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 Mableton
Air duct cleaning in Mableton typically runs $380-$720 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit and a written price delivered before any panel comes off. CleanRun crews serve Mableton from our Atlanta scheduling office, and we’ve worked the crawl spaces of the ranch homes off Veterans Memorial Highway, the split-levels near South Cobb Drive, and the newer townhomes closer to the Silver Comet Trail. Call (470) 495-9370 for a free estimate with a written scope.
Most Mableton homes were built during Cobb County’s 1960s-1980s tract-house push, so their original duct board and early flex runs are now 40-60 years old and were often never sealed - something you won’t find in Smyrna’s or Acworth’s newer subdivisions. Because those runs sit in unconditioned crawl spaces over damp red clay, we find more internally moldy duct board and ground-moisture condensation here than in metro Atlanta’s newer-construction suburbs. That age and exposure changes what cleaning means in Mableton. It isn’t always a matter of vacuuming out dust. Often it’s finding where the system has failed structurally and fixing it so the cleaning lasts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Atlanta Is Mableton’s Preferred Air Duct 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. Mableton homeowners know us for showing up with background-checked, uniformed technicians who identify themselves by name before entering - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
Our Air Duct Cleaning team doesn’t quote over the phone with a low teaser and then rewrite the invoice in your driveway. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price delivered before any work starts, every time. No exceptions. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate from another company. Bring their quote; we put our number next to it in writing.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in Mableton. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. It’s in writing on every invoice, not just stated in marketing copy. And every duct run is photographed before and after, so you can see the difference between actual source removal and vacuum noise. We’ve held that practice since our first job in 2013.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Mableton
Residential Duct Cleaning
Mableton’s residential core is dominated by 1960s-1980s ranch and split-level homes built during Cobb County’s postwar suburban push west of Atlanta. Those original fiberglass duct board or early flex-duct systems are now 40-60 years old and have often never been cleaned. We use negative-pressure extraction (a large vacuum mounted to your duct system that pulls debris toward the machine, rather than pushing it into your home) combined with agitation tools from Rotobrush and Nikro to dislodge buildup. On a typical Mableton ranch, we’ll photograph every supply and return run before we start and after we finish. The photo record is included as a standard deliverable.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
The commercial strip along Veterans Memorial Highway and the professional buildings near South Cobb Drive see their own patterns. Rooftop units with flex-duct drops, shared return plenums (the large box that connects to your air handler and distributes air to the duct runs), and decades of tenant turnover leave debris that standard filter changes never touch. We quote commercial systems by the square foot and the number of air handlers, with the same written-price requirement and photo documentation.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Mableton’s older homes, these runs often sag or disconnect where flex duct meets the trunk line, especially in crawl spaces over red clay. Our supply duct service includes inspection of every collar and joint we can access. If we find a disconnection, we document it, reattach it with mechanical fasteners and mastic sealant, and photograph the repair. Cleaning a disconnected supply run is pointless - the air handler is blowing into your subfloor cavity, not your bedroom.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the system. In Mableton’s 1970s split-levels, return plenums are often duct board boxes in the crawl space that have absorbed decades of humidity. We inspect the interior facing with a borescope camera. If the duct board is stained or moldy beyond what cleaning can restore, we tell you before we proceed. Sometimes sealing with a fiber-reinforced coating is enough. Sometimes the plenum needs replacement. Either way, you get a written price before we move forward.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Mableton means every supply run, every return run, the plenum, the registers (the visible grilles in your rooms), and the air handler cabinet. We run HEPA filtration during the entire process. On older systems, we often find that the real problem isn’t debris - it’s leakage. A full system clean without sealing is temporary. We include accessible joint sealing as part of our standard scope when we find leaks, because Haven Standard Clause 1 pricing means we agreed to a result, not just a visit.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection service uses a borescope camera to show you the inside of your ductwork before you commit to cleaning. In Mableton, this is where we most often find the disconnections, collapsed flex, and mold-stained duct board that homeowners didn’t know existed. The video is yours to keep. Many Mableton customers schedule this first, then use the footage to decide whether cleaning, sealing, or replacement makes sense.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Mableton
CleanRun crews carry professional-grade equipment from Nikro, Honeywell, and Abatement Technologies - brands you can look up independently before agreeing to a price. Our negative-pressure machines, HEPA filtration units, and agitation tools are maintained to manufacturer specification, not jury-rigged. We don’t send a shop vac and a brush. For Mableton homeowners with Aprilaire or Honeywell whole-house air cleaners integrated into their duct systems, we clean and inspect those components as part of a full system service, and we stock common replacement media locally so you’re not waiting on a shipped part.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Mableton Homes
- Crawl-space flex duct collapsed or disconnected at the trunk-line collar. The air handler dumps conditioned air into the subfloor cavity and pulls Georgia red-clay dust and mold spores up into living space instead of into the registers. Homeowners notice weak airflow and musty smells. We find this on Veterans Memorial Highway ranches and South Cobb Drive split-levels regularly.
