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 Marietta
Dryer vent cleaning in Marietta typically runs $180-$340 for a standard single-family home, and every job starts with a written price before any work begins. We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning crew from CleanRun, dispatching from our Atlanta office to serve Marietta properties directly - whether you’re in an established East Cobb subdivision off Lassiter Road or on a rural-edge lot down an unpaved Cobb County lane. Call (678) 679-7540 and a live person answers, 24/7.
Marietta’s mix of 1970s-1990s suburban builds and remaining rural properties creates vent problems you won’t find in newer, denser metros. The same red-clay dust that stains your car after a rain also loads dryer lint pathways with a density that changes how the work gets done. We don’t guess at what’s inside the run. We camera-inspect, photograph, and remove the source - not polish the surface.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Alpharetta Is Marietta’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve served this market since 2013, and our documented photo record on every visit means Marietta homeowners see exactly what came out of their vent before we pack up. No other local company delivers a written 365-Day Done Right Promise backed by Haven Standard Clause 1 pricing on every job, every time.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they arrive with equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman - brands you can look up before you agree to anything. Tomas Reyes, who leads CleanRun, established this practice of evidence-first service from the first job twelve years ago.
Scheduling runs from our Atlanta office, but crews live and work the Marietta area daily. We know the difference between a Murdock subdivision ranch with original 1987 flex duct and a rural property off Due West Road where the vent run crosses 80 feet of open crawlspace. That local knowledge changes what tools we bring and how we scope the job.
Our reputation in Marietta is built on one thing: customers who expected a sales pitch got a written price, before-and-after photos, and a dry cycle that actually finished in one load. No manager-approval games on callbacks. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every invoice.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Marietta
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Marietta job starts here. We run a camera through the full lint pathway - from the dryer connection to the exterior termination - and photograph what we find. In older Cobb County builds, we’re often documenting sagging flex runs in attics that hit 130-140°F in July, or red-clay dust packed against the vent cap from years of unpaved road exposure. The inspection report goes to you as a standard deliverable, not an upsell opportunity.
Vent Cleaning
This is source removal, not a shop-vac pass. On Marietta properties, especially rural-edge homes, we use agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction (a sealed vacuum system that pulls debris out without releasing it into your laundry room) to break up the felted lint-and-clay mats that form in these conditions. HEPA filtration captures the fine particulate. The dryer connection, the full duct run, and the termination point all get cleaned and photographed. Equipment on these jobs includes Rotobrush agitation systems and Nikro negative-pressure units.
Lint Removal
Lint in Marietta isn’t just lint. The pollen load here - Cobb County sits inside one of the highest pollen-count metros in the country, with spring tree counts regularly exceeding 10,000 particles per cubic meter - binds with dryer lint into dense, felted accumulation. Add Georgia red-clay dust from unpaved roads and you get a blockage that reduces airflow, extends dry times, and creates genuine fire risk. We remove the source material completely, then verify with airflow measurement and a second camera pass.
Vent Rerouting
Many 1975-mid-90s Marietta homes were built with dryer ducts routed through unconditioned attics or crawlspaces in flexible material that’s now 30-50 years old. The inner liner degrades in attic heat, the sagging creates low points where lint and moisture collect, and the run length often exceeds what modern dryers can push against. We reroute to code-compliant rigid metal, shorten the pathway where possible, and terminate with a proper vent cap or bird guard. Every reroute gets a written scope and a photo record of the new installation.
Bird Guard Installation
Marietta’s mature tree canopy - oaks and pines throughout East Cobb and the Lassiter district - means birds and squirrels regularly nest in unprotected vent terminations. A Guardsman bird guard prevents this without restricting airflow. We measure the termination size, install the correct guard, and photograph the fit. This is standard on most reroutes and recommended on any cleaning where the existing cap is damaged or missing.
