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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Fresno
Air duct cleaning in Fresno, TX typically runs $380-$720 for a complete residential system and includes a documented photo record of every duct run before and after. Most Fresno homes need this service every 3-5 years, though properties with flex duct tape failures or post-Harvey moisture intrusion often require earlier intervention with video inspection to scope hidden damage.
We serve Fresno from our Houston office, with crews running daily routes through Fort Bend County. Whether you’re in Hunters Glen, Ridgemont, or off FM 521 near the Fresno Town Center, we quote a written price before any work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1 - and every job ends with a camera-verified photo record. Call (346) 421-3357 for a free estimate.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Sugar Land Is Fresno’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Fresno homeowners have seen enough of the $79 coupon crews. We don’t send a shop-vac and a fogger. Our Air Duct Cleaning team arrives with Rotobrush agitation systems, Nikro HEPA-negative-pressure extractors, and a written scope that specifies exactly which duct runs will be cleaned, photographed, and resealed.
Since 2013, we’ve documented every job with before-and-after photos inside every duct run - not marketing claims, but deliverables the customer receives. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every Fresno invoice, not buried in a policy manual. Technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and you’ll get their names before they arrive.
We know Fresno’s housing stock. The subdivisions built between 1995 and 2015 - Hunters Glen, Ridgemont, the corridors off FM 521 and Highway 6 - share a specific vulnerability: flex duct connections at the plenum secured with tape that fails in 140°F attic heat. We’ve found this in enough Fresno attics that we now scope every plenum connection with a video inspection before quoting the full scope.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Fresno
Residential Duct Cleaning
Fresno’s slab-on-grade tract homes, almost all built 1995-2015, route every duct through unconditioned attics. That design choice means supply and return runs sit in 140°F heat half the year and breathe Gulf Coast humidity the rest. Our residential service pulls the entire system under negative pressure - that’s suction that contains debris so it doesn’t escape into your living space - then runs mechanical agitation tools through each duct run to dislodge buildup the vacuum alone won’t touch. We photograph the interior of every run before and after. The customer receives the photo record as a standard deliverable, not an upsell.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Fresno’s commercial footprint is growing - medical offices near Highway 6, retail along FM 521, the industrial corridors pushing toward Manvel. These systems face the same humidity load as residential, but with higher occupancy and more stringent indoor air standards. We scale our negative-pressure extraction to the building’s CFM requirements and document compliance photography for facilities managers who need records for insurance or regulatory review. Written pricing is delivered before any ceiling tiles come down.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry conditioned air to your rooms. In Fresno, these runs are where we most often find the tape-failure problem - cooled air leaking into the attic, the system working harder to hit thermostat setpoints, and energy bills climbing without explanation. Our supply cleaning includes video inspection of each register drop and plenum connection. If we find separated tape joints, we document them, reconnect with proper metal clamps, and seal before cleaning begins. The price for this correction is written into the scope before work starts.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler. In Fresno homes, these larger trunk lines often show the heaviest debris load - they’re the intake path, and any gap in the return plenum is pulling unfiltered attic air straight into your system. After Harvey, we saw return trunks in Fresno that had wicked flood moisture through slab penetrations, creating mold colonies in the flex lining that circulated spores every time the AC cycled. Our return cleaning includes full trunk inspection, HEPA-filtered extraction, and photo documentation of any moisture damage we find.
Full System Cleaning
This is what most Fresno homes actually need. A full system cleaning addresses supply runs, return trunks, the plenum (the central distribution box where ducts connect), and the air handler cabinet. We recommend this for any Fresno home that hasn’t had documented duct cleaning in 3+ years, or for properties with known Harvey moisture exposure, visible mold at registers, or rising utility bills that suggest leakage. The scope is written, priced, and signed before we remove the first panel.
