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 Fort Worth

Residential Duct Cleaning
Fort Worth’s housing stock splits into two eras that demand different approaches. In Wedgwood, Polytechnic Heights, and Como, we regularly open systems that haven’t been touched since the Johnson administration, with decades of Cross Timbers dust packed into galvanized runs. In Alliance, Saginaw, and Haslet, we’re cleaning flex-duct systems that were rushed to completion in the 1990s-2000s build boom and have spent twenty-plus years baking in attics that routinely exceed 140°F. Our residential cleans include negative-pressure extraction, which means we seal the system and pull debris out under controlled suction so nothing dumps into your living space during the job.

Commercial Duct Cleaning
Fort Worth’s commercial base runs from historic buildings in the Near Southside to medical offices near Harris Methodist and retail along Camp Bowie Boulevard. Commercial systems face higher particulate loads from traffic on I-30 and I-35W corridors, plus the constant cycling that Fort Worth’s 100°F summer days demand. We clean commercial supply and return networks with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for larger plenum, the main distribution box that feeds your duct runs. Every commercial job includes the same written price guarantee and photo documentation as our residential work.

Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air to your registers, the vent covers in each room. In Fort Worth’s older homes, we find supply runs partially blocked by collapsed insulation, debris dams at elbows, and in one Wedgwood ranch, a dead bird that had been reducing airflow to a master bedroom for three years. Supply duct cleaning without video inspection is guesswork. We run a camera first. Then we quote. Then we clean.

Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to your air handler for reconditioning. They’re your system’s lungs, and in Fort Worth they’re often the dirtiest part because they operate under negative pressure, which means any gap in the return path sucks in attic air, garage fumes, or crawlspace debris. In Polytechnic Heights and the historic North Side, we regularly find return plenums with original cloth-backed tape that has disintegrated to flakes, turning the attic into an unfiltered intake. Return Duct Cleaning here isn’t complete without sealing those intrusion points. We clean first, then we seal with mastic and mesh. The photo record shows both.

Full System Cleaning
Our most common request in Fort Worth. A Full System Cleaning covers supply runs, return runs, the plenum, and the air handler cabinet. For homes with the twin-era problems Fort Worth stacks, this is usually the right scope. The 1960s sheet-metal system in Ridglea needs agitation tools to break loose decades of packed dust before sealing makes sense. The 2003 flex-duct system in Keller needs inspection for crushed runs and degraded liners before any cleaning starts. We quote the full scope in writing, perform the work, and deliver before-and-after photos of every run.

Video Inspection
Every Full System Cleaning includes video inspection as standard. We don’t guess. The camera shows us a 3-inch debris build-up at the first elbow, a flex duct crushed behind the air handler, or a seam that’s been open since the first Bush administration. In Fort Worth’s older neighborhoods, video inspection often reveals that cleaning alone won’t solve the problem, and we’d rather show you that before we quote than after we’ve started. Haven Standard Clause 1: Written Price Before Any Work Starts. The video makes that price accurate.

CleanRun crews in Fort Worth work with professional-grade equipment from Abatement Technologies, Rotobrush, and Guardsman, brands any homeowner can look up and verify.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Fort Worth Homes

- Disintegrated cloth-backed tape on 1940s-60s galvanized joints. In Polytechnic Heights, Como, and the historic North Side near the Stockyards, we regularly find original duct tape that has dried to flakes, leaving open seams pumping conditioned air straight into attic space while sucking in unfiltered dust. The fix is sealing with mastic and mesh after source removal, not just vacuuming around the problem.
- Decades of packed Cross Timbers and Blackland Prairie dust in postwar sheet metal. Wedgwood and Ridglea Hills homes built 1955-1975 often have original or once-replaced galvanized runs that have never been properly cleaned. The dust is fine, calcareous, and packed hard. Agitation tools break it loose before negative-pressure extraction can remove it. Cleaning without agitation leaves most of the debris behind.
- Sagging, partially crushed flex duct in 1990s-2000s production homes. The Alliance corridor, Saginaw, and Haslet subdivisions were built fast with flex-duct systems that have now spent twenty-plus summers in attics exceeding 150°F. Plastic liners degrade. Connections loosen. Ducts sag between supports and crush at bends. Video inspection catches what a register-level glance never will.
- Debris intrusion through gaps created by thermal cycling. Fort Worth’s summer attic temperatures swing from ambient to 140°F+ daily, expanding and contracting duct-board seams and flex-duct connections faster than in milder markets. Small installation gaps become significant debris entry points within a decade. The dust load here is grittier and heavier than Dallas because of our position at the eastern edge of the Cross Timbers, with wind-borne sandy and calcareous soils pushing through any opening.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Worth

Cleaning alone is rarely enough for original 1960s galvanized systems in Wedgwood. In our experience, the cloth-backed tape on those joints has fully disintegrated, so the seams are open and any debris we remove will be replaced within months by attic dust pulled through the gaps. We video inspect first. If the seams are open, we quote cleaning plus sealing with mastic and mesh. The photo record shows you the before condition, the open seams, and the sealed result. Call (817) 520-8797 and we’ll put a written scope in your hands.
Alliance-area production homes from the 1990s-2000s were built with flex-duct systems that are now 20-30 years old, and Fort Worth’s attic temperatures have degraded the plastic liners faster than the builders anticipated. Sagging ducts, crushed connections, and loosened seals create debris accumulation points that didn’t exist when the system was new. Cleaning at this age is often the first step before sealing or partial replacement. We catch the structural problems with video inspection and quote accordingly. Call (817) 520-8797 for a written estimate.
No. Negative-pressure extraction seals your duct system and pulls debris out under controlled suction through a single extraction point, with HEPA filtration so nothing escapes into your living space. Vacuuming at the register is surface cleaning that doesn’t reach past the first few feet of each run and can actually push debris deeper. Our equipment from Abatement Technologies and Rotobrush is sized for full-system source removal, not register-level tidying. The photo record shows the difference.
Fort Worth sits at the eastern edge of the Cross Timbers region, with drier air and heavier wind-borne particulate than Dallas. Calcareous and sandy soils to the west push gritty, abrasive dust into home systems through any gap or leaky return. Dallas’s denser, more uniformly redeveloped inner neighborhoods don’t have the same concentration of original postwar duct systems or the same rapid-build flex-duct corridors. Fort Worth’s twin-era housing split, older stock in Wedgwood and Ridglea against 1990s-2000s Alliance builds, stacks two different failure modes in one service area. That pattern is specific to Fort Worth.
Most Fort Worth systems don’t need full replacement. Original 1950s-70s sheet metal in Polytechnic Heights or the North Side is structurally sound; it needs source removal, agitation to break loose packed dust, and proper sealing with mastic and mesh. Flex duct in Alliance or Saginaw may need partial replacement of crushed or degraded sections, which we catch on video and quote specifically. Full replacement is the exception, not the rule. We show you what the camera found and give you a written price for each option. Call (817) 520-8797 for a Free Second Opinion if another company has already recommended replacement.
