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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Brushy Creek
Air duct cleaning in Brushy Creek typically runs $380-$720 for a full residential system, with video inspection and sealing work quoted separately based on what the camera finds. Most Brushy Creek jobs are scheduled within a week, and every appointment starts with a written price before any panel comes off the wall. We’re familiar with the flex-duct systems installed during the 1990s and 2000s building boom here, and we know how the cedar pollen load and extreme attic heat in this part of Williamson County accelerate problems that simpler cleaning can’t fix. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written estimate - estimates are free, and we’ll show you exactly what we find.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander Is Brushy Creek’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve served Brushy Creek homeowners since 2013, and our crews know the difference between a routine cleaning and a system that’s been recirculating cedar pollen and attic air for fifteen years. Our Air Duct Cleaning team documents every duct run with before-and-after photos, and that photo record is included as a standard deliverable on every job - not an upsell.
Homeowners here research before they call. They want to see license numbers, equipment brands, and written guarantees. We publish ours. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires a written price before any work starts. Haven Standard Clause 3, Verified Crews, means every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every job, not just stated in marketing copy.
Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Austin office, but crews serve Brushy Creek locally and carry the full equipment roster - Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies - needed for both cleaning and the sealing work that aging flex duct often requires.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Brushy Creek
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Brushy Creek homes were built between the late 1980s and 2010s with builder-grade flex-duct systems in unconditioned attics. Those attics hit 130-150°F in summer, degrading duct board liner and loosening connections. Our residential service starts with a camera inspection of every run, followed by negative-pressure extraction - that’s a powerful vacuum attached to the main trunk line to pull debris out without releasing it into your home. We photograph the interior of every duct run before and after. The photo record is yours as part of the standard job file.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Brushy Creek’s commercial spaces - medical offices near FM 620, retail along Whitestone Boulevard, and professional buildings serving the Cedar Park-Leander corridor - require scheduled maintenance that doesn’t disrupt operations. We work after hours and weekends, quote flat per-system pricing in writing, and deliver the same documented photo record we provide on residential jobs. Equipment includes Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration and Honeywell air quality monitors where specified.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Brushy Creek, we regularly find these runs coated with fine debris that accumulated over years of cedar season bypassing clogged filters. The problem isn’t always visible at the register. Our camera inspection shows what’s actually inside the run - pollen buildup, degraded liner particles, or mold from moisture intrusion. We clean with mechanical agitation and negative-pressure extraction, then photograph every foot so you can see the difference.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to the air handler, and in Brushy Creek’s cedar belt, they’re where the yellow-green pollen film concentrates every winter. A crushed flex run or disconnected joint in the return path doesn’t just reduce airflow - it pulls in attic air loaded with insulation fibers and pollen residue. We recently cleaned the duct system in a two-story home off Great Oaks Drive, where the homeowner had been battling cedar fever every winter despite monthly filter changes. Using a camera inspection, we discovered a crushed flex run in the attic and a disconnected joint at the air handler that had been pulling in insulation fibers and cedar pollen residue for years. After removing the damaged section, sealing the plenum, and performing a full source removal with HEPA filtration, the home’s return duct tested clean for the first time in a decade.
Full System Cleaning
This is our most common request in Brushy Creek, and for good reason. Cleaning only the supply side or only the return side leaves debris that immediately recontaminates the other half. Full system cleaning covers the return plenum, filter box, air handler cabinet, supply plenum, and every duct run - supply and return - with mechanical agitation, negative-pressure extraction, and HEPA-filtered discharge. We include the documented photo record of every run. If the camera finds disconnected or crushed sections, we quote sealing or replacement in writing before proceeding.
