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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody, GA
Dryer vent cleaning in Dunwoody is a job that arrives ahead of schedule, because the same 40-year-old duct board that lines the supply side of these homes also clogs the exhaust side. The dense oak and pine canopy that gives Dunwoody Club Forest and Vanderlyn their names drops enough pollen and leaf litter to load a dryer vent in a single spring. A hot, humid summer then bakes that lint into a hard, dense layer that restricts airflow and pushes a dryer into longer and longer cycles. We’ve pulled compacted lint plugs from Dunwoody vents that had to be chiseled out in sections. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Dunwoody Homes Are Different
Dunwoody’s housing stock is a product of one specific decade, and it changes how we clean. The surge of construction between 1975 and 1995, driven by the Perimeter Center office corridor along Ashford Dunwoody Road and Peachtree Dunwoody Road, filled the city with ranches, split-levels, and two-story colonials built at a time when fiberglass duct board was the standard for trunk lines. That material, now 40 to 50 years old in many homes, has a facing that delaminates and a porous surface that traps Atlanta’s heavy spring pollen more readily than sheet metal. The tree canopy is another factor: Dunwoody has one of the thickest canopies of any Atlanta suburb, which keeps ground-level humidity high around foundations and returns, and feeds a constant stream of organic debris into return-air intakes. A cleaning call in Dunwoody almost always includes a camera inspection that reveals conditions a homeowner could not see from the register.
Our Main Dunwoody Services
These are the two services Dunwoody homeowners call about most, and each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody
Full system cleaning for the original fiberglass duct board and early flex runs that define so much of Dunwoody’s housing. We photograph every run before and after, because in homes where the liner has begun to shed, the difference should be documented. The written price covers the full system, not a teaser per-vent rate. See Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody for the complete breakdown.
HVAC Cleaning in Dunwoody
Blower wheel, evaporator coil, plenum, and return-air drop cleaning for the systems attached to those aging duct runs. Dunwoody humidity means coils here grow biological film faster than in drier Atlanta suburbs, and a dirty blower wheel can cut airflow even after the ducts are cleaned.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Dunwoody
Dryer vent cleaning in Dunwoody is a scheduled job with a written price, delivered under Haven Standard Clause 1: no per-vent pricing, no upsell on arrival, and a photo record of the vent interior before and after. In this city’s 1970s and 1980s housing stock, original dryer vents were often run as long, uninsulated flex ducts with multiple elbows, routed through walls and over bathrooms before reaching the exterior. Add the canopy humidity and the pollen load, and you have vents that accumulate a hard, sticky lint matrix far faster than the 12-month guideline most national guides assume. Our crews regularly find Dunwoody vents with 50 to 70 percent internal obstruction at a first visit. See our full Dryer Vent Cleaning service page for the national scope, and keep reading below for what changes in Dunwoody.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
A dryer that now takes two full cycles to dry one load, or a laundry room that stays warm and humid an hour after the cycle ends, is almost always a vent obstruction in Dunwoody homes.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Full dryer vent cleaning in Dunwoody, including the interior run and the exterior termination, runs $125 to $250, depending on run length, number of elbows, and roof versus wall termination.
How we do it
We run a rotating brush and HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extractor through the full interior, then photograph the termination point to confirm a clear pass.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
A clump of lint, a dusting of debris, and a burning smell when the dryer runs all point to dense lint accumulation behind the appliance or at the first elbow.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Standalone lint removal, when no full vent cleaning is needed, runs $95 to $150 in Dunwoody, covering the appliance connection point and the first few feet of the run.
How we do it
We disconnect the appliance, hand-pull the compacted lint plug from the transition duct and first elbow, then reassemble and photograph the finished work.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
A dryer vent that exits through the roof in an older Dunwoody home, or one with more than three elbows, is a code-redesign candidate that traps moisture and lint at every turn.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Rerouting a dryer vent to a shorter, code-compliant wall or soffit exit typically runs $350 to $600 in Dunwoody, including new rigid duct and termination.
How we do it
We measure the shortest compliant path, remove the old flex, install rigid duct with mastic-sealed joints, and document the new run from both ends.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
Chirping from the vent, nest debris at the exterior hood, or a vent flap that stays propped open means birds have nested, and they’ll be back unless the opening is protected.
What it costs in Dunwoody
A bird guard with a durable metal cage and hinged flap, installed over the existing termination, runs $65 to $110 in Dunwoody.
How we do it
We remove any nesting material, sanitize the termination, and install a secure guard that keeps birds out while allowing full airflow.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Dunwoody
| Item | Typical range in Dunwoody |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent cleaning (full run) | $125 - $250 |
| Lint removal (appliance side) | $95 - $150 |
| Vent rerouting | $350 - $600 |
| Bird guard installation | $65 - $110 |
How long does dryer vent cleaning take in Dunwoody?
A standard Dunwoody vent cleaning runs 45 to 75 minutes when the run is under 15 feet with one or two elbows. A roof termination, a clogged interior run, or an appliance that needs to be pulled adds time, and we tell you that before the clock starts.
Is the price in the quote the final price?
