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.

AfterSupply Duct Cleaning in Marietta, GA
Our Air Duct Cleaning services remove the debris, dust, and biological buildup from the ducts that push conditioned air into your living spaces. In Marietta, where clay-heavy soil, humid summers, and pollen counts that routinely peak in the top ten nationally all work together to load up a duct system, supply runs tend to accumulate faster than most homeowners expect. If you want a written price before anyone touches your system, call (470) 516-9337 – CleanRun has quoted every job in writing since 2013, no exceptions.
Supply duct cleaning is a core part of what we cover under Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta, and it deserves its own explanation because supply runs behave differently than return runs. Return ducts pull air toward the air handler; supply ducts push treated air outward through every register in your home. That airflow carries fine particulate into every room, which means whatever is sitting inside a supply run ends up being distributed rather than contained.
CleanRun has cleaned more than 52,000 homes across the metro area. Tomas Reyes built the company on one operating rule: show the customer the inside of the duct with a Video Inspection before describing what needs to happen. Every supply run we open is photographed before the first brush stroke. Every run is photographed again after negative-pressure extraction is complete. That documented photo record ships to you as a standard deliverable on every job – not because a manager approved it that day, but because Haven Standard Clause 2 requires it on every visit, every time.
When You Need Supply Duct Cleaning
- Visible dust at supply registers shortly after cleaning. If you’re wiping down the metal grilles in your East Cobb or Kennesaw Road corridor home every week or two and dust is back within days, the register face is not the source – the duct run behind it is. Cleaning the surface without addressing the run just moves the problem forward one cycle.
- Uneven room temperatures across the house. A supply run partially blocked by debris restricts airflow to that zone. In Marietta’s older subdivisions off Powder Springs Road – where original 1980s flex duct is still common – partial blockages are frequently mistaken for HVAC sizing problems until the duct is opened and photographed.
- Musty or stale odor when the system kicks on. Marietta’s average summer relative humidity runs above 70 percent for four to five months of the year. That moisture, combined with the fine organic material that settles in supply runs, creates the conditions for microbial growth on duct liner surfaces. The odor you notice when the blower starts is usually the first signal.
- Recent renovation or construction dust. Drywall compound, joint filler, and spray foam particles are finer than ordinary household dust, and they load supply runs fast. If you finished a basement, added a room, or had a kitchen remodel in the last 24 months, those runs should be inspected and almost certainly cleaned.
- Allergy or respiratory symptoms tied to specific rooms. When a household member’s symptoms are worse in one part of the house than another, that room’s supply run is worth inspecting first. We’ve opened runs in Marietta homes near the Town Center area and found debris accumulations significant enough to account for the difference in air quality room to room.
- More than four to five years since the last documented cleaning. Manufacturers of professional extraction systems generally cite four-to-six-year intervals as a reasonable cleaning cycle for occupied single-family homes. Homes with pets, high occupancy, or older flex duct typically warrant the shorter end of that range.
Our Supply Duct Cleaning Process
- Written scope and price before any panel comes off. Before a technician picks up a tool, you receive a written line-item price. This is Haven Standard Clause 1, and it applies whether the job is a three-register condo or a sixteen-run colonial in West Marietta. The number on the paper is the number on the invoice.
- Pre-cleaning camera inspection and photography of every supply run. We remove each supply register and run a camera into the duct before work begins. The camera documents what is actually present – debris depth at the first elbow, liner condition, any visible microbial staining, or disconnected flex duct at a junction. These images become the “before” portion of your documented photo record. We describe what the camera showed; we don’t characterize it emotionally.
- Negative-pressure containment. Negative-pressure extraction means we attach professional-grade vacuum equipment – Nikro industry-rated units are part of our standard setup – to the supply plenum (the main distribution box that feeds all supply runs from the air handler). This creates a controlled low-pressure zone inside the duct system so that dislodged debris moves toward the vacuum, not toward your living space. Nothing becomes airborne in the room.
- Rotary brush agitation through each supply run. With negative pressure established, a technician works through each supply run using a rotary brush system sized to the duct diameter. The brush loosens debris that has compacted against duct walls and liner surfaces – material that a shop vac inserted at the register face simply cannot reach. The agitation works in conjunction with the extraction airflow so loosened debris is captured immediately.
- Post-cleaning camera verification and photography. After extraction is complete on each run, the camera goes back in. The after images are documented alongside the before images in your job record. If a run doesn’t look demonstrably cleaner in the after photo, we don’t move on until it does. This step is what separates documented cleaning from vacuum noise.