Video Inspection
We won’t quote a full cleaning for a Fresno home without first running a video inspection. The camera shows what the homeowner can’t see: collapsed flex duct, separated tape joints, moisture staining in the lining, or debris buildup at elbows where airflow drops. The inspection itself is a standalone service, but most Fresno customers roll it into the full cleaning scope once they see what’s actually inside their ducts. The footage becomes part of your documented photo record.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Fresno
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush mechanical agitation systems, Nikro HEPA-negative-pressure extractors, and Honeywell media filters - brands any Fresno homeowner can look up and verify. We don’t use consumer-grade shop vacs or unlabeled fogging chemicals. If your system needs filtration upgrades after cleaning, we specify Guardman and Aprilaire media cabinets with MERV ratings appropriate to your home’s humidity load and attic conditions. Parts for common Fresno installations are stocked locally, so filter upgrades or plenum repairs don’t delay your job.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Fresno Homes
- Tape-failed plenum connections. Builders in Fresno’s 1995-2015 subdivisions commonly secured flex duct with tape rather than metal clamps. That tape degrades in 140°F attic heat, and we’ve found fully separated supply runs in Hunters Glen and Ridgemont homes where conditioned air has been dumping into the attic for years.
- Post-Harvey moisture wicking. Floodwater that entered Fresno homes in 2017 wicked into slab penetrations and attic ductwork. Even where the living space was remediated, duct liners often retained moisture that fed mold colonies now circulating spores through the system.
- Condensation-sweating supply ducts. Fresno’s 80-90% summer humidity hits attic ductwork hard. Where insulation has compressed or torn, cold supply lines sweat, and that moisture soaks into the flex lining. We’ve camera-inspected ducts where the interior lining was visibly water-stained and microbially active.
- Fogging upsells that leave debris in place. Competitors sometimes offer a “sanitiser fog” as an add-on. The chemical coats the duct surface but doesn’t remove the mold-feeding debris or the moisture that sustains it. In Fresno’s humidity, that debris stays wet and the mold returns within months. Source removal - mechanical agitation and negative-pressure extraction - is the only approach that addresses the actual problem.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno
Yes - Harvey moisture is one risk factor among several in Fresno, not the only one. The tape-only flex duct connections common in 1995-2015 builds, the 140°F attic heat degrading those connections, and the 80-90% humidity that sweats supply ducts all create independent reasons for debris accumulation and microbial growth. We’ve found active mold in Fresno ducts where the home never took floodwater. Call (346) 421-3357 for a video inspection that shows what’s actually inside your system.
A fogging treatment coats the interior duct surface with an antimicrobial chemical but does not remove the debris, dust, or moisture that feeds mold colonies. In Fresno’s humidity, that debris stays wet inside the flex lining, and mold regrows within months. We don’t sell fogging as a standalone service because it doesn’t solve the problem our customers call about. Source removal - mechanical agitation and negative-pressure extraction - is the only method we offer, and it’s the only one that removes the material mold needs to survive. Call (346) 421-3357 for a scope that specifies actual cleaning, not coating.
These subdivisions were built during Fresno’s peak construction period, when tape-only plenum connections were standard builder practice. That tape fails predictably in 140°F attic heat. In Hunters Glen, our tech opened the plenum on a 2006 home and found the original flex runs attached with nothing but failed tape - three supply runs had fully separated and were blowing into the attic. We documented the disconnections with a camera inspection, reconnected and clamped every run, then ran agitation tools and HEPA filtration under negative pressure to pull the accumulated attic debris and mold spores out of the system. The blower motor amp draw dropped back to spec after we cleared the return side, which told the homeowner the system had been working against a blocked, leaking duct for years. Call (346) 421-3357 if your home is in this vintage; we’ll scope the plenum before quoting.
Rising energy bills, rooms that won’t cool evenly, excessive dust at registers, or a system that runs continuously without reaching setpoint are all signals. But the only way to confirm is a video inspection of the plenum and trunk connections. We offer this as a standalone service with documented footage you can review. If we find leakage, the repair scope and price are written before any reconnection work begins. Call (346) 421-3357 to schedule.
Most Fresno homes with standard 1-inch filter slots should use MERV 8-11 - high enough to capture pollen and mold spores, not so restrictive that it strains the blower motor in an already-leaky duct system. If we find your ducts are well-sealed during cleaning, we may recommend a Guardman or Aprilaire media cabinet upgrade to MERV 13, which requires a 4-5 inch filter slot and matched fan capacity. We never recommend a filter upgrade without first verifying the duct system can handle the static pressure. The right filter for your specific system is specified in your written scope. Call (346) 421-3357 and we’ll check.
