenant-era debris.
Every University Park job is quoted with a written price before any panel comes off. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s not a marketing promise; it’s how our work orders are structured. The crew is background-checked and uniformed, operating under the H.A.V.E.N. Standard, and led by Tomas Reyes. We publish our license number on the page, not buried in a footer.
We also answer the phone with a live person, not a menu tree. When a University Park homeowner calls at 3 p.m. with a blower that’s been running constantly and a musty smell at the registers, the person answering can schedule the crew and explain exactly what to expect before we arrive.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in University Park
Our full Air Duct Cleaning team handles every part of the system. In University Park, three sub-services matter more than elsewhere: supply duct cleaning, return duct cleaning, and video inspection. Here’s what each involves.
Residential Duct Cleaning
A full residential cleaning in University Park means negative-pressure extraction across every supply and return run, with HEPA filtration on the outlet. The older CBS homes near Southwest 112th Avenue and Coral Way often need grille removal and manual clearing before the vacuum can even establish negative pressure. We include that labor in the written quote, not as an add-on discovered mid-job.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
University Park’s commercial inventory includes small professional offices and a few multi-unit rental properties serving the FIU population. These systems tend to run longer hours than residential units, and the return-air plenums often show significant debris loading. We schedule commercial work around tenant activity, using the same written-price model and photo documentation we provide on every residential job. Equipment includes Abatement Technologies and Rotobrush units sized appropriately for larger duct networks.
Supply Duct Cleaning
In University Park’s original flex duct systems, the supply side is where we find the most physical damage. Flex duct from the 1960s-1980s sags, develops pinhole leaks, and in some attics collapses entirely under the heat load. We routinely find supply registers delivering zero airflow because the duct run has detached from the boot in the attic. Cleaning alone won’t fix that. We document it on camera, show you the photo, and quote the repair as a separate line item if you want it done.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return runs in University Park are a different problem: they’re packed. Tenant turnover near FIU means return grilles often haven’t been removed in decades. We find compacted mats of pet hair, old takeout menus, and party flyers pressed against the back of the grille. Until that’s pulled and cleared, the system can’t move enough air to make any real difference. We clean the return plenum, the return branches, and the filter housing as part of the job, and the before-and-after photos show exactly what was in there.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in University Park
We work on systems built around every major duct configuration found in University Park homes, and our equipment roster includes Guardsman and Nikro units alongside Rotobrush. That’s not decorative branding; it means we arrive with the extraction capacity to pull compacted debris from deep inside long duct runs, and the filtration to keep it out of the living space during the job. We keep common replacement parts for older flex systems on the trucks, which means disconnected or crushed runs can often be reconnected the same day.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in University Park Homes
University Park’s housing stock produces failures we see over and over. Here are the four most frequent ones:
- Collapsed flex duct in hot attics. Original flex runs from the 1960s-1980s sag and pinch under their own weight in 140-150°F attics. The result is a supply register that reads normal at the air handler but delivers no air to the room. Cleaning won’t restore airflow; the run has to be replaced or re-supported.
- Packed return-air grilles in rental properties. Landlord-owned homes near FIU often have return grilles that haven’t been pulled in decades. Tenant-era debris forms a mat that starves the system for air. We clear the grilles, document it, and then clean the return branches behind them.
- Disconnected supply branches. The thermal cycling in western Miami-Dade attics works connections loose over time. A supply run that separates from the boot pulls 140-degree attic air directly into the system. We find at least one disconnected run on a significant percentage of University Park cleanings.
- Mold colonization in fiberglass-lined ducts. Six-plus months of dew point above 70°F means condensation sits on duct surfaces. Once fiberglass lining gets damp, biological growth takes hold quickly. Cleaning removes it; follow-up sealing and moisture management keeps it from returning within weeks.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in University Park, FL
A whole-home air duct cleaning in University Park for a typical three-bedroom CBS house runs $425-$680. Larger homes with multiple air handlers or very long runs fall in the $650-$780 range. If the job requires collapsed flex replacement, plan for an additional $18-$34 per linear foot of new flex duct, installed. Video inspection is included with every full cleaning at no extra charge, and the written quote you receive before work begins is the price you pay when the job is done.
Several factors move the number: number of supply and return runs, accessibility of the attic, presence of multiple air handlers, and the condition of the existing ductwork. We don’t charge per vent. We don’t run a low teaser price that doubles once we’re on site. One flat price per system, written down before anything starts. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it applies on every University Park job.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in University Park
Most homes in the FIU-adjacent rental corridors of University Park need sealing and repair work in addition to cleaning because the original flex duct has physically failed. A basic cleaning removes debris from intact ducts. It does not re-attach a supply branch that has separated from its boot, nor does it replace flex that has collapsed in the attic. If your system has never been cleaned and shows signs of deferred maintenance, expect the camera inspection to reveal repairs beyond debris removal.
Look at your supply registers. If some rooms get strong airflow while others get almost none, you likely have a collapsed or disconnected run. Listen in the attic for a hissing sound near duct connections; that’s conditioned air escaping. Also check the return grille: if it’s coated in a thick layer of dust and hair that doesn’t come off with a vacuum, the restriction is deeper. We can do a standalone video inspection before any cleaning is scheduled, so you know exactly what you’re dealing with first.
Yes, almost always. Tenant turnover means filters get changed inconsistently, returns never get pulled, and problems get reported late or not at all. In University Park rental stock near the FIU campus, we find return grilles packed with multiple generations of tenant debris that owner-occupied homes simply don’t accumulate. The ductwork itself is usually original to the build, has never been professionally cleaned, and shows every year of it. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule a video inspection if you want to see what’s actually in the system before making a decision.
We work through the existing register openings and plenum accesses. In a CBS home, that means no cutting into concrete block and no disturbing the structure. We remove each register and grille, run negative-pressure extraction through the full supply and return network, and photograph every run before and after. If a flex run is collapsed or disconnected in the attic, we’ll show you the camera footage and quote the repair separately. The cleaning itself never requires new openings in the home.
It can reduce the moisture the system traps and recirculates, but it won’t change the outdoor dew point. In University Park, where dew points over 70°F persist for months, condensation forms on any cool duct surface. If your ducts are lined with damp fiberglass, biological growth follows. A proper cleaning removes the growth and the debris, and the sealing work we recommend afterward keeps humid attic air from being drawn into the system through leaks. The result is a drier, more efficient system inside your home. To see what’s actually in your ducts, call (806) 606-6902 and ask for the camera inspection.
If your University Park home is still running original 1960s-1980s flex duct, the most useful thing you can do before spending money on any cleaning is to see what’s actually in there. Call CleanRun at (806) 606-6902. We’ll do a free video inspection, show you the footage, and write a price for exactly what needs to happen. No pressure, no per-vent games, and no number that changes when the truck shows up.
