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.

AfterAbatement Technologies Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta: What to Know First
We provide independent Abatement Technologies air duct cleaning in Alpharetta with a written price delivered before any work starts, and every duct run is photographed before and after. Most residential Abatement Technologies systems we service in Alpharetta are completed in a single scheduled visit, with the documented photo record delivered as a standard part of the job record. This page is for homeowners who own an Abatement Technologies air filtration or HVAC accessory system and need to know whether their ductwork is actually clean, what that costs in this market, and how to verify the work was done rather than promised. Call (678) 679-7540 for a free estimate with a written price.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PREDATOR 800 Series portable air scrubbers - The HEPA filter housing seal on early 800-series units degrades faster in Alpharetta’s high-humidity spring and summer months, allowing bypass air to enter the duct system downstream. We document the seal condition with pre-cleaning photos, replace the gasket with a compatible high-temp silicone seal if degradation is present, and verify zero bypass with a smoke pencil test before the duct cleaning begins.
- HEPA-AIRE SAH2 and SAH4 negative air machines - The blower motor mounts on these units fatigue when used in continuous commercial applications, causing vibration that transfers into connected flex duct and loosens collar connections over time. Our crews check collar torque as part of every Abatement Technologies-connected system cleaning, and we include torque verification in the written scope - not as an upsell, but as standard practice under Haven Standard Clause 2: Documented Scope.
- ABATEMENT CAT5 and CAT6 containment systems - The poly sheeting attachment points on these containment units can introduce particulate into return ducts if the negative-pressure balance shifts during remodeling or remediation work in Alpharetta’s active construction zones, particularly in the Avalon area and newer subdivisions off Windward Parkway. We inspect return plenums (the large central chamber where air collects before reaching the handler) for construction debris signatures - drywall dust, fiberglass fragments, and fastener debris - and photograph the composition before extraction begins.
- UV400 and UV600 ultraviolet air purification add-ons - The quartz sleeve fouling on these UV-C units is often mistaken for a lamp failure; homeowners smell microbial growth or see reduced airflow and assume the ducts need replacement rather than cleaning. We remove the sleeve, photograph the fouling pattern, and clean both sleeve and surrounding plenum with controlled negative-pressure extraction before testing lamp output with a UV meter. The lamp may be fine. The sleeve almost never is.
- Guardian HEPA systems (Abatement Technologies-manufactured, Guardsman-branded) - The pre-filter loading indicator on Guardian units mounted in Alpharetta crawl spaces gives false readings when humidity exceeds 75%, which happens regularly from May through September in this market. We bypass the indicator and measure actual static pressure drop across the pre-filter with a digital manometer, then include that reading in the job record so the homeowner has objective data for their next filter change - not a blinking light that cried wolf.
Our Abatement Technologies Air Duct Cleaning Process
- 1
Call and scheduling. A live person answers, confirms the Abatement Technologies model if known, and schedules a visit. No “call for a quote” - we arrive with pricing prepared for your system type.
- 2
Arrival and system identification. Our technician, identified by name before arrival and background-checked under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, locates the Abatement Technologies unit, confirms model and serial, and notes any connected accessories (UV, HEPA bypass, or negative-air port).
- 3
Video inspection and photo documentation. The camera goes in first. Everything else follows from what it shows. We photograph every duct run - supply and return - with a scope that records to the job file. The homeowner sees the screen in real time.
- 4
Written scope and price. Based on debris load, duct integrity, and any Abatement Technologies-specific issues found, we deliver a written price before any panel comes off. Haven Standard Clause 1: No Exceptions.
- 5
Negative-pressure extraction and component cleaning. We use Rotobrush contact cleaning for residential ductwork, with Nikro or Abatement Technologies negative-air machines for containment and debris collection as the job scale requires. All equipment is named on the written scope so you can verify specifications independently.
- 6
Post-cleaning verification and deliverables. Every run is re-photographed. The photo record, written scope, and 365-Day Done Right Promise are delivered as standard. We test static pressure and airflow before leaving.

What moves the price: number of duct runs, accessibility (crawl space vs. attic vs. basement), debris type (standard household dust vs. construction residue or microbial growth), and whether the Abatement Technologies unit requires seal or gasket replacement. We do not quote per-vent. One flat price per system, agreed before work starts. Call (678) 679-7540 for a written estimate - estimates are free, and we provide a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written quote.
Why Alpharetta Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Alpharetta for Abatement Technologies Work
We’ve cleaned ductwork in Alpharetta since 2013, including a stretch of homes near Avalon where Tomas Reyes says the construction debris left in the ductwork during the build phase still surprises him. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job - not stated in marketing copy, but signed and delivered. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Abatement Technologies equipment specifics, not just generic duct cleaning. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, which matters when your Abatement Technologies unit is integrated with a mixed-manufacturer HVAC setup and the problem is at the junction, not the label. Every job starts with a written price and ends with a photo record. That’s the Haven Standard.
FAQs
No - professional duct cleaning does not void the Abatement Technologies equipment warranty, provided the work is performed by a qualified technician who does not modify factory connections or use incompatible replacement parts. We document every seal and gasket we touch with pre- and post-cleaning photos, and we use OEM or cross-referenced compatible parts only. If your unit is still under warranty, we flag this in the written scope and note any manufacturer-required service intervals. Call (678) 679-7540 if you have warranty paperwork you’d like us to review before scheduling.
You receive a documented photo record of every duct run, before and after, as a standard deliverable - not upon request, not for an extra fee. The photo record is timestamped and includes the duct location label (e.g., “Master Bedroom Supply, Run 3”). If the camera didn’t go in, the photo doesn’t exist, and we don’t charge for work we can’t prove. Tomas Reyes has held this practice since CleanRun’s first job in 2013.
Replace the unit if the blower motor has failed twice, the HEPA housing is cracked, or repair parts exceed 60% of replacement cost - otherwise, repair with documented component replacement is usually the better value. We provide both numbers in writing: the repair scope with parts and labor, and the replacement option with model cross-reference, so you decide from actual data rather than a technician’s preference. Our Free Second Opinion applies to replacement recommendations from other contractors.
For HEPA filters and UV lamps, OEM ensures the rated MERV value and UV-C output match the unit’s engineered airflow - aftermarket equivalents often underperform on specifications they claim to meet. For seals, gaskets, and hardware, quality aftermarket from recognized suppliers performs identically at lower cost, and we note the source on the written scope. We do not use unbranded generic parts on any Abatement Technologies system.
Every 3 to 5 years for standard residential systems; every 2 to 3 years if the home is near active construction, has pets, or runs the system continuously during pollen season. Alpharetta’s oak and pine pollen load - particularly March through May - accelerates filter loading and duct deposition. We include a pollen-exposure assessment in our inspection and recommend the interval based on what the camera shows, not a calendar.