Yes. We write the full price before any panel or hose is touched, under Haven Standard Clause 1. The only time the number changes is if you ask us to add work after the quote is written, and that gets its own written price first.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Dunwoody
Duct repair and sealing in Dunwoody is where the city’s original duct board becomes the primary variable. Homes built between 1975 and 1995 often have fiberglass trunk lines whose interior facing delaminates after decades of exposure to humid, pollen-laden air, and once that facing peels, it both leaks conditioned air and sheds fibers into the supply stream. A written price, a camera inspection, and a photograph of every repaired run are the standard on every job. See Duct Repair & Sealing for the full national scope, and here is what Dunwoody changes.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms that stay hot in summer and cold in winter, even with new registers, usually mean conditioned air is escaping through failed joints in the attic or crawlspace.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Sealing accessible duct joints and seams with mastic in a typical Dunwoody attic runs $350 to $650, depending on system size and access clearance.
How we do it
We camera-inspect the full run, locate every failed seam, clean and dry the joint, and brush-apply fiber-reinforced mastic for a permanent seal.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Crushed or torn flex runs, common in Dunwoody homes that have had attic storage or pest activity, create hot and cold spots and draw unfiltered attic air into the system.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Replacing a damaged flex duct run with a properly supported, insulated section runs $200 to $350 per run in Dunwoody.
How we do it
We remove the failed run, size the replacement correctly, and install it with sealed metal collars, following the HVAC system’s original design airflow.
Metal Duct Repair
Signs you need it
Separated, rusted, or sagging sheet-metal duct under a Dunwoody home, often seen in crawlspace systems from the 1980s, leaks huge volumes of air into an unconditioned space.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Repairing and re-supporting a damaged sheet-metal section runs $150 to $400, depending on length, diameter, and access.
How we do it
We cut out the failed section, fold and seal a new metal sleeve into place with mastic and re-secure the hangers, then photograph the finished repair.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Dunwoody
| Item | Typical range in Dunwoody |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing (mastic, accessible joints) | $350 - $650 |
| Flex duct replacement (per run) | $200 - $350 |
| Metal duct repair (per section) | $150 - $400 |
Will sealing my ducts really lower my energy bill in Dunwoody?
Yes, when the leak is real. Homes with original 1980s flex and duct board routinely lose 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air through failed joints, and sealing them moves that air back into the living space where it belongs.
Can you repair only the worst leak?
We can, yes. The camera inspection shows every leak, we write a price for the full repair scope, and then a separate price if you want us to address only the worst section first. Most Dunwoody homeowners choose the full scope once they see the photos.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Dunwoody
Air quality and sanitizing in Dunwoody has to account for two local realities: original fiberglass duct board that holds moisture and biological growth like a sponge, and a dense tree canopy that keeps ground-level humidity high enough to feed mold and bacteria inside under-insulated duct runs. The result is often a home where the HVAC system circulates a musty, slightly organic smell every time the blower kicks on. We treat the source, not the air, and we document it with before-and-after photographs. See Air Quality & Sanitizing for the full national scope, and here is what Dunwoody demands.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
A persistent musty smell that intensifies when the AC runs, or visible dark staining on registers or plenum surfaces, points to mold inside the duct system.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Full mold treatment of the duct interior, including HEPA extraction and an EPA-registered antimicrobial, runs $600 to $1,200 in Dunwoody depending on system size.
How we do it
We HEPA-vacuum all accessible interior surfaces, apply the antimicrobial to every affected area, and photograph the before and after state of each run.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Pet odor, cooking residue, or a stale smell that returns a day after airing out the house usually means the duct liner itself is holding the odor.
What it costs in Dunwoody
Odor removal using a fogged antimicrobial and duct sanitizing runs $300 to $600 in Dunwoody.
How we do it
We fog the entire duct system with an EPA-registered deodorizer and sanitizer, let it dwell, then run the fan to move the treatment through every run and plenum.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold on the evaporator coil, even after cleaning, means the coil needs ongoing treatment that only a UV-C light installed in the right position can provide.
What it costs in Dunwoody
UV-C coil treatment light installation runs $650 to $1,100 in Dunwoody, including the lamp and a dedicated circuit.
How we do it
We position the lamp to directly irradiate the evaporator coil and drain pan, wire it to a dedicated circuit, and verify output with a radiometer.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Dunwoody
| Item | Typical range in Dunwoody |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (full duct system) | $600 - $1,200 |
| Odor removal (fogging + sanitizing) | $300 - $600 |
| UV light installation (coil treatment) | $650 - $1,100 |
How do I know the mold was really killed?
You see the before and after photographs of every treated surface. We document the entire treatment with a camera, and that photo record is delivered to you as part of the standard job file under CleanRun’s standard documentation policy.
Will a UV light by itself solve my Dunwoody air quality problem?
Only if the problem is coil-surface biological growth. If the duct liner itself is contaminated or delaminating, the UV light treats only the coil, and the duct interior remains a source. A camera inspection tells us which situation you have.

What pushes a Dunwoody price toward the top of these ranges is access: a 1980s attic with low clearance, a crawlspace with rusted duct hangers, or a long roof-terminated dryer vent all add labor. What never changes is the written price. You get one number before any work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1, and that number is what you pay.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody
Most Dunwoody HOAs do not require approval for interior duct cleaning, dryer vent work, or equipment installed inside the home envelope. Exterior vent rerouting or a new wall termination may require a design review, and we can provide a written scope of work for your application.
Most appointments are scheduled within one to three business days. Emergency dryer vent situations, such as a fully blocked vent or an active bird nest, get priority scheduling when you call before noon on a weekday.
Yes. We work in Dunwoody condos and townhomes, though shared duct chases and building-adjacent vent terminations can affect the access path and therefore the written scope. The price is still written in full before any work starts.
