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 Denton
Air duct cleaning in Denton, TX typically runs $380-$780 for a whole-home residential system and is scheduled within 3-5 business days, with crews dispatched from our Dallas-Fort Worth coordination office. We serve Denton homeowners from the historic square out to the rural fringe along Old Alton Road and the county-line roads, and we bring trunk-mounted Rotobrush and Nikro negative-pressure systems sized for both city lots and long caliche drives. Call (940) 240-8552 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Lewisville Is Denton’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been serving Denton since 2013 under the Haven Standard, and our Air Duct Cleaning team has documented photo records from more than 52,000 homes to date. Denton customers get the same protocol: a written price before a single panel comes off, background-checked uniformed technicians identified by name before arrival, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing on every job.
Our crews know the difference between a 2019 build in Rayzor Ranch and a 1962 pier-and-beam rental near Fry Street that has cycled through forty UNT tenants. That local housing knowledge changes what we expect to find, what equipment we load, and how we scope the job. Haven Standard Clause 3, Verified Crews, means the technician who arrives has been vetted and trained specifically on the equipment roster we name, including Rotobrush agitation systems and Nikro HEPA-filtered extractors.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but Denton is a primary service zone with dedicated route days. We don’t charge mileage premiums for rural properties off FM 720 or the caliche roads south of Corinth; the written price covers the drive, the setup, and the full documented cleaning.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Denton
Residential Duct Cleaning
Denton’s housing stock splits hard between aging university-corridor rentals and newer tract subdivisions, and our residential protocol adapts to both. In the 1950s-1980s homes near Hickory Street and Mulberry, we regularly find original galvanized boots corroded through and flex duct sagging off takeoffs after decades without service. In Rayzor Ranch and Robson Ranch builds, post-construction debris and drywall dust in the duct runs are the more common finds. Every residential job includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered as a standard part of the job record, not an upsell.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Denton’s commercial base includes UNT and TWU campus buildings, medical offices along Teasley Lane, and retail along I-35E. Commercial systems run larger plenums and more complex zone controls, and they require scheduled downtime coordination. We scope commercial jobs with a video inspection first, then deliver a written price that accounts for access constraints, containment requirements, and the negative-pressure extraction setup needed to protect occupied spaces during cleaning.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms, and in Denton they take a beating. Attic temperatures above 140°F from May through September degrade flex duct adhesive and loosen debris into the air stream. Spring pollen loads, especially mountain cedar and oak, coat the interior surfaces of supply runs in homes that haven’t been cleaned in years. Our supply cleaning uses mechanical agitation under negative pressure to break the bond between debris and duct wall, then HEPA-filtered extraction to remove it rather than redistribute it.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts are the intake side, and in Denton they’re where the real loading happens. Rural properties on caliche and gravel drives pull fine red North Texas soil into return plenums at rates that urban homeowners don’t experience. Wood-heat households get a sticky wood-ash and creosote film that bonds to galvanized boots. Return duct cleaning is not a vacuum-and-brush pass; it requires proper agitation and negative-pressure extraction to lift material that has adhered over multiple heating seasons. We photograph the return plenum before and after so you can see the difference.
Full System Cleaning
A full system cleaning in Denton means every supply run, every return run, the plenum, the blower assembly, and the coil if accessible. For rural properties with wood heat and caliche drive loading, this is the only approach that resets the system rather than just moving debris around. We size the equipment to the job, and for long rural drives we verify vacuum and airflow at the machine before starting work. A partial cleaning on a heavily loaded system is worse than no cleaning, because it disturbs debris without removing it.
