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 Fountainebleau, FL
Dryer vent cleaning in Fountainebleau means working inside concrete-block apartment buildings and condos built between the 1960s and 1980s, where original flex duct runs to exterior walls often span 20 to 40 feet with multiple elbows. That length, combined with South Florida’s year-round humidity, produces lint blockages that shorter residential vents in newer construction rarely see. We inspect and clean those runs with camera documentation before and after, and you can reach us at (806) 606-6902 to schedule a written-price visit.
Why Fountainebleau Homes Are Different
Fountainebleau sits in the dense western expansion of Miami-Dade, where mid-century CBS construction dominates. These concrete block structures hold moisture differently than wood-frame homes. Original fiberglass-lined flex ductwork in many of these buildings has never been replaced. After 50-plus years of air conditioning cycling against 70 to 80 percent indoor relative humidity, that insulation degrades, sheds fibers into the airstream, and provides a surface for mold colonization.
The local climate makes things worse. AC systems in Fountainebleau run 10 to 12 months annually, and when they cycle off, humidity inside duct cavities climbs fast. Many of these older multi-family buildings also have minimal attic ventilation, which traps moisture inside the duct cavities long after the compressor stops. The result is that a duct cleaning visit in Fountainebleau is rarely just about dust. It is about what has been growing inside the runs, and what has already broken loose into the breathing air.
Our Main Fountainebleau Services
Homeowners in Fountainebleau call us most often for two things: full air duct cleaning that removes 50 years of accumulated debris from original flex runs, and HVAC cleaning that restores airflow to coils and blowers coated in subtropical grime. Both jobs start with a written price and finish with a documented photo record.
Air Duct Cleaning in Fountainebleau
The typical Fountainebleau unit has flex ductwork that predates current insulation standards. We run negative-pressure extraction through every accessible run, remove debris at the plenum and registers, and photograph the interior of each duct before and after. Homeowners receive those images as part of the standard job record. Read more about Air Duct Cleaning in Fountainebleau for full job details and local pricing.
HVAC Cleaning in Fountainebleau
AC systems in this neighborhood pull humid return air across evaporator coils for most of the year. That leaves coils, blower wheels, and condensate pans coated with a biofilm that reduces airflow and feeds musty odors. We clean the full air handler cabinet, coil, blower assembly, and drain pan, then document the results. See HVAC Cleaning in Fountainebleau for the complete scope and what to expect on the job day.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Fountainebleau
Dryer vent cleaning in Fountainebleau deals with a specific problem: long flex runs snaking through concrete-block walls and above drop-tile ceilings in apartment buildings built during the 1960s and 1970s. Those original runs were never designed for the lint volume modern dryers produce, and the humid air pulled through them from outside turns lint into a dense, stubborn mat. The failure mode we see most often in this neighborhood is a vent that still moves some air, so the dryer seems fine, but the exhaust temperature climbs because the blockage is far enough from the lint screen to go unnoticed. That is exactly the condition that leads to dryer fires. We clean the entire run and hand you before-and-after photos of what was removed. Learn more about the full scope on our Dryer Vent Cleaning page.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take two or more cycles to dry, the dryer exterior feels hotter than usual mid-cycle, or you notice a musty smell in the laundry area even when the machine is off.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
A camera inspection of a dryer vent in Fountainebleau typically runs $95 to $160, depending on run length and access.
How we do it
We run a camera from the dryer connection through the vent to the exterior termination, recording the full interior and measuring blockage before you decide on any cleaning work.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
The exterior vent flap barely opens during the dry cycle, or you see lint accumulating around the vent cover outside the building.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
Full lint removal for an average Fountainebleau apartment vent runs $80 to $150, with longer commercial-style runs priced by footage.
How we do it
We use a powered rotary brush matched to the vent diameter, followed by HEPA-filtered negative air extraction to capture lint without blowing it back into the unit.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The existing vent run exceeds 35 feet, has more than three elbows, or sections are sagging and collecting lint in low spots.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
Rerouting a dryer vent in Fountainebleau typically costs $180 to $350, depending on wall material and access through concrete block.
How we do it
We map the shortest code-compliant path to the exterior, core through concrete block where needed, seal every joint with foil tape, and secure the run to prevent sagging.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You hear scratching or chirping at the vent termination, or you have found nesting material around the exterior vent flap.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
Bird guard installation on a dryer vent in Fountainebleau runs $70 to $130, including the vent cap and secure mounting hardware.
How we do it
We remove any nesting material, clean the final section of the run, and install a stainless steel guard that allows airflow while blocking birds and rodents.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Fountainebleau
| Item | Typical range in Fountainebleau |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection with camera | $95 - $160 |
| Standard lint removal | $80 - $150 |
| Rerouting or bird guard installation | $70 - $350 |
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in Fountainebleau?
Every 12 months for most single-unit dryers, and every 6 to 9 months in older Fountainebleau buildings with long original flex runs. Humidity compacts lint faster than in drier climates, so the blockage risk climbs quicker. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an inspection and get a written price.
Is a clogged dryer vent really a fire risk in Fountainebleau?
