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 Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Alpharetta
Dryer vent cleaning in Alpharetta typically costs $150-$280 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in 60-90 minutes. We dispatch crews to Alpharetta from our Atlanta office, and scheduling is usually available within 3-5 business days. Call (470) 516-9337 for a written estimate before any work starts.
We’ve been working in Alpharetta since 2013, and the homes here keep us busy. The master-planned subdivisions along Windward Parkway, the neighborhoods tucked behind GA-400 near Mansell Road, and the wooded communities off Rucker Road all share something that matters for dryer vent work: laundry rooms placed on interior walls or second floors, with vent runs that snake through finished walls before reaching a soffit exit. That’s not a problem until it is. Lint doesn’t care about your floor plan. It accumulates at elbows and transitions, and in Alpharetta’s larger homes, those collection points are often ten or fifteen feet from the dryer itself, well past where a homeowner’s tools can reach.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning team serves Alpharetta with the same documented approach we use everywhere: written price before work starts, camera inspection to show you what’s inside the run, and a photo record delivered after. No coupons. No per-foot add-ons. Just a flat price per system, agreed in writing, with the evidence to back it up.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Marietta Is Alpharetta’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
We’ve completed dryer vent cleanings in hundreds of Alpharetta homes, from the original Windward estates to the newer infill near downtown Alpharetta. Our crews know the difference between a short through-wall vent in a 1980s ranch and the forty-foot interior runs common in the two-story homes off Morris Road. That local familiarity means we show up with the right equipment - extension agitation tools for long runs, soffit access gear for side-exit caps, and HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extractors for jobs where construction debris has packed the duct.
Alpharetta customers have left us detailed reviews mentioning specifically the photo documentation and the written pricing. They note that our technicians arrive in uniform, identified by name, and walk them through the camera findings before starting work. Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Background-checked, uniformed, named before arrival. No exceptions.
Response time to Alpharetta is typically same-week for non-urgent scheduling, with our Atlanta dispatch coordinating crew routes through the GA-400 corridor. We don’t manufacture urgency. Dryer vent cleaning is a scheduled maintenance job, and we treat it that way. What we do promise is punctuality, documentation, and accountability.
Our local knowledge extends to the specific failure modes of Alpharetta’s housing stock. We know which subdivisions used flex duct for dryer vents (a code-permitted but problematic choice), which builders routed vents through unconditioned attic space, and where the soffit caps are most likely to have been screened over by birds. That context changes how we approach the job - and what we find.
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Alpharetta
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every job we do in Alpharetta starts with a camera inspection of the full vent run, from the dryer’s transition duct to the exterior cap. In Alpharetta’s larger homes, that run can traverse two stories of finished wall, and the camera reveals what no flashlight can: lint packing at elbows, construction debris from the original build, or a cap blocked by nesting material. The inspection is included in our flat price, and the footage becomes part of your documented photo record. We show you the findings before we quote the scope. Haven Standard Clause 1: Written Price Before Any Work Starts.
Vent Cleaning and Lint Removal
Lint removal in Alpharetta requires more than a shop vac at the wall. The long interior runs in subdivisions like Windward and the homes near Webb Bridge Road accumulate packed lint that agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction are designed to dislodge. We use professional-grade equipment - Nikro HEPA vacuums and Rotobrush agitation systems - to pull debris from the full length of the duct. The job ends with a follow-up camera pass to confirm the run is clear. In the Windward community, we were called to a large two-story home where the dryer had been taking two cycles to finish a load; a camera inspection showed the lint pathway choked past the first bend in the run behind the wall. Our tech used agitation tools and negative pressure with HEPA filtration to pull the packed lint out and confirmed the clear run with a follow-up camera pass - the cycle time dropped back to normal.
Vent Rerouting
Some Alpharetta homes were built with dryer vent runs that violate current code or create unavoidable lint traps: too many elbows, excessive length, or termination in an enclosed soffit without proper clearance. We evaluate rerouting options where the existing path is beyond remediation. In the 1990s-era subdivisions clustered around the GA-400 exits, we’ve rerouted vents to shorter, straighter paths through exterior walls, reducing fire risk and improving dryer efficiency. Every reroute is quoted in writing before work begins, with photos of the proposed new route.
