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.

AfterRotobrush HVAC Cleaning in Leander: What to Know First
CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander provides independent Rotobrush HVAC cleaning throughout Leander and nearby areas, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days and completed in a single visit. Our written price for your specific Rotobrush system is delivered before any work starts, and every job concludes with a documented photo record of every duct run we touch. If you own a Rotobrush air duct cleaning machine or have a Rotobrush-equipped HVAC system that needs professional cleaning, call (737) 252-1285 for a free estimate with no obligation.
How Rotobrush Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Beast Series brush motor seizure from debris overload. The Beast 850 and 1175 models pull aggressive torque, but when homeowners run them into packed plenum debris without pre-cleaning, the brush motor overheats and seizes. We see this regularly in Leander’s newer Crystal Falls builds where construction debris was never fully cleared. Our fix: motor disassembly, commutator cleaning or replacement with quality aftermarket brushes, and a documented pre-inspection so the machine doesn’t fight material it was never meant to chew through.
- AIr+ and Roto-Vac 360 vacuum blower impeller fouling. These units use high-RPM vacuum blowers that cake with fine Texas Hill Country caliche dust and cedar pollen. Once the impeller balance shifts, vibration destroys the front bearing. We pull the impeller, ultrasonic-clean the vanes, and replace the bearing with a sealed SKF equivalent rather than the OEM open bearing that admits the same dust again.
- Flex-duct adapter wear on the RotoBrush II. The original RotoBrush II’s flexible shaft coupling degrades after roughly 200 hours of flexing through tight Leander attic trusses, especially in summer heat that softens the polymer. We replace with a steel-braided aftermarket coupling rated for higher cycle counts, and we photograph the old coupling’s fatigue cracks so you see why it failed.
- Beast 1175 HEPA filter housing seal distortion. The 1175’s HEPA canister seal gasket takes a compression set in Leander’s attic temperatures, which can exceed 140°F from May through September. Vacuum pressure then bypasses the filter, recirculating debris. We machine a replacement seal from silicone sheet stock that holds its shape across temperature swings, and we test seal integrity with a smoke pencil before the machine leaves our shop.
- Control board moisture damage in Roto-Vac 360 units stored in garages. Leander’s spring storm humidity and winter temperature swings condense on boards stored in unconditioned spaces. Corroded relay contacts cause intermittent brush speed control. We clean the board, replace affected relays, and coat with conformal acrylic - a repair that costs a fraction of a replacement board that Rotobrush no longer stocks for older serial ranges.
Our Rotobrush HVAC Cleaning Process
- 1
Camera-first inspection. Tomas Reyes or a CleanRun technician runs a borescope through every accessible duct run before quoting. If the camera doesn’t show buildup, we don’t charge for cleaning that run - Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 2
Written price delivered. You receive a line-item scope with dollar amounts for each component: evaporator coil, blower assembly, condenser coils, heat exchanger if accessible, and coil treatment. No work starts until you have the number in writing.
- 3
Component-specific cleaning protocol. Rotobrush machines demand different approach angles on A-coils versus slab coils; we match the brush head and RPM to the fin density and coating condition, not run the same attachment through every opening.
- 4
OEM-vs-aftermarket parts decision documented. If we find a failed motor, bearing, or seal, we explain the manufacturer part against the quality aftermarket equivalent, with warranty implications for each, and you choose before we order.
- 5
Negative-pressure verification test. After reassembly, we measure static pressure across the cleaned components against the pre-cleaning baseline. The numbers go in your job record with the before-and-after photos.
- 6
Photo record delivery and 365-Day Done Right Promise activation. Every image, every measurement, and your written warranty are delivered as a standard job record - not an extra, not upon request.

Why Leander Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander for Rotobrush Work
We’ve cleaned Rotobrush equipment in Leander since 2013, including repeat visits to the Crystal Falls neighborhood where cedar pollen season turns evaporator coils into felted mats by late March. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they arrive identified by name - no surprise subcontractors. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job, not mentioned in passing and forgotten. When Rotobrush parts are backordered, our relationships with Lennox, Trane, and Carrier supply chains keep Leander homes from waiting on a single-source bottleneck. And the documented photo record means you see what was in your ducts before you pay for anything. Show the photo first. Then talk about what comes next.
FAQs
No, professional cleaning does not void your HVAC warranty, but using unqualified service or incorrect chemicals can. We document our methods and products for warranty defense if needed, and we never apply pressure or brushes in ways that damage fin coatings or heat exchanger surfaces. If you have a specific warranty concern, call (737) 252-1285 and we’ll review your documentation before scheduling.
We source both. Rotobrush OEM parts are available for current production lines, but some older Beast and Roto-Vac 360 serial ranges have discontinued components. For those, we use quality aftermarket equivalents from trade-recognized suppliers, explain the difference in writing, and let you choose. Our default is the part that lasts, not the part with the logo.
Replacement becomes the honest recommendation when corrosion has compromised the heat exchanger, the blower housing is cracked, or repair parts exceed 60% of replacement cost - and we’ll show you the camera evidence and the math, both in writing. Most Leander Rotobrush systems we see need thorough cleaning and targeted repair, not replacement. Call for a free inspection and we’ll tell you which category you’re in.
The low quotes usually involve a shop vacuum at the register, no component disassembly, and no photo record. We price for documented work on actual HVAC components - coils, blowers, heat exchangers - with before-and-after verification. If another cleaner’s scope matches ours in writing, bring us their quote under our Free Second Opinion policy and we’ll put our number beside it.
Most Leander homes benefit from full HVAC cleaning every three to five years, but homes near ongoing construction, with multiple pets, or with occupants sensitive to cedar pollen may need it every two years. We don’t sell annual packages to everyone - we inspect, show you the camera feed, and recommend based on what we see. Call (737) 252-1285 to schedule a free look.
