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 Marietta
Residential Duct Cleaning
Marietta’s ranch and split-level homes from the 1960s through 1980s hold specific challenges. The original fiberglass ductboard trunks in attics along Canton Road and near Dobbins ARB have endured 40-60 summers of 140-150°F heat. We clean these systems with negative-pressure extraction (a sealed vacuum method that prevents debris from escaping into your home) and document every run with before-and-after photography.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Businesses near Marietta Square and along Roswell Road need scheduled cleaning that doesn’t disrupt operations. We quote flat system prices, coordinate after-hours access when needed, and deliver the same documented photo record included on every residential job.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air to your registers. In Marietta’s older homes, we regularly find these runs partially blocked by degraded ductboard liner material or debris from overwhelmed one-inch filters. Our agitation tools, paired with HEPA-filtered negative pressure, remove buildup without damaging aging ductwork.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning. This is where Marietta’s pollen load - oak, pine, and sweet gum during metro Atlanta’s nationally ranked spring season - does its heaviest depositing. We emphasize return duct cleaning because a clogged return forces your HVAC system to work harder and recirculates particulate that should have been filtered out.
Full System Cleaning
Our most comprehensive service for Marietta homes. We clean every supply and return run, the plenum (the central distribution box attached to your air handler), and accessible trunk lines. For homes with the two-phase ductboard-plus-flex configuration common here, full system cleaning often reveals separated connections that are pulling unconditioned attic air into the airstream.
Video Inspection
We recommend video inspection for Marietta’s 1960s-1980s housing stock before quoting any cleaning scope. The camera shows what cannot be guessed: ductboard liner degradation, flex-tap separation, mold colonization from attic moisture infiltration, and debris depth at elbows and transitions. You see what we see. Then we write the price.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Marietta
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush agitation systems, Abatement Technologies negative-pressure machines, and Aprilaire filtration components. These are trade-recognized brands customers can research independently. We don’t make performance claims beyond manufacturer specifications. What matters is that the right tool reaches the right duct, and that the result is photographed.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Marietta Homes
- Separated flex-tap connections. Our crew was called to a split-level off Sandy Plains Road where the homeowner complained of a gritty film on furniture; camera inspection inside the original ductboard trunk showed the inner liner shedding glass fibers and a separated 1990s flex tap pulling attic air. We set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration at the air handler, ran agitation tools through the supply and return ducts, and rebuilt the failed tap with proper mechanical connections - afterward the register airflow was steady and the complaint stopped.
- Fiberglass ductboard liner shedding. After decades of summer heat cycling in Marietta’s unconditioned attics, the inner surface of original ductboard trunks breaks down. The camera shows glass fibers loose in the airstream. This is not a hypothetical concern; it’s a documented finding we photograph.
- Pollen overload in return runs. Metro Atlanta’s tree pollen season overwhelms the one-inch filter slots standard in Marietta’s older homes. Heavy particulate loads settle deep into return-air duct runs, reducing airflow and recirculating allergens.
- Attic moisture and mold colonization. Marietta’s humid subtropical climate creates persistent moisture infiltration in attic-mounted systems. Mold inside unsealed ductwork is a common finding, not an edge case, and it requires documented identification before any cleaning protocol is set.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta, GA
A typical residential full system cleaning in Marietta runs $380-$720. Video inspection alone, when booked separately, is $180-$260. Return duct cleaning as a standalone service ranges $220-$380. Commercial systems vary by square footage and access, with written quotes delivered on-site.
What moves a Marietta job toward the higher end: multiple separated flex taps requiring mechanical repair, heavy ductboard liner degradation needing containment protocol, or outbuilding systems with extended duct runs. What keeps it lower: straightforward cleaning of accessible supply and return runs with intact connections.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta
Every 18-24 months for homes on unpaved roads or with significant open land exposure, compared to 3-5 years for filtered suburban homes. Dust and pollen loading from unpaved road traffic, agricultural activity, and lack of tree canopy barrier forces more particulate through intake points. Wood heat in outbuildings adds soot and ash particulate that standard HVAC filters never see. We set realistic intervals based on what the camera finds, not a calendar. Call (470) 326-1926 to schedule video inspection and establish your home’s actual need.
Because the original fiberglass ductboard trunks, now 40-60 years old, commonly show liner degradation that changes both the cleaning protocol and the safety precautions. Camera inspection also reveals whether 1990s flex branches were taped onto original trunks with connections that have since dried and separated - a failure mode our crews find regularly in post-war Marietta neighborhoods but rarely in newer-built neighbors like Kennesaw or Acworth. You see the footage. We write the scope and price based on what is actually there.
Yes. Wood heat produces soot, ash, and creosote particulate that coats duct surfaces differently than standard household dust. These systems need more frequent inspection and often require modified agitation techniques to avoid pushing fine particulate through the structure. We photograph outbuilding ductwork with the same documentation standard as residential systems. Call (470) 326-1926 to discuss your specific setup.
It means source removal - agitation plus negative-pressure extraction - not vacuuming at the register. For Marietta’s typical system, we seal the air handler, establish negative pressure with HEPA-filtered equipment, run mechanical agitation tools through every supply and return run, and verify cleanliness with post-cleaning camera inspection. The documented photo record shows compliance. We deliver it to you as part of the standard job record.
Dryer vent cleaning is a separate service with separate equipment, though we often schedule both during the same visit. Marietta’s humidity makes lint cling to vent walls more stubbornly than in drier climates, and longer vent runs common in ranch homes increase blockage risk. We quote dryer vent cleaning as a distinct line item with its own written price. Ask about bundling when you call (470) 326-1926.