Video Inspection
Every Brushy Creek job we do starts here. The camera doesn’t guess - it shows. We feed a lighted scope through each duct run and display the feed in real time. Homeowners see the debris buildup, the crushed flex, the disconnected joint, or the degraded liner for themselves. The video is saved as part of the job record. In Brushy Creek’s 1990s-2000s housing stock, we find something worth documenting in roughly four out of five systems. That footage becomes the basis for an honest, written quote - no surprises after work begins.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Brushy Creek Homes
- Cedar pollen saturation in return plenums. Brushy Creek sits in the heart of the Central Texas cedar belt, where from December through February, Ashe juniper pollen coats return-air filter boxes and plenums in a fine yellow-green film that slips past clogged filters - something our crews see here every January but rarely find in neighborhoods even 15 miles east of the cedar corridor. Monthly filter changes help, but they don’t remove the accumulated residue inside the ductwork.
- Micro-tears and loose joints in aging flex duct. Builder-grade flex duct in 130-150°F attics develops micro-tears and loose joints that pull attic air - plus insulation fibers and cedar pollen - straight into living spaces during the April-October cooling season. The homeowner feels it as uneven temperatures, higher bills, or allergy symptoms that persist indoors.
- Degraded duct board liners trapping biological debris. Original duct board liners degrade and trap biological debris, causing recurring musty odors that a simple cleaning won’t fix without replacing the compromised sections. We identify these during video inspection and quote replacement in writing.
- Disconnected or crushed runs hidden in unconditioned attics. Disconnected or crushed runs hidden in unconditioned attics go undetected until a camera inspection reveals them, meaning pollen and mold spores recirculate unchecked. The Great Oaks Drive job is typical - years of symptoms, one inspection, a clear cause.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Brushy Creek
It’s cedar pollen - Ashe juniper pollen from the dense cedar belt surrounding Brushy Creek - slipping past your filter and coating the return plenum and filter box. The pollen is fine enough to bypass standard filters, especially when they’re loaded, and it accumulates on every interior surface of the return path. A thorough return duct cleaning removes the accumulated film, and upgrading to a higher-MERV filter or adding a whole-house air cleaner can reduce recurrence. Call (737) 252-1285 and we’ll inspect the return path to show you exactly where it’s collecting.
You usually can’t tell from inside the house. The signs are uneven room temperatures, higher cooling bills, dust that returns quickly after cleaning, or allergy symptoms that worsen when the system runs. The only reliable method is a camera inspection of the attic runs. We feed a lighted scope through each duct and show you the footage in real time - crushed sections, gaps at joints, and disconnected boots are immediately visible. We include this inspection with every full system cleaning, or offer it standalone if you want a diagnosis first. Call (737) 252-1285 to schedule.
Cleaning removes debris; sealing fixes the leaks that let new debris in. In Brushy Creek’s aging flex-duct systems, we often find that cleaning alone would be temporary - the same attic air and pollen would re-enter through gaps we discovered during inspection. When we find disconnected joints, loose boots, or micro-tears, we quote sealing or replacement in writing before proceeding. Haven Standard Clause 1: the price for any repair is agreed before work starts. You’ll know the full scope before we touch a tool.
For homes with standard filtration and no known duct damage, every three to five years is typical. In Brushy Creek’s cedar belt, homes with allergy-sensitive occupants or visible pollen accumulation may benefit from inspection every two to three years. The real variable is the condition of the ductwork itself - a system with disconnected runs or degraded liner needs repair, not just more frequent cleaning. We recommend starting with a video inspection to establish a baseline, then scheduling based on what we find. Call (737) 252-1285 to set one up.
Source removal means we physically remove the contamination from inside the ductwork rather than covering it with a coating or leaving it in place. We use mechanical agitation - brushes and whips that contact the duct walls - combined with negative-pressure extraction to pull loosened debris into a HEPA-filtered containment system. For Brushy Creek homes, this matters because cedar pollen, mold spores, and degraded liner particles are not neutralized by sprays; they have to be extracted. Our equipment includes Rotobrush mechanical systems and Nikro negative-pressure units, and we photograph every run to verify the source was actually removed. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written estimate - estimates are free.
