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.

AfterNikro Air Duct Cleaning in Johns Creek: What to Know First
CleanRun provides independent Nikro air duct cleaning in Johns Creek with written pricing delivered before any work begins and a documented photo record of every duct run completed. Most residential Nikro systems we service in Johns Creek are scheduled within a few days and finished in a single visit. The photo goes first. The price comes after.
This page is for homeowners in Johns Creek who own Nikro air duct cleaning equipment, portable HEPA vacuums, or negative air machines and need professional service, maintenance, or repair. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Nikro. We are an independent Nikro service provider. If your Nikro unit is underperforming, leaking suction, or due for scheduled maintenance, call (470) 326-1926 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
How Nikro Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Nikro PS1000 and PS2000 portable HEPA vacuums lose suction at the hose cuff connection. The molded plastic cuff on these units fatigues after roughly 18-24 months of regular use in Johns Creek’s humid summers, creating a gap that reads as a filter clog but is actually ambient air infiltration. We replace the cuff with a reinforced aftermarket fitting or source the OEM Nikro cuff depending on warranty status, then pressure-test the assembly before the unit leaves our shop.
- Nikro HP20 and HP20 Gas-Powered Vacuums develop carburetor varnish from ethanol-blend fuel stored between jobs. Johns Creek homeowners who use these for large property cleanouts often let fuel sit 6-8 weeks, enough time for phase separation to gum the jets. We disassemble the carburetor, ultrasonic-clean the passages, and install a fuel stabilizer recommendation sheet as part of the job record under Haven Standard Clause 1.
- Nikro SL4000 and SL5000 negative air machines show reduced CFM from blower wheel imbalance. The forward-curved aluminum wheels on these series collect moisture-borne debris in Johns Creek’s clay-heavy crawlspaces, throwing the wheel out of balance and accelerating bearing wear. We remove the wheel, clean and balance it on a dynamic balancer, and replace bearings with SKF equivalents rated for the actual duty cycle.
- Nikro DV900 and DV1800 dryer vent cleaning systems experience cable binding at the 90-degree elbow transition. The .25-inch spring wire on these units kinks when forced through lint-compacted elbows in older Johns Creek townhomes, particularly the pre-2010 builds off State Bridge Road. We extract the damaged cable, inspect the sheath for internal scoring, and fit a replacement cable with a reinforced core that maintains flexibility through tighter radius turns.
- Nikro UV200 and UV400 air scrubbers show diminished lamp output before the rated 9,000-hour mark. In Johns Creek, where pollen counts spike March through May, the quartz sleeves on these units foul faster than the manufacturer spec assumes, reducing UV-C transmission by 30-40% before lamp failure. We clean the sleeve with denatured alcohol, verify output with a UV-C radiometer, and replace only the lamp or the sleeve based on actual measurement, not calendar date.
Our Nikro Air Duct Cleaning Process
- 1
Intake and symptom documentation. We record the Nikro model, serial number, and the specific failure or maintenance need. Tomas Reyes or a crew lead reviews the unit’s service history if prior CleanRun work exists.
- 2
Physical inspection with photo documentation. Every Nikro unit is opened, inspected, and photographed before any disassembly. The customer receives these images as the first page of their job record.
- 3
Diagnostic and parts determination. We identify whether OEM Nikro parts, quality aftermarket equivalents, or upgraded components best serve the repair. Warranty coverage is verified where applicable; we do not perform warranty-voiding modifications.
- 4
Repair or maintenance execution. Work is completed with the documented photo record continuing through reassembly. Filter media, seals, and fasteners are logged by part number.
- 5
Performance verification and written delivery. The unit is run-tested under load. A written scope of work, parts used, test results, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise are delivered before final payment is accepted.

Why Johns Creek Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Johns Creek for Nikro Work
We have serviced Nikro equipment alongside Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems in Johns Creek since 2013. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Nikro repair we perform, backed in writing, not as a policy subject to manager approval. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they arrive identified by name.
The documented photo record is standard on every visit, not an upsell. Tomas Reyes trains crew members to name what they found, show the image, and quote the repair in that order. In neighborhoods like the Medlock Bridge corridor, where two-story builds with zoned systems create complex duct configurations, this discipline matters. You see what we saw. Then you see the price. Then you decide.
FAQs
No, independent service does not automatically void a Nikro warranty, provided the work uses correct parts and procedures and does not modify factory specifications. We use OEM or equivalent-specification components and document part numbers in your job record. If your unit is under active Nikro warranty, we note this during intake and flag any repair that might affect coverage before proceeding. Call (470) 326-1926 if you need warranty status verified as part of your estimate.
Replacement becomes the better option when repair costs exceed 60% of replacement value and the unit has surpassed its rated service life, or when critical Nikro parts are obsolete. We provide both numbers in writing, the repair quote and the replacement price, with no pressure toward either option. Our recommendation is based on documented wear measurements, not age alone. Call (470) 326-1926 for a free second opinion if another company has already quoted replacement.
We maintain supplier relationships for discontinued Nikro lines including the PS800 series and early SL2000 negative air machines, though lead times vary from 3-14 days for obsolete components. When OEM parts are unavailable, we source quality aftermarket equivalents with matching specifications and disclose the origin in your written scope. We do not install unverified generic parts in Nikro equipment. Call (470) 326-1926 to check parts availability for your specific model.
Portable HEPA vacuums and negative air machines used in residential settings should be inspected annually, with filter and seal replacement every 12-18 months depending on runtime hours. Gas-powered units need seasonal carburetor inspection if fuel is stored between uses, particularly in Johns Creek’s humid climate where ethanol-phase separation accelerates. UV scrubber lamps should have output verified every 12 months, not just replaced on a schedule. We log service intervals in your customer file and contact you when maintenance is due. Call (470) 326-1926 to establish a maintenance record.
You receive a written scope of work, before-and-after photographs of the serviced components, a parts list with manufacturer or supplier names, test results where applicable, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. This is your job record, delivered before final payment, not emailed later. It is the same documentation Tomas Reyes has delivered on every job since 2013. Call (470) 326-1926 to schedule a Nikro service with full documentation.