Yes. Lint is combustible, and long runs in older concrete-block buildings allow it to accumulate deep inside the vent where the dryer’s thermal sensors never see it. Cleaning is cheap insurance and we document every run with photos before and after. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Fountainebleau
Duct repair and sealing in Fountainebleau means finding cracked, collapsed, or disconnected sections of original flex ductwork that has been hidden above drop-tile ceilings for half a century. We routinely discover runs that separated at the joint years ago, quietly sending conditioned air into ceiling cavities while pulling humid, moldy air back into the living space. Sealing those leaks improves both indoor air quality and system efficiency immediately. The full scope of this work, including detailed job descriptions, lives on our Duct Repair & Sealing page.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
One room is always warmer than the rest, there is visible dust blowing from registers, or you hear a whistling sound coming from above a drop-tile ceiling.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
Repairing a section of damaged flex duct in Fountainebleau typically runs $60 to $120 per section, depending on run length and accessibility.
How we do it
We locate the failed section with a camera, remove it, install a correctly sized replacement, and seal both joints with mastic and foil tape before testing airflow.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Your electric bill has climbed without a change in usage, rooms at the end of long runs get little airflow, or you smell attic air when the system kicks on.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
Whole-system duct sealing in Fountainebleau is priced per linear foot at $3 to $6, with a written total before any work begins.
How we do it
We access every accessible duct run, seal all joints and connections with fiber-reinforced mastic, and run a pressure test to confirm leakage reduction.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Condensation forms on the outside of duct surfaces, or conditioned air feels warm by the time it reaches the farthest register.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
Insulating accessible duct runs in Fountainebleau runs $10 to $25 per linear foot, depending on the insulation type and space constraints.
How we do it
We wrap exposed metal or degraded flex runs with closed-cell insulation rated for the Miami-Dade climate, sealing the seams to prevent moisture intrusion.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Fountainebleau
| Item | Typical range in Fountainebleau |
|---|---|
| Flex duct section repair | $60 - $120 per section |
| Duct sealing per linear foot | $3 - $6 |
| Duct insulation per linear foot | $10 - $25 |
Can hidden duct leaks actually affect my Fountainebleau utility bill?
Yes. Disconnected flex sections above drop-tile ceilings dump conditioned air into cavity spaces nobody sees. Sealing and reconnecting those runs restores airflow and prevents your system from cooling the building structure instead of your unit. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written inspection price.
How do I know my duct repair was actually done right?
CleanRun documents every repair with before-and-after photos included in your job record. You see the damaged section as we found it and the sealed replacement once the work is complete. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule a camera inspection.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Fountainebleau
Air quality and sanitizing in Fountainebleau is not a perfume treatment. In buildings where original fiberglass-lined flex ducts have spent decades cycling 80 percent humidity, you are dealing with actual biological growth on interior surfaces. Mold colonies, bacteria from condensate pans, and degraded insulation fibers all move through the same airstream you breathe. Our work removes the growth at the source and documents the result. Read the full scope on our Air Quality & Sanitizing page.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
A persistent musty odor worsens when the AC runs, or you see dark staining around registers or on the inside of accessible duct surfaces.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
Mold treatment for a standard Fountainebleau duct system runs $300 to $600, depending on the affected area and number of runs involved.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to interior duct surfaces after debris removal, using an airless fogging method that reaches the full run length, then verify coverage by camera.
Bacteria Sanitizing
Signs you need it
Household members experience unexplained allergy symptoms indoors, or the air handler smells sour immediately after the system cycles on.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
Full-system bacteria sanitizing in Fountainebleau typically costs $250 to $500, including the evaporator coil and drain pan treatment.
How we do it
We clean the coil and drain pan first, then apply a sanitizer rated for HVAC surfaces throughout the air handler and accessible duct network.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
Odors persist after cleaning and do not trace to obvious sources like trash or pets, or the smell returns immediately after the AC starts.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
Duct odor removal in Fountainebleau runs $200 to $450, with the price depending on whether the source is biological, chemical, or smoke-related.
How we do it
We identify the source by camera inspection, remove the contributing material, then neutralize remaining odor at the duct surfaces rather than masking it.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Mold returns quickly after cleaning, or you want continuous suppression of biological growth on the coil in Fountainebleau’s constant humidity.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
UV light installation in Fountainebleau typically runs $450 to $900, including the lamp, mounting, and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp on the air handler so it illuminates the evaporator coil and drain pan, wired to run whenever the system operates.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Fountainebleau
| Item | Typical range in Fountainebleau |
|---|---|
| Duct mold treatment | $300 - $600 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $250 - $500 |
| UV light installation | $450 - $900 |
Is the mold in my Fountainebleau ducts actually dangerous?
In many older Fountainebleau buildings, yes. Persistent mold inside duct interiors releases spores into living spaces every time the AC runs. Documented removal and sanitizing is the only way to stop that exposure. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
How do I know sanitizing worked and did not just add chemicals to my air?
CleanRun photographs the duct interior after application and includes that record in your job file. You see the treated surfaces and the coverage achieved, not a marketing claim. Call (806) 606-6902 to schedule an assessment.
