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.

AfterAbatement Technologies Air Quality & Sanitizing in Leander: What to Know First
We provide independent Abatement Technologies air quality and sanitizing services in Leander, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days and completed in a single visit. A typical whole-system sanitizing job for an Abatement Technologies setup runs $340-$680, and we put that price in writing before any work starts. This page is for homeowners who already own Abatement Technologies equipment - portable HEPA units, negative air machines, or the full HEPA-AIRE line - and need mold treatment, bacteria sanitizing, odor removal, or UV light installation performed by technicians who know the brand’s internals. We’re not affiliated with Abatement Technologies; we’re an independent service provider with no manufacturer authorization. Call (737) 252-1285 for a free written estimate.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- HEPA-AIRE PAS2400 filter seal degradation. The PAS2400’s gasket interface between the HEPA filter and the housing frame compresses over 3-5 years in Leander’s heat, allowing bypass air that defeats the point of the install. We replace with OEM-spec foam gaskets or upgrade to silicone where the duty cycle demands it, then verify with a smoke pencil test at the seal.
- PREDATOR 750 UV lamp ballast failure. The 120V ballast on early PREDATOR units runs hot in Texas attics where ambient hits 140°F in July. Ballast burnout is common at 18-24 months, not the 36-month lamp interval. We source direct-fit aftermarket ballasts rated to 185°F ambient, or convert to Abatement’s updated 277V configuration where the home’s panel allows.
- Abatement Technologies AIRE GUARD 2000 plenum condensation in new construction. Leander’s Crystal Falls and Travisso builds from 2018-2023 often have oversized AIRE GUARD units paired with tight envelope construction. The result is cold spots at the plenum (the main distribution box) where mold starts behind the filter rack. We treat with EPA-registered antimicrobial, install a thermal barrier sleeve, and photograph the before condition because the homeowner can’t see it from the grille.
- Portable HEPA unit carbon pre-filter saturation. The A600 and A1000 portables use 2-inch carbon pre-filters that saturate fast in Leander’s cedar pollen season, which runs February through April and can push particulate counts past 150 µg/m³. A saturated carbon layer loads the HEPA prematurely and strains the backward-curved blower. We log actual pressure drop with a manometer, replace only what’s needed, and show the reading on the written job record.
- Negative air machine duct adapter leaks. The HEPA-AIRE duct mounting collar uses a cam-lock fitting that loosens with thermal cycling in unconditioned Leander crawl spaces. Negative pressure drops, containment fails, and remediation work gets contaminated. We torque-test every cam-lock, replace worn latch pins with stainless hardware, and seal the interface with foil tape rated for the static pressure.
Our Abatement Technologies Air Quality & Sanitizing Process
- 1
Inspection with photo documentation. We feed a borescope through the plenum and each duct run, recording what we find. If the camera doesn’t show contamination, we don’t quote treatment.
- 2
Written scope and price. Haven Standard Clause 1: the price is written and agreed before any panel comes off. No exceptions.
- 3
Equipment isolation and protection. We seal the Abatement Technologies unit’s electronics from moisture during sanitizing, using manufacturer-specified cover procedures so warranty terms stay intact.
- 4
Source removal and application. Negative-pressure extraction first, then EPA-registered antimicrobial applied to spec dwell time. For UV installs, we measure line voltage at the proposed lamp location, not guess.
- 5
Post-treatment verification. We photograph every treated surface, run the unit through its full speed range, and log final pressure drop or UV output in microwatts per square centimeter.
- 6
Deliverables. The customer receives the photo record, the written scope, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we leave.

| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Whole-system bacteria/mold sanitizing (single HVAC zone) | $340-$520 |
| Whole-system sanitizing with plenum access repair | $480-$680 |
| UV-C lamp installation (Abatement-compatible) | $280-$440 per lamp location |

What moves the price: number of duct runs, whether the plenum needs disassembly for access, and if we’re working around finished drywall in Leander’s newer homes where the unit is buried in a conditioned mechanical closet. We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems where the Abatement Technologies equipment is integrated into a mixed-brand setup. Every estimate is free, written, and valid for 30 days.
Why Leander Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander for Abatement Technologies Work
We’ve been running crews in Leander since 2013, including regular jobs in Crystal Falls where the cedar pollen and construction debris from ongoing development keep our borescopes busy. The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the mold comes back at the same spot, we return and make it right - backed in writing, not subject to manager approval. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews, and they carry the equipment roster customers can verify: Rotobrush, Nikro, Abatement Technologies, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. Tomas Reyes pulls the inspection camera out before quoting anything. Show the photo first. Then talk about what comes next.
FAQs
No, if the work is performed without altering factory wiring or using non-specified chemicals. We document our methods and products on the written job record so warranty claims stay clean. Call (737) 252-1285 if your dealer questions prior service - we’ll send the documentation directly.
OEM HEPA filters maintain the rated efficiency and fit tolerance, but quality aftermarket carbon pre-filters from Guardsman perform identically at lower cost for the replace-every-season items. We stock both and log what we install. For warranty-active units under 5 years, we default to OEM HEPA to eliminate any dispute.
You receive a Documented Photo Record of every treated duct run and the plenum, plus the post-treatment pressure drop or UV output reading. If we treated for mold, the photo shows the surface condition after application. If the problem was odor, we run the unit and verify no residual smell before leaving. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers return visits if results don’t hold.
Yes. We regularly interface Abatement portable or inline units with Lennox, Trane, and Carrier systems in Leander homes. The integration points are the plenum collar size, control voltage, and static pressure budget - all of which we measure and document before quoting any modification.
Every 3-5 years for residential HVAC-integrated units in normal conditions, sooner if you’ve had water intrusion, pest activity, or visible mold. Portable HEPA units used during remodeling need filter service every 6-12 months. We don’t sell maintenance contracts; we inspect and tell you what the camera shows.
