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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Johns Creek
Air duct cleaning in Johns Creek, GA typically runs $420-$780 for a full residential system and almost always reveals more than dust - the city’s 1990s-era homes with multi-zone HVAC and decades of attic heat exposure routinely need sealing and repair work alongside the cleaning. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and our crews are in Johns Creek homes every week, from Medlock Bridge to the St. Ives corridor to the neighborhoods along State Bridge Road. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Atlanta office, but the trucks serving Johns Creek are stocked with Rotobrush and Abatement Technologies equipment sized for the large homes and complex duct networks this market demands. Call (470) 326-1926 for a written estimate before any work starts - that’s Haven Standard Clause 1.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Johns Creek Is Johns Creek’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve served Johns Creek homeowners since our first documented photo record in 2013, and the pattern here is distinct from anywhere else in metro Atlanta. The homes are bigger, the systems are more complex, and the ductwork has endured longer without attention.
Our reputation in Johns Creek is built on what we can show, not claim. Every customer receives a written price before work begins, a Documented Photo Record of every duct run before and after, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing - not as a policy subject to manager approval, but as a binding job record. Haven Standard Clause 3, Verified Crews, means our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival.
Response time to Johns Creek is typically same-week scheduling, with crews carrying equipment for both cleaning and the sealing repairs these homes usually need. We don’t dispatch a vacuum truck and hope for the best. We dispatch crews trained to find disconnected boots, degraded flex liner, and crushed trunk runs - because that’s what Johns Creek attics contain.
Local knowledge matters here. A technician who doesn’t know that Johns Creek’s 1990s subdivisions used two or three separate HVAC systems, or that 140°F attic temperatures degrade flex duct from the inside out, will clean what they can reach and miss the actual problem. Our Air Duct Cleaning team documents every finding and reviews it with the homeowner before proceeding.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Johns Creek

Residential Duct Cleaning
Johns Creek’s housing stock is unique in metro Atlanta: master-planned-community homes built 1988-2006, typically 4,000-6,000 sq ft, with two or three separate HVAC systems and 200-plus feet of flex duct per system routed through attic spaces that exceed 140°F in July and August. A residential duct cleaning here is not a two-hour job. It’s a half-day or full-day operation involving multiple air handlers, zone boards, and extensive attic work. We clean every register, every trunk, every return pathway - and we photograph each one. Homes near the Chattahoochee River corridor or in heavily wooded lots like those in Country Club of the South face additional pollen loading that compounds the debris accumulation.

Commercial Duct Cleaning
Johns Creek’s commercial base includes medical offices along Medlock Bridge Road, professional services near the intersection of State Bridge and Jones Bridge, and retail spaces in the Abbotts Hill and Parsons Run areas. Commercial systems here face the same pollen and humidity challenges as residential, with the added load of higher occupancy cycles and, in many cases, rooftop package units with longer duct runs. We quote commercial work with the same written-price-first protocol, and we deliver the same Documented Photo Record - scaled to the larger system count and access requirements of commercial properties.

Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts deliver conditioned air to your registers. In Johns Creek’s large homes, supply trunks often run 50-80 feet before branching to individual rooms, and low-velocity design means debris settles rather than blows through. We see this especially in two-story homes where long horizontal attic runs serve second-floor zones. Our supply duct cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction - suction applied at the air handler to pull dislodged debris back toward the collection point rather than pushing it into your living space - followed by register-level verification with a borescope camera.

Return Duct Cleaning
Return pathways pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. In Johns Creek homes, these are often the dirtiest runs because they handle unfiltered air from your living space - and because 1990s construction practices frequently left gaps in return plenums that pull attic air instead of conditioned air. Our return duct cleaning includes inspection of the plenum integrity. If we find a disconnected boot or degraded flex liner, we document it, show you the photo, and quote the sealing repair before proceeding. This is where the real airflow improvement happens.

Full System Cleaning
For Johns Creek’s multi-zone homes, partial cleaning is a false economy. Cleaning one of three systems leaves the return pathways of the others circulating debris through shared living space. Our Full System Cleaning addresses every air handler, every duct run, every register - with a single written price for the complete scope, not a per-vent add-on that balloons at the door. The photo record covers every system, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to the full job.

Video Inspection
We recommend video inspection for every first-time cleaning in Johns Creek. The camera shows what we cannot guess: the condition of the flex duct inner liner, the integrity of boot connections, the extent of debris buildup at elbows and transitions, and whether a “cleaning” job is actually a cleaning-and-sealing job. In the Medlock Bridge subdivision, a 1997 home with three systems and roughly 250 feet of attic-routed flex duct was showing weak airflow at the master-suite registers. Our tech ran a camera inspection and found 22 years of compacted pollen and clay dust in the return plenum - plus a boot pulled off its register on the second-floor trunk where attic heat had degraded the inner liner. We cleaned and sealed the run, and static pressure at the air handler dropped enough that the Honeywell zone board stopped short-cycling. Without the camera, we would have cleaned past the disconnect and left the homeowner with the same airflow problem.

