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 Buford Homes Are Different
Buford’s air duct problems come in two distinct flavors that rarely overlap in neighboring cities. The older mill village homes and 1960s ranches near downtown often still run original galvanized steel ductwork with no cleanout ports, meaning technicians must cut access panels to reach the full system. In the newer subdivisions along Buford Highway and Thompson Mill Road, cheap flex duct installed during the 1990s – 2010s building boom has begun to sag, tear at plenum connections, and collect dust in ways that metal duct simply doesn’t.
Buford’s humid subtropical climate adds another layer. HVAC systems here run almost year-round, and the summer humidity drives condensation inside crawlspace and attic ductwork, especially in Lake Lanier-area homes with long duct runs. That moisture invites mold and mildew that a simple vacuum won’t address. We’ve also found rodent intrusion in crawlspace systems more often here than in drier inland markets. Two homes on the same Buford street can need completely different equipment and approaches.
Our Main Buford Services
Most Buford homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Buford
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and negative-air method from Nikro, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In Buford’s older homes, we often start by fabricating access panels in original metal trunk lines. In newer subdivisions, we reconnect crushed flex duct before cleaning so the airflow pattern is restored. Every job gets before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Buford has the full breakdown.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Buford
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a genuine fire hazard, and Buford’s longer vent runs in Lake Lanier homes and multi-story subdivisions make the problem worse. We pull the full lint column with a rotary brush and high-velocity vacuum, then verify airflow at the exterior cap. If the vent line is damaged or improperly routed through an attic or crawlspace, we note it in writing. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Buford covers what to expect.
Duct Sealing in Buford
Leaky ducts waste 20 – 30% of conditioned air in a typical Buford home, and the problem is especially acute in subdivisions where flex duct has pulled loose at the plenum or where mastic has aged out in crawlspaces. We seal accessible joints with duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test the system to verify the improvement. Duct Sealing in Buford explains the process and pricing.
