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.

AfterTrusted Air Duct Cleaning for Pearland Homeowners
Air duct cleaning in Pearland, TX typically costs $350-$850 for a complete residential system and takes 3-5 hours depending on home size and contamination level. CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning has delivered written upfront pricing and documented photo records on every job since 2013, serving more than 52,000 homes across Brazoria, Galveston, and Harris counties. Call (346) 253-1822 for a free written estimate with your exact price before any work begins.
Pearland’s rapid growth from 2010 to 2020 brought thousands of new construction homes to master-planned communities like Shadow Creek Ranch, Silverlake, and Lakes of Highland Glen. Those homes, along with the older stock in Old Pearland near Broadway Street and the subdivisions north of 518, share a common problem: construction debris, pollen, and Gulf Coast humidity create conditions inside ductwork that standard HVAC filters never reach. We’ve photographed 2-inch debris build-ups at plenum connections in 2019-built homes and heavy mold staining in returns on 40-year-old systems near Pearland Parkway. The camera doesn’t care about the year on the foundation.
Our crews work throughout Pearland’s full zip code range, from the 77581 corridor through 77584 and into the newer 77588 developments. Every visit includes a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, delivered to you as a standard job record. That practice has not changed since our first job in 2013.
What Our Air Duct Cleaning Service Includes
Residential Duct Cleaning
Residential duct cleaning covers the complete network of supply and return ducts, registers, and the main trunk lines that move conditioned air through your home. In Pearland, we most often see this service requested after renovation work, before allergy season peaks in March and October, or when new homeowners want to verify what the previous occupants left behind. CleanRun technicians use negative-pressure extraction, which pulls debris toward a collection unit rather than pushing it into your living space, and we photograph every run before and after so you can verify the work without crawling into the attic yourself.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Commercial duct cleaning addresses the larger-diameter systems found in retail spaces, medical offices, and multi-tenant buildings throughout Pearland’s commercial corridors along 288, 518, and FM 2234. These systems move higher volumes of air through longer runs and often contain materials not found in residential work, including fire-damper assemblies and grease-laden exhaust ducts. CleanRun holds the written price and photo documentation standards for commercial jobs identical to residential: Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the price in writing before work starts, regardless of building type or square footage.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts carry heated or cooled air from your air handler to each room, and they accumulate the debris that passes through or around your filter. In Pearland homes with fiberglass duct board common in 1990s construction, the porous surface can trap particles that metal ducts would shed. We clean supply duct runs individually, sealing registers during the process to maintain negative pressure throughout the system. The photo record shows each supply branch before and after, so you can see whether the contamination was surface dust or embedded material requiring additional agitation with a Rotobrush contact-cleaning system.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler for reconditioning, and because they operate at negative pressure, they collect larger debris that never reaches the filter. Pet hair, construction dust, and in some Pearland neighborhoods near agricultural areas, fine soil particles from nearby fields, all settle in return trunks and drop into the air handler cabinet. Return duct cleaning requires access to the main return plenum, the sheet-metal box that connects multiple return branches to the furnace or air handler. We inspect this junction with a borescope camera before cleaning, document any corrosion or separation, and include those images in your job record.
Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning combines supply and return duct cleaning with the components most companies skip: the air handler cabinet, blower wheel, evaporator coil (when accessible without refrigerant disturbance), and condensate pan. In Pearland’s humid climate, the condensate pan and adjacent ductwork are common locations for microbial growth that produces musty odors at system startup. Our full system cleaning includes photo documentation of each of these components, not just the visible registers. The price for a full system cleaning is always provided in writing before we remove the first panel, per Haven Standard Clause 1.
Video Inspection
Video inspection uses a borescope camera fed through the ductwork to document internal conditions without disassembly. We recommend this service when you suspect a specific problem, a blocked duct run, animal intrusion, or when you’re deciding whether full cleaning is necessary. In Pearland’s newer subdivisions, we’ve used video inspection to document construction debris left by builders that homeowners’ warranty claims require as evidence. The video file becomes part of your Documented Photo Record and can be reviewed with you on-site before any cleaning recommendation is made.

