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 Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Johns Creek
Dryer vent cleaning in Johns Creek typically runs $180-$340 for a standard single-run system, with most jobs completed in 90 minutes to two hours. We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning team at CleanRun, and we’ve been routing crews to Johns Creek from our Atlanta office since 2013. We know the long, drywalled chases builders repeated across Country Club of the South and St. Ives, the crushed foil transitions behind dryers that throttle airflow before the run itself packs, and the second-story caps homeowners never see until a camera shows the problem. Call (678) 679-7540 for a written price before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Alpharetta Is Johns Creek’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve served Johns Creek homeowners since our first year in business, and the pattern here is unmistakable. The city’s master-planned communities were built fast during the 1990s and 2000s suburban boom, with laundry rooms set back from exterior walls and long, low-slope vent runs hidden inside identical chases. Our crews have photographed the same lint-packed elbow at the same predictable bend in house after house. That repetition means we know what to look for before we arrive, and we quote accurately because we’ve seen the geometry before.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and we identify each crew member by name before arrival. Every job carries a written price delivered before a single panel comes off, documented before-and-after photos of every run, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing. We’re independently owned and operated, not a franchise, and our equipment roster includes professional-grade tools from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies that customers can verify independently.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Johns Creek
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Johns Creek job starts here. We run a camera inspection down the full length of the vent run, from the transition behind your dryer to the exterior cap, because the city’s builder-repeated chase geometry hides problems in predictable places. In St. Ives and Country Club of the South, we regularly find lint packed at the elbow where the run changes direction inside the chase, or a crushed flexible transition throttling airflow to half its rated capacity. The camera shows it. You see it. Then we write the scope and price before any work begins.
Vent Cleaning
We clean with agitation tools under negative-pressure extraction, not a shop vac and a prayer. For Johns Creek’s long runs, often 15-20 feet inside a drywalled chase, that means multiple tool passes to dislodge packed lint at the low points where gravity and humidity have settled it. Our crews document every run with before-and-after photos as standard, delivered with your job record. If the inspection found a sagging or collapsed inner liner that cleaning alone won’t restore, we flag it and quote repair separately, never as a surprise mid-job.
Lint Removal
Johns Creek’s humid subtropical climate means six months of heavy AC use, and that humidity migrates into dryer vent runs where it binds lint into dense, packed layers. The result isn’t surface dust. It’s a hardened mat that reduces airflow by 30, 40, sometimes 50 percent before a homeowner notices longer dry times. We remove it mechanically, verify flow restoration with a meter, and photograph the cleared run. The photo record is yours, part of every standard visit.
Vent Rerouting
Some Johns Creek homes need more than cleaning. The original builder run may be too long, too many elbows, or terminated in a location that traps moisture. We reroute with rigid metal pipe, not flexible foil, to reduce friction and eliminate the crush points that foil transitions create. Every reroute is scoped in writing, priced upfront, and photographed on completion.
Bird Guard Installation
Johns Creek’s preserved tree canopy means birds, squirrels, and nesting material at exterior caps. A missing or damaged screen on a second-story or attic-level cap, common in Country Club of the South’s multi-story homes, invites blockages that back lint into the run and create genuine fire risk. We install Guardsman bird guards with stainless-steel mesh, verify proper airflow after installation, and document the cap condition in your photo record.
Vent Cap Replacement
Caps degrade, flappers stick, and screens tear. We stock replacement caps for Johns Creek’s common configurations and replace them as part of a cleaning visit or as a standalone call. The new cap is photographed, airflow-verified, and warranted under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

On dryer vent jobs in Johns Creek, we deploy agitation and extraction tools from Rotobrush and Nikro, negative-pressure systems from Abatement Technologies, and bird guard hardware from Guardsman.

For homes with integrated indoor air quality systems, we’re familiar with Honeywell and Aprilaire components and can coordinate vent work with broader system maintenance.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Johns Creek Homes
- New-construction handover debris. Johns Creek’s large new builds from the 1990s and 2000s left drywall dust and construction debris in laundry chases that settled into the first lint layer. The first clog arrives years sooner than owners expect, often within the first two to four years of occupancy.
- Crushed foil transitions behind the dryer. The builder’s flexible foil transition gets flattened against the wall during move-in, appliance swaps, or even aggressive cleaning crews. Airflow drops before the main run packs, and the symptom, longer dry times, gets blamed on the dryer itself.
- Unseen second-story or attic caps. Multi-story homes in Country Club of the South and St. Ives vent through caps owners never see. Missing screens, stuck flappers, and nest blockages go unnoticed for years until a camera inspection reveals the restriction.
- Predictable lint packing at the chase elbow. The builder-repeated geometry across Johns Creek’s planned communities creates the same low-slope run to the same direction-change elbow. Lint settles there first, in house after house, well past where any consumer-grade tool can reach.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Johns Creek
Construction debris and drywall dust settle in the laundry chase during building, then bind with the first lint loads to form an early blockage. In Johns Creek’s large-format homes from the 1990s-2000s boom, that chase is long and low-slope, so debris accumulates at the first elbow before the homeowner expects it. We find packed material in homes less than three years old regularly. Call (678) 679-7540 for an inspection and written estimate - estimates are free.
Longer dry times, a hot dryer exterior, or a laundry room that feels more humid than usual are the common signals. In Country Club of the South and St. Ives, where the cap is often on a second-story wall or roofline, the blockage hides completely from view. Our camera inspection shows the full run, including the cap, and the photo record lets you see what we see. Call (678) 679-7540 to schedule.
Yes. An unscreened cap invites bird nests, squirrel debris, and insect colonies that block airflow and create fire risk. Johns Creek’s heavy tree canopy means more wildlife pressure than open suburban landscapes. We replace missing screens with Guardsman bird guards, verify airflow after installation, and document the cap in your job record. Call (678) 679-7540 for a written price before any work starts.
Because the builder-repeated chase geometry here creates predictable but hidden problems - crushed transitions, packed elbows, collapsed liner sections - that change the scope and price. Quoting blind means guessing, and guessing means surprise invoices. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before work begins, so we inspect first, show you the camera footage, then write the scope and price. Call (678) 679-7540 to schedule your inspection.
Almost certainly, unless a previous owner replaced it. The original flexible foil or corrugated plastic transition behind the dryer is typically still in place, now brittle or crushed after 25-plus years. The main run may be intact, but we regularly find that the transition and the first elbow need replacement to restore safe airflow. Our inspection determines what’s original, what needs replacement, and we quote both paths in writing before starting. Call (678) 679-7540 for your estimate.