- Register reinstallation and system check. Supply registers are reinstalled and sealed at the face. We run the system briefly to confirm airflow at each supply point and verify there are no pressure irregularities introduced during the process. Your technician reviews the photo record with you before leaving – or delivers it digitally the same day if you prefer not to walk through it on site.
BeforeAfterSupply Duct Cleaning Pricing in Marietta
Supply duct cleaning in Marietta typically runs between $280 and $620 for a standard single-family home, depending on the number of supply runs, the type of duct material, and the degree of debris accumulation the pre-inspection camera finds. See our full breakdown in How Much Does Air Duct Cleaning Cost? (2026 Price Guide) - Marietta, GA. The price you receive before work begins is the price you pay – Haven Standard Clause 1 has no footnotes.
| Scope | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Small home or condo (up to 8 supply runs) | $280 – $380 |
| Mid-size home (9 – 14 supply runs) | $380 – $490 |
| Larger home (15 – 20+ supply runs) | $490 – $620 |
| Heavy debris, microbial staining, or damaged liner requiring additional passes | Quoted separately in writing after pre-inspection |
Several factors move the number within those ranges for Marietta homes specifically:
- Duct material. Rigid sheet metal runs faster than flex duct to clean. Many Marietta subdivisions built between 1978 and 1995 – particularly in the Whitfield Estates and Fair Oaks corridors – have original fiberglass-lined flex duct that requires a lower brush speed to avoid liner abrasion. That adds time and is reflected in the written price before work begins.
- Access difficulty. Crawlspace duct runs and attic-mounted supply trunks require more setup time than basement or main-floor systems. Marietta’s hillier lots, common in the Kennesaw Mountain foothills area, often result in split-level homes with supply runs distributed across two or three access zones.
- Debris load. A run with four inches of compacted debris at the first elbow requires more extraction passes than a run with light surface dust. The pre-inspection camera tells us which situation we’re in before we give you a number – never after.
- Add-on services. If the camera reveals microbial staining on supply liner surfaces, a sanitizing application using Abatement Technologies-rated products is quoted as a separate written line item. You decide whether to add it; it is never bundled in without your explicit agreement.

FAQs – Supply Duct Cleaning
What is a supply duct, and how is cleaning it different from cleaning return ducts?
A supply duct is any duct that carries conditioned air from the air handler outward to a room register – the vents in your ceiling or floor that blow air into the space. Return ducts do the opposite: they pull room air back toward the air handler to be filtered and re-conditioned. Cleaning supply runs matters because anything sitting in that duct gets carried into your living space on every blower cycle. Return ducts collect more raw debris (because they’re pulling air), but supply ducts distribute whatever has accumulated there across every room the run serves. Both sides of the system deserve attention, which is why our full Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta scope addresses both – but supply runs are the side that directly affects what your household breathes. Call (470) 516-9337 to get a written price for your specific system.
How much does supply duct cleaning cost in Marietta, GA?
Supply duct cleaning in Marietta typically costs between $280 and $620 for a single-family home, based on the number of runs, duct material, and debris level found during the pre-inspection camera review. The written price is given before any work begins – Haven Standard Clause 1 means no surprises on the invoice. Call (470) 516-9337 and we’ll put a number in writing before we schedule the job.
Can supply ducts be cleaned without disrupting the rest of my HVAC system?
Yes. Supply duct cleaning is performed under negative pressure, which means the extraction equipment draws air through the system in a controlled direction – toward the vacuum, not into the room. The air handler is kept off during the process so the blower doesn’t interfere with extraction airflow. Registers are removed one zone at a time and reinstalled before we move to the next. For most Marietta homes, the process takes two to four hours depending on run count, and the system is operational again the same day. Call (470) 516-9337 to find out how long your specific layout will take.
How do I know the supply ducts were actually cleaned and not just vacuumed at the register face?
You know because you see the camera images. Every supply run CleanRun opens is photographed before cleaning and after – the before image documents what was present at the time of inspection, the after image documents the condition post-extraction. Both images are delivered to you as part of your standard job record on every visit, a practice Tomas Reyes built into the company from its first job in 2013. If a competitor cleaned your ducts and cannot show you a before-and-after camera record of each run, there is no documented evidence of what was done. Call (470) 516-9337 if you want a second opinion on a previous cleaning – we put our own assessment in writing at no cost.