Brands We Service for Air Duct Cleaning
CleanRun technicians clean ductwork connected to every major HVAC brand installed in Pearland homes. We’ve serviced hundreds of Honeywell air cleaning systems and stock compatible media filters for their electronic and media air cleaners. Our crews regularly work with Aprilaire whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers, removing and cleaning the distribution tubing that runs from these units into the supply plenum. We’ve also maintained Abatement Technologies portable HEPA equipment for customers with acute respiratory concerns, integrating these standalone units with the central duct system for whole-house coverage.
Whether your system uses Rotobrush contact-cleaning compatibility for our equipment, Guardsman UV germicidal lamps in the air handler, or any other make, we can service the ductwork connected to it. The brand on your furnace or air handler does not restrict our ability to clean the ducts that serve it. Every job still receives the written price, the photo record, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Air Duct Cleaning Right Now
- Visible dust blowing from registers when the system starts. This indicates debris has accumulated downstream of the filter location, typically in supply ducts or the plenum. In Pearland, we see this most often in homes with 1-inch fiberglass filters that were changed infrequently or installed without proper sealing.
- Uneven heating or cooling between rooms on the same duct run. A partially blocked duct restricts airflow and creates temperature differences that your thermostat cannot resolve. We’ve photographed collapsed flex duct and heavy debris build-ups causing 15-degree temperature splits between rooms in Shadow Creek Ranch homes.
- Musty or moldy odors when the HVAC system cycles on. Odors indicate microbial growth somewhere in the system, most commonly the evaporator coil, condensate pan, or porous duct liner. Pearland’s average 75% summer humidity creates conditions for this growth even in well-maintained systems.
- Increased allergy symptoms or respiratory irritation indoors. While duct cleaning is not a medical treatment, removing accumulated pollen, pet dander, and dust mite debris reduces the reservoir of allergens recirculated by your HVAC system. We document what we remove so you can correlate any symptom changes with specific contamination levels.
- Recent renovation or construction work. Construction dust contains drywall compound, insulation fibers, and wood particles that standard filters do not capture. We’ve cleaned systems in Pearland’s newer developments where the builder’s initial startup circulated construction debris for months before the homeowner called us.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Process - Step by Step
- 1
Written Estimate and Scope Documentation. We arrive at your Pearland home, inspect the accessible ductwork and HVAC components, and provide a written price before any work begins. Haven Standard Clause 1 prohibits starting work without this document. The scope specifies which duct runs, which components, and what deliverables you’ll receive.
- 2
Register and Access Point Protection. Technicians lay protective coverings, seal registers not being cleaned to maintain system pressure integrity, and cut access holes in duct trunks where necessary. Every access point is photographed before cutting, and all cuts are sealed with code-compliant access panels after cleaning.
- 3
Negative-Pressure Extraction and Agitation. We connect a high-volume negative-pressure collection unit to your duct system, creating suction that pulls debris toward the collection point rather than pushing it into your home. Agitation tools, including Rotobrush contact-cleaning systems for fiberglass duct board, loosen adhered material for extraction.
- 4
Component Cleaning and Inspection. The air handler cabinet, blower wheel, and accessible coils are cleaned and inspected. We photograph each component before and after, noting any mechanical issues like corroded drain pans or separated duct seams that fall outside the cleaning scope but may need future attention.
- 5
Photo Record Delivery and Final Documentation. Before leaving your Pearland home, we compile the before-and-after images from every duct run and component into your Documented Photo Record. This file, along with your written scope and 365-Day Done Right Promise documentation, is delivered as a standard job record, not an optional add-on.
How Much Does Air Duct Cleaning Cost in Pearland?
A typical residential duct cleaning in Pearland runs $350-$650 for homes up to 2,500 square feet with standard fiberglass or metal duct systems. Full system cleaning, including the air handler and accessible coils, ranges from $550-$850 depending on system accessibility and contamination level. Commercial duct cleaning is priced per project based on linear footage, access difficulty, and whether the work must occur during off-hours to maintain business operations.
| Service Type | Typical Range in Pearland | What Affects Price |
|---|---|---|
| Residential Duct Cleaning (supplies and returns) | $350-$650 | Home size, duct material, number of registers |
| Full System Cleaning | $550-$850 | Coil accessibility, blower removal required, microbial treatment |
| Video Inspection Only | $150-$250 | Number of runs inspected, documentation format |
| Commercial Duct Cleaning | $800-$3,500+ | Linear footage, access type, scheduling constraints |
Several factors move prices within these ranges. Homes with duct board instead of metal require contact-cleaning methods that take longer per run. Systems with significant microbial growth may need EPA-registered sanitizers applied after mechanical cleaning. Multiple air handlers, common in larger Pearland homes with zoned systems, multiply the scope proportionally. What does not affect our price: the number of vents. We price per system, not per register, so a home with 12 vents and an identical home with 18 vents on the same duct configuration pay the same scope-based price.
The estimate is free and carries no obligation. We will also provide a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written estimate, placing our scope and price beside theirs so you can compare what is actually included. Call (346) 253-1822 for your written estimate.

Yes. We clean ductwork connected to all major HVAC and air quality brands, including Aprilaire, Honeywell, and systems with Rotobrush-compatible duct configurations. The brand on your equipment does not affect our ability to clean the ducts that serve it, and we stock common replacement media and components for brands we encounter frequently in Pearland homes.
We do not advertise emergency duct cleaning as a standard service because duct contamination is rarely an immediate safety hazard. We do offer priority video inspection for suspected blockages, post-water-damage assessment, and situations where airflow cessation has caused system shutdown. For genuine emergencies involving gas leaks or electrical hazards, we recommend contacting your utility or fire department first.
Every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right, we make it right, documented in writing on every job record, not subject to manager approval. Haven Standard Clause 5 requires this guarantee on every visit, residential or commercial. The Documented Photo Record provides the evidence base for any warranty claim.
Clear a path to your HVAC equipment and the registers in each room; remove fragile items from shelves near duct access points. We handle all protective coverings, register sealing, and equipment protection. If you have pets, securing them in a separate room prevents stress from the equipment noise and ensures crew safety under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
