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.
Abatement Technologies Duct Repair & Sealing in Leander: What to Know First
We provide independent Abatement Technologies duct repair & sealing in Leander, with most jobs completed in a single scheduled visit and a written price delivered before any panel comes off. As an independent Abatement Technologies service provider, we’re not bound to OEM-only parts or factory-authorized markup structures, which means we can source what actually fits your system and your budget. Typical turnaround from call to completion runs 3-5 business days for standard repairs; emergency sealing after a major leak can usually be scheduled within 48 hours.
This page is for Leander homeowners who’ve found their Abatement Technologies air handler, HEPA filtration unit, or negative-air machine connected to ductwork that’s pulling apart at the seams, leaking at the plenum (the main distribution box), or hemorrhaging conditioned air through gaps the original installer never sealed. If your Abatement Technologies equipment is working harder than it should because the ducts behind it are compromised, call (737) 252-1285 for a free estimate with a written price before we start.
How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PREDATOR 600 series HEPA units with loose flex-duct connections at the inlet collar. The 600-series uses a tapered polypropylene collar that softens in Leander’s attic heat, typically above 140°F in July and August. The hose clamp bites through the softened material, creating a whistle you can hear from two rooms away. We replace the collar with a galvanized steel adapter and seal with mastic sealant (a fiber-reinforced paste that hardens into an airtight skin), not foil tape that’ll cook off in six months.
- ABATEMENT PAS2400 portable air scrubbers with cracked plenum seams from transport damage. These units move between job sites and get banged around in vans. The spot-welded plenum seams fatigue at the corners. We TIG-weld the crack, pressure-test to 2.5 inches water column, and reinsulate with closed-cell foam rated for the unit’s operating temperature. The PAS2400’s compact plenum geometry doesn’t leave room for error; we’ve seen competitors’ patches fail because they used generic HVAC tape instead of welding.
- BD2K series negative-air machines with collapsed flex duct at the first elbow. The BD2K moves serious CFM (cubic feet per minute, the volume of air pushed per minute), and installers often use cheap dryer-duct flex instead of rated spiral wire hose. The vacuum load collapses the inner wall, strangling airflow and overworking the blower motor. We replace with Nikro-branded flex duct, rated for the BD2K’s static pressure, and support it with a hanging strap every 4 feet so it doesn’t sag into the insulation.
- CAP600-UV units with UV lamp housing gasket failure causing duct wall condensation. The gasket around the UV access port dries out after 2-3 years in Leander’s low-humidity winter heating cycles. Warm, moist supply air leaks past the gasket, hits the cooler duct wall, and condenses. You see water stains on the ceiling below. We replace with OEM-spec silicone gaskets or, when lead time’s long, machine our own from UV-stable silicone sheet stock. Then we seal the joint with mastic and verify with a smoke pencil.
- RAH series remote air handlers with disconnected return-air boots in new Leander construction. Crystal Falls and Travisso homes built 2018-2022 often have RAH units stuffed into tight utility closets. The return boot (the duct section connecting the grille to the unit) gets shoved against the wall during final trim, popping the S-lock seam. The system pulls attic air instead of return air. We open the seam, re-crimp with a Pittsburgh lock former, seal with mastic, and photograph the repair from inside the boot with our borescope. Show the photo first. Then talk about what comes next.
Our Abatement Technologies Duct Repair & Sealing Process

- 1
Inspection with written scope. We feed a camera through every duct run, identify the failure point, and deliver a written scope with line-item pricing before any work starts. Haven Standard Clause 1: no exceptions.
- 2
Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. For Abatement Technologies units still under factory warranty, we use OEM collars, gaskets, and plenum sections to preserve coverage. For out-of-warranty equipment, we source from Guardsman and Honeywell aftermarket lines that meet or exceed OEM spec, with the trade-off explained in writing.
- 3
Repair execution. Metal seams get welded or locked, flex duct gets replaced with rated material, and every joint receives mastic sealant plus mechanical fastening. No tape-only repairs; tape is temporary, mastic is permanent.
- 4
Negative-pressure verification. We pressurize the repaired ductwork and measure static pressure at the unit. The reading must match Abatement Technologies’ published spec for your model, typically 0.5-1.0 inches water column for residential units.
- 5
Documented Photo Record delivery. Before-and-after images of every duct run, the pressure test readout, and the written warranty are uploaded to your job record within 24 hours. Included on every visit, no extra charge.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. The written guarantee goes into effect the moment we leave. If the repair fails, we make it right. Not a policy subject to manager approval. A written promise.

Why Leander Homeowners Call CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Leander for Abatement Technologies Work

We’ve been running crews in Leander since 2013, and Tomas Reyes has spent the better part of a decade on Abatement Technologies units specifically, including jobs in Crystal Falls where cedar pollen loads and new-construction debris create conditions you don’t see in manufacturer training manuals. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by name before arrival under Haven Standard Clause 3: Verified Crews.
We also service Lennox, Trane, and Carrier duct systems, which matters when your Abatement Technologies air scrubber is tied into a mixed-manufacturer HVAC setup and the failure could be on either side of the connection. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every repair, backed in writing, not just stated in marketing copy. And the Documented Photo Record on every visit means you can verify the work yourself instead of taking our word for it.
FAQs
Using non-OEM parts on a unit still under factory warranty can void specific component coverage, which is why we always check your serial number against Abatement Technologies’ records and document whether we used OEM or quality aftermarket parts in your job record. If warranty preservation is your priority, we source OEM and note the part numbers in writing. Call (737) 252-1285 and we’ll verify your warranty status before quoting.
We deliver a Documented Photo Record of every duct run, before and after, plus the negative-pressure test readout showing your system holds spec. If the photo doesn’t show sealed joints and the gauge doesn’t show verified pressure, the job isn’t complete. The images are yours to keep, share, or verify with a third party. For a free estimate with no obligation, call (737) 252-1285.
Replace when the plenum is rusted through, the flex duct is brittle throughout (common in Leander attics after 15+ years of heat cycling), or repair costs exceed 60% of a new unit installed. Repair when the failure is isolated to one seam, one collar, or one boot section. We give you both numbers in writing so you can decide on evidence, not pressure. Call (737) 252-1285 for both quotes.
Most single-point repairs, flex duct replacement, or collar reseals finish in 2-4 hours. Full plenum rebuilds or multi-run sealing jobs run 4-6 hours. We schedule a half-day block and don’t book another Leander job behind yours, so we’re not rushing to leave. For availability, call (737) 252-1285.
The $79 coupon model relies on arriving at your door and finding “problems” that multiply the bill. We don’t do that. Our price is the price, written before work starts, per system, with no per-vent add-ons. The difference is documented work versus vacuum noise. For a written estimate you can compare apples-to-apples, call (737) 252-1285.
