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 West Hollywood, CA
West Hollywood, FL homes punish ductwork. Most are 1950s-1970s concrete-block ranch houses with original flex duct or fibrous duct board running through unconditioned attics that bake above 150°F every summer, then sweat with condensation when the AC cycles on. That combination means dryer vents clog with lint faster, ducts tear and collapse sooner, and mold gets a foothold quicker than almost anywhere in the country. CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning works in West Hollywood every week, and every job ends with a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price before any work starts.
Why West Hollywood Homes Are Different
West Hollywood is an unincorporated Broward County community, which means no municipal building department enforces duct maintenance standards here. County inspection schedules apply, and most of these ranch homes have never had a professional duct cleaning since the day they were built. Attic-routed flex duct in West Hollywood suffers a specific failure cycle: thermal expansion in 150°F+ summer attics weakens the foil-backed outer jacket, and when cold air moves through, condensation forms on the inner liner. Over time, that liner sags, kinks, or collapses entirely. Technicians working these slab-on-grade homes routinely find duct runs that have partially collapsed, trapping debris and mold in a dead zone while the homeowner wonders why one bedroom never cools. Relative humidity above 75% year-round, plus a June-October rainy season that saturates ambient air, means interior duct condensation is a near-constant threat, not a seasonal one. Homes here have no basements or crawlspaces, so the entire system lives in the attic. That changes how every job is inspected, priced, and repaired.
Our Main West Hollywood Services
West Hollywood homeowners call CleanRun most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning and whole-system HVAC cleaning. Here is what each involves in this community.
Air Duct Cleaning in West Hollywood
Full duct cleaning here means pulling the registers, running a negative-pressure extraction system, and photographing every duct run from the plenum to the register before and after work. In West Hollywood we often find a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, plus mold-saturated insulation in collapsed flex sections that standard cleaning cannot fix. Air Duct Cleaning in West Hollywood covers the full process, including what the camera sees in homes of this era and what the written record includes.
HVAC Cleaning in West Hollywood
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts to the blower wheel, evaporator coil, and drain pan, where West Hollywood’s humidity keeps organic material damp and growing. We use professional-grade equipment from Abatement Technologies and rotate air-washing tools through the coil and blower assembly. HVAC Cleaning in West Hollywood explains the scope, what gets photographed, and what the price sheet includes.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in West Hollywood
Dryer vent cleaning in West Hollywood is a critical safety job, and the housing stock makes it worse than most homeowners realize. These 1950s-1970s ranch homes often have long vent runs that snake through the attic, collecting lint where the duct elbows and sags. In humid West Hollywood air, that lint absorbs moisture and clumps instead of blowing out, which raises dryer temperatures and creates the conditions for a vent fire. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, and every linear foot is photographed before and after. This is the core of our Dryer Vent Cleaning work in West Hollywood, and the photo record tells you exactly what was removed.
Dryer Vent Inspection
Signs you need it
Clothes take two cycles to dry, the dryer exterior gets hot to the touch, or you cannot remember the last time the vent was inspected.
What it costs in West Hollywood
A vent inspection in West Hollywood typically runs $80-$150, and is waived when you proceed with cleaning on the same visit.
How we do it
We run a camera from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, measuring total run length and photographing restrictions or damage, then hand you a written scope with still images.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
The exterior vent flap barely opens on a dry cycle, or you see lint accumulating around the dryer base and inside the lint trap housing.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Whole-run vent cleaning in West Hollywood ranges $130-$220 depending on run length and access.
How we do it
We run a rotary brush and HEPA-filtered vacuum through the full duct run from the dryer to the exterior cap, photographing the before and after condition at both ends.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
Lint clumps are visible at the exterior termination, or the dryer shuts off mid-cycle with a blocked-vent error.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Standalone lint removal in West Hollywood costs $100-$180, depending on how compacted the blockage is.
How we do it
We extract the compacted lint mass with rotating agitation tools, then run the camera again to confirm the full diameter is clear.
Vent Rerouting
Signs you need it
The existing vent path exceeds 35 feet, turns more than twice, or the current termination points into a soffit or attic space rather than outdoors.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Vent rerouting in West Hollywood runs $200-$450 depending on new route length and roof or wall penetration work.
How we do it
We plan the shortest legal route to an exterior termination, install rigid metal duct, and photograph the new run plus the abandoned old path.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or scratching in the wall near the dryer vent, or the exterior cap has lost its flap.
What it costs in West Hollywood
A bird guard and new exterior cap install in West Hollywood runs $75-$150 including materials.
How we do it
We remove the old termination, install a screened guard that prevents nesting and lint clogging, and photograph the finished cap from inside and outside.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in West Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in West Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Dryer vent inspection | $80-$150 |
| Whole-run vent cleaning | $130-$220 |
| Vent rerouting | $200-$450 |
How often should dryer vents be cleaned in West Hollywood?
Annual cleaning is the minimum here. West Hollywood’s humidity causes lint to clump and stick inside the vent run, so a yearly cleaning prevents the slow build-up that leads to dryer overheating. Homes with long attic runs or larger households should schedule every six months.
Will a clogged dryer vent raise my electric bill?
Yes. When the vent restricts airflow, the dryer runs longer to dry the same load. In West Hollywood, where dryers already work against humid ambient air, a partial lint blockage adds real run time and cost to every cycle. Call (806) 606-6902 for a free estimate.
