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.

AfterAbatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sandy Springs: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Abatement Technologies dryer vent cleaning in Sandy Springs, with most jobs completed in one visit and a written price delivered before any work begins. A standard Abatement Technologies residential dryer vent cleaning runs $189-$349 depending on run length, access, and whether the vent terminates through the roof or an exterior wall. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Abatement Technologies; we are an independent service provider that works on their equipment daily in Sandy Springs homes, including the older ranch properties along Spalding Drive where vent runs can exceed 25 feet through unfinished crawl spaces.
This page is for Sandy Springs homeowners who own Abatement Technologies dryers or Abatement Technologies-compatible venting systems and want a technician who names the actual part before unboxing it. Call (678) 904-9744 for a written estimate with no obligation.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- P6 and P8 Series vent boosters seize from lint infiltration. These inline exhaust fans are common in Sandy Springs townhomes where the dryer sits in an interior closet and the vent run exceeds 35 feet. The motor bearings draw lint past the impeller seal, and after 18-24 months the unit either stalls or runs hot enough to trip the thermal cutoff. We pull the booster, photograph the impeller coating, and replace with an OEM Abatement Technologies P6-R or P8-R rebuild kit if the housing is still square. If the housing has warped from heat cycling, we quote a quality aftermarket replacement from Nikro with a stainless impeller - same CFM rating, longer bearing life.
- CAP6 and CAP8 exterior caps lose their damper tension. The plastic hinge pin on these caps fatigues in Georgia’s UV cycle, especially on south-facing walls in Sandy Springs neighborhoods like Riverside and Dunwoody Panhandle. The damper hangs open, letting in rain, pollen, and the occasional squirrel. We document the gap with a camera, then install a CAP6-HD or CAP8-HD replacement with a metal hinge pin and stainless spring - or switch to a Guardsman all-metal cap if the siding has been reconfigured and the original footprint no longer seals.
- Flexible transition ducts collapse behind stacked units. Abatement Technologies ships a 4-inch semi-rigid transition with most residential dryers, but in Sandy Springs condos where the washer and dryer are stacked in a hall closet, the transition gets crushed against the wall during installation or maintenance. The dryer still heats but airflow drops by 40-60 percent, extending dry times and pushing lint into the main run. We replace with a slim-profile aluminum elbow and a measured length of UL-listed rigid duct, photographed before and after.
- Long horizontal runs in slab-on-grade homes sag at joints. Sandy Springs has hundreds of 1960s-1980s ranch homes with dryer vents running through the crawl space, often using Abatement Technologies rigid duct with snap-lock seams. Over decades, the support straps corrode or the ground settles, and the low point collects lint and condensate. Our camera shows the water line on the duct wall. We cut out the affected section, pitch it properly toward the termination, and seal with mastic - not foil tape, which fails in crawl-space humidity within two years.
- Bird guard mesh clogs with dryer sheet residue. Abatement Technologies’ BG-4 bird guard fits their CAP series caps, but the 1/4-inch mesh traps lint that has been coated with fabric softener oils. In Sandy Springs, where pine pollen adds a second layer of blockage each spring, we’ve found BG-4 units completely occluded after a single heavy season. We clean the mesh with a rotary brush and solvent, or replace with a BG-4-S stainless mesh if the homeowner uses dryer sheets regularly - the stainless weave releases residue better than the original galvanized.
Our Abatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
- 1
Inspection with photo documentation. We feed a borescope through the vent run from both ends - dryer connection and exterior termination - and save the images to your job record. Tomas Reyes started this practice after his first year in the trade; the photo comes first, the invoice comes second.
- 2
Written scope and price. We identify the Abatement Technologies components in your system, note any parts that need replacement, and deliver a single flat price for the complete job. Haven Standard Clause 1: no work begins without a written price agreed in advance.
- 3
Negative-pressure extraction and rotary brushing. We connect a Nikro HEPA vacuum to the duct and run a Rotobrush through the full length, dislodging lint from the Abatement Technologies rigid duct walls or flex sections. The vacuum captures debris at the source; nothing blows into your laundry room.
- 4
Component replacement with verified parts. Any Abatement Technologies booster, cap, or guard that fails inspection is replaced with OEM or documented-equivalent parts. We keep the old part and the packaging for your review.
- 5
Airflow verification and final photo set. We measure exhaust velocity at the termination with an anemometer and compare to the Abatement Technologies specification for your model. Then we photograph the clean duct interior and the exterior cap in operation. These images join your before photos in the documented photo record.
- 6
Written guarantee delivery. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed and signed before we leave. If airflow drops or any replaced component fails within a year, we return and make it right.

We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier venting systems, which matters in Sandy Springs homes where the dryer vent was installed by the builder and the HVAC contractor used a different brand entirely. One crew, documented results, no cross-vendor finger-pointing.
FAQs
No. Routine maintenance including vent cleaning does not void the Abatement Technologies product warranty, provided the work is performed by a qualified technician and no components are altered outside manufacturer specifications. We document every step with photos to protect your warranty record. Call (678) 904-9744 if you need a copy of our scope for your files.
We stock common Abatement Technologies OEM parts including P6-R and P8-R rebuild kits, CAP6-HD and CAP8-HD caps, and BG-4-S stainless guards. When OEM lead times exceed five business days - occasionally true for discontinued P4 series components - we source documented-equivalent aftermarket parts from Nikro or Guardsman with matching pressure and temperature ratings. We show you both options in writing before ordering.
We photograph the interior of every duct run before and after, with timestamps. You receive these images as part of your documented photo record, standard on every visit since our first job in 2013. If the photo doesn’t show clean metal, the job isn’t done.
Restricted airflow is the cause in roughly 80 percent of extended dry-time cases we see in Sandy Springs. We measure exhaust velocity at the exterior cap; if it’s below 1,000 FPM on a standard Abatement Technologies residential unit, the vent is the problem. If velocity is adequate, we recommend a qualified appliance technician for dryer internal service. We do not guess - we measure, document, and show you the number.
Every 12-18 months for typical residential use, or annually if you run heavy loads, use fabric softener sheets, or have a booster fan in the line. Sandy Springs’ pollen season and high summer humidity accelerate lint compaction in long runs, especially in homes with crawl-space terminations. Call (678) 904-9744 and we’ll put you on a documented maintenance schedule with reminder calls - no subscription, no automatic billing.
