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 CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander Is Leander’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve served over 52,000 homes since 2013, and a significant share of those have been in Leander’s master-planned communities. Our reputation here is built on one thing: documentation. Every duct run is photographed before and after. Every price is written and signed before work begins. Every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, not as a policy subject to manager approval.
Leander customers specifically mention our photo records in reviews. They like that we show them what was inside their ducts rather than asking them to trust a vacuum noise. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival - Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews. We don’t do urgency theatre or coupon pricing. We do written scopes, documented results, and accountability.
Response time to Leander is typically same-week scheduling, sometimes sooner depending on route density. We’re in Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Round Rock regularly, so Leander fits naturally into our Williamson County rotation.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Leander
Residential Duct Cleaning
Most of our Leander residential work is in 2005-2022 era tract homes with attic-mounted air handlers and flex duct runs through unconditioned attic spaces. Those attics hit 140-150°F in July and August. That heat degrades flex duct liner faster than in cooler climates, and degraded liner traps debris. Our residential cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction - a large vacuum attached to your main trunk line that pulls debris out while we agitate it loose with compressed-air whips and brushes - plus HEPA filtration so nothing recirculates into your home. We photograph every run before and after. The photo record is yours, included standard.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Leander’s commercial growth along 183A and near the Crystal Falls Town Center has brought us into retail spaces, medical offices, and small professional buildings. Commercial systems differ from residential: larger static pressure requirements, different access points, often rooftop units. We size our equipment to the system - Rotobrush for smaller commercial runs, Nikro and Abatement Technologies negative-pressure rigs for larger trunk lines. Every commercial job gets the same written price upfront and documented photo record on completion.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Leander homes, we frequently find supply runs partially blocked by construction debris - drywall chunks, insulation fragments, caliche dust - that settled during the build and never got cleaned out. The builder’s HVAC subcontractor often installed flex duct before drywall was finished and left vents unsealed. Our supply duct cleaning includes register removal, individual run agitation, and trunk line vacuuming. We check airflow at each register after cleaning and note any restrictions in your job record.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back to your air handler. In Leander, these are particularly vulnerable to caliche dust infiltration - the fine alkaline dust from Williamson County’s limestone soil becomes airborne with any disturbance and gets drawn into return-air pathways. Homes in active-phase subdivisions like Bryson’s newer sections pull fresh caliche from adjacent graded lots. Return duct cleaning removes this buildup before it reaches your filter, blower motor, and evaporator coil. We also inspect and photograph the return plenum (the large box where return air enters your air handler) for debris accumulation.
Full System Cleaning
Full system cleaning is what most Leander homes actually need. It covers supply ducts, return ducts, trunk lines, the plenum, and accessible components of the air handler itself. Given Leander’s construction debris profile and caliche dust load, partial cleaning often leaves significant contamination in the system. Our full system cleaning includes video inspection - a camera run through key ducts so you see the condition before we start and the result after we finish. The video and still photos become part of your documented job record.
Video Inspection
We use video inspection as both diagnostic and verification tool. In Leander, it’s particularly valuable for new homeowners who suspect their builder left debris behind. The camera shows what’s actually in there - construction dust, caliche, pollen buildup, rodent activity, liner degradation - without guesswork. We can target video inspection to specific problem areas or run it through the entire system. The footage is yours to keep.

Our equipment roster includes professional-grade tools from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Guardsman - brands you can look up independently before agreeing to a price. We don’t use shop vacs with duct-tape attachments. For Leander homes with Honeywell or Aprilaire whole-house air cleaners integrated into the duct system, we clean and service those components as part of a full system cleaning, and we stock common replacement media locally for faster turnaround if your filter element needs changing.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Leander Homes
- Construction debris locked in from day one. Builder-grade homes in Leander frequently have flex duct installed before drywall was finished, with vents left unsealed. Drywall particulate, insulation fragments, and sawdust enter the system and sit there until a homeowner notices reduced airflow or dust complaints months after move-in.
- Caliche dust from adjacent graded lots. In active-phase subdivisions, the fine white alkaline dust from Williamson County limestone soil gets airborne and drawn into return pathways. We’ve found significant caliche buildup in homes less than three years old.
