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 Arlington
Air duct cleaning in Arlington typically runs $380-$720 for a full residential system, and every job starts with a written price delivered before any panel comes off. We’re the crew that shows up to neighborhoods from Pantego to south Arlington with a camera, a scope, and a quote already in hand - not a vacuum hose and a coupon.
Our dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but our crews live in and around Arlington. We know the difference between a 1983 split-level near Matlock Road with original grey duct board and a 2015 build in Viridian with flex duct that’s already showing stress from the same clay soil. That local knowledge changes what we bring, what we expect to find, and what we quote. Call (469) 405-6133 for a written estimate - we’ll schedule a time that works, show up in a marked van, and send you a photo record of every duct run before we leave.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Dallas Is Arlington’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Arlington since we opened in 2013, and the pattern here is distinct from our work in Grand Prairie or Grapevine. Arlington’s housing stock - dense tracts of 1970s and 1980s slab-on-grade homes built during the post-Six Flags boom - produces a specific set of duct failures we now expect and plan for. Our Air Duct Cleaning team has documented over 52,000 homes, and a disproportionate share of our plenum-sealing and joint-repair work happens right here.
Our reviews from Arlington customers consistently mention the photo record. They expected a vacuum job. They got dated, labeled before-and-after images of every duct run, delivered as a standard job record - Haven Standard Clause 2, Documented Photo Record on Every Visit. No manager approval needed. No extra charge.
Response time to Arlington is same-day or next-day for standard scheduling, not because we rush but because we maintain crews in the corridor. Tight attic scuttles in older infill near UT Arlington, restricted parking at multifamily properties off Cooper Street - we’ve navigated these before. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Arlington

Residential Duct Cleaning
Arlington’s residential core is dominated by 1965-1990 suburban tract construction, much of it built during the city’s rapid post-Six Flags boom. The original fiberglass duct board or early-generation flex duct systems in these homes are at or well past their 15-25 year service life. We perform source removal under negative-pressure extraction (a sealed vacuum system that pulls debris out without releasing it into your home) using Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. In south and central Arlington neighborhoods built between 1972 and 1984, we frequently find the original grey fiberglass duct board delaminating at every seam and shedding glass microfibers into the air stream - a direct consequence of decades of thermal stress in 140-160°F attics combined with foundation movement from the local clay soil.

Commercial Duct Cleaning
Arlington’s commercial base includes retail strips along Interstate 20, medical offices near Arlington Memorial, and the dense apartment complexes surrounding UT Arlington. The high renter population near campus concentrates older, deferred-maintenance buildings with heavily contaminated duct systems rarely cleaned between tenants. We schedule around business hours, coordinate with property managers for roof access, and provide the same written price and photo documentation as our residential work. For shared-building systems, we map the full duct network before starting - critical in converted 1970s office buildings where original zoning doesn’t match current use.

Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Arlington, these runs are where we most often find the evidence of foundation stress: cracks at duct board seams, flex duct pulled loose from collars, and attic debris being drawn into gaps. We clean each supply run with agitation tools and negative-pressure extraction, then photograph the interior. If we find joint separation, we flag it in writing - because a cleaned supply duct with an unsealed plenum leak will re-contaminate within a season.

Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the handler for reconditioning. In Arlington’s older homes, these are often the dirtiest runs because they’re the entry point for attic air when plenum seals fail. We were called to a 1979 single-story on Sherry Street in central Arlington where the homeowner reported dusty air and a 20% jump in summer electric bills. Pulling the air handler closet panel, our tech found the original grey fiberglass duct board delaminating at the plenum and a flex run pulled loose from its collar - attic insulation fibers were being drawn straight into the return. We sealed the joints, performed source removal under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and the static pressure at the return dropped noticeably before we left.

Full System Cleaning
This is our most common request in Arlington, and for good reason. A full system cleaning covers supply ducts, return ducts, the plenum (the central distribution box), registers, and the air handler cabinet. Given the age of Arlington’s housing stock and the clay-soil foundation movement that cracks seams and pulls joints, partial cleanings often miss the root problem. We include a video inspection of accessible trunk lines so you see what we see - not a marketing video, your actual ducts.

