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.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Lakeway
Air duct cleaning in Lakeway, TX typically runs $450-$1,200 for a full residential system, with most multi-zone homes falling between $650 and $950. CleanRun crews are dispatched from our Austin coordination office and serve Lakeway directly, carrying Rotobrush and Nikro negative-pressure equipment sized for the 3,000-5,500 sq ft homes that dominate this market. Call (737) 252-1285 and we’ll put a written price in your hand before any panel comes off.
We’ve been working in Lakeway since 2013, and the pattern is consistent: homes here have more HVAC zones, longer flex-duct runs, and far heavier pollen loading than our customers in Leander or Cedar Park expect. That difference matters when you’re comparing quotes.
Why CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander Is Lakeway’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Lakeway homeowners research before they call. They bought into a high-value Hill Country market, and they expect documentation they can verify. Our Air Duct Cleaning team delivers exactly that: a written price before work starts, every time, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No “call for a quote.” No $79 coupon that balloons once the van arrives.
Our reputation in Lakeway is built on what we leave behind, not what we promise upfront. Every job concludes with a Documented Photo Record - before and after images of every duct run, delivered as a standard deliverable, not an upsell. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is backed in writing on every invoice. If it’s not right, we make it right.
Technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. Tomas Reyes, who leads CleanRun, established this protocol in 2013 and has maintained it across 52,000-plus homes served. All calls route to a live person, 24/7, including scheduling and follow-up.
We know the terrain. Lakeway’s steep Hill Country lots, multi-level custom builds in Rough Hollow, and the original 1970s corridor along Lakeway Drive each present distinct duct configurations. A crew that treats a 4,500 sq ft three-zone home off Serene Hills Parkway the same as a 2,000 sq ft single-system ranch in Brushy Creek is a crew that’s going to miss half the system.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Lakeway

Residential Duct Cleaning
Most Lakeway residential jobs involve two or three zones, not one. A 3,800 sq ft home in The Hills of Lakeway might have a downstairs Carrier system, an upstairs Trane, and a separate mini-split zone for the media room. We price per system, not per square foot, because each air handler has its own return trunk, supply branches, and debris profile. Haven Standard Clause 1 requires the written scope to name every system being cleaned and every system being excluded. You’ll know the full cost before we touch a screw.

Commercial Duct Cleaning
Lakeway’s commercial base runs from medical offices along RM 620 to hospitality properties near the lake. These buildings face the same cedar-pollen loading as residences, plus higher occupancy turnover and more stringent indoor-air requirements. We use Abatement Technologies HEPA-filtered negative-pressure units on commercial jobs, sized to the CFM demands of larger rooftop systems. Scheduling is coordinated to minimize disruption to operating hours.

Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air to your registers. In Lakeway, the problem is what they’re pushing through: ultra-fine mountain cedar pollen that standard 1-inch pleated filters don’t stop. Our supply-duct protocol combines rotary brush agitation with Nikro negative-pressure extraction, pulling loosened debris back toward the vacuum source rather than blowing it into your living space. Every supply branch is photographed before and after.

Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts are the intake side - they pull air from your rooms back to the air handler. In Lakeway, returns are where cedar pollen first accumulates, especially on homes with undersized return grilles or long flex-duct chases through hot attics. Return Duct Cleaning is critical here because a loaded return raises static pressure, strains blower motors, and recirculates pollen load even after supply ducts are clean. We inspect returns with a camera before quoting, so we know whether we’re looking at surface debris or a collapsed flex section packed with decades of buildup.

Full System Cleaning
Full System Cleaning means every component: supply trunks and branches, return trunks and branches, plenum (the distribution box at the air handler), registers, grilles, and the air handler cabinet itself. For Lakeway’s multi-zone homes, this is the only scope that makes sense. Cleaning one zone and ignoring another is like changing two tires. We scope Full System Cleaning by the number of air handlers and the linear footage of ductwork, with the written price naming each.

