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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Mableton, GA
HVAC cleaning in Mableton typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-system job, with most homes in the 1960s-1980s ranch stock needing coil and blower attention alongside ductwork due to decades of pollen accumulation from Georgia’s oak-pine canopy. CleanRun crews find evaporator coils in Mableton packed with a half-inch of wet pollen paste by late May every year. Call (470) 495-9370 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any panel comes off.
Why Mableton Homes Are Different
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, meaning tens of thousands of households still have original fiberglass duct board or early flex-duct systems that are now 40-60 years old and have never been cleaned. These aging, poorly sealed systems sit squarely inside one of the nation’s worst metro areas for airborne pollen (Atlanta metro consistently ranks top-5 nationally), so ducts here accumulate pollen, humidity-driven mold, and red-clay dust at rates that make Mableton’s cleaning need more acute than in the newer-construction suburbs of neighboring Smyrna or Acworth.
The majority of homes here run ductwork through unconditioned crawl spaces directly over Georgia’s damp red clay. That configuration exposes flex and duct-board runs to ground moisture year-round. During Mableton’s long cooling season, often May through October, HVAC systems pull extreme pollen loads through leaky seams. Crawl-space flex duct partially collapses or disconnects at trunk-line connections more often than homeowners realize, pulling conditioned air and red-clay dust into the subfloor cavity instead of living spaces.
Our Main Mableton Services
Most calls from Mableton fall into three categories: duct cleaning, dryer vent work, and repair or sealing of failing systems.
Air Duct Cleaning in Mableton
We clean the full duct network in Mableton’s older homes, including the plenum (the main distribution box), each individual duct run, and every register. Crews photograph the interior of every run before and after, so you can see the difference between actual negative-pressure extraction and vacuum noise. Jobs here often reveal disconnected flex duct in crawl spaces that has been dumping conditioned air for years. Air Duct Cleaning in Mableton
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mableton
Dryer vents in Mableton’s ranch homes run long horizontal paths through crawl spaces or exterior walls, collecting lint in low spots where gravity traps it. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and document the before and after. Blocked vents here are a genuine fire hazard, especially in homes where the original galvanized venting has corroded at seams. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Mableton
Duct Repair & Sealing in Mableton
We replace collapsed flex duct, reattach disconnected trunk-line connections, and seal duct board seams with mastic in Mableton’s crawl spaces. Crews routinely find that “poor airflow” complaints trace back to duct runs that have pulled completely free of the plenum, dumping heated or cooled air under the house. Every repair includes a written scope and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Duct Repair & Sealing in Mableton

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Mableton
HVAC cleaning in Mableton means addressing the whole air-handling system, not just the ducts. The 1960s-1980s housing stock here was built before sealed crawl spaces became standard, so coils, blowers, and air handlers sit in environments that pull ground moisture and red-clay dust continuously. CleanRun’s HVAC Cleaning service photographs every component before and after, with a written price delivered before work starts under Haven Standard Clause 1.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on refrigerant lines, weak airflow from registers, or cooling that can’t keep up during July afternoons in Mableton’s humidity.
What it costs in Mableton
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$320 in Mableton.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum or service panel, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water capture, and photograph the full surface before reassembly.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room to room, or a blower wheel that visible debris has thrown out of balance.
What it costs in Mableton
Blower motor and wheel cleaning typically runs $150-$280 in Mableton.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel vanes and motor housing with compressed air and contact cleaner, balance the wheel, and reinstall with a photographed before-and-after record.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Mableton
| Item | Typical range in Mableton |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$320 |
| Blower cleaning | $150-$280 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil, blower, air handler) | $350-$650 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning, not just my ducts?
If your Mableton home cools poorly in July despite clean ducts, or you see ice on the refrigerant lines, the evaporator coil is likely clogged with pollen paste. A duct-only cleaning won’t fix that. Call (470) 495-9370 for a free inspection and written quote.
Can HVAC cleaning fix the musty smell when my AC first kicks on?
That first-blast odor usually comes from microbial growth on a wet coil or in a dirty blower housing, common in Mableton’s humid crawl spaces. Cleaning both components removes the source; sanitizing may be added if mold is present. Call (470) 495-9370 for a written scope.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Mableton
Air quality work in Mableton targets the mold, bacteria, and pollen accumulation that Georgia’s humidity and red-clay soil drive into 40-60-year-old duct systems. CleanRun’s Air Quality & Sanitizing service treats the source, not the symptom, with documented photo evidence of every treated surface.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible black or green growth at registers, a persistent earthy odor when the system runs, or recent water intrusion in a crawl space over red clay.
What it costs in Mableton
Mold treatment for a typical Mableton system runs $400-$750 depending on affected duct runs and whether the plenum requires access.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct network using a fogging system, treat the plenum interior, and deliver before-and-after photos of each treated run.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after professional cleaning, family members with allergy symptoms that spike when the HVAC runs, or a coil that requires annual cleaning due to rapid biological regrowth.
What it costs in Mableton
UV-C lamp installation in a Mableton air handler typically runs $350-$550 including the lamp, ballast, and mounting hardware.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C lamp downstream of the coil with a sight-glass for annual inspection, wire to a dedicated circuit, and show you the installation photos.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Mableton
| Item | Typical range in Mableton |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $400-$750 |
| UV light installation | $350-$550 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (add-on to cleaning) | $150-$250 |
Is mold in my ducts dangerous, or just unpleasant?
Most Mableton duct mold is allergenic, not toxic, but it aggravates asthma and allergies significantly in a city with already extreme pollen loads. The real risk is that mold indicates sustained moisture, which degrades duct board and flex. Call (470) 495-9370 for inspection and a written treatment scope.
Do UV lights actually work, or are they a gimmick?
A properly mounted UV-C lamp at the coil surface prevents the biological film that causes odors and efficiency loss, verified by manufacturers like Honeywell and Aprilaire. It does not clean existing debris; it prevents new growth on a clean coil. Call (470) 495-9370 to discuss whether your system is a candidate.