Vent Cap Replacement
The exterior termination is where most Marietta vent problems become visible - or fail to, because the flapper is sealed shut under debris. We replace damaged caps with code-compliant terminations that open under dryer pressure and seal when the cycle ends, keeping pests and weather out.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Marietta
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, and Guardsman - professional-grade tools from trade-recognized manufacturers, not hardware-store attachments. We stock Guardsman bird guards and standard vent caps locally, so Marietta customers aren’t waiting on a parts order for a straightforward replacement. Every brand we name is one you can research independently before we arrive. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1 in practice: no mystery equipment, no mystery pricing.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Marietta Homes
- Rural-edge dust loading. On properties off unpaved Cobb County roads, red-clay grit and spring pollen ride in on laundry and exhaust air, mixing with lint into a cement-like mat. A homeowner’s shop vac just polishes this surface. Our source-removal process breaks it up and extracts it completely.
- Long, sagging runs on 1975-mid-90s Cobb builds. Dryer ducts routed through unconditioned attics or crawlspaces in flex material sag at low points, creating permanent collection spots for lint and clay dust. The dryer labors against a blocked pathway for years without tripping any obvious warning sign.
- Wood-heat and outbuilding systems. A shop or barn dryer on its own vent run gets no attention until the flapper jams or the run becomes a fire hazard. Summer attic temps of 130-140°F bake debris into the liner, so our camera inspection usually finds what a visible-mouth check missed.
- Original homeowners in East Cobb subdivisions who’ve never had the vent touched. In neighborhoods around Murdock, Lassiter, and Pope school districts, we regularly find 30-year accumulations of Georgia red-clay dust, degraded flex-duct insulation fibers, and compacted pollen mats packed against the termination.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marietta, GA
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Marietta runs $180-$240 for a single-family home with a straightforward run and accessible termination. Properties with longer ductwork, attic or crawlspace routing, or significant blockage requiring extended agitation work typically fall in the $260-$340 range. Vent rerouting, bird guard installation, or cap replacement are quoted separately with a written scope before any work begins.
What moves the price: run length and accessibility, the degree of blockage (a felted clay-and-lint mat takes longer than loose accumulation), whether the duct is flex or rigid metal, and whether rerouting or component replacement is needed. We don’t do per-vent pricing - it’s one flat price per system, agreed in writing, with no invoice surprises.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marietta
Yes. A blocked vent extends dry times, wears out heating elements faster, and pushes humid air back into the laundry space - which in Marietta’s humid subtropical climate means mold risk on surrounding drywall and trim. Most customers we clean for in the East Cobb and Lassiter areas report dry cycles dropping from two loads to one, with lower energy bills to match. Call (678) 679-7540 for an exact quote on your system - estimates are free.
Yes, and these are common in Marietta’s 1975-1995 housing stock. The attic heat doesn’t prevent cleaning - it explains why the flex duct liner has degraded and why lint collects at sag points. We use heat-rated agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction with HEPA filtration, then document the run condition with before-and-after photos. If the duct material is too far gone, we’ll quote a reroute in rigid metal, in writing, before any replacement work starts.
Functionally it’s the same system, but outbuilding vents in Marietta’s rural-edge properties are often longer, uninsulated, and completely ignored until the dryer stops working or the flapper jams. Summer attic temps of 130-140°F bake lint and clay dust into the liner, so we always start with a camera inspection. The cleaning process is identical - source removal, agitation, HEPA-filtered extraction, photo documentation - but the condition we find is usually worse than the house vent. One flat price per system, agreed before work starts.
The camera documents four things: blockage type and density, duct material condition (flex vs. rigid, degraded liner or intact), proper slope and support (sagging creates permanent collection points), and termination condition (flapper operation, pest intrusion, weather damage). In a 1980s Cobb County ranch, we’re often finding all four issues at once. The inspection report with photos is yours to keep, whether or not you proceed with cleaning. Call (678) 679-7540 to schedule.
For homes on paved roads with standard suburban lint loads, every 2-3 years is typical. For Marietta’s rural-edge properties on unpaved Cobb County roads, or homes with wood heat and high particulate exposure, we recommend annual inspection with cleaning as the camera indicates. The red-clay dust and extreme pollen counts here create a loading rate that generic annual recommendations don’t account for. We don’t sell maintenance contracts - we photograph the condition and let the evidence set the interval.
