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.

AfterAbatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marietta: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Abatement Technologies dryer vent cleaning in Marietta with written prices delivered before any work starts, typically completed in a single visit. Most Abatement Technologies systems we see in Cobb County homes run between $189 and $340 for a full vent cleaning with documented photo record included. The camera doesn’t lie - and neither does the invoice.
This page is for Marietta homeowners who own an Abatement Technologies dryer vent system and want to know what failing looks like, what fixing costs, and who can do it without the coupon-runaround. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Abatement Technologies. We are an independent Abatement Technologies service provider. Call (470) 516-9337 for a free estimate with a written price.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CAP300 series vent caps seize in the open position. The CAP300’s plastic hinge assembly degrades faster than metal alternatives in Georgia’s UV cycle, especially on south-facing walls in East Cobb. We see these stuck open, inviting birds and wasps into the duct run. Our fix: replace with a metal-bodied cap or install a bird guard rated for the CAP300’s 4-inch collar. We photograph the stuck position before touching anything.
- PRED750 inline booster fans clog at the impeller. The PRED750 moves serious air for long vent runs common in Marietta’s 2015-2022 builds, but lint bypasses standard screens and packs onto the fan blades. The motor overheats, the thermal protector trips, and the dryer throws error codes that look like a dryer problem. We pull the fan, clean the impeller housing with a rotary brush, and test static pressure before and after.
- RVP series roof vents collapse under foot traffic. The RVP’s ABS plastic dome cracks when HVAC techs or roofers step near it, a regular occurrence in Marietta’s hilly neighborhoods with steep pitches. Water enters, lint mats, and the duct run corrodes from the top down. We replace with a galvanized roof jack or relocate to a wall termination if the roof pitch exceeds 8/12.
- Flex duct adapters on CAP200 caps separate at the hose clamp. The CAP200’s barbed adapter works with standard flex, but Marietta’s summer humidity swells the vinyl, loosening the clamp over 18-24 months. Lint blows into the soffit or attic. We find the separation with a borescope, reseat with a stainless worm-gear clamp, and seal with foil tape rated to 200°F.
- PRED500 systems in crawl spaces grow mold on the lint layer. The PRED500’s lower airflow velocity in humid crawl spaces - common in West Marietta’s older ranch homes - lets lint hold enough moisture to support Aspergillus growth. The musty smell enters the laundry room when the dryer runs. We clean with negative-pressure extraction, HEPA-filter the discharge, and recommend a vent cap with a backdraft damper that actually seals.
Our Abatement Technologies Dryer Vent Cleaning Process
- 1
Written price delivered on arrival. Haven Standard Clause 1: the scope and price are in writing before a panel comes off. For Abatement Technologies systems, we note the model series, vent length, and termination type on the same page you sign.
- 2
Borescope inspection with photo record. We run a camera from the dryer connection to the cap, documenting debris depth, cap condition, and any structural damage. You see what we see on the tablet before we proceed.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. Abatement Technologies OEM caps and fans are available through supply houses in Atlanta, but we also stock compatible metal caps and bird guards that meet or exceed OEM specs. We explain the trade-off - warranty preservation versus durability - and you choose before we order.
- 4
Negative-pressure cleaning with rotary brush. We connect a Nikro HEPA-filtered collector to the duct run and brush from both ends with a Rotobrush system sized to the duct diameter. For PRED750 jobs, we pull and clean the inline fan separately.
- 5
Static pressure test and airflow verification. We measure backpressure at the dryer connection with a manometer and compare to Abatement Technologies’s published specs for the model series. The numbers go on your job record.
- 6
Documented photo record delivered. Before-and-after images of every duct run, the cap or fan condition, and the pressure test result. Included standard, not extra. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies in writing.

FAQs
No. Abatement Technologies’s limited warranty covers manufacturing defects, not maintenance. Using an independent service provider for cleaning does not void it, though modifying the system with non-OEM parts can affect coverage on those specific components. We document every part we install and flag OEM-versus-aftermarket choices on your written scope so you have a record. Call (470) 516-9337 if you want us to review your warranty terms before scheduling.
Cleaning restores airflow when the duct structure is intact; replacement is needed when the duct is crushed, corroded, or improperly routed. We make that call with the borescope, not a guess. In Marietta’s clay-heavy soils, we see more ground-settled sagging in flex runs than in other markets, and we show you the video before recommending either path. Estimates are free.
Most Abatement Technologies caps and fans ship from Atlanta supply houses within 24-48 hours. We stock common failure items - CAP300 hinges, PRED750 impeller housings, universal bird guards - so same-visit completion is typical for cleaning jobs. If your system needs a rare RVP variant, we’ll tell you the lead time in writing before you commit. Call (470) 516-9337 to check current stock.
Longer runs, more elbows, and roof terminations all increase lint accumulation. Abatement Technologies’s PRED series handles longer runs better than standard gravity vents, but no system defeats physics. In Marietta’s newer subdivisions near Kennesaw Mountain, we see 35-foot runs with three elbows that need annual attention. We measure your static pressure and tell you the realistic interval, not a calendar guess.
Your job record includes timestamped before-and-after photos of every duct run, the cap or fan condition, and the manometer reading. We deliver these as standard, not upon request. If you want to verify independently, run the dryer on air-only cycle and feel the exhaust velocity at the cap - or call us back to re-scope at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (470) 516-9337 with any concern.
