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.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Dunwoody
Residential Duct Cleaning
Dunwoody’s housing stock is dominated by 1970s-1980s planned subdivisions, most built with fiberglass duct board or early-generation flex duct routed through unconditioned attic spaces and crawlspaces. Our residential cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction, agitation tools from Rotobrush and Nikro, and HEPA filtration to remove compacted debris without releasing it into your living space. Every run is photographed before and after. The written scope specifies exactly which supply and return lines are included.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Dunwoody’s Perimeter Center office buildings and retail spaces along Ashford Dunwoody Road operate under different loading conditions than residential systems, but the same documentation standards apply. We clean commercial supply and return systems with equipment scaled to the building’s air handler capacity, photograph every accessible duct run, and deliver a written job record with the photo archive. Upfront pricing is quoted per system, not per vent.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms, and in Dunwoody homes with delaminated flex duct, they’re often the source of the fiberglass fibers and particulates homeowners notice on furniture near registers. Our supply cleaning includes agitation and negative-pressure extraction through each register line, with before-and-after photography at the boot and at accessible joints. If the camera shows collapsed flex or deteriorated duct board, we flag it in the written report.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in Dunwoody, they’re the primary collection point for oak, pine, and sweet gum pollen across six-plus months of continuous AC operation. Return duct cleaning is where we most often find dense, compacted debris that standard filter changes never touch. We clean the full return path, including the return plenum (the large chamber where return lines converge before the air handler), and document the debris load photographically.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning covers every accessible supply duct, every return duct, the plenum, and the air handler cabinet in a single visit. For Dunwoody’s 1970s-1980s homes, this is the only way to assess the complete condition of ductwork that has never been inspected. We recommend this service for any Dunwoody home that has not had documented duct cleaning in the past five years, or ever.
Video Inspection
We use video inspection instead of quoting blind because Dunwoody’s ductwork conditions vary too widely to estimate accurately without seeing inside. The scope shows collapsed flex, delaminated liner, debris accumulation, and duct board deterioration in real time. The footage becomes part of your documented photo record. This is how we found the shredded flex run in that Dunwoody Club Drive colonial, and it’s how we avoid the bait-and-switch pricing that defines this industry.

Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro negative-pressure machines, and Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration components, names customers can look up independently before agreeing to a price. We don’t use shop vacuums or consumer-grade tools. For Dunwoody homes with Honeywell or Aprilaire whole-house air cleaners integrated into the duct system, we clean the filter housing and verify seal integrity as part of the standard scope. Replacement media is stocked for common models, so there’s no delay if the existing filter is saturated.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Dunwoody Homes
- Original fiberglass duct board shedding fibers after 40-50 years. Dunwoody’s Carter-era build-outs used duct board that degrades under Georgia humidity cycling. The camera shows loose fiberglass matting pooled at elbows and boots, actively circulating through supply registers.
- Long flex runs delaminating in 140°F+ attic space. In subdivisions like Georgetown and Dunwoody Club Forest, two-story colonials have flex duct stapled through unconditioned attics that regularly hit 140°F+ in July. The inner liner separates from the wire helix, collapsing the duct and choking airflow to upstairs rooms.
- Pollen compaction in return systems. Dunwoody’s mature oak, pine, and sweet gum canopy produces airborne loads that get pulled directly into return ducts across six-plus months of continuous AC. The result is dense, layered accumulation that standard 1-inch filters cannot stop.
- Disconnected boots and collapsed sections restricting airflow. Decades of thermal cycling and occasional rodent activity in Dunwoody’s crawlspaces and attics separate duct connections at the boot, sending conditioned air into unused spaces and starving the rooms that need it.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody, GA
A typical residential duct cleaning in Dunwoody runs $380-$520 for a standard single-system home with 12-18 registers. Full system cleaning, including supply, return, plenum, and air handler cabinet, ranges $580-$720. Commercial systems are quoted per air handler, with written pricing delivered after video inspection.
What moves the number: the number of duct runs, accessibility (crawlspace vs. attic routing), debris density documented during video inspection, and whether damaged duct sections require repair or rebuild. We do not quote per vent. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires one flat price per system, agreed in writing, before any work starts.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Dunwoody
Every four to six years for Dunwoody’s specific conditions, or sooner if you have visible debris at registers, uneven airflow between rooms, or occupants with worsening allergy symptoms. The combination of 40-year-old duct stock, 140°F+ attic cycling, and heavy pollen loading from Dunwoody’s tree canopy accelerates debris compaction beyond what the generic “every three to five years” advice accounts for. Homes with original fiberglass duct board should be inspected with video every four years regardless of visible symptoms. Call (470) 326-1926 to schedule a free video inspection and written estimate.
Most likely: delaminated flex duct, collapsed sections at long attic runs, and fiberglass matting accumulation at supply boots. We pulled a video inspection scope down the main trunk of a two-story colonial off Dunwoody Club Drive and watched the inner liner of a 1980s flex run peel away in sheets, dust and fiberglass matting pooled at the boot. Our tech cut out the collapsed section, rebuilt it in rigid duct board, then ran agitation tools and HEPA filtration under negative pressure through the whole supply and return system. The homeowner told us the upstairs registers had been whistling for years, that was the airflow restriction finally gone. The inspection itself is free; the written estimate specifies exactly what needs cleaning, what needs repair, and what can wait.
Yes. Atlanta’s metro area records some of the highest pollen counts in the United States, and Dunwoody’s mature canopy of oak, pine, and sweet gum amplifies local airborne loads that get pulled directly into return systems. Six-plus months of continuous AC operation means those deposits compact and accumulate in ducts far faster than in drier or cooler climates. A standard 1-inch filter captures only a fraction of this load. The rest deposits in the return plenum and blower cabinet, reducing efficiency and circulating back through supply lines. Video inspection shows the difference between a lightly loaded system and one choked with compacted pollen mats. Call (470) 326-1926 for a free inspection.
Supply duct cleaning addresses only the lines that push conditioned air into your rooms. Full system cleaning adds every return duct, the return plenum, the air handler cabinet, and the blower assembly. In Dunwoody’s 1970s-1980s homes, the return side is typically where we find the heaviest debris accumulation, and the air handler cabinet is where pollen and mold spores recirculate into supply air. Full system cleaning is the only way to break the cycle. The price difference is typically $150-$200 above supply-only, and the written scope specifies exactly which components are included before any work starts.
Because Dunwoody’s ductwork conditions vary too widely to price accurately without seeing inside. Two homes on the same street can have radically different debris loads, flex collapse patterns, or duct board deterioration. Video inspection lets us quote precisely for what your system needs, not average across every home we’ve ever serviced. The footage becomes part of your documented photo record, so you see what we saw. This is how Haven Standard Clause 1 works: no written price until we’ve seen the scope, and no scope change without a written amendment. Free inspection, written estimate, your decision. Call (470) 326-1926 to schedule.