Video Inspection
We push a self-leveling camera through accessible duct runs and record the footage. In Arlington, this tool pays for itself in diagnostic value. Homeowners watching live on a tablet can see delaminating duct board, joint gaps, or debris build-up at the first elbow - the exact location, not a generic “before” stock photo. The video becomes part of your job record, stored with the photo documentation.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Arlington
Our equipment roster includes Nikro negative-air machines, Honeywell media filters, and Aprilaire whole-home air cleaners - brands you can look up independently before agreeing to a price. We stock common Arlington replacement parts locally: flex duct collars, mastic sealant rated for North Texas attic temperatures, and plenum repair panels sized for the original duct board dimensions found in 1970s-1980s Arlington tracts. That local inventory means if we find a separable joint during your cleaning, we can often seal it same-day rather than scheduling a return visit. We do not upsell equipment. We document what we find, quote the repair in writing, and proceed only with approval.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Arlington Homes

- Clay-soil foundation movement cracks duct board seams and pulls flex duct off plenums. Arlington sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay that swells and shrinks with seasonal moisture. The micro-shifts crack duct board seams and pull flex duct joints loose at plenums, so cleaned systems re-contaminate within a season unless joints are re-sealed during the visit.
- Dense apartment and condo stacks near UT Arlington share dryer vent runs through a single chase. Deferred-maintenance complexes rarely clean the full lint pathway, only the trap, leaving a fire-risk load behind the wall. We scope the full run and document the blockage depth before quoting removal.
- Restricted parking and tight attic scuttle access in older Arlington infill and multifamily properties. These conditions force crews to run smaller truck-mount or portable equipment, which can under-power negative pressure if not sized correctly. We match the machine to the access, not the other way around.
- Original grey fiberglass duct board delaminating after decades of 140-160°F attic cycling. In south and central Arlington neighborhoods built 1972-1984, this material is actively shedding glass microfibers into the air stream - a problem specific to the combination of thermal stress and local soil geology, not just age.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington, TX
A typical Residential Duct Cleaning in Arlington runs $380-$550 for a single-system home up to 2,500 square feet. Full System Cleaning, including supply and return ducts, plenum, registers, and air handler cabinet, ranges $520-$720. Commercial Duct Cleaning starts at $680 and scales with system complexity and access constraints. Video Inspection added to any service is $180-$240.
What moves the number: duct material (fiberglass duct board requires more careful handling than metal), accessibility (tight scuttles add labor), and whether we find separable joints that need re-sealing during the visit. We do not quote per-vent. We do not offer teaser coupons. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Arlington

Arlington’s 1965-1990 slab-on-grade tract homes sit on Blackland Prairie expansive clay that swells and shrinks with seasonal moisture, so foundation micro-shifts routinely crack duct board seams and pull flex duct joints loose at plenums. A standard cleaning without joint inspection and re-sealing leaves those gaps open, meaning attic air, insulation fibers, and new debris re-enter the system within weeks. We photograph every joint and quote sealing in writing if needed. Call (469) 405-6133 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes, but the scope depends on building access and management approval. Dense apartment and condo stacks near UT Arlington share dryer vent runs through a single chase, and deferred-maintenance complexes rarely clean the full lint pathway behind the wall. We scope the full run from the roof cap or termination point, document the blockage depth, and provide a written quote for complete source removal - not just trap cleaning. Coordinate with your property manager first; we’ll work with their schedule. Call (469) 405-6133 to discuss access.
NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) standards require source removal - physical dislodgment and extraction of contaminants, not just vacuuming registers. Our process: seal the system, attach a negative-air machine to the trunk line, agitate debris with rotating brushes or compressed air tools, and extract under continuous HEPA-filtered vacuum. In Arlington, we add joint inspection because the local clay soil makes plenum separation common. Every step is photographed. The photo record is yours, included standard. Call (469) 405-6133 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
The musty smell usually means moisture is entering the duct system through unsealed joints or cracks, creating conditions for microbial growth that a surface cleaning won’t address. In Arlington, clay-soil foundation movement makes this especially common - cracked plenum seams pull humid attic air into the return, and that humidity cycles through the system. We find the entry point with video inspection, seal it, then clean. If microbial growth is present, we quote sanitizing separately - never as a hidden add-on. Call (469) 405-6133 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Every 3-5 years for standard occupancy, but every 2-3 years if you have pets, allergies, or visible dust accumulation at registers. Arlington’s original grey fiberglass duct board is now 40-50 years old, delaminating at seams, and shedding fibers - condition matters more than calendar time. We include a condition assessment with every cleaning and will tell you if the duct material itself needs replacement, not just cleaning. Call (469) 405-6133 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
