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 Alpharetta
Air duct cleaning in Alpharetta typically runs $450-$850 for a full residential system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single day. CleanRun crews serve Alpharetta from our Atlanta dispatch office, carrying Rotobrush and Nikro negative-pressure extraction equipment sized for the large multi-zone homes that define this market. If your home was built during Alpharetta’s 1990s-2000s growth wave, you’re likely running original flex-duct systems now hitting their 20-30-year mark, and the debris buildup we find in those attic runs is usually worse than homeowners expect. Call (678) 679-7540 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Alpharetta Is Alpharetta’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve served Alpharetta since our founding in 2013, and the majority of our calls here come from the GA-400 corridor subdivisions built during the city’s rapid expansion. Windward, Country Club of the South, and similar communities account for a concentration of 3,000-5,000 square foot homes with two or three original HVAC zones that no neighboring city matches in density.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team arrives with documented credentials. Haven Standard Clause 3, Verified Crews, means every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. License numbers are published on every proposal, not buried in a footer.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Alpharetta job in writing. If the work is not right, we make it right. This is a written guarantee, not a policy subject to manager approval.
Our photo record practice means you see inside every duct run before and after. In Alpharetta’s older subdivisions, these images often reveal the first evidence of duct board plenum degradation that homeowners had no other way to detect.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Alpharetta
Residential Duct Cleaning
Alpharetta’s single-family homes, particularly the large two-story builds off Windward Parkway and along Kimball Bridge Road, present a specific challenge: multiple flex-duct systems routed through hot attics, each accumulating two decades or more of pollen, skin cells, and construction debris. Our residential service covers every duct run, register, and return grille with agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction. We photograph the interior of each run before and after, and the photo record is delivered as a standard job document.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
The mixed-use development near Avalon and the office parks along North Point Parkway require commercial-grade protocols. Shared HVAC trunk systems in these buildings move air through larger sheet-metal ducts with different access requirements than residential flex line. We use Abatement Technologies portable HEPA equipment sized for commercial static pressure, and every job includes a written scope and photo documentation.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Alpharetta’s 1990s-2000s homes, these runs often originate from duct board plenums in the attic that have begun shedding fiberglass liner inward. We clean each supply run with rotating brush agitation under negative pressure, then inspect the plenum with a borescope. If the liner is compromised, we document it and seal with mastic and mesh before reconnecting.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the HVAC unit, and in Alpharetta they work overtime. North Fulton’s dense tree canopy contributes some of the highest pollen counts in the Southeast, and that load enters through return grilles, accumulating on the duct walls. Our return cleaning removes this buildup, improving airflow volume and reducing the particulate load on your filter.
Full System Cleaning
For Alpharetta homes with multiple zones, we recommend cleaning the complete system: supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, and the air handler cabinet. This is particularly important in Windward and similar subdivisions where two or three original systems are aging simultaneously. A partial clean leaves debris in connected components that will redistribute.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection service uses borescope cameras to document the interior condition of ducts that homeowners cannot see. In Alpharetta’s older homes, this is often how we first identify duct board plenum degradation, disconnected flex joints, or crushed sections in attic runs. The video is recorded and included in the job documentation.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Alpharetta
CleanRun technicians carry professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Aprilaire, brands that publish specifications customers can verify independently. Our Nikro negative-pressure extractors and Honeywell media filters are matched to Alpharetta’s specific conditions: high pollen loads, extended cooling seasons, and the fine particulate generated by degrading flex-duct liner. We do not use shop-vac equipment or unverified attachments. Every tool on the truck is trade-recognized and maintained to manufacturer specification.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Alpharetta Homes
- Duct board plenum shedding. The original plenums in 1990s Alpharetta subdivisions were built with fiberglass-lined duct board that degrades after 20-30 years of Georgia humidity cycling. We regularly find liner fragments coating supply ducts in Windward and Country Club of the South homes, sending particulates straight into conditioned air.