Video Inspection
Video Inspection is not a sales gimmick here; it’s how we find what Lakeway’s building stock hides. Long flex-duct runs sag. Original 1970s ductwork collapses at stress points. Construction debris from 1990s and 2000s builds pools at elbows. The camera shows it. We record the inspection and include stills in your Documented Photo Record. If we find a collapsed section, we quote Duct Repair & Sealing separately, in writing, before cutting anything.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Lakeway
CleanRun crews carry professional-grade equipment from trade-recognized manufacturers: Nikro negative-pressure vacuums and HEPA collectors, Honeywell media air cleaners and electronic air cleaners, and Aprilaire whole-home dehumidifiers and ventilation controllers. We stock common replacement components for these brands locally, so if a Video Inspection reveals a failed Aprilaire dehumidifier drain pan or a Honeywell media cabinet that needs resealing, we’re not ordering parts for a return trip. Abatement Technologies HEPA-negative-air machines are deployed on larger Lakeway homes and commercial jobs where containment and filtration standards are higher. You can look up every brand named here and verify specifications independently.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Lakeway Homes

- Multi-zone homes quoted as single-system jobs. A crew prices your 4,200 sq ft Rough Hollow home as one system, cleans the downstairs air handler, and leaves two zones still recirculating cedar pollen. You paid for a full cleaning and got a third of one.
- Long flex-duct runs that sag and pool debris. Lakeway’s custom builds from the 2000s often run 25-foot-plus flex sections through attic chases. Without negative-pressure extraction and rotary agitation, surface cleaning just stirs deposited pollen back into the airstream. The registers look clean for a week. Then they don’t.
- Original 1970s flex that’s partially collapsed or kinked. Homes along Lakeway Drive and the original resort corridor have ductwork that predates modern installation standards. No filter check or register vacuum reveals a collapsed return flex behind a drywall soffit. Only a camera inspection does. We’ve found sections packed with cedar pollen, limestone construction dust, and in two cases, bat guano from attic entry points the homeowner never knew existed.
- Post-cedar-season dust loading that standard filters don’t catch. Mountain cedar pollen is 19-22 microns - small enough to pass through many pleated filters, especially when they’re loaded. By February, Lakeway return ducts can hold a measurable debris layer that doesn’t show at the grille but chokes airflow at the plenum. Static pressure rises. Energy bills follow.

What moves a quote within these ranges: number of air handlers, linear footage of ductwork, accessibility (crawl space vs. attic vs. conditioned chase), and whether Video Inspection reveals damage requiring Duct Repair & Sealing. We do not price per vent. Haven Standard Clause 1: one flat price per system, agreed in writing, before work starts.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Lakeway

Each air handler has its own return trunk, supply branches, and debris load. A single-system quote that cleans one handler and ignores the other two leaves those zones recirculating unfiltered air. We price per system so the written scope names every unit being cleaned and every unit excluded. Call (737) 252-1285 and we’ll show you how the scope maps to your home’s actual layout.
Yes. Lakeway sits in the densest concentration of Ashe juniper in the country, and December-February pollen counts routinely hit tens of thousands of grains per cubic meter. This pollen is fine enough to pass standard filters and coat duct interiors more aggressively than in Austin proper or northern suburbs. Post-cedar-season cleaning is functionally necessary here, not a routine upsell. Homes that skip it often show register dust and elevated static pressure by March.
A Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after, delivered as a standard job deliverable. The written scope signed before work starts. The written invoice with Haven Standard Clause 1 pricing. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise, backed in writing. If a crew can’t show you what they found and what they removed, you don’t know what you paid for.
Original flex-duct sections that have sagged, kinked, or partially collapsed over 40-plus years. Decades of cedar pollen accumulation. Limestone construction dust from original build. And occasionally, debris from attic pest entry that previous owners never disclosed. We find these conditions with a camera inspection, not by guesswork. If repair is needed, we quote it separately in writing before cutting anything.
Every 3-5 years for standard maintenance, but Lakeway’s combination of record cedar-pollen loading and near-continuous AC operation (May through September, often longer) pushes that toward every 2-3 years for homes with respiratory sensitivities or visible register dust. The 1970s corridor homes with original ductwork should be inspected annually regardless of visible symptoms. Call (737) 252-1285 and we’ll scope a schedule to your home’s age, system count, and debris history.
