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.

Why Marietta Homes Are Different
Marietta’s housing stock spans everything from 1920s bungalows near the Square to 1990s subdivisions off Barrett Parkway and new construction pushing west toward Powder Springs Road. That age spread matters. Older homes around Whitlock Avenue and Church Street often have original galvanized ductwork that’s been patched over decades, while newer builds in West Cobb feature flex duct that can sag or separate in the attic heat. The common thread across all of them is what Georgia’s climate puts into the air: pine pollen in spring, humidity-fed dust in summer, and construction particles from the constant road work along I-75 and the North Marietta corridor.
Marietta’s rolling terrain also affects the work. Homes built into hillsides often have split-level layouts with duct runs that branch three or four times before reaching upper rooms, which means more access points and a longer cleaning than a flat single-story plan. And in neighborhoods with active HOAs, like Indian Hills or some of the newer communities near Sweat Mountain, dryer vent terminations on rooflines are common, which changes how the vent gets cleaned at the exterior end.
Our Main Marietta Services
Most Marietta homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and process details, but here’s the quick picture.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marietta
Lint buildup in dryer exhausts is a real fire hazard, and Marietta’s typical laundry room placements, often on second floors or against garage walls, create longer vent runs that trap more lint. We see vents packed with years of compressed lint in homes off Sandy Plains Road and along the Canton Road corridor, where seasonal humidity turns lint into a dense mat. Our techs run professional brushes and HEPA extraction through the full vent path, from the dryer connection to the exterior cap, then show you before-and-after photos. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Marietta covers the full process, pricing, and what we look for.
Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta
Whole-home duct cleaning removes the dust, pollen, pet hair, and debris that settle inside supply and return lines. In Marietta, we often find construction dust from previous renovations, especially in homes near the historic districts where renovations are constant. Our negative-pressure extraction, meaning the loosened debris goes straight into a HEPA vacuum rather than back into your living room, paired with Rotobrush agitation, pulls years of buildup out in a single visit. Air Duct Cleaning in Marietta has full details, including how long it takes and what we check.
HVAC Cleaning in Marietta
Beyond the ducts themselves, the blower, coils, and plenum collect grime that reduces airflow and keeps allergens circulating. Marietta’s humidity can cause evaporator coil buildup that hardens with heat cycling and then gets pulled into your ductwork. We clean these components as part of a complete HVAC cleaning, using Nikro HEPA equipment and Abatement Technologies containment where needed to keep the work area sealed. HVAC Cleaning in Marietta explains exactly what gets cleaned and why it matters for your system’s efficiency.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Marietta
Most Marietta homes are scheduled within one to two business days of your call. We don’t promise same-day service because duct cleaning is a scheduled appointment, and a real cleaning takes time. When you book, you’ll get a live trackable arrival window through The Relay Standard, so you know exactly when our tech arrives. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
Duct cleaning itself doesn’t require a permit in Marietta or Cobb County, and it doesn’t trigger HOA approval since no exterior work is visible to neighbors. The exception is dryer vents that terminate through the roof or exterior walls. If your HOA has rules about exterior vent appearances, our tech will note any issues before work starts, and we’ll leave the termination as we found it or better.
We cover all of Marietta, from the historic neighborhoods around the Square to West Cobb, East Cobb, and the areas near Canton Road and Sandy Plains. There’s no service-area surcharge based on your neighborhood. The price you’re quoted is the price for the work, and our coverage includes the surrounding cities linked above.