- Flex duct liner degradation from attic heat. Leander’s unconditioned attics exceed 140°F for months each summer. That heat breaks down flex duct liner material faster than in milder climates, and degraded liner traps lint and debris that would otherwise pass through.
- Mountain Cedar pollen loading during winter. Leander sits in the eastern Hill Country’s Ashe juniper belt. December through February pollen counts rank among North America’s highest, and that biological load enters HVAC intakes continuously during a season when windows stay closed and systems recirculate indoor air.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Leander, TX
A typical residential duct cleaning in Leander runs $350-$650 for a full system, depending on system size, accessibility, and contamination level. Video inspection alone is $150-$250 if done as a standalone service, or included at no additional charge with a full system cleaning. Commercial systems start around $800 and scale with square footage and duct complexity.
What moves the price: number of supply and return registers, whether the air handler is in the attic or a closet (attic access adds time), presence of integrated air cleaner components, and the degree of contamination - heavy construction debris or caliche loading requires more agitation time and filter changes during the job. We do not price per vent. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts, under Haven Standard Clause 1. No add-ons discovered mid-job.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Leander
Yes, very possibly. Because Leander’s master-planned communities like Crystal Falls, Bryson, and Travisso were built in rapid successive phases, entire neighborhoods share the same ductwork vintage and the same construction-phase debris profile - so a ‘new’ home here frequently has ducts carrying original drywall dust and caliche from adjacent graded lots within 2-3 years of handover. We were called to a three-year-old Bryson home where the homeowner reported a fine white dust settling on furniture despite a new build. Our tech ran a camera inspection through the supply and return ducts and found flex runs coated with caliche dust carried in from the still-graded lots next door - on top of original construction debris. After a full system cleaning using negative pressure, HEPA filtration, and agitation tools to break the material loose, the homeowner’s recurring dust complaint stopped. Call (737) 252-1285 for a free estimate with video inspection.
Williamson County’s limestone caliche soil produces fine alkaline dust that becomes airborne with any ground disturbance. In Leander’s active subdivisions, graded lots adjacent to occupied homes are a constant source. Your HVAC system’s return-air pathways pull this dust directly into the ductwork, where it accumulates on duct walls and in the air handler. The dust is persistent - it doesn’t break down or decompose - so it builds until physically removed. A standard 1-inch furnace filter catches some of it, but much passes through or bypasses around poorly sealed filter racks. Professional cleaning with negative-pressure extraction and agitation is the only effective removal method. Call (737) 252-1285 for an exact quote.
Yes, significantly. Leander sits squarely in the Ashe juniper (Mountain Cedar) belt of the eastern Hill Country, where December-February cedar pollen counts rank among the highest in North America. During this season, your HVAC system pulls that pollen into return ducts continuously, and with windows closed against winter cold, the system recirculates it through supply ducts. Pollen accumulates on duct walls, particularly in return pathways and at the air handler, where moisture can cause it to adhere. For allergy-sensitive households, cleaning before cedar season starts - typically November - removes accumulated prior-year loading and gives you a cleaner baseline going into peak pollen. Call (737) 252-1285 to schedule.
A proper duct cleaning in Leander includes: inspection and photography of every accessible duct run; register removal and cleaning; negative-pressure extraction at the main trunk line; mechanical agitation with compressed-air whips and brushes to break debris loose from duct walls; HEPA-filtered collection so nothing recirculates; re-inspection and photography of every run after cleaning; and a written job record with your photo documentation delivered to you. For Leander homes specifically, we pay particular attention to return pathways where caliche dust accumulates and to flex duct connections that may have degraded in attic heat. Video inspection is included with full system cleaning. Call (737) 252-1285 for a written scope and price.
It often does, if the dust is originating from your ductwork. In Leander, that fine white dust is frequently caliche from adjacent construction or residual drywall particulate from the build. If your HVAC system is the source, you’ll typically see the dust resettle within days of surface cleaning, and it will appear on horizontal surfaces nearest supply registers first. Our camera inspection can confirm whether your ducts are the source. If they are, negative-pressure extraction with proper agitation removes the reservoir. If the dust is entering from another source - poorly sealed return pathways pulling attic air, for example - we’ll note that in your job record and recommend appropriate sealing. Call (737) 252-1285 for diagnosis and a written price.
