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.

AfterNikro Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta: What to Know First
CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Marietta provides independent Nikro air duct cleaning for homeowners in Marietta and nearby areas, with written pricing delivered before any work begins and a documented photo record of every duct run. Most Nikro residential systems we service in Cobb County are completed in a single scheduled visit, with the full scope and price agreed in writing under Haven Standard Clause 1. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Nikro; we are an independent service provider that works on the equipment daily. If you own a Nikro air duct cleaning system or have Nikro components integrated into your HVAC and need professional cleaning, call us at (470) 516-9337 for a free estimate.
How Nikro Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Nikro HP20 and HP20G portable vacuums lose suction at the blower motor intake. In Marietta’s clay-heavy environment, fine red dust packs the motor cooling fins and reduces airflow by 30% or more within two years of regular use. We pull the housing, photograph the buildup, and clean or replace the blower assembly depending on what the camera shows. The camera doesn’t lie - and neither does the invoice.
- Nikro SL4000 and SL4000A series develop leaks at the filter bag collar seal. The collar gasket hardens faster in Georgia’s humidity than in drier climates, breaking the negative-pressure seal that makes the system work. We replace with a silicone-rated gasket that holds up to Marietta’s summer moisture, test the seal with a manometer, and document the reading in your job record.
- Nikro air scrubbers (APS-2000, APS-3000) show reduced CFM due to clogged HEPA pre-filters. Homeowners near the Marietta Square with older shade-tree coverage see this more often - pollen and organic debris load the pre-filter before the HEPA ever sees it. We log the pressure drop across each stage, replace what the numbers say needs replacing, and show you the differential.
- Nikro duct cleaning whip assemblies (standard on most Nikro truck-mount setups) fracture at the nylon bearing. The whip spins at 1,500+ RPM inside the duct run; when the bearing goes, the whip contacts the duct wall and can damage galvanized steel or flex-duct inner liners. We inspect the whip head with a borescope before every job and replace bearings at the first sign of play - not after failure.
- Nikro vacuum hose cuffs crack at the flex point on jobs in unconditioned attics. Marietta’s attic temperatures hit 140°F in July, and the PVC compound Nikro used in pre-2019 hoses becomes brittle. We carry replacement cuffs rated for continuous 180°F, swap them on-site if needed, and note the condition in your photo record so you see why.
Our Nikro Air Duct Cleaning Process
- 1
System survey and written scope. We inspect your Nikro equipment and the full duct system, identify the model series and any visible wear points, and deliver a written price before any panel comes off. Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 2
Photo documentation of every duct run. Our technician runs a camera scope through each supply and return line, records the condition, and shows you the images before work starts. You see what we see.
- 3
Negative-pressure extraction with Nikro-compatible or Rotobrush equipment. We match the tool to the duct material - rigid metal, flex duct, or ductboard - and to what your Nikro system specifications allow without voiding any remaining warranty on connected components.
- 4
Component inspection and replacement. Worn seals, cracked cuffs, or degraded whip bearings are replaced with OEM or quality aftermarket parts. We state which we’re using and why, in writing.
- 5
Post-clean verification and final photo record. We re-scope every run, measure static pressure recovery, and deliver your documented photo record showing before, during, and after. The 365-Day Done Right Promise attaches to the written scope.
- 6
Cleanup and job record delivery. No debris left behind. Your written price, photo record, and guarantee documents are delivered before we leave.

Why Marietta Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Marietta for Nikro Work
Tomas Reyes and our crew have been the ones homeowners near the Marietta Square call when the HVAC tech says the ducts are the problem. We know Nikro equipment because we work on it regularly - not just in manuals but in attics over East Cobb and crawl spaces off Canton Road where Georgia’s red clay dust is the real test. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems, so when your Nikro equipment is integrated with a mixed-brand HVAC setup, we don’t guess at compatibility. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job, not just stated in marketing copy. Since 2013, we’ve served over 52,000 homes with a documented photo record on every visit.
FAQs
No. As an independent Nikro service provider, we use warranty-safe practices on any Nikro components still under manufacturer coverage. We document exactly what was touched and with what parts, so you have a record if warranty questions arise later. Call (470) 516-9337 if you want us to review your warranty status before scheduling.
We replace Nikro equipment only when the cost of repair exceeds 60% of replacement or when parts are no longer available for your series. For most HP20 and SL4000 units under ten years old in Marietta, cleaning and seal replacement restores full function. We put both numbers in writing so you decide with facts.
We stock both. OEM Nikro seals and whip bearings are available for most current series; for discontinued lines or when lead time matters, we use quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed the original spec. We state which we’re using on your written scope, with the reason, before any work starts.
For residential Nikro systems in Marietta’s pollen-heavy climate, we recommend a full cleaning and seal inspection every 3 to 5 years. Homes near heavy tree cover or with pets may need more frequent filter service. We base our recommendation on what your photo record shows, not a calendar.
You receive a written scope with the flat price paid, a documented photo record of every duct run before and after, any pressure readings taken, a parts list with OEM or aftermarket notation, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. These are standard deliverables on every CleanRun job, not extras.
