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.

We serve Johns Creek from our Atlanta office, with crews running daily routes through Medlock Bridge, St. Ives, Shakerag, and Abbotts Bridge. These neighborhoods share a construction pattern we see nowhere else in metro Atlanta: large two-story homes with second-floor laundry rooms and dryer vents routed through shared vertical shafts that terminate at roof level. That routing detail changes everything about how the vent must be cleaned, and most Johns Creek homeowners don’t realize it until their dryer starts failing.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team carries camera inspection systems, agitation tools, and HEPA-filtered extraction equipment from Rotobrush and Guardsman specifically to handle these hidden runs. We document every job with before-and-after photos of the full vent pathway, not just the accessible sections.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Cumming Is Johns Creek’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
CleanRun has been independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard since 2013. In that time we’ve served more than 52,000 homes, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. Johns Creek represents a significant share of our route schedule, and we’ve developed specific protocols for its master-planned subdivisions.
Our local reputation in Johns Creek is built on one thing: showing customers what was actually in their vent. The camera doesn’t lie. A homeowner in St. Ives who watched our monitor display a three-inch lint dam at the first elbow of a shared stack understood immediately why ground-level cleaning hadn’t solved their problem. Reviews from Johns Creek customers consistently cite this transparency, along with our technicians arriving in uniform, identified by name, with background verification completed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
Response time to Johns Creek is typically same-week, with scheduling coordinated from our Atlanta office. We don’t manufacture urgency. We do answer every call with a live person, 24/7, and we don’t use automated dispatch for a service where routing details this specific.
The local knowledge that matters most: we know which Johns Creek subdivisions have roof-terminated vents, which have shared stacks, and which builders used extended flex duct runs prone to sagging. That knowledge saves time and prevents the incomplete cleanings we’ve been called to fix after other services.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Johns Creek
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every job we perform in Johns Creek starts here. We run a camera through the full vent pathway, from the dryer connection to the termination point, whether that’s a wall cap, soffit vent, or roof jack. In Medlock Bridge and St. Ives, that camera routinely reveals lint accumulation at hidden elbows inside shared vertical stacks, sections no ground-level tool can reach. The inspection produces a documented video record included with your job file, and the written scope of work is priced before any cleaning begins. Haven Standard Clause 1: Written Price Before Work Starts.
Vent Cleaning
Our cleaning process uses negative-pressure extraction, which means we place the ductwork under suction while agitation tools dislodge lint and debris. For Johns Creek’s shared-stack systems, we access the vent at multiple points to ensure the full run is cleared, not just the visible section. The Rotobrush system we deploy includes HEPA filtration, capturing particles down to 0.3 microns. Every duct run is photographed before and after. The photo record is delivered as a standard deliverable, not an upgrade.
Lint Removal
Lint in Johns Creek homes doesn’t accumulate uniformly. The extended flex duct runs common in Shakerag and Abbotts Bridge homes sag at low points, creating traps where wet lint compacts into dense blockages. Standard brushes skip these sections. Our technicians use camera-guided agitation tools to locate and break up these deposits, then extract them under suction. We measure airflow before and after cleaning with a calibrated anemometer, and we show you the numbers.
Vent Rerouting
Some Johns Creek homes have dryer vent configurations that violate current code or create unavoidable blockage points. A vent with multiple 90-degree elbows, or one that exceeds 25 feet in equivalent length, will clog repeatedly regardless of cleaning frequency. We evaluate these systems during inspection and can reroute to a more direct path where structurally feasible. All rerouting includes a written price, permit guidance if required by Fulton County, and documentation of the new configuration.
Vent Cap Replacement
The vent cap is the most neglected component in most systems. In Johns Creek’s wooded lots, caps without functioning backdraft dampers or bird guards become entry points for squirrels, nesting birds, and insects. We stock Guardsman vent caps with integrated bird guards and replace damaged or missing caps as part of our standard service. A proper cap prevents re-infestation and maintains the airflow gains from cleaning.
Bird Guard Installation
Johns Creek’s mature tree canopy supports active bird populations, and roof-terminated vents without guards are common nesting sites. Bird guard installation is a preventive measure we recommend during cap replacement, particularly for homes in heavily wooded sections of St. Ives and Medlock Bridge.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Johns Creek
CleanRun technicians arrive with professional-grade equipment from trade-recognized brands: Rotobrush for agitation cleaning, Nikro for negative-pressure extraction, and Guardsman for vent caps and protective accessories. We don’t ask customers to take our word for performance. These are manufacturer names you can look up independently, and we name them because Haven Standard Clause 2: Documented Equipment means customers deserve to know what enters their home. For Johns Creek customers, stocking Guardsman caps locally means same-visit replacement rather than a return trip.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Johns Creek Homes
- Shared vertical stacks with hidden elbows. In St. Ives and Medlock Bridge, second-floor laundry rooms vent through shared interior walls. Lint accumulates at elbows inside the wall cavity, invisible from either end. Ground-level cleaning misses these blockages entirely. Camera inspection is the only reliable detection method.
- Roof terminations above second-story soffits. Many Johns Creek homes terminate dryer vents at roof level, a routing choice that places the most lint-prone section out of reach from the ground. Ladder access with proper fall protection is required, and the cap must be removed for thorough cleaning. We document the roof work with photos.
- Sagging flex duct in extended runs. The 3,500-6,000+ sq ft homes common in Johns Creek require longer duct runs, often with flexible duct that sags at low points. Wet lint traps in these sags and compacts over time. Standard brushes pass over without dislodging. Camera-guided agitation tools and variable-speed Rotobrush heads are necessary.
- Basement utility rooms with forgotten vents. Finished basements in Shakerag and Abbotts Bridge frequently include a secondary laundry area or former utility space with an active dryer vent that’s never inspected. These runs are often the longest and most obstructed in the house.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Johns Creek
Your Johns Creek home likely has a stacked laundry room with a longer, more complex vent path. Master-planned subdivisions here were built with second-floor laundry rooms venting through shared interior stacks to roof terminations, adding elbows and equivalent length that trap lint faster than simple through-wall vents. The extended flex duct runs common in these large homes also sag and create low-point traps. Call (678) 693-5322 for an inspection that maps your specific vent path and identifies the blockage points.
If your laundry room is on the second floor and the vent doesn’t exit through an exterior wall within a few feet of the dryer, it almost certainly routes through a shared stack. In St. Ives and Medlock Bridge, this is the dominant construction pattern. A camera inspection confirms the routing in minutes. We perform this inspection as the first step of every job, and we show you the video.
Yes, if the basement contains a secondary laundry area or an active vent serving a former utility space. These basement vents are often the longest runs in Johns Creek homes and are frequently overlooked by technicians who only service the main-floor units. Our inspection protocol checks all active vents, and we document each one. The cleaning process itself uses the same equipment, but basement runs may require additional access points.
Clothes requiring more than one cycle to dry, a laundry room that feels humid or smells of lint, visible lint accumulation around the dryer connection, or the dryer feeling unusually hot to touch during operation. In Johns Creek’s stacked-vent homes, these symptoms often indicate a blockage at a hidden elbow rather than at the dryer itself. A roof-level termination that shows no visible exhaust during dryer operation is another critical sign. Call (678) 693-5322 for priority scheduling.
Yes. Our technicians use ladder stabilizers and walk pads to protect roofing materials, and we remove the vent cap for direct access rather than forcing tools through from below. The Guardsman caps we install are designed for serviceable removal and reinstallation. We photograph the roof work area before and after as part of the documented photo record. If your roof pitch or condition makes ladder access inadvisable, we’ll tell you directly and discuss alternative approaches.
