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 Littleton
Air duct cleaning in Littleton typically runs $380-$680 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single scheduled visit. Our crews are dispatched from the Denver office and serve Littleton homeowners daily, carrying the equipment to handle everything from routine maintenance cleans to the extensive sealing work that 40-year-old duct systems often need.
We know the difference between a Littleton home built in 2020 and one built in 1982. The former usually needs a straightforward source removal. The latter, especially in Ken Caryl Ranch or along the Columbine corridor, frequently presents delaminated fiberglass duct board, disconnected flex runs in crawlspaces, and decades of Front Range dust accumulation that a basic brush-and-vacuum pass won’t address. Our Air Duct Cleaning team arrives with Rotobrush agitation tools, Nikro negative-pressure extractors, and the mastic and foil tape to seal what we find. Call (720) 799-2292 for a written estimate before any work starts.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Littleton
Residential Duct Cleaning
Littleton’s dominant housing stock - ranch, split-level, and two-story tract homes built 1979-1990 in Ken Caryl Ranch, Columbine, and Bow Mar - presents a specific challenge. Original fiberglass duct board lining has often spent 40-plus years collecting debris, and in many cases the interior surface has begun to delaminate. Our residential cleans begin with a video inspection to determine whether the system needs standard source removal or whether seam sealing is required to prevent fiberglass fiber migration into the living space. We use Rotobrush agitation tools paired with Nikro negative-pressure extraction, and every run is photographed before and after.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Littleton’s commercial base includes medical offices along Broadway, retail at Southwest Plaza, and professional services near Historic Downtown. These facilities require scheduled maintenance that doesn’t disrupt operations. We work after-hours and weekends, providing the same written upfront pricing and documented photo record as our residential jobs. Equipment includes Abatement Technologies HEPA-filtered negative air machines for occupied spaces.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts deliver conditioned air to your registers, but in Littleton’s older homes they also deliver whatever has accumulated in the system. Our supply duct service uses mechanical agitation to loosen debris from duct walls, followed by negative-pressure extraction that pulls it out of the system entirely. In 1980s Littleton homes, we regularly find that supply runs have never been cleaned, resulting in heavy buildup at elbows and transitions where airflow changes direction.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in Littleton they pull in more than air. Chinook wind events drive fine particulates through exterior gaps, and older return-side systems in Ken Caryl Ranch crawlspaces often have leaks that draw in dust, wildfire smoke residue, and crawlspace air. Cleaning the return side without sealing these leaks is temporary at best. Our return duct service includes inspection for leakage points and documentation of what we find.
Full System Cleaning
A full system clean addresses supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler cabinet, and the blower motor assembly. In Littleton’s climate, this matters more than in flatter suburbs. The semi-arid conditions at 5,350 feet keep dust suspended longer, and the blower motor re-contaminates freshly cleaned ducts if it’s not addressed. Our full system service includes cleaning the blower wheel and evaporator coil area, with photo documentation of each component.
Video Inspection
Video inspection reveals what a flashlight at the register cannot. In a 1983 split-level on South Alkire Street in Ken Caryl Ranch, our tech found bluish fiberglass dust on registers after every filter change. The camera showed delaminated duct board along the main trunk seams - a hidden air-quality hazard the homeowner had no idea existed. Video inspection is included as standard on every Littleton job where access allows, and the footage becomes part of your documented job record.

CleanRun technicians carry professional-grade equipment from trade-recognized brands: Rotobrush and Nikro for duct agitation and extraction, Abatement Technologies for HEPA filtration and negative air, Honeywell and Aprilaire for air quality components. These are not proprietary names - customers can look up specifications independently. For Littleton homeowners with Aprilaire or Honeywell whole-house air cleaners integrated into their duct systems, we stock common replacement media and can service the unit during the same visit. Parts availability means no waiting on shipped components for standard maintenance.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Littleton Homes
- Duct board delamination in 1979-1990 homes. The original fiberglass duct board used in Ken Caryl Ranch and Columbine construction has often separated along interior seams. A basic vacuum-and-brush pass won’t fix this - it needs mastic sealing to prevent fiberglass fiber migration into occupied spaces.
- Return-side leaks pulling in foothill dust and wildfire residue. Crawlspace and attic return pathways in older Littleton homes draw in outdoor particulates that MERV-rated filters alone cannot capture. Cleaning without sealing these leaks leaves the root cause intact.
- Disconnected or crushed flex duct runs. Behind finished walls and in unconditioned attics, 40-year-old flex duct has often separated at connections or been crushed by storage or rodent activity. Agitation tools and negative pressure can’t reach these areas without cutting an access panel.
- Air handler and blower motor re-contamination. Running a clean without addressing the blower wheel and evaporator coil means the freshly cleaned supply and return ducts are contaminated again on the first heat cycle. This is standard in our full system service.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Littleton
Because the original 1979-1990 fiberglass duct board in Ken Caryl Ranch and Columbine has frequently delaminated along interior seams, and vacuuming around loose fiberglass liner doesn’t stop it from shedding into your living space. The cleaning process itself reveals the damage, and Haven Standard Clause 1 requires that we document it and offer to seal it with mastic and foil tape before putting the system back in service. Call (720) 799-2292 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes. Littleton’s position directly below the Front Range makes it ground zero for Chinook-driven dust surges that push fine particulates into return-air pathways at a rate flatter eastern suburbs don’t experience. The area’s recurring wildfire smoke exposure, also more acute given foothill proximity, leaves combustion particulates in duct systems that standard filter changes don’t remove. Call (720) 799-2292 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Video inspection finds delaminated duct board along trunk seams, disconnected runs behind finished walls, crushed flex duct in attics, and debris accumulation at elbows where airflow changes direction - none of which are visible from the register. In a 1983 Ken Caryl Ranch split-level on South Alkire Street, our camera revealed delaminated seams that were the source of bluish fiberglass dust the homeowner kept finding after filter changes. Call (720) 799-2292 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
A NADCA-standard clean uses mechanical agitation to loosen debris from duct walls, followed by negative-pressure extraction to remove it from the system entirely, with access points cut where needed and sealed afterward. The $99 model typically runs a vacuum hose from the register for a few minutes per opening, agitates nothing, extracts nothing, and provides no documentation. CleanRun’s documented photo record of every run, included as standard, is the practical difference customers can verify. Call (720) 799-2292 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Clean the ducts first, then assess the air handler. Running a new blower motor on a contaminated duct system forces debris through the clean components immediately. Our full system clean includes blower wheel service, and the video inspection often reveals whether the air handler cabinet itself needs attention beyond cleaning. We document what we find and provide a written scope for any additional work before proceeding. Call (720) 799-2292 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
