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.

We serve Alpharetta from our Atlanta office, with crews running daily routes through Windward, Downtown Alpharetta, and the subdivisions off Georgia 400. Our technicians know the difference between a 1995 build with stapled flex duct and a 2010 home with properly clamped rigid runs. That matters when you’re pricing a job and when you’re trying to clear a 12-foot vertical stack without tearing open a wall.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Sandy Springs Is Alpharetta’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve been in Alpharetta homes since 2013. In that time, we’ve documented photo records from more than 3,200 dryer vent jobs in this city alone. Those records show a clear pattern: Alpharetta’s housing stock creates dryer vent problems that don’t show up the same way in Roswell or Duluth, and solving them requires equipment and techniques matched to the actual building, not a generic shop-vac approach.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta crews are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes reviews every photo record before it goes to the customer. If the work isn’t right, we make it right - the 365-Day Done Right Promise is written on every invoice, not buried in a policy manual.
We don’t do “call for a quote.” Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before any work starts, every time, no exceptions. Bring us a competitor’s written estimate and we’ll deliver a free second opinion in writing, line item against line item.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Alpharetta
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every job starts here. We run a borescope camera through the full vent pathway and photograph what we find. In Alpharetta’s denser master-planned communities, many dryer vents are routed through shared vertical stacks, so a single lint blockage can affect multiple units - an issue almost never seen in neighboring cities with mostly detached single-family homes. The inspection identifies whether you’re dealing with a simple lint accumulation, a crushed flex section, or a shared-stack backup that requires coordinating access with neighboring units. You get the photos before we quote the work.
Vent Cleaning
We clean using agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction - portable Nikro units for restricted-access buildings, truck-mounted Rotobrush systems where parking and setup allow. The method depends on your building. In Alpharetta’s condo complexes along Windward Parkway, restricted parking often rules out truck-mounted equipment, so we deploy portable units that still meet NADCA standards for negative pressure. The photo record shows every duct run before and after, delivered as part of the standard job record.
Lint Removal
Lint is the visible problem. The underlying problem in Alpharetta is usually how that lint got trapped. Georgia Piedmont humidity - summer dew points in the low-to-mid 70s°F - causes lint to cling and compact in sagging flex duct. Combined with Alpharetta’s extreme spring pollen loads, which overwhelm standard 1-inch filters and load the laundry environment with fine organic debris, you get lint that doesn’t blow through; it adheres. We remove the accumulation and document the cause so you know whether the fix is a cleaning or a reroute.
Vent Rerouting
Some Alpharetta ductwork can’t be cleaned effectively because it was installed wrong. In Windward, we responded to a dryer taking two cycles to dry a load. Our camera inspection revealed a 12-foot vertical run clogged with lint and a crushed section where the flex duct had been stapled during original construction. Using agitation tools and negative pressure, we cleared the lint pathway and replaced the damaged section with rigid metal duct, restoring proper airflow. Rerouting is quoted as a separate scope with its own written price - no surprises when the crew opens the wall.
Bird Guard Installation
Alpharetta’s mature tree canopy attracts nesting birds. A bird guard on the exterior cap prevents blockages that force lint back into the system. We stock Guardsman caps and can install same-visit if the inspection shows an unprotected termination.
Vent Cap Replacement
Builder-grade caps on 1990s and 2000s Alpharetta homes often have flappers that seized shut or screens that clogged with lint. We replace with low-resistance caps that maintain proper airflow while keeping pests out.

For homes with integrated Aprilaire or Honeywell air quality systems, we coordinate dryer vent work with whole-duct scope so you’re not paying for two mobilizations.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Alpharetta Homes
- Shared stack backups in multi-unit buildings. In Alpharetta’s denser master-planned communities, lint from one unit’s dryer can back up into neighboring units through shared vertical stacks. We find this repeatedly in townhome clusters off Haynes Bridge Road and Windward Parkway, where original construction routed multiple units through a single chase. One clogged unit creates a cascade of dryers shutting down on thermal overload.
- Sagging flex duct with loose connections. Builders in Alpharetta’s 1988-2010 subdivisions often used long, winding flex duct runs with loose connections, which sag and trap lint. The humidity of the Georgia Piedmont accelerates the sagging. We document these failures with scope photos showing the belly in the line where lint has formed a dam.
- Restricted equipment access forcing substandard cleaning. In condo and apartment complexes with limited parking or no service elevator, some operators show up with a shop vac and call it done. Our portable Nikro units maintain NADCA-standard negative pressure without truck access, and we document the pressure reading.
- Crushed or stapled duct sections in wall cavities. Original construction in communities like Windward often stapled flex duct at register boots rather than clamping and mastic-sealing. After 25+ years, those connections pull apart inside wall cavities, creating dark gaps that trap lint and moisture. The camera finds what the visible register doesn’t show.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta
Every 12-18 months for shared-stack buildings, compared to every 2-3 years for detached single-family homes with short, straight vent runs. The shared stack concentrates lint from multiple units, and Alpharetta’s humidity causes that lint to compact faster than in drier climates. If your building has four or more units on one stack, annual inspection is the safer interval. Call (678) 904-9744 to schedule - estimates are free.
Yes. We use portable Nikro extraction units that maintain NADCA-standard negative pressure without truck access. In Alpharetta complexes along Windward Parkway and Haynes Bridge Road, where visitor parking is limited and service elevators require scheduling, we coordinate with building management and carry equipment to the unit. The photo record and written scope are identical to what you’d receive with truck-mounted service. Call (678) 904-9744 to discuss access for your specific building.
Alpharetta’s combination of high humidity, dense pollen loads, and aging flex-duct infrastructure creates faster lint accumulation and more airflow restriction than in cities with drier climates or newer housing stock. Summer dew points in the low-to-mid 70s°F cause lint to cling and compact rather than blow through. If your home was built in the 1990-2010 window with builder-grade flex duct, the problem is compounded by sagging and loose joints. A camera inspection will show whether the issue is cleanable lint or duct that needs rerouting. Call (678) 904-9744 for a free estimate.
Multiple units experiencing longer dry times, dryers shutting off on thermal overload, or a burning smell from any unit in the stack. In Alpharetta’s townhome clusters, we also see lint backup triggering humidity sensors in connected bathrooms or laundry closets. If one unit’s dryer vent cleaning doesn’t solve the problem, the blockage is likely upstream in the shared stack. We scope the full vertical run and coordinate with building management for access. Call (678) 904-9744 - we’ll inspect and quote in writing.
Yes. Our portable and truck-mounted equipment maintains negative pressure throughout the cleaning, we use mechanical agitation to dislodge lint rather than air-only blowing, and we verify airflow improvement with before-and-after measurements. The photo record documents every run. NADCA standards are our minimum, not our ceiling. Call (678) 904-9744 to review our specific protocols for your building type.
