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 Dallas
Air duct cleaning in Dallas typically runs $450-$850 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single scheduled day. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and our crews work Dallas neighborhoods from Lake Highlands to Oak Cliff to Garland every week. Calls route through our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and we dispatch to Dallas homes with the equipment to handle what this city’s attic-duct reality actually throws at us: separated flex duct buried under blown-in insulation, pollen-caked return plenums, and systems that have been cooking in 150°F attics since the Reagan administration. Call (469) 452-7766 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Plano Is Dallas’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve served the Dallas metro since 2013. That’s 52,000-plus homes, every one with a written price before a panel came off and a documented photo record when the crew left. Our Air Duct Cleaning team knows Dallas’s housing stock because we clean it daily: the 1960s slab ranches with original flex duct in Lake Highlands, the 1980s tracts in Garland where attic connections fail under thermal load, the post-2000 builds in Frisco and McKinney that shipped with construction debris still in the runs.
Tomas Reyes built this company on the Haven Standard, and Haven Standard Clause 1 is non-negotiable: written price delivered before any work begins. No “call for a quote.” No $79 coupon that balloons to $900 on the drive. We put our number next to any competitor’s written estimate, free. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right. Not a policy subject to manager approval. A written guarantee.
Dallas homeowners research before they call. We built our process for exactly that customer: documented evidence first, persuasion second.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Dallas
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Dallas homes are slab-on-grade, which means virtually all ductwork runs through the attic. That attic hits 140-160°F from May through September, and the thermal cycling cracks mastic, loosens tape, and separates flex duct from trunk lines. Our residential cleans start with a video inspection of the accessible runs, then source removal with negative-pressure extraction (a sealed vacuum system that pulls debris without releasing it into your home) and HEPA filtration. We photograph every run before and after. The photo record is yours, included standard.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Dallas’s commercial stock runs from 1950s low-rise offices near Stemmons Freeway to new medical builds in Uptown. Commercial systems vary widely, but the principle doesn’t: we inspect first, quote in writing, then clean with equipment matched to the duct gauge and contaminant type. Rotobrush and Nikro machines handle the range we see in Dallas commercial jobs, from light office dust to restaurant grease particulate that has migrated into the HVAC return.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Dallas, the supply side often leaks before it delivers: separated connections under attic insulation blow cooled air into 150°F dead space, and the rooms never get comfortable. We clean the supply runs with negative-pressure tools, but we also flag structural failures we find. Sometimes the real fix is resealing a trunk connection, not just vacuuming the line. We photograph both conditions and quote the repair separately, in writing, before touching it.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the handler, and in Dallas they pull something else: mountain cedar from December through January, elm and oak pollen in spring, ragweed in fall. The metro carries some of Texas’s highest annual pollen loads, and it deposits in the return plenum and filter rack. Return duct cleaning here isn’t cosmetic. It’s load reduction for a system that runs eight to ten months a year. We use Rotobrush contact cleaning on the return side where the debris layer is often thickest, with HEPA-contained extraction so nothing redistributes through the house.
Full System Cleaning
This is what most Dallas homes actually need. Supply and return runs, trunk lines, plenum, and registers, inspected and cleaned as one system. Full system cleaning runs $650-$850 in Dallas for a typical 2,000-3,000 square foot home with 10-14 registers. The price includes the video inspection, the documented photo record, and the written scope. If we find separated duct or failed connections, we quote repair separately. No scope expansion without written approval.
Video Inspection
We run camera on every job, but video inspection as a standalone service is available for Dallas homeowners who want to know the condition before committing to a full clean. The inspection runs $150-$250, applied to the cleaning price if you proceed within 30 days. In older Dallas neighborhoods - Lake Highlands, Oak Cliff, Garland, Mesquite - the camera regularly finds what the eye cannot: collapsed flex duct, separated trunk connections, rodent debris packed behind registers. We show you the footage. Then we quote what it takes to fix it.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Dallas
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush contact cleaning systems, Nikro negative-pressure machines, and Abatement Technologies HEPA containment - brands you can look up independently before you agree to a price. We don’t invent performance claims beyond manufacturer specifications. What we do claim is this: every Dallas job starts with a written scope, every duct run is photographed, and the equipment is matched to what we actually find in your attic. Guardsman protective products are used where appropriate to prevent cross-contamination during the clean. Parts and materials are stocked for common Dallas system configurations, so repairs quoted during inspection can often be completed same visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Dallas Homes
- Original flex duct separated at trunk lines beneath blown-in insulation. In 1970s and 1980s slab homes from Garland to Mesquite to Lake Highlands, the flex duct looks intact from the access hatch but has fully detached, venting conditioned air straight into a 150°F attic. The camera finds it. The photo record proves it. The repair is quoted separately, in writing.
- Thermal cycling from “blue norther” cold fronts cracks mastic and tape on attic joints. Dallas weather swings from 80°F to 35°F in hours during winter frontal passages. That repeated expansion and contraction pops sealed joints, so supply and return ducts leak superheated attic air, insulation fibers, and rodent debris into living spaces.
- Post-2000 construction debris in new duct runs. Frisco, McKinney, and Allen homes built during the rapid suburban build-out often retain drywall dust, insulation scraps, and sawdust in the ductwork from original construction. The systems are “new” but not clean, and years of mountain cedar, elm, and ragweed pollen load the return side on top of it.
- Pollen and allergen accumulation in return plenums. Dallas’s pollen calendar runs nearly year-round. Mountain cedar peaks December-January, oak and elm March-April, ragweed August-October. The return side pulls all of it through the system, and without regular cleaning, the plenum becomes a reservoir that redistributes with every cycle.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Dallas
Dallas’s slab-on-grade construction puts all ductwork in the attic, where 140-160°F summer heat degrades flex duct and pops connections - so the job often includes finding and quoting structural repairs that basement-duct cities simply don’t face. Chicago or Denver technicians don’t pull decades of blown-in insulation off separated trunk lines. We do, regularly, in Lake Highlands and Garland. The cleaning itself takes longer when the runs are compromised. Call (469) 452-7766 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes, and we include it standard on every full-system job. In 1970s Garland slab homes, original flex duct beneath blown-in insulation has often collapsed or fully separated from the trunk line, venting conditioned air into the attic for years. The camera shows what the access hatch hides. We won’t clean a broken duct without flagging it, photographing it, and quoting the repair in writing. The inspection is $150-$250 standalone, applied to your cleaning if you proceed within 30 days.
Yes. Dallas carries some of Texas’s highest annual pollen concentrations, with mountain cedar December-January, elm and oak March-April, and ragweed August-October. Return ducts pull this load through the system continuously, and the plenum becomes a reservoir that redistributes allergens with every HVAC cycle. Homes with occupants sensitive to cedar fever or seasonal allergies see measurable relief after return-side source removal with HEPA-contained extraction. Call (469) 452-7766 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Every four to six years for typical Dallas homes, and every three to four years if you have pets, allergy-sensitive occupants, or a system that runs year-round. Dallas HVAC equipment operates eight to ten months annually under heavy thermal load, and the attic-duct environment accelerates both contamination accumulation and structural wear. The 1978 Lake Highlands job we referenced? That homeowner’s system had never been inspected in 45 years. The separated duct was found during a routine cleaning call. Call (469) 452-7766 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
We clean ductwork from all major HVAC manufacturers, and our equipment roster includes Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman - brands you can verify independently before agreeing to a price. The brand of your furnace or air handler matters less than the condition of the duct connected to it. We photograph every run, name every tool we use, and put the scope in writing. Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions.
