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 Air Duct Cleaning Across Alpharetta
Air duct cleaning for a typical Alpharetta home runs $450-$850 for a full system, with most jobs completed in one working day and a written price delivered before any panel comes off. CleanRun crews serve Alpharetta from our Atlanta office, and we know the specific duct configurations you’ll find in Windward, Northpark, and the rest of North Fulton County. Call (678) 693-5322 for a free estimate with no obligation.
We’ve been working in Alpharetta since 2013, and the homes here aren’t like the rest of metro Atlanta. The master-planned communities built during the tech boom - Windward, Northpark, the subdivisions off Windward Parkway and Haynes Bridge Road - carry a specific set of duct problems that only show up after two decades of Georgia heat cycling through the attic. Our Air Duct Cleaning team documents every run with before-and-after photos, so you see what was actually in there.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Cumming Is Alpharetta’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We don’t win Alpharetta customers with coupons. We win them with photographs.
Every job we complete in Alpharetta - every duct run, every register, every plenum (the main distribution box attached to your air handler) - is photographed before and after. The photo record is included as a standard deliverable, not an upsell. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before work starts; Haven Standard Clause 3 requires verified, background-checked, uniformed crews. Tomas Reyes established these protocols in 2013, and they’ve applied to all 52,000-plus homes we’ve served since.
Alpharetta’s housing stock demands this level of documentation. The 2,500-5,000 square foot two-story homes built between 1990 and 2010, concentrated in neighborhoods like Windward and Northpark, run four- to six-zone forced-air systems with long flex-duct trunk lines buried in attic space that hits 130-140°F in July. That’s not a configuration you clean properly with a shop vac and a prayer. Our crews use Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro negative-pressure extraction systems with HEPA filtration, and we cut proper access panels when builders left them out.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Alpharetta
Residential Duct Cleaning
Alpharetta’s single-family homes present a specific challenge: new construction gets handed over with drywall dust, sawdust, and joint compound grit still coating the inside of supply and return ducts. Homeowners assume a one-year-old house can’t need cleaning. The debris keeps cycling through the blower motor and registers, wearing components prematurely. Our residential service includes full negative-pressure extraction of every duct run, register, and the plenum, with a documented photo record of what we removed.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Windward’s office parks and the medical buildings along North Point Parkway require scheduled maintenance that doesn’t disrupt operations. We work with Alpharetta property managers to coordinate after-hours or weekend service, with the same written pricing and photo documentation standard on every job. Commercial systems in this market tend to be larger package units with rooftop access; our crews are equipped for both ladder and interior access configurations.
Supply Duct Cleaning
The supply side pushes conditioned air to your rooms. In Alpharetta’s 1990s-2000s flex-duct systems, sagging mid-span runs create belly traps that pool fine red-clay dust and pine debris. Crews who only clean the visible trunk lines miss the accumulation at those low points. We run agitation tools the full length of every supply run, under negative pressure, and photograph the results. Supply duct cleaning for a typical Alpharetta zone runs $120-$220 when done as part of a full system.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. In Alpharetta, these are the entry point for the pollen load that makes North Fulton County one of the highest-pollen corridors in the country. Mature loblolly pines and water oaks sit immediately adjacent to homes throughout Windward and Northpark, and their seasonal pollen infiltrates return-air grilles during Georgia’s extended spring. Combined with summer humidity, this creates biofilm accumulation on return duct walls. Our return cleaning includes register removal and contact cleaning, not just vacuuming at the grille.
Full System Cleaning
This is our recommended service for Alpharetta homes: every supply run, every return run, the plenum, registers, and the air handler cabinet, photographed before and after. A typical 4-zone Alpharetta home runs $650-$850. Full system cleaning addresses the complete airflow path, which matters in homes where construction debris from 1999 is still circulating or where flex-duct bellies have trapped debris for decades.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection service uses a borescope camera pushed through the full duct run to locate sags, separations, and debris accumulation the eye can’t reach. In Alpharetta’s older flex-duct systems, this often reveals mid-span bellies packed with red-clay dust and pine debris - the same pattern we find neighborhood after neighborhood in that construction vintage. Video inspection runs $150-$250 as a standalone service, or it’s included with full system cleaning.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Alpharetta
CleanRun crews operate professional-grade equipment from trade-recognized brands: Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro negative-pressure extractors, and Honeywell media filters. We don’t use equipment you can’t look up and verify. These are the same tools specified in commercial duct cleaning standards, adapted for residential application in Alpharetta’s specific housing stock. If your system includes Aprilaire or Guardsman components, our technicians are trained on their configuration and can service them without subcontracting.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Alpharetta Homes
- Construction debris in “new” homes. Alpharetta’s 2015-2025 builds often get handed over with drywall dust and joint compound grit still inside the ductwork. The debris wasn’t cleaned at handover, and homeowners don’t realize a one-year-old house can already have restricted airflow and blower motor strain.
