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.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Sandy Springs, GA
Full-system HVAC cleaning in Sandy Springs typically runs $380-$620 for a single-zone home and $720-$1,100 for multi-zone executive homes with two or more air handlers. The combination of 1970s-1990s flex ductwork, Chattahoochee River corridor humidity, and Atlanta’s oak-and-pine pollen load means buildup here is heavier and more microbial than in drier, newer suburbs. Call (470) 326-1926 for a written estimate before any work starts.
CleanRun crews coordinate dispatch from our Atlanta office and serve Sandy Springs homes with the H.A.V.E.N. Standard: background-checked technicians, a written price delivered before any panel comes off, and a Documented Photo Record of every duct run included as standard. We have photographed the inside of 52,000+ homes since 2013, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Why Sandy Springs Homes Are Different
Sandy Springs grew as an unincorporated Fulton County executive enclave during the Perimeter business district boom of the 1970s-1990s, and the housing stock reflects it: large traditional and ranch-style homes, many 3,000-5,000 square feet with multiple HVAC zones and original fiberglass flex ductwork now 30-50 years old. That scale and age combination is rare in neighboring cities.
The Chattahoochee River corridor along the western edge creates a localized humidity pocket that pulls moist air into crawl-space and basement duct systems. Technicians working Riverside and other river-adjacent neighborhoods regularly pull flex sections with visible mold on the interior liner and collapsed inner cores - 1980s-era duct material never rated for sustained moisture exposure. Atlanta’s metro-wide severe pollen load, driven by the heavy oak and loblolly pine canopy Sandy Springs retains, compounds the problem: return ducts accumulate pollen rapidly each spring, layering particulate on top of microbial growth year over year.
Our Main Sandy Springs Services
Most Sandy Springs homeowners who call CleanRun start with one of these three jobs.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sandy Springs
We clean the full duct system - supply runs, return runs, registers, and plenum - using negative-pressure extraction (a vacuum system that pulls debris out while containing it, rather than blowing it into the home). In Sandy Springs, we typically find 30-50 year old flex duct with degraded liners, especially in homes near the Chattahoochee where humidity has accelerated material breakdown. Every run is photographed before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in Sandy Springs
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sandy Springs
Dryer vent blockages are a fire hazard and efficiency drain. In Sandy Springs’s larger homes, vent runs often extend 25-40 feet through multiple walls to exterior terminations, creating more lint accumulation points than shorter runs in smaller homes. We clean the full run from appliance to termination, photograph the blockage, and measure airflow before and after. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sandy Springs
Duct Repair & Sealing in Sandy Springs
Original flex duct in Sandy Springs’s 1970s-1990s homes has often separated at connections, collapsed in sections, or degraded to the point that cleaning alone is insufficient. We replace damaged sections with properly rated material, seal joints with mastic (a brush-applied sealant that outperforms tape long-term), and photograph every repair.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Sandy Springs
Full HVAC cleaning addresses the components air moves through after it leaves the ducts: the evaporator coil, blower, condenser, air handler, and heat exchanger. In Sandy Springs, multi-zone executive homes with 30-50 year old systems present a specific challenge: each zone has its own coil and blower, and the Chattahoochee corridor humidity means microbial growth on these components is common, not exceptional. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes full photo documentation of each component before and after treatment.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice formation on the coil, reduced airflow from registers, or musty odors when the AC cycles on in humid summer months.
What it costs in Sandy Springs
Evaporator coil cleaning in Sandy Springs typically ranges $280-$450 per air handler, with multi-zone homes requiring treatment for each unit.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum (the main distribution box where ducts connect), apply foaming cleaner formulated for aluminum fins, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the coil surface before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Uneven airflow between rooms, whistling from the air handler cabinet, or visible dust ejected from registers when the fan starts.
What it costs in Sandy Springs
Blower assembly cleaning in Sandy Springs typically ranges $220-$380 per unit depending on accessibility and the degree of buildup.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the squirrel cage and motor housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the fan, and photograph the assembly before reinstallation.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Sandy Springs
| Item | Typical range in Sandy Springs |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning (per air handler) | $280-$450 |
| Blower assembly cleaning (per unit) | $220-$380 |
| Condenser cleaning (outdoor unit) | $180-$320 |
| Full system cleaning (single-zone home) | $380-$620 |
| Full system cleaning (multi-zone home) | $720-$1,100 |
How do I know if all my zones need cleaning?
If your Sandy Springs home has multiple thermostats, each controls a separate air handler with its own coil and blower; we inspect each zone and quote only the work needed, with photos to show why. Call (470) 326-1926 for a written estimate on each zone.
Can HVAC cleaning fix musty smells?
Musty odors often come from microbial growth on the coil or in the drain pan, common in Sandy Springs’s humid river-corridor homes; cleaning removes the source, and we photograph the growth before treatment so you can see the difference.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Sandy Springs
Air quality treatment addresses what lives in the ductwork after debris is removed: mold, bacteria, and the persistent odors that result. In Sandy Springs, the Chattahoochee River corridor’s elevated humidity means our crews find active mold growth in flex duct liners far more often than in drier inland suburbs, and the 30-50 year age of most ductwork means the material itself has become porous enough to harbor odors even after cleaning. Air Quality & Sanitizing from CleanRun includes post-treatment lab-verifiable photo documentation.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible mold on register grilles, musty odors that persist after duct cleaning, or allergy symptoms that worsen when the HVAC runs.
What it costs in Sandy Springs
Mold treatment in Sandy Springs typically ranges $450-$780 per affected zone, with severity and duct accessibility as the main variables.
How we do it
We apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial through the full duct system using a fogging device, treat the coil and plenum, and photograph every treated surface for the job record.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold after treatment, frequent HVAC filter changes due to microbial loading, or a home in the river-corridor humidity zone with chronic moisture issues.
What it costs in Sandy Springs
UV light installation in Sandy Springs typically ranges $380-$650 per air handler including the lamp, ballast, and mounting hardware.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum where it irradiates the coil and downstream air, wire it to the air handler’s 24-volt circuit, and show you the installation point in the photo record.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Sandy Springs
| Item | Typical range in Sandy Springs |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (per zone) | $450-$780 |
| Bacteria sanitizing (whole system) | $320-$550 |
| UV light installation (per air handler) | $380-$650 |
| Air purifier installation (whole-home inline) | $680-$1,200 |
Is mold treatment safe for my family?
We use EPA-registered antimicrobials applied with the HVAC system off and the home ventilated; the product breaks down to inert compounds and we document application points in your photo record. Call (470) 326-1926 to review the specific product sheet before scheduling.
Will UV lights actually prevent mold?
UV-C lamps inhibit mold growth on the coil and in the plenum where they are installed, but they do not clean existing debris; we recommend UV installation only after full cleaning and mold treatment, with photos showing the clean baseline.
