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.

We’re the Dryer Vent Cleaning team at CleanRun, dispatching from our Atlanta office to serve intown neighborhoods and suburban corridors alike. Our crews know the difference between a straightforward wall-exit vent in a 2015 Buckhead townhouse and a crawlspace-hidden flex run in a 1930s East Atlanta bungalow. That local housing knowledge matters because the fix for one is rarely the fix for the other.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Atlanta
Dryer Vent Inspection
Every Atlanta job starts with camera inspection. In neighborhoods like East Atlanta and Kirkwood, where 1920s-1940s bungalows hide dryer vent runs through uninsulated crawlspaces, the camera reveals what the wall trap cannot. We’ve found rusted crimped aluminum foil duct, foil-taped joints loosened by decades of humid subtropical air, and lint packed into felt-like mats that completely block airflow. The inspection produces a written scope and price before any cleaning begins.
Vent Cleaning (Source Removal)
We use agitation tools under negative-pressure extraction to remove lint, pollen, and debris from the full vent pathway. In Atlanta’s older homes, this often means working through 20-30 feet of flex duct with multiple elbows. The process is photographed before and after, and the customer receives those images as part of the standard job record. We verify airflow improvement with static pressure measurement before signing off.
Lint Removal
The visible lint at your trap is typically 10-20% of what’s in the run. In Atlanta’s 1990s suburban builder-grade homes, long flex duct routed through 130-140°F attics creates sagging points where lint accumulates beyond the reach of consumer brush kits. Our source-removal equipment reaches the full length of the run, including collapsed or detached sections that shop-vacs cannot access.
Vent Rerouting
Rerouting is often the real fix in Atlanta’s intown bungalows. Original crawlspace duct with rusted flex and failed tape joints cannot be cleaned back to reliability. We replace these runs with hard-piped metal duct where possible, shortening the pathway and eliminating sag points. A 2023 job on a 1938 bungalow off Flat Shoals Avenue in East Atlanta illustrates this: our tech found the dryer vent tied into original flex duct that sagged through the crawlspace, its crimped aluminum foil wrap rusted and foil-taped at the air handler plenum. Camera inspection showed the lint pathway nearly blocked by a felt-like mat of lint, Georgia red clay dust, and pine pollen, so we switched to source removal with agitation tools under negative pressure, then re-routed and hard-piped the run with a Guardsman bird guard and new vent cap. The customer had put up with two to three dry cycles per load for years; after the clean and re-route, the dryer finished a heavy load on the first pass.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Atlanta
CleanRun stocks parts and accessories from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Atlanta customers, with vent caps, bird guards, and transition fittings available without special-order delays. We specify these brands in our written scopes so customers know exactly what materials are going into their homes. For vent rerouting jobs, we use rigid metal duct and professional-grade connectors rather than the flex and foil tape that failed in the first place.
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in Atlanta Homes
- Long flex runs in unconditioned crawlspaces. Atlanta’s 1920s-1940s intown bungalows often route dryer vents through crawlspaces where humid subtropical air rusts crimped aluminum foil duct and loosens foil-tape joints. The visible lint at the trap is a fraction of what has packed the run.
- Disconnected or crushed flex duct in attics. The same 130-140°F summer attic heat that degrades HVAC flex duct also separates dryer vent runs, pulling humid, pollen-laden attic air and insulation particles instead of exhausting outside. We find this routinely in 1990s Gwinnett and Cherokee county builder-grade homes.
- Blockage beyond consumer tool reach. Relying on a shop-vac or brush kit at the wall fails when lint packs 20 feet down a sagging flex run with multiple elbows. Only camera inspection reveals the true blockage depth in these Atlanta homes.
- Missing or failed bird guards. Atlanta’s urban tree canopy attracts nesting birds and squirrels. Open vent caps become entry points, with nests and debris completely blocking exhaust flow. We install Guardsman bird guards as part of rerouting work.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Atlanta, GA
Standard dryer vent cleaning in Atlanta runs $180-$340 for a typical residential job with accessible exterior termination. Vent rerouting, which we recommend for many intown bungalows with failed crawlspace flex, adds $200-$450 depending on linear feet, material type (rigid metal vs. semi-rigid), and termination location. Bird guard installation is $85-$150 per unit. Vent cap replacement runs $75-$180.
What moves the price: length of run, number of elbows, accessibility (crawlspace vs. wall-exit), and whether the existing duct can be cleaned or must be replaced. Every job gets a written price before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No per-vent pricing, no teaser coupons, no invoice inflation once the truck is on your drive.

FAQs - Dryer Vent Cleaning in Atlanta
Atlanta’s combination of high pollen loads, humid subtropical climate, and older housing stock creates more lint accumulation and duct degradation than drier or newer-built cities. The loblolly pines, oaks, and sweetgums that give Atlanta its “City in a Forest” nickname produce pollen that infiltrates homes and mixes with lint in duct runs, while humidity promotes rust and tape failure in unconditioned crawlspaces and attics. If your vent runs through a crawlspace or long attic flex, it likely faces conditions your friend’s straight-wall-exit vent does not. Call (470) 516-9337 and we’ll camera-inspect to show you exactly what’s inside.
Original crimped aluminum foil duct with foil-tape joints in a Grant Park crawlspace typically cannot be cleaned back to reliable condition; the rust and tape failure are progressive, and cleaning alone leaves the same pathway prone to re-clog. We camera-inspect first, then recommend hard-pipe rerouting if the flex shows rust, sagging, or joint separation. The written scope includes both options with separate prices so you can decide. Call (470) 516-9337 for a free inspection.
Lint is highly combustible, and restricted airflow causes dryers to overheat; the U.S. Fire Administration reports thousands of dryer fires annually, with lint accumulation the leading cause. In Atlanta specifically, the longer flex runs and crawlspace routing common in intown bungalows create more accumulation points than straight-exit systems, and the humid climate can make lint mat into denser blockages. We document the fire risk in our written scope when camera inspection shows significant accumulation. Call (470) 516-9337 for an inspection and written assessment.
Rerouting replaces failed flex duct with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, typically shortening the run and eliminating sag points. On an Atlanta bungalow, this often means abandoning a crawlspace pathway and running new hard pipe through a closet or interior wall to a new exterior termination with proper bird guard. The job includes removal of old duct, installation of new materials, airflow verification, and a Guardsman bird guard. Written price before work starts; documented photo record after. Call (470) 516-9337 for a scope and price.
Signs include clothes taking multiple cycles to dry, a humid laundry room, lint accumulation around the dryer rather than at the exterior vent, or a dryer that feels unusually hot to the touch. In Atlanta’s 1990s suburban homes with attic routing, we often find disconnected flex during routine inspection; the customer had noticed slower drying but assumed the dryer was failing. Camera inspection confirms the location and extent of disconnection. Call (470) 516-9337 for a free inspection and written findings.