- Flex-duct belly traps in 1990s-2000s systems. Undersupported flex duct at joist spans sags after 25-plus years of thermal cycling in 130-140°F attics. These bellies pool fine red-clay dust and pine debris in predictable low-point patterns, especially in Windward and Northpark homes.
- Missing access panels. Builders rarely left proper access at the air handler or zone dampers in Alpharetta’s multi-zone homes. Thorough source removal requires cutting access - a step cheap bids skip, leaving entire zones untouched.
- Pollen-driven biofilm accumulation. North Fulton’s extraordinary pollen load, combined with high summer humidity, creates ideal conditions for biological growth on duct walls. Return ducts are particularly affected, and surface cleaning at the grille doesn’t reach the problem.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta, GA
We publish ranges because Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before work starts, every time. Here is what air duct cleaning costs in Alpharetta’s market:
| Service | Typical Range in Alpharetta |
|---|---|
| Full System Cleaning (2-3 zone home) | $450-$650 |
| Full System Cleaning (4-6 zone home) | $650-$850 |
| Supply or Return Duct Cleaning (per zone) | $120-$220 |
| Video Inspection (standalone) | $150-$250 |
| Dryer Vent Cleaning (with duct service) | $75-$150 |
What moves the price: zone count, duct accessibility (whether we need to cut access panels), and the condition found during initial inspection. A 5-zone Windward home with no access panels and packed belly traps takes longer than a 3-zone home with straight runs and existing access. We deliver the written price after inspection, before any work begins. No exceptions. Call (678) 693-5322 for your free estimate.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
New construction in Alpharetta is frequently handed over with drywall dust, sawdust, and joint compound grit still inside the supply and return ducts. Builders’ final cleaning addresses visible surfaces, not the interior of duct runs. That debris circulates through your blower motor and registers from day one, causing premature wear and reduced airflow. We regularly find construction debris in Alpharetta homes less than five years old. Call (678) 693-5322 for a video inspection that will show you exactly what’s in there.
Most Alpharetta flex-duct systems need cleaning first, with Duct Repair & Sealing - Alpharetta reserved for sections where the liner has torn or the insulation jacket has degraded from sustained attic heat. Our video inspection identifies separations at duct board seams and tears in flex liner that cleaning alone won’t fix. We mark these sections on the photo record and quote replacement separately, so you don’t pay for ductwork you don’t need. Call (678) 693-5322 to schedule an inspection.
A 5-zone Alpharetta home has more duct runs, more registers, more zone dampers, and typically longer flex-duct trunk lines buried in attic space. The complexity isn’t linear - a 5-zone system can take nearly twice the time of a 3-zone, especially when access panels are missing. Our pricing reflects this: full system cleaning for a 4-6 zone Alpharetta home runs $650-$850 versus $450-$650 for 2-3 zones. Every zone is photographed before and after.
Cleaning removes accumulated pollen, dust, and biological growth from duct walls, which reduces the reservoir of material that circulates through your home. It does not seal your house against future pollen infiltration - that’s a function of filtration and envelope sealing. After cleaning, we recommend Honeywell or Aprilaire media filters rated for the particle sizes common in North Fulton’s spring pollen load. The combination of source removal and upgraded filtration produces measurable improvement in indoor particle counts.
You’ll see the interior surface of every duct run we can access: flex liner, duct board, or metal. In Alpharetta’s 1990s-2000s homes, we commonly show homeowners mid-span sags with packed debris at the low point, separated seams at duct board joints, and construction debris from original handover. The video is recorded and included with your job documentation. If we find damage that requires repair rather than cleaning, we mark the timestamp and explain the options before quoting any additional work.