Video Inspection
Our video inspection service uses a camera-equipped scope to document the interior condition of duct runs before we quote a price. In Denton’s older rental housing near campus, the camera often reveals corrosion, disconnected flex, or debris build-up that changes the scope and the price. We show you the footage, explain what we’re seeing, and then deliver a written price based on actual conditions, not a flat-rate guess. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires this: no work starts without a written price agreed in advance.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Denton
CleanRun crews operate professional-grade equipment from trade-recognized brands: Rotobrush agitation systems for mechanical debris breakup, Nikro HEPA-filtered negative-pressure extractors for containment and removal, and Honeywell media filters for post-cleaning air handling upgrades. We stock Guardsman filter media and replacement components for common Denton installations, so filter upgrades and minor hardware replacements happen on the same visit rather than scheduling a return trip. Customers can verify every brand independently, and we name them specifically so you know what you’re paying for.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Denton Homes
- Red soil infiltration on rural properties. Caliche and gravel drives on Denton’s fringe kick up fine red sandy soil that loads return ducts faster than city intervals can handle. A system cleaned on a five-year city schedule is effectively re-fouled within 18-24 months in these conditions.
- Wood-ash and creosote bonding in wood-heat households. Along county-line roads and near Lake Ray Roberts, families heating with wood stoves or inserts get a sticky film that standard shop-vac passes won’t lift. Mechanical agitation under negative pressure is required to break the bond and extract the material.
- Outbuilding systems skipped during house calls. Detached shops, barns, and converted garages around Denton’s rural fringe almost never get cleaned when the main house does, so the mini-split or ducted run keeps recirculating outdoor grit while the house gets a fresh start.
- Flex duct degradation in aging student rentals. Homes near UNT and TWU with original 1970s-1980s flex duct have sagging runs, disconnected takeoffs, and plenums caked with accumulated debris from successive tenant generations. Cleaning without repairing the underlying degradation is temporary at best.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Denton, TX
A typical residential full system cleaning in Denton runs $380-$580 for homes up to 2,500 square feet with 8-12 duct runs, and $580-$780 for larger homes or systems with heavier debris loading requiring extended agitation time. Commercial duct cleaning starts at $850 and scales with plenum size, access difficulty, and containment requirements. Video inspection as a standalone service is $125-$175, waived if you proceed with the recommended cleaning.
What moves the price: number of duct runs, accessibility of the plenum and blower, presence of wood-ash or heavy soil loading requiring additional agitation cycles, and whether outbuilding systems are included in the same visit. We do not price per vent. The written price covers the whole system, agreed before work starts, with no additions once the crew is on site. Free estimates are available at your Denton property, and we offer a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written estimate.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Denton
For rural Denton properties on caliche or gravel drives, we recommend a 24-30 month cleaning interval rather than the standard five-year city recommendation. The fine red North Texas soil load is simply too high for longer intervals; we’ve opened return plenums at 36 months that looked worse than urban systems at eight years. Call (940) 240-8552 and we’ll scope your system to set an interval based on actual loading, not a generic calendar.
Yes, wood heat changes both the debris type and the cleaning method required. The wood-ash and creosote film that builds up in supply boots and flex duct bonds to metal and plastic surfaces, and a standard brush pass won’t break that bond. Our crews use mechanical agitation under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, and we inspect for heat-exchanger sooting that might indicate a combustion safety issue. Call (940) 240-8552 for a written estimate that accounts for wood-heat loading.
Outbuilding systems should absolutely be included, and we’re explicit about this because most competitors skip them. The shop mini-split or ducted run pulls from the same dusty environment and recirculates grit into your workspace; cleaning the house while leaving the shop fouled makes no sense. We scope outbuilding systems during the same visit and add them to the written price if accessible. Call (940) 240-8552 to discuss your outbuilding setup.
The drive affects equipment sizing, not quality. Long hose runs from a standard van-mounted unit lose vacuum and airflow before reaching remote takeoffs, so we size the negative-pressure extractor to the job’s altitude and run length. For rural Denton properties, we verify machine performance at the farthest register before starting work. The written price includes this setup time; you don’t pay extra for proper equipment. Call (940) 240-8552 to schedule.
For Denton’s extreme oak, elm, and mountain cedar pollen loads, we recommend MERV 11-13 pleated media if your air handler can handle the static pressure, with a minimum of MERV 8 for standard systems. Higher ratings trap more pollen but can strain older blowers; we check amp draw and static pressure during the cleaning visit and recommend the appropriate filter upgrade. The Documented Photo Record shows you what was in your ducts, and the filter recommendation is based on your specific system’s capacity. Call (940) 240-8552 for a filter assessment with your cleaning.