Duct Repair & Sealing in West Hollywood
Duct repair in West Hollywood is usually about attic damage that has gone unseen for years. The foil-backed flex duct in these 1950s-1970s ranch homes degrades from repeated thermal expansion, then tears or kinks when condensation weakens the liner, and every leak sends conditioned air into a 150°F attic instead of the bedroom at the end of the run. Sealing and repairing that ductwork is the single highest-return efficiency fix available to most homeowners in this community. Our Duct Repair & Sealing work here always starts with a camera pass to find every tear, kink, and disconnected joint before any work is priced.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms at the end of the run never reach the thermostat set point, or your energy bill has risen without a change in usage.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Duct sealing in West Hollywood ranges $350-$900 depending on total accessible duct length and the number of joints and leaks found.
How we do it
We apply mastic sealant or aluminum tape to every accessible joint, boot, and connection seam, then run a pressure test to confirm the leak rate dropped.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You find a soft spot or visible tear in the attic flex duct, or one room blows weak air while the adjacent room blows strong.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Flex duct repair in West Hollywood runs $150-$600 per damaged section depending on length, diameter, and attic access.
How we do it
We cut out the damaged section, install new R-6 or better flex duct to match the existing diameter, and photograph the replaced run from both ends.
Metal Duct Repair
Signs you need it
You see rust, separated seams, or a sagging section in exposed metal trunk line, or hear rattling and popping when the blower starts.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Metal duct repair in West Hollywood generally runs $200-$700 per section, including sheet metal fabrication and fasteners.
How we do it
We cut and fit new galvanized sections, secure them with drive cleats and strap hangers, and seal every seam before photographing the finished trunk line.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
You see exposed or peeling duct wrap in the attic, or condensation drips from the duct exterior during cooling season.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Duct insulation in West Hollywood ranges $200-$700 for typical attic-section re-insulation, larger full-system work starting near $1,200.
How we do it
We wrap the duct in R-8 insulation, tape and seal every seam, and photograph the final wrap at representative points along the run.
Mastic Sealant
Signs you need it
You see gaps or cracks at duct joints and boots, or feel a warm draft in the attic near those connection points.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Mastic sealant application in West Hollywood runs $250-$700 depending on the number of joints and linear feet sealed.
How we do it
We brush mastic over every accessible joint, boot collar, and plenum seam, then photograph the applied sealant and note the product name on the written record.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in West Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in West Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing | $350-$900 |
| Flex duct repair | $150-$600 per section |
| Duct insulation | $200-$700 |
Are torn ducts the reason one bedroom won’t cool in West Hollywood?
Usually, yes. In slab-on-grade West Hollywood ranch homes, a torn or kinked attic flex duct is the most common reason one room stays warm while the rest of the house cools. We find this on the majority of repair calls in this community.
Does sealing ducts actually reduce energy cost?
Yes, measurably. Leaky ductwork in West Hollywood sends conditioned air into an attic that is 150°F or hotter in summer, so the AC works harder to maintain temperature. Sealed ducts deliver the air where it was meant to go. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in West Hollywood
Air quality in West Hollywood is a humidity problem first and a filter problem second. When attic ducts sweat and interior liner surfaces stay damp, microbial growth takes hold, and the air coming out of the registers carries the musty signature of that growth. Older ranch homes here often have no fresh-air intake, so whatever grows inside the ducts recirculates through the living space every time the blower runs. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing work in West Hollywood treats the surface, not the symptom, and we document what was found and what was applied.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
You smell a persistent musty odor when the AC kicks on, or the camera shows visible microbial growth on the duct liner.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Mold treatment in West Hollywood runs $400-$1,200 depending on affected area and access to the contaminated surfaces.
How we do it
We apply a professional-grade antimicrobial to the affected surfaces, allow the required dwell time, and photograph the treated areas before and after.
Bacteria Sanitizing
Signs you need it
Family members experience more respiratory irritation at home than away, or the duct interiors show organic residue that tests positive for bacterial growth.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Whole-system bacteria sanitizing in West Hollywood typically runs $300-$800, sized to the home’s duct length and blower system.
How we do it
We fog the duct system and coil with a registered sanitizing agent after mechanical cleaning, and document the product name and application time on the written record.
Odor Removal
Signs you need it
A stale or sour smell comes from the registers, or the house smells like the previous occupant’s cooking or pets months after they moved out.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Odor removal in West Hollywood runs $250-$600, and works best when paired with a full duct cleaning.
How we do it
We run an activated charcoal or photocatalytic oxidation process through the duct system, then photograph the finished runs and note the method used.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
The evaporator coil shows visible organic growth or you want to prevent mold from returning in West Hollywood’s constant humidity.
What it costs in West Hollywood
UV light installation in West Hollywood ranges $500-$1,200 per unit, positioned at the coil or return plenum.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp at the coil or plenum, wire it to the blower circuit, and photograph the installed unit and mounting bracket.
Air Purifier Install
Signs you need it
Household members have allergies or respiratory conditions, or you want active filtration beyond a standard media filter.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Whole-house air purifier installation in West Hollywood runs $600-$1,500 including the unit and integration into the existing system.
How we do it
We install the purifier at the return or supply plenum, wire it to run with the blower, and photograph the completed installation and model number.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in West Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in West Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $400-$1,200 |
| Bacteria sanitizing | $300-$800 |
| UV light installation | $500-$1,200 per unit |
Does West Hollywood humidity mean mold will come back after treatment?
Not if the source of moisture is addressed. In West Hollywood, mold inside ducts is usually fed by condensation from duct leaks, poor insulation, or water pooling in the drain pan. We identify and repair the moisture source before treating, so the growth does not return.
Will a UV light actually kill mold in my ducts?
A properly positioned UV lamp at the coil or plenum suppresses surface microbial growth on the surfaces it illuminates. It does not dry out standing water or fix a leaking duct. The right fix is to remove the moisture first, then apply sanitizing or UV if conditions warrant. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written price.