Bird Guard Installation and Vent Cap Replacement
Alpharetta’s wooded subdivisions - Windward, the neighborhoods off Rucker Road, the mature canopy areas near Wills Park - attract birds that screen over soffit vent caps with nesting material, blocking airflow and forcing lint back into the run. We install bird guards (also called pest guards) that allow exhaust airflow while preventing access. We also replace degraded plastic caps with metal equivalents rated for Georgia’s UV exposure and temperature cycling. Caps in unconditioned attic spaces in Alpharetta routinely see surface temperatures above 140°F in summer, which accelerates plastic degradation.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Alpharetta
Our equipment roster includes Nikro HEPA vacuums, Abatement Technologies negative-air machines, and Honeywell and Aprilaire air quality components. These are trade-recognized brands customers can verify independently. We stock common vent cap sizes and bird guard fittings for Alpharetta’s predominant housing stock, which means most replacements happen same-visit without a return trip. If your dryer is a premium brand - Miele, Bosch, Speed Queen - our technicians are trained on the specific transition duct requirements and venting specifications those units demand. We don’t guess. We document the manufacturer’s venting requirements and match our work to them.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Alpharetta Homes
- New-construction drywall dust and debris in the vent run. Homes built in Alpharetta’s ongoing development - the new construction near downtown, the infill off Windward Parkway - often have drywall dust and construction debris pulled into the dryer vent during the build process. Homeowners assume a new build is clean. The camera usually shows otherwise. We recommend a vent inspection before the one-year builder warranty expires.
- Long interior vent runs behind finished walls. Alpharetta’s master-planned subdivisions were built with laundry rooms pushed to interior walls or second floors, creating vent runs of 25-40 feet with multiple elbows. Lint accumulates at each transition, and the packed material is beyond the reach of any homeowner vacuum. This configuration is far more common in Alpharetta than in neighboring cities with older, simpler floor plans.
- Attic and soffit vent caps degraded or blocked by birds. In wooded subdivisions like Windward, birds screen over soffit caps with nesting material, or the caps themselves crack after years of UV exposure and thermal cycling. The blocked exhaust forces lint backward into the run and creates a measurable fire risk. We replace degraded caps and install bird guards rated for the application.
- Flex duct sagging in unconditioned attic space. In Alpharetta’s large two-story homes, flex duct runs laid across unconditioned attic space routinely see surface temperatures above 140-150°F in Georgia summers, which accelerates degradation of the inner liner and causes it to shed fibrous particles into the airstream. This failure mode surprises homeowners who assumed a 25-year-old home was still “new enough” to skip vent maintenance.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta, GA
A standard dryer vent cleaning in Alpharetta runs $150-$280 for a single-family home with one dryer and a typical vent configuration. Long interior runs requiring additional agitation time, bird guard installation, or vent cap replacement add $45-$125 depending on materials and access difficulty. Vent rerouting, when needed, is quoted individually based on the proposed route and wall construction.
What affects the price: length of the vent run, number of elbows and transitions, accessibility of the exterior cap, and whether the job requires cap replacement or pest guard installation. Two-story homes with soffit exits - the majority of Alpharetta’s housing stock - take longer than simple through-wall ground-floor vents.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpharetta
Yes. New construction in Alpharetta frequently has drywall dust, wood debris, and insulation fragments pulled into the dryer vent run during the build process. We inspect new builds regularly and find blocked transitions or packed elbows that the builder’s rough clean missed. The camera shows it clearly. Call (470) 516-9337 for an inspection - estimates are free, and we recommend scheduling before your one-year builder warranty expires so any ductwork issues can be documented.
Signs include clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, the dryer exterior getting unusually hot, or a musty smell in the laundry room. In Alpharetta’s two-story homes with interior wall runs, these symptoms often appear suddenly once lint packs past the first elbow - a point ten or fifteen feet from the dryer, unreachable with household tools. We confirm blockage with a camera inspection included in our flat price. Call (470) 516-9337 to schedule.
Alpharetta’s homes are larger, with longer vent runs and more elbows, which creates more lint collection points. The master-planned subdivisions here also have denser tree canopy, which means more pollen and organic debris drawn into soffit caps, and more bird activity screening over vents. A neighbor in an older Roswell ranch with a short through-wall vent has a fundamentally different system. Your home’s configuration, not your usage, is usually the driver.
Yes. Lint is highly combustible, and a blocked vent forces the dryer’s heat back into the appliance and the surrounding wall cavity. The U.S. Fire Administration reports thousands of dryer fires annually, with failure to clean as the leading factor. In Alpharetta’s long interior runs, the risk is compounded because lint can accumulate in sections of duct that homeowners cannot see or reach without professional equipment. We document the condition of your full run with camera evidence, clear it with agitation and negative-pressure extraction, and confirm the result with a follow-up inspection.
No. The lint trap is the homeowner’s responsibility and should be cleaned after every load. Our service covers the full vent run from the dryer’s transition duct to the exterior cap: camera inspection, agitation and HEPA-filtered extraction of lint and debris from the entire duct, exterior cap cleaning or replacement if degraded, airflow verification, and a documented photo record of before and after conditions delivered to you. The trap is not the problem in Alpharetta’s long interior runs. The duct behind the wall is.
