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 Atlanta: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Abatement Technologies dryer vent cleaning in Atlanta, typically completed in 60 to 90 minutes with a written flat price agreed before any work begins. Most Abatement Technologies venting systems we see in Atlanta homes fall in the $249 to $349 range for a standard cleaning, with reroutes or bird guard installs running higher depending on access and material.
This page is for homeowners who bought an Abatement Technologies CAP600, CAP1200-UV, or HEPA-Care series unit between 2015 and 2022 and need the venting side of that system inspected, cleaned, or repaired. We are not affiliated with Abatement Technologies. We are an independent Abatement Technologies service provider. Call (470) 495-9370 for a free estimate with a written price delivered before work starts.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CAP600 series: plastic vent collar fatigue at the dryer junction. The CAP600 ships with a PVC vent collar that hardens in Atlanta’s attic heat cycles, typically cracking at the 4- to 5-year mark. We replace with a galvanized steel collar rated for the temperature swing, not another PVC cycle. The camera shows the crack pattern before we quote the repair.
- CAP1200-UV: lint bypass at the secondary lint screen housing. The CAP1200-UV’s dual-screen design traps fine particles at the second stage, but the gasket compresses over time and lint blows past into the duct run, the full length of venting between the dryer and exterior cap. We pull the housing, replace the gasket with a silicone-rated unit, and negative-pressure extract the bypassed lint.
- HEPA-Care series: undersized vent cap causing back-pressure alarms. Abatement Technologies spec’d a 4-inch vent cap on early HEPA-Care installs that chokes airflow when lint loads up, triggering the pressure differential sensor. We measure static pressure at the cap and upsize to a 6-inch louvered cap where the duct run supports it, or install an inline booster if the run length exceeds 25 feet.
- Shared symptom: UV bulb housing heat warping nearby flex duct. On CAP1200-UV units mounted in tight utility closets, the UV bulb housing runs hot enough to deform standard aluminum flex within 18 inches. We find this in Buckhead condos and Decatur bungalows where space is tight. Our fix is a 24-inch stainless flex transition with a heat shield, not a shorter run that just moves the problem.
- Bird guard collapse on all series in Atlanta’s pine-heavy zones. The stock wire mesh bird guards clog with pine straw in under a season in neighborhoods like Virginia-Highland and Morningside. We install a hinged-access Guardsman guard with 1/4-inch mesh that sheds debris and opens for cleaning without ladder work.
Our Abatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
- 1
Call and scope. You describe the unit model if you know it, the symptom, and the vent run length. We schedule a visit and confirm our technician’s name and arrival window.
- 2
On-site diagnostic with photo documentation. We remove the vent cap, insert a borescope, and photograph the duct run condition. The camera doesn’t negotiate. You see the image before we discuss work.
- 3
Written price under Haven Standard Clause 1. We deliver a flat price for the scope, with OEM and quality aftermarket options itemized if parts are needed. No work begins until you have the number in writing.
- 4
Cleaning and repair. We negative-pressure extract lint and debris, replace failed components, and verify airflow with an anemometer at the exterior cap. Abatement Technologies units have specific pressure tolerances; we test against the manufacturer spec sheet, not a generic “feels strong” standard.
- 5
Delivered photo record and 365-Day Done Right Promise. Before-and-after images of every duct run, plus the written scope and warranty, are provided as standard deliverables. If it’s not right, we make it right.

Why Atlanta Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Atlanta for Abatement Technologies Work
We’ve been running jobs across Atlanta since 2013, including plenty of older split-level homes near Cascade Heights where the flex duct runs long and the debris tells a clear story about how many filters got skipped. Tomas Reyes and our crew know Abatement Technologies units from the install side, not just the cleaning side - we understand the pressure tolerances, the common gasket failures, and which attic configurations in Atlanta’s humidity cook the plastic components faster than the spec sheet suggests.
Our equipment roster includes Abatement Technologies, Rotobrush, Nikro, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman - brands you can look up independently. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier venting systems, so multi-brand households get one crew that understands cross-manufacturer airflow interactions. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and every technician is background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
FAQs
No, independent cleaning does not void the warranty, provided the work does not damage components. We document our process with photos to prove no alteration of factory settings. Abatement Technologies warranties cover manufacturing defects, not maintenance neglect. Call (470) 495-9370 if you need help interpreting your warranty language.
OEM is required for warranty-related claims on the air handler itself; for vent collars, caps, and guards, we typically recommend quality aftermarket steel components that outlast the original PVC in Atlanta’s heat. We itemize both options in writing before you decide.
Our Documented Photo Record shows the full duct run before and after. The borescope image timestamp proves depth of reach. If a company won’t show you the inside of the duct, you’re buying noise, not work. Call (470) 495-9370 and we’ll show you sample documentation from a recent Atlanta job.
Every 12 to 18 months for standard residential use; every 8 to 12 months if you run multiple loads daily or have a long vent run with multiple elbows. Atlanta’s humidity makes lint cling more than in drier climates, so the “when it dries slower” rule usually hits earlier here.
Yes, if the failure mode is in our standard inventory. We carry CAP600 collars, CAP1200-UV gaskets, and common cap sizes on every truck. Custom reroutes or hard-to-source OEM parts may require a return visit, but you’ll know before we leave whether that’s the case.
