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 in Alpharetta typically runs $380-$720 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit and every customer receiving a written price before work begins. We’re the Air Duct Cleaning team that homeowners in Windward, Johns Creek overlay, and downtown Alpharetta call when they want documented proof of what was inside their ducts, not just a vacuum run and a handshake.
Our crews dispatch from the Atlanta office and carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Calls are answered by a live person, and we schedule around Alpharetta’s reality - large homes with long equipment runs, gated subdivisions, and the parking constraints that come with master-planned communities. You can reach us at (678) 904-9744.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Sandy Springs Is Alpharetta’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve served Alpharetta since adding it to our route schedule in our early years, and the pattern is consistent: the homes built here from 1988 to 2010 represent one of the densest concentrations of aging builder-grade flex duct in metro Atlanta. That local knowledge changes how we scope a job. A technician who treats Alpharetta like any other suburb misses the stapled boot connections, the undersupported long runs, and the twin-air-handler configurations that dominate subdivisions like Windward and Wills Park.
Our reviews from Alpharetta customers consistently cite the photo record as the deciding factor - the before-and-after images of every duct run, delivered as a standard job record, not an upsell. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job, not stated in marketing copy and forgotten. If the work is not right, we make it right.
Response time to Alpharetta is same-week for standard scheduling, with dispatch coordinated from our Atlanta office. We know the difference between a 4,000 sq ft two-story off Morris Road and a townhome cluster near North Point Mall - and we bring the right equipment configuration for each.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Alpharetta
Residential Duct Cleaning
Alpharetta’s residential stock is dominated by two-story suburban subdivisions built 1988-2010, the majority featuring multi-zone HVAC systems with two or more air handlers and unusually high linear footage of duct per job. A typical residential cleaning in Alpharetta covers 150-300 linear feet of flex duct, multiple return plenum chambers, and the register boots where our camera most often finds the real problems. We clean under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, agitate debris with mechanical brushes, and photograph every run before and after.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Alpharetta’s commercial corridor along Georgia 400 includes medical offices, tech workspaces, and retail with shared rooftop units and complex duct distribution. We clean commercial systems with the same documented photo record as residential jobs, scaled to the larger equipment and stricter occupancy schedules. Written scope and price are delivered before work starts, every time.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air from the air handler to your registers - the “positive pressure” side of the system. In Alpharetta’s large homes, supply runs are long, often 25-40 feet per room, and the original builder-grade flex was frequently installed with minimal support straps. Sagging creates low spots where debris and moisture collect. We scope every supply run, clean with mechanical agitation and negative-pressure extraction, and document the condition of the boot connections where Alpharetta’s stapled-original installations most often fail.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning - the “negative pressure” side that draws in household dust, pollen, and pet dander. In Alpharetta’s spring pollen season, return ducts load heavily with pine and oak particulate that bypasses standard 1-inch filters. We clean return trunks, return plenums, and the filter rack area, then photograph the results. Return duct cleaning is critical in Alpharetta homes with two air handlers, where each return system feeds a separate zone and must be addressed independently.
Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning in Alpharetta means every supply run, every return run, both plenums, the filter rack, and the accessible coil face - photographed before and after, with a written scope delivered upfront. For the typical 3,500 sq ft Alpharetta home with twin air handlers, this is the service that addresses the complete flex-duct cohort problem: aging material, loose joints, pollen loading, and summer moisture retention. Pricing for full system cleaning in Alpharetta runs $520-$720.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection service uses a self-leveling camera head fed through the duct run to record the interior condition in real time. In Alpharetta, this is often the first step that reveals stapled boot connections, disconnected runs inside wall cavities, or active growth that visible registers conceal. The video file is included in your job record. Standalone video inspection in Alpharetta is $180-$240; it is included at no additional charge when bundled with a full cleaning.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Alpharetta
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush mechanical agitation systems, Nikro negative-pressure extractors, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration units - brands that publish specifications customers can verify independently. We stock common replacement components for Alpharetta’s most prevalent HVAC configurations, including register boots, flex duct connectors, and mastic sealant, so minor repairs identified during cleaning don’t require a return visit. For components we don’t carry, our Atlanta office coordinates next-day parts runs for brands including Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Alpharetta Homes
- Stapled boot connections in Windward-era homes. Original flex duct at register boots was stapled rather than clamped and mastic-sealed. After 25+ years, those staples pull through or rust, leaving gaps inside wall cavities that vent conditioned air into unconditioned space and create dark, moist environments where mold establishes before it ever shows at the register.
- Undersupported long flex runs sagging at low points. Builders in Alpharetta’s 1988-2010 subdivisions installed flex duct with support straps spaced too far apart for the weight of the material plus accumulated debris. The resulting sags trap moisture and particulate, accelerating deterioration at the joint.
- Spring pollen overwhelming standard filtration. Alpharetta’s position on the Georgia Piedmont produces some of the highest recorded seasonal pollen counts in the United States. Standard 1-inch builder filters load completely during peak pine and oak season, allowing unfiltered air to bypass and deposit debris directly into ductwork every March through May.
- Summer dew point moisture in uncleaned flex duct. Alpharetta summer dew points routinely hit the low-to-mid 70s°F. In large homes with long duct runs, this moisture combines with organic debris inside uncleaned flex duct to create persistent conditions that support mold colonization - particularly in the sagging low points where airflow is weakest.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Alpharetta
Yes. Homes from Alpharetta’s 1990s building wave, particularly in Windward and similar master-planned communities, were built with builder-grade flex duct that is now 25-30 years old - the age range where Georgia humidity causes sagging, tearing at boot connections, and mold incubation. A standard cleaning addresses debris; these homes often need boot reconnection and sealing as well, which we scope with video inspection and quote as a separate line item before proceeding. Call (678) 904-9744 and we’ll put the scope in writing.
The visible register is the last six inches of a 25-40 foot run, and in Alpharetta’s 1990s homes the real problem is often inside the wall cavity where the boot connection has pulled apart. Conditioned air leaks into unconditioned space, creating a dark, moist gap that supports mold growth - completely hidden from view. Our camera inspection finds these disconnections; the photo record shows you exactly where the smell originates. Estimates are free; call (678) 904-9744.
Yes. Most Alpharetta homes built 1988-2010 have two air handlers serving separate zones, which means two complete supply systems and two complete return systems - four plenums total, not two. Our full system cleaning addresses all four, photographed independently, with a written scope that names each zone and its linear footage. We do not quote “per air handler” without specifying what that includes.
We coordinate with building management for loading dock or service entrance access, and our Nikro extractors and Rotobrush units break down for transport through standard doorways and elevators. For Alpharetta’s condo clusters near North Point Mall and along Haynes Bridge Road, we schedule during building-designated maintenance windows and carry the H.A.V.E.N. Standard documentation that most property managers require for vendor approval. Call (678) 904-9744 and we’ll walk through the building’s specific access protocol.
Yes, with building management authorization and access to the rooftop or mechanical room. Shared dryer vent stacks in Alpharetta’s multi-family buildings require specialized rotary brushing from the exterior termination point, with negative-pressure debris collection to prevent lint discharge onto balconies or into common areas. We document the cleaning with video of the stack interior and provide the record to the building’s management company. This is priced per stack, not per unit, and requires a site visit for written scope.
