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.

Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Alpharetta Is Marietta’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Marietta since we opened in 2013, and the documented photo records from our jobs here tell a consistent story: homes built during Cobb County’s 1975-1995 build-out carry duct systems that need more than surface-level attention. Our Air Duct Cleaning crews have photographed the inside of over 52,000 homes, and the Marietta jobs stand out for the volume of degraded flex duct and compacted debris we find.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Every job starts with a written price and ends with a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered as part of the standard job record.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Marietta
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Marietta homes we enter were built with flexible fiberglass duct systems that have spent three to five decades in unconditioned attics. The heat degrades the inner liner. The duct sags at low points. Debris collects where you can’t see it from the register. Our residential service uses agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction - suction applied at the source, not just a brush at the vent - to remove what’s actually inside the runs. We photograph every section before and after.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Marietta’s commercial buildings along Roswell Road and near the Square present different challenges: larger plenum spaces, rooftop units with longer horizontal runs, and occupancy schedules that limit available windows. We work with property managers to scope the job, deliver a written price, and complete the work with full photo documentation for maintenance records.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Marietta’s older homes, we frequently find supply runs partially blocked by collapsed flex duct or by insulation fibers that have separated from the duct wall and migrated into the airstream. We clean the full length of each supply run and note any structural damage in the written scope.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in Marietta they work harder than almost anywhere else in the country. The Atlanta metro records tree pollen levels above 10,000 particles per cubic meter during peak season, and Cobb County’s dense oak and pine canopy makes this worse locally. That biological particulate loads up return grilles and accumulates in the return plenum. Our return duct service includes source removal back to the air handler, not just wiping the visible grille.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Marietta addresses supply runs, return runs, the plenum, and the air handler cabinet. Given the age of most local duct systems, this is often the appropriate scope. The written price covers the complete system - no per-vent add-ons, no mid-job upsells.
Video Inspection
We run a camera through the ductwork before quoting any sealing or repair work. In Marietta’s 1980s-era housing stock, the video frequently reveals crushed runs, disconnected joints, or inner-liner collapse that isn’t visible from the register. You see what we see. The footage becomes part of the job record.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Marietta Homes
- Collapsed flex duct at low points. Original 1975-1995 flex duct in 130-140°F Marietta attics sags over decades, creating debris traps that register-level cleaning never reaches. The camera shows it. The photo record proves it.
- Mold in the insulation wrap. Six-plus months of continuous cooling cycles create condensation at duct joints. Warm attic air meets conditioned air, moisture forms, and mold colonizes the fiberglass insulation. Then the blower cycles it through the living space.
- Compacted return-air grilles. Thirty years of Georgia red-clay dust and degraded fiberglass fibers pack against hallway ceiling grilles. Surface wiping doesn’t remove the source. We clean back to the air handler.
- Disconnected or partially separated runs. Heat-cycled duct tape fails. Zip ties degrade. A run that looked intact from the register may be pulling attic air through a gap the homeowner never knew existed.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta, GA
A typical residential full system cleaning in Marietta runs $380-$720. Return-only or supply-only service falls in the $220-$380 range. Video inspection as a standalone service is $180-$260. Sealing and repair work, when needed, is quoted separately in writing after camera inspection.
What moves a job toward the higher end: larger square footage, more duct runs, accessibility issues in tight attics, and the presence of mold or heavy debris requiring extended agitation time. What doesn’t affect the price: number of vents. We price per system, not per register.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta
They need more because the original flex duct is now 35-45 years old and has been heat-cycled in 130-140°F attics for decades. The inner liner degrades. The duct sags and collapses. What presents as a cleaning job is often a cleaning-plus-sealing or re-run job once the camera goes in. In the Lassiter school district area of East Cobb, we pulled a 1983 ranch’s original flex duct apart at the plenum and found the inner liner collapsed flat for a six-foot run, packed solid with Georgia red-clay dust and compacted pollen mats; our techs ran camera inspection from the air handler, then used agitation tools and negative pressure source removal to clear it before sealing the crushed run. What looked like a cleaning call was really a sealing and re-run job - the homeowner had been breathing that collapsed section’s bypass for years. Call (678) 679-7540 for a written scope and price.
It shows up as dense, compacted mats packed against return-air grilles and coating the inside of return plenums. The Atlanta metro regularly records tree pollen above 10,000 particles per cubic meter, and Cobb County’s oak and pine canopy amplifies this locally. Homes here pull extraordinary volumes of biological particulate through return vents each spring. Without source removal back to the air handler, that pollen stays in the system and recirculates with every blower cycle. Call (678) 679-7540 for an estimate - we’ll show you what’s actually in there.
It reveals structural failures that register-level inspection cannot: inner-liner collapse, disconnected joints, crushed sag points, and mold colonization inside the insulation wrap. In Marietta’s 1975-1995 housing stock, we find at least one of these conditions in the majority of homes that have never had professional duct service. The footage is delivered to you as part of the Documented Photo Record. Call (678) 679-7540 to schedule a camera run.
Because cleaning debris out of a crushed or disconnected run doesn’t restore airflow. If the duct is collapsed, the air bypasses it. If a joint is open, the system pulls attic air. Sealing - or replacing the damaged section - restores the system’s designed performance. We only know which is needed after video inspection. The written scope separates cleaning from sealing so you see exactly what each costs. Call (678) 679-7540 for a written quote.
It does. Six-plus months of continuous cooling creates condensation at duct joints, which feeds mold growth inside the insulation. That mold circulates with every blower cycle. Homes with original flex duct in unconditioned attics face the combined stress of heat degradation and humidity-driven mold. We recommend inspection every 3-5 years for Marietta homes with systems older than 1995. Call (678) 679-7540 for a free evaluation and written recommendation.