Our technicians explain what equipment will be used on your specific system before the written price is finalized.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Johns Creek Homes

- Disconnected boots in 140°F attics. Original 1990s flex duct in Johns Creek’s sprawling attic systems has degraded inner liners, and boot connections pull away from registers where heat and vibration have broken the seal. A cleaning without resealing leaves the disconnected run blowing attic air - unfiltered, unconditioned, often 30-40°F different from setpoint - directly into your living space. We find this on the majority of first-time cleanings in Medlock Bridge and St. Ives homes.
- Crushed trunk runs in long low-velocity systems. Large 4,000-6,000 sq ft floor plans hide long horizontal trunk runs where a single section crushed by storage activity or contractor traffic chokes airflow to entire wings of the house. The homeowner experiences “that room is always too hot” and assumes it’s the HVAC size. Often it’s a crushed 12-foot section of flex duct that a camera inspection locates in minutes.
- Multi-zone systems cleaned partially. Homes with two or three air handlers often get only the most visible system addressed, leaving return pathways in the basement or secondary attic carrying years of accumulated pollen and construction dust. The “cleaned” system works harder because the “uncleaned” returns are still circulating debris. Our Full System Cleaning quotes every air handler in the written scope.
- Humidity-driven mold in condensation-prone runs. Georgia’s Piedmont climate drives persistent summer condensation inside attic-routed flex ductwork, and Johns Creek’s dense pine and hardwood canopy limits solar drying. We find mold and mildew growth especially in north-facing trunk runs and in homes where attic ventilation was marginal from original construction. The photo record shows the extent; the written scope includes antimicrobial treatment only where it’s actually needed.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Johns Creek, GA
Because Johns Creek’s 1988-2006 master-planned homes were built with two or three separate HVAC systems running 200-plus feet of flex duct through 140°F+ attics, nearly every first-time cleaning here uncovers at least one crushed or disconnected run in addition to two decades of debris - so the sealing repair, not the vacuuming, is usually what restores airflow. This scope difference means generic per-vent pricing fails here. We don’t use it.
| Service | Typical Range in Johns Creek |
|---|---|
| Single-system residential cleaning (small home, one air handler) | $420-$580 |
| Two-system residential cleaning (most 1990s-2000s homes) | $620-$840 |
| Three-system full home cleaning (large estate homes) | $840-$1,180 |
| Video inspection as standalone service | $180-$260 |
| Duct sealing/repair per disconnected or crushed run (added to cleaning) | $140-$320 per run |
| Antimicrobial treatment (where photo record shows mold) | $180-$280 per system |
What moves the price: system count, linear footage of ductwork, accessibility of attic routes, and whether the camera inspection reveals sealing or repair needs beyond cleaning. The written price includes all of this - no per-vent add-ons, no “while we’re here” upsells. Haven Standard Clause 1: the price is fixed before work starts.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Johns Creek

Expect to find more than dust. In Johns Creek’s 1990s subdivisions, original flex duct has been exposed to 140°F attic temperatures for 20-30 years, and the inner liner degrades while pollen and red Georgia clay construction dust compact in the returns. Our camera inspection typically reveals at least one disconnected boot or crushed trunk run in addition to heavy debris - meaning the job usually involves sealing repair alongside cleaning. The written price covers both before any work starts. Call (470) 326-1926 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Your home was built during the 1988-2006 master-planned-community boom, when 4,000-6,000 sq ft floor plans were standard and builders used multiple smaller systems rather than one oversized unit to achieve zone control. Each system has its own air handler, duct network, and filter - and each needs independent cleaning and inspection. Cleaning only the most visible system leaves the others circulating debris through shared living space. Our Full System Cleaning quotes every air handler in one written scope.
Yes, localized pollen loads here are among the highest in the metro due to the dense pine and hardwood canopy blanketing subdivision lots and the proximity to the Chattahoochee River corridor, which traps and concentrates airborne particulates. We see this directly in our photo records: return plenums in Johns Creek homes show visibly heavier spring pollen accumulation than equivalent homes in more developed, less wooded suburbs. This is why we emphasize complete return-pathway cleaning, not just supply registers.
A video inspection uses a borescope camera inserted into the ductwork to show the condition of the inner liner, the integrity of boot connections, and the extent of debris at elbows and transitions - all in real time, with photos saved to your job record. For older Johns Creek ductwork, it matters because degraded flex liner and disconnected boots are invisible from the register and undetectable by airflow feel alone. The camera finds the structural problems that cleaning alone won’t fix. We recommend it for every first-time cleaning in this market.
Yes. Attic temperatures in Johns Creek regularly exceed 140°F in July and August, and sustained heat degrades the adhesive and inner liner of 1990s-era flex duct from the inside out. The boot connections - where the flexible duct meets the rigid register box - are especially vulnerable; the adhesive fails, the boot pulls away, and conditioned air leaks into the attic while unfiltered attic air pulls into the living space. This is not a theory. We document it weekly. The repair is duct sealing, and it’s included in the written scope when the camera finds it. Call (470) 326-1926 to schedule an inspection.