- 40-60-year-old duct board with interior mold staining that won’t clean back to bare board. Decades of Georgia humidity and pollen have degraded the facing. A wipe-down or vacuum pass leaves the staining. We recommend sealing with a fiber-reinforced coating or replacement, and we show you the camera footage so you can decide.
- Leaky seams and joints at the air handler re-seeding the system with oak and pine pollen every spring. Mableton sits in one of the nation’s worst metro areas for airborne pollen. A clean without sealing reverts to the same dirty ducts within a season or two. We mastic-seal accessible joints as part of our standard scope when we find them.
- Ground moisture from red-clay crawl spaces condensing inside uninsulated duct runs. This creates the perfect environment for mold growth inside duct board and on flex-duct liner. We see it most in homes without vapor barriers or with failed crawl-space encapsulation.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Mableton
Original duct board and flex-duct systems from that era are now 40-60 years old, were often never sealed at installation, and sit in unconditioned crawl spaces over damp red clay. Newer suburbs like Smyrna’s Vinings area or Acworth’s subdivisions have tighter duct systems, better vapor barriers, and more recent construction standards. In Mableton, decades of pollen accumulation, humidity-driven mold, and ground-moisture intrusion mean the cleaning need is more acute - and the fix often requires sealing or reconnection, not just debris removal. Call (470) 495-9370 for a video inspection and written scope.
Disconnected flex at trunk-line collars, collapsed runs where sagging duct has pulled free of supports, and mold-stained duct board facing. On a split-level off Veterans Memorial Highway, our tech camera-inspected a 1970s duct board trunk and found a crawl-space flex run disconnected at the trunk-line collar - the system had been blowing conditioned air straight into the subfloor cavity for who knows how long. We ran HEPA filtration under negative pressure, source-removed the red-clay dust and mold-loaded debris with agitation tools, then reconnected and mastic-sealed the collar and every accessible joint we’d found leaking. The homeowner’s supply registers finally moved air with real static pressure again, and her complaint about a musty smell in the back bedroom stopped. Call (470) 495-9370 to schedule your own inspection.
It depends on what the camera shows. If the smell comes from debris buildup in a connected system, source removal under negative pressure usually solves it. If the duct board facing is actively moldy and degraded, cleaning won’t restore it - sealing or replacement is the honest recommendation. We show you the footage and give you a written price for each option before proceeding. Call (470) 495-9370 for an inspection.
Atlanta metro consistently ranks top-5 nationally for airborne pollen, and Mableton’s oak, pine, and sweet-gum canopy produces extreme loads each spring. If your ducts are leaky at seams or joints, that pollen re-enters the system continuously. A sealed, clean system in Mableton typically stays clean for 3-5 years. An unsealed system in a pollen-heavy area may need attention every 1-2 years. We include joint sealing in our standard scope when we find leaks, because cleaning without sealing is temporary here. Call (470) 495-9370 for a current-condition assessment.
We photograph every supply and return register, then remove and clean them. We access the plenum and air handler cabinet, mount a negative-pressure extraction machine, and agitate debris from each duct run with powered brushes or whipping tools. We inspect every accessible joint with a borescope, reattach and seal any disconnections we find, and run HEPA filtration throughout. The job concludes with a second photo set showing the cleaned runs and any repairs made. The full photo record is delivered to you as a standard deliverable. Typical duration: 4-6 hours for a 3-bedroom ranch. Call (470) 495-9370 for a written price on your specific system.
