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 Marietta
Air duct cleaning in Marietta typically runs $450 – $950 for a full system on a 3,000 – 5,000 sq ft East Cobb home, and most jobs are completed in a single half-day visit. We work throughout Marietta’s 30062, 30064, 30066, 30067, and 30068 zip codes five days a week, from the Square up through East Cobb’s two-story colonials. If you’ve never had your ducts cleaned or if the home was built before 1995 on its original flex duct, call (980) 447-2498 for a free estimate from someone who actually picks up.
Why Linden Air Duct Cleaning Is Marietta’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve walked through hundreds of Cobb County homes and know exactly what the 1978 – 1995 build-out leaves behind: original flex ductwork sagging at the joints, disconnected runs pulling attic air, and pollen that’s been accumulating since the Reagan administration. Our Air Duct Cleaning teams know that an East Cobb colonial in 30068 with a bonus room over the garage is a completely different job than a ranch near Marietta Square. That local knowledge changes what we check, how we scope the work, and what we tell you before any money changes hands.
Every technician who knocks on a Marietta door is background-checked, identity-verified, and photo-badged under the Threshold Standard. You’ll get the tech’s name and photo before the visit, and they’ll show a photo ID at the door before stepping inside. We’ve served homeowners since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work isn’t right, we make it right, in writing, on every job.
The phone is answered by a live person 24/7, not a voicemail loop. Marcus Veale leads our technician teams, and the standard he set is simple: written price before any work begins, and a written guarantee on every repair. That’s how we’ve built a strong local reputation in Marietta.
Vent Cleaning in Marietta
Vent cleaning in Marietta’s 1980s and 1990s colonials usually means removing decades of Georgia pine and oak pollen from supply registers and return grilles, then working backward into the branch runs where debris settled during decades of February-through-May pollen seasons. A typical vent cleaning on a 2,000 – 3,000 sq ft Marietta home runs $250 – $450 when done as part of a full system cleaning, or $150 – $300 as a standalone service on smaller systems.
Supply Register Build-Up
Supply vents in Marietta homes collect a film of pollen, candle wax, and cooking grease that hardens over time. We hand-wash each register, then agitate and extract the visible debris before negative-pressure extraction pulls what’s loose from the branch run behind it.
Return Grille Restrictions
Return grilles on older Cobb County homes are often the most restricted point in the whole system. Twenty years of pet hair, dust, and pollen can cut return airflow by 30 – 40%, which makes the system run longer and keeps the upstairs hotter. We pull the grille, clean the filter housing, and vacuüm the return drop so the air handler can breathe.
Ductwork Cleaning in Marietta
Ductwork cleaning in Marietta’s East Cobb homes often reveals what a surface cleaning never touches: sagging flex duct that has separated from the trunk, collapsed bonus-room runs, and mold growth near the air handler that a quick register-to-register job misses. Whole-system ductwork cleaning on a 3,000 – 5,000 sq ft Marietta home typically runs $600 – $950, and the price is written down before we start.
Full System Source Removal
We run professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment through every supply and return run, agitating the duct walls and extracting debris under negative pressure. On Marietta’s long multi-zone runs, we also camera-inspect the farthest reaches to confirm the job is actually complete, not just visually cleaner at the registers.
Repair-Ready Scoping
We don’t clean around problems we find. If a camera inspection shows a disconnected branch, crushed elbow, or sagging trunk joint, we’ll show you the footage, explain what’s happening in plain English, and give you a written repair price before we do anything. A clean duct that’s still disconnected at the trunk is still a broken duct, which is why we offer Marietta Air Duct Repair to fix it properly.
Trusted Brands We Service in Marietta
Marietta homes carry a mix of original 1980s duct materials and later flexible additions, so we stock replacement parts and sealants to handle both. Our crews rotate Rotobrush and Nikro extraction equipment daily, and we keep Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration tools on the truck for jobs where the camera shows mold activity. That means when we find a problem in your 30062 cul-de-sac, we can often fix it the same visit instead of scheduling a return trip.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Marietta Homes
- Original flex duct sagging at the joints. East Cobb colonials built 1978 – 1995 still carry their factory flex duct, now 30 – 45 years old. The joints separate under their own weight, and the system starts pulling hot attic air instead of conditioned air, which shows up as uneven cooling upstairs.
- Bonus-room branches kinked or crushed at the elbows. The 1990s remodel wave added finished bonus rooms and basement conversions across Marietta, but the flex runs were often installed without proper supports. A kinked elbow means the room never gets enough air no matter how much you clean the registers.
- Pollen-packed return plenums. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation consistently ranks the Atlanta metro among the worst U.S. cities for airborne pollen, and Marietta’s return plenums prove it. Three decades of pine, oak, and sweet gum pollen compact into a layer that traps moisture and feeds mold growth near the air handler.
- Disconnected runs found during a “simple” clean. In the 30068 zip code, we scoped a two-story brick colonial where the bonus-room flex duct had partially collapsed at the elbow. The camera showed it disconnected at the trunk, starving the upstairs zone for years. We reconnected and sealed the branch, then completed source removal on the supply and return ducts so airflow was restored.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta
Because the original flex ductwork installed between 1978 and 1995 was never designed to last 45 years, and most East Cobb homes still carry it. A camera inspection during a cleaning often finds sagging or separated joints, disconnected branches, or crushed bonus-room runs. You can’t clean a duct that’s no longer connected to the trunk, so the scope expands to repair before removal. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll show you the camera footage before any repair is priced or performed.
Every 3 – 5 years, and up to every 3 years if anyone in the home has serious allergies or asthma. Marietta’s February-through-May pollen load and the humid subtropical climate mean duct interiors stay damp longer than in drier metros, accelerating mold growth in any system with minor air-sealing gaps. If you’ve never had the ducts cleaned on a pre-1995 home, schedule an inspection first, not just a cleaning. Call (980) 447-2498 for an honest read on your system.
Source removal under negative pressure, which means agitating every supply and return run with rotating brushes while the system is under vacuum, then extracting the loosened debris at the trunk rather than just at the registers. It covers the supply and return ducts, grilles, registers, and the air handler cabinet. On Marietta’s long East Cobb runs, we add camera verification so you’re not paying for a job that stopped short of the farthest zone. Call (980) 447-2498 to schedule a full system cleaning.
Yes. Dryer vent cleaning is a separate line item from air duct cleaning, but we can do both the same day. The dryer vent in a 1990s Marietta bonus-room laundry can be a long, crudded run that’s a fire hazard and a hidden airflow thief. If you’re already scheduling the ducts, adding the dryer vent saves a second trip. Call (980) 447-2498 for a combined price before work starts.
Almost certainly, yes. Bonus rooms over garages were added during the 1990s Cobb County remodel wave, and the flex-duct branches serving them were often run without proper supports. They kink, sag, or crush at the elbows, and the room is starved for air no matter how much you clean the registers. A camera inspection will confirm whether the run is crushed or disconnected. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll scope that branch specifically before quoting any cleaning or repair.