- Disconnected and crushed flex runs. Flex duct routed through hot, unconditioned Alpharetta attics develops separated joints and compression damage after decades of thermal expansion, pest activity, and maintenance traffic. Upstairs rooms starve for airflow while the HVAC unit works harder.
- Original flex duct outlasting its design life. The flex line in these large multi-zone homes deteriorates faster than the mechanical equipment it serves. A system that still cools can still be distributing liner particulate, attic insulation fibers, and accumulated pollen through every register.
- Pollen and microbial loading from extended cooling seasons. Alpharetta systems run hard from April through October with rare downtime. Combined with North Fulton’s heavy spring pollen and high summer humidity, this creates conditions for significant allergen accumulation and microbial growth inside ductwork.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta, GA
A typical full residential system cleaning in Alpharetta runs $450-$850 for a single-zone home, $750-$1,400 for two-zone systems, and $1,100-$1,800 for three-zone properties common in Windward and similar subdivisions. Commercial duct cleaning at Alpharetta office parks or multi-use buildings is scoped individually based on trunk dimensions and access.
What moves the price: the number of duct runs, accessibility of attic plenums, whether video inspection reveals damage requiring sealing or repair, and the presence of multiple HVAC zones. We do not price per vent. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a single written price for the complete system, agreed before any panel comes off.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
Start with a video inspection. We borescope the plenum and first few feet of each duct run to check for fiberglass liner degradation, disconnected joints, or crushed sections. If the flex is intact but dirty, source removal cleaning under negative pressure restores it. If the liner is shedding or the duct is physically damaged, we document it and quote sealing or replacement separately. Call (678) 679-7540 to schedule the inspection; estimates are free.
The filter only catches what reaches it. In Alpharetta’s two-story subdivision homes, musty upstairs air usually points to microbial growth or liner degradation in attic-mounted supply ducts, or a compromised duct board plenum introducing attic air and humidity into the stream. We find this regularly in 1990s-2000s builds where original materials have exceeded their design life. A camera inspection identifies the source, and cleaning with sealing resolves it if the duct is structurally sound.
The plenum is the large distribution box in your attic where the HVAC unit connects to the individual duct runs. In Alpharetta’s 1990s-2000s homes, these were typically built from fiberglass-lined duct board, a material that degrades after 20-30 years of humidity cycling. When the liner sheds, it sends particulates into every connected supply duct. This is a failure mode specific to this housing vintage and Georgia’s climate, and it is nearly invisible without a borescope inspection.
Not necessarily, though we recommend it. If the systems share construction vintage and attic environment, they are likely in similar condition. Cleaning one while leaving debris in connected zones risks redistribution. For Windward and similar large homes, we quote each zone separately so you can phase the work, but the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies fully only to the scope we complete.
Alpharetta sits in one of the highest pollen-count corridors in the Southeast, with dense North Fulton tree canopy contributing heavy pine and oak loads each spring. Return ducts pull this particulate indoors, where it adheres to duct walls and bypasses standard filters. Combined with humidity from April through October, this creates a buildup cycle that cooler, drier climates do not replicate. Regular cleaning removes accumulated pollen, and upgrading to Aprilaire media filtration reduces future loading.
The CleanRun Difference in Alpharetta
We were called to a two-story home off Windward Parkway where the homeowner complained of dust settling on furniture within a day of cleaning and a musty smell from the upstairs vents. During our camera inspection of the supply and return ducts, we found the original duct board plenum in the attic had begun shedding its fiberglass liner inward, sending particulates straight into the conditioned air. We performed source removal with agitation tools under negative pressure, sealed the compromised plenum with mastic and mesh, and the downstream dust complaint stopped within the week.
This is the work we do in Alpharetta. Not vacuum noise and a receipt, but documented source removal with a written price agreed beforehand and a photo record delivered afterward. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means the work is accountable long after the truck leaves.
Call (678) 679-7540 for a written estimate. All calls are answered by a live person, and every proposal includes the full scope, the equipment to be used, and the documentation you will receive.
