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 Norcross’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been working in Norcross since 2013, and the patterns here are distinct from neighboring cities. For homes that also need Air Duct Cleaning in Norcross, that same local experience applies. The split housing stock - Historic District homes with retrofitted ductwork, 1970s-1990s tract homes with aging flex duct, and high-turnover rental complexes along Buford Highway - means we’ve seen vent configurations that don’t show up in Peachtree Corners or Duluth. That experience matters when a tech needs to trace a convoluted run or find a hidden cleanout.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and we identify the technician by name before arrival. Every job starts with a written price and ends with a Documented Photo Record of the vent interior, delivered as part of the standard job record. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies in writing, not as a verbal assurance.
We don’t do $79 coupon visits. What we do is show you what was actually inside your vent, photograph it, and fix it for the price we agreed to before touching a tool.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Norcross
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Dryer Vent Cleaning job we take in Norcross begins with a camera inspection of the full lint pathway. In the Historic District, that often means tracing a vent routed through a non-standard chase added during a central-air retrofit decades ago. In the Jimmy Carter Boulevard corridor, it means documenting flex duct that has sagged, separated, or collapsed behind laundry walls after years of deferred maintenance. The inspection produces a written finding and a photo record you can see before deciding on any work.
Vent Cleaning
Our cleaning process uses source-removal agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction (vacuum capture that pulls loosened debris out of the duct rather than pushing it deeper). For Norcross’s typical 1980s-1990s tract homes, this matters because the long, sagging flex runs common in that era trap lint at low points where airflow stalls. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, including the termination point where Georgia pine pollen and oak catkins often clog the screen.
Lint Removal
Lint in Norcross vents rarely looks like the light, fluffy material most homeowners expect. In properties with wood heat or near unpaved roads, we regularly find compacted lint mixed with fine red-clay dust and organic debris. The humid subtropical climate here hardens that mixture into a felt-like mat that restricts airflow and creates a genuine fire risk. We remove it mechanically, then verify the result with a post-cleaning camera pass and airflow measurement.
Vent Rerouting
Some Norcross vents were never routed correctly in the first place. Historic District retrofits often run through tight chases with too many elbows. Older rental units may have been modified by previous tenants with whatever materials were at hand. When the inspection shows a run that cannot be cleaned effectively or safely due to design, we quote a reroute with rigid metal duct (the material specified by dryer manufacturers) and a proper exterior termination. The price is written before work begins, per Haven Standard Clause 1.

If your vent system uses a specific manufacturer component, we’ll identify it during inspection and source the correct replacement rather than forcing a generic fit.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Norcross Homes
- Long, sagging flex runs in 1970s-1990s tract homes. The suburban construction boom in Norcross produced laundry rooms with vent paths of 25 feet or more, often using flexible foil duct that sags at ceiling penetrations and low points. Lint collects where airflow slows, and the sagging material itself degrades over time.
- Historic District retrofits with no cleanout access. Homes near Thrasher Park and downtown were built before central air, so dryer vents were threaded through existing wall cavities with no provision for maintenance access. Lint accumulates invisibly until the dryer overheats or fails to dry.
- Deferred maintenance in high-occupancy rentals. The apartment and townhome complexes along Buford Highway and Jimmy Carter Boulevard often go years between vent cleanings. By the time we arrive, the lint pathway is fully blocked and the dryer is operating at dangerous temperatures.
- Rural-edge properties with outbuilding laundry systems. Properties on the periphery of Norcross with detached laundry buildings or workshop dryers face longer vent runs, more exposure to pollen and dust from unpaved drives, and systems that may not have been inspected since installation.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Norcross
Every 12-18 months for rural-edge Norcross properties, versus the 2-3 year interval that works for newer suburban construction. The combination of longer vent runs to outbuildings, dust loading from unpaved drives, and heavy pollen from the Georgia pine canopy accelerates buildup. Homes with wood heat add fine ash particulate that bonds with lint in humid conditions. Call (678) 679-7540 and we’ll inspect your specific run and recommend an interval based on what the camera shows.
Yes. We regularly clean vent runs to detached structures on rural-edge Norcross properties. These systems typically require longer rigid duct runs and may terminate through a gable or sidewall rather than a standard soffit cap. The inspection determines whether the existing route meets code and whether the extra length affects drying performance. We quote the job in writing once we’ve seen the full pathway.
It does. Historic District homes were retrofitted with ductwork and vents in spaces never designed for them, which often means tight chases, non-standard elbows, and no cleanout ports. Our techs carry specialized camera equipment and flexible agitation tools specifically for these constrained runs. We’ve worked on homes near Thrasher Park where the vent path was only discoverable with a borescope. The inspection is especially critical here, and we always photograph the full route so you understand what was found.
A near-total blockage is common. In the rental complexes along Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Buford Highway, we regularly find flexible foil duct that has separated at joints behind walls, with lint packed so densely it resembles felted wool. The dryer may be taking two or three cycles, or the automatic cycle may never complete because the moisture sensor can’t read through the restricted airflow. We document everything photographically, and if the vent run is damaged, we quote repair or rerouting in writing before proceeding.
Humidity compounds two specific problems here. First, damp lint hardens and adheres to duct walls more tenaciously than dry lint, making mechanical removal more necessary. Second, the high pollen load from Norcross’s dense oak and pine canopy introduces organic material that mixes with lint and creates a more stubborn obstruction. The climate doesn’t change the cleaning process, but it does mean that a given interval of neglect produces a more severe blockage than it would in a drier environment. Call (678) 679-7540 for a camera inspection and written price.
