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 Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Marietta
Dryer vent cleaning in Marietta typically costs $150-$280 for a standard single-family vent run, with most jobs completed in 90 minutes to two hours. We dispatch crews daily from our Atlanta office to Marietta, including the East Cobb corridor, West Cobb subdivisions, and the historic neighborhoods near the Marietta Square. Call (470) 495-9370 for a written price before any work starts - that’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and we don’t make exceptions.
We’ve been cleaning dryer vents in Marietta since 2013, and the pattern we see most often surprises homeowners: the vent looks fine from the laundry room, but the camera reveals a packed lint mat behind a knee wall or a vent cap choked with Georgia-pine debris. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team treats every Marietta job as a camera-inspection-first visit, not a generic brush-and-vacuum routine.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Atlanta Is Marietta’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
CleanRun is independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, led by Tomas Reyes, and we’ve served more than 52,000 homes since 2013. In Marietta specifically, our reputation rests on documentation: every vent run is photographed before and after, every price is written before a tool comes out of the truck, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Marietta homeowners research before they call, and they stay with us because the photo record shows what actually happened inside their wall chase.
Our crews know the local housing stock. The 1950s ranches near Whitlock Avenue have short, direct vent runs through slab foundations. The two-story colonials off Lower Roswell Road and Shallowford Road have the opposite problem: 30-foot equivalent lengths up wall chases and across 130°F attic cavities. We don’t guess. We scope first.
Response time to Marietta is typically next-day, sometimes same-day depending on route. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, and technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes requires it on every dispatch.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Marietta
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Marietta job starts here. We run a borescope camera through the full vent pathway - from the dryer transition duct to the exterior cap - and the homeowner sees the feed in real time. In East Cobb homes built 1990-2005, we regularly find sagging flex runs behind attic knee walls where summer heat has stiffened the liner. A homeowner on a two-story colonial off Lower Roswell Road in East Cobb called us because the dryer was taking two cycles to dry towels in a house built in the early 2000s. Our tech ran a camera inspection down the lint pathway and found the 4-inch flex run was sagging behind an attic knee wall where summer heat had stiffened the liner, with a lint mat packed at the first elbow and the outside vent cap flapper jammed by pine needles. We used agitation tools to break up the mat, pulled the debris into a HEPA filtration vacuum under negative pressure, replaced the Guardsman vent cap with an integrated bird guard, and the homeowner’s dry time dropped back to a single cycle.
Vent Cleaning
We clean with professional-grade equipment - Rotobrush agitation tools, Nikro HEPA vacuums, and Abatement Technologies negative-pressure systems - matched to what the inspection finds. For Marietta’s long attic runs, we often need to access the vent at multiple points, breaking up packed lint with mechanical agitation rather than air pressure alone, which can compact debris further. The photo record documents every section. You get the images as a standard deliverable, not an upsell.
Lint Removal
Lint in Marietta vents rarely sits loose and fluffy. The humid subtropical climate packs it dense, especially at elbows and low spots in sagging flex runs. We extract it under controlled negative pressure so nothing escapes into your laundry room or attic. In new-construction homes in East Cobb and West Cobb, we also find builder drywall dust and framing debris that got pulled through the vent before the first load of laundry - a handover problem the builder should have addressed but almost never does.
Vent Rerouting
Some Marietta homes have vent runs that exceed the dryer manufacturer’s 25-foot equivalent-length limit, especially two-story plans with wall chases and attic transitions. When the inspection shows this, we quote a reroute with a written price before any demolition. Rerouting in Marietta typically runs $400-$650 depending on access and materials, and it often pays for itself in reduced dry time and extended dryer life.
Bird Guard Installation
East Cobb’s mature tree canopy brings birds, squirrels, and nesting material into uncovered vent caps. We install Guardsman integrated bird guards with proper flapper clearance, verified with a smoke pencil to confirm exhaust flow. It’s a small detail that prevents a blocked vent and a potential fire hazard.
Vent Cap Replacement
Original builder caps on 1990s-2000s Marietta homes often have flappers that stick, screens that clog, or hoods that trap lint. We stock replacement caps and verify proper termination height and clearance to operable windows per IRC guidelines.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Marietta
Our equipment roster includes Nikro HEPA vacuums, Honeywell airflow verification tools, and Guardsman vent caps - brands you can look up independently before agreeing to a price. We don’t use equipment we can’t name. For Marietta customers, this means parts and replacement caps are stocked on our trucks, not ordered from a warehouse two days out. If your vent cap fails during a cleaning visit, we replace it then, not on a return trip.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Marietta Homes
- New-construction handover debris: Builder drywall dust and framing debris get pulled through a dryer vent that the builder never independently cleaned, so the lint pathway is already partially loaded before the first load of laundry. We see this regularly in East Cobb and West Cobb subdivisions built 2018-2024.
- Long, convoluted vent runs: 1990s-2000s two-story Marietta plans often route the vent up a wall chase, across an unconditioned attic - exceeding the dryer manufacturer’s 25-foot equivalent-length limit and collecting lint at elbows and low spots the homeowner can never see without a camera.
- Heat-damaged flex liner: Georgia-pine and oak pollen plus humid subtropical summers push attic temps past 130°F in cathedral-ceiling and knee-wall cavities, cooking the original builder-grade flex liner until it cracks and sheds fibrous particulate that mixes with lint in the vent run.
- Blocked exterior caps: Marietta’s heavy hardwood and Georgia-pine canopy generates debris that jams flappers and nests in uncapped terminations, especially on homes with roof-line or soffit vents positioned under mature oak canopies.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marietta
Yes, and often more urgently than an older home. New-construction homes in East Cobb and West Cobb frequently have drywall dust, framing debris, and even fast-food wrappers pulled into the vent during construction, compounding with first-year lint in a pathway the builder never independently cleaned. Call (470) 495-9370 for a camera inspection - we’ll show you what’s in there before quoting a price.
The most common cause we find in East Cobb is a lint mat packed at an elbow in a long attic run, combined with a stiffened flex liner that no longer maintains its 4-inch diameter. The restricted airflow can’t carry moisture out efficiently. A camera inspection locates the exact restriction. Most cleanings restore single-cycle dry times.
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning addresses the exhaust pathway from your dryer to the exterior cap; air duct cleaning addresses the supply and return ducts of your HVAC system. They use different equipment, different access points, and different safety protocols. We perform both, but we quote them as separate scopes with separate written prices.
They do. The sustained heat cycling in Georgia summer attics degrades the Mylar liner in builder-grade flex duct, causing it to crack and shed particulate that mixes with lint and accelerates blockage. Rigid metal vent material resists this but was not commonly used in 1990s-2000s Marietta construction. We note liner condition in every photo record.
For most Marietta homes, every 12-18 months with normal use. Homes with long attic runs, heavy laundry volume, or new-construction debris may need annual cleaning. We date our photo records so you can track buildup over time and schedule based on evidence, not a calendar reminder. Call (470) 495-9370 to set a baseline inspection.
