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 Marietta, GA
HVAC cleaning in Marietta typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-system service, with most East Cobb and historic-district jobs falling in the middle of that range. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to Marietta from our Atlanta office to handle the specific problems this city’s housing stock and climate create: aging flex-duct systems, heavy pollen loads from oak and Georgia-pine canopy, and the mold pressure that comes with five straight months of air conditioning. Every job starts with a written price before work begins and ends with a documented photo record of every duct run. Call (470) 495-9370 for a free estimate.
Why Marietta Homes Are Different
Marietta’s housing splits into two distinct populations. Near the historic downtown square, 1950s-1970s ranch and split-level homes sit on mature lots with original galvanized or early flex-duct systems now well past service life. In East Cobb, the late-1980s through early-2000s two-story colonials and craftsman homes carry multi-zone forced-air systems with long flex-duct runs through unconditioned attics - runs that have spent 20-40 years cycling through 130°F summer attic heat.
That heat cycling cracks the inner Mylar liner, shedding fibrous particulate into the airstream. Homeowners rarely suspect it until a camera inspection reveals the damage. Layered on top is Marietta’s dense hardwood and Georgia-pine canopy, which generates pollen loads that clog ducts faster than in newer, more open suburbs. The humid subtropical climate means AC runs nearly continuously from May through September, pulling that pollen-laden air through compromised ductwork while creating condensation points for mold colonization anywhere a seal has failed.
Our Main Marietta Services
Most Marietta homeowners who call us start with one of these three services:
Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta
We clean the full supply and return network in Marietta homes, from the plenum (the central distribution box) through every duct run to each register. In East Cobb’s aging flex-duct systems, we regularly find cracked Mylar liners and debris build-up at elbow joints that standard vacuum passes miss. Every run is photographed before and after, with the photo record delivered as a standard job document. Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta is quoted with a written price before work starts, per Haven Standard Clause 1.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marietta
Dryer vent cleaning in Marietta addresses the lint accumulation that restricts airflow and creates fire risk, particularly in homes where the vent run exceeds 15 feet through attic or crawl space routing. We use negative-pressure extraction and rotary brushing to clear the full line, then verify flow rate with a meter. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marietta includes a written scope and photo documentation of the vent interior.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Marietta
Duct repair and sealing in Marietta targets the cracked flex-duct, disconnected joints, and failed mastic seals that leak conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces. In East Cobb homes with cathedral-ceiling cavities, we often find original ductwork has separated at the plenum connection. Duct Repair & Sealing in Marietta is quoted as a flat price per system, with repair scope documented in writing before work begins.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Marietta
HVAC cleaning in Marietta addresses the evaporator coils, blowers, condensers, and air handlers that move air through systems running five months straight in this climate. East Cobb’s 1985-2005-era builds often have coils caked with pollen and mold that standard filter changes never reach, while historic-district systems may carry decades of accumulated debris on blower fins. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes full photo documentation and is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, reduced airflow from registers, or AC running continuously without reaching set temperature in Marietta’s July humidity.
What it costs in Marietta
Evaporator coil cleaning in Marietta typically ranges from $180 to $320, depending on accessibility and contamination level.
How we do it
We access the coil through the air handler, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and capture all runoff with a wet/dry vacuum to protect the drain pan.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven airflow room-to-room, or dust puffing from registers when the system cycles on.
What it costs in Marietta
Blower cleaning in Marietta typically ranges from $150 to $280, with variable-speed blower assemblies at the higher end.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean each fin and the motor housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and reinstall with fresh seals.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Marietta
| Item | Typical range in Marietta |
|---|---|
| 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 versus just my ducts?
If your ducts are clean but rooms still won’t cool evenly, or the AC runs constantly in July, the problem is likely at the coil or blower, not the ductwork. A camera inspection of the coil surface confirms it. Call (470) 495-9370 and we’ll show you what we find before quoting any work.
Can HVAC cleaning fix mold smells in my East Cobb home?
Yes, if the odor originates from the coil, drain pan, or blower housing where organic growth accumulates in Marietta’s humidity. We photograph the contamination before cleaning so you can verify the source. For duct-borne mold, our Air Quality & Sanitizing service addresses that separately.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Marietta
Air quality and sanitizing in Marietta targets the mold, bacteria, and persistent odors that thrive in this climate’s five-month cooling season, especially in East Cobb homes with aging flex-duct and cathedral-ceiling cavities where condensation collects. Original ductwork in these 1990s builds often harbors colonization homeowners never see until a camera inspection reveals it. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun includes lab-identified treatment protocols and full photo documentation of affected areas before and after.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when AC cycles on, visible discoloration around registers, or family members with unexplained respiratory symptoms that worsen at home.
What it costs in Marietta
Mold treatment in Marietta typically ranges from $400 to $850 for a whole-system application, depending on extent and accessibility.
How we do it
We identify active growth with borescope inspection, apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct network using negative-pressure extraction, and verify clearance with post-treatment photography.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after cleaning, chronic mustiness in humid months, or desire for continuous surface sanitation at the coil and drain pan.
What it costs in Marietta
UV light installation in Marietta typically ranges from $350 to $600 per fixture, including mounting and electrical connection.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV-C fixture at the coil or air handler, wire to the blower circuit for synchronized operation, and verify irradiance with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Marietta
| Item | Typical range in Marietta |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (whole system) | $400 - $850 |
| UV light installation | $350 - $600 |
| Combined mold treatment + UV installation | $700 - $1,200 |
Is mold in my ducts dangerous or just unpleasant?
Active mold growth releases spores and mycotoxins that can trigger respiratory irritation, particularly in children and those with sensitivities; in Marietta’s humid climate, it rarely stays limited to “just unpleasant” without intervention. We identify the species and extent with camera inspection before recommending treatment. Call (470) 495-9370 for a free assessment.
Will UV lights actually prevent mold from coming back?
UV-C at the coil and drain pan prevents the surface colonization that starts most duct-borne mold in Marietta homes, but it does not address existing growth in the ductwork itself; we typically pair UV installation with initial mold treatment for complete protection. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers both.
Brands We Service in Marietta
We stock parts and service equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Rotobrush, and Nikro, with most common filters, UV bulbs, and antimicrobial treatments carried on every Marietta truck. Turnaround on ordered parts is typically two business days from our Atlanta office. See our brands for full equipment specifications.
